By the time you read this, I’ll have found my relatives and left. Believe we’ll meet again. Don’t worry. I had urgent matters and had to leave suddenly. You’re a good girl. I have nothing to give you, but the chain on the table is called the “Phoenix Token.” Treasure it. It will bring you good luck. Goodbye! Those meant to meet will meet again.
Long Daxhai 2000/7/15
Originally, Grandpa Long was called Long Dahai. Lan Lan found a beautiful bracelet that perfectly matched her fair, flawless hand. The bracelet featured translucent green jade beads with red cords on both sides, and large red jade stones on each end. The red jade reflected a lively radiance, adorned with a dragon on one side and a phoenix on the other, creating a dazzling display.
Lan Lan never expected that this bracelet would bring her an entirely different life journey.

On August 15, Mid-Autumn Festival, Lan Lan called her mother to check in. She felt unsettled as if something was about to happen. During the call, she urged her mother to take care of her health, knowing she would be most worried if anything happened to her. Fortunately, her mother’s health was good, and her younger sister was in her third year of university, set to intern next year. With graduation approaching, Lan Lan hoped for an improved family situation.
Although the family living conditions had improved in the past two years, she felt exhausted, constantly having to enhance herself while managing work pressure and complex interpersonal dynamics.
She had to put in more effort than others to maintain her position. Even the strongest person would feel tired after several years. Recently, she felt physically and mentally drained, wanting to relax and travel but rarely having the opportunity. Fortunately, the company provided a free annual trip for the past five years, allowing her to visit a few places.
Lost in thought, she remembered she hadn’t called her sister yet. She quickly dialed her sister’s number, who was studying in Guangzhou.
“Xiaoting, give me your account; I’ll transfer about 30,000 yuan. Be sure to use it sparingly; it should be enough until you graduate. Any extra can go to Mom.”
