Gu Lan slowly walked to Rong Heng’s bedside, and under the moonlight streaming through the window’s gap, she slightly bowed her head, gazing at him for a while.
His eyes were closed, and his soft black hair sunk into the pillow. From his strong brow bones to his nose, there was a perfectly clean arc.
The sleeping Rong Heng looked even more appetizing.
The more she looked, the hungrier she beca.
Gu Lan swallowed, her breath almost falling on Rong Heng’s face, and then she turned and left the room.
How could she have such improper thoughts about her brother?
After Gu Lan left, Rong Heng opened his eyes and then buried his head in the quilt. In the darkness, the young man’s ear tips turned crimson.
Gu Lan walked out of the room, and the cold wind sobered her up quite a bit.
Suddenly, she heard a rustling sound: "Who’s there?"
Just as she asked, Wei Chengyuan, who was sleeping in the courtyard, opened his eyes alertly.
His amber eyes were full of confusion, and Gu Lan imdiately ran to him and calmly said, "Close your eyes and go back to sleep."
Wei Chengyuan, seeing Gu Lan, whispered "Lanlan" and then glanced around before falling back into his dreams.
Gu Lan sotis wondered why this man could trust her unconditionally.
Perhaps this is the immovable love of a father.
Because she was the first person Wei Chengyuan saw after losing his mory, he mistook her for his father.
"It’s ."
At this mont, Xie Yun poked his head over the wall, then jumped down in front of Gu Lan.
Though he was dressed in white and looked like an Immortal in the moonlight, his manner of climbing over the wall seed quite awkward to her.
"Sorry, Lan, I didn’t an to spy on you... It’s just that you were being too noisy." Xie Yun said, as he had been woken up long ago by the sound of soldiers from the nearby Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, then he slled the aroma of hot pot.
Gu Lan glanced at the sky, realizing it was already past midnight.
Alright, it really was late at night, but today was a holiday.
The horoom teacher lived next door, and he was woken by her late-night hot pot aroma, which left her speechless.
Xie Yun’s eyes fell on the sleeping Wei Chengyuan on the ground, a flicker of surprise passing through them: "Why is he here?"
In his previous wall-climbing episodes, Wei Chengyuan was always hidden, and with Rong Heng present, he never noticed him.
It was only now that Xie Yun clearly saw Wei Chengyuan’s face.
Gu Lan imdiately looked up, surprised: "Do you know him?"
"Not exactly," Xie Yun pondered for a mont and shook his head, "but I’ve seen him here."
"What does that an?"
Xie Yun looked around and gestured to Gu Lan: "Co up."
Without hesitation, Gu Lan swiftly climbed up the wall and then lifted Xie Yun, sitting on her own rooftop.
With a "crack," a tile fell from the roof ridge and shattered crisply in the night.
Xie Yun grabbed the eaves, trying hard to calm his rapidly beating heart, and said, "Gu, Gu, Young Master’s qinggong is really good."
Gu Lan: "Qinggong is my worst skill."
Xie Yun: ...
Only then did she notice Xie Yun’s sweat-soaked forehead and slightly pale face, teasing him: "Advisor Xie, are you afraid of heights?"
Xie Yun nodded and then shook his head: "How could that be... Jingqi is just not used to it for a mont... Let’s just go back down."
Gu Lan: "Afraid of heights but climbing walls every day."
Xie Yun: I’d love to climb a tree, but soone chopped it down.
"Now tell , where have you seen him?" Gu Lan asked, looking down at the peacefully sleeping Wei Chengyuan under her blanket.
This man had been silently following her for a long ti. Even if he was just a sandbag, he was her sandbag, and she wanted to find out who he really was.
Xie Yun did not hide it. He attempted to stand up from the rooftop, then let out a deep breath, saying, "More than ten years ago, when you were just a babbling child, I saw him in this backyard... feeding you.
At that ti, I was just a child as well. When he saw , he threw you into a cradle and ran away."
Gu Lan never expected him to say that.
Could it be that Wei Chengyuan is a creep?
Calling her Lanlan not because he mistook her for Wei Lan, but because... he actually knew her all along.
With no useful information from Xie Yun, Gu Lan sighed, "Advisor Xie, do you need to take you down?"
Xie Yun adapted quickly, despite his still pale face, he regained composure, surprising Gu Lan slightly.
Xie Yun’s eyes narrowed slightly, his lips curling into a smile: "Lan, when you helped Fifth Young Master Rong back to the room, you didn’t ask if he needed it."
