"Yin'er, are you going out again?" Xue's gentle voice sounded behind him.

Gu Yin retracted her foot that was about to step out of the door, turned her head and nodded gently: "Yes, mother. Why did you come out?"

Before Gu Yin came out, she saw Xue embroidering. She liked to appreciate the finished products, but she was not very interested in the embroidery process. She was dazzled every time she watched it.

"Can't mother take a break..." Xue glanced at Gu Yin in a reproachful manner, and then talked about her purpose, "Today is the second day of the Chinese New Year, and almost every household will have female relatives returning to their parents' home. Where are you planning to go? Be careful not to clash with others' schedules, wouldn't that be embarrassing?"

Gu Yin was slightly stunned. She really hadn't expected this. If that's the case, then...

"Thank you for your reminder, mother. However, there will definitely be no women visiting the house I'm going to, so don't worry." Gu Yin blinked her big watery eyes and said in an affirmative tone.

After hearing this, Xue stopped trying to stop him. She smiled gently and said, "It's good that you have a plan, but remember to come back early tonight."

"Okay, Mom, I got it." Gu Yin simply agreed, turned around and walked out.

At Junlan's residence.

"Master, why don't you take a break first? It's the New Year, and there's no rush to exercise now." Mo San looked at Jun Lan and advised with an anxious tone.

Jun Lan was holding the railings by the wall with both hands, struggling to move his feet. In this cold weather, a lot of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. However, he seemed to be unaware, just immersed in his own world, moving forward step by step.

Mo San wanted to persuade her again, but before he could open his mouth, the housekeeper suddenly came in from outside and reported to Jun Lan: "Sir, Miss Gu wants to see you."

Hearing that it was Gu Yin who came, Jun Lan stopped.

Mo San breathed a sigh of relief: "Master, Miss Gu is here, do you need to change your clothes?"

Jun Lan lowered his eyes and nodded calmly: "Go back to the room."

After a cup of tea, the two met in the flower hall.

As it was Chinese New Year, Jun Lan no longer wore all black, but a dark red robe with large gold embroidery patterns. It was suitable for the occasion and looked elegant, making him look even more handsome and charming.

Gu Yin was wearing a pink long dress and a pink pearl headdress that Jun Lan gave her two days before the Chinese New Year. Compared to her usual casualness, she looked even more innocent and naive at her age.

Zhenzhu looked back and forth at the two of them. They were a perfect match, handsome man and beautiful woman.

Mo San found an excuse and took Zhenzhu away, leaving only Jun Lan and Gu Yin.

"Hi, long time no see. How was your New Year?" Gu Yin greeted with a smile.

"Not bad." Jun Lan nodded slightly.

The two sat face to face at the table. Jun Lan picked up the teapot on the table and began to brew tea. His movements were smooth and elegant.

"You're here alone during the New Year?" From the moment Gu Yin entered the mansion, she felt that it was as deserted as before, and it didn't seem like anyone was coming.

"Yeah." Jun Lan looked up at her.

Gu Yin held her chin with both hands and asked curiously, "What about your family?"

"My father and mother are in the capital. They need to attend a palace banquet during the New Year and don't have time to come here." Jun Lan explained slowly in a gentle tone.

"What about normal times? I've been here for so long, but I've never seen your family come here?" Except for Song Ruorou, she was just his cousin, not strictly speaking a family member.

Jun Lan looked at Gu Yin with a half-smile, the corners of his mouth slightly raised. "You are not with me every day, how do you know whether they are here or not?"

"This..." Gu Yin was speechless for a moment.

After a moment's pause, he finally found the words to say: "Even though we're not together every day, we still meet often. If your parents were here, how could you have never mentioned it to me?"

Jun Lan chuckled: "I like quietness. They came for a few days, and then I let them go back."

"So that's how it is..." Gu Yin suddenly realized. Seeing that he always kept to himself, she thought he was the only one left in his family.

However, this is a bit inconsistent with the routine of the novel.

Gu Yin was confused and asked directly: "Why did your parents agree to let you go to the battlefield?"

"Being born into a royal family means having royal responsibilities." Jun Lan did not explain much.

Gu Yin was in awe after hearing this: "You are amazing."

Jun Lan did not deny it. He looked at Gu Yin with dark eyes: "You are also very good."

Gu Yin knew that he was talking about the things she had done, and she couldn't help but wave her hand: "My things are different, I can't compare with yours."

She is just copying what others have created.

"What's the difference? It's all for the people."

"You risked your life to defend this country, and I just made a few things. How can I compare?" Gu Yin said as a matter of course.

"You underestimate yourself too much." Jun Lan said seriously.

"Really..." Gu Yin smiled awkwardly.

Jun Lan pursed his lips and stopped explaining further. Some things were enough for him to know clearly in his heart.

The two kept chatting and before they knew it, it was lunch time.

Gu Yin stayed as it came, and the food was served.

Gu Yin looked around: "No wine?"

"Miss Gu wants to drink?" Mo San asked uncertainly.

"It's the Spring Festival, it's a rare occasion." Gu Yin looked at Jun Lan eagerly, "Don't you have a bar at home?"

"Miss..." Pearl called in a low voice with a worried look on her face.

"Don't worry, it's okay, it's just a token of my appreciation." She had a good alcohol tolerance in her previous life, so drinking two glasses of white wine was no different from drinking plain water.

"Go get a pot of plum wine." Jun Lan ordered Mo San.

Hearing that it was plum wine, Zhenzhu stopped persuading her.

Gu Yin didn't care. It was just a spur of the moment thing. Green plum wine is also wine.

Gu Yin poured herself a cup in a hurry. When she was about to pour a cup for Jun Lan, she suddenly remembered: "I almost forgot, your leg injury hasn't healed yet, you can't drink."

As he said that, he put the green plum wine next to him, and then poured Jun Lan a cup of tea: "You can use tea instead."

Jun Lan had no objection and started eating silently. Gu Yin was not used to being too quiet at the dinner table and chatted idly.

Seeing that his master and his two friends were chatting happily, Mo San began to clear out the servants in the room, and even tricked Zhenzhu away.

No one expected that not long after they left, Gu Yin got drunk.

Lying on the table with his chin resting on his arms, he looked at Jun Lan opposite him with blurry eyes and said with a smile: "If you become an actor, you will definitely charm thousands of girls..."

When Jun Lan saw her like this, he knew that she was drunk.

He pushed the wheelchair to Gu Yin's side, took the wine jug from her hand and saw that most of the wine had been drunk.

Gu Yin's eyes followed Jun Lan all the way. When she saw him approaching, she couldn't help but burp: "Luo Yunxi...Luo Yunxi..."

Jun Lan paused holding the wine jug.
