On the way back, the atmosphere was a bit tense. Liu Nian held back for a moment but still asked him, "Gu Minhang, do you like me too?" She really wanted to know the answer.
The task is progressing way too slowly.
Gu Minhang looked at her quietly, without speaking, nodding or shaking his head.
At this moment, Liu Nian couldn't understand what was in his eyes, nor did she understand what Gu Minhang was thinking.
After about five minutes of silence, Liu Nian thought he wouldn't answer, but Gu Minhang spoke up.
"Niannian, do you really like me?"
Liu Nian nodded vigorously: "Really."
Gu Minhang lowered his gaze and stared into her eyes, as if trying to see something in Liu Nian's eyes.
He watched the years pass by as they pleased.
Anyway, she spoke so earnestly that all he saw was the seriousness in her eyes.
What about you? What do you think of me?
Gu Minhang pursed his lips and pondered for a moment: "Can we wait a little longer?" After saying that, he was afraid that Liu Nian would misunderstand something, so he thought for a moment and added: "After we get to know each other better, we can be together, okay?"
System: "Host, this looks promising!"
Liu Nian: "Hmm!"
System: "Say yes quickly."
fleeting time:"……"
After observing Gu Minhang closely for a while, I noticed that his expression was very serious, and he even seemed a little nervous.
"Okay." As if possessed, Liu Nian agreed.
In the end, she'll still have to win him over; he'll be hers sooner or later.
Gu Minhang smiled: "Then let's start by being friends, okay?"
"good."
And so, under the guise of friendship, the two of them shuttled back and forth between the two courtyards every day.
They've reached the point where they're more than friends but not quite lovers.
When it comes to studying, it's always Gu Minhang who helps Liu Nian. On the other hand, he himself is a dual cultivator, yet he dedicates a lot of time to Liu Nian every day, just so that Liu Nian's classmates know that he exists in her life.
A semester has passed in the blink of an eye.
They'll be juniors next semester.
At the end of the second semester of my sophomore year, Liu Nian earned two certificates through her own efforts.
As an exchange student, she can't be too bad.
Summer vacation lasts for about two months.
Liu Nian, the daughter who had been left to her own devices by the Liu family, was unexpectedly summoned back to the Liu family a week after the summer vacation.
When Liu Nian called from the Liu family, she was discussing a problem with Gu Minhang.
"You're on vacation, right? Come home tomorrow." These were the words of Liu Yansheng, Liu Nian's father in this world.
Liu Nian pursed her lips and replied indifferently, "I understand."
Gu Minhang remained silent the moment she answered the phone. Seeing her cold attitude, he asked after she hung up, "What's wrong?"
Liu Nian shook her head: "It's nothing. My dad asked me to go home tomorrow. I don't know what it's about."
Gu Minhang didn't know how the Liu family treated her, so he didn't ask any questions. He simply said, "Where do you live? I'll take you there."
"No need, I can go back by myself," Liu Nian said, continuing the discussion.
Silently, he asked the system, "What's going on with the Liu family? Why are they suddenly calling me back?"
System: "After testing, no issues were found with the Liu family."
Fleeting Years: "Will the shooting star go back?"
System: "Host, this is outside the scope of this system's predictions."
Liu Nian: "Oh."
Gu Minhang looked at the earnest Liu Nian with gentle eyes: "Niannian, would you like some juice?"
Liu Nian wanted to say no, but seeing his eyes, she nodded and said, "Yes."
Gu Minhang stood up. "I'll go make you some juice. Take a good look at it first."
"OK."
That evening, Liu Nian received a message from Liu Xing.
Meteor: [Dad told you to come home, right?]
Liu Nian: [Yes, my sister will be home tomorrow too, right?]
Meteor: [Yes, your sister will pick you up tomorrow.]
Liu Nian thought it was a good idea, saving her the trouble of taking a taxi herself.
Time Flies: [Okay, Sister]
After agreeing on a time, Liu Nian saw that it was almost time, sent Gu Minhang a goodnight message, and then went to sleep.
Gu Minhang also replied with a goodnight message.
Then he sat in the study, deep in thought.
The next morning, Meteor arrived very quickly; Liu Nian was still asleep when she got there.
"Xiao Nian, get up." Liu Xing knew the door code for Liu Nian's house, so she didn't need to ring the doorbell and just came in by herself.
He woke up groggily, and looking at the beautiful woman in front of him with her excellent looks and temperament, Liu Nian was a little taken aback.
He asked blankly, "Beautiful lady, who are you?"
Meteor was stunned by her words and didn't react for a moment before bursting out laughing.
"You brat, you don't even remember your older sister? Have you fallen asleep and become stupid?"
Oh! It was just a shooting star.
Liu Nian instantly snapped out of it, looking at Liu Xing with a slightly embarrassed expression as she scratched her head: "Sister!"
"Okay, get up quickly, wash up and change your clothes. We need to get back soon."
"Okay, okay." With that, she jumped out of bed and headed straight for the bathroom.
The two arrived at the Liu family's old house close to noon.
Once inside, Liu Nian realized there were quite a few people. She glanced at Liu Xing and saw that she looked calm and composed, giving her a reassuring look.
I'm not afraid of the passing years, I just don't know what the situation is like offline, why so many people are gathered together.
At this moment, everyone in the room was already seated at a long table, on which were laid out many dishes, probably around a hundred.
The person sitting in the main seat was a middle-aged man who looked quite like Meteor. His deep voice rang out: "You've arrived, please take a seat!"
Meteor and Year sat in the two empty seats in the middle. No one spoke and no one touched their chopsticks.
During this time, Liu Nian secretly glanced at the people sitting at the dining table. There were more than twenty people in total, including men, women, young and old.
