The Truth

Qin Yanan's apartment was actually on the top of Mount Lu. Liu Chang'an only found out then that Mount Lu was originally a national 5A-level scenic spot. Due to development and construction in recent years, there are no private residences left, but there is a hotel on the top of the mountain, right next to the viewing platform where Liu Chang'an and Ma Benwei were live streaming that day.

Qin Yanan rented the apartment with the best view in the hotel, which came with a huge rooftop terrace. It was even better than the public platform in the scenic area, offering a panoramic view of the entire Junsha area. The scenery was even more expansive than the view from the top of the Baolong Center.

Upon arriving here, Zhu Juntang hadn't finished asking her question. "Then let me ask you, if you really were Longevity, how would your mindset differ from that of an ordinary person?"

"I know the first chapter of Zhou Nan, and you know the first and second chapters of Zhou Nan." Liu Chang'an casually plucked a leaf and slapped it on Zhu Juntang's mouth. "Shut up, ring the doorbell."

"No need for a doorbell, I gave her an elevator as a Children's Day gift." Zhu Juntang led Liu Chang'an around to the other side of the hotel. Qin Yanan was on a long-term lease, so of course she would discuss some terms with the hotel, including some requirements for installation and renovation. Normally, Qin Yanan would not use the hotel lobby or front courtyard to enter or leave.

Children's Day?

"Yes, she gave me a set of twelve dresses based on the zodiac fairy tale theme."

Children's Day?

"Fairies always celebrate Children's Day; Qin Yanan is just too shy to say she's a fairy."

Liu Chang'an nodded in understanding. Wasn't he also an eighteen-year-old boy? It was normal for these fairies to think of themselves as children forever.

"But what exactly are the first and second chapters of 'Zhou Nan'?" Zhu Juntang pressed.

"This is something everyone should read, and you don't even know that?"

Zhu Juntang truly didn't know; perhaps a human being would be able to read it, but she was born a fairy.

The two took the elevator to the second floor. The elevator had three floors in total. The first floor was just the entrance, the second floor was Qin Yanan's suite, and the third floor led to a private viewing platform.

"Why did you decide to come along today?" Qin Yanan had already received a message from Zhu Juntang on the way. After washing up, she changed into a light green suit.

The green fabric Ziqing and elegant. The skirt, as light as gauze, is adorned with patches and clusters of bamboo leaves, covering the white lining. It sways like the wind as she moves. Her long hair is loose and has a fluffy fringe. She has a light and breezy feel, as if she should live alone. Her peerless beauty makes one wonder if she is an immortal.

Qin Yanan is indeed very beautiful. Although her eyes and brows often carry a hint of coldness and arrogance, this naturally transforms into a smile when she is with people she knows well.

"We've suddenly become interested in popular music from the 1930s and 40s, and we'd like to talk to you about it." Zhu Juntang felt that her opening remarks were very skillful. They could both test whether Qin Yanan was now Ye Sijin and start a conversation to further test her, or provoke her into doing something unusual.

"Huh?" Qin Yanan looked at Zhu Juntang suspiciously. "You seem to be tone-deaf, don't you?"

"Last night, Zhu Juntang saw you sleepwalking and suspected that Ye Sijin had possessed you," Liu Chang'an said bluntly.

Zhu Juntang hurriedly covered Liu Chang'an's mouth, stamping her foot in frustration, "How could you say that directly? If you had just said it, if she were Ye Sijin, she would have pretended to be Qin Yanan to avoid exposing herself."

"Are you crazy?" Qin Yanan glared at Zhu Juntang with annoyance.

Zhu Juntang confirmed the look in his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. He said to Liu Chang'an with certainty, "It's Qin Yanan. If it were her great-grandmother, she definitely wouldn't have rolled her eyes so rudely."

Liu Chang'an opened Zhu Juntang's hand; her fingers were fair and soft, like white jade candy.

"However, you said I sleepwalked last night?" Qin Yanan knew that Zhu Juntang and Liu Chang'an had come by appointment, so they must have had something important to say.

"Yes," Zhu Juntang admitted. Liu Chang'an, that incompetent teammate, had already revealed his intentions, so she had no choice but to get straight to the point.

Fortunately, she has now confirmed that it is Qin Yanan. As for Liu Chang'an's statement that Ye Sijin's soul could not possibly remain, she has already forgotten about it. Seeing is believing, isn't it? Even Liu Chang'an can be wrong. Even she, a fairy, often makes mistakes!

"I do have a sleepwalking problem," Qin Yanan sighed softly. "It's been happening quite often lately, hasn't it? Did I scare you last night?"

Hearing the apology in Qin Yanan's tone, Zhu Juntang felt embarrassed, "No, it's nothing. I stayed with you until dawn before leaving. Usually, if you sleepwalk once, it won't happen again that night..."

"She said you acted a lot like Ye Sijin last night, even your eyebrows and expressions were similar, and you even sang 'Rose, Rose, I Love You'," Liu Chang'an continued.

Zhu Juntang realized that Liu Chang'an really had no speaking skills at all. If everyone talked about things like him, they would never get anything done.

"No way?" Qin Yanan was taken aback, her lips slightly parted, her tongue peeking out from between her lips, then she took a deep breath and withdrew it, squinting her eyes with a somewhat uncertain look. "Because Liu Chang'an always says I look exactly like my great-grandmother, I had a cheongsam made in a style and pattern similar to my great-grandmother's photo, imitating her eyebrows and expressions, and also learning to sing some popular songs from that era... I guess that's why."

"Ah... Is that so?" Qin Yanan's reasoning perfectly explained everything, leaving Zhu Juntang both enlightened and greatly disappointed. It turned out that there really was no such thing as soul possession.

"That's possible," Liu Chang'an said, staring into Qin Yanan's eyes. "What you think about during the day, you dream about at night."

Qin Yanan simply smiled at Liu Chang'an, "Would you like me to change and show you?"

"No need." Liu Chang'an shook his head. "You are you, Ye Sijin is Ye Sijin. There's no need to imitate her. No matter how well you imitate her, you're not the same person. It will only affect you... Imitating a deceased person is unlucky. According to folk beliefs, it will make the deceased restless, sensing the world's obsession with them, and it's possible for them to return to life."

Qin Yanan trembled slightly, seemingly startled. "What you said makes me feel cold."

"Yeah, you keep switching between scientific analysis and folk superstition, whatever you say is just you!" Zhu Juntang also crossed her arms to show her fear.

"Let's not talk about that... Now that we're here, let's not rush off. I'm having a bad time here." Qin Yanan laughed again. "We should at least have lunch here. Liu Chang'an, why don't you come down the mountain with me to buy groceries?"

"I'm not going. The market is the most mundane place, it doesn't suit my temperament," Zhu Juntang said to herself.

Nobody asked you to go.

"I'm playing on the computer."

"My computer had a problem, I just formatted it..."

"I'm watching TV."

Liu Chang'an and Qin Yanan went down the mountain to buy groceries. Zhu Juntang was definitely not good at buying groceries, so asking her to go wouldn't be of much use. The important thing was that Qin Yanan felt that cooking was an art, starting with the selection of ingredients, and she wanted to go grocery shopping with Liu Chang'an.

There's nothing wrong with Liu Chang'an's different statements to Zhu Juntang and Qin Yanan; it doesn't indicate that the author's logic is flawed. Furthermore, Various Requests...
