Stay at Xiao's House

"If Xun'er doesn't agree, will Brother Gu Xiao disappear again and deliberately avoid Xun'er again?" Gu Xun'er stared directly at Lu Yunxiao, her big eyes carrying a hint of complaint, and she spoke quietly.

"Xun'er, I..." Lu Yunxiao fell silent. If Gu Xun'er couldn't keep the secret, even if he didn't want to, he would have to distance himself from her to protect himself.

After all, he wouldn't easily put himself in danger.

But he also believed that Gu Xun'er wouldn't let him down.

"Kaoru knows it, she won't tell," Gu Xun'er said, lowering her head, her voice tinged with a touch of sadness.

She wasn't foolish; she could see that Lu Yunxiao was wary of the Ancients.

If Lu Yunxiao had no reservations about the Ancients, he wouldn't have left. She had considered all of this.

There must be reasons she didn't know.

She also knew that the Ancients had been searching for Lu Yunxiao, but if she were to tell them what had happened to him and separate them again, she would rather keep it a secret.

She had been separated from Lu Yunxiao for nine years, and she didn't want to lose him again; she couldn't bear it.

Lu Yunxiao also said that he didn't want to see other people from the Ancient Race for now, rather than disappearing in the future. Since he would meet the Ancients again in the future, there was no rush at the moment.

Most importantly, if she didn't agree, she would see Lu Yunxiao's disappointment, and she didn't want that.

Seeing Gu Xun'er lower her head and look a bit dejected, Lu Yunxiao gently embraced her waist, allowing her to rest her little head on his shoulder.

"Xun'er, Gu Xiao brother also has difficulties, but Gu Xiao brother promises you that sooner or later, Gu Xiao brother will step into the Ancient World again openly, and when that time comes..."

"What will happen then?" Gu Xun'er raised her head and looked at Lu Yunxiao with bright eyes.

"At that time, we... well, I won't tell you," Lu Yunxiao said halfway, looking at Gu Xun'er with an expectant look on his face, then suddenly smiled and left it at that.

"Brother Gu Xiao really won't tell Kaoru?"

Gu Xun'er paused, her eyes narrowing slightly, revealing her cute little tiger teeth.

"Xun'er, if you have something to say, don't move," Lu Yunxiao shuddered, feeling pain in his chest.

"Hehe."

Gu Xun'er giggled mischievously, then suddenly opened her little cherry mouth and lunged towards Lu Yunxiao.

"Hiss!"

Suddenly, Lu Yunxiao's face twitched, and he took a sharp breath.

...

On the bustling street, Lu Yunxiao and Gu Xun'er walked side by side, their Tsing Yi and white robes making them an unusual pair.

Gu Xun'er's eyes sparkled, and she glanced at Lu Yunxiao from time to time, a sweet smile playing at the corners of her mouth.

"Brother Gu Xiao, does your neck still hurt?" Gu Xun'er asked in a soft voice.

"What do you mean?" Lu Yunxiao retorted, pulling his collar up to hide the love bite that had been left there. It was too exposed and would tarnish their reputation if anyone saw it.

Besides, he didn't want people to know what had transpired between him and Gu Kaoru.

"Hehe, it's because Brother Gu Xiao deliberately provoked Xun'er," Gu Xun'er said with a laugh, taking the initiative to hold Lu Yunxiao's hand.

Holding hands was something they had done naturally among the Ancients, and Gu Xun'er extended her hand without any hesitation.

They were already grown up, and although they were brought together casually, the unfamiliar feeling still rippled in their hearts.

Lu Yunxiao subconsciously squeezed Gu Xun'er's small hand. It was soft, tender, and exquisite, with a warm touch like fine warm jade. Holding it felt very comfortable.

"Brother Gu Xiao..." Feeling the warmth from Lu Yunxiao's hand, Gu Xun'er's face flushed, but she still looked at him without shyness.

While Gu Xun'er had a somewhat shy demeanor, she was a girl who was very straightforward in dealing with her feelings. If she liked someone, she wouldn't deliberately hide her emotions.

Just like now, she didn't say much, but Lu Yunxiao understood what she meant.

"Xun'er..." Lu Yunxiao spoke suddenly.

"What's wrong, Brother Gu Xiao?" Gu Xun'er responded.

"Don't call me Brother Gu Xiao outside anymore, call me Yunxiao," Lu Yunxiao whispered.

Gu Xun'er fell silent for a moment and then smiled. "Alright, Brother Yunxiao it is, then."

She understood that Lu Yunxiao didn't want to reveal his true identity as Gu Xiao.

"Well, that's good. By the way, is Ling Ying secretly protecting you?" Lu Yunxiao asked casually.

"Yes, but I deliberately asked Old Ling to stay away from us. He can't hear what we're saying," Gu Xun'er replied without hiding anything.

"Oh, I see." Lu Yunxiao nodded and stopped talking.

The two continued walking and soon arrived at the Xiao family's residence.

"Oh, you two are back. We've been waiting for you for a while," Xiao Yu's group greeted them. "Where did you go? It took so long?"

"We just took a casual stroll with Xun'er. Even though Utan City is small, it's quite lively, and the scenery is not bad," Lu Yunxiao replied with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xun'er chuckled softly. Lu Yunxiao was becoming quite skilled at telling lies.

Clearly, his attention had been mostly on her, so where had he seen any scenery?

However, Lu Yunxiao didn't know what Gu Xun'er was thinking; otherwise, he would probably say that she was the most beautiful scenery.

Love is indeed a strange thing, and no one can predict how it will develop.

Gu Xun'er giggled softly, while Xiao Yu's group exchanged glances and were left feeling slightly bewildered.

Even after being gone for so long, they had already become a couple?

Xiao Yu couldn't help but place a hand over her heart, which felt like it was about to give her a heart attack.

Her crush! ! !

"It seems that you two are doing well, very good, very good," Teacher Ruolin said with a smile. She was genuinely happy for both of them since they were her students. If they could be together, she would be delighted.
