Lord Liu introduced several people to Gu Xin and the others, then took them to their lodgings before leaving.
Gu Xin's room is next to Zheng Qiu's room, while Bai Yi and Bai Er are in another small courtyard.
"Xinxin, you seem unhappy all of a sudden. Did something unpleasant happen to you?" Zheng Qiu asked with concern after Bai Yi and Bai Er left.
“I’m reminded of a friend of mine, a very, very good friend. She was my first friend,” Gu Xin said with a sigh.
Zheng Qiu didn't ask any more questions, but simply opened his arms and hugged her.
"I'm fine." Gu Xin leaned on Zheng Qiu's shoulder for a moment, and then said, "Xiao Yu's next life will definitely be smooth and fulfilling, and she will be able to get everything she was missing. My sister often says that I am very accurate in everything I say, which is something I especially hope I can be accurate in saying."
"Mm." Zheng Qiu nodded, then released Gu Xin.
"Xiao Qiu, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you must tell me, okay? Don't take risks on your own, okay?" Gu Xin looked at Zheng Qiu and said earnestly.
“Okay, I promise you.” Zheng Qiu nodded solemnly, then joked, “I have Princess Xin Xin backing me up, so I’m not afraid of anything.”
They've known each other for almost four months, and Zheng Qiu has indeed come to regard Gu Xin as a friend. The usually serious Zheng Qiu has even started joking with Gu Xin, which is quite rare for her.
“Yes, don’t be afraid! With me here, there’s nothing to be afraid of. If there’s a problem I can’t solve, I still have my parents, my grandparents, my sister and brother-in-law, and of course, my brother Yuanyuan. My brother Yuanyuan is very capable,” Gu Xin said with a smile.
“Alright! If I encounter any problems in the future that I can’t solve, I’ll ask Xin Xin. If Xin Xin can’t solve them, she can help me find Lord Gu or Prince Lu. Anyway, I’m shameless!” Zheng Qiu nodded.
Both girls laughed.
Gu Xin likes Zheng Qiu quite a bit. Even now, Zheng Qiu won't ask Xiao Yu what's wrong or why she's so sad.
Her words and actions were quite reassuring.
Therefore, Gu Xin likes this friend.
The two chatted about other things for a while, then went back to their rooms to rest.
...
When Gu Xin woke up, it was already afternoon, and she was hungry as soon as she woke up.
"Third Miss, you're awake? Are you hungry? I'll go to the kitchen to get you something to eat. The cook has prepared millet porridge and some side dishes." Dongxue saw that the bed had moved and quickly went over. When she saw that Gu Xin had opened her eyes, she called out softly.
"Dongxue, you're here!" Gu Xin sat up, rubbed her eyes, and looked at Dongxue, saying, "You must have been bored at the Prince's Mansion these past few days. Now that we're not busy, we can go out and play. When Enzi arrives in Taizhou, he can take us sightseeing."
“I’m not bored. I feel at ease being by Third Miss’s side,” Dongxue said.
"Really? So, for the next few days, I went out to play with Xiao Qiu, Bai Yi, and Bai Er, and you stayed in this villa?" Gu Xin teased her.
"Huh? This..." Dongxue looked completely innocent.
"Alright, I was just kidding. Go and bring the food over. By the way, are Xiao Qiu, Bai Yi, and Bai Er awake yet?" Gu Xin pinched Dong Xue's cheek and asked.
"Both of the White Guards are awake and fishing by the pond. They've already eaten. I haven't seen Young Master Zheng yet. Should I go and call him?" Dongxue said softly, her face flushed.
"You go ahead and get the food. I'll go call Xiao Qiu," Gu Xin said as she put on her shoes.
