None of them, including Aunt Qin, had expected Qin Hongfei to have such a temper. Her pretty face instantly turned cold. “Fine, remember what you said.”

A fifteen-year-old who had never traveled far—let’s see how she manages in the film city without anyone to show her the way!

The relatives thought the same. Once she got there, she would probably have to come begging for help. They snorted, “Just as ungrateful as your mother. When you get there, don’t come crying to me.”

But disappointment was inevitable.

True, Qin Hongfei had never traveled far in this life, but in her previous one, where hadn’t she ventured? From places nearby to lands overseas, she had wandered plenty. If she didn’t know the way, couldn’t she just ask? There was no need to lower her head in shame to read directions.

When they arrived at the South Station of the film city, the group got off the bus. For Aunt Qin and her husband, who rarely went out, this area was entirely unfamiliar. Most people spoke local dialects, and without a guide, navigating would be difficult.

As for Qin Hongfei, she had never been here either, but she could read maps. She walked straight to the bus stop and began checking the posted routes, quickly identifying her path: Route 29.

At that moment, another passenger came over to look at the map as well, but she clearly didn’t understand it and asked, “You’re Old Qin’s daughter, right? Could you help me figure out how to get to the film city?”

Qin Hongfei glanced at her. The woman recognized her, but she didn’t recognize the woman. “Auntie, you need to take Bus 29. I’m going that way too. Would you like to come along?”

The woman was about to nod when Aunt Qin and the relative squeezed over, overhearing them, and immediately started mocking, “Xiao Qin, it’s fine if you don’t know the way, but you can’t mislead others. The film city is clearly on Route 2! Last time I was here, that’s the bus I took.”

Route 2 and Route 29 led in entirely different directions.

Qin Hongfei, blessed with an excellent memory, didn’t need to check the routes again. She said calmly, “Route 2 doesn’t go directly to the film city. You remember wrong.”

The relative rolled her eyes and insisted to Aunt Qin, “I’ve been here twice—how could I be wrong? It’s definitely Route 2. How can you know just by glancing?”

Qin Hongfei replied serenely, “I just checked. Route 2 really doesn’t go to the film city.”

She had only looked for a few minutes and could remember all those complicated stops so clearly—there were dozens! “Fine, then wait here for Route 29. But when Route 2 comes, don’t you dare get on!”

The relatives clearly thought she was talking nonsense. As they spoke, Route 2 arrived. The relative quickly flagged it down, and Aunt Qin and her husband boarded without hesitation.

Qin Hongfei didn’t move.

The villager who had asked for directions looked anxiously from the relatives to the calm Qin Hongfei. “Girl, is it really Route 29?”

Qin Hongfei nodded. “Yes, it’s written right there. Auntie, you can trust me.” Route 2 truly didn’t go to the film city. The older woman wasn’t lying, but Qin Hongfei guessed that during her previous visits, someone must have led her and transferred at some point. Of course, even if she explained, the woman might not believe her, so she didn’t bother to waste her breath.

The villager, reassured, decided to wait with her.

Route 2’s doors closed and the bus pulled away.

Soon after, Route 29 arrived. Qin Hongfei got on, helping the villager carry two pieces of luggage.

The woman was still a little uneasy, worried that Qin Hongfei might get them lost, but thankfully—

After nearly an hour’s journey, Route 29 did, in fact, arrive at the film city.
