Hua Zhi patted Shaoyao gently, "I understand. I won't hate him, ever."
Shaoyao was sure what she said was true and immediately smiled again. She reached out to the half-remaining plate of cakes and ate them while slyly saying, "Huahua, let me tell you, I still remember what Brother Yan looked like before. He used to smile so cutely, with two dimples on his face. His hair was always short and messy. When he went to big occasions, he had to put something on it to keep his hair from bouncing around and curling up. It wasn't the stiff look it is now."
Hua Zhi couldn't imagine Gu Yanxi like that, and always felt like she had blasphemed something.
But with a family background like that, he was born rich and wealthy, and he was born to be free and unrestrained. He indeed had it once, but lost it in such a tragic way. Only he could understand how painful it was.
While thinking about these endlessly in his mind, he joked, "If he knew you were telling others about his secrets, he would punish you."
"You are not an outsider." Shaoyao said as if it was a matter of course. Their goal was to make Huahua an insider!
After all, there was still important business to be done in the palace, so Shaoyao ate a very sumptuous meal and went back. When she left, she carried many bags, some for herself, some for her master, and some for Brother Yan.
In the imperial study, Gu Yanxi had been looking at the memorial in front of him for a long time. Lai Fu thought there was something wrong with the memorial and did not dare to say a word.
If he dared to look closer, he would find that at this moment, Master Gu, the leader of the Seven Stars Division, Gu Yanxi, had unfocused eyes, commonly known as absent-mindedness.
Shaoyao, who never came back, made him very anxious. He was desperate and tried all kinds of methods. Why did he let such an unreliable person go? He didn't know what she said yet. He should not make things worse.
Thinking of this, Gu Yanxi wished that time could go back two hours to stop herself from making such a foolish decision.
Throwing the memorial aside, Gu Yanxi picked up Zheng Zhi's information again and looked at it. The more he read, the stronger his sense of crisis became. A man with good character, well-read, and whose thoughts were in sync with Azhi's was right in the Hua family. He could meet Azhi every day, drink tea, play chess, chat about everything, and live the life he most desired. Just thinking about it made him restless.
And he couldn't stop it.
This man was left behind by Azhi and was admired by Azhi. He had said that he would do whatever she said, and he couldn't go back on his word on this matter.
He also said that he would let Ah Zhi do whatever she wanted, and he could not isolate others under the banner of concern, even though he wanted to throw Zheng Zhi away so much at this moment.
"Brother Yan." The long-awaited person finally came in like a gust of wind. Gu Yanxi motioned Lai Fu to go out and stared at the thing in her hand.
Shaoyao put the package on the desk with a chuckle, "Brother Yan, Huahua said she will never hate you."
Gu Yanxi raised her eyes and asked, "What did you say?"
"I just said it casually. Huahua is so smart, she will definitely guess it if I tell her more." Shaoyao pretended to be stupid. She would not tell Brother Yan that she had told Huahua about his image when he was young and ignorant.
Gu Yanxi didn't trust her very much, and Shaoyao didn't give him a chance. She ran away as soon as she finished speaking, "I'm going to find my master."
Gu Yanxi was too lazy to pay attention to her. When she opened the package, she saw the familiar food box. But what was strange was that she didn’t smell any fragrance today. Could it be that Fu Dong had developed new food again
Thinking of this, Gu Yanxi opened the first floor. It was empty
The second floor is still empty!
The third floor is empty!
Gu Yanxi's mind went blank. What was the meaning of sending him an empty lunch box? Did Shaoyao say something that made Ah Zhi completely tired of him and didn't want to give him food? That wasn't right. If that was the case, Ah Zhi would have ignored him directly, and why would she give him an empty lunch box
What does that mean? You can't use an empty lunch box to invite him to eat at Hua's house...
Gu Yanxi felt dizzy for a moment, he looked up and saw that it was already dark outside, he thought he was overthinking, but when he thought of this possibility, he couldn't control himself from thinking in this direction. Doesn't the empty food box just tell him that there is food, but at the Hua family, and if he wants to eat, go by himself
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. Gu Yanxi could no longer care about anything else. He stood up and strode outside. He stopped after crossing the threshold and turned to go to the lounge behind the imperial study. He had been spending a lot of time here recently and had prepared clothes. This black outfit was not suitable. Ah Zhi had been wearing plain clothes recently, mostly white, so he might as well wear white.
He arrived at Hua's house with great trepidation. The corner door was locked at this point. He jumped onto the top of the wall and met Wang Rong's eyes. He didn't know if he was feeling insecure, but he felt that Wang Rong's eyes were a little weird.
It turned out that he was not wrong, because Wang Rong told him that the eldest lady had instructed that when Mr. Lu came, he should go directly to the study.
There was no one walking in the yard, and the door of the study was ajar. Gu Yanxi's heart beat faster and she gently pushed the door open.
The candlelight in the room was bright. Hua Zhi was reading a book. Bowls and chopsticks were placed on the table where she usually made tea, and the dishes were placed upside down on plates.
Hearing the noise, Hua Zhi put down her book and looked at the seven-foot-tall man with a half-smile. He was obviously nervous but pretended to be calm as usual. "I thought Mr. Lu would arrive later. It's just right. The food is hot. Let's eat first."
Gu Yanxi sat down opposite her and watched her take away the upside-down bowls one by one, and then filled two bowls of rice... Two bowls
Meeting his gaze, Hua Zhi picked up her chopsticks and asked, "Mr. Lu, have you eaten in the palace?"
"No." He didn't even know when it got dark, let alone remember to eat. Gu Yanxi thought silently in his heart and picked up the chopsticks to eat. There was a plate of meat in front of him, which was sweet and sour according to his taste. The other dishes were vegetarian. Obviously, this plate of meat was specially made for him. Thinking of this, Gu Yanxi's appetite was whetted.
The two of them didn't talk to each other as usual when they had a meal together, and today's meal was especially silent.
Gu Yanxi ate four large bowls of rice with the plate of meat, and only put down her chopsticks after putting the last piece of meat into her mouth.
Yingchun and Nianqiu appeared silently, took the things away, served tea, and then left on tiptoe.
However, Gu Yanxi wanted to see Ah Zhi making tea with that set of tea sets, leisurely and comfortable, as if life was really that leisurely.
But he didn't dare mention it.
He was like a man waiting for an imperial decree, a result that would send him to heaven or hell.
Hua Zhi's toughness is always for enemies. How could she bear to make things difficult for someone who holds his heart in front of her? Holding the hot tea in her hand, she said, "I said before that our relationship should stop at that stage. I was wrong. It seems that I am taking advantage of others. Feelings are not funnels. As long as the hole is blocked with sand, it will not come out. Feelings will either ferment in the heart or fade. They will never stay where they are. I wonder if Mr. Lu is the former or the latter now?"
