Also, many thanks to everyone who bought me coffee (*≧∀≦*)

Gu Jiao looked at the handwriting on the paper, noticing it was different from the handwriting on the address Jing Kong had. This was understandable since most people’s writing differed between hands.

Gu Jiao took out a note stained with dye from her pouch and handed it to her, "Did you leave this?"

The girl looked at it and her eyes brightened as she wrote: "Young Master, did you find Jing Kong?"

Seeing her excitement, Gu Jiao found it hard to believe she was a cruel girl, "You even know his name is Jing Kong?"

The girl quickly wrote: "He told me. I found him alone and pitiful at a dock in the State of Yan, so I took him with me."

"Which dock?" Gu Jiao asked.

"Tongcheng Dock." The girl wrote.

There indeed was such a dock in the State of Yan, though it wasn’t on the main route to Shengdu. Why was Jing Kong there?

Who brought him to the State of Yan?

"I asked him about his past, but he wouldn’t say." The girl continued to write: "He only said he was coming to Shengdu to find JiaoJiao. When I asked who JiaoJiao was, he wouldn’t tell."

Could it be that Jing Kong was kidnapped to the State of Yan and then escaped, only to meet this kind-hearted girl afterward?

She had misunderstood; this girl hadn’t mistreated Jing Kong. She had been good to him.

As for why Jing Kong escaped, it was likely because he was eager to find her.

This wasn't impossible.

As for why Jing Kong didn’t let the girl bring him to find her, it was because she was using Xiao Liulang’s admission doc.u.ments, and her ident.i.ty couldn’t be revealed.

Jing Kong was a smart child.

"I see, I misunderstood you." Gu Jiao said to the girl.

The girl smiled and wrote: "Did you think I mistreated him and came to cause trouble for me? How are you related to him that you care so much for him?"

Gu Jiao didn’t answer her question but said, "It was all a misunderstanding, I apologize. Thank you for taking care of Jing Kong. I will repay your kindness when I get the chance. I’ll leave now. Take care."

Next door was a storeroom, and Xiao Heng pressed his ear against the wall, listening until Gu Jiao finished speaking and left. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

He had orchestrated everything——he found the person, he provided the lines, and he came up with a reason for the different handwriting. He had managed to deceive her completely.

But he didn’t feel as happy as he expected.

In fact, he felt a bit disappointed.

He wanted to see her.

Very much so.

He wanted to confront her face-to-face and ask her directly how she had been during this time.

He had never missed someone so much that it made his heart ache.

Even though he was so angry with her, he still worried about whether she was taking good care of herself.

Xiao Heng rubbed his chest, took a deep breath, and stepped out of the storeroom.

He walked to the dormitory door, thinking about how she had just been there. Suddenly, he regretted letting her go.

If he had known, he wouldn't have let her leave.

He lowered his gaze and pushed the door open, his eyes scanning the ground. Then, he abruptly lifted his head!

Gu Jiao, who had supposedly left, was standing right in front of him, looking at him steadily with a slight smile on her lips, "Lord Xiao, long time no see."

Xiao Heng: "!!!"

Xiao Heng seemed like he had been struck by lightning, standing frozen in place for quite a while before suddenly realizing the situation.

He looked down at his brightly colored academy uniform and immediately turned to run!

Gu Jiao reached out with a nimble hand and swiftly grabbed the collar of his clothes, pulling him into the room, slamming the door shut, and pinning him against it. She then extended her other hand, reached around his back, and slid the bolt into place!

Every movement was seamless, completed in one fluid motion.

Gu Jiao looked at Xiao Heng, who found himself unable to breathe.

Whether it was her impressively swift actions or her piercing gaze, Xiao Heng's mind went blank for a moment.

Everything had happened too suddenly; Xiao Heng couldn’t understand how she had stayed behind. She had clearly said goodbye, and he had clearly heard her leave.

In reality, it was the famous opera performer he had brought back from the theater who had left.

Gu Jiao coldly eyed Xiao Heng, her fingertips brus.h.i.+ng across his handsome face as she narrowed her eyes dangerously: "Husband, you look so pitiful like this. From now on, should I call you Lord Xiao or Beauty Xiao?"

Xiao Heng choked, his face turning red with anger as he glared at her, "You’re angry? Who was it that drugged me and left me behind? I haven't settled that score with you yet!"

Gu Jiao's eyes s.h.i.+fted slightly: "Oh."

She had forgotten about that.

Gu Jiao let go of his collar and began straightening the clothes she had messed up, her expression instantly turning meek.

See, there she goes again.

Whenever she knew she was in the wrong, she would act all obedient.

He couldn't forgive her so easily, or she wouldn't learn her lesson and might leave him behind again in the future!

Xiao Heng brushed her hand away and coldly walked over to the table and sat down.

Gu Jiao blinked and followed him, sitting beside him.

Gu Jiao reached for the teapot to pour him some tea.

"It’s hot!" He quickly stopped her hand, grabbed a thick cloth from the table, and took the teapot off the stove.

After doing so, he realized he shouldn't have acted like that, as if he had already forgiven her. He quickly put on a cold expression again.

Besides wanting to settle scores with Gu Jiao, another reason was to divert her attention so she wouldn't notice his women's clothing.

Gu Jiao propped her chin on her hands, looking at him, "So the academy's number one beauty is actually you, husband."

It all made sense now. No wonder even Su Xue was jealous; her husband was indeed the most beautiful, and that was non-negotiable!

Xiao Heng choked.

Fortunately, it was getting dark, and the room wasn't lit, so his flushed face couldn't be seen.

"Isn't that because of you?" He said sternly.

"Oh." Gu Jiao's lips curved into a smile as she continued to look at him without blinking.

Xiao Heng: "I'm talking to you about something serious!"

Gu Jiao: "Mm."

She continued to stare at him intently.

Xiao Heng felt so uncomfortable under her gaze that he wanted to cover her eyes with his hand.

Gu Jiao's lips curved slightly as she said, "Husband looks quite charming like this too."

Could this girl please stop talking!

If she hadn’t taken his admission doc.u.ments, would he have needed to use hers?!

"How did you figure it out earlier?" Xiao Heng desperately tried to change the subject.

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:

Description:

In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the s.h.i.+ family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succ.u.mb to darkness amidst hards.h.i.+p and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.

When s.h.i.+ Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the s.h.i.+ family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.

The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.

From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.

***

Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like s.h.i.+ Dai.

After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"

s.h.i.+ Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"

s.h.i.+ Dai replied, "Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don't abandon me, alri—”

s.h.i.+ Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

He hasn't finished his lines yet though…
