Chapter 1301 - 1320: Looking for Someone
"Do you think she can make it out?" Xu Yi asked while drinking soy milk, his back turned to Xing Yu. After asking, he got no response, but when he turned his head, he saw Xing Yu had already hopped down from the parallel bars and sprinted to the edge of the playground to pick up the clothes thrown on the ground and headed towards the gate.
"Hey! Where are you going?" Xu Yi stomped his foot, "Can you make it out?"
Xing Yu ignored him completely and walked faster and faster, Xu Yi wanted to chase but couldn’t catch up. He didn’t know if he himself could get out through the main gate, but Jiang Nanfei definitely could.

Once Nanfei was out of the main gate, she stood at the crossroads in the early morning, glancing at the time on her wristwatch, suddenly unsure of where to go. She didn’t want to see Jiang Zhuanzhuan, nor did she want to go looking for Dad anymore.
The slap from last night had completely awakened her, making her realize that whether in her past life or this one, no matter how hard she tried, in her dad’s heart, she was always the rebellious, disappointing daughter who wasn’t trustworthy.
Compared to Zhuanzhuan, she felt like her worth as a daughter was diluted.
Nanfei couldn’t stop thinking about the past when Dad forced her to drop out of school and get married, using her dowry to pay off debt and finance Zhuanzhuan’s education. It was the same in both lives, it never changed. In fact, she always knew it deep inside, but the immense joy of rebirth subtly made her overlook it.
It was also her pride in believing she could solve the family’s crises without wanting to think deeply about the issues.
More than that, it was the cherishing what she had regained of her family, which had made her value it too much. And this cherishing, in the end, only hurt herself.
Gusts of cold wind blew by, Nanfei wrapped her clothes tighter around herself, shivering from the cold. Standing there, still unsure where to go at this time, she couldn’t help thinking of Bei Jiang, who, if he had been there, would surely have found a way to cheer her up.
