At that time, she had no idea why either…

Xing Jiuan curved her lips into a smile. Fortunately, she had returned to the starting point, and she did not make the wrong decision again.

Bai Jing walked over and chatted with the two of them for a while before Mu Qing and Lu Mingxi arrived.

Lu Zhichen did not go up to her. He recognized the young lady at first glance, but that girl did not recognize him.

However, it was only right. After all, the little girl was only five years old back then.

Although she had already talked to the Master, Xing Jiuan still felt very restrained when she was with Mu Qing.

She was cautiously nervous.

After all, in her previous life, it had been a long time since the two of them had a proper conversation like this. Even if she had returned to the past, it was impossible for her to change so quickly.

Xing Jiuan was a person who was very sensitive to the environment. The moment she was used to one thing but had to change it, she would feel panicky.

It was not easy for her to get used to living alone with no one by her side. Now that she had the company of her family and friends once again, she still did not dare to touch them. It was like something that could be seen but not touched. She was afraid that they would disappear the moment she got them.

She could not afford for that to happen.

Mu Qing didn’t know what she was thinking. He only felt that this little girl no longer seemed close to him after he had returned. She even seemed to be avoiding him.

She would not tell him what she wanted to do or where she wanted to go anymore.

“Oh, you’re all here. Just perfect…” It was unknown when Sixth Senior Sister had arrived. When she saw Xing Jiuan and Mu Qing, she walked over with a smile. “When will the competition begin? I can’t wait to see our Little 21st’s elegance.”

“Soon,” Xing Jiuan answered.
