Early in the morning,

A little bird landed on the roof of the carriage and chirped incessantly.

They woke up Qiao Wanwan in the carriage.

She slowly opened her eyes.

Spring and summer were nowhere to be seen beside me, and I was covered with a thin blanket.

She rubbed her eyes, sat up, and stretched comfortably.

He took out a bronze mirror and tidied his appearance.

She then stepped neatly out of the carriage.

Just got out of the carriage,

I saw Xie Ze, who had fallen ill last night, now sitting comfortably in a wheelchair.

Zhong Shi, who was beside him, covered him with a thick mink cloak and asked:

"Young Master, are you feeling better?"

"Yes, I'm fine now."

"Young Master has run out of medicine for the journey, and it will probably take about half a month to get back to the Xie residence."

The message arrived quickly by carrier pigeon; the master should send the medicine over first.

These past few days have been tough, young master.

"... "

The man did not speak.

He didn't care whether he had the medicine or not.

In any case, the antidote only relieves the pain and does not cure the root cause.

The poison in his body cannot be cured either.

Because his father refused to let go and abandon him as the experimental subject.

As long as he doesn't die, he will always be his father's experimental puppet.

He had already endured countless things that required him to bear pain.

We've become numb to it all.

The man's eyes darkened, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on his lips.

He suddenly felt a gaze on him, so he looked up.

He was slightly taken aback when he came across the woman coming out of the carriage.

The woman was wearing a light blue gauze dress.

At this moment, the beams of light from the treetops shone on the woman, giving her a gentle glow.

Her face was fair with a hint of pink.

The big, bright eyes were staring at me blankly.

The sun's rays made her sparkle and shine brightly.

For a moment, the figure actually overlapped with the fairy that Xie Ze had met in his dream.

Xie Ze frowned slightly.

His dark eyes narrowed slightly, like a hawk's, as he stared intently at that familiar figure.

Xie Ze was filled with self-mockery.

Hehe laughs:

What are you thinking about?

How could she possibly be the fairy I dreamed about last night?

Go crazy.

"... "

Qiao Wanwan received an unfriendly look from the villain.

I couldn't help but swallow.

Startled, she immediately turned her back to the man, no longer daring to look him in the eye.

...

Zhong Shi, standing beside Xie Ze, kept glancing back and forth between Miss Qiao and the young master.

Feeling a little curious, he asked in a low voice:

"Young Master, what do you think of Miss Qiao?"

Xie Ze was slightly taken aback when he heard Zhong Shi's question.

Looking at him, I was puzzled.

Could it be that

Even those around him were bewitched by that woman?

Even Zhong Shi, who was standing right next to her, started speaking up for her.

Xie Ze's dark eyes were like an icy pool, and a dark cloud hung over his face.

With a mocking smile on his lips, he said:

"What? You think she's great?"

Zhong Shi was still unaware of his young master's anger.

With a slight smile, he offered his own insights.

"I think Miss Qiao is a pretty good person. She's kind to the young master, and she's also beautiful..."

Xie Ze's lips, which had just curved into a smile, slowly slid down.

Are you very good to me?

Which eye of his saw these fallacies?

He was interrupted coldly:

"You mean...you're interested in her?"

"No, no, no, I just wanted to ask for your opinion, young master."

Xie Ze sneered.

Why ask for his opinion?

"Uncle Zhong, don't you know my personality? Anyone who dares to take things from me must die."

"!!!"

Zhong Shi kept thinking about what he had seen last night.

They all forgot that the young master and Miss Qiao are rivals.

His face turned ashen as he heard the young master's slight anger.

"Since your loyalty is not to me, there is no need for you to follow me."

Zhong Shi's face turned pale instantly, and he immediately knelt down to apologize, saying:

"Young Master, it's Zhong Shi who's so talkative. Please don't send Zhong Shi away."

"Then you should shut up properly, and I'll give you another chance."

Otherwise, you'll have to leave on your own; don't make me lay a hand on you.

"Thank you, young master. I will never dare to do it again."

"Walk."

"Yes."

Cold sweat trickled down Zhong Shi's forehead. He quickly got up and pushed the young master away.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing he could only be more careful with his words and actions from now on.

We must not make the young master angry again.

The carriage continued its journey.

They soon arrived at their next destination safely.

--Yongguan Post Station--

The surrounding area was a desolate suburb, with only this post station on the official road serving as a resting place for passing travelers.

Most of them were bureaucrats and passing-by江湖人士 (jianghu figures), and they dared not act recklessly here.

Therefore, post stations are relatively safer than ordinary inns.

Qiao Wanwan and her group were planning to stay here for the night.

Qiao Wanwan went in with the group.

Because spring and summer are the first times to let go of burdens.

So I told her to wait downstairs for dinner.

She casually sat down on one side of a small square table.

Gu Chaomu, standing in the distance, stared at the woman.

He was thinking about how to make Qiao Wanwan happy.

Isn't this a perfect opportunity?

He walked over to Qiao Wanwan without asking any questions and sat down next to her.

The originally small space became crowded when two adults sat there.

"?"

Qiao Wanwan, who had been waiting for Chunxia to put her things down and come down, was very dissatisfied with the man who sat down next to her.

Why did you have to sit next to her when there are so many other seats available?

Aren't you afraid they'll get jealous?

Do not,

It's not scary that they're jealous.

What's scary is that you might incur their hatred for no reason.

"Brother Gu, this seat is a bit cramped, could you sit next to me?"

"It's not crowded at all, it's just right."

"... "

Is he out of his mind?

Qiao Wanwan was completely speechless.

The man, however, shamelessly insisted:

"It's getting late autumn, and the weather is getting colder. Wouldn't it be more comfortable to squeeze in?"

Gu Chaomu smiled calmly as Qiao Wanwan stared at him with a strange look in her eyes.

He thoughtfully poured her a cup of tea.

"Wanwan, what would you like to eat? Brother Gu will order for you."

"I don't have anything I'd like to eat right now, Brother Gu, you can order whatever you like."

"Okay, then Brother Gu, order the dishes that Wanwan usually likes to eat. You'll definitely enjoy the meal."

"no need."

"How can we not use it? Wanwan must be hungry."

"... "

What's wrong with this person?

Doesn't he understand what people say?

To put it bluntly, I just didn't want to eat with him.

Don't you understand this?

Does he want her to spell everything out and humiliate him before he'll understand?

At this time,

She was suddenly gently touched on the shoulder.

Qiao Wanwan looked back and saw Zhou Xinyue.

Zhou Xinyue's expression was neutral at this moment, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

He simply smiled politely at her and said:

"Wanwan, could you give me your seat? I have something to discuss with Brother Gu."

Qiao Wanwan felt that Zhou Xinyue's arrival was just in time.

She flashed a bright smile and gave up the position she had previously disliked.

"Sure, Sister Zhou, come and sit down."

"Thank you, Wanwan, you're so kind."

The woman was overjoyed and sat down in Qiao Wanwan's seat.

She sat down next to Gu Chaomu.

The woman who was originally sitting with Gu Chaomu changed from Qiao Wanwan to Zhou Xinyue.

Qiao Wanwan also breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the man opposite her stared intently at her.

It made her feel immense pressure.

...

At this moment, Xie Ze also came over.
