Gu Zhi woke up two days later.
Cai Na had barely slept, keeping vigil at Gu Zhi's bedside the whole ti. Sang Li did not even have a chance to get near him.
Several tis she wanted to go in and see him, but stood at the door for a long ti before eventually leaving again.
When Gu Zhi woke up, the person he saw sitting at his bedside was Cai Na. His eyes visibly darkened.
He stared blankly at the ceiling, not knowing what he was thinking.
Cai Na had been dozing off leaning on the bedside when Ku Li happened to co in.
"Cai Na, hasn't the young chieftain woken up yet?" Ku Li walked in and saw Gu Zhi with his eyes open, staring at the ceiling.
"Young chieftain, you're awake??" Ku Li cried out joyfully. Cai Na also woke up with a start.
"Ah? Gu Zhi is awake?" Cai Na imdiately stood up when she saw Gu Zhi lying in bed with his eyes open.
"Gu Zhi, how are you feeling now?" Cai Na hastily asked.
"Why is it you two? Where is my sister?" Gu Zhi asked expressionlessly.
Cai Na knitted her brows. "What do you an? You still haven't regained your mory?"
Gu Zhi sat up in bed. "No."
"How could that be?" Ku Li said in bewildernt. "The mother bug in the young chieftain's body has clearly awakened!"
Gu Zhi got out of bed, put on his shoes, and prepared to go out.
"Where are you going?" Cai Na stopped him.
"I'm going to find my sister! Let go!" Gu Zhi said coldly.
"Sister, sister, all you think about day and night is finding your sister! Gu Zhi, you are the young chieftain of the Miao ethnicity, don't forget your identity and mission!" Cai Na said angrily.
Gu Zhi paused, but still shook off Cai Na's hand and walked out.
Cai Na stamped her foot in anger and looked at Ku Li. "Does he really still not have his mory back?"
Ku Li was also uncertain now. "This... I'm not too sure either."
...
In the courtyard.
The four sisters were sitting in the yard, talking about Gu Zhi.
"I didn't expect Gu Zhi to be the young chieftain of the Miao ethnicity. Will he go back to Miao Territory after he wakes up?" Xia Miaomiao said.
"What do you all think, is the Gu poison magic of the Miao really that incredible?" Xiao Han stroked his chin. "It seems there are many things we didn't know about in the book we transmigrated into!"
Sang Li kept her eyes lowered without speaking.
"Sister Li, what will you do if Gu Zhi really leaves?" Xia Miaomiao asked.
Sang Li hesitated. "If he leaves, wouldn't that be better? After all... I hope he leaves too."
"What if he still doesn't leave?" Su Mo asked.
Sang Li's eyes wavered, sowhat vexed. "I don't know... I feel very conflicted."
"Sister!" Gu Zhi's voice ca over.
Sang Li turned her head to see Gu Zhi running over. Seeing him awake, she imdiately stood up, a look of delight on her face.
"Gu Zhi? You're awake?"
Gu Zhi ran over and unabashedly pulled Sang Li into a tight hug. "Yes, I'm fine. I worried you!"
Sang Li was stunned for a mont, and actually forgot to push him away.
The three onlookers imdiately took out their phones and snapped a photo of them.
It was only when Sang Li saw Cai Na and Ku Li not far behind Gu Zhi, and that Cai Na did not look pleased, that she hurriedly pushed Gu Zhi away, her expression turning cold again.
"I'm glad you're alright." Sang Li looked at Cai Na and Ku Li. "They were the ones who saved you."
Seeing Sang Li's attitude, Gu Zhi's eyes darkened.
"Have you regained your mory? Do you rember them?" Sang Li asked. "They should have been sent by your family to find you."
Gu Zhi did not directly answer Sang Li's question, but said, "You said that as long as I don't want to leave, you won't make leave."
Sang Li was taken aback. "You still haven't regained your mory?"
Gu Zhi lowered his eyes. "No."
Cai Na imdiately ran over. "Even if you haven't regained your mory, you still have to co back with us!"
Gu Zhi did not answer Cai Na, but looked at Sang Li. "Sister, do you want to leave?"
"Stop pressuring her, whether I leave or not is my own business!" Gu Zhi imdiately said.
"You..." Cai Na looked at Gu Zhi in frustration. "You really have no sense of responsibility! I was wrong about you, Cai Na! When sothing happens to your father, let's see what you'll do then?!"
Cai Na left Qinglin Academy in a huff, and Ku Li imdiately followed her out.
Sang Li felt as if a huge boulder was pressing down on her heart.
...
That night, Sang Li tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
She thought a lot before finally getting up to find Gu Zhi.
Gu Zhi still had not slept even at midnight. The light was on in his room as he stood by the window gazing at the moon in the sky.
A knock sounded at the door.
Gu Zhi stirred, a bitterness welling up in his heart.
How he hoped not to hear that knock tonight.
The door opened and Gu Zhi saw Sang Li standing there in white robes, his eyes clouded with mist that could not disperse.
"Sister..."
"You're not asleep yet?"
Gu Zhi shook his head and let her in. Sang Li followed him into the room.
"Is there sothing you wanted to see for?" Gu Zhi asked lightly.
Sang Li glanced at him. "Go back to the Miao ethnicity."
Gu Zhi paused but did not have much reaction to Sang Li's words.
He went to the window, with his back facing her, his voice betraying no emotion.
"So you still want to drive away? Right?"
Sang Li lowered her eyes. "They were right, you are the young chieftain of the Miao ethnicity after all, and you have your responsibilities."
Gu Zhi slowly turned around, his expression becoming sowhat gloomy.
"After everything I've done, I don't even get a word from you asking to stay. Is that it?"
Sang Li looked at him and realized he seed sowhat different from before.
His eyes were no longer so simple.
"You regained your mory?" Sang Li looked at him.
Gu Zhi walked closer to her, his gaze seemingly wanting to consu her. "Sister, you really are so clever."
"Then why did you deceive us?"
"I just wanted to see if you would ask to stay, sister. Cai Na and I have no betrothal." Gu Zhi looked at her, hoping for a word from her to make him stay.
Sang Li looked at him and said lightly, "Regardless of whether you and her have a betrothal, you are still the young chieftain of the Miao ethnicity. We are simply not of the sa world."
"I don't want to hear this!" Gu Zhi's voice grew louder, unwillingness in his eyes. "Sister, I only want you to tell , do you really not have any feelings for at all?"
Sang Li looked into his eyes for a long mont before hoarsely uttering a single word. "Yes."
That one "yes" was like a sword piercing his heart, deeply wounding Gu Zhi.
For a long ti, Gu Zhi did not speak.
Sang Li turned to leave.
Her wrist was suddenly gripped tightly.
