"In my opinion, we shouldn't have made it so big; we should have been gentler."
After he finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
But the person behind him punched him in the head.
"You're so knowledgeable and eloquent, why didn't you do this sooner?"
"If you had told our general earlier, would he have looked so bad?"
The two were about to start arguing when someone else stepped in to smooth things over.
"Stop talking, the most important thing now is to figure out what to do."
"What else can we do? Break down the door, of course! How else are we supposed to get in?"
"..."
"I think you've gone mad from fighting!"
"This is a delicate young lady. We're here to celebrate the general's sister's birthday. Are we here to fight?"
"What were you trying to do by breaking into someone's door?"
"Are you planning to beat up the general's sister?"
"What if you scare people? Will you comfort them?"
"Do you know how to coax them?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"Since you don't know, then all of you shut up. Now we'll wait for the general's orders."
Gu Erli stood at the door and knocked on it somewhat helplessly.
After a long while, the door finally opened.
A servant boy stuck his head out.
"General, my young lady said that if you want to come in, you should have your subordinates take those things away and then you can go in by yourself."
Gu Erli breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
He glanced back at his subordinates.
The subordinates immediately put away their flags and quickly rode away.
Gu Erli was finally able to enter Gu Jingchun's room.
Inside the room.
When Gu Jingchun saw Gu Erli enter from afar, he looked unusually at a loss.
After all, she had never met Gu Erli before, neither in her past life nor in this one.
This brother who suddenly appeared killed her own father and preserved his own position, and now he's making such a big fuss about celebrating her birthday, a birthday she didn't even know existed.
This made Gu Jingchun wary.
Just then, Gu Erli stepped forward.
He was holding a box, which he immediately handed to Gu Jingchun upon seeing her.
"I……"
He paused for a moment, unsure how to begin.
Seeing this, Gu Jingchun put the box in his hand on the table before speaking.
"General, you've just returned from the border, haven't you?"
Gu Erli nodded.
"I rushed all the way to make it to your birthday celebration, so I didn't have time to change my clothes."
At this point, she thought of Gu Jingchun's fear again and couldn't help but explain again.
“I was thinking that since it was the first time I was celebrating your birthday, I wanted to make it a big celebration. I didn’t expect it to scare you.”
Gu Jingchun: ...
I was really scared.
"The grand scale you speak of... seems to be quite different from the grand scale we usually talk about."
Gu Erli looked somewhat embarrassed, and his handsome face quickly turned red.
“I… grew up in a military camp and don’t really understand these things… that’s how it is in the military.”
Seeing his expression, Gu Jingchun understood that what Gu Erli said was true.
She couldn't help but sigh and said, "Although I don't quite accept your method, I still thank you."
Gu Erli's expression softened a little upon hearing this.
"This is the first time this year, and I have no experience. I promise I will pay attention to the method next time and will never use this method again."
As Gu Erli spoke, his gaze fell on Gu Jingchun again, scrutinizing him carefully before he said:
"When I saw you last time, I wanted to tell you that you look exactly the same as when you were little, so as soon as I saw you, I knew that you were my little sister."
Gu Jingchun: "I..."
She had just uttered one word when Gu Erli interrupted her.
“I know you’ve been heartbroken by the Gu family and don’t want to go back to them.”
“But I want to tell you that I came here today not to ask you to go back to the Gu family, but to tell you that no matter who you are or what your surname is, you will always be my sister, Gu Erli.”
"It was my fault that I didn't protect you before, but now that I'm back, I will definitely protect you well and never let you get hurt again."
Even if that person is an emperor, it won't work.
Looking into Gu Erli's sincere eyes, Gu Jingchun was gradually moved.
Perhaps, she could try to trust him just this once.
So Gu Jingchun nodded.
"Okay, then as the older brother, you'd better be mentally prepared in the future, because my little sister is not so easy to deal with."
"good."
Gu Erli nodded happily.
"But is today really my birthday?"
Gu Jingchun spoke.
Gu Erli nodded, his gaze firm and earnest as he repeated to Gu Jingchun.
“Jingchun, you must remember that your birthday is August 28th. On the day you were born, the sky was full of rosy clouds, birds circled on the rooftops, and hundreds of birds sang, which lingered for a long time.”
"So, Jingchun, you are not the ominous star that is rumored to be, but an auspicious omen."
It is an auspicious omen for our family, and for the entire Dacheng.
Upon hearing these words, Gu Jingchun felt a mix of emotions for some reason.
Therefore, she subconsciously didn't think carefully about what Gu Erli was saying, nor did she think carefully about the look in his eyes when he spoke.
I just picked up the box that was next to me.
