She smiled and said, "Let's go back then."

Fu Xiao stood up, came to the table and said to the others, "You guys drink, I'm going home first..."

After walking a few steps towards the door, he remembered and turned back to remind them: "My wine has a strong aftertaste, so take it easy."

Lu Yuan waved his hand at her, "Got it, drive slowly."

Shen Xingzhou looked at the backs of the two people leaving, his deep eyebrows and eyes showed no emotion at all.

Lu Yuan raised his glass and clinked it with hers, lowering his voice and saying, "Boy, you better be more restrained, my sister is only sixteen years old."

Shen Xingzhou took a sip of wine and said in a light voice: “I know,”

Gu Qichen smiled wickedly, raised his eyebrows and said, "This girl is too young now, she doesn't understand anything about feelings. If you let her know your thoughts now, she will only try to dissuade you from doing anything."

"I didn't intend to let her know so early..." Shen Xingzhou glanced at him, his tone pointed, "At that time, I thought I was dying..."

He was well aware of his own physical limits. If he had thought he still had a chance to survive, he would never have revealed his intentions so early.

He would wait until she was a little older, until he became better and stronger.

We'll talk about it then. By then, it will be time for her to consider these things.

Hearing him say this, Gu Qichen also thought of the ambush in Gangcheng. The smile on his face disappeared, his eyes became dim, and a bitter smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

He picked up the wine glass and said, "I will apologize to you on his behalf."

Shen Xingzhou clinked glasses with him, and they both drank it down in one gulp.

Lu Yuan wanted to say something else to ease the atmosphere. He put his arm around Chen Xingzhou's neck and said, "You are so brave..."

"My girl is very outstanding, good-looking, and capable. It's normal to like her."

Even he was confused once, but...
