The matriarch has returned; that spendthrift son is truly daring!

When Song Shuyue opened the box, her pupils dilated sharply, and she almost let go of the box.

It's "Italian Gold Bronze!"

"Sister Yueyue? What's wrong? Don't you like this gift? If you don't like it, I'll get you a new one right away, don't be angry."

This was the first time Gu Yanxuan had ever seen Song Shuyue look so dazed and forlorn, and he was very anxious.

She was afraid that she might have chosen a gift that the girl didn't like or that was taboo, which would make her uncomfortable.

Song Shuyue came to her senses, shook her head, and recalled that those past events were long gone, weren't they?

"We are this gift, I like it very much, thank you."

When Gu Yanxuan heard Song Shuyue say that she liked it very much, the tips of his ears secretly turned red, and he shook his head shyly.

"Sister Yueyue, I'm glad you're happy. I want to thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to transfer back to Beijing High School so quickly. I'll treat you to a meal sometime, Sister Yueyue. You absolutely can't refuse."

Song Shuyue smiled knowingly, "Okay."

Gu Xiaoxiao could only stay for one night, and she wanted to sleep with Song Shuyue that night.

Song Shuyue nodded in agreement, stroking the bronze ingot in her hand, a dense, bittersweet feeling welling up in her heart.

No matter how many times, she would still feel sorry for that twenty-two-year-old boy who died on the battlefield.

Gu Xiaoxiao hugged Song Shuyue's arm and snuggled close to her. "Yueyue, let me tell you, I think I've fallen for a boy."

Gu Xiaoxiao blushed, lowered her eyes shyly, and said softly in a weak voice.

Song Shuyue was quite surprised and asked softly, "Is it the boy you mentioned last time?"

Gu Xiaoxiao was embarrassed and nodded, keeping her head down and not daring to look Yueyue in the eye.

Song Shuyue knew that in today's society, it was not uncommon for men and women to fall in love freely and break up due to incompatibility.

But to her surprise, Gu Xiaoxiao was actually so innocent and adorable.

Perhaps she was too well protected by her family, after all, she is a young lady from the Gu family.

"Xiaoxiao, I think it's fine for you two to like each other now, but it's too early to talk about marriage," Song Shuyue told her.

Gu Xiaoxiao fidgeted with her fingers and bit her lower lip. "I know, but this is the first time I've met someone who understands me so well. I feel like he can pinpoint exactly what I like."

Song Shuyue frowned. "Could you tell me more details?"

Gu Xiaoxiao stammered and couldn't say a word for a long time. It wasn't that she didn't want to talk, but the key was that the relationship between the two of them was like a window paper that hadn't been broken yet, and she didn't know how to start the conversation with Yueyue.

Although they were in love and had feelings for each other, they did nothing to cause any misunderstanding or ambiguity.

Song Shuyue once again spoke earnestly to her: "Love, marriage, and having children are experiences that many girls go through. If you choose this path, you must be fully prepared. You must not be impatient, because you can't rush things. Take it one step at a time. If you really like each other, start dating and continue dating until you graduate from university and have your own careers before considering marriage."

Gu Xiaoxiao looked up at Song Shuyue, reached out and hugged her tightly, "Yueyue, thank you. Once I sort out my relationship with him, I will tell you everything that happened between us."

"Ah."

Gu Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of someone and said angrily, "I heard that Gu Yuqing is targeting you? She really has the audacity to bully you. Yueyue, don't worry, I have already avenged you. She won't be back for at least three to six months."

Seeing her angry expression, Song Shuyue smiled and asked with a puzzled look in her eyes, "What did you do?"

Gu Xiaoxiao was furious and indignant. She pouted and said loudly, "I only taught her a little lesson. Who told her to bully you? I just told Grandpa about some of her past. In a fit of anger, Grandpa sent her to Nanzhou. She definitely won't be back for a while. Don't worry, if she dares to cause you trouble again, I'll beat her up for you. I don't care if she's my cousin or not."

Although Song Shuyue and Gu Xiaoxiao rarely meet or interact, their relationship seems to be destined from the start, preventing any estrangement between them.

The two seemed to have endless things to talk about as soon as they met. Only in front of her could Song Shuyue tell all her innermost thoughts without any reservations.

The two chatted until midnight and were still awake.

"Really? Yueyue, Jiang Qianyun and Huo Xiaoyu are so annoying! Jiang Qianyun is obviously using someone else to do her dirty work. Her uncle Jiang Yu is no good either. He says he won't let anyone cause you trouble, but he must know about this."

Song Shuyue rubbed her head. "Well, there might be something about me that he's wary of, or he might be worried about someone else, so he doesn't want to have a conflict with me on the surface. Okay, let's not talk about these things anymore. You have to go back to Qing City early tomorrow morning, so go to sleep early."

Gu Xiaoxiao: "Mm."

Song Shuyue slowly drifted off to sleep. She hadn't dreamed in a long time, but she never expected to dream about him!

The young man, dressed in an elegant purple robe, with a face as handsome as jade, stood before her and said with great confidence, "Song Shuyue! When I get to the battlefield, I will definitely slaughter those Xiongnu without leaving a single one alive. Just you wait and see, I will definitely achieve more military exploits than you."

But then the scene changed again.

Song Shuyue saw the sky filled with blood, the desert was desolate and chilling, and there were corpses everywhere.

Vultures and wild dogs continued to gnaw on the rotting human flesh.

The yellowish light gradually disappeared below the horizon, and she saw the boy covered in blood, dragging his disheveled body.

His body was already covered in arrows, and blood was imprinted on the desert through his shoes. His blood-dripping hands gripped the battle flag tightly.

Song Shuyue suddenly opened her eyes and sat up abruptly, the blinding sunlight shining through the window onto her face.

She instinctively reached out to block, but touched her face and found it covered in sweat.

Song Shuyue then realized that she was covered in sweat, and her hair was already soaked with sweat. Looking at the ancient coin on the table, her heart ached again.

Gu Xiaoxiao was still fast asleep. She got up, went into the bathroom to wash up, and glanced at the time. Class was about to start.

Song Shuyue dressed neatly, picked up the bread and went out. There was a note left for Gu Xiaoxiao on the table.

Song Shuyue was listless and absent-minded all day until she watched the sunset gradually sink behind the western mountains. She took a deep breath and smiled with relief.

The past cannot be retrieved!

Let bygones be bygones!

Huo Xiaoyu didn't come to class today, and Song Shuyue didn't want to pay attention to her. She could tell that the people in the class were deliberately excluding her, but she didn't care. She was living for herself, not for others.
