CHAPTER 590: CHAPTER 592 COUNT ME IN

Ningbei, Xu Nianhua was not yet aware that due to her rebirth, the Gu Family had begun searching for her prematurely. Recently, she had been pondering how to find that life-saver with the maple leaf scar.

In her past life, he had rescued her from the Sea of Fire.

Unfortunately, she had never seen him again afterward.

Xu Nianhua scribbled and doodled on paper. Her artistic talent was mediocre at best, barely managing to outline a figure.

"Little sister, what are you drawing there?" Xu Nian’an had grown accustomed to the weekly hustle and usual visits to the shop by his younger sister. Taking advantage of the lull, he had asked Xu Nianhua to rest in the attic, however, instead of resting, she continued to scribble and doodle.

"Second brother, have you ever seen this?" Xu Nianhua asked expectantly, looking at Xu Nian’an.

Xu Nian’an studied it carefully and asked uncertainly, "Are you drawing a leaf? A maple leaf?"

It did resemble one somewhat.

Xu Nianhua pursed her lips and said, "It’s a maple leaf, but what I want to find is..." someone with a maple leaf scar on their stomach.

But before she could finish, Xu Nianhua hesitated again. How could she explain it?

"You’re looking for maple leaves?" Xu Nian’an misunderstood her intentions, saying, "At our school, there’s a small hill with a maple tree. In autumn, the leaves turn red, and it’s quite beautiful. How about I pick some up for you when the time comes?"

Xu Nianhua struggled to suppress the urge to roll her eyes and said, "Second brother, it’s not the maple leaves I’m after. I’m looking for someone with a maple leaf scar. He saved me once, and I don’t know how to thank him properly."

"When did this happen? When did you have an accident?" Xu Nian’an immediately looked at Xu Nianhua with concern, sizing her up and down, unaware of any trouble his younger sister might have gotten into without his knowledge.

"It was that one time," Xu Nianhua answered vaguely, focusing on, "I’m okay now, but importantly, his maple leaf scar is near his belly button. I need to thank him."

Xu Nian’an, relieved to hear she was safe, returned his focus to the man who saved her, frowning as he said, "Everyone wears clothes. Who would know if someone has a scar near their belly button?"

"Let’s try. What if we find him? Then I can thank him in person," Xu Nian’an suggested.

Xu Nian’an agreed to help keep an eye out, but it wasn’t easy to find someone with a maple leaf scar near their belly button in the vast sea of people.

"By the way, second brother, I talked to Mom on the phone yesterday. She said our family got electricity now," Xu Nianhua said, genuinely thrilled by the news.

Being home during the New Year was exceedingly inconvenient without electricity, pitch black after sunset, unlike in the towns where there was electricity both day and night.

"That’s great news. I wonder how our house is coming along." Xu Nian’an, having earned money, had been sending money home consistently. His capital was already earned back, and the profits were piling up, helping to build the house required his contribution too.

"Mom said the beams had been installed already. By the time we go back during the summer vacation, it might be finished," Xu Nianhua said, her eyes filled with hope. As life at home improved, she felt delighted, believing that the tragic events of her past life would never recur.

"Yeah, when that time comes, I plan to buy a color TV set to bring back home," said Xu Nian’an, planning to furnish his home now that he had earned money.

"Count me in," Xu Nianhua chimed in immediately. Over the past few months, she had not given up collaborating with Lou Fan and was still earning a salary.
