After persisting for a few days, Shi Lan felt that going back and forth like this was too troublesome, so she simply rolled up her blanket and settled down in the Hundred Herbs Garden.
More than a month passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Shi Lan had hardly seen Hao Ze, and Hao Ze seemed to have forgotten her as well. Shi Lan could only hear snippets about Hao Ze from Yun Pu, and of course, the fake Shi Lan was always mentioned in those snippets.
