Granny Zhang noticed it was getting late and said to the neighbors helping make quilts, "Ladies, it’s getting late, let’s call it a day for now. We can continue in the afternoon; we mustn’t let it affect your lunch preparations for your families."

The neighbors helping with the quilts all laughed and said, "Alright, let’s continue in the afternoon then."

One of them looked at Xinyan and He Jinxuan with a smile and asked, "Old Sister, who are this lovely young lady and handsome young man to you?"

Granny Zhang introduced them, beaming with pride, "This is my grand-niece Han Xinyan and her husband He Jinxuan."

The speaker smiled and looked at the couple, "Oh, they’re a couple, and such a perfect match."

Although they were talking, they didn’t stop working, finishing off the thread in their hands before putting away the needles. "Okay, we’re leaving now. You should hurry up and make lunch for the two kids."

As they stood up and saw the items on the motorcycle, they said enviously, "Granny, you’re really lucky. Your grand-niece and her husband are so filial."

Granny Zhang replied proudly, "Indeed, my Yanyan is the most filial, just too busy usually to visit often."

One lady stopped at the gate and asked, "What’s your grand-niece doing?"

Her question made the others stop and listen intently.

Granny Zhang’s face beamed with pride, "My Yanyan studies at Jing University, and she’s really great at it."

They got curious and weren’t in a hurry to leave anymore, gossiping, "The Qu family’s youngest son in our yard also seems to study at Jing University."

Someone chimed in, "Then they must be schoolmates."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the ladies left.

Coincidentally, when they reached the intersection, they ran into the Qu family’s youngest son, so one of them stopped him, "Qu, where have you been?"

"Aunt Hu, I just went to take out the trash."

"We were just talking about you."

Qu Wenjun was puzzled and asked, "What were you saying about me?"

"Your Granny Zhang’s pretty grand-niece is here, and I heard she also studies at Jing University; you’re schoolmates."

"She’s my schoolmate. I’ll have to check it out; maybe I know her."

As they were chatting, Xinyan and He Jinxuan came out of the courtyard and headed this way.

Someone turned their head upon hearing the noise, "Hey, they’re coming out. Do you recognize them?"

As they walked closer, Qu Wenjun recognized them and scratched his head, "You know what, I actually know her, but she definitely doesn’t know me."

The ladies didn’t quite understand; isn’t knowing each other mutual?

How come Qu knows her, but she doesn’t know him?

Qu Wenjun laughed, "Turns out she’s Granny Zhang’s grand-niece. You wouldn’t believe how amazing she is; she’s a top student and a role model for all of us at school."

His words made the ladies’ eyes sparkle with interest.

But before Qu Wenjun could respond, Xinyan had already walked over.

He was quite straightforward, "Hi, Senior, I’m Qu Wenjun, a freshman this year. I saw you at the opening ceremony in the auditorium."

Xinyan smiled at him, "Hello, Qu."

The ladies looked at Xinyan coming out, "Miss, why are you coming out?"

Xinyan smiled slightly, "I’m craving Granny Zhang’s tofu stuffed dish and want to buy some tofu from the consignment shop."

The ladies were very enthusiastic, "Come on, come on, we’ll show you the way."

Although Xinyan knew where the shop was, she didn’t refuse, "Thank you very much, ladies."

As she walked out, she didn’t forget to greet the freshman, "Goodbye, Qu."

Qu Wenjun was a bit excited, "Goodbye."

As he watched Xinyan walk away, he ran into his house with excitement, "Mom, Mom, guess what? The student I admired, who’s a year ahead of me, is actually a relative of Granny Zhang’s."

Qu’s mother teased him, seeing his excitement, "Look how excited you are. If I didn’t know you admired her, I would’ve thought you had a crush on her."

Qu Wenjun was surprised by his mom’s words, "Mom, don’t say that, it can cause misunderstandings if people hear."

He then animatedly told her all about Xinyan’s achievements at school, "Mom, isn’t she impressive?"

Qu’s mother couldn’t quite believe it, "Wow, how smart must she be to be so outstanding?"

Thus, just within the afternoon, Xinyan became quite famous in the railway residential area.

Yet the main person involved didn’t realize it.

At noon, Zhang Yueshan had lunch at the office, while Xinyan and He Jinxuan had lunch with Granny Zhang before heading to Senior Gu’s place.

When Shen Guqing saw her, she was all excited, "Yanyan, how come you have time to visit today?"
