Back at the training ground, Gu Xin was no longer as energetic as before, and sat listlessly next to Gu Ren and Peng Balang.

Gu Ren was no ordinary child; he had already noticed that Gu Xin was acting strangely. He made an excuse to send the real child, Peng Balang, away, and then grabbed Gu Xin's arm, saying, "Third Sister, what's wrong? Who bullied you? I'll go beat him up for you!"

Gu Xin shook her head and sighed, "Sigh, no one is bullying me. It's just that, it's just that, I feel like I've lost something."

Gu Ren: "?"

The little brat is getting melancholy?

Gu Xin pinched Gu Ren's cheek: "Renren, if one day Peng Xiaoba stops sharing his toys with you, stops sharing his secrets with you, and stops telling you his innermost thoughts, will he still be your friend?"

Gu Ren replied without hesitation, "He wouldn't dare!"

Only after she finished speaking did I realize that her third sister's friendship was in trouble!

He glanced at Huo Yanyu, who was bullying Peng Qilang with Gu Si. Hmm, it definitely wasn't Huo Yanyu.

Xie Zhiyi? That talkative girl probably isn't her.

That's Cheng Huaiyu.

Gu Xin was amused by Gu Ren's answer. She couldn't understand why she, who was almost fourteen and about to become a young woman, was talking to a three-year-old.

She pulled her hands away from Gu Ren's embrace and pinched Gu Ren's chubby cheeks with both hands: "Our Renren is the best! Third Sister can't beat the children of the Peng family at the same age, so Renren must do her best!"

Gu Ren calmly let her pinch him, then nodded.

Well, he doesn't understand young girls' feelings either, so he shouldn't give them any advice.

Gu Xin didn't tell her family about her feelings for Xiao Yu afterward, because she was afraid that she was wrong and that her family would have a bad impression of Xiao Yu.

After washing up, I lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Her mind was filled with images of Cheng Huaiyu from Taoyuan County, who couldn't speak and looked at her with big, blinking eyes; then there was the grown-up Xiaoyu, gazing at her brother Yuanyuan with burning eyes; and then there was Xiaoyu, whom she imagined looking anxiously as she read the letter.

Finally, she sat up, put on her clothes, opened the window, whistled, and a moment later, Bai Er appeared at her window.

Gu Xin was silent for a moment, then said, "Bai Er, have Bai Shi go to Jiangnan and keep an eye on Xiao Yu for me!"

Bai Er looked pleased; the Third Miss had grown up!

Gu Xin sighed: "Bai Er, Xiao Yu has never met Bai Shi, but she also told Bai Shi to be careful and not to be discovered. The main thing is to see what she usually does, whether the man surnamed Song who is with her is sincere towards her, and whether she has any other people besides that man surnamed Song. It would be best to investigate that man surnamed Song."

Bai Er nodded: "Yes, Third Miss."

Gu Xin thought for a moment and then said, "Don't tell Yuan Yuan about this yet, I'll tell him myself."

Bai Er: "Yes, Third Miss."

Gu Xin thought for a moment and continued, "Write a letter to Bai Yi and ask him to place people in the merchant caravan of Xingnan Kingdom to search for Cheng Huaijin. If there are any connections to go to Dongjue Kingdom, have him arrange for people to go there as well. Cheng Huaijin looks exactly like Cheng Huaiyu, but he should be taller than Cheng Huaiyu."

After making the arrangements, Bai Er withdrew.

Gu Xin hoped that Xiao Yu only asked her about the miracle drug because she felt insecure and missed her brother.

When asked if she regretted giving Xiaoyu so many jade beads and so much jade bead water, she was asked if she regretted it.

She has no regrets.

Xiaoyu was her first friend in her youth, a very precious friend.

If Xiaoyu really wanted to harm her, then...

All good things must come to an end; she will take good care of herself.
