Gu Zuozuo waved goodbye and left with great style, her back view radiating joy.
Si Jue watched her walk away, the deep look in his eyes gradually turning into a smile.
Suddenly, Si Jue's gaze fell on the middle-aged man in the corner, and his eyes instantly turned cold and sinister.
"You'd better keep your little schemes to yourself."
When Chu Han met his gaze, her body trembled inexplicably, and a chill ran down her spine.
"Who are you?"
Si Jue tilted his head, his wisps of hair falling down to cover his delicate jawline, his eyes showing a lazy weariness.
"What does this have to do with you? If you want to improve your pharmaceutical skills, be down-to-earth and stop thinking about taking shortcuts. If you dare to lay a finger on her, she might just rip your skull off."
After saying that, he disappeared from the spot, and the people around him seemed not to have noticed the figure that had vanished into thin air.
The guards remained upright with sharp eyes.
Only Chu Han thought she had seen a ghost. She was so frightened that her face turned pale and her mouth trembled so much that she couldn't utter a word for a long time.

When Qi Meng returned from climbing the Great Wall with Li Mo, she saw a slender figure standing at her doorstep wearing a long black trench coat, a black scarf, and a baseball cap.
"Is that... Zuo Zuo?"
Li Mo looked up and met Gu Zuozuo's indifferent gaze.
"Ah! Zuo Zuo! It really is you!"
Qi Meng abandoned her boyfriend, with whom she had just been all lovey-dovey, and pounced on Gu Zuozuo with open arms.
Li Mo looked at his hand that had been flung away and pursed his lips.
……→_→.
"When did you arrive in Beijing? How did you get here? How did you find your way here? Have you eaten? Why are you only wearing a sweater and a trench coat? Aren't you cold?..."
Gu Zuozuo extended an index finger and pressed it against her forehead to stop her excessive enthusiasm.
"I helped write the envelope when you sent a letter to your uncle."
So, how did she come up with such a brainless question?
Qi Meng struggled for a long time but couldn't hug Gu Zuozuo. In the end, she gave up and resigned herself to letting that slender white index finger press against her forehead. She just gave up completely.
"I forgot...hehe."
Gu Zuozuo gently pushed her back to her boyfriend's side, then turned to knock on the door.
Qi Meng's uncle, Wu Lanxun, a student of Gu Zuozuo's mother, is a refined man who wears glasses.
"Senior brother, it's been a long time."
Ulan Xun stared wide-eyed in astonishment, looking her up and down in disbelief, his expression as if he had seen an alien.
"Zuo Zuo? Are you really Zuo Zuo?"
How could the change be so drastic? It's like he's become a completely different person.
I lived with my teacher when I was a child, which meant I watched her grow up.
How did that timid, dodder-like junior sister grow into the powerful, composed girl she is today?
"Senior brother, we've been separated for over ten years. If I haven't changed or grown at all, wouldn't I have lived in vain?"
A year before the original owner's parents disappeared, Ulan Xun was sent back to her own home by her parents.
Since then, they have never seen each other again. Even though they often send each other things and write letters, when they meet again, they are still completely strangers and can't tell at all that they were childhood sweethearts.
Ulan Xun was genuinely surprised, even a little horrified.
After spending a day together, he felt he had seen through everything.
This wasn't just a change in her growth; it was as if she had been completely transformed. She felt like a stranger to him, inside and out.
Gu Zuozuo calmly drank her tea with her eyes lowered, not minding his scrutinizing gaze at all.
