The Nanjiang River, the largest river in the Great Zhou Dynasty, flows through several counties in Qingzhou Prefecture, as well as the prefecture itself.
If this heavy rain continues for a while, places like Qingzhou Prefecture will likely suffer from disaster.
That night, Gu Xin had a dream, just like before, a dream where she had grown up.
In her dream, she was still in that beautiful courtyard, holding the puppy, as if she was thinking about something.
Her maid came over and invited her to play, saying that she had been sitting like that for several days.
Unable to resist the maid's nagging, she joined everyone in playing hide-and-seek.
At first, the maidservant blindfolded her and grabbed her, and then it became her blindfolded.
She wasn't worried at all, because her little dog always helped her find her; wherever the dog barked, that's where she was.
Suddenly a man in armor appeared, and the little dog ran to his feet, barking incessantly.
She laughed in her dream, amused that there was such a silly girl who didn't know to move.
She ran over excitedly, but her foot suddenly tripped over a protruding pebble, and she lost her balance and fell to the side.
The man in armor steadily supported her, took her hand, and complained, "Why aren't you watching where you're going?"
In her dream, she paused for a moment, then untied the blindfold, a smile immediately appearing on her face. She reached out and hugged the man in full armor: "I'm blindfolded, I can't see the road! I know you'll never let me fall."
The armored man hugged her tightly: "I'm here, I'll never let you fall, but I'm not in the capital, so you have to protect yourselves, okay?"
After saying that, he picked her up horizontally.
She wrapped her arms around the man's neck, her smile brighter than the sunshine, as radiant as a blooming flower.
Gu Xin knew she was dreaming, and she knew that she was truly happy and content in her dream. But who was that man?
...
When I woke up the next morning, it was still raining outside.
Gu Xin stretched her body, not wanting to disturb her parents and sister, and went to the kitchen by herself.
"Sister Xin, you got up without waking me? Are you going to cook? I'll help you!" Gu Si came to the kitchen in a daze and approached Gu Xin.
"Sisi, let's wash up first, comb our hair, and get dressed before we cook. I came over to see if Dad's back yet. Touch the stove, it's still warm; they must have just gone to bed. Come on, let's wash up first," Gu Xin said.
"Oh." Gu Si brushed her teeth and washed her face with Gu Xin, and then planned to go back to her room to comb her hair.
After so much time, Gu Xin can now comb her own hair, and not only that, she can also comb Gu Si's hair.
“If my face were a little rounder, we would look even more alike! Sisi, your round face is so pretty!” After combing Gu Si’s hair, the two sisters looked in the mirror together, and Gu Xin exclaimed.
“Sister Xinxin, if you eat more rice, you’ll grow bigger. Grandpa said you need to eat meat,” Gu Si said.
"No, my face won't be round when I grow up." Gu Xin thought of all the dreams she had of herself when she was all grown up. In her dreams, she was pretty, but her face was never round.
"How did you know? Don't be discouraged. I'll tell you what I like to eat next time, and you'll definitely get rounder after eating it," Gu Si comforted her.
"Sigh!" Gu Xin sighed. It probably wouldn't happen. She couldn't turn into a round-faced girl. How frustrating!
At the doorway, Gu Ren stood there dumbfounded. He had already overheard his sisters' conversation and looked at Gu Xin with a puzzled expression: She likes round faces? Don't girls usually prefer slim faces? Could there be something wrong with his female lead's character design?
"Renren, you're awake! Where are Mom and brother?" Gu Si ran over when she saw Gu Ren.
