That night, Gu Jiangnian truly returned to Mengxi Garden and stayed on for two consecutive days, Yu Se couldn't shoo him away no matter how hard she tried.
Gu Jiangnian declared, "If I go back, I have nowhere to sleep."
Although Yu Se appeared huffy on the surface, her heart still softened a bit upon seeing Gu Jiangnian persist.
The morning of the next day, Yu Se sat down for breakfast and looked at Gu Jiangnian, speaking in a softer tone than her usual assertiveness, "Find an opportunity to bring him back for a meal."
Gu Jiangnian was taken aback, nearly losing his grip on the chopsticks in his hand as he stared at Yu Se, unable to snap back to reality for a long time.
The emotions churning inside him felt like an overturned seasoning rack, a mix of all flavors. He believed he was fortunate in this life – be it suffering or refinement, it was all a foundation for life.
