"My goodness! Brother Gu, you have super hearing! You can hear me from this far away!" Li Hao exclaimed excitedly. "I wish I had that skill too!"
Gu Liyan shook his head. "You'd better not think about it. You have no idea how painful it is."
Having excellent hearing is indeed a painful thing; you can hear everything from insects and birds to the whisper of a pin...
Gu Liyan had put in a lot of effort to hypnotize himself into sleep, and now that Li Hao is back, he'll probably excitedly recount everything that just happened...
"Brother Gu, let me tell you, I ran into a Deputy General Yang. Oh my, you didn't see it, he was so arrogant..."
Gu Liyan was speechless, and actually told him the whole story again!
"...Later, Xiao Lü discovered my intentions. She's not only beautiful but also kind-hearted. These two invitations were given to me by her! I must thank her properly next time we meet!" Li Hao's face was beaming with a bright smile.
Hearing this, Gu Liyan burst into laughter. "You little rascal, are you in love? You've fallen for that girl, haven't you?"
Li Hao blushed shyly, but did not deny it. Instead, he nodded and said, "What? I've reached the age where I should get married!"
Gu Liyan smiled wryly, "Liking someone requires a lot of sacrifice. Are you... ready?"

Gu Liyan smiled bitterly, "It wasn't me! You know Qingqing is from the palace, so it must have been the physicians who saved her after she returned to the palace, right?"
"Oh! That's possible!" Li Hao believed it.
"Alright, it's late. Go and rest in the next room," Gu Liyan said, dismissing him.
"Huh? Shouldn't we be sharing a room?" Li Hao asked, dumbfounded.
“My hearing is too good, I can’t sleep if you snore, go sleep in the next room!” Gu Liyan said.
"Alright." Li Hao nodded helplessly and walked out.
Gu Liyan thought he could finally get a good night's sleep after getting rid of Li Hao, but he was wrong...
"Snoring—"
The piercing, ear-piercing snoring sound still lingered in Gu Liyan's ears for a long time.
Gu Liyan had a splitting headache. "I should have made him sleep downstairs!"
