"Okay, it's getting late. Since there's nothing to do here, I'll go back first."

Jiang Jiang drank a few more sips of hot ginger water and indeed felt much warmer. It was time for her to go home.

"It's still raining outside..."

Gu Yanqing looked out the window, and the sound of wind and rain did not stop.

"It's okay. Actually, I'm in good health." Jiang Jiang didn't care. She had to go back early. If her elder brother found out that she had sneaked out, he would definitely be worried.

"I will send you back."

Gu Yanqing hesitated for a moment, then turned around and took out a straw raincoat from the bookshelf.

Jiang Jiang took a look and found that his raincoat was very dry and didn't look like he had just worn it today.

So, he didn't go out today, nor did he leave the bookstore?

**

Jiang Jiang has known Yan Chong for so long, and this is the first time that Yan Chong has offered to take her home.

Naturally, Jiang Jiang couldn't refuse.

After both of them were dressed, they left the bookstore together. The wind was still very strong outside, so Gu Yanqing held Jiang Jiang behind him. With his tall figure blocking the way, Jiang Jiang suddenly felt the wind was a little smaller.

only……

Looking at the familiar figure in front of him, Jiang Jiang suddenly felt very strange——

Everything was so normal that it seemed a little deliberate.

Along the way, apart from the strong wind and rain, they didn't encounter anything special. Soon, the two of them arrived near Muwa Lane, and Gu Yanqing stopped at the entrance of the lane.

"I have to rush back to the bookstore, so I'll just send you here first." Gu Yanqing turned around and looked at Jiang Jiang with a calm tone.

"Yeah." Jiang Jiang nodded and reminded him, "Be careful on your way back."

"it is good."

Gu Yanqing responded, turned around and left. The tall figure quickly disappeared in the rain.

This guy... walked quite fast.

Jiang Jiang curled her lips, ignored him, and walked quickly into the alley.

It was not until Jiang Jiang entered the door of No. 32 that Gu Yanqing's figure actually left in the darkness. However, Jiang Jiang was completely unaware of all this.

Even if her perception was sharp, she couldn't sense Gu Yanqing who had deliberately concealed all his presence...

**

Jiang Jiang did not sleep well that night.

She kept dreaming, messy and strange dreams, but when she woke up, her mind was in a mess again and she couldn't remember what she dreamed about at all.

perhaps……

I have too many worries.

Before dawn, Jiang Jiang got up as usual. Even though she felt groggy, she still insisted on practicing martial arts and boxing in the yard.

It rained heavily last night, and the air this morning is particularly fresh, with the fragrance of earth lingering in my nose all the time.

"Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Jiang Chaosheng has been practicing swordplay every morning recently. Seeing Jiang Jiang looking tired, he couldn't help but put away his sword and looked at her with concern: "Is it because of what I told you yesterday? Don't feel any burden, just do your best."

"No, I just couldn't sleep yesterday and had a lot of weird dreams."

Jiang Jiang said helplessly: "My head is still dizzy now."

"Then you should go back and rest, and don't practice today." After hearing Jiang Jiang's words, Jiang Chaosheng immediately said that nothing is more important than his sister's health.

Jiang Chaosheng cared a lot about Jiang Jiang's physical condition. He used to watch her practice martial arts every day in order to strengthen her body, not because he hoped she could become a martial arts master.

"It's okay. I'm in much better health now. Don't worry about me, brother." Jiang Jiang smiled and continued boxing.

Although she had the system, Jiang Jiang knew that she still needed to study hard and practice martial arts, and she couldn't let down the bonus of [Comprehension].

Moreover, the system is an illusory thing. It may appear suddenly, and it may also disappear suddenly one day.

Jiang Jiang feels that it is better to rely on oneself than on the system, and it will never be wrong to work hard to improve oneself.

Jiang Chaosheng has been standing there, quietly looking at Jiang Jiang's figure, his eyes full of relief——

I don’t know when it started, but my sister, who used to be always sick, became full of energy.

She is in better health, laughs more, and even has all kinds of strange thoughts in her mind.

and also……

The strange dream she told today.

Jiang Chaosheng suddenly lost his mind. In his memory, his sister seemed to have said something like this many years ago -

"Brother, my mind has been feeling dizzy lately and I keep having weird dreams."

"What strange dream?"

"I don't remember, it was just... a very strange and absurd dream. Brother, am I... dying?"

"Silly girl, don't let your imagination run wild. You will live a long life."

…………

Those memories are a little fuzzy now.

Jiang Chaosheng came back to his senses and saw Jiang Jiang practicing boxing seriously. He couldn't help but smile with relief.

At least for now...

My sister is still alive and well.

She will definitely live a long life in the future.

**

After a heavy rain, the capital city seems to be particularly lively today.

Qizhuju is located in the waterside pavilion courtyard.

Several girls in gorgeous clothes gathered together, chattering about something.

"Ningyin, have you been to Baxingfang recently? There is a Yanlou there recently. I don't know what it is doing. It's so mysterious." A girl in a light green dress asked.

Liu Ningyin, who was sitting next to her, hesitated for a moment and shook her head: "I seldom go out recently, but I have heard of the name Yan Lou."

There has always been a barrier over there, and no one knows what that building is used for. I just heard that the building is now renamed "Yan Building".

"Hearing the name, could it be a restaurant like Hualou? Or maybe it's like Shuyantang, selling rouge and powder?" another noble lady guessed.

"Oh, it's just a store, what's there to guess about? We'll know after a while when it opens. Have you read Mr. Liao Zhai's 'Red Fox Girl' recently? It's really good, and I heard the second volume is coming out soon!"

"I've read it, I've read it. I've even told the maids at home to keep an eye on the bookstores in the capital. If the second volume of Mr. Liao Zhai's 'Red Fox Girl' comes out, I'll definitely buy it as soon as possible!"

As soon as they started talking about the most popular novels recently, all the ladies became excited.

A young girl in yellow, sitting at another table, was holding a teacup, her face full of longing. "Tell me, what kind of person is Mr. Liao Zhai? How could he write such wonderful stories? I really want to meet him!"

"Du Yurao, little girl, are you in love?" After hearing what the girl in yellow said, several people around her immediately made a joke.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

The yellow-dressed girl named Du Yurao said coquettishly, "I just admire Mr. Liaozhai's talent!"
