100 Days of Rebirth: The Loyal Dog of the Cold and Aloof Actress

The moment Meng Tingwan saw Nancy, she knew why Sister Yan had mistaken her for a foreigner.

The girl standing at the door had blonde hair, and although her eyes weren't the blue pupils of a foreigner, they were light brown, and she was dressed differently.

She wore a retro court-style dress, sheepskin boots, and a white cloak, looking like a doll.

When Nancy saw Meng Tingwan, she was a little scared, her fingers unconsciously curling up as she clutched her clothes.

"You've come to see Cheng Yu?"

Meng Tingwan's voice was very gentle, as if she was afraid of frightening her.

I don't know why, but I just felt like this was how I should treat her.

"Yes." Nancy nodded obediently, then, remembering a movie she had recently watched, her eyes suddenly widened. "You're Meng Tingwan!"

Her voice sounded very surprised.

Meng Tingwan smiled and said, "Yes, I am."

"Cheng Yu isn't here. You can call him if you need to find him."

The girl looked like a foreigner, but she thought she was at most a mixed-race person because her appearance was typical of East Asians.

"I couldn't get through to Brother Cheng Yu on the phone, nor could I get through to Brother Feng Zhuo. I thought he wouldn't be working today because it's the weekend, so I came here to look for him. I'm sorry to bother you." Nancy gave a polite curtsy and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, Diudiu, who was nestled comfortably in Meng Tingwan's arms, suddenly broke free and ran towards Nancy at the door.

"Diudiu, come back!" Meng Tingwan called out from behind, afraid that it would scare people.

Nancy was indeed startled and stood still, too scared to move. Diudiu ran to her feet and started barking, rubbing its head against Nancy's feet.

After Meng Tingwan came over, she picked it up again and said apologetically to her, "I'm sorry, Diudiu is not usually like this. I guess it's just a little excited to see strangers today."

"It's alright, I came uninvited, so I apologize for being a bit presumptuous." Nancy looked at Diudiu nestled in Meng Tingwan's arms, its big eyes still looking at her, and reached out her left hand to stroke its head.

"It's so beautiful, how old is it?"

"She's fifteen years old."

Nancy was surprised, "So big."

"It was a pet that my sister and I raised when we were little."

"No wonder." The more Nancy looked at Diudiu, the more she thought it was beautiful, and she couldn't bear to put it down.

Meng Tingwan didn't think much of it, only that she simply liked him.

"I haven't asked your name yet. What's your name?"

"Nancy."

Nancy smiled at her, her eyes crinkling into crescents, bright and lovely.

Meng Tingwan repeated her name in her heart, and felt an inexplicable fondness for her.

Seeing that the two were having a good conversation, Sister Yan went over and closed the door. "Miss Meng, it's cold outside. Let's go inside and talk."

Nancy felt it wasn't appropriate. "Since Brother Cheng Yu isn't here, I'd better leave and not bother you any longer."

"It's alright, I won't bother you. I'm all alone here. Why don't you tell me what you need him for? Maybe I can help."

Meng Tingwan blurted out those words without thinking.

After she finished speaking, she herself couldn't quite believe it.

Nancy was both surprised and delighted, because she had only seen her on screen before, and now that she was seeing her in person, she felt a little awkward.

And the fact that she's here suggests she has a close relationship with Brother Cheng Yu.

Although she was curious about it, she shouldn't have asked.

Nancy remembered what her brother had taught her, so she was very well-behaved.

"Sister Tingwan, may I call you that?"

"of course can."

The two sat on the sofa, and Sister Yan, with her keen eye, went to pour water and prepare fruit.

As soon as Meng Tingwan put Diudiu down, it ran to Nancy's feet and pawed at her legs, wanting to climb on her.

Nancy picked it up.

"It seems Diudiu really likes you."

Meng Tingwan said with a faint smile.

Nancy stroked its belly, looked up and asked, "Is its name Diudiu?"

"Yes, I named it that because I was afraid of losing it," Meng Tingwan explained.

Moreover, Diudiu is very afraid of strangers, yet she likes Nancy so much, something Meng Tingwan hadn't expected.

"You still haven't said what you want to see Cheng Yu about?"

Nancy stopped teasing Diudiu and then remembered her important matter. "There's an event at Yuezhou University tomorrow that requires family members to attend, but my brother is too busy to come. He asked me to ask Brother Cheng Yu for help."

Meng Tingwan gleaned some information from his words, but still asked uncertainly, "Does your family only have your brother?"

Nancy hummed in agreement. "My parents passed away when I was very young. I only have an older brother."

"Feel sorry."

"It's okay, I don't remember any of the small things. I only remember that my brother was always there for me as I grew up and was very good to me." Nancy was optimistic. Her memories of her childhood were very vague, almost nonexistent.

Meng Tingwan felt a little sorry for her, "Did you come to Yuezhou University to study abroad?"

“No, it’s a six-month exchange program,” Nancy said. “I was supposed to come next year, but at the end of last month, my brother Cheng Yu went to Y country, so my brother asked me to come with him and moved the date forward by a few months.”

"I see." Meng Tingwan said knowingly.

I don’t know where Cheng Yu went on his business trip, but wasn’t the end of last month just before Feng Qi died?

I suppose it has nothing to do with me.

What time is tomorrow's event?

Nancy blinked, thought for a moment, and said, "It'll be over by nine in the morning, before noon."

"If you don't mind, I can go."

Her words stunned not only Nancy but also Sister Yan standing next to her.

Nancy was astonished. "Sister Tingwan, are you serious?"

Meng Tingwan knew this was actually a bit inappropriate, after all, she was not related to her, did not know her brother, and only had a contractual relationship with Cheng Yu.

“I haven’t been working these past few days and have been staying here. I was thinking of going out for a walk. If you mind, I’ll talk to Cheng Yu when he gets back tonight.”

“I don’t mind, I don’t mind.” Nancy waved her hand, her soft and cute face beaming with joy. “I’m actually a fan of yours too. I saw you when you went to Y country for a fashion show and an event, but I never had a chance to say hello. I was just too excited and surprised. I didn’t expect you to say that.”

Seeing her eager explanation, Meng Tingwan thought that the girl in front of her was really beautiful, and her brother must dote on her.

That's why she has such bright and clear eyes, and such an innocent and carefree personality.

Despite her joy, Nancy still voiced her concerns, "But Sister Tingwan, is it safe for you to be there? What if something happens?"

"It's okay, I'll just pretend. I'm just worried that it might get exposed and cause you trouble."

“How could that be?” Nancy smiled sweetly.

Looking at her smiling face, Meng Tingwan was momentarily dazed and murmured, "My sister should be about your age too."

Nancy, unaware that she had a younger sister, pressed further, "Is your sister also at Guangdong University?"

"She's not here." Meng Tingwan shook her head gently, her expression somewhat sad. "I lost her."
