Gu Qinghe looked disapproving: "If you like it, just tell me. You don't have to exchange it for anything."

Wei Yan just smiled and said nothing.

What satisfies her is blank space.

It wasn't him at the banquet.

The silver buckle was all he had now, and he exchanged it for a red apple from her as a farewell gift.

Gu Qinghe didn't understand the deep meaning in his eyes. Seeing that he seemed to be unwilling to change it, she took the hook from his hand reluctantly.

Wei Yanshi lowered his eyes and carefully put the apple she gave him into his arms, murmuring "Goodbye".

The sound was covered by Xi'er's clapping. It turned out that Chang'an was holding up a durian shell to tease Xi'er. Gu Qinghe turned her eyes away and didn't hear his words clearly: "What did you just say?"

Wei Yanshi shook his head and smiled, "Nothing."

Gu Qinghe was worried that Chang'an was injured by the durian shell, so he rushed over to protect him without asking any more questions.

It was not until breakfast the next day that Gu Qinghe discovered that someone was missing from the house.

In the past, wherever she was going, Liubai would be the first to wait at her door. When she opened the door and didn't see that figure, she felt a little uncomfortable.

At first she didn't care, thinking that Liubai didn't get up because he thought she would go to town later, and went straight to the kitchen.

Aunt Gu was the one who cooked the breakfast. Liu Bai had been seen sitting at the stove and cooking the fire over the past ten days or so. She was a little confused by the sudden change of person this morning, and she was not as free-spirited in giving orders as usual.

Feeling empty-hearted, Gu Qinghe's right eyelid twitched violently when the dishes were served. She raised her head and looked outside the stove, but still could not see the red figure. She hurriedly asked the two children playing in the main room to go and call for help.

Not long after, two children ran in with panicked looks on their faces. Gu Qinghe suppressed his uneasiness and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Uncle Liubai is missing. I didn't see him when I got up." Xi'er, who was the first one to wake up, asked her in a panic, "Where is Uncle Liubai?"

How would Gu Qinghe know where he had gone? She didn’t like people around her leaving without saying goodbye, not at all.

Feeling depressed, Gu Qinghe said nothing.

"Qinghe," Aunt Gu said in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, maybe Liubai just went out for a while and will be back at the party."

Gu Qinghe said "hmm" softly, suppressed the emptiness and anger in his heart, put the food into the bowl, and said to the three people who also looked worried: "He said yesterday that he had something to do and wanted to go to the town with me. He might have gone before me this morning."

"I will also go to town later. If anyone comes to cause trouble, you should close the gate in advance. Bone will stay at home to protect you. He is a little wolf cub."

Bone, who had been lying by the door, responded to her words with an "ow".

Aunt Gu had already noticed this and knew that the little girl had her own things to do, so she didn't stop her: "You should also be careful when you go out."

After finishing his meal, Gu Qinghe walked into the room where Liu Bai lived unwillingly. The bed was folded neatly, the clothes bought for him were still in their original places, and the apple he exchanged for the silver buckle yesterday was not on the small wooden table in the room, maybe he had eaten it or something, and there was not even a trace of the core.

He took nothing with him.

He was wearing a red robe when he came and he was the same when he left.

With just one glance, Gu Qinghe turned around and walked out. She put on the bag she had packed yesterday afternoon and walked out of the yard.

Gu Qinghe had traveled through time and space to the present and had spent more time with Liu Bai than anyone else in the Gu family. Now, facing his sudden departure without saying goodbye, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

When she was about to leave, she subconsciously looked back and saw a bump on the newly renovated gate, as if something was carved on it.
