What to do if you receive the wrong package?

After watching Shen Mujin and the others leave, Gu Yan immediately returned to his room. But the thought of what had happened in the room during the night made Gu Yan feel uneasy.

After much deliberation, Gu Yan decided to change rooms.

She had intended to carry An'an to her room, but she had rushed over and forgotten to close the door. The room was chilly from the night wind and not suitable for the children to stay temporarily.

Gu Yan had no choice but to carry Lin Mu'an to Shen Mujin's room first. After settling Lin Mu'an in, Gu Yan returned to the little boy's room, tidied up a bit, and then took an extra quilt to the next room.

"An'an, go and close my room door for me."

Gu Yan was too busy to help, so he had to ask Bai Hongsheng for assistance. Fortunately, they were in the same courtyard and could see each other directly, so Gu Yan felt more at ease.

What may seem like a simple "moving" is actually quite time-consuming and physically demanding, requiring numerous trips.

After successfully moving the two little ones and some belongings to Shen Mujin's room and closing the door, Gu Yan realized that the room was dark and there seemed to be no candles lit.

"Sheng Sheng, you go to bed and keep An An company. I'll go light the candles."

"Okay, Second Sister, be careful."

Using the faint moonlight, Gu Yan carefully groped his way to the window and slightly opened it a crack, so that when Shen Mujin and the others returned, they could at least see them through this small gap.

Gu Yan stood by the window, the cool evening breeze ruffling the stray hairs around her ears. She looked up through the small crack at the faintly visible moon in the night sky, and suddenly felt a pang of fear and unease.

She touched the cold dagger at her waist, as if trying to gain some sense of security from it.

Suddenly, a soft footstep sound came from afar. Gu Yan's heart tightened immediately, and he whispered "shh" to Bai Hongsheng on the bed.

She nervously looked through the crack, her heart pounding faster. Gu Yan had no idea who it was.

If it were Mumu and the others, they probably wouldn't deliberately walk quietly.

If it's someone with ill intentions, then it's a bit hard to say.

Gu Yan felt a surge of tension. She cautiously peered through the crack and saw Xing'er silently carrying a tray into the courtyard.

Xing'er? Could she be here to deliver medicine?

Thinking of this, Gu Yan felt a sense of relief; it seemed she had been too nervous.

Just as he was about to open the window to remind Xing'er and the others that they had moved into this room, he saw Xing'er pull out a dagger from her back and hide it under the tray. The cold glint of the dagger was deeply reflected in Gu Yan's eyes.

She paused, then quickly withdrew her hands.

Oh my god, this...

What is Xing'er going to do? Kill her?

I usually get along well with Xing'er, so why are we going to play such a big game right from the start today?!

Gu Yan heard Xing'er knock on the door of the room next to her, and after a few seconds, she heard Xing'er push the door open and enter.

Finished!

Xing'er realized she wasn't there. Would she start searching every room?

Sure enough, after walking around the empty room, Xing'er returned to the courtyard with a tray. She even brazenly called out in the courtyard, "Miss Bai, I've come to bring you some calming soup."

Gu Yan swallowed hard. She no longer dared to stand by the window, afraid that her shadow would reveal her location through the window.

She stood in front of the bed with a dagger in her hand, making no sound, just staring intently at the door and window.

At this point, nobody's going to answer you!

Gu Yan was even secretly relieved that she hadn't lit the candles immediately.

Unable to get a reply, Xing'er had no choice but to check each room one by one. As Xing'er approached, Gu Yan's tension intensified. She could feel fine beads of sweat forming on her forehead, and she didn't know how to deal with this sudden situation.

All she wanted to do now was pull the covers over her head and hide in a corner.

Xuan Yi! Mu Mu! Captain Yu! Help!

After checking the two rooms with lights on but finding nothing, Xing'er turned her attention to the only dark room in the courtyard.

Xing'er stopped using the tray as a cover and directly approached the room step by step, carrying a dagger.

As the dark figure outside the door was about to reach her, Gu Yan's heart nearly leaped out of her chest. She bit her lip tightly, trying to control her emotions, even biting her lip until it bled, so that no sound would escape her notice.

Just as Gu Yan had raised his dagger, intending to fight Xing'er to the death.

Suddenly, Xing'er stopped in her tracks, as if she had sensed something.

Gu Yan's heart pounded even harder. Her palms were soaked with sweat, and even the hand gripping the dagger trembled uncontrollably. She didn't know what would happen next, and could only silently pray that Shen Mujin and the others would come back quickly to save the child.

Xing'er's shadowy figure stood outside the door without pushing it open, but Gu Yan inside dared not relax for a moment, his eyes fixed on the door.

Unexpectedly, Xing'er suddenly turned around, took a few steps to the window, kicked it open, and climbed in through the window.

Gu Yan really wanted to tell her: You have no martial ethics!

The pale moonlight shone on Xing'er, making her appear even more terrifying.

"Miss Bai, you've really been hard for me to find."

"Then you shouldn't look for it anymore." Gu Yanren, though seemingly timid, retorted directly.

"If I can't find you, how am I supposed to explain this to my master when I get back?"

"Maybe your master has suddenly changed his mind and doesn't want me dead anymore? Why don't you confirm with your master again?" Gu Yan couldn't help but back away, and with a "bang," his heel hit the footboard of the bed.

"Don't worry, I'll be quick, it won't hurt."

Xing'er revealed a sinister smile, raised her hand to attack Gu Yan, who was so frightened that he sat down on the footboard and rolled to the right, narrowly dodging the attack.

A wave of fear washed over Gu Yan. She scrambled to her feet and ran towards the courtyard, only to find Xing'er already rapidly approaching her. She couldn't help but take a few steps back, her eyes revealing helplessness and terror.

"Mu Mu, Xuan Yi, Captain Yu, Jiang Si!" Gu Yan didn't know what he was saying anymore, randomly calling out one name after another.

Xing'er sneered, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes, "Do you think anyone can save you? Prepare to die!"

Gu Yan was cornered by Xing'er. She glanced at the wardrobe on the other side, then looked at the sharp dagger that Xing'er was rapidly approaching. She closed her eyes and stopped struggling.

Xing'er watched Gu Yan's actions, a smug smile appearing on her lips. Just as she was about to take Gu Yan's life, her eyes narrowed, and she suddenly sensed a dangerous aura coming from behind her.

She quickly moved to the side, narrowly dodging a sharp sword strike.

"Who?"

"The one who will kill you."

Hearing the familiar voice, Gu Yan almost burst into tears. Knowing that she wasn't completely safe yet, she immediately seized the opportunity and ran towards the door with all her might.

Seeing that Gu Yan was about to run away, Xing'er stomped her foot in anger and immediately grabbed at Gu Yan.

A long sword gleaming with cold light blocked her way. The person who came was agile and had sharp moves, catching Xing'er off guard.

"Young Master Jiang? Didn't you return to the Qingfeng Sword Sect?"

“Someone needs me, so I’m back.” Jiang Si glanced at Gu Yan, who had already run up behind him, and looked at Xing’er with murderous intent.

Xing'er gritted her teeth, gripped the dagger in her hand, and charged forward again. Jiang Si's sudden appearance meant that she might not be able to complete the mission, and even escaping safely was unlikely.

Jiang Si, mindful of Gu Yan hiding in the room, forced Xing'er into the courtyard. The two engaged in a fierce fight, each move potentially fatal. Their figures clashed in the moonlight, creating a breathtaking scene.

Xuan Yi, who had rushed over, saw Jiang Si confronting Xing'er in the courtyard and hurriedly shouted, "Jiang Si, don't kill her! She's still useful."

Shen Mujin had no time to pay attention to the fighting in the courtyard. Under the cover of the guards, she rushed directly into a brightly lit house next door, but found no one there.

Startled, she cried out, "Ayan? Ayan, where are you?"

Hearing Shen Mujin's call, Gu Yan quickly called out, "Mumu, I'm in your room."

Upon hearing Gu Yan's reply, Shen Mujin hurried towards her room, only to find it dark inside. She quickly went to the counter and lit the candles.

The moment the lights came on, Shen Mujin saw Gu Yan squatting next to the wardrobe. Curious, she walked closer and found Bai Hongsheng hugging Lin Mu'an, huddled inside the wardrobe, silently shedding tears.

Seeing the pitiful state of the two little ones, Shen Mujin felt a pang of heartache and quickly helped Gu Yan to help them out.

"Why is Shengsheng in the closet? Come out quickly, don't get cold."

“Xing’er came suddenly, and I was afraid I couldn’t protect them, so I had Sheng Sheng take An’an and hide in the closet. The fighting was probably too loud and scared them.”

Gu Yan carried Lin Mu'an back to the bed and gently covered him with the blanket. He then quickly turned to Shen Mujin to comfort Bai Hongsheng, who was crying silently.

"Sheng Sheng, Second Sister is alright, don't worry."

"Yes, Shengsheng, I'm right in front of you. Do you want me to hug you?"

Bai Hongsheng saw Gu Yan opening her arms to him, rushed over, and buried her face in Gu Yan's chest, sobbing, "Waaah, second sister, I thought..."

"Sheng Sheng, your second sister promised you that she would always stay by your side. Don't worry, your second sister will never break her promise."

“Yes, Sheng Sheng, we will always be by your side.” Shen Mujin patted Bai Hongsheng’s head, as if to prove something to him.

Bai Hongsheng's emotions gradually calmed down, but he had cried quite a bit earlier, and his eyes were red and swollen, like a little rabbit's.

The fighting in the courtyard also stopped. Xing'er was beaten by Jiang Si and had no chance to fight back. A moment later, Jiang Si hit her in the shoulder with a sword and then captured by Yu Bai and the guards.

Xuan Yi was even more cautious and directly dislocated Xing'er's jaw to prevent her from swallowing poison and committing suicide.

Xuan Yi, Yu Bai, and the others took Xing'er away from the courtyard, while Jiang Si and Shen Mujin began to tidy up the courtyard, which had been in chaos due to the fight.

Seeing Bai Hongsheng's aggrieved expression as he clung tightly to her sleeve, Gu Yan didn't dare leave the bedside for even a moment. She stayed by the bedside, gently patting Bai Hongsheng, and coaxed him for a long time before finally getting him to sleep.

When Gu Yan stepped out of the room again and stood in the courtyard, the moon was already hidden behind the mountain, and the sky began to lighten.

As Gu Yan sat on the steps in front of the door, breathing in the fresh morning air, a wave of fatigue and grievance suddenly washed over him, and he quickly buried his head in his knees.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Si carefully draped a coat over Gu Yan's shoulders and sat down beside him.

"It's nothing." Gu Yan didn't look up, her voice somewhat muffled. She pulled her coat tighter, trying to wrap herself up.

Jiang Si gently patted Gu Yan's back, "If you want to cry, just cry it out. It'll make you feel better."

Hearing Jiang Si's gentle voice, Gu Yan couldn't hold back any longer, and tears welled up instantly. She looked up, her vision blurred by tears, but she could still feel Jiang Si's warmth.

"Waaaaah, Jiang Si, I almost died! I was so close! It was terrifying!" Gu Yan didn't dare to cry too loudly for fear of waking Bai Hongsheng, so she could only cry and quickly wipe away her tears. "Waaaaah, thank goodness you came. If you hadn't shown up, you wouldn't have been able to see me again."

Listening to Gu Yan's outburst, Jiang Si thoughtfully handed him a handkerchief, saying, "Don't be afraid, it's all over now."

After crying, Gu Yan seemed to feel better. She wiped away her tears, blinked her slightly red eyes, and turned to say, "To be honest, Jiang Si, I'm really grateful to you. If you hadn't suddenly appeared, I'm afraid I would have been in real trouble today."

Jiang Si also realized the seriousness of today's events. If he had arrived even a moment later, Jiang Si dared not think any further, as the consequences would have been far beyond what he could bear.

Thinking of this, Jiang Si looked at Gu Yan solemnly, "This situation will never happen again."

Hearing Jiang Si's words, which sounded like a guarantee, Gu Yan felt a surge of warmth in his heart, but on the surface he remained nonchalant. He quickly waved his hand and said somewhat casually, "Sigh, it's just that the enemy is too cunning. When Young Master and Qi Qi return, I'll have to have a good talk with Young Master and ask him to compensate me for my emotional distress."

Seeing this, Jiang Si gently grasped Gu Yan's flailing hand, squeezed it tightly, and looked directly at her.

"Huh? Jiang... Jiang Si?" Gu Yan's heart skipped a beat at Jiang Si's actions, and he was immediately at a loss.

Jiang Si sensed Gu Yan's tension and panic, smiled gently, and didn't let go of her hand. He knew his actions might have been a bit sudden, but he didn't want to hide his feelings any longer.

"I'm sorry, I might have been a bit rash," Jiang Si said. "But I was really worried about you, especially tonight when I saw you cornered by Xing'er. I was terrified. From today onwards, I will always protect you."

Gu Yan's face flushed instantly. She lowered her head, somewhat unable to meet Jiang Si's gaze.

Good heavens! Is this still the same Jiang Si who never showed any emotion?

That's some serious flirting skills!

Gu Yan had always considered Jiang Si as her friend, although there had been a few minor flirtations along the way. But she always thought they were unintentional and never imagined that Jiang Si would have any other feelings for her.

This unexpected little confession caught Gu Yan off guard.

Oh my god, what should I do? If Jiang Siruo knew that she was just an alien soul occupying someone else's body, would he still do these things?

However, Gu Yan felt that he simply couldn't refuse outright.

Perhaps, as Mu Mu said, that person walked into her heart without her even realizing it.

Thinking about this, Gu Yan felt somewhat relieved. She was a single dog in modern times, so why should she have to be a single dog after transmigrating!

"Jiang Si, are you serious?" Gu Yan asked in a low voice.

Looking at Gu Yan's cautious demeanor, Jiang Si suddenly felt a pang of heartache and immediately nodded, his eyes filled with determination.

"Ayan. I know it might be inappropriate to say these things now, but I can no longer hide my feelings."

"I like you"

Gu Yan noticed that Jiang Si's eyes were filled with light and water, as if they held endless determination and doting affection. One glance was enough to make one fall into their depths.

It's over. Her heart began to waver wildly.

In truth, her feelings for Jiang Si were different from her own, but she had always kept them hidden in her heart. Now, she was no longer afraid to face her true feelings.

"I...I like you too!" Gu Yan said, her face immediately turning red as she tried to wrap herself up in her coat, but Jiang Si was faster and pulled Gu Yan into his arms.

"Ayan, you can't escape now."

Jiang Si's eyes gradually brightened, and a joyful smile appeared on his face. He finally held the person he had been longing for in his arms.

Gu Yan felt Jiang Si's warm embrace, and the unease and hesitation in his heart instantly disappeared, replaced by a sense of inexplicable peace and happiness.

The two embraced, as if time had stopped, with only their breaths echoing in each other's ears.

Gu Yan, her face flushed, leaned against Jiang Si and asked softly, "By the way, why did you come back so soon?"

Didn't you write to me telling me to return immediately?

"Huh?" Gu Yan sat up straight in surprise from Jiang Si's lap upon hearing his reply. "I did write you a letter, but I didn't send it! Wait a minute!"

Gu Yan suddenly remembered the little thrush that hadn't been seen for several days, and exclaimed in realization, "It's the little thrush! It actually delivered the letter to you secretly without my permission!"

"Where's that little thrush? I'd better teach it a lesson!"

Meanwhile, the little thrush, who was chatting with the chicks in the backyard, suddenly felt a chill on its body and involuntarily shrank its neck.

Oh my god, what if the lady of the house finds out I secretly sent the letter?
