The people who were originally close to Bai Xue were all polite this year, not too warm. Bai Xue didn't try to socialize with others either. Instead, around Ye Qian were Song Mei and a few others who weren't much affected.
This year, the commander's wife still came, and Ye Zhenfen, unlike others, still sat beside Bai Xue. "Ye Qian hasn't been to the library much this year. I wasn't there a lot either, so we never ran into each other. Still, just seeing her grown a year older, she's truly a big girl now."
"Indeed, she's sixteen this year, truly a big girl," Bai Xue also sighed, feeling a bit more at ease with the leader's wife sitting beside her.
Even though Ye Zhenfen was already over fifty, she didn't look it, appearing more like forty-seven or forty-eight. Having never had children, she seemed more like a sister to Bai Xue.
"Doesn't your family have another big girl? Why didn't she come this year?" Ye Zhenfen looked around before asking.
