The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it's nearing dusk.

"No matter which world you're in, this sunset always seems to be the same!" The white-clad youth stood by the window, gazing at the sunset outside, his spotless white clothes tinged with a faint red.

Just as he was about to speak, Jin Yi pushed open the door and walked in carrying medicine. As soon as he entered, he saw Gu Liyan looking at the sunset outside the window with a resentful and unwilling look on her face. Her beautiful face was tinged with melancholy, and her long eyelashes were so charming!

Jin Yi lowered his eyes slightly. Gu Liyan didn't turn around to talk to him, probably still thinking about what happened in the Shadow Hall.

At this moment, Gu Liyan must only be thinking about An Qianbai!

Jin Yi sighed helplessly, then placed the steaming medicine on the table and said softly to Gu Liyan, "Lord Gu, the medicine is ready. It's best to drink it while it's hot."

In fact, from the moment Jin Yi walked in, Gu Liyan knew it was him. No one else would carry the scent of medicine.

I hadn’t noticed before, but recently, Jin Yi has been taking great care of Gu Liyan, and I’ve realized that Jin Yi is actually a doctor!

However, while the setting sun before us is infinitely beautiful, it also brings many worries.

Gu Liyan turned around and glanced at the medicine on the table. A wave of annoyance washed over her, and her reluctance was palpable. She spoke softly:

"Today's medicine... is a bit bitter, can I not drink it?"

Jin Yi looked at Gu Liyan with some surprise. After Gu Liyan finished speaking, a pair of pure white fox ears and a white tail suddenly appeared!

Jin Yi smiled to himself, understanding dawning on him.

That fox, which looks like it's being affectionate, seems unaware that its fox ears and tail have been exposed!

Jin Yi didn't expose him, but smiled slightly and said in a teasing tone, "If you find it bitter, I'll get some sugar!"

Gu Liyan frowned slightly, his handsome eyebrows furrowing in a hint of resentment, and sighed, "I'm not a child anymore, why are you trying to appease me with candy?"

Jin Yi raised an eyebrow, looking with great interest at Gu Liyan's slightly swaying tail and adorable fox ears, feeling an irresistible urge to go up and touch them!

However, he held back in the end, looked at Gu Liyan and smiled slightly, "If you want to go out, I'll accompany you!"

Gu Liyan's eyes lit up immediately. "Really? You're not lying to me? Can I leave now?"

He had been cooped up in the room for days and was thoroughly bored. He was overjoyed to hear Jin Yi say he could go out!

Jin Yi watched Gu Liyan happily wagging his tail and couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Hehe, look how happy you are... But before that, in order to participate in the election, you must take good care of your health, and you still need to take your medicine!"

As he spoke, he handed the medicine on the table to Gu Liyan. Gu Liyan glanced at Jin Yi, then took it without thinking and drank it down in one gulp, leaving not a single drop!

After wiping his mouth, Gu Liyan looked at Jin Yi expectantly. "We've finished drinking. When are we going out?"

Kim Il narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled, saying, "Don't rush. Before the election, many people will be watching you whenever you go out. For safety's sake, wait until dark before you go!"

"Targeting me? I've already faked my death and escaped, so why would they be targeting me?" Gu Liyan asked, tilting his head in confusion.

Looking at Gu Liyan's adorable appearance, Jin Yi couldn't help but swallow hard, then smiled and said, "You, you're really smart all your life but foolish for once. With me as your role model, you're naturally a moving target."

Hearing Jin Yi's words, Gu Liyan suddenly froze, realizing that Jin Yi hadn't used any honorifics when speaking to him...

"I, I..." Gu Liyan didn't know how to answer him for a moment. She subconsciously lowered her head and suddenly realized that her shadow had fox ears and a fox tail. She was startled and said, "When, when did this happen..."

Gu Liyan glanced at Jin Yi cautiously.

Jin Yi smiled, her eyes crinkling, as she looked at Gu Liyan's embarrassed expression. "Don't worry, I didn't see anything!"

Gu Liyan looked embarrassed, her face instantly turning red, and she hurriedly retracted her tail and ears.

Upon seeing this, Jin couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Through these few days of getting to know each other, Jin Yi seems to have learned more about Gu Liyan:

Gu Liyan may seem amorous, but he is also devoted to one person. He may seem serious, but he would go to great lengths for his friends!

However, Jin Yi noticed that Gu Liyan's eyes always revealed a sense of sadness, which made her feel heartbroken.

Although Jin Yi doesn't know what Gu Liyan went through in his life before, he is certain that Gu Liyan always seems to hide his true self in his own world.

And those who appear serious and indifferent, strong and aloof, devoted and single-minded...

Are these truly his essential nature?

His unintentional actions just now clearly showed that he was just a mischievous, innocent, and adorable child who loves to cry and laugh.

What could have caused him to become like this? To hide his true self so deeply—

Jin Yi didn't understand, and perhaps even Gu Liyan didn't understand.

No

Perhaps Gu Liyan has forgotten what kind of "fox" she once was...

Seeing Gu Liyan turn his head away with a somewhat absent gaze, Jin Yi didn't know what he was thinking or what he was remembering. He only knew that Gu Liyan didn't want others to see his true self...

Jin Yi didn't want to point it out, but it was only to maintain their "friendship" that wasn't too close or too distant. However, he still longed for Gu Liyan to be able to truly and frankly express his feelings.

Even the deepest, most unforgettable grief!
