After all, he and Shao Moli were husband and wife in their previous life.

Jiang Zheyuan quickly realized that Shao Moli's silence concealed her secret thoughts.

The way she looked at me was so similar to how she looked in my previous life.

Restrained yet passionate.

At first, he didn't believe Shao Wanwan's claim that Shao Moli had feelings for him.

Since his rebirth, he has actually had no private interaction with Shao Moli.

All the contact was provided by Shao Wanwan, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Shao Wanwan had intended to bring them together, and after he discovered this, she admitted it.

Unexpectedly, Shao Moli really fell for him.

But he cannot accept even the slightest bit.

Because in this life, he will not follow the old path again, so he maintains an extremely polite distance from Shao Moli and will not give her any hope.

Having decided to change Shao Wanwan's tragic fate and to stay with her until old age, one must remain steadfast.

If you show leniency to everyone, you'll end up hurting both of them.

Seeing Shao Moli so dejected, it would be impossible for Jiang Zheyuan not to be moved at all.

But his feelings towards her now are completely different from when he first met her after his rebirth. Back then, he felt excitement, guilt, and regret for not being able to see her one last time in his previous life.

There are also feelings left in the heart and memories from the previous life.

But that was in the previous life.

The person he needs to look at now is Shao Wanwan.

Or rather, the person he wanted to look at more was Shao Wanwan.

Shao Moli was always a woman of few words, and she didn't say a word on the way back.

To avoid embarrassment, she simply went to sleep as soon as she got on the bus.

Jiang Zheyuan and Shao Wanwan didn't think much of it, assuming she was really asleep, and started talking quietly.

Jiang Zheyuan told Shao Wanwan that his hometown had a greyhound with a face like a car seat. It ate a lot and ran very fast. It liked to catch wild rabbits in the fields in winter.

Shao Wanwan listened with a smile.

She actually knew about this; it was written in the book. The dog was named Mantou (Steamed Bun), and it later died of illness.

Steamed buns hold special significance for Jiang Zheyuan. They were a gift from his maternal grandmother, who passed away before he transmigrated into the book.

He died from extremely painful pancreatic cancer.

These books have all actually covered this topic.

So when Jiang Zheyuan talked about the dog, although she listened with a smile, she couldn't hide the sadness of knowing the ending.

Besides thinking of Jiang Zheyuan's grandmother who doted on him.

Another thought was about the fate of the original owner of the book.

The day before Mantou died of illness, the original owner of the body died tragically while racing a car with a rich second-generation.

Jiang Zheyuan hugged the steamed bun and cried so hard he almost fainted. The author subtly expressed that Jiang Zheyuan's grief-stricken crying was not for the steamed bun, but simply a way to vent his suppressed pain through the steamed bun.

The original owner's betrayal prevented Jiang Zheyuan from crying loudly for her.

However, the deep-seated regret he felt for the original owner and the bond he shared with his wife made it difficult for him to control himself.

Jiang Zheyuan told many interesting stories related to steamed buns.

In order not to disturb Shao Moli, he kept his voice low.

Her voice, already cool and aloof, now carried a hint of bubblyness, making it incredibly gentle and alluring.

Shao Wanwan sat next to him, her ears tickling slightly, and asked uncomfortably, "Can't greyhounds be kept in the city? There's no place for them to run around?"

Jiang Zheyuan nodded.

The Jiang family's old house has a particularly large garden where Mantou can run around freely.

“Winter break is here. Would you like to come stay at the old house with me for a while? Um… Grandma grows a lot of flowers in the greenhouse at the old house. It’s a great place to relax,” Jiang Zheyuan said softly.

The book mentions that Jiang Zheyuan's grandfather lived in a retirement home.

Grandma couldn't bear to part with the garden she had tended herself, so she spent most of her time living in the old house.

Each of the Jiang brothers went back to spend some time with her. There were several servants who had been with the family for almost twenty years. Grandma was quite happy staying in the old house, and she would also spend two months a year accompanying Grandpa to the retirement home.

I spend most of my time at the old house.

Grandpa would also return to the old house for a month during the first month of the lunar calendar.

Because all of Jiang's relatives would gather at Jiang's house for a New Year's Eve reunion, sometimes from the first day of the Lunar New Year until the fifteenth.

The first month of the lunar calendar is the liveliest time at the Jiang family's old house.

Is Jiang Zheyuan going to introduce her to all his relatives?

Shao Wanwan felt she wasn't ready yet.

Seeing that Shao Wanwan's eyes were somewhat evasive, Jiang Zheyuan was also worried that he would hear something he didn't like, so he changed the subject and said, "I can stay with you and not go back, if you don't know... where to go."

Shao Wanwan had mentioned a few times before that winter vacation was coming soon and she didn't want to go back to the Shao family home. She felt like an outsider, not familiar with either side of the family, and that every time they had a family gathering, it was very awkward.

Jiang Zheyuan took such a casual complaint to heart.

Sometimes the other person is too responsible, which is a downside. It makes her feel guilty easily and she doesn't dare to speak casually.

"I can spend the New Year in the house my dad left me. That neighborhood still looks pretty safe..." Shao Wanwan glanced at Shao Moli, and after making sure she was completely asleep, she said softly.

This matter couldn't really be kept secret, but she really didn't want anyone other than Jiang Zheyuan and herself to know.

Firstly, Jiang Zheyuan paid for the house, so they definitely have to pay him back.

Secondly, Jiang Zheyuan paid for the renovation, so the house is more like Jiang Zheyuan's house than hers.

Jiang Zheyuan then remembered this house.

Thinking of the house, he couldn't help but recall the last time he saw Uncle Shao and his younger uncle, which was in the house that Uncle Shao left for Shao Wanwan.

Once the matter of the house was clarified, he rarely had nightmares anymore, and he saw Uncle Shao much less often.

For the past two weeks, I haven't had a single nightmare.

He knew that Uncle Shao had not completely left, because he could still sometimes sense Uncle Shao's presence, but he never appeared rashly again.

If Uncle Shao can only move around in certain fixed areas.

Is it only by returning to the house he left for Shao Wanwan that he can see the daughter he can't let go of?

Jiang Zheyuan has always hoped that Uncle Shao can be reincarnated, but Uncle Shao never tells him what he needs to do to help him reincarnate.

It's like... he still can't be sure that Shao Wanwan's fate in this life will definitely be changed.

“That’s fine, I can stay with you. My parents have many relatives, and every year during the Spring Festival they are very happy. They don’t need me to stay with them. But I’m worried about you.”

Shao Wanwan knew that Jiang Zheyuan was telling the truth.

The Jiang family's house is always bustling with visitors during the Lunar New Year, mainly because the old man is highly respected, the grandmother is also very well-regarded, and all the children are very promising.

The family has grown large and prosperous, and it is especially crowded during festivals.

Shao Wanwan felt she should refuse, but compared to going to the Jiang family's old house, the latter seemed at least more comfortable.

"We'll talk about it later! There's only a little over a month until the final exams. Even though I don't have to attend classes anymore, my classmates will be unhappy if my grades are too bad." Shao Wanwan quickly led the way.
