Gu Yanjing caught a glimpse of her, and amidst the continuous praise, so of the long-standing frost in his eyes lted away.
...
It’s past eleven.
Gu Yanjing and Qiao Yuxian ca out of the study.
Gu Yanjing walked towards his bedroom and saw Qiao Yuxian heading downstairs, so he stopped and looked at her.
He watched as she went downstairs to the side hall, and after a while, ca back with Zhaocai. She brought Zhaocai upstairs and t him in the corridor.
Gu Yanjing watched her.
Qiao Yuxian patted Zhaocai’s head and said, "Co, say goodnight to brother."
Zhaocai looked at him and after a while, reluctantly barked twice.
Gu Yanjing glanced at it and then looked at Qiao Yuxian, "Why are you bringing it along?"
"To sleep, of course." Qiao Yuxian bent down to stroke Zhaocai’s head, "It’s been a while, we need to catch up tonight."
Zhaocai wagged its tail at her.
But when facing Gu Yanjing, it imdiately adopted a cool deanor.
Gu Yanjing looked at the pair of them, his lips moved slightly but he couldn’t speak. In his mind, a picture ford of her sleeping with Zhaocai in her arms.
"Alright, off to bed." Qiao Yuxian said, leading it past Gu Yanjing, towards her room.
Gu Yanjing watched as they passed by, happily reached the door to her room, and saw Qiao Yuxian open the door, letting Zhaocai in first.
He clenched his hand.
Qiao Yuxian entered the room, then ca back out, looked at Gu Yanjing, and said, "Gu Yanjing, you should reconsider about Feng Chuanbai. Right now really isn’t the best ti."
She knew that Gu Yanjing realized now wasn’t a good ti to take action against him.
Otherwise, after eting Feng Chuanbai, Gu Yanjing wouldn’t have refrained from acting imdiately.
But now, taking action seed inevitable, largely because of her.
Gu Yanjing looked at her.
"They say revenge is a dish best served cold," Qiao Yuxian said with a smile, "There’s no need to rush it."
"I have a plan," Gu Yanjing replied.
Qiao Yuxian nodded and didn’t say more, "Alright then. I’m going to sleep. Goodnight."
With that, she went into her room and closed the door.
Gu Yanjing stood at his own door, looking at the closed door for a long ti before he returned to his room.
...
The following two weeks or so passed in the sa manner.
Every night, Qiao Yuxian and Gu Yanjing would be in the study, and when returning to her room, she’d bring Zhaocai back with her.
Gu Yanjing would stand in the corridor every night, watching Zhaocai enter her room.
At first, it was fine, but over ti, Zhaocai seed to sense sothing.
Every ti before entering Qiao Yuxian’s room, it would cast a subtle glance at Gu Yanjing.
If it weren’t for the fact that it’s a dog, Gu Yanjing would have kicked it out a thousand tis...
Before he knew it, November arrived, and as the weather got colder, Qiao Yuxian’s Special 8 exam neared, and so of her course tasks beca more intense.
Gradually, she beca busy.
She had to get up early every day, and went to bed late at night.
Finally, on a Saturday, she resisted the urge to sleep in, got up early, and took Zhaocai back to the Qiao Family.
Qiao Lech still hadn’t gone to school, refusing to leave the house, even worse than before, sotis locking herself in her room and not wanting to co out.
When they wanted to take her to see a doctor, she refused to go.
When Qiao Yu invited a doctor to the house, she locked herself in her room, refusing to et them.
The doctor tried to talk to her through the door, but she wouldn’t say a word and was completely uncooperative.
No one in the family dared to upset her.
Qiao Yuxian would go back to the Qiao Family two or three tis a week to keep Qiao Lech company and would consult Shen Wenyan based on her changing condition.
Shen Wenyan, aware of the things she found hard to say, assisted her as much as possible, providing solutions and treatnt options.
However, he never asked unnecessary questions.
Qiao Lech spoke less and less, so Qiao Yuxian planned to try bringing Zhaocai along.
She was unwilling to be close to people, but maybe she would be willing to be close to animals.
Zhaocai was very smart; Qiao Yuxian talked to it at length before going to the Qiao Family. So, in front of Qiao Lech, it dropped its aloof deanor.
It actively approached her.
Perhaps due to its initiative, or perhaps because Zhaocai indeed had an appealing appearance with a very likable face.
Qiao Lech took a liking to it, and for the first ti, a smile appeared on her face.
Zhaocai accompanied her in a side hall, along with Qiao Zhiang.
Qiao Yuxian and Qiao Yu and his wife were in the living room, occasionally glancing over without disturbing them.
"Yu Xian, have you been busy lately?" Chen Hui asked, "They say on the forum that this sester of senior year is very busy."
