As Lu Zheng rode his horse, he kept thinking about Gu Xin. He had imagined many scenarios of their reunion, but none of them were like this.
In the bitterly cold winter, Xin Xin, dressed in red, ran out of the city gate like a fireball, turning the cold wind into a warm breeze and warming his heart.
The girl had grown a little taller than when we last met, her face seemed a little thinner, and her hair seemed to have grown a little longer.
He hadn't seen Xin Xin dressed up as a pretty girl in a long time.
He spurred his horse on, and as he approached the girl, he reined in his horse and dismounted.
She stretched out her hands, her eyes crinkling with laughter.
"Brother Yuanyuan!" Gu Xin ran towards Lu Zheng, and jumped up as she got closer.
Lu Zheng caught her, put his hands under Gu Xin's armpits, and spun her around in his arms.
Gu Xin's joyful laughter drifted away on the wind, seemingly audible to the soldiers behind her.
After circling around a few times, Lu Zheng put her down, steadied himself, and reached out to touch Gu Xin's forehead: "Hmm, my Xin Xin has been eating well and has grown taller again!"
Gu Xin tilted her head and smiled, "Of course! If I don't grow taller, I'll look like a little kid in front of Brother Yuanyuan, and that won't do!"
Lu Zheng: "Yes, yes, in a little while, our Xin Xin will be a fourteen-year-old young lady! Hmm, what does a fourteen-year-old young lady want?"
Gu Xin looked completely innocent, her expression devoid of any emotion: "I want Brother Yuanyuan!"
Well……
Lu Zheng would involuntarily recall the story Huo Junhao had told him about Gu Hui and Peng Ze.
Damn it, Xin Xin is still so young, don't let your imagination run wild!
Lu Zheng changed the subject: "Xin Xin, wait for me! I'll give some instructions, then I'll go into the city with you!"
Gu Xin was completely oblivious to Lu Zheng's awkward change of topic. She nodded happily and then naturally took Lu Zheng's hand.
Lu Zheng's hands were warm, and Gu Xin's hands were also warm.
Two equally warm-hearted people have already given each other sunshine. Even if life gets cold in the future, they can still live a warm and sunny life.
Like a young man experiencing his first love, Lu Zheng felt his heart race and his blood boil the moment Gu Xin took his hand.
This is the first time I've experienced this before, whether it's a past life or a present one.
Love in a past life begins with initial contact, which develops over time. The first encounter in this life carries the emotions from that past life.
His heart was riddled with holes.
At this moment, he felt a stirring of emotion that a young man should never have experienced before.
He looked down at Gu Xin, and Gu Xin looked up at him, her bright smile reflected in Lu Zheng's eyes.
Lu Zheng knew that he would never escape those eyes in his entire life, and would always be captivated by them.
Lu Zheng smiled in response, then naturally took Gu Xin's hand, turned to Meng Meng and instructed him to first lead the army around from outside the city to the northern camp, where they would await further instructions.
Meng Meng obeyed, then waved to Gu Xin and whispered, "Third Miss, tell the old master, the old lady, and Second Uncle that I'll be going to see them in a little while. I've prepared a lot of good things!"
Gu Xin nodded: "Okay, Brother Meng!"
Meng Meng led the people behind him to the side road.
Part of the Northern Camp was inside Kuncheng, and part was outside Kuncheng. The strongest defense of Kuncheng was the north side, because tens of thousands of soldiers of the Northern Camp lived there.
Lu Zheng held Gu Xin's hand in one hand and led the horse in the other, walking towards the city gate.
