Before going to bed that night, Luan Qing Xiao used Nie Zhen'er's trust value for the lottery draws. After three attempts, only one card, [Time Accelerator], was drawn.



Luan Qing Xiao said in her heart: I only wish I had more time to stay with Zhen'er. There’s no  need for this [Time Accelerator] at all.



Early the next morning, the group hauled their packed luggage and prepared to return to their home.



Wen Mu has been unable to lift up his energy because of what happened last night. The bottom of his eyes were blue, it was obvious he didn't sleep well. Mu Si greeted him, but he also ignored her.



He still held a grudge towards Mu Si for exposing him in front of the camera.



They rode on the tractor out of the village, jostled up and down for more than an hour, then transferred to a bus before finally reaching the high-speed rail station two hours later.



In just a few more minutes, the high-speed rail that the three parents and Nie Fan took would arrive at the station.



As the time approached, Nie Zhen'er’s feelings were a little pent up. Her fingers twisted together, whitening because of the excess strength.



Luan Qing Xiao separated her hands to hold it gently and silently accompanied her.



Three minutes later, the high-speed rail entered the station.



Nie Zhen'er widened her almond eyes and searched for Nie Fan’s figure in the crowd.



"Xiao Fan!" Nie Zhen'er took two steps forward and was hugged by Nie Fan who rushed at her.



Nie Fan is twelve years old this year and is still a little girl. The clothes she wore were all famous brands, which probably was bought for her by her exchange family.



"Sister, I never want to go to a big city ever again. I will go back to Luo Zhuang Village, that’s where my home is." Nie Fan said aggrievedly.



Nie Zhen'er patted her on the back and comforted, "Okay, Sister won't force you to go back."



Behind Nie Fan were the other three’s families. As soon as Mu Si saw her parents, she immediately ran over with reddened eyes. She hadn't seen them for 30 days, how could she not miss home?



Wen Mu's mother saw that Wen Mu wasn’t in a good condition, so she hurried over to take his hand and asked carefully.



On the other hand, Wen Qi snorted coldly as he didn’t live up to his expectations. Nonetheless, he took the camera into consideration and didn't say anything excessive.



Luan Qing Xiao's mother, Ling Ya, is indeed worthy of being the ageless goddess of the entertainment industry. With her appearance, she attracted the majority of people to turn their heads and look back. Several of the cameramen tacitly turned their camera to her and brought the serious Luan Ze beside her into the shot as well.



"Dad, Mom." When Luan Qing Xiao walked up to the two of them with a little less recklessness and more modesty on her face, Ling Ya felt both distressed and proud.



"Baby, you must have suffered a lot. Quickly let Mom and Dad hug you."



Luan Ze was pulled into this embrace by Ling Ya and shared it with Luan Qing Xiao equally. His ear couldn't help but flush red as he coughed uncomfortably, "The director told your mother that you have performed well this month."



Luan Qing Xiao arched her eyebrows and smiled, her delicate eyebrows gleaming, "Duh, just look at whose daughter I am."



"By the way, Mom and Dad, I have something to tell you."



Luan Qing Xiao first glanced at Nie Zhen'er uneasy, then took Luan Ze and Ling Ya to a quiet place and told them her thoughts, "Zhen'er is very good at learning and also is really motivated, but the learning environment in Zhuang Zhen Middle School is too subpar. Mom Dad, can you finance for Zhen’er’s schooling in B City?"



Right now, no matter how Luan Ze viewed Luan Qing Xiao, she looked pleasing to his eyes. He was about to open his mouth to agree when Ling Ya stopped.



Ling Ya said, "I’ll discuss this with your dad after we’ve seen this Zhen’er you described."



She has been in the big dyeing tank of the entertainment industry for more than 20 years and met all kinds of people.



She understands her daughter; her personality isn’t the type that makes friends with others easily. However, Luan Qing Xiao was now trying her best to say good things about Nie Zhen’er to them, this fact alone was abnormal.



Yesterday Luan Qing Xiao was too focused on comforting Nie Zhen'er that she forgot to mention this to her. Only when Ling Ya said that did it occur to her, "Mom, I haven't had the time to tell her."



"Since you didn’t have the time to tell her, that’s all the more reason to meet her first. What if she doesn't want to come to school in B City?"



Luan Qing Xiao knew from Ling Ya's point of view, what she said made sense.



It is impossible for others to be the same as her, knowing that Nie Zhen'er is going to be her future girlfriend and even wife. Therefore, she could only walk up to the two sisters.



Nie Fan's mood has calmed down a lot under Nie Zhen’er's comforting, but she still feels extremely insecure and held onto Nie Zhen'er's hand.



When Luan Qing Xiao came over, Nie Zhen'er glanced at her. Her almond eyes silently voiced her confusion.



"My parents want to meet you." Luan Qing Xiao stated.



"But I have something to tell you beforehand."



"En, go ahead." Nie Zhen'er said.



"Zhen'er, would... … you like to come to school in B City?"



"Go to B City? Why would you suddenly ask like that?" Nie Zhen'er asked in surprise.



"Your studies are very good. It's just a pity that you’re stuck at Luo Zhuang Town Middle School. I want my parents to finance you to come to B City. Would you like that?"



Nie Fan nervously grabbed Nie Zhen'er's hand, "Sister, don't go, the school there isn’t good at all. They’ll keep mocking and teasing you."



Nie Zhen'er's expression changed, "They bullied you?"



Nie Fan only continued, "Anyway, don't go. It really isn’t good there."



"Okay, I won't go to school there. Xiao Fan, don't worry."



Nie Zhen'er raised her head and smiled at Luan Qing Xiao, "It’s best I don’t go, please pass on my greetings to Uncle and Auntie."



Nie Zhen'er had just observed Luan Qing Xiao’s parents’ expressions from a distance. Ling Ya, who seemed gentle at first, was displeased after something Luan Qing Xiao said to her. Adding on what Luan Qing Xiao said to her right now, Nie Zhen’er immediately understood Ling Ya regarded her as a scheming girl that wants to cling to the thighs of the elites.



Of course, she was scheming. She knew that if she wanted to be opening with Luan Qing Xiao in the future, she can’t be seen through by Ling Ya and leave behind a bad impression on her, let alone owing the Luan family.



Nie Zhen'er's original plan was to be funded by one of them to go to school in B City, but after the conversation with Luan Qing Xiao at the wall last night, Nie Zhen'er suddenly changed her mind.



She has to choose another path, a path that allows her to become a real Phoenix in the future. Although this road is difficult, by then, she and Luan Qing Xiao will be a pair of Phoenixes together instead of her being a sparrow flying up on the branch to become a Phoenix.



"Zhen'er." Luan Qing Xiao still wanted to persuade her.



Nie Zhen'er smiled, "I haven't had time to tell you something as well. A brokerage company contacted me a few days ago and wanted to sign a contract with me to train me as a star. I borrowed Sister Liu's mobile phone and checked that broker company and also asked the director. That agency is one of the best in the industry so signing a contract with them won’t be a mistake."



"You’re not going to school?" Luan Qing Xiao asked.



"I’ll train while going to school, though not in B City but H City." When Nie Zhen'er smiled, her almond eyes filled with stars, "When I become a big star, you’ll be able to see me when you turn on the TV."



【Host dada, I think there’s a use for [Time Accelerator]. 】



Luan Qing Xiao: … …I don't want to.



"Then remember my phone number. When you buy a mobile phone, add me on WeChat. No, I’ll buy you a phone right now."



"Qing Xiao, don't go, there are no phone stores here. When I get to H City, the company will give me a phone. I assure you that I will remember your phone number until then."



When Luan Qing Xiao returned to her parents, Luan Ze asked, "Why didn't that little girl named Zhen'er come with you?"



Luan Qing Xiao replied, "She said she doesn't need financing."



Hearing this, Ling Ya became thoughtful, "She’s a girl with a backbone."



The three families and the Nie sisters had a meal together before they parted ways and went back to their own homes.



In the evening when she returned home, Luan Qing Xiao received a call from Nie Zhen'er. Nie Zhen'er said in a happy brisk voice, "Qing Xiao, the company said I need to train for five years. Five years later, I’ll make my official debut. Wait for me."



"I’ll wait for you."
