Chapter 462: Chapter 462: Abandoned in Two Lives

Back home, Yue Qingqing flipped open her homework book, feeling restless.

Li Ruyun, Li Ruyu.

Her younger brother and sister.

From their very aura, it was destined that there would be no bonds of kinship between them.

Yet Yue Qingqing felt a dull ache in her heart.

In her past life, she had no memories of her biological parents.

Only her senior brother and their master.

Her master had told her she was found tossed by the roadside during the frigid winter days, her cries so faint that even a cultivator could barely hear them.

Every household had its doors tightly shut, and there she was, alone in the snow.

In the swaddle, there was no name, no date of birth, no longevity lock or any other marker to help her find her biological parents.

Nothing but stark emptiness, stark cleanliness.

This signified her family’s complete abandonment of her, not even willing to leave a thought for this infant to be found again.

Because most people in the village were surnamed Yue, Yue Qingqing eventually managed to have a surname of her own.

When she was very young, Qingqing also asked why everyone else had parents and she only had her senior brother.

The eldest senior brother said, "Humans are born of nature, and nurtured by the earth; why concern yourself with your origins?"

The second senior brother said, "Oh my, is our Qingqing feeling peckish? How about I earn some money and buy you a candied hawthorn stick?"

The third senior brother didn’t like to speak much; he would take her by the hand and lead her back to the room, wiping the tears off her face.

The youngest senior brother would babble on, pulling her this way and that with his words until Yue Qingqing had forgotten her initial emotions.

And then she’d watch as the youngest senior brother was chased out of the room by the other senior brothers.

In this life, she was abandoned at birth once again.

This time, there was no illness or disaster, only her gender.

Yue Qingqing lay her head on the desk, unconsciously biting her lip as emotions churned in her chest—all the scenes she had witnessed that day.

Ruyun, Ruyu.

Such pleasant names, their pampered demeanor made it evident how much they were doted on by the family.

In this life, at the time of her own birth, what were these people thinking?

Just then, there was a knock on the bedroom door.

"Qingqing?" It was her aunt’s voice.

Yue Qingqing responded, and Yue Xiaofang came in carrying a fruit platter.

"Fruit from the south, it’s very sweet." Yue Xiaofang skewered a piece with a toothpick, "Open your mouth."

Still immersed in her thoughts, Yue Qingqing opened her mouth instinctively and took a bite.

The sweet and soft taste spread slowly through her mouth and reached her heart.

Yue Qingqing blinked, her eyes inexplicably turning red.

Yue Xiaofang noticed something was off with her niece and put down the fruit platter to stroke Yue Qingqing’s head.

"What’s wrong? Encountered something unhappy at school?"

Yue Qingqing shook her head, and Yue Xiaofang glanced at the homework on the desk.

"Is it that the coursework has gotten more difficult? Don’t worry, don’t put so much pressure on yourself, you’re still young and shouldn’t spend all your time studying, you should play when it’s time to play."

Yue Qingqing replied, "Okay, I will play after I finish my homework."

Yue Xiaofang hesitated before leaving, and later that night, she told her eldest brother about the situation.

"Isn’t today the start of school? I feel like Qingqing seems a little unhappy."

By dinner time, Yue Qingqing discovered that the table was filled with her favorite dishes.

Yue Xingxing offered food to her sister, "The fish is delicious, grandma coated it with egg yolk and fried it until it’s super crispy."

Yue Xiaohu wasn’t to be outdone and also served her a piece of rib.

Zhang Ying dished out rice for her daughter, pressing down with the scoop and adding a bit more.

"It’s tough going to school, don’t starve."

The family looked at her with beaming smiles, and the emotion pressing on Yue Qingqing’s heart dissipated in an instant.

Sitting down, she devoured her meal and mumbled, "Delicious!"

Yue Jiandong immediately broke into a laugh; he knew it, with Qingqing, there wasn’t a single issue that couldn’t be resolved with a meal.

If one meal didn’t do the trick, then there would be a second one, and if all else failed, let that Jiang boy worry about it!
