The moment Shao Xingguo saw Nuonuo, he was both shocked and puzzled.

"Excuse me, are you from the high school section?"

The reason I remember it is because I mistook someone else for someone else back then.

And then there's that brat Zhao Heng's antics, which made him lose face too.

Nuonuo smiled, her eyes crinkling; she hadn't expected him to still remember her.

"Senior Shao, my name is Cheng Nuo!" Nuo Nuo stretched out her hand, tilted her head, and looked at Shao Xingguo with a smile.

Shao Xingguo was slightly taken aback, and the instant he reached out to grasp the other person's hand, he immediately let go.

"I remember you. Is there something you need?"

Nono kicked the ground. "I'm here to tell you that I did live in the Sichuan Military Region."

The seemingly random remark left Shao Xingguo momentarily speechless.

Nuonuo tilted her head again and said, "Does Brother Shao write in his diary about helping old ladies cross the road all the time?"

Shao Xingguo's pupils dilated, and he excitedly moved closer, "Nono, you are Nono!"

He insisted that he hadn't admitted his mistake!

With so much to say, Shao Xingguo didn't know where to begin.

Nuonuo looked around and saw that many people had already turned to look at her because of Shao Xingguo's reaction.

"Brother Shao, let's find somewhere to talk!"

Shao Xingguo calmed himself down a bit and took Nuonuo to the artificial lake.

"Nono, how did you remember me?" Shao Xingguo asked impatiently.

I didn't recognize him at first, even though it's been more than half a year.

Nuonuo smiled faintly and said, "I heard my mother, Aunt Deng, and Aunt Feng mention it during the New Year."

Shao Xingguo felt slightly disappointed. He thought Nuonuo would remember him as much as he remembered her.

It turns out he was overthinking it.

"Are your uncle and aunt doing well?"

Nono nodded. "They're all doing fine."

My father is now a professor at the Military Science and Technology University and the commander of the Taipei Military Region.

My mother is now the head of the Economic and Trade Bureau and also the chairman of Qingchuan Group.

Cheng Xin is still a little kid, so his parents have to worry about him a lot.

Of course she's a good girl!

"Brother Shao, if you're free this weekend, why don't you come to my house?"

"My mother was anxious to know news about Aunt Guo."

Shao Xingguo paused, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

"My mother passed away five years ago!"

Nono's smile faltered. "I'm sorry!"

"It's alright, it's all in the past," Shao Xingguo said, forcing a smile as he reassured her.

Nono felt very sad looking at him.

In her past life, she didn't have a mother.

She was acutely aware of the helplessness and heartache of not having a mother.

Nuonuo gently patted Shao Xingguo's head, "Brother Shao, Aunt Guo must have turned into the brightest star and will always protect you."

Shao Xingguo felt a lump in his throat. He looked up at the sky, but there wasn't a cloud in the sky. He couldn't find the star that belonged to his mother.

......

Over the weekend, Shao Xingguo followed the address left by Nuonuo and found the Cheng family's house.

After hearing about Guo Chunxiang's situation, Li Wanqing remained silent for a long time.

She never imagined that their parting years ago would be their last.

"Your mother..." Li Wanqing opened her mouth and then closed it again, wanting to know the cause of Guo Chunxiang's death.

But seeing Shao Xingguo's sorrowful face, she couldn't let her child relive the past.

"Where is your mother buried? Your Aunt Deng, Aunt Feng, and I will go and see her."

“In Yunnan Province,” Shao Xingguo said. “My father was transferred to Yunnan Province, and our family went with him.”

Li Wanqing understood; no wonder they hadn't found it.

"Okay!" Li Wanqing patted him on the shoulder. "Now that you're in Taipei, come visit us often."

"Nono is studying at your affiliated middle school, so I'm asking you to take good care of her."

Shao Xingguo's eyes lit up, and he agreed.

Looking at his current composed demeanor, so different from his carefree childhood self, Li Wanqing felt a pang of sadness.

Children without mothers tend to mature early.

Li Wanqing verbally asked Shao Xingguo to take care of Nuonuo, but in reality, she wanted Nuonuo to take care of Shao Xingguo.

Before Shao Xingguo graduated, Nuonuo would always bring him delicious food from home.

Of course, if anyone were to harass Nuonuo, Shao Xingguo would be the first to step forward and help her get rid of the harassment.

For three years of high school, Shao Xingguo took her home and back to school almost every day.

Cheng Nuo treated Shao Xingguo as her older brother, and Shao Xingguo treated Cheng Nuo as his younger sister.

It wasn't until Cheng Nuo went to university and had many more male suitors that Shao Xingguo suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

But how can someone who has just graduated from university give Nuonuo happiness?

Given Cheng Jiaxian's current situation, he was even more ashamed to confess his feelings.

They thought they were destined to miss each other, but an unexpected event gradually made their relationship clear.

Cheng Nuo is beautiful and academically excellent.

She has many admirers at school, and with them, many are jealous of her.

During her sophomore year, the school held a social event, and she couldn't resist her roommate's request, so she went along.

I thought it was at school, but it turned out to be a bar.

A group of people were drinking and smoking.

Cheng Nuo tried to leave immediately, but was stopped by others. Amidst the jeers of the crowd, they insisted that she be paired with a drunkard.

"I already have a boyfriend!" Cheng Nuo frowned and backed away again and again.

Her roommate blocked her from leaving.

Cheng Nuo knew she had been deceived, but she was alone and helpless, and she couldn't help but feel scared.

Just as the drunkard lunged at her, Shao Xingguo appeared with his men and rescued her from the clutches of the madman.

That night, Shao Xingguo knelt before Li Wanqing and Cheng Baichuan.

"Uncle Cheng, Aunt Li, I like Nuonuo. Please allow me to pursue Nuonuo."

The boy's expression was firm, and his words were resolute.

It was hard for Li Wanqing and her husband not to be moved, but since it concerned their daughter, they naturally wouldn't agree so easily.

"Aunt Li, I know I'm not good enough for Nuonuo right now, but I will try my best."

"In this lifetime, I will only be good to Nuonuo."

Cheng Baichuan looked at him, his eyes and nose were not his eyes, but when he thought of Shao Wenzhao, his heart softened a little.

"Nono's affairs are her own decision, but there is one condition: you are not allowed to overstep your bounds before she graduates from university."

Shao Xingguo naturally agreed, for those who love others should be cherished above all else.

After Shao Xingguo left, the couple asked Nuonuo what she thought. Seeing their daughter's shy expression, they understood everything.

"So many years have passed, and Lao Shao really succeeded!" Cheng Baichuan smiled helplessly.

Li Wanqing patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Fortunately, the people of Xingguo are nice; after all, they are the ones we watched grow up."

After deciding to be with Nuonuo, Shao Xingguo worked even harder.

At Li Wanqing's suggestion, he resigned from his job to start his own business and entered the internet industry.

It wasn't until Cheng Nuo was about to graduate from university that the company gradually gained a foothold and reached a cooperation agreement with the government.

On the day Cheng Nuo graduated, Shao Xingguo knelt on one knee, holding flowers in his hands.

"Nono, will you marry me?"

Cheng Nuo's lips curled up slightly, "Okay!"
