Guoguo turned pale with fright.
An Yuan'er never expected that her father and brother would assign Guo Guo such a task.
An Yuan'er patted Guo Guo: "Silly girl, don't cry, Miss didn't lie to you."
Guoguo then stopped crying and started to smile.
An Yuan'er thought, what's all this about? She's still a child! She wouldn't do anything reckless.

Back in her room, An Yuan'er saw that the Divine Arrow had been added to the room.
Guoguo explained, "The Sixth Prince said that this was won by Miss, so it should rightfully be given to her."
So many people were vying for the Divine Arrow, yet Yi Chenli just gave it to her like that. Probably no one could have guessed that this bow and arrow used by the founding emperor would end up in An Yuan'er's hands after all these twists and turns.
Once Yi Chenli gives something away, he never takes it back.
"Guoguo, accept it. Put it in the cabinet."
She smiled as she put the divine arrow away: "This bow and arrow have a special meaning. They will be part of Miss's dowry. With such a wonderful thing, Miss won't have to worry about getting married well."
Marrying? An Yuan'er doesn't seem to have seriously considered this question yet.
What kind of person does she want to marry?
She thought: He must be extremely handsome, just like Yi Chenli, with striking features and captivating eyes. He also needs to be talented and skilled in martial arts to protect her. And he has to be incredibly wealthy, since she's a spendthrift girl.
After thinking it over and over, it seems that a figure has already popped into my mind.
No one met these conditions better than him.
An Yuan'er pulled the pillow over to cover her flushed cheeks.
I can't think about him anymore.
Yi Chenli, what are you doing in my head? Are you trying to rebel? An Yuan'er shook her head, banishing all the terrible thoughts.
Guoguo tilted her head and looked the young lady up and down, then suddenly said, "Miss, do you know what you look like right now?"
"What?" An Yuan'er asked instinctively.
Guoguo said very seriously, "Like in the stories, a woman who has fallen in love. When she closes her eyes, all she can think about is her sweetheart."
An Yuan'er never expected that the most careless Guo Guo would so easily touch upon her innermost thoughts.
She threw the pillow in her arms at Guoguo in embarrassment and anger: "At such a young age, you're reading such indecent novels. You're not allowed to read them anymore."
Guoguo said innocently, "These storybooks were given to me by Miss. I'm innocent."
"You brat, you dare to talk back! If you don't listen, I'll send you back to the manor."
Guoguo lowered her head, still unaware of what she had said wrong, and could only say: "Miss has not fallen in love. Miss's cheeks are just flushed, her eyes are sparkling... and she didn't come home all night."
"You stupid girl, you're so stupid, how dare you say that?" An Yuan'er was determined to be driven crazy by this silly girl.
"Guoguo dared not say it."
"Go and fetch a basin of water."
Guoguo finally went out, and An Yuan'er touched her burning cheeks and looked at herself in the bronze mirror.
"Is my face really that red?"
It seemed, it appeared, that was indeed the case. Her heart was pounding like a drum; she seemed to have truly, truly fallen in love.

The medication for the bruises on my body needs to be applied for several more days.
For the next few days, Yi Chenli helped her apply the medicine.
It's the same as before: applying the medicine while blindfolded.
Although Yi Chenli applied the medicine gently and it wouldn't hurt, it was still a sweet torture each time, making An Yuan'er very shy.
Fortunately, the medicine is very effective, and today is the last application.
After applying the medicine, An Yuan'er got dressed and sat down opposite Yi Chenli without leaving.
The girl couldn't keep things to herself, so Yi Chenli asked, "What do you want to say?"
