Wear matching pearl jewelry when visiting someone else's home; this outfit and combination is foolproof.

I grabbed a versatile bag and went downstairs, where the driver had already placed the bag on the table.

Nan Zheng glanced at them and said, "These are all quite suitable."

Driver: "That's good. Do you need me to take you there?"

Nan Zheng: "No need, someone is coming to pick me up." She told the driver to go back first.

Tell Auntie again that she doesn't need to come to cook lunch.

I sat on the sofa, read a book, and waited for them to arrive.

At 10 o'clock sharp, the phone rang. Duan Jiaxu and the others arrived at the door, and Nan Zheng took her things and bag and went out.

Sang Yan and Duan Jiaxu sat in the car, looking towards the door.

Looking around, Sang Yan said, "This neighborhood is nice."

Duan Jiaxu's mind wasn't on his surroundings: "Yeah, I'll go down and get her."

He opened the car door and got out, and saw Nan Zheng carrying things out. Duan Jiaxu quickly went forward to help.

Duan Jiaxu: "I'll help you with that, you get in the car first."

Nan Zheng: "Thank you."

Sang Yan opened the trunk, and Duan Jiaxu put the things inside.

Nan Zheng opened the back door and got in.

Duan Jiaxu returned to the passenger seat, and Sang Yan said, "Let's go."

Duan Jiaxu: "Let's go."

Nan Zheng: "Did you come from school?"

Duan Jiaxu: "Yes, it just so happens to be very close to you."

Sang Yan: "It's very convenient to go to school from here."

Nan Zheng: "Yes, you can walk there if you have time."

Duan Jiaxu laughed out loud: "Your workout?"

Nan Zheng's lips curled up slightly: "Yes."

Judging from the atmosphere between them, Sang Yan felt that Duan Jiaxu's feelings weren't exactly unrequited; it was more like they both had some interest in each other.

It took about forty minutes by car to arrive at Sang Yan's residential area.

After he parked the car, Duan Jiaxu and Sang Yan carried the things, while Nan Zheng followed empty-handed.

As soon as the door opened, Sang Zhi heard the sound and came out, running to Nan Zheng.

"Sister Nanzheng, you're here."

Looking at Sang Zhi's joyful eyes, Nan Zheng's voice softened: "Yes, I came to see you."

Sang Zhi smiled, her eyes crinkling, and then she saw Duan Jiaxu: "Brother Jiaxu."

Duan Jiaxu: "Sang Zhi, we meet again."

Sang Zhi: "Yes."

Sang Yan: "Hey kid, can't you see there's someone else next to you?"

Sang Zhi: "I saw it."

Sang Zhi's mother came out and said, "Everyone is here. Come in and let's talk."

Then she looked at Nan Zheng and said gently, "You must be the Nan Zheng sister that Zhizhi often mentions. I want to thank you for helping Zhizhi before."

Nan Zheng: "Auntie, you're too kind. I was just helping out with a small thing."

Sang Zhi's mother: "Zhizhi likes you very much. Please come to our house more often when you have time."

Nan Zheng nodded, and Sang Zhi's mother then said to Duan Jiaxu, "Jiaxu is here too, come in quickly, Sang Yan, what did you bring?"

The group walked in, talking as they went.

Nan Zheng: "Auntie, this is a gift I bought for you. It's just a small token of my appreciation. I hope you like it."

Sangzhi's mother chided, "You're too kind! Why did you bring a gift?"

Nan Zheng: "It's only right that I come to bother you, Auntie."

Sang Zhi's mother: "This child is so sensible. Alright, sit down first. Sang Yan, go pour some tea."

Sang Zhi took Nan Zheng's hand and walked in to sit down. Duan Jiaxu sat next to Nan Zheng, and Sang Yan dutifully poured tea.

Sangzhi's mother cut some fruit and brought it over: "You guys play first, I'll go cook, I'll call you when it's ready."

Duan Jiaxu: "Auntie, you go ahead and do your work. Thank you for your hard work."

Sang Zhi's mother: "It's no trouble at all. I'm happy that you come to our home so often."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Sang Zhi's mother went to cook, and Sang Zhi showed Nan Zheng around her room.

Duan Jiaxu followed Sang Yan to his room.

Sang Yan: "Duan Jiaxu, I've noticed that Nan Zheng treats you a little differently too."

Duan Jiaxu asked in surprise, "Really?"

Sang Yan: "Can't you see it because you're in the thick of it?"

Duan Jiaxu: "I just can't quite believe it."

Sang Yan: "What's there to be skeptical about? She's just getting closer to you."

Does anyone else know their home address? The two are familiar with each other and even joke around.

Duan Jiaxu pondered, realizing he needed some time to pay off his debts before he could talk to her and clear things up.

Seeing that he was engrossed in his thoughts, Sang Yan didn't disturb him.

Downstairs, Sang Zhi was showing Nan Zheng the things in her room.

Sang Zhi asked suddenly, her tone filled with curiosity, "Sister, does Brother Jiaxu like you?"

Nan Zheng: "Why do you say that?"

Sang Zhi: "Every time Jiaxu sees my sister, I notice that his attention is on her."

Nan Zheng: "I don't know, he didn't tell me!"

Sang Zhi exclaimed in surprise, "Then I've exposed Brother Jiaxu's secret."

Nan Zheng was amused by her, and her smile was as warm as melting snow.

Sang Zhi exclaimed in amazement, "Sister, you're so beautiful. It's normal that Brother Jiaxu likes you."

At first, I was indeed a little curious about the gentle and handsome Jiaxu.

After discovering Jiaxu's different attitude towards Nanzheng, I stopped thinking about anything else.

Both of them are my favorite older brother and sister.

Nan Zheng: "Zhizhi is also very pretty and cute."

Sang Zhi's eyes lit up: "Sister, I like it when you call me that."

Nan Zheng: "Okay, I'll call you Zhizhi from now on."

Sang Zhi: "Okay."

After lunch, Sang Yan escorted the two of them back.

Nan Zheng: "Just drop me off at the entrance of the residential area."

Duan Jiaxu: "I also got off there; I was just about to go to my part-time job."

Sang Yan glanced at the two of them. Since they had asked, he couldn't very well keep them from spending time alone together.

"Okay, I'll take you to the door later."

After getting out of the car, the two began to walk inside.

Duan Jiaxu looked at Nan Zheng and said, "I'll take you home first!"

Nan Zheng: "Weren't you going to do a part-time job?"

Duan Jiaxu: "There's still plenty of time, we can make it."

Nan Zheng: "Okay." If he's willing to give it to me, then so be it.

Xiao Qi asked expectantly, "Host, will he confess his feelings to you today?"

Nan Zheng: "Probably not!"

Xiao Qi: "Why?"

Nan Zheng: "Think about his family situation."

Xiao Qi: "Doesn't he have the courage now?"

Nan Zheng's lips curled into a slight smile: "That's right."

Xiao Qi: "Human emotions are so complicated."

Nan Zheng didn't answer; human nature is the most complex thing.

I just want to live freely and unrestrainedly, as long as conditions allow.

Duan Jiaxu tried to start a conversation: "Do you live here alone?"

Nan Zheng: "Yes, I live alone."

Duan Jiaxu: "Don't your parents stay with you?"

Nan Zheng: "They are quite busy with work."

Duan Jiaxu: "Would a person feel afraid or uncomfortable?"

Nan Zheng: "It's alright, I'm used to it."

Duan Jiaxu didn't detect sadness in her tone, only nonchalance; she had a very strong heart.

The more Duan Jiaxu learned about her, the more he liked her.

Duan Jiaxu smiled and said, "Being alone is more liberating."

Nan Zheng: "Yes, no one restricts me."

Duan Jiaxu: "That's great." No wonder she has such a carefree attitude.
