Small lights shone into the dark room.
The girl on the large bed woke up to the sound of her phone ringing, the screen showing An Nha’s name.
“Is something wrong, An Nha? Why are you up so early today?”
“Y Nguyet, I woke up early today because I wanted to ask if you’re busy.”
“I’m not busy today. What’s up, my beautiful Miss Lu?”
“Come to my house today.”
“Okay, I’ll be there in a bit.”
“I’ll send you the address.”
“I still remember it.”
“I thought you would have forgotten after being away for so long. After all, you’ve been studying abroad for five years.”
“My memory is pretty good, so you don’t need to worry.”
“Then I’ll wait for you at home.”
“Okay… Okay…”
It had been a long time since Kieu Y Nguyet had visited Lu An Nha’s house.
Because she was very busy before, she didn’t have time to visit.
Especially when Kieu Y Nguyet was preparing to study abroad, she had even less time than before.
The girl on the bed, Kieu Y Nguyet, was 20 years old this year.
In a few months, she would turn 21 and was also the eldest daughter of the Kieu family.
The girl who had just called Kieu Y Nguyet was her best friend, Miss Lu An Nha, the daughter of the Lu family.
Kieu Y Nguyet calmly got out of bed and took care of her personal hygiene.
A moment later, she took out a rather simple white and red dress, put it on, and went downstairs.
Kieu Y Nguyet walked into the kitchen and saw everyone preparing to eat breakfast.
She gently sat down on a chair.
“Good morning, everyone.”
“Y Nguyet, you’re up, dear? Come sit down and have breakfast!”
“Yes, I just woke up.”
The person who spoke to Y Nguyet was Bai Lan, her mother.
She sat down to eat in a cheerful mood.
When she finished breakfast, she saw that Kieu Trang and Kieu Diem had also finished eating.
They were her twin younger sister and brother.
Both of them had just turned 11 this year.
The three siblings had a significant age gap, also because her mother had given birth to the two younger ones quite late.
Kieu Y Nguyet waited for a while, then took her two younger siblings to school.
On the way, Kieu Trang and Kieu Diem talked with their sister.
They asked if she had gotten used to being back in the country.
They also asked Y Nguyet if she had gotten a boyfriend during her five years of studying abroad in America.
Y Nguyet felt helpless with her two younger siblings; these two probably wanted their older sister to get married already.
After taking Kieu Diem and Kieu Trang to school, Kieu Y Nguyet then went to Lu An Nha’s house.
As soon as she arrived at the gate, she saw Lu An Nha coming out to greet her.
Lu An Nha was very happy and ran to hug her.
“Y Nguyet, I missed you so much.”
“Me too.”
“Now that you’re back, are you going back to America?”
“No, I plan to stay and not go back. I’ve accepted an offer to be a temporary lecturer at a university.”
“Oh right, let’s go inside.”
As soon as she stepped inside, she was overwhelmed by Lu An Nha’s house.
Just like the first time she came here, after all these years, the house was still as beautiful.
The spacious Western-style house was surrounded by a lotus pond and more.
Once inside the house, Kieu Y Nguyet immediately noticed two people sitting on the sofa drinking tea.
She politely greeted Lu Qi and Shi Hua, An Nha’s parents.
“Hello, Uncle… Hello, Auntie!”
“This is…”
“My name is Kieu Y Nguyet, An Nha’s best friend!”
“Y Nguyet… It’s been a long time since we last saw you. It’s been several years, hasn’t it?”
“Yes, it’s been over five years.”
“Five years already? Time really flies. It feels like just yesterday you left to study abroad, and now you’re back.”
“Yes.”
Seeing Kieu Y Nguyet, Shi Hua and Lu Qi felt a strong fondness for this girl.
Lu An Nha saw her parents looking at Kieu Y Nguyet like that and immediately knew what they were thinking.
Lu An Nha immediately pulled Y Nguyet upstairs to her room to chat.
After greeting Lục An Nhã’s parents, Kiều Y Nguyệt asked if she could go upstairs with Lục An Nhã.
Lục An Nhã walked so fast that Kiều Y Nguyệt couldn't keep up and had to run after her.
But unexpectedly, because she was running too fast, Kiều Y Nguyệt bumped into Lục Đình Phong.
Seeing Y Nguyệt about to fall, Lục Đình Phong caught her.
Kiều Y Nguyệt was much shorter than Lục Đình Phong.
He was 1.9m tall, while she was only 1.7m.
Lục An Nhã saw the murderous look in her brother's eyes and immediately pulled Kiều Y Nguyệt out of his arms.
It made him feel as if he had lost something.
Lục An Nhã still remembered the last time the second young lady of the An family bumped into him; he had immediately dealt with that An girl and her entire family.
Lục Đình Phong looked at the two girls in front of him, not intending to ask anything.
His younger sister, however, quickly introduced them:
“Big Brother, this is my best friend, Kiều Y Nguyệt. She’s the eldest young lady of the Kiều family, and she’s 20 years old. Oh, right, Y Nguyệt, this is my brother, Lục Đình Phong. He’s 27 this year.”
Kiều Y Nguyệt looked up at him.
His icy face made her a little scared, but then she quickly composed herself.
She flashed a sweet, bright smile and greeted him.
“Hello, Big Brother. My name is Kiều Y Nguyệt, An Nhã’s friend. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
“Hello.”
The “Hello” Lục Đình Phong uttered was as cold as his very being.
He had never seen a girl who dared to look him straight in the eye without fear, like Kiều Y Nguyệt.
Đình Phong gave a faint smile, then went downstairs.
That girl had piqued his interest.
