Jiang Yin snapped back to reality. He looked at Ye Ling's back with excitement. He wanted to hurry up and follow, but his legs were weak and he almost fell before he could take a step. Ye Jingyan helped him into the car.

On the bus.

Ye Ling and Jiang Yin sat in the back seat, Ye Jingyan sat in the passenger seat, and Ye Boxuan sat in the driver's seat.

Jiang Yin looked at Ye Ling and opened her mouth, but couldn't make a sound because she was too excited.

He gripped the hem of his clothes tightly with both hands to try to calm himself down, but his body was trembling uncontrollably with excitement.

Ye Ling saw his reaction, but she remained calm.

Seeing that his emotions were fluctuating greatly, she took the initiative to speak: "Judging from your reaction, your uncle told you about my Qi family before he passed away."

Jiang Yin nodded vigorously.

Ye Ling pursed her lips and asked him, "Before your uncle passed away, did he say anything else? Knowing that it was very dangerous for you in China, why did he still agree to let you study in China?"

Jiang Yin tried to calm herself down and looked at Ye Jingyan and Ye Boxuan. Ye Ling said, "They are my family. If it weren't for them, I would have died long ago."

Jiang Yin was slightly taken aback, then thanked Ye Jingyan and Ye Boxuan: "Thank you for taking care of my sister for us."

Ye Jingyan looked at him and said in a deep voice, "We are taking care of her voluntarily, and we don't need anyone to thank us."

Jiang Yin shook his head: "It's different, I should thank you. You are the benefactors of both the Jiang and Qi families. Even if you don't need to thank me, I will remember your kindness."

Then he said to Ye Ling, "My father told me before he died that you might still be alive. He said that when the accident happened, someone secretly helped the Qi family, so he never believed that you were gone."

My decision to return to China to study was also my father's idea. He said the most dangerous place is the safest place. Besides, since we changed our names and didn't pose any threat to them, they wouldn't pay attention to a mixed-race child.

Because of my good grades, I was specially admitted to this school at the age of 15. So I returned to China at 15, and have been secretly looking for you for the past few years. But China is too big; it's like searching for a needle in a haystack. I don't know where to begin.

Ye Ling nodded slightly, her eyes lowered, lost in thought.

Ye Jingyan asked Ye Ling, "Lingling, how did you figure out he might be your cousin?"

Ye Ling looked up at him: "Maybe it's because of our bloodline, but I felt a sense of kinship with him the moment I saw him. Then he told me that his surname was Jiang and his given name was Yin, and he wouldn't tell me who his ancestors were, so I knew he was my cousin."

Jiang Yin, also known as Jiang Yin, pressed on: "Since you started to suspect that I was your cousin back then, why didn't you even look at me afterward?"

What if I don't catch up this time, and we just miss our chance? Will you not want me anymore?

Ye Ling: "...Didn't you chase after me? Go back and pack your things, then come with me."

Jiang Yin nodded: "Okay, then you wait for me."

Ye Ling said to her elder brother, "Let Ye Tu and Ye Zhu go and help. We'll wait for them here."

After Jiang Yin left, Ye Boxuan turned to Ye Ling and asked, "Are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?"

Ye Ling chuckled softly, "Please don't doubt my perception and judgment. It's just..."

Ye Boxuan: "Just what?"

Ye Ling looked at the two of them, her tone serious: "I only found out before I left the space that my uncle and aunt might still be alive, so I came out for some fresh air and ended up at the school where he is."

And then, just like that, I met him. It all happened so smoothly, so smoothly, that I started to suspect someone was watching me from the shadows.

Ye Jingyan lowered his eyes in thought, and Ye Boxuan nodded slightly: "It is indeed abnormally smooth. You know, there are quite a few universities and high schools around here."

But who has such capabilities? What is their objective? And how did they anticipate our arrival?

Ye Ling rubbed her temples, somewhat irritated: "I don't know. I hope I'm overthinking it, but obviously I'm not."
