In order to survive, she forced herself to have a happy ending with the yandere villain.

Gu Chaomu returned to the Xie family very late after being tormented. As she entered, she walked up to the guard at the door and secretly asked him something.

Has Qiao Wanwan returned to the Xie residence?

The guard looked at the person who had just arrived and remembered that he was the young master's friend.

Qiao Wanwan, you must be referring to the girl who came back with the young master, right?

The guard bowed respectfully and said:

"Young Master Gu, Miss Qiao has returned."

"... "

Gu Chaomu's face instantly turned ashen.

Qiao Wanwan didn't even look for him; she just went back to the Xie residence on her own.

He wouldn't have invited Qiao Wanwan to go out with him if it weren't for the fact that girls like to visit these kinds of lantern festivals.

This woman is so heartless; she watched him being taken away by another woman and didn't even think of going to find him.

How abominable.

But the moment he returned to the Xie family home, he didn't think of going to see Qiao Wanwan to check on her.

He wanted to ignore her for one night and see if she would shamelessly come to apologize.

Based on Qiao Wanwan's past personality, this is indeed the case.

But he still doesn't understand that Qiao Wanwan is no longer the devoted simp she once was.

Gu Chaomu went straight to Xie Ze's courtyard to get some medicine from him.

A man dressed in brocade sat at a desk, his eyes slightly lowered, a dark shadow of long eyelashes gently falling on his pale skin.

He stared at the wooden goose carving in his hand, a slight smile playing on his thin lips.

Thinking back to when she brought Qiao Wanwan back to the courtyard, the woman handed him the wooden carving.

Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she stubbornly said:

"This is just for your safekeeping temporarily. If you don't like it, just throw it away. It doesn't mean anything anyway."

"Okay, Wanwan. I will definitely keep it with me, and looking at it will be like looking at you."

"!!"

The woman was overwhelmed by his sweet words, and her face flushed even more.

She threw the wooden carving at him and rushed back into her room without looking back.

With a "smack," the door slammed shut.

"Pfft!"

After recalling everything, Xie Ze couldn't help but laugh, his eyebrows and eyes turning bright red.

The slender, bony fingers rubbed helplessly against the wood carving.

"My Wanwan, she's so cute."

"buckle"

A sudden knock on the door interrupted Xie Ze's thoughts, and the smile on his lips vanished instantly.

He slightly raised his eyes and stared intently at the doorway, instantly sensing something, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Come in."

Having received a response, Gu Chaomu opened the door and went inside with great joy.

Then I saw Xie Ze sitting at his desk, his eyes deep and thoughtful.

Gu Chaomu had already sensed that Xie Ze seemed to be a little different than before.

It was still him, which made it impossible for him to say what changes had occurred in the other person.

"Thank you brother."

"Brother Gu, please have a seat."

Xie Ze waved his hand slightly, and the chair that was placed to the side moved and stopped next to Gu Chaomu.

Gu Chaomu could also see that there was a tiny thread under the chair, which disappeared in an instant.

"it is good."

"By the way, it's so late, Brother Gu, what brings you here to see me?"

"!"

When asked, Gu Chaomu's eyes immediately lit up, and she began to ask:

"That's right, Brother Xie has been traveling with us all this way, so you know that I've encountered some problems with my internal energy, right?"

"Ah."

"But I've heard that Brother Xie's residence has a powerful medicine that can restore people whose meridians have been blocked to their original state and can also greatly increase their internal strength? I wonder if this rumor is true?"

Xie Ze looked at Gu Chaomu's curious expression and figured she must have come for the medicine.

He didn't hide anything, but simply smiled and nodded in response:

“That’s right, my father did indeed develop this drug.”

"Then this medicine..."

Gu Chaomu's eyes lit up instantly, but she couldn't bring herself to say that she had come here specifically for this medicine.

Then he started to play the victim, saying:

"Ah! This medicine must be very expensive, right? If it were on the market, how much silver would it cost? I'm just a poor boy. Even if I sold myself, I might not be able to raise that much silver."

"Brother Gu, do you need this medicine?"

"Yes, my master once said that if one's internal energy is suppressed from childhood, even the best talent is meaningless. As long as one finds a miraculous medicine that can unleash internal energy, one can make a name for oneself in the martial world."

"... "

Xie Ze's eyes crinkled, knowing what the other person was thinking.

Just then, he was also thinking about how to repay Gu Chaomu for saving his life in the past and to settle the debt of resentment in his heart.

Hasn't this opportunity arrived?

He opened his desk drawer and took out an exquisite brocade box.

My mind is full of plans.

If Gu Chaomu takes the medicine, then their past grievances can be wiped clean.

He can now openly compete with Gu Chaomu for Qiao Wanwan.

Xie Ze pushed the box in his hand over and handed it to Gu Chaomu.

"Brother Gu, please take this."

Gu Chaomu looked at Xie Ze taking out the beautiful box and immediately became curious, asking:

"This is?"

"This is what you wanted."

"what!"

Gu Chaomu's face lit up with joy. She took the box from Xie Ze's hand, opened it, and saw a golden pill lying inside.

The aroma of the medicine wafted freely, and with just a light sniff, he felt refreshed both physically and mentally.

Gu Chaomu was certain that this was the medicine he wanted.

He looked at Xie Ze with an incredulous expression and asked:

"Such expensive medicine, you're really giving it to me?"

"Of course, Brother Gu's past act of saving Xie Ze's life should also be repaid at this moment..."

As he spoke, Xie Ze's voice gradually faded, his eyes filled with a sharp smile.

Gu Chaomu didn't understand what he meant either, only feeling that this happiness had come too suddenly.

Without him needing to make much effort, the medicine easily came into his hands.

"This is wonderful! My internal energy can be saved. Thank you so much."

"I am very pleased to be able to help Brother Gu."

Looking at Xie Ze in front of him with a smile on his face, as if he were easy to talk to, Gu Chaomu became bolder and wanted to continue to ask for more.

“Um… Brother Xie, could I get some other medicine? After all, once Alliance Leader Qiao arrives, we’ll immediately set off from Anqi City. We don’t know when we’ll see you again. In this vast martial world, injuries and poisonings are common, so I’d like to get some useful medicine from you, just in case.”

"Of course, Brother Gu, what kind of medicine do you want? If I have it, I will definitely give it to you."

"Haha, thank you so much, brother."

Insatiable greed—that's exactly the kind of person Gu Chaomu is, isn't it?

However, this suited Xie Ze's wishes.

I stayed there for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Gu Chaomu came out carrying a heavy package, her face beaming with happiness; the package was full of medicine.

Xie Yi, who was guarding the tree outside, was stunned.

A petty thief carrying large and small bags came out of the young master's room.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that this was none other than Young Master Gu.

Are you sure he didn't come to the young master's room to steal something?

They came out carrying large and small bags, swaying unsteadily...

If you covered your face with a black cloth, it would be even more perfect.

After Gu Chaomu left, Xie Yi went to ask the young master, still puzzled.

"Young Master, what about the medicine in Young Hero Gu's arms..."

“I gave them all to him.”

"The medicines developed by the Xie family are all extremely precious. Young Master, aren't you afraid that he'll sell them off if you give them all to Young Hero Gu?"

Even a single pill from the Xie family costs several hundred taels of silver.

Xie Yi also felt sorry for him.

The young master actually gave all the medicine to a complete stranger!

Xie Ze, however, didn't care at all.

"Yes, the medicine has been given to him. How he handles it is his business."

"Ok."

The young master is too friendly to outsiders; Xie Yi is insanely jealous.
