The next evening, Lu Jingyuan drove to Mountview Inn with her two children after having dinner.

Ning Ran had called her the day before, informing her of the change in plans where the former would only return to Livingsfill two days later.

As Erbao's goldfish needed to be fed and have its water changed, Ning Ran requested Lu Jingyuan's help to do so.

Although they could've ordered the inn's staff to do it, Erbao insisted that only Lu Yunxue knew how to feed her fish.

Therefore, Lu Jingyuan happily obliged as it had been some time since she last returned to the inn.

When Lu Yunxue learned that Erbao had tasked her to feed the goldfish, she was pretty excited because she felt important.

Sitting in the child seat at the back, she continued to fidget restlessly. “Mommy, when is Erbao and Ms. Ning coming back?”

“They didn't say. Probably within the next few days. Also, you shouldn't cling to Erbao all the time. She's just here with her mommy because her mommy needs to work. Once they're done, they would leave and won't be staying in Livingsfill permanently.”

Lu Yunxue was visibly upset upon hearing her mother's words.

Given that she and Erbao were best friends, it was difficult for her to accept the latter's inevitable departure.

“What's wrong? Are you reluctant to see her leave? Don't tell me you want her to stay in Flower City with you,” Lu Jingyuan teased.

“I don't want to be away from Erbao,” Lu Yunxue murmured with a pout.

“There's nothing we can do about it. You'll understand once you grow up. Regardless of how close you are with your friends and relatives, you'll have to go your separate ways in the end.” Lu Jingyuan let out a sigh.

“But, I'm not grown up yet. I don't want to be separated from my best friend,” Lu Yunxue retorted.

“In that case, what do you want?”

“I want to stay in the same city as Erbao. We will go to the same school, become classmates, and grow up together. By the time we're adults, it will be fine for us to go our separate ways.” Lu Yunxue revealed her thoughts about the matter.

Lu Jingyuan turned toward Lu Yunbing. “What do you think?”

The latter maintained an icy expression. “I'm not that childish.”

Despite what she said, she, too, thought it would be great if they could be schoolmates with Dabao and Erbao.

“Look at how much more mature your sister is. The only thing you care about is having fun,” Lu Jingyuan reprimanded her younger daughter.

“She's lying. She doesn't like living here too and wants to have friends to play with. In fact, she loves playing with Dabao even more.” Lu Yunxue exposed her sister's feelings.

“Nonsense. Unlike you, I don't think about playing every day!” Lu Yunbing denied her twin's claim.

“I don't think about playing all the time too. I just need a friend. People without friends are really pitiful!” Lu Yunxue began to argue with her sister.

“I'm someone independent. Not having friends doesn't matter to me.”

“You're lying!”
