When she weighed the fourth one, she finally discovered the secret.

This walnut is lighter than the previous ones, and if you look closely, the crack in the middle of the walnut is also larger than the others.

It looks like it was opened and then glued back on.

After Anzi finished eating and left, Shen Jingyan closed the door and eagerly cracked open the special walnut.

It was empty inside, with no nuts, but there was a small note inside!

Shen Jingyan opened the small note; on it was a line of strong, vigorous handwriting:

"I'm on patrol tonight, same old spot."

After reading the note, Shen Jingyan immediately pictured Gu Zhiyun's face in her mind.

He smiled gently at himself, his beautiful lips curving into a perfectly alluring arc.

With her heart pounding, Shen Jingyan crumpled the note into a ball and threw it into the stove.

He thought to himself: Gu Zhiyun's thoughts are so delicate!

In fact, Gu Zhiyun didn't need to go to such lengths to arrange a meeting with her, making it seem like the two of them were playing a spy game.

But everyone knows about the farce that happened today. Although it proved her and Gu Zhiyun's innocence, people may not say it, but they will always have doubts and mutter a few words in their hearts.

If Gu Zhiyun were to swagger into her dormitory during this sensitive time, and if someone with ulterior motives were to spread rumors, even something that didn't happen would become true.

That's why he's being so cautious.

Wasn't his caution and prudence also for the sake of her reputation?

Thinking of this, Shen Jingyan was deeply moved.

She glanced at the clock on the wall; it was 8:30.

She had to patrol the forest at night after 10 p.m., and if she went out too early, she would have to endure the cold.

During that hour and a half, she tossed and turned, thinking about the upcoming "secret date," feeling both excited and nervous.

Finally, at ten o'clock, she dressed, put on her clothes and shoes, and tiptoed out the door.

[Author's Note]: Gu Zhiyun: Do you think it's easy for me to fall in love? Shouldn't you take advantage of me more in the next chapter?
