In An Xiaonuan's hand was exactly the information about her close friend that Ye Jiu had mentioned.

But the person described in this introduction, she really didn't think about it at all.

"Li Xiaoyin?" An Xiaonuan still remembered what Li Xiaoyin looked like when they had coffee together before. She didn't seem like a management student at all.

An Xiaonuan had no impression of Li Xiaoyin from before, but she knew the current Li Xiaoyin very well.

When they first met, she was heavily made up and arguing with her family.

Upon their second meeting, she had a pale and haggard look, appearing as if she hadn't slept in three days and three nights.

The third time we met, which was the last time at the coffee shop.

At that time, Li Xiaoyin probably recovered from her heartbreak. She looked much more spirited and her makeup was much fresher.

Only An Xiaonuan hadn't expected she would come here for an interview.

"My lady, this man..." Ye Jiu looked at his lady's expression. It didn't seem like she was any happier. Had he guessed wrong?

An Xiaonuan came back to her senses and said, “It’s fine, just follow the normal procedure.”

If she really had the ability, An Xiaonuan wouldn't hold onto those past events and prevent her from moving on.

If she truly can't do it, An Xiaonuan wouldn't treat her any better just because she is her classmate.

It doesn't matter what kind of thoughts and attitude she brought to this interview. What matters is that An Xiaonuan won't change her principles because of her arrival.

At nine o'clock, he nodded to indicate that he understood.

After they prepared themselves, they went into the interview room.

As An Xiaonuan walked outside, she immediately spotted Li Xiaoyin standing out from the crowd at a glance.

It wasn't because she did anything strange, but rather because she stood out in terms of both her height and appearance. Even her clothes were more eye-catching than those around her.

An Xiaonuan looked up and saw that she was looking back at her.

Their eyes met, and An Xiaonuan knew Li Xiaoyin wasn't here to play around.

There was no joking in her eyes, and she didn't seem to want to make small talk when she came over.

Now, she was rather looking forward to Xiaoyin's performance.

After all, her academic credentials are truly outstanding.

An Xiaonuan was interviewing someone for the first time, so when the other person got nervous, she felt nervous too.

One interview after another, after she had finally calmed down, Li Xiaoyin walked in.

An Xiaonuan looked up to see Li Xiaoyin pushing the door in, and then she saw Li Xiaoyin with a composed face.

She felt that Li Xiaoyin seemed different from the last time she saw her.

This time, she spoke eloquently and performed exceptionally well, stunning Ye Jiǔ and the HR personnel to the point that they wanted to sign her immediately.

After the interview, An Xiaonuan walked to the office with Ye Jiu.

As she passed the resting room, she saw Li Xiaoyin sitting inside waving at her.

An Xiaonuan said to Ye Jiu, "You go back first, I'll chat with them for a bit."

At nine o'clock that night, Ye Jiu nodded: "Good, madam." Then he took the documents and entered the elevator.

"Would you like to have lunch together, Mr. An?" Li Xiaoyin stood up and greeted An Xiaonuan.

An Xiaonuan also had some questions she wanted to ask her, so she nodded and said, "Okay!"

The restaurant was An Xiaonuan's choice. It's a Chinese restaurant not far from mn.

After they had finished ordering, An Xiaonuan asked the question she had been wanting to ask: "How did you suddenly come to our company to apply for a job?"

She remembered that Li Xiaoyin's family also had a small company.

"People go uphill, water flows downhill, of course I have to go uphill!" Li Xiaoyin said.

She wasn't exaggerating at all, An Xiaonuan felt like she might not be lying.

After taking a sip of water to moisten his throat, he sighed, "I never would have guessed you studied management."

After all, seeing her like that before, An Xiaonuan thought she was studying art. She quickly explained: "That is, I just feel like you don't seem to be majoring in this... No, no, it feels like this major isn't quite suitable for you... It's not..."

"Pfft." Li Xiaoyin couldn't help but laugh at her reaction.

Before anyone else could speak, she was already explaining herself.

How come she never noticed before, An Xiaonuan was so cute.

An Xiaonuan looked at her with a strange sense of wonder.

How come she doesn't seem to care about this?

And wasn't she just hilarious a moment ago?

Li Xiaoyun just smiled, then said: "It's okay, I know what you want to say."

Just then, the waiter came over with the dishes. After thanking the waiter, Li Xiaoyin continued to talk to An Xiaonuan: “Actually, my father originally wanted me to inherit our family’s small company, but two years ago my younger brother was born, so my management major isn’t very useful anymore.”

One can't always stay at the bottom, hoping An will give me a chance!

After finishing her words, she raised the teacup in her hand, gestured to An Xiaonuan, and then took a sip.

He was completely composed and collected in the office, barely glancing at An Xiaonuan. But now, he acts like they've been friends for years.

An Xiaonuan smiled and said, "You earned this yourself. It wasn't given to you by me."

After the interview was over, An Xiaonuan's schedule was empty again.

Just then, Ye Ranxi's phone call also came through.

"Sister-in-law, are you busy?" Ye Ranxi's voice sounded cheerful over there.

"Just finished working, now watching a show, what's up?" An Xiaonuan paused the program on her computer and asked.

"Would you like to go hiking with me, sis-in-law?" Ye Ranxi asked excitedly.

"Climbing a mountain?" An Xiaonuan felt like she was hearing things.

That little cousin who only wants to go shopping every day actually said she's going to climb a mountain?

"Are you talking about taking a car to go sightseeing?" That would make sense.

However, Ye Ranxi disagreed. "If you drive up there, it wouldn't be called hiking anymore, would it? It would just be driving!"

An Xiaonuan didn't directly say whether she wanted to go or not, she just asked: "Why do you suddenly want to go hiking?"

Talking about this, Ye Ranxi was like she had eaten something that got her excited. She was so enthusiastic that even over the phone, you could feel her excitement and anticipation.

"I recently saw a list online called “100 Things Couples Must Do,” and I realized that Night One and I hadn’t done any of them. So, I thought, why not give it a try? If other people can do it, I should too. Otherwise, wouldn't life be a bit regretful?"

"But that's something couples do, you guys are already married, and we've been together for years now." An Xiaonuan persuaded helplessly.

Ran Xi's personality is truly consistent. Whatever she thinks of, she acts on it immediately.

He is completely different from his uncle, like heaven and earth. There's no similarity between them at all.

Yet Ye Ranxi confidently declared, "Marriage is a legal recognition of our love, but it doesn't mean we no longer have love. As long as there's love, we are still a couple, whether or not we're married."

And besides, your brother's sister-in-law definitely wouldn't be lying on the lawn with my brother, stargazing, or sitting on a mountaintop watching the sunrise. Don't you think that kind of scene would be super romantic?

An Xiaonuan pursed her lips.

She doesn't seem to have done these things with the old man.

This is irrefutable.

But...

"How come you thought to invite us? Shouldn't this be just the two of you?"

"Actually, I really wanted to watch the stars with my brother too," Ye Ranxi's voice lowered slightly, "But he's always so busy."

When he was little, he wasn't around much. Even when he came home, he would only say a few words before leaving again, or just lie down to rest. As we grew up, he got even busier, and we were all adults now. I felt like some things I wanted to say would sound too sentimental, so...

Ye Ranxi's heart most respected and relied on was not her mother, but the older brother who had always protected her from a young age.

This time, when she looked at the form, she realized that it wasn't just Night One; she hadn't even seen the stars and the sunrise with her own brother.

An Xiaonuan was stunned for a moment, then said: "Okay, I promise you, let's go hiking."

She understands this regret.

Actually, many people think that when you grow up, you should give up the naive ideas from your childhood, give up what you haven't gotten, and give up what you want.

They categorize this type of behavior as mature.

But in reality, no matter how small the wish, no matter how long ago it was made, that wish is like a star. Perhaps it dims, perhaps it's occasionally overlooked.

But it will forever shine, forever sharp-edged, aching your heart whenever you happen to remember.

If wishes could come true, why not make them happen?

Isn't it just growing up?
