Online dating backfired? A wealthy heir begged me to continue lying to him.

Grandma inspected the medicinal herbs in the field, then took Su Ruan to the crossroads in the town center to buy some eggs and vegetables before pulling Su Ruan home.

"You're staying at home today, right?" Grandma asked.

Su Ruan nodded, "I'll leave tomorrow morning."

Grandma beamed from ear to ear, "That's good! That's good!"

Back home, Grandma washed some more apples. "Here, eat!"

"Thank you, Grandma!"

Su Ruan picked one up and took a bite.

This taste is so tangy and refreshing!

Grandma also picked one up and started eating.

"Speaking of which, it's been three years since you last ate apples with Grandma."

Su Ruan paused.

Three years... and then another three years.

Did the original owner also like to eat apples three years ago?

In this way, would it be unnecessary to explain why she is different from the original owner?

Su Ruan is not a very good imposter.

At school, she had already given herself away countless times, but her classmates had overlooked it.

But Grandma is different!

That was the person who took care of the original owner as she grew up.

She was actually always worried that even if she intended to attribute all her changes to the nearly three years she hadn't returned, her grandmother would still notice that something was wrong with her.

Grandma was just too kind to her.

From the moment he first saw her, he became increasingly enthusiastic and friendly, making her feel no sense of being suspected.

"Grandma, I'll eat with you from now on!"

Su Ruan assured.

She misses her grandma.

Even though her grandmother's cooking was spicy, and even though her grandmother always talked about another granddaughter she didn't know, she still loved her grandmother.

I wonder if the granddaughter my grandmother longed for will come back to see her after she dies.

Su Ruan looked at the kind-faced old woman in front of her. From now on, this would be her grandmother!

"I was wrong before. I was afraid that if I went to a school like that, I wouldn't be able to keep up if I didn't give it my all. I neglected you!"

"Grandma, I'll come back to visit you whenever I have time!"

Su Ruan picked a flimsy excuse to cover up the lie for the original owner.

She didn't want her grandmother to be sad or upset.

After hearing this, Grandma's eyes showed a relieved smile, and tears welled up in them.

"Good! Good! Good!"

She said "good" three times in a row.

It shattered Su Ruan's guilt and unease.

If she takes good care of her grandmother, her grandmother will forgive her for taking over her grandmother's place, right?

At four o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun was still high in the sky, Grandma had already started preparing dinner.

"You guys eat early at school, you must be hungry!"

Su Ruan smiled and said, "Yes! Grandma knows best!"

She followed her grandmother to pick vegetables in the yard. Her grandmother just smiled and watched as she picked, pointing out which fruits and vegetables were bigger.

The freshly picked vegetables are processed directly in the yard: roots, yellow leaves, and thorns are removed, and then they are washed in the sink.

Grandma wouldn't let me help with the rest.

"I can cut it myself; I only have one knife."

Grandma skillfully took down the cutting board, knife, and vegetable basket, while Su Ruan ate the sweet and astringent apples beside her.

After dinner, the sun finally rose above the mountaintop.

Su Ruan stepped onto the stairs leading to the second floor.

That was the original owner's room, and also where she slept at night.

The original owner's room was near the front on the second floor, and from the window, one could see a large sea of ​​flowers in the courtyard.

Blooming and growing.

In the wardrobe of the original owner's room, there were some well-tailored handmade clothes.

Su Ruan took it out and looked at herself in the mirror; it really was beautiful.

Su Ruan had a strong intuition that these clothes were all made by the original owner's mother.

After taking a shower in the ensuite bathroom of the bedroom, Su Ruan changed into a white strapless dress with small peach blossom patterns and slowly walked down the stairs.

Grandma is in the living room downstairs.

He looked over when he heard her voice.

At that moment, Su Ruan vaguely saw the glistening tears in her grandmother's eyes.

Her heart tightened.

Grandma already found out that she wasn't her granddaughter, didn't she?

Grandma stepped forward and examined the clothes she was wearing.

She smiled and praised, "Ruan Ruan looks good in anything."

This doesn't seem like anger and sadness towards someone who has taken over someone else's place.

Does he really want to treat her like his own granddaughter?

Or perhaps, like her, they want to treat the wrong person kindly in this flawed relationship, hoping that the right person will also be treated kindly.

Just like Madam Su, who longed for her daughter.

Or perhaps it's simply because she feels guilty, which makes her sensitive.

Grandma didn't say anything, so Su Ruan pretended not to know anything either.

She shyly allowed her grandmother to look her over.

Three years.

Su Ruan was only eighteen when she left home, and now she is almost twenty-one.

"Ruanruan, the evening breeze is lovely tonight. Sit with Grandma in the yard for a while."

"Okay, Grandma."

The evening breeze in the courtyard was really light and cool, and it felt very comfortable on people, especially after taking a shower.

"Ruanruan, do you still remember the songs Grandma taught you when you were little?"

"The moon goes, and I go too; I carry a flower basket for the moon."

Grandma's eyes were still smiling.

She sings beautifully too.

Su Ruan's nerves suddenly tensed up.

Grandma started to seriously test her.

She wanted to say: Grandma, didn't I lose my memory after the college entrance exam? I can't remember anything from before.

But suddenly a voice that wasn't so old appeared in her mind.

She said, "My third sister knows how to comb hair."

Grandma laughed heartily, "That's all you remember."

Her?

Was it something she remembered, or were these memories originally stored in the original owner's mind?

When she heard her grandmother sing, those words popped into her mind, and she simply repeated them.

Grandma said, "I'll sing it for you again."

As the moon moves, so do I.

I carried a flower basket with the moon.

When it comes to the main gate,

Picking pomegranates at the gate.

The pomegranate tree has three layers of oil.

My three older sisters know how to comb their hair.

The eldest sister styled her hair in a bun.

The second sister styled her hair with flowers in it.

Third sister doesn't know how to comb her hair.

Comb your hair into a lion playing with an embroidered ball.

It rolled into the garden.

"Only the lion is visible, not the ball."

Su Ruan listened carefully, as if some distant memory was slowly awakening.

There was a girl with pigtails chasing after a woman who wasn't that old.

"Grandma Zhou, Grandma Zhou, I want to listen to more songs."

Grandma Zhou asked with a smile, "What does Little Ruanruan want to hear?"

The little girl's soft voice was sweet and childlike: "I want to hear my hair being combed."

Grandma Zhou smiled kindly, "Okay, sing 'Combing Hair'."

Then, he lovingly took the little girl's hand and gently sang the nursery rhyme.

Little Ruanruan listened and sang along.

But she later remembered a few words: Third Sister combing her hair.

"Grandma, I think I've remembered something," Su Ruan said nervously.

She knew that her grandmother had already noticed the difference between her and the original owner of the body; otherwise, she wouldn't have used this ancient song to test her.

Although she knew it was wrong to lie, she didn't want the elderly to suffer the pain of separation and death at their age.

Grandma will definitely be sad if she finds out the truth.

Regardless of whether she looks exactly like the original owner or whether she is more outstanding than the original owner, to the grandmother, the one who disappeared is her granddaughter and her family.
