"Song Zhi." Gu Huaijin scolded in a low voice, picked her up by the waist along her arms, stuffed her into the quilt, and covered her with the blanket.

"We'll talk about the rest later. Now, let's go to bed." After saying that, he turned off the lights in the room without waiting for Song Zhi to speak.

Song Zhi looked at the room that suddenly became dark, blinked, and stared at the person sleeping in front of him.

Gu Huaijin felt uncomfortable being stared at. He cleared his throat and asked, "Why aren't you sleeping?"

"What day is today?"

Gu Huaijin didn't want to answer, feeling it was a trap, so he just pretended not to hear and closed his eyes to rest.

"Gu Huaijin, if you feel that we are not suitable for each other, wait until I find a job and can support myself, and then we will go our separate ways. If there is a girl you like, then go to her..." Song Zhi thought that Gu Huaijin would be willing to accept this plan, after all, he disliked him so much.

"Song Zhi, do you like to treat marriage as a joke? I've never had a divorce, only widowhood. Don't mention divorce anymore, I don't want to hear these two words." Gu Huaijin was already impatient with what she was going to say next and interrupted her directly. If the lights hadn't been turned off, Song Zhi would have seen his angry expression at the moment. She always liked it this way, trying hard to get something she couldn't get, and then throwing it away once she got it.

She has never changed.

Until Gu Huaijin came back the next night, the two of them didn't say a word to each other. Everyone in the family seemed to notice the strange atmosphere.

"Zhizhi, what's going on between you and Xiaojin?" Song's mother asked a little anxiously. Shouldn't a newlywed couple be talking sweetly on the second day of their wedding? Why are they ignoring each other here?

Song Zhi also knew that it was her fault yesterday. She had just wanted to test Gu Huaijin's bottom line towards the original owner, whether she hated him or not, so that she could understand the degree to which she had achieved her goal. It was also her inconsiderateness that caused Gu Huaijin to explode at the slightest provocation and become so angry that she didn't speak to him even after talking to him several times today.

Song Zhi didn't want to bother with him anymore.

"It's okay, Mom. He has a bad temper. He used to have that bad temper too. You'll get used to it."

Song's mother looked at her strangely until Song Zhi saw Gu Huaijin standing behind her without her knowing when.

For a moment, her facial expression froze, then she quickly forced a smile, swallowed, and calmly asked, "What are you doing in the kitchen?"

"Pour some water." Song Zhi could not see any trace of anger on his face. He only saw the man say hello to Song's mother, pour the water, and then turn around and leave the kitchen.

Song Zhi raised a smiling face and followed him, his mouth opening and closing as he said something. When Song's mother saw the two of them like this, she felt relieved. It was really a situation where one was willing to fight and the other was willing to be beaten. She didn't know what she was worried about.

"Gu Huaijin, are you going to keep silent to me?" Song Zhi looked at the man in front of him pitifully and asked softly.

Gu Huaijin finally gave in despite her persistent pestering and said helplessly, "Song Zhi, do you know why I'm angry? I'm not mad at you for joking, but I'm mad at you for always talking about divorce. I hope you understand that marriage is a lifelong commitment, not a joke, let alone playing house. Don't talk about divorce so easily. Now that we're married, I want to live a good life, and I hope you can respect this marriage."

Then he sighed helplessly and said, "We're leaving tomorrow morning. Are you sure you don't want to pack your luggage first?"

Watching Gu Huaijin walk away from her with an expressionless face, Song Zhi stood behind him without moving for a while. She shouldn't have used divorce as a pretext to test him. It was her fault for blurting out hurtful words without thinking. She had just arrived here and was eager to complete the task and change the status quo without thinking it through, but ended up making things worse. Now she could only accept her fate and pack up her things first.

The next day, Mr. Gu did not go to work. He sat on the sofa and read the newspaper early in the morning.

"Dad, good morning." Song Zhi was panicked for a moment when he suddenly saw Gu's father sitting in the living room. This was the stress response of the original owner that remained in his body.

Mr. Gu is nearly fifty years old, but due to his work, he has maintained a relatively good body. There are only a few white hairs on his head, and the wrinkles on his face are not very obvious. People who don’t know his age might think he is almost forty years old, but the experience on his face can’t be deceived. When his eyes look at you, you can clearly feel a sense of oppression.

After all, although the original owner grew up in the Gu family, he rarely saw Gu's father and usually avoided him whenever possible.

Father Gu put down the newspaper, looked at Song Zhi, and smiled gently, "Well, eat first, and then let Xiao Zhao take you to the train station."

Song Zhi let out a light breath, responded with a smile, and ran to the dining table to eat. As soon as Gu Huaijin finished running and walked into the house, he was called to his side by his father.

"Song Zhi is a bit more volatile, but she's definitely better than the one from the Su family. Yitang is a good girl, but her parents... Old Yan came to me a few days ago and said the Su family wanted to move up a level. I took care of it, but your mother and I decided to let you know about this. Don't feel guilty about your grandfather's jokes. Now that you've married her, you should take responsibility."

Father Gu felt very proud when he looked at his son who was taller than him. At the age of 20, he already understood the righteousness of family and country. Kyoto was already very prosperous and did not need so many outstanding warriors to waste their time here. They should go to more difficult places to fight and make every place in the country more and more prosperous like Kyoto.
