Xue Qianyu sat down next to Gu Nian smugly and even raised an eyebrow at Lu Zheng provocatively.
Peng Ze joined in the fun, saying, "Second Sister is absolutely right."
Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian both looked at Lu Zheng with smiles, while Lu Zheng looked at Gu Xin with a wronged expression.
Gu Xin waved her hand innocently: "Brother Yuanyuan, it's not my fault! Who told you to bully Brother Xue? Don't worry, if anyone bullies you, I'll help you too."
Lu Zheng: "Then your second sister bullied me!"
Gu Xin blinked: "But my second sister isn't just anyone!"
"Hahahaha..."
Everyone in the room laughed.
...
That evening, Gu Xin and Lu Zheng planned to go to the rooftop to look at the stars and chat for a while. After that, there would definitely be several countries negotiating, and Lu Zheng, Peng Ze, and Xue Qianyu would be participating as generals from the Great Zhou side, so the two of them probably wouldn't have much time to spend alone together.
It was the same rooftop where Lu Zheng had been the night before he decided to go to Yunhai.
The two lay on the roof, watching the twinkling stars in the sky, feeling incredibly content.
"Brother Yuanyuan, how long will it take for the meeting to reach a conclusion?" Gu Xin asked.
"Do you want to go back quickly?" Lu Zheng asked.
"Yes. I miss my grandpa and grandma, I miss Grandma Xiao, I miss my uncle, I miss Renren, I miss Sister Yumei, I miss so many people!" Gu Xin admitted.
“Under normal circumstances, it will take about half a month! There are still ten days left in March, so this matter won't be finished until early April at the earliest. We need to set off by the end of April at the earliest. Returning from Liusha Kingdom will take at least forty days, and at most two months. So, we won't be able to return to Kun City until June.” Lu Zheng explained the plan to Gu Xin.
"June! I've been away from home for a year and eight months. My younger brothers can all walk now, but I don't even know if they recognize me!" Gu Xin sighed.
“I recognize him, I definitely recognize him…” Before Lu Zheng could finish speaking, the two heard Gu Yingxue’s voice. He stopped, sat up, and looked towards Cheng Huaijin’s room.
Gu Xin also sat up.
Her courtyard was separated from Cheng Huaijin's by only one wall, and she could clearly see what was happening in Cheng Huaijin's courtyard from the rooftop.
"Brother Xiao Jin, I've come to see my sister." Gu Yingxue stood at the gate of the courtyard.
"Hmm." Cheng Huaijin appeared in the courtyard and responded.
Gu Yingxue went inside, but Cheng Huaijin didn't follow. He looked up and saw Lu Zheng and Gu Xin with gossipy expressions.
He gave a few instructions to his attendants and then flew up to the roof.
"Brother Yuan, Xin Xin, sorry to bother you!" Cheng Huaijin said with a smile as he sat down next to Lu Zheng.
"You knew you were bothering me, yet you still came!" Lu Zheng glared at Cheng Huaijin, annoyed.
Gu Xin chuckled beside her.
"It's more fun when there are more people! I only get along well with Brother Yuan, Xin Xin, and Brother Xue! There have been too many people these past two days, so I haven't had a proper chat with you guys," Cheng Huaijin said shamelessly.
He truly hasn't changed at all in front of Gu Xin and Lu Zheng.
"I heard that Xue'er once thought about marrying you. What do you think?" Lu Zheng asked, voicing the gossip Gu Xin had been wanting to know.
“Brother Yuan, don’t talk nonsense.” Cheng Huaijin shook his head. “Miss Xue’er felt that she owed Xiaoyu a life and wanted to repay Yun Ge’er with her life. She took a knife for me before, so she repaid it. So, this matter is over.”
After saying that, he looked at Gu Xin: "Xin Xin, I didn't even realize you were such a gossip! The key is, you've even learned to gossip secretly."
