"Miss Yan, Miss Yan." Zi Su half-squatted on the side of the chaise longue and called Gu Yanran softly.

Gu Yanran woke up from her dream. "Ahh

Zi Su thought that she was scaring Gu Yanran, and she felt sorry in her heart. "I'm sorry, girl, the slave scared you."

"It's okay, it's none of your business, it's just a nightmare." Gu Yanran raised her hand to cover her chest, feeling that her heart rhythm was beating at an abnormal speed.

In the dream just now, Nangong Xuanyu has been facing each other with his back.

She tried to call him, but she couldn't make any sound.

She wanted to keep him, but she couldn't touch him.

Then, the dream repeated the picture of her last time watching Nangong Xuanyi leave in her previous life.

Then, there was the picture of Nangong Xuanyi screaming hoarsely after learning of her death.

At the end of the dream, Nangong Xuanyi was deposed as the prince because of her refusal to marry, and a year later she rushed to her grave on her sacrifice day and was about to raise her sword to kill herself.

Fortunately, at this critical juncture, she was awakened by Shiso.

Fortunately, what she had just seen was just a dream.

It wasn't until Gu Yanran's mood slowly calmed down and her heart rhythm gradually slowed down that she looked at Zisu. "What time is it?"

"It's five o'clock, it's almost time for dinner."

"I see." Gu Yanran nodded, half-propped herself up and leaned back on the soft back of the chaise longituna.

Shiso handed over a cup of warm tea at the right time. "Miss Yan, please use it."

Gu Yanran took a sip of tea, but she saw that all the curtains around her had been lowered. "Is it raining?"

"The rain fell shortly after you fell asleep, and now it's stopped." Shiso replied.

"Put the curtain up, it's too dark." Gu Yanran commanded.

"Yes."

Shiso has always been neat in his work, and he closed a few curtains in a short time.

"Girl." Shisu walked back to Yanran's side. "Would you like to dine here later?"

Gu Yanran was not hungry for the time being, so she refused. "I ate a lot of pastries today, so I won't eat them yet."

"Yes." Shiso is not much to persuade. "The slave will ask Sitao to warm your food later, and bring it to you when you are hungry."

"That's it." Gu Yanran couldn't resist the continuous drowsiness of her head, and pressed her temples with her fingertips. "Zisu, you step down first, let me stay alone for a while."

"The slave and maid are gone."

……

……

Gu Yanran has maintained a posture of leaning half against the chaise longue since Zi Su left the pavilion.

If it weren't for the fact that her temples were still rubbing her hands, she would have been mistaken for having fallen asleep again.

'Click, click, click', footsteps sounded again.

Gu Yanran was interrupted and was a little depressed for a while.

"I said I won't ......eat it," Gu Yanran was stunned after seeing the person coming.

She thought that the person who came was Zisu, but the person she didn't want to see was Nangong Xuanyi.

"Skipping dinner?" Nangong Xuanyi did not approach Gu Yanran, but sat down at the tea table and poured a cup of tea self-sufficiently.

The tea was already cold, but he didn't care, and even drank it with relish.

"......" Gu Yanran watched this scene silently.

Nangong Xuanyi put down the teacup, and before he had time to hide his cold gaze, he went straight to Gu Yanran. "Why don't you eat?"

"If you don't want to eat, you don't eat." Gu Yanran turned her head and avoided Nangong Xuanyi's gaze.

"I've heard all the rumors of today."

"......" Gu Yanran didn't speak.

"I also know about your joint impeachment."

"......" Gu Yanran still didn't speak.

Nangong Xuanyi was not annoyed, and continued to speak as if talking to himself.

"I'm sorry, it's all because of me that you got this going through."

“……”

"If you want to scold me, scold me, if you want to beat me, just beat me, I will never complain."

“……”

"Or, if there's anything you need my help with, just ask."

“……”

"If the situation reaches the point of no return, I will be responsible for you."

Gu Yanran finally reacted when she heard this, but she took Nangong Xuanyi's words as a sarcasm for her. "Heh, responsible. How are you responsible? Marry me? ”

"Okay." Nangong Xuanyi did not hesitate.

"O_o" Gu Yanran wondered if she had misheard. "What did you say?"

Nangong Xuanyi said solemnly. "I said, 'Okay, I'll marry you.'"

"Don't, I don't need you to be responsible." Gu Yanran repented.

She wants Nangong Xuanyi to marry her, but she doesn't want him to marry her for reasons other than 'loving her'.

In the word 'responsible', the word 'responsible' in the back is the main one.

She doesn't want to be treated as a 'responsibility' by him.

Having said that, she had decided not to go near him anymore, so she had better not always have unrealistic delusions about him.

"Let's go." Gu Yanran gave an eviction order. "In the future, let's keep our distance."

Her reputation is not completely ruined, and only by keeping a distance from him can she ensure that she will not be implicated.

But as soon as the words came out, Gu Yanran had an inexplicable feeling of familiarity.

She seems to ...... Something like that was said.

When was it?

Ah, remembered.

In her previous life, she said to Nangong Xuanyi in person, 'See you again, stranger'.

That time, in retrospect, it was too decisive.

She still clearly remembered that when she said that, Nangong Xuanyi had an expression of disbelief with a hurt expression.

This time, her 'keep your distance' should be very tactful, right?

"Don't think!" Nangong Xuanyi flashed to Gu Yanran's side, knelt on one knee on the chaise longue, leaned over and bullied her, trapping her between her arms. "What are you talking about keeping your distance, it's obvious that you came to provoke me first!"

"......" Gu Yanran was stunned in front of this somewhat domineering and childish man.

She hadn't expected him to react like this!

It was precisely because of Nangong Xuanyi's move that Gu Yanran really realized it...... This man is really not the 'Nangong Xuanyi' she knows!

Nangong Xuanyi found that the people under him were already absent-minded, and he couldn't help but feel angry and funny. "You can get distracted at this time?"

Gu Yanran came back to her senses and pushed Nangong Xuanyi away. "I'm thinking about life, can't I?"

"Yes, of course." Can he say no? No.

"Ugh." Gu Yanran sighed in frustration. "I'm so tired."

For the first time, she felt that Nangong Xuanyi's character in this life was quite annoying, and she was really tired.

She's the worst at dealing with this kind of person.

Nangong Xuanyi thought that Gu Yanran was troubled by what happened today. "What's next for you?"

"I don't know, I don't have an idea." Gu Yanran collapsed back on the chaise longue couch.

She really didn't know what to do.

The identity of Mr. Shangheng is gone, the acting head of the school can't be done, and the official rank of Zhengwupin is gone.

The main thing is that her reputation is worse than before her birth.

Alas......
