I traveled back to ancient times, but I was able to lie down and relax.

Hearing this, Liu Nanjia's expression softened somewhat.

It seems that Bai Ran's parents are different from those of her older brother Bai.

"We met Brother Bai while we were seeing a doctor at the clinic..." Then he picked out some things about their interactions.

"After that incident, he never went back to the clinic. It seems he was planning to leave, but I don't know where he was going."

"Do you think he might come home? My father and mother have missed him terribly these past few years," Bai Ran asked hopefully.

"Sister Bai, you shouldn't be asking me that question."

Liu Nanjia felt somewhat helpless; this should have been asked of the person involved.

After thinking for a moment, she added, "Sister Bai, I don't know what your parents have been thinking these past few years since Brother Bai left. But the key to getting Brother Bai back isn't actually Brother Bai himself, but rather them. Have they truly treated Brother Bai as an independent person, and have they learned to respect his wishes?"

"If he goes back and ends up facing the same life as before, then I don't think he'll go back. Because if it were me, I would absolutely not go back."

Having finished speaking, Bai Ran didn't linger any longer, still pondering Liu Nanjia's words as she left.

This conversation left Liu Nanjia feeling quite exhausted.

I'm still a teenager, how did I end up working as a psychologist?

Just as he was sprawled out in the chair, Song Chen came over.

"she left?"

Liu Nanjia rolled her eyes at him. "Whether he left or not, couldn't you see him in the lobby?"

This person clearly came over after seeing Bai Ran leave, so why is he asking so many pointless questions?

Song Chen touched his nose somewhat embarrassedly.

Liu Nanjia closed her eyes and rested for a while before realizing that Song Chen hadn't left yet.

"What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

"Cough, it's nothing."

"Why are you standing here if there's nothing wrong?" Liu Nanjia asked, puzzled.

Song Chen sidled up to him. "I just wanted to ask what you guys were talking about."

Bai Ran's warm attitude towards Liu Nanjia made him feel uneasy.

They've only just met, what could they possibly be talking about for so long? They're just talking about Bai Yichen again.

"So you've been dawdling here for ages just to find out this?"

"Ah, can't you?"

Liu Nanjia was speechless. "Why didn't you just say so? I thought you were up to something."

I briefly recounted their conversation.

When Song Chen heard that they were talking about this kind of thing, he realized that he had misunderstood and finally calmed down.

He felt quite sympathetic towards Bai Yichen's situation; in his previous circle of young masters, there were quite a few who were forced to study.

However, it's relatively rare for parents to disagree and drag the child back and forth.

He admired Bai Yichen for having the courage to escape.

"Hey, what about when you were little? Were you ever scolded for studying or anything like that?" Liu Nanjia suddenly became interested.

"Yes, of course I am. My mother got angry many times because I didn't want to study and only wanted to fight. She couldn't bear to hit me, so she called my father. My father would start hitting me and then start teaching me how to fight. In the end, we both got scolded by her again."

A smile appeared on Song Chen's face as he recalled his childhood.

"Later I understood why she wanted me to study, so I stopped skipping classes, but I would still make time to learn martial arts. Gradually, she started to care about me and would always make me different kinds of food to nourish my body."

"Because of this, my brother said that she was biased and would secretly bully me when I was learning martial arts, and then my father scolded him for it."

Liu Nanjia laughed heartily, "Your parents are both very good people."

From Song Chen's description, Liu Nanjia could sense that his childhood must have been very happy.

No wonder she turned out the way she does now. Despite experiencing such great changes, she hasn't become cynical and continues to live a very positive life.

At the same time, I felt a little sorry for him. If Song Chen's parents were still alive, he would definitely still be the glamorous young master of the Marquis's mansion.

I wouldn't have ended up here, working alongside them every day for this tiny shop.

'But then I wouldn't have met him.'

Thinking of this possibility, Liu Nanjia suddenly felt a sense of loss.

When Song Chen saw that Liu Nanjia's expression changed, he thought she was regretting mentioning her parents, so he quickly said, "It's okay. I'm glad someone is willing to listen to me. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll forget them one day. You can ask me anything."

Liu Nanjia suddenly realized what she had been thinking, and her face turned red again when she heard Song Chen's words.

"Tomorrow will be the third day after Sister Cao's wedding. How should they go about their homecoming? Should Sister Cao accompany them back to the village?"

The topic was changed very quickly, and Song Chen didn't say anything more. He followed Liu Nanjia's words and replied, "It seems so, but whether to reply or not depends on how much you value the other person. For people like the two of them who are quite different, even if they don't reply, no one can say anything."

Liu Nanjia nodded knowingly, preparing to inquire about Cao Wanying's situation tomorrow.

The next day, before she could even ask, Cao Wanying came to their shop first.

"Sister Cao, what brings you here today?"
