Lu Zheng returned to the Gu family home and quickly packed his belongings.
Cai Xiaolian and Gu Hui came over to say goodbye to him.
Cai Xiaolian gave him many instructions, just like a mother instructing her son on his journey.
Lu Zheng showed no impatience and nodded in agreement.
After Cai Xiaolian finished giving her instructions, Gu Hui said, "When you become a general, I'll come to your camp to learn from you!"
Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind words!"
After talking for so long, Gu Xin still hadn't appeared, so Lu Zheng knew that the girl must be reluctant to part with him again.
He wanted to leave immediately, but he was afraid that if he didn't, he would miss the opportunity.
However, he was certain that if he left without saying a word, Xiao Xinxin would probably ignore him for three years.
He told Cai Xiaolian and Gu Hui, and then went to Gu Xin's courtyard.
It's already early September, and it's getting a bit chilly at night.
Gu Xin sat by the window, eating sunflower seeds. When she was unhappy, food was the only thing that could soothe her.
Hearing the noise, Gu Xin looked up at Lu Zheng, then turned away and ignored him.
Lu Zheng closed the window, pulled up a stool and sat down next to her: "Xin Xin, we agreed last time that I would bring you to the capital to find your second uncle and aunt Lian, then you wouldn't miss me."
Gu Xin pursed her lips and remained silent.
Lu Zheng gently turned her around, making her face him, by her shoulders. "We agreed that we could write letters! I'll write to you every day. I'll tell you everything: what I do each day, what time and what hour I'm thinking about Xiao Xinxin, okay?"
Gu Xin sniffed: "But, when I think of you, Brother Yuanyuan, being so far away, I feel a little sad. I asked Brother-in-law Chen, and he said that Kuncheng is the gateway to our Great Zhou, surrounded by enemies on three sides, and war could break out at any time."
The "brother-in-law Chen" she mentioned is Lu Xue's husband, Chen Yujiang, who is currently the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review.
Lu Zheng cursed his brother-in-law in his heart, and then said, "I promised Second Uncle that I would protect my life, so I will definitely be fine."
Gu Xin hesitated for a moment, then held up her finger: "Then don't lie to me! You have to write me a letter every month, telling me what you're doing every day."
Lu Zheng reached out and hooked his arm around her: "Okay! I promise!"
Gu Xin sighed, stood up, and took Lu Zheng's hand: "Brother Yuanyuan, let me see you out!"
Lu Zheng squeezed her hand: "Xin Xin, I promise you, I will be fine. When I come back, when you come of age, I will tell you who my sweetheart is, that beautiful, lovely, smart, generous girl with sweet, crescent-shaped eyes when she smiles, okay?"
Gu Xin was taken aback.
Lu Zheng hugged Gu Xin briefly, then gently said, "Okay, I'm leaving. Wait for me to come back!"
After saying that, he left quickly, as if afraid that if he heard Gu Xin's voice, he wouldn't want to leave.
It took Gu Xin a while to come to her senses. She chased after him, but he was nowhere to be found.
Her tears flowed uncontrollably again. She really left, and she wouldn't see Yuan Yuan for a very, very long time!
Besides, she didn't want to know who his sweetheart was.
She herself is beautiful, cute, smart, generous, and has sweet, crescent-shaped eyes when she smiles!
Why doesn't Brother Yuanyuan let her be his sweetheart?
Are we going to tell her this cruel thing when she comes of age and is old enough to get married?
Bad guy Zhou Yuan, bad guy Lu Zheng!
My sister was so happy at her coming-of-age ceremony, but I'm going to win over Yuan Yuan's sweetheart at mine. How heartbreaking!
