Gu Nian has already packed up.
She wasn't shy at all; she just felt that Yan Mo was someone who could move her heart, and she was willing to dress up for him—after all, a woman dresses up for the one she pleases!
Yan Mo was stunned for a moment when he saw Gu Nian, but only for a moment.
He gave gifts to his three sisters, and when he noticed that his elders weren't home, he decided to leave.
Gu Nian tried to persuade him to stay: "General Yan, you've come all this way, why don't you have dinner before you leave?"
Yan Mo gave Gu Nian a deep look, then said, "Military affairs are busy, so I won't stay any longer. However, I would like to speak with Miss Gu Nian alone for a few minutes. Is that alright?"
Gu Nian smiled: "Of course! Let's talk over in the corridor, it's quite cool there!"
Gu Nian carried the tea and snacks and led Yan Mo to the long corridor.
It is indeed cool in the corridor.
Huo Junhao had been craving snacks for a while. He nudged Gu Si with his finger, and Gu Si immediately understood and led him to the kitchen to eat some snacks.
Only Gu Xin and Lu Zheng remained at the entrance of the main room.
Gu Xin sat on the threshold, resting her chin on her hands and looking down into the corridor. She couldn't hear what they were saying over there.
Lu Zheng sat down next to Gu Xin, glanced at the corridor, and then turned back to look at Gu Xin: "Xin Xin, you seem quite unhappy! What's wrong?"
Gu Xin pursed her lips and frowned: "I think General Yan doesn't like my sister. She's so smart, but it's like she can't understand him."
Lu Zheng laughed and said, "Can you even tell who likes whom?"
Gu Xin nodded: "Of course I can tell! For example, Brother Mu Yan likes my sister. And Xu Changfeng liked my sister before. Brother Yun Gui also likes my sister. My sister doesn't like them, just like General Yan doesn't like her."
Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow, wanting to say that apart from Li Muyan, the others here don't like your current sister, but rather your former sister.
Gu Xin tilted her head and looked at Lu Zheng: "Brother Yuanyuan, do you have someone you like?"
Lu Zheng was taken aback, then nodded: "Yes!"
Gu Xin's eyes widened in surprise: "Who is it? I haven't seen you getting close to any other girls in the past six months. Are you secretly in love with someone?"
Lu Zheng nodded: "That's right! I secretly like a silly girl, but she doesn't know!"
Gu Xin: "Then why don't you tell her? Ask her if she likes you too. If you like each other, you can get married at this age!"
Lu Zheng smiled helplessly: "Because I have nothing! I'm afraid she'll suffer, afraid she'll be tired, afraid of losing her. I promised her that I would give her a grand wedding and make her the happiest girl in the world. I can't do it now, but I'll do it in five years. In five years, I'm sure I can do it."
Gu Xin held out her palm: "Five years? Five years! If that girl is the same age as you, she'll be twenty-one in five years. What if she can't wait five years and gets married? Brother Yuanyuan, this is wrong of you. You have to fight for her. You have to tell her to wait for you."
Lu Zheng nodded: "Okay, I'll tell her when I have the chance, and tell her to wait for me."
Gu Xin nodded in satisfaction, then asked curiously, "Brother Yuanyuan, what kind of girl is your sweetheart? Is she pretty? Gentle? Tall? Can she read and write? Does she know martial arts? My parents told me that women can be just as capable as men. Is your sweetheart like that?"
