Cheng Huaiyu subconsciously withdrew her hand: "I only started learning to make embroidery lines last year. This is my first piece. Xinxin, here you go."
The slight discomfort Gu Xin felt because of Yin Yueli vanished instantly.
She took the handkerchief, opened it to look at it, then carefully folded it and put it in her bag. She reached out and hugged Xiaoyu: "Thank you, Xiaoyu."
Cheng Huaiyu leaned on Gu Xin's shoulder and then saw Lu Zheng scattering flower seeds on the other side of the lake. She let go of Gu Xin and stood up straight: "Xin Xin, let Sixth Brother and I help you too! Can we just scatter them casually like Young Master Zhou?"
Gu Xin nodded: "Yes, just scatter them like that. These seeds are very resilient and will definitely grow."
Cheng Huaiyu grabbed a handful of seeds, took a few steps forward, and then opened her hand. A gentle breeze blew, scattering the seeds in her hand and also ruffling her hair and the hem of her skirt.
Peng Mu stared intently at Cheng Huaiyu; she was truly beautiful.
Because Gu Xin had two more people with her, she was able to move faster than Lu Zheng, who was alone.
Gu Xin waved the empty bag at Lu Zheng, who was slowly walking towards them, and said, "Brother Yuanyuan, let's finish scattering first!"
Lu Zheng looked at Gu Xin and said, "Ugh, I'm so tired! I wish someone could help me right now!"
Gu Xin grabbed the bag and ran over.
Then the two of them continued scattering the powder together, laughing.
Cheng Huaiyu said to Gu Si with envy, "Sisi, Young Master Zhou is just like Xinxin's older brother. Just like my brother treats me. Xinxin is so lucky to have a brother who loves her."
Gu Xin tilted her head and said with some surprise, "Sister Xiaoyu, Brother Yuan is not Third Brother's older brother, so he treats you differently than Brother Jin."
Cheng Huaiyu was taken aback, then laughed and said, "Oh, is that so! I just felt that Young Master Zhou treated Xinxin like my brother treated me. Turns out it wasn't like that. It seems I missed my brother too much."
Peng Mu stepped forward and patted Cheng Huaiyu on the shoulder: "Xiaoyu, don't be sad."
Gu Si pursed her lips, feeling that something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
After Gu Xin and Lu Zheng finished sowing the seeds, she pulled Lu Zheng over and said, "Brother Yuanyuan, look, it's Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu!"
Cheng Huaiyu bowed to Lu Zheng, saying, "Thank you so much, Young Master Zhou, for saving our lives. My brother told me that without you, my sister and I would not have survived. I have always kept this great kindness in my heart, and I have no way to repay it..."
Gu Xin interrupted Cheng Huaiyu, jokingly saying, "Xiaoyu, 'I have no way to repay you,' the next line is 'I'll repay you with my body.' Don't you dare! Yuanyuan is mine, no one can repay him with their body, and neither can you. Hehe~"
She knew the next line might be "to be someone's slave," and she didn't want Xiaoyu to be someone's slave. Besides, her older sister had said that when it comes to someone you like, you have to assert your ownership, especially if that person is outstanding. And of course, her brother Yuanyuan is outstanding!
Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Miss Cheng, you misunderstand. Back then, I just didn't want to see Xin Xin sad. I did all these things because of Xin Xin, so please don't hold it against me. Also, let's not mention it again in the future. After all, it wouldn't be good for me if the government found out the whole story."
He spoke with a smile, but his eyes were devoid of any emotion, even showing a hint of indifference, as if he had merely helped Gu Xin rescue a kitten or puppy.
Cheng Huaiyu was hurt by Lu Zheng's gaze. She smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything more. Instead, she took Gu Xin's arm and said, "Thank you, Xin Xin. I can never repay Xin Xin's kindness in this lifetime. So, Xin Xin, please do anything for me in the future. I won't feel at ease if you don't let me do something."
Gu Xin patted Cheng Huaiyu's hand: "Okay! We're going to sow seeds in the trading area this afternoon, let's go together!"
