Lu Zheng suddenly stood up straight and looked up at the sky.
He didn't know why, but he just wanted to cry. He usually doesn't cry now that he's grown up.
His little girl just said very seriously, "I will never abandon you in this lifetime," and he felt like crying.
"Third sister, how did you fall down? You scared me to death! Are you hurt?" Because she was far away, Gu Si only saw the two of them fall down and didn't see anything else. She simply thought that the two of them had just fallen down.
"It's nothing! Hehe... Oh, it's just that our kite fell down!" Gu Xin shook her head somewhat guiltily.
Sisi is a bit more naive than Hanhan, so she probably didn't see that she kissed Yuanyuan just now, right?
"Oh, Third Sister, why are you still concerned about kites! Brother Yuan, you... wait, Brother Yuan, what are you looking at? What's in the sky?" Gu Si said as she looked at Lu Zheng, and then noticed that he looked a little strange.
Lu Zheng took a deep breath, then regained his composure and smiled, "I'm checking the sky. It looks like it'll be sunny for several days! Let's go, it's getting late, let's head back!"
So the group started walking back.
On the way back, Lu Zheng and Gu Xin drove the carriage, while Bai Er rode a horse.
Lu Zheng pulled on the reins, and Gu Xin took out the rice ball she had brought, turning to the side: "Brother Yuanyuan, open your mouth!"
Lu Zheng smiled and opened his mouth, and Gu Xin fed him a rice ball.
And then there are snacks.
After feeding her a few times, she suddenly discovered the joy of feeding her. You see, in the past, she would sit and eat, and Yuan Yuan would just take the food and feed it to her!
Wow, this is so much fun!
There's a sense of satisfaction in watching someone you like eat heartily the food you feed them; it's very fulfilling!
It was already dark when they returned to Kuncheng. They first took Meng Yan and Zheng Ling back to Xincheng, and then drove back to the yamen.
After greeting the Gu family members one by one, Lu Zheng left. He hadn't forgotten his important business; he needed to remind General Peng about the strangeness of the cave.
...
On the third day of the second lunar month, before dawn, Gu Xin, who was supposed to be doing her morning exercise, was nowhere to be seen.
Gu Shouxin frowned. This little girl is getting more and more outrageous!
Gu Nian spoke up for her sister, saying, "Dad, let Xin Xin go! Bai Er will bring her back soon. A Yuan said he'd be able to come back twice a quarter, but who knows what will happen at the front lines!"
Gu Shouxin knew this was the case, but how could he give his whole heart to someone else now? He hoped that his son-in-law could be wholeheartedly devoted to his daughter, but that his daughter wouldn't be so devoted and would keep some for herself.
Don't call him selfish and hypocritical. He's a man, and he understands very well about relationships. He knows how much it hurts a woman if a man isn't wholeheartedly devoted to her.
However, he didn't say anything in the end, thinking that he would often ask their mother to teach them some things in the future, that they should always leave themselves a way out in matters of the heart, and not entrust all their thoughts to men.
At this moment, Gu Xin and Bai Er were riding their horses and hiding at the back of the group. After they left the city gate, the group stopped, and Lu Zheng turned his horse around and headed back.
Gu Xin flashed a big smile: "Brother Yuanyuan, we agreed yesterday that I would take you to that cave and then come back. Can you let me take you?"
Lu Zheng glanced in the direction of the city gate, then looked helplessly at Gu Xin: "Alright, let's get to the cave. Don't go too far. I'll give you something in a bit; take it back with you, and your second uncle promises not to scold you!"
