"Wow! I didn't expect Mayor Ye to come from a poor family. It must have been difficult for him to come out of poverty in the past few decades, right?"

"Fortunately, our family was poor. My mother gave birth to four children. I was the only one who survived the rainstorm and famine. Then my whole family supported me and let me go to school. I was also the only one who was admitted to university that year."

"It's a very inspiring story. Haha, if my parents hadn't divorced and I knew more people, I would probably have heard your story from my neighbors."

"..."

As they chatted, they seemed to notice that Yin Xiamo and I were just feeding each other fruit. Mayor Ye came over and said, "Come to think of it, I haven't introduced myself yet. Let me introduce myself first, you two. My full name is Ye Yuqing. Usually we are more casual. You can just call me Auntie Ye, or Sister Ye. Haha, it's a bit embarrassing to let such a young child call me sister."

"Sister Ye."

I nodded: "It's the first time we meet. I'm Yin Nuoer and she's my good friend, Yin Xiamo."

So far, I have a pretty good impression of Mayor Ye.

I have never come into contact with senior officials and I don't know what it's like to get along with such people, so I have no way of judging what level Mayor Ye's way of treating others ranks among people of the same kind.

At least I personally feel that she is pretty nice. She doesn’t have the airs of a “big shot” and is very easy-going, just like Jiang Wei’s real neighbor.

Although Mayor Ye came here today wearing work clothes - a suit, trousers, and a neat short hair, he looked like a law enforcement officer in the court.

I don't know how old Mayor Ye is, but judging from her appearance, she must be over 35 years old. She should be of the same generation as Lu Xinjian, the former boss of Yajendo Hall - about the same age as Lu Xinjian's wife.

But for a mayor, 35 years old is generally not a good option.

So this Mayor Ye is probably just young-looking or well-maintained. If you really count, most mayors are over 40 years old, and the average age should be around 50.

Based on this age, if the mayor is married, he should have a child around 20 years old, maybe still in college?

Wait a minute.

A 20-year-old kid whose mother is the mayor, and then this mayor's mother wants to meet me and Yin Xiamo for no reason. This...

Isn't it what I thought?

I looked at "Ye Yuqing" in front of me with curiosity.

Under my gaze, the other party just smiled faintly, took a small bowl, and poured himself a bowl of corn porridge.

The corn porridge here made by Jiang Wei is a little different from the porridge I usually make. In addition to ordinary rice, this corn porridge also contains about one-third of white corn. White corn is generally glutinous corn, so this porridge will appear particularly sticky, and I don’t know how it tastes.

Among the people present, judging from Jiang Wei's attitude and the tone of his speech just now, the mayor should not be coming for him. Jiang Wei also said that the person the mayor met was me, and it was a "private" meeting, which meant that this was not "official business". Moreover, the mayor's attitude towards us was very sincere and natural. It didn't look like he saw Yin Xiamo flying the satellite and wanted to come over to ask questions.

What private affairs can a mayor have with us? Especially when we are not related in the original social circle?

The only person I can think of is Yin Shiren.

In other words...Yin Shiren's body, that is, the organ donation...transplant operation.

The hospital prohibits patients from checking the donors of transplant operations, but this rule is similar to "hospitals are prohibited from informing pregnant parents of the gender of their children." The rules are not absolute or rigid, and if someone really checks it, the doctor will not be sentenced. It's like... If you have connections, I can tell you implicitly that whether you can find out or not depends on the level of your ability.

For example, if the husband of the pregnant woman is an old classmate of the doctor who is doing the examination, and they have a good relationship, the doctor will make sure that if he tells this old classmate the gender of the baby, the old classmate will not bite back and say, "This hospital violated the regulations, I will report it, report this doctor, and make him lose his job." So when the old classmate asks, "Doctor, I am going to give the child a name. The first two have been decided, but the last two characters, 'Qian' and 'Hao', are hard to decide," the doctor will secretly remind this old classmate:

"Personally, I prefer the character 'Qian'. Of course, it's just my personal preference. It's better for you to decide on a name based on your birth date and the seniority of your family."

So this old classmate heard the subtext from "The doctor likes the word 'Qian'": your child is a girl.

Similarly, Lu Xinjian and the doctor who was in charge of the transplant operation were old friends, so it was not surprising that Lu Xinjian could ask him about the identity of the donor, "Yin Shiren".

Li Denghua's family didn't know the donor at first. It was Lu Xinjian who checked it himself and then told them.

Then there was the "big shit" in the group, the girl who looked gentle but had dark circles under her eyes at the authors' conference. She wrote to me saying that she took the initiative to hire a private detective, and it took almost a month to find my whereabouts.

Since an ordinary person like Lu Xinjian who has a little money can find out, and a private detective can find out, suppose... I mean suppose, suppose that Mayor Ye's child, son or daughter, also suffers from a serious illness and needs an organ transplant, and Yin Shiren's organ just happened to arrive at that time, I don't believe that she, as the mayor of Shenbin City, cannot find Yin Shiren and Yin Shiren's sister.

So far, this is the only possibility I can think of: the possibility that I am related to Mayor Ye Yuqing.

"Hello, Nuo'er, and... Xia Mo."

Under the gaze of Yin Xiamo and I, Mayor Ye in front of us also looked very easygoing: "You two are really cute. I thought you were twins when I saw your names before, but it turns out that you are so different. You are still so cute, especially your skin... It's amazing, wow!"

Although she is a bit older, Mayor Ye was still similar to most women when she chatted with us. The first thing she noticed was Yin Xiamo and my face and skin.

In fact, after these days of adapting, I also feel that our skin is indeed a bit too unbelievable to be "perfect".

Most people will have some marks in the process of growing up. For example, girls with good skin are considered "chosen ones" in parts of their body. Even if some people have good skin when they are young, it is impossible for them to have no bumps and bruises in more than ten years. Sometimes when they go downstairs to play with friends, or go to the street with their parents, they will fall more or less, or accidentally touch something, and then leave some scars.

In addition, some insects like to crawl around. When you are sleeping at night, some small insects may fly to your face without you noticing. They may bite you or spit out some corrosive liquids, which may cause wounds or scars on your face.

When entering puberty, the endocrine system is active and acne or freckles are prone to appear on the face. If not handled properly, it is easy to leave acne scars. Some people buy inferior cosmetics, which can also cause pigmentation on the face.

Even if someone has really good skin, never having acne or freckles, and has never had any bumps or bumps since childhood, the skin itself will not grow so tender and smooth. Basically, there will be certain ups and downs or changes in color. Some people will develop hemorrhoids, some people may not sleep well one day and have benign lesions in some parts of the skin, so the color does not look so good.

Therefore, most people have become accustomed to the fact that people around them have more or less flaws on their faces, but Yin Xiamo and I have faces that are so perfect that it looks like we have used filters and skin-smoothing effects... anyone would find it incredible and think we are wearing makeup.

"Ah...thank you."

Faced with such exaggeration, I really didn’t know how to respond, so I just turned my head away and said, “These are all the skin care…skin care techniques that Xiaomo…um, taught me.”

I originally thought that Mayor Ye would ask some questions like "Where is your hometown?" and "How did you meet?" that I would not know how to answer. However, he did not continue the topic and instead changed the subject to himself: "I also have a daughter. She just finished the college entrance examination two years ago. Her grades were pretty good and she entered Kamijima University. She is about the same age as you. I think you should be good friends. You can get to know each other if you have time."

daughter?

Sure enough, is it coming?

"Mayor Ye's daughter suffered from kidney failure in her second year of high school. She stayed up late to study in her third year of high school, but the result was..."

Su Yunjin next to him continued, "He had only been in college for less than half a month when he was hospitalized."

"what?"

Jiang Wei, who was unaware of the situation, was stunned for a moment: "What about now?"

"Recently, we found a kidney donor and just completed the surgery."

Su Yunjin drank corn porridge while talking, showing a very enjoyable expression. He picked up the bowl and said, "Marisa, your balcony is well decorated. I'll go outside and take a look."

As he spoke, Su Yunjin stood behind Mayor Ye and mouthed to me, "Look at your phone."

I took out my phone with some confusion.

"The corn from our hometown was obtained from a fellow villager. It has the original flavor, but some people are not used to it and think it is too sticky."

Watching Su Yunjin walk out of the living room onto the balcony, Jiang Wei, who was completely unaware of the situation, turned to Mayor Ye and said, "Um, is your daughter okay now? Did the operation go well?"

"It went smoothly. She is feeling much better after the transplant. I often went to the hospital to accompany her in the first few days. The doctor said that if there are no problems by the end of May, she can be discharged."

Mayor Ye lowered his head, picked up the spoon, and scooped a few pieces of fruit: "I am very grateful to the unknown stranger. He saved my daughter's life."

"Buzzing..."

When Mayor Ye said this, a message appeared on my phone saying “Jitu Tonglong sent you a window shake”.

When I opened QQ, I saw that in addition to the shaking window, Su Yunjin also sent a message: [Mayor Ye meant that you are their family’s benefactor]

Jiang Wei was still chatting foolishly with Mayor Ye: "I remember that I needed to take that medicine all the time after the transplant surgery?"

"Well, my daughter is doing very well, and the doctor was also surprised. He said that the donor and her body are a perfect match, and the prognosis is expected to be very good."

Su Yunjin's message came through the phone again: [Mayor Ye means that they owe you a favor that they will never be able to repay in their lifetime]

"That's great."

Jiang Wei breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that he can recover. Nowadays, people... really value health more than anything else. I've seen similar reports before, and it seems that it's said that it's no longer possible to check the donor's information or something? Do you want to protect privacy?"

"It is mainly necessary to avoid some malicious incidents and put an end to organ trading, because once the information can be traced, it is easy to derive corresponding crimes, and it is embarrassing from some ethical and moral perspectives, so both parties must abide by the 'double-blind' principle."

Mayor Ye said while eating fruit: "So even if I really want to thank that person in person, there is no way. My family really wants to say thank you to him."

[What I did is illegal, I can’t say it openly, this is a signal of goodwill]

"By the way, Nuo'er, Xia Mo, do you like this bracelet? My daughter said that if you want to give something to a girl, it should be either cosmetics or jewelry."

Mayor Ye probably saw that I was looking at my phone, so he turned to me and Yin Xiamo and said, "I asked a gem craftsman who I have a good relationship with to make these two bracelets. Many of my friends know that craftsman, and he is a very nice person, so I charged him for the work."

[This is a real gem, and when it was made, "senior officials" who had a good relationship with the "mayor" were present. Wherever you go, others will see this thing and understand that you two have a special relationship with the mayor.]

"what……"

I nodded: "I like it very much, thank you."

"Mayor Ye, I heard from Su Yunjin that you came here today specifically for Nuo'er."

Jiang Wei still didn't seem to understand the specific situation. He looked at Su Yunjin who was playing with her phone and drinking porridge on the balcony, and then looked at Mayor Ye: "What exactly happened?"

"If I must talk about it, it's about the coffee shop. Su Yunjin should have told you about it, right? The city is planning to develop the Nannai District recently. There is a 580 billion project, and the coffee shop where they work is a relatively important part of this project. I heard that these two kids are doing a great job. Even Ouyang Xue, who is known to have very strict work requirements at Tongmeng.com, praised them highly. So I thought that today is a good day off, and you have moved into your new house, so I came to take a look."

Mayor Ye smiled and said, "Why, you don't welcome an old lady like me?"

[Mayor Ye means that Nuo'er Xiamo, you can go ahead and do whatever you want in the coffee shop. If you have any political issues, you can go directly to her. There is no need to worry. The city will help you solve them.]

"No, no, no, how could it be?"

Jiang Wei laughed out loud: "I am so happy that you can come to my house. It will be so prestigious for me to go out. Mayor Ye came to my humble home to chat with an old man like me. I will brag about this for many years."

"..."

……

In the end, Mayor Ye Yuqing and I exchanged cell phone numbers. Jiang Wei even went to the third floor of the house and brought down two little turtles, saying that they were going to be given to Yin Xiamo and me.

"This is a golden coin turtle, it brings wealth. Don't be fooled by its small size, it grows very slowly. If it is well cared for, it can live for hundreds of years and can be a family heirloom."

"When you have children in the future, you can let her continue to raise them."

Under pressure from Jiang Wei's dominance, Yin Xiamo and I had no choice but to collect the two little turtles and put them in a small fish tank. We took a large bag of feed, held in one hand, and rode back on the bicycle.

"Xiao Mo."

Because I needed to hold the little turtle in one hand and hold Yin Xiamo in the other. The girl in front rode very slowly. On the way back, I glanced at the bracelet on my hand: "Did you arrange Mayor Ye's affairs as well?"

Yin Xiamo obviously didn't understand what I meant: "Mayor Ye's matter?"

"It's about...donating organs."

"No, all I did was take your uncle's body to the hospital. As for who they gave the organs to, that's not something I can decide."

"Is it really just a coincidence?"

"It's really just a coincidence."

"Humph, I don't believe it."

"Eh?"

Hearing what I said, Yin Xiamo in front of me turned around and said, "My little princess, you are not still thinking about that... I have the ability to go back in time, and after repeating the world line countless times, I found that I have to curry favor with the mayor in order to get through the world line, right?"

"Isn't that so?"

"really not."

"then you……"

I bent down and got close to Yin Xiamo's neck: "How do you prove it?"

"This... I don't know how to prove this. You asked me to provide proof of something that doesn't exist at all. I..."

"But I'm just very worried."

"Noer, are you worried about me?"

"No!"

I thought about it and said, "Just think of it as... thinking of it as me suffering from some PTSD. I've watched too many anime like this, and I always feel like you, Xiaomo, are also the heroine in them."

"I see, Nuo'er, this is a common professional problem for novel writers."

“Is this a common problem among novelists?”

"To put it simply, it's Chuunibyou."

"What does this have to do with Chuunibyou?"

I was not convinced: "So, Xiaomo, how are you going to dispel my concerns? I am just... a little panicked now."

"Um……"

After driving the car onto the Shenbin Bridge, Yin Xiamo stopped and put her feet on the ground to support the car: "We have a camera above our heads, and there may be a recorder. If we talk about magic, it will probably be eavesdropped. Nuoer, come closer."

Come closer?

I put my head on Yin Xiamo's shoulder and lowered my voice: "Is this okay?"

Why did you say this in front of the camera?

"Come closer."

Yin Xiamo, who was less than five centimeters away from my face, signaled with her eyes to the camera above our heads: "This thing is very sensitive, we need to keep the noise down."
