The cannon fodder female supporting role wants to run away, and the madly criticizing prince is red-

The innkeeper stroked his sparse, messy beard and picked up the portrait in his hand.

He squinted and studied the paper for a moment, his eyes brightening.

"I remember this girl now. She stayed in our inn with a man a few days ago. She stayed here for about five or six days and left two days ago."

"Man? What kind of man?"

The young man in front of him stared at him with a pair of red eyes, which was a bit scary, so the shopkeeper quickly smiled apologetically.

"That's it, sir. I didn't lie to you."

Gu Huai felt as if there was something stuck in his throat, and he felt as if there was a heavy pressure in his chest that made it difficult for him to breathe.

"What kind of man? They live together, and what kind of relationship do they have?"

He kept asking questions like a string of cannonballs, but when he asked the last question he seemed a little afraid and his voice gradually dropped.

The shopkeeper thought seriously, his eyes moving slowly upwards, "The man is very tall, and his shoulders are broader than yours."

"They live in two rooms, they don't look like a couple."

This sentence made Gu Huai regain some of his sanity.

He finally had some patience to continue listening, "Anything else?"

The shopkeeper said, "The woman didn't seem to like the man and wasn't very nice to him. Once, when they were having dinner downstairs, I was here to settle the bill and heard their conversation. The woman's words were full of sarcasm and seemed to want to drive the man away. I was wondering at the time, why was the relationship between these two people so strange?"

The anger in Gu Huai's heart subsided a little.

His expression was finally not as ugly as it was at the beginning.

The shopkeeper glanced at Gu Huai with a gossipy look and asked curiously, "Who are you to that girl?"

"Don't mind my business."

The shopkeeper smiled and was not angry. "The girl was carried into this inn by a man. At that time, she was soaked all over, as if she was drowning. The man anxiously found a doctor to treat her, boiled medicine and took care of her. He was very considerate. I wonder if he is her fiancé?"

Gu Huai's face suddenly became very ugly, as green as the grass on the ground.

The shopkeeper smiled when he saw this, hiding his gloating and saying

"But this girl probably doesn't like him, because just two days ago, she left this man and ran away without saying a word! This man was the last one to pay for the room."

Gu Huai was like a piece of wood stuck there, his mind was blank, and all kinds of thoughts were surging in his head like waves.

He stood there for a long time.

People kept coming down the stairs next to him, and he seemed like a human-shaped ornament.

Li Zan, a Qianniu guard dressed in plain clothes, came over and said, "Prince, think positively. Maybe the situation is not as bad as you think."

"This Miss Lin must have her own difficulties. I wonder if she left because she was bullied by this man?"

The shopkeeper stroked his beard and laughed, "No one knows. But this man doesn't look like someone who would bully her. He treats her very well."

Gu Huai's brows suddenly frowned, and his heart was blocked again.

Li Zan said, "Prince, how about this, you take a rest here for a while, and I will continue to go outside with my brothers to find out the news about Miss Lin."

Gu Huai shook his head in disbelief, "No, I don't want to do anything unless I get the latest news from her."

Suddenly, his body tilted and he fell straight down.

The people around him quickly helped him up, and someone shouted, "Bring some water, bring some food."

Gu Huai felt dizzy. He picked up the steamed bun and took a bite without tasting it. "Ah, finally, we got some news..."

Li Zan sighed, "I just can't bear to see a man go to such lengths for a woman."

"You haven't eaten or slept properly for three days. Why do you have to ruin yourself?"

He said with some regret, "Even if we want to find someone, we should eat well first, and then we can find them as soon as possible if we have enough strength."

This kind of man is incomprehensible, but also makes people feel a little sympathetic because he is tortured by love.

Li Zan turned around and told the others, "Help the prince to rest first, and the rest of you continue to follow me to find out the news about Miss Lin."

Gu Huai propped up his weak body and said, "I'll go with you!"

Li Zan looked at him sincerely, "It doesn't matter if you're missing. Prince, I think you should gather your strength now, and we'll look for Miss Lin together tomorrow. We'll definitely get news about her soon."

At night, I picked candles.

Gu Huai lay on the bed, closing his eyes quietly facing the curtain. The cold moonlight poured in from outside, casting a layer of white frost on the ground.

flourishing.

My heart is really excited thinking about getting closer to you.

But why did you leave again?

I really miss you and want to see you so much.

The next day came in the blink of an eye.

Gu Huai walked on the street with the portrait, stopping everyone he met to ask for any clues about Lin Qianqian.

"Auntie, have you seen the girl in the portrait?" The old lady frowned, looked for a while, and waved her hand.

"I have not seen it."

Gu Huai took the drawing paper and walked up to a man carrying a candied haws and asked, "Uncle, have you seen the girl in the portrait?"

As Gu Huai asked along the way, many people noticed that he was looking for someone, so two curious people gathered around him, craning their necks to look at the portrait.

"Girl, isn't this the girl who came to your house that day?"

Hearing the sound, Niu'er walked over with her empty basket, approached her neighbor uncle, and stood on tiptoe to look at the paper.

"It's this sister. She came to my house before."

After Niu Er finished speaking, she looked at Gu Huai and said, "Brother, who are you? What do you want to see her for?"

Gu Huai was ecstatic. He squatted down and tightly grasped the girl's shoulders, "You really have seen her!"

The girl nodded obediently, "I have seen her. This sister also taught my father how to make scallion pancakes."

"This scallion pancake has been selling really well these past two days. I bought all of them in one morning, and my dad is smiling more often."

Gu Huai suppressed his joy and said, "Little sister, tell me how you met her and what happened between you two?"

The girl nodded, "Okay."

Niu'er took Gu Huai into the gate of her own small courtyard.

Her father entertained Gu Huai and told him the whole story of his meeting with Lin Qianqian.

The man sat on the stool and sighed, saying, "Thanks to Miss Lin, I now know that I can't be too rigid when doing small business. I need to be flexible and create new things. I am very grateful for her advice."

"She is such a good girl. She woke me up with her scolding and made me realize that my beating and scolding of the girl was an ineffective way of venting my anger."

Gu Huai held the barley tea in the porcelain cup, took a sip, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

"She is indeed a rare good girl in this world. She has a clear mind and is not afraid of offending others. It is because of her that I know myself better."

Gu Huai turned and looked at the stove in the man's house. He looked at the big black iron pot and the oil, rice, sauce, vinegar and tea in the small earthenware jars. Lin Qianqian's slender figure appeared in front of him.

I wonder what the scene looks like as she kneads dough and makes pancakes here?

Gu Huai suddenly asked, "Excuse me, is there a man with her?"

Niu'er's father nodded, "Yes, there is a man."

Gu Huai's face immediately dropped.

The gentle smile in those eyes disappeared completely in an instant, he frowned, and a coldness emanated from his whole body.

That man...he would never let her go.

He must catch her back and make her realize her mistake.
