Pei Shanshan is just seventeen, right in the prime of her youth.

At this age, Pei Shanshan exudes an aura of youthful vitality.

Because of her attention to skincare and fashionable dress, she stands out in a crowd.

Back in Jiangding County, Pei Shanshan mostly made snacks in the courtyard, occasionally helping out front.

Besides, the entire Pei Family was there, and people in the small town weren’t that bold, so no one really approached her.

But now that she’s in Beishi, things are different.

She gets approached, and it’s inevitable that Pei Shanshan would be approached too.

If not today, then it’s just a matter of time.

The next day, during the day, Jiang Ran took some time to talk to Pei Shanshan about this.

"Shanshan, if someone approaches you and you find them alright, chatting a bit is fine. But if you don’t like them or they make you uncomfortable, just refuse directly. If anyone keeps bothering you, tell Pei Yang or me."

Upon hearing this, Pei Shanshan’s expression turned a bit conflicted.

"Sister-in-law, how about I disguise myself?"

Jiang Ran, for a moment, didn’t understand what Pei Shanshan meant, "Disguise how?"

Pei Shanshan smiled sheepishly before saying, "Like changing into darker clothes, my hair..."

Jiang Ran shook her head directly, interrupting Pei Shanshan.

"Shanshan, you shouldn’t have such thoughts."

Pei Shanshan probably didn’t expect Jiang Ran to say this and looked at her in surprise, "Huh? Why?"

"Whatever hairstyle you have, whatever clothes you wear, are not reasons for you to be disturbed by others."

Pei Shanshan seemed to somewhat understand this.

But Jiang Ran didn’t need her to fully understand right now; as long as she heard and grasped this point without any other thoughts, that was enough.

Once classes started, their days became extremely routine.

They attended night classes at the night school, and were busy during the day too.

During the day, Pei Yang and Pei Shanshan stayed home reading. If they didn’t understand something, they could ask Jiang Ran or wait to ask the teacher in the evening.

As for Jiang Ran, she didn’t read but was making ointments.

Her mind contained countless ideas, allowing her to make various ointments.

She hadn’t had the opportunity or time before, so it wasn’t on the agenda.

But now it’s different, now she has the time, opportunity, and space to do whatever she wants without being disturbed.

Jiang Ran enjoyed this feeling, being able to focus on her projects alone.

It even gave her an illusion, as if she was living in her past life.

However, once she snapped out of her work, Jiang Ran would clearly realize it was an illusion.

After all, in her past life, no one would be calling her "mommy" in a soft voice, asking for a hug.

Pei Jing came back from school, so Jiang Ran stopped working and carried Pei Jing to the main courtyard.

As they walked, she asked.

"Little Jing, did you have fun at kindergarten?"

As she asked, Jiang Ran couldn’t help but smile.

Ever since Pei Jing started kindergarten, this question seemed to become a routine. Every time Pei Jing came back from school, she would ask.

Fortunately, Pei Jing never seemed to get tired of it.

On the contrary, Pei Jing eagerly wanted to share his kindergarten experiences and was excited to talk when Jiang Ran asked.
