There stood a dark-skinned young man in tattered clothes, somewhat familiar, but... she couldn't recall who he was.
He called out her name, clearly he knew her. Could he be from her mother's village or a friend of her two brothers?
As she scrutinized him closely, Hua Jin searched her memory.
It seemed the young man noticed Hua Jin's confusion and spoke again.
"Hua Jin, s... brother," looking at the cross-dressed Hua Jin, Qin Shu immediately corrected himself.
"You are?" Hua Jin frowned.
"Do you remember... taking the county exam?" Qin Shu reminded her, his eyes bright.
Those words instantly unlocked Hua Jin's memory, her eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at the person in front of her.
"You... are Brother Qin Shu?"
It's no wonder her eyes failed her; although he still had a faint scholarly air, it was very faint. The most significant change was in his appearance.
The Qin Shu she saw before wasn't as handsome as her two brothers, but he was still a refined young man.
