Seeing Ren's reddened eyes, Fang Qingyou waved goodbye to her with feigned ease, but tears only rolled down her cheeks after she got into the carriage.

She was actually afraid, afraid that after this parting, she would never have the chance to see him again.

After leaving the Fang residence, Fang Qingyou hesitated to go forward, because she didn't have enough courage to go to the last place she was going to.

The last place Fang Qingyou wanted to go was Qingwu Tower.

She was going to say goodbye to Gu Yuxin, as her treatment in the south would have to be suspended for a while.

Fang Qingyou felt somewhat apologetic when she went to see Gu Yuxin, but she wasn't so much afraid that she lacked the courage to face her.

The person she was truly afraid to face was Gu Jinyi.

Whenever she sees Gu Yuxin, she can't help but think of Gu Jinyi.

At the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet, she had just realized that the gentle and refined immortal still had some affection for her, but so much had happened in just a few days that she no longer dared to see him.

She felt that he might still have feelings for her, but when she thought about the rumors that had been circulating in Kyoto these past few days, she was genuinely afraid to see him.

She felt that he probably believed in her, but she still had a slight worry that he might be disappointed in her.

Everyone says that she and Luo Qianmo disappeared together, and that the two of them, alone together for three days and three nights, may have already secretly pledged their lives to each other.

Perhaps Luo Qianmo has already promised her the title of concubine.

There were even more unpleasant rumors, saying that she had seduced Luo Qianmo and wanted to marry him.

I wonder what he thinks of her?

Despite her fear, Fang Qingyou still mustered up her courage and went to Qingwu Tower.

She couldn't ignore the patients just because she was in a bad mood.

Inside Qingwu Tower, once again, the first person Fang Qingyou saw was not Gu Yuxin, but Gu Jinyi.

At that moment, Fang Qingyou was standing in front of Qingwu Tower, looking up at the long-unseen plaque, when she met Gu Jinyi's gaze.

At that moment, Gu Jinyi stood with his hands behind his back on Qingwu Tower, dressed in white robes that were as white as snow, his clothes fluttering, as if he could transform into an immortal and ride the wind away at any moment.

Upon seeing that snow-white figure, the luster, though so gentle, burned her eyes, causing her to avert her gaze as if struck by lightning, no longer daring to look up at that snow-white figure.

When he met Fang Qingyou's gaze, Gu Jinyi, who was usually calm, couldn't help but show a hint of losing his composure, and his whole body trembled slightly.

It is the end of worry and the beginning of joy.

She did indeed return unharmed.

But seeing her eyes quickly averted, he felt a pang of heartache for no apparent reason.

She was such a proud woman, yet she always had to bear the filth of this world.

These rumors made her afraid to even look at him anymore.

Fang Qingyou hesitated as she entered Qingwu Tower, intending to leave the medicine and letter prepared by the innkeeper, but then she saw that white figure striding towards her, and her heart suddenly raced, like the beating of bells and drums.

Fang Qingyou wanted to escape in a hurry, but saw that Gu Jinyi had already walked up to her.

"Miss Fang." The words made Fang Qingyou's heart even more chaotic. For a moment, she didn't know what to do, and her steps involuntarily stopped.

Yes, she couldn't bear to refuse this perfect man who fulfilled all her fantasies about a husband.

Ultimately, I'm reluctant to let go?

"Young Master Gu." Although Fang Qingyou turned around, she still dared not look at Gu Jinyi's expression, much less his gentle eyes.

At that moment, everyone wisely withdrew, leaving only the two of them, wanting to give them a rare opportunity to spend time together.

Gu Jinyi stood three steps away, gazing intently at Fang Qingyou, no longer concealing his longing.

"Miss Fang, you must have had a very hard time these past few days."

Gu Jinyi felt that his reunion with Fang Qingyou was a blessing from heaven, so he wanted to make the most of this opportunity and didn't want to lose her again.

The torment he had endured these past few days made him realize that his care for her had surpassed many other things.

She was the color in his eyes; without her, the whole world would be gray and white.

"I'm fine. How about Young Master Gu? How are you doing?"

Fang Qingyou felt that her question was really stupid, but if there was nothing else to say, she didn't know what else to say.

Or rather, she dared not say anything.

They had a thousand words to say, but dared not utter a single one.

"I'm fine too," Gu Jinyi replied with a smile. Of course, he wouldn't tell her about the ordeal he had endured for the past three days.

"Young Master Gu, I..." He wanted to say goodbye, but his throat choked up instantly.

“Miss Fang, we’ve only just met, and you’re already saying goodbye again?” Gu Jinyi knew why Fang Qingyou had come to Qingwu Tower today and that she was going to the south, but he still couldn’t help feeling reluctant to part with her.

He knew he should be magnanimous, but the thought of not seeing her for a long time made him uneasy.

“I…” Fang Qingyou’s nose tingled, and she almost cried.

She could sense that Gu Jinyi truly believed in her and her innocence; his feelings for her had not changed in the slightest because of these rumors.

What merits or abilities did Fang Qingyou possess to earn his such trust?

"Miss Fang, promise me you will return safely, okay?" Gu Jinyi originally wanted to leave without notice and accompany Fang Qingyou, but his status prevented him from doing whatever he wanted.

He was willing to give everything for Fang Qingyou, but he couldn't disregard his family.

He is the future head of the family, and he shoulders the mission of the family's growth.

He is not only Gu Jinyi, but also Gu Jinyi.

Fang Qingyou wanted to nod, but the image of that fanged mask suddenly flashed into her mind.

That chilling and ruthless, terrifying and horrifying.

So he simply replied with a nonchalant expression, "Of course I hope to return safely, but it depends on whether I'm destined to be that way."

After saying that, Fang Qingyou immediately turned around and said, "Young Master Gu, it's getting late, I have to go. Please tell Miss Gu that I'm sorry for leaving in such a hurry, and that I will come to see her when I return from the south."

Then, remembering that he hadn't left the medicine and the letter, he quickly placed them on the counter: "These medicines are compensation for Miss Gu, and this letter, please give them to Miss Gu. Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Gu."

Fang Qingyou felt that she was becoming somewhat incoherent.

After saying that, Fang Qingyou left hastily as if fleeing, without waiting for Gu Jinyi's response.

She had to escape immediately; she was afraid that if she didn't leave, she wouldn't be able to keep up the act.

"Miss Fang." Gu Jinyi took a few steps forward and couldn't help but call out.

Fang Qingyou clearly heard his call, but pretended not to hear and ran out of Qingwu Tower.

The slender figure quickly disappeared from sight, causing Gu Jinyi's eyes to dim instantly.
