Immediately afterwards, Yan Lingji gestured to Chu Qinghe with the clothes placed on the stone table.

Seeing this, Chu Qinghe casually picked up the clothes from the stone table next to him and handed them to Yan Lingji.

After receiving a piece of clothing, Yan Lingji began to put it on one by one in front of Chu Qinghe.

During the process, the fragrance emanating from her arms and clothes as she swung wafted towards Chu Qinghe.

After Yan Lingji finished dressing, Chu Qinghe looked at her and slowly said, "Judging from your appearance, aren't you planning to go back to the Great Qin Kingdom?"

In response to Chu Qinghe's question, Yan Lingji twirled her jet-black hair with her fingers and said, "So many years have passed. Those I knew and those I didn't, those important and those unimportant, are almost all dead. There's nothing left to cherish in the Qin Kingdom. Why would I go back?"

Although Yan Lingji spoke in a casual and relaxed tone.

After that, Chu Qinghe didn't say anything more, but turned around and slowly walked outside.

Only after Chu Qinghe turned the corner and disappeared from sight did Yan Lingji's smile gradually fade, replaced by a look of melancholy.

However, at that moment, Chu Qinghe's voice suddenly reached Yan Lingji's ears.

"Since there are no important people or things left in my past memories, let's see if we can fill those gaps in my future memories! I've already died once, why think so much?"

Upon hearing the sound, Yan Lingji, who was standing by the pool, couldn't help but pause for a moment.

Before Yan Lingji could react, Chu Qinghe's voice rang out again.

"Remember to clean the pool and fill the iron bucket with water, we'll need it for a bath tonight."

After a long while, Yan Lingji, having regained her senses, slowly turned her head to look at the pool.

"Yes! It's all over. I've died once. The past is just the past, and it has nothing to do with me now."

Thinking about it, Yan Lingji turned her head to look towards the inner courtyard.

"This guy always manages to offer the most insightful comfort, and that feeling of being completely seen through is... well, it's not that people dislike him."

As these thoughts raced through her mind, Yan Lingji raised her hand and flicked it into the pool.

A moment later, after the iron bucket was filled with water and the drained pool was cleaned, Yan Lingji let out a soft hum, put down her rolled-up sleeves, and walked towards the inner courtyard.
