Gu Xin chimed in, "That's right! Second Brother Xue still has to catch wild rabbits for us to eat from the mountains! He's busy!"
Upon hearing this, everyone laughed.
Xue Qianyu remained calm and reached out to take Gu Nian's hand: "Shall we continue our walk?"
Gu Nian nodded: "Okay."
Lu Zheng: "You just use us up and then throw us away. Typical Xue Er!"
Meng Meng: "I thought I'd see them kiss again. It's making me want to find a partner!"
Huo Junhao: "When it comes to women, people forget all humanity! Come on, let's go catch some fish in the river!"
Gu Si grabbed him and said, "Huo the Prodigy, you should save your breath. Although it's already January, the weather is still cold! You're going to Chunnan City with my father later. Are you going to catch a cold? Then I'll have my second uncle send someone else!"
Huo Junhao: "..."
I'm so annoyed that Sisi looks down on me!
Although the sun was shining brightly, the weather was indeed not suitable for catching fish in the river, so the group did not disturb Gu Nian and Xue Qianyu, and went off to play in the opposite direction from them.
As Gu Nian walked, she could no longer hear her sisters' voices. She turned around and looked at her hand, which was being held by Xue Qianyu: "On the first day of the Lunar New Year last year, the four of us sisters went to Jieyou Pavilion to play. We happened to run into General Ze, who was arresting soldiers from the water camp."
Xue Qianyu pulled her to sit on a flat, large rock. The river breeze blew, ruffling Gu Nian's hair. He reached out and tucked her hair back in: "And then Sister Huihui took a fancy to General Ze?"
Gu Nian felt a sweet warmth in her heart from his gesture and smiled, "No, my sister said that the first time she saw General Ze, she felt that this man was hers. That wasn't their first meeting."
Xue Qianyu nodded and looked at Gu Nian: "I really like Sister Huihui. I feel inexplicably close to her. Now I know why. It turns out we are the same kind of people."
Gu Nian blinked. "A kindred spirit? Don't think I don't understand. I don't believe you fell for me at first sight!"
Xue Qianyu seemed to understand her thoughts and smiled, "I remember the first time I saw you, you stared at me and said in front of the Emperor that you were looking at me because I was beautiful. Similarly, I also think you are beautiful. You are different from all the women I have ever met. From then on, you left a mark on my heart. Then, during the two times we spent together in the village, I felt that if I were to marry, I would only want you."
Gu Nian blushed slightly, recalling when she first met Xue Qianyu. She initially liked his looks, but unfortunately, after just a moment, she learned the handsome young man's name and that he was Xue Qianyu. Her resistance to the original book made her not want to get involved with him at all.
Looking back now, she feels incredibly foolish. She has also come to understand why she fell for Yan Mo in the first place: because Yan Mo is so much like Xue Qianyu.
But in terms of appearance, she always liked Xue Qianyu's type. Her initial attraction was delayed for several years because of that book.
Fortunately, although fate arranged some bad romantic encounters for her, it eventually sent the one she truly liked to her side.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Xue Qianyu asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Gu Nian smiled and said, "It's nothing. By the way, are you doing all this because your parents are coming?"
Xue Qianyu: "That's not entirely true. My parents coming over is one reason. I'm afraid they'll realize I like you and directly propose marriage to your family, but I haven't confirmed your feelings yet. Of course, the most important reason is that you're so naive. If I don't make things clear to you, I'm afraid you'll foolishly let other people confuse you."
