”So the best thing to do now is to keep each other safe?”

Gu Liuyan was puzzled as she glanced at Duan Chengxuan.

She had only hastily heard a few sentences, but she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to tell if it was true or not. It wouldn't be good if she said something wrong that would cause others to misunderstand her.

This was the first time Duan Chengxuan had discovered that Gu Danyan's carefulness was quite cute, so he faked a light cough and nodded his head, ”While our respective levels of stability and nervousness may seem to be the best case, in reality, it's the best case scenario. And while we're stationed here, we're actually trying to pull the line to the pass through the water.

No wonder she had to stay here for such a long time. However, Gu Danyan had never thought that he would not even hear a sound. Thinking of this, she glared at him: ”You didn't tell me anything.”

”I'm telling you, you must be going upstream to investigate.” Duan Chengxuan looked over with a serious expression, and his fingers, which were placed on the table, were clenched tightly.

Gu Danyan opened his mouth, but in the end, he just turned his face to the side and didn't say a word.

Qi Lin and Qi Rou's eyes were wide open as they looked at Gu Danyan, as if they hadn't expected that she would actually listen to everything Duan Chengxuan said.

Only Yin Gou quietly gave her a piece of pastry. She leaned over and whispered, ”Others say that the King Jing is attacking the city for you.”

Gu Danyan awkwardly put away the pastries, thought for a while, then covered her mouth and went close to her ear and purposely said a few words. In a flash, she covered her red face and ran away, but Gu Danyan laughed so hard that he couldn't even straighten up.

Qi Lin hurriedly chased after her. Qi Rou looked at her curiously. ”You bullied her again.”

”It's always been fun, I didn't expect her to be with Qi Lin for so long, I just told her about the hidden secrets and she ran away blushing.” Gu Mingyan smiled as she thought back to those days at Prince Jing's estate. She also teased Yin Gou in such a way, but it wasn't as straightforward as it was today.

Qi Rou's face turned pale as she slapped her hard on the shoulder. ”She's thin-skinned, even your sister doesn't know how she became one.”

As he spoke, he chased after them.

Watching the few of them leave, Gu Daiyan was ready to stop laughing. He wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and mumbled to himself, ”The little lass from before has become someone else's wife. Unknowingly, a few years have passed.”

Duan Chengxuan didn't notice the loneliness in Gu Danyan's eyes and could only helplessly say, ”You've always been the Madam.”

”Do you think I look like that?” Gu Danyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he pointed to himself and helplessly said: ”Perhaps you are right. Heaven gave me up to be a woman. He didn't want me to become anything big.”

Duan Chengxuan frowned as he looked at her. He raised his hand and fiercely rubbed her head. ”A savage person like you started to feel inferior. You aren't giving others a chance to live.”

Gu Danyan held his head and looked at him, ”Didn't you want me to become your subordinate? Isn't that what men do? ”

Veins bulged on his forehead, and Duan Chengxuan placed a hand on his forehead as he coldly said, ”Don't compare me to Ai Xu.”

”You're not a man, you're a beast.” Gu Daiyan pointed in the direction of the river: ”You want me to fish to relieve the boredom, where is the bait?”

”It's in the box next to it.” Duan Chengxuan suddenly felt a headache.

Gu Liuyan tilted his head: ”Aren't those earthworms? I was stuck in the ground, didn't you say you were going to relieve my boredom? ”

”…” Duan Cheng Xuan was speechless for a moment, but instead it was the ghosts that laughed out when she heard this. They pushed open the door curtain and walked in as they asked Gu Mingyan, ”Could it be that earthworms aren't bait?”
