Qin Yanan is a normal girl. She thinks about things realistically and doesn't have many unrealistic fantasies. Little girls are really enviable. Qin Yanan sighed softly. If she were only as old as Zhu Juntang, she would definitely accompany her in her boundless and unrestrained fantasies.

Qin Yanan knew that Ye Chenyu and Liu Chang'an had been to Taiwan together. If Liu Chang'an was Ye Chenyu, how could he still be staying peacefully in Junsha? Although Qin Yanan didn't know what happened at the Zhu Family that day, all the signs indicated that it was definitely not Liu Chang'an who went to see Old Madam Su.

Qin Yanan didn't plan to tell Zhu Juntang about this, but simply stated a very simple point. "If Liu Chang'an were Senior Ye, why would he be dating an eighteen-year-old girl? Why would he be interested in going to high school?"

Zhu Juntang was taken aback; she hadn't considered this question before.

"He... he looks so young, maybe he still has those desires," Zhu Juntang said uncertainly.

"Liu Chang'an lived in the place he lives now when he was in junior high school. He was sixteen when he entered high school, and the photo in his file shows him looking noticeably younger and more immature than he does now. If he were the Longevity Elder Ye you mentioned, would he look like this?"

Zhu Juntang thought about it carefully. If Liu Chang'an were Ye Chenyu, why would he go to school? This is crucial. Why would someone over a hundred years old do something so boring and a waste of time?

Yes, Liu Chang'an acted very convincingly in every other aspect, just like a man over a hundred years old, but he couldn't skip school!

Even I, by September, will be studying here, and so will Liu Chang'an. The traditional custom of the China people, and the one thing that cannot be negotiated, is that they must go to school!

If Liu Chang'an really is Ye Chenyu, why would he bother going to school and dating a pretty girl in high school? Does that seem like the mentality of an elder? That would be incredibly immature.

By the way, he also touched Zhong Qing. Is that something an elder would do? Although some old men are indeed wicked and lecherous, who is Ye Chenyu? Could someone whom Qin Peng and Su Mei have their eyes on be that kind of guy?

Zhu Juntang was indignant, feeling that she had been deceived by Liu Chang'an. From the first time they met, he had no intention of telling Zhu Juntang the truth, and had just made up a bunch of nonsense.

Thinking about it carefully, the only time I've witnessed his superpowers is when he jumped off a building. What's the secret behind it? Could it be some kind of magic trick?

Doubt is like a crack in glass; if left unrepaired, it will spread and shatter. Zhu Juntang firmly believes that she witnessed Liu Chang'an jumping off the building, but what if such a shocking scene was a magic trick? After all, the performances of many great magicians are probably even more incredible!

Aside from being good at fighting, Liu Chang'an has never been seen to have any other superpowers!

By the way, if he really had superpowers and could jump off buildings and not die, why did he refuse to jump off buildings again afterward? Because that's how magic shows are. Small magic tricks are fine, but large-scale, complex magic tricks are impossible to perform without meticulous preparation! If you're performing anytime, anywhere, revealing a flaw is a minor issue; the real danger could be your life.

This is probably why Liu Chang'an refused to perform again under any circumstances.

Zhu Juntang was immediately dejected, feeling that this colorful world had become extremely boring again. It was one thing that Qin Yanan was not Ye Sijin, but even Liu Chang'an was a big liar!

"What's wrong with you? You haven't actually believed this all along, have you?" Qin Yanan looked at Zhu Juntang's expression and knew exactly what was on her mind. She couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time. "You're not a child anymore. When I performed magic tricks for you when you were little, you always tried to expose me. How come you're starting to believe in all this nonsense more and more now?"

"Ah!"

Zhu Juntang splashed water and shouted as she climbed out of the swimming pool, ripped off her towel, and angrily lay motionless on the poolside lounge chair.

He was the one who guided Qin Yanan, so how did he end up being swayed by her words? Even if he now suspects Liu Chang'an's performance that day was magic, why would he go there to perform magic? He's crazy! Yes, Liu Chang'an is crazy... But how did he even get up there?

Zhu Juntang wavered between belief and doubt, her mind becoming increasingly chaotic, and she felt like she was going crazy.

"I need to go to Xiangtan University on some business. Do you want to come along?"

Zhu Juntang nodded lazily.

"Liu Chang'an is still pretty good at fighting, huh?"

Qin Yanan and Zhu Juntang left the president's office of Xiangtan University. Zhu Juntang was distracted by the conversation in the office. As soon as they left, he continued to talk to Qin Yanan about Liu Chang'an.

"Yes, he's definitely a genius in this area." Qin Yanan nodded. "It's said to be a family secret technique. My great-grandfather also practiced it. It can give you a lot of advantages in hand-to-hand combat, but of course, it's not very useful in battle... I've also learned a little bit, enough for self-defense."

"When he fights, does he emit smoke from his body, pause in mid-air, have his palms burst into flames, or possess superhuman strength?"

"Shall I recommend a fantasy novel to you?"

Zhu Juntang was sullen. That's how people are. Once they start to doubt something they firmly believe in, that doubt will sprout like a seed, breaking through the hard soil and rocks, tearing apart the originally solid barriers and shell little by little.

"I'm going to find Liu Chang'an." Zhu Juntang turned to leave.

She turned around and saw two beautiful women. Her mood was already low, and now she was even more indignant. Why were there only two buildings in Baolong Center? The name of Building No. 3 had already been reserved for this woman she didn't know!

"We meet again," Liu Yuewang said to Qin Yanan with a smile.

The campus of Xiangtan University is shaded by green trees. The trees in the old campus are often decades old. Some of them are 20 or 30 meters tall, or even 30 or 40 meters tall. They block out the sun and the earliest school buildings and teaching buildings are under their canopies. Here, it is like the old times slowly unfolding. No matter how much fresh blood and vitality flow in, it cannot wash away the charm left by history.

Liu Yuewang often took walks here with An Nuan. In Liu Yuewang's words, the place where one walks also affects one's temperament. A woman who often strolls around the streets and shopping centers to relax has a completely different temperament from a woman who often walks on the campus of Xiangtan University.

An Nuan was wearing flat sneakers, while Liu Yuewang was wearing high heels. The mother and daughter were not much different in height, otherwise Liu Yuewang would not have been able to wear An Nuan's cheongsam. An Nuan stood in the shade of the trees where the light and shadow intertwined, as if her body was also covered with these beautiful glows. Her skin was as good as jade, as tender as scallions, and as good as ivory. She was very beautiful.

If it were her... if it were her, Zhu Juntang would take a selfie and hang it in her room.

"What do you want with Liu Chang'an?" An Nuan asked with a smile after hearing Zhu Juntang's words.

"What right do you have to ask me?" Zhu Juntang glared at An Nuan without saying a word.

"Liu Chang'an knows magic tricks, I want to see him perform them." Qin Yanan came to the rescue, while sizing up An Nuan and Liu Yuewang. This mother and daughter were no less impressive than Zhu Juntang and the Third Mistress.

"He can also perform magic?" Liu Yuewang frowned slightly, took out her phone, and was about to ask someone if all men who can perform magic like to lie, but then she thought it wasn't the right time and gave up.

"What's your relationship to An Nuan?" Zhu Juntang wasn't sure if Liu Yuewang was An Nuan's older sister or mother. Most people would naturally assume Liu Yuewang was the older sister, but Zhu Juntang wouldn't, because it was too common for a mother to be mistaken for an older sister.

"I'm her mother. You know An Nuan too?" Liu Yuewang looked somewhat surprised. "You all know Liu Chang'an, right?"

"All the women Liu Chang'an knows are stunning beauties," Liu Yuewang with some concern, looking at her calm daughter beside her. "This silly girl, what's with the act of being so composed?"
