Gu Rong waved to him until he was out of sight, then turned and went back into the courtyard.

For the next few days, Gu Rong just drifted along.

On the morning of the fifth day that Gu Rong had told Han Jianshu, before Gu Rong had even woken up, A Xi jumped out and said, "Master, Master, my level is high enough, I can send you away now."

Ah Xi was happy just thinking about how she could send her away and see the world in the future.

Gu Rong woke up groggily and looked at the excited A Xi: "Is that enough? Does that mean we can go back anytime?"

Ah Xi leaned close to Gu Rong and said excitedly, "Yes, host, if you want to go back, we can leave now. Shall we go?"

Suddenly realizing she had to leave, Gu Rong was actually a little reluctant, and she also had some things she hadn't arranged yet.

Gu Rong reached out and hugged A Xi, rubbing her gently: "I'm not leaving for now. I'll talk to you when I leave. Is there anything you want to do? You can do whatever you want today."

"I didn't really want to play around, I just wanted to follow you around. Can I stay away from the space all day?" It was really tired of being in the space lately.

It spends all its time inside eating, eating all day long. Now it's starting to feel nauseous at the sight of snacks.

Gu Rong was surprised that it only had this one request, and said with a smile, "Of course, you can do whatever you want today, and I can satisfy any desire you have."

Ah Xi jumped up excitedly in Gu Rong's arms: "Then I want to go outside and wander around! Anywhere is fine with me."

"Alright, let's have a good look around today," Gu Rong smiled helplessly, tidied up, and then took A Xi out the door.

At this time of day, everyone is at work, and those who aren't at work are mostly at home; there are very few people on the streets.

But since arriving here, Ah Xi hasn't had a proper chance to explore. She's either been following Gu Rong to gather information or absorbing energy in the space. She's always looking around, curious about everything, and excitedly chattering away.

Looking at its appearance, Gu Rong couldn't help but feel better.

While the two were at the supply and marketing cooperative, Gu Rong was walking along when A Xi suddenly stared intently in one direction. Gu Rong followed its gaze and saw that it had taken a liking to someone's candy.

Axi tugged at Gu Rong's sleeve and said pitifully, "Master, I want to eat candy."

Gu Rong smiled and led it over: "Which one do you want, or do you want to buy a little of each?"

"Mmm," Ah Xi nodded obediently, her eyes narrowing into slits with happiness.

Gu Rong bought a little of each kind, and then looked at the various candies in the space: "You like sweets so much?"

Thinking back to the candy the main system had given it, even though the candy it buys now can't compare, it still likes it.

Axi said somewhat shyly, "Mmm~ Eating sweets makes me feel good, don't you like it, host?"

"I like spicy food, the spicier the better," Gu Rong said with a smile, buying all kinds of candy from her space. "I bought a lot of candy and put it in your space. See which kind you like and I'll buy you some of them."

"I'll go in and take a look," Ah Xi said, her eyes sparkling, and she quickly slipped into the space to check.

After a while, it popped out excitedly: "Host, you're so good to me! I like fruit-flavored hard candy and milk-flavored soft candy!"

She'll be going back soon, but there's still an Ah-Xi waiting for her in that world. She doesn't know if this one will ever appear again. Since she likes it, she'll buy more.

Gu Rong nodded and noted down what A Xi liked, and then placed an order for quite a few more of what she liked.

The two strolled around the supply and marketing cooperative for a while before leaving for another place.

The important thing is that Gu Rong went to the place where she used to live, to Aunt Zhang's house.

Aunt Zhang, who was tidying up the yard, frowned when she saw Gu Rong coming over and asked, "Rongbao, what brings you here?"

"You're all alone, aren't you afraid of being kidnapped again? What if they kidnap you? You're such a worry."

Gu Rong hugged Aunt Zhang's leg and said coquettishly, "I missed you, Aunt, so I came to see you. The kidnapper has been arrested, so no one will arrest me. Besides, if he arrests me, I'll yell and scream and arrest them all."

Aunt Zhang rolled her eyes at her, squatted down and tapped her head: "You, you, you're such a worry."

Since you wanted me to come, you don't need to go back today. I'll have someone tell your mother that you won't be coming home for dinner, and she can pick you up after dinner tonight.

Gu Rong shook her head: "No, I just came to see you, I'm going home now."

As she spoke, Gu Rong put down what she was holding, turned around and ran outside: "This is what my mother asked me to give you, saying it's to thank you for taking care of me during this time. I'm leaving now, Auntie."

Seeing the bag that Gu Rong had taken out at some point, Aunt Zhang quickly picked it up and chased after her, calling out to Gu Rong, "Hey, hey, take your things away, take them away quickly."

Gu Rong turned around and waved to Aunt Zhang: "Here you go, don't send it back, or Mom will be angry."

After saying that, he ran out of the alley without looking back, with Aunt Zhang standing behind him sighing.

Looking down and opening the bag, he frowned as he saw the chicken, fish, meat, eggs, and plenty of candy inside: "Why did Rongxin give so much this time?"

Gouwa peered into the bag and, upon seeing that there was even candy, exclaimed, "Grandma, there's candy! And lots of meat too! Is it to thank you for saving Rongbao that day?"

While it was said that she was saving Rong Bao, it was actually Gu Rong who discovered the fire first that day. If she hadn't discovered it first, all the neighbors in the area would have been implicated.

If we're talking about saving people, it was Rong Bao who saved them!

After all, it was early morning, and most people were at work or shopping for groceries, so there was practically no one at home. If the fire had really started, everyone in the area would have been doomed.

So if we're talking about giving gifts, it should be them who gave them to the Gu family.

However, remembering what Rong Bao said, Rong Xin had sent it, and if she really sent it back, Rong Xin would be really angry.

It seems I'll have to find another way to return it, otherwise this would just be taking advantage of them.

Seeing her grandson's eager anticipation, Aunt Zhang pinched out a few pieces of candy for him: "Take this and share it with your younger siblings. You can eat the rest later."

"Mmm," Gouwa happily squeezed the candy and ran quickly into the yard to share it with his younger siblings.

Gu Rong, who had just left, went straight home after exiting the alley.

After all, in this world, apart from Rong Xin, Gu Xing, and the group of people who left the Rong family, the only one who is involved is Aunt Zhang.

So after looking around, I thought I'd buy her something as a way of thanking her for taking care of me during this time.
