After her transformation and rebirth, she manipulates the innocent and ruthless to overthrow the wor

Time flies like an arrow, and Xiao Ran bent down to pick up a fallen withered leaf, only then realizing that late autumn had quietly arrived.

Chuntao chattered incessantly from the side, then hurried over carrying a gauze dress. "Miss! You need to wear more clothes, the weather will get chilly in the blink of an eye!"

Xiao Ran slowly stood up from the swaying swing, letting Chun Tao drape a gauze dress over her shoulders.

Chun Tao was quite surprised. She clearly remembered that the girl used to hate cumbersome clothes the most, and often complained that too many clothes would hinder her movement. After all, the girl was lively by nature, and was very interested in playing. Her playful nature was on full display.

Xiao Ran used to be unafraid of the cold, but ever since she experienced that life-or-death ordeal on that snowy night, she is no longer the same as she was in her previous life.

Despite her doubts, Chuntao quickly draped a gauze robe over her, fearing that it was just a passing whim of the young lady.

Just then, Xia He rushed in from outside the courtyard, shouting, "Miss! The person has arrived."

Upon hearing this, Chun Tao immediately quickened her pace in tying her gauze dress, but before she could finish, Xiao Ran had already instructed Xiao Lan, who was standing to the side holding a food box, to leave with her.

Upon seeing this, Chun Tao instinctively scratched her head.

Who on earth is this person? How could they possibly make this young lady so anxious?

She tiptoed closer to Xia He, trying to find out what was going on. Xia He just smiled and reached out to gently tap her head.

"We've been looking forward to the autumn break for so long, do you really expect the young lady to spend all day buried in her books in her room?"

"This young lady is not the type to study!"

“So…” Xia He gazed tenderly in the direction Xiao Ran had left, a faint smile playing on her lips, and said softly, “Whoever it is, as long as they can bring a smile to your face, that is enough.”

……

Whoever Xia He mentioned was standing quietly under the ginkgo tree at the back gate of the General's Mansion.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the ginkgo tree branches, falling on his high-tied headband. Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew by, and several ginkgo leaves drifted down gracefully.

A ginkgo leaf brushed gently past his ear, seemingly tickling him, so he turned slightly to the side.

Just as he turned around, his gaze fell upon Xiao Ran, who was gracefully walking out of the door.

At this moment, Xiao Ran was wearing a moon-white silk dress with delicate light blue cloud patterns embroidered on the hem. She wore a light white gauze coat over it, and a delicate pear blossom hairpin was inserted diagonally in her hair. A few strands of her hair, not properly pinned, fell to the sides and swayed with her steps, making her look playful.

"Aran."

Xiao Ran smiled gently, her clear laughter echoing in the air like silver bells, "You've come."

Duanli responded softly, her voice slightly hoarse, whether from the dry weather or some other reason was unknown.

Seeing that Duan Li was still wearing his police uniform, Xiao Ran felt a little embarrassed and said apologetically:

"Today was indeed a bit rushed. Master Qi sent me a message early this morning. I was worried that you would be anxious, so I quickly summoned you here."

Duan Li remained calm and simply replied, "It's nothing."

"Then let's hurry up and go."

After speaking, Xiao Ran walked gracefully past Duan Li, and very naturally reached out and gently took his hand.

The movements were fluid and graceful, without the slightest hesitation or awkwardness.

Duan Li's body stiffened slightly.

But before he could think it over for long, or perhaps he didn't have time to think it over, he inexplicably and obediently started jogging with Xiao Ran, his steps light and quick, as if some unknown emotion was quietly spreading in his heart.
