The two fell silent for a moment. Suddenly, the Demonically Charming Man seemed to remember something and continued, "Do you remember saying at Old Man Mo's that your life is mine? You just mentioned that as long as I agree to those two conditions of yours, you will cook delicious meals for me every day from now on? You must keep your word."
"Uh? Oh! Naturally."
Ziyan looked at Gu Yuxuan, whose enchanting eyes revealed a hint of cunning.
But thinking about her words was like water spilled out—once spilled, it couldn't be retrieved! As the saying goes, "Spilled water cannot be gathered." After a brief moment of hesitation, she firmly nodded.
"Good, once a word is spoken, even a team of horses cannot chase it back!"
After saying this, Gu Yuxuan slapped the table hard and picked up a cup of tea in front of him.
"We swear with tea; as long as Sister Ziyan does not go back on today's vow, I, Gu Yuxuan, will never abandon you in the future!"
What? This guy clearly hasn't had any alcohol!
She wondered what this Monster was up to.
However, after thinking it over again, she realized she had nothing for him to scheme about. But wasn't this promise of never abandoning her a bit exaggerated? Sigh! Forget it; first, she would flatter him into teaching her Martial Arts, then earn a lot of money to establish a Cycle of Fate that belonged solely to her, Ziyan!
After barely filling her stomach, Ziyan didn't even feel like packing up. After paying more than fifty taels of silver, she inwardly cursed the restaurant for being a scam.
Then she continued to wander around the market with Gu Yuxuan for quite some time. As the sun began to set in the west, Ziyan rushed into a flower shop and bought two simple yet elegant hairpins—one in light purple and one in light blue—for herself and Ziying before setting off toward the city gate with Gu Yuxuan.
Once outside County Town, Ziyan looked back at the road they came from and shook her head. "Brother Yuxuan, let's take the small path." She then fixed her determined gaze on Gu Yuxuan.
Gu Yuxuan looked down at Ziyan with a doubtful expression. "Are you sure you want to take the mountain path? It's uneven and steep, and you might encounter fierce wild beasts. Think carefully!"
After saying this, he deliberately put on a fierce and terrifying expression as he stared at the little girl in front of him who seemed unaware of the dangers.
"Cut it out; childish and boring." Ziyan couldn't help but roll her eyes at the Monster in front of her. She secretly scoffed: Not to mention that in my previous life I trained to be brave in police school; even now—if the sky were to fall, wouldn't there be this tall guy with superb Martial Arts skills beside me to hold it up?
Hmph—Ziyan looked disdainfully at Gu Yuxuan.
"I have already decided, let's take the mountain path. Please lead the way, Gu Yuxuan!"
Gu Yuxuan glanced mischievously at Ziyan and replied with a simple "Okay," before striding confidently towards a rugged path on the right side of the Official Road.
After passing through a relatively flat area filled with various small trees, Ziyan turned back to look to her right and behind her, realizing that the wide Official Road and Hengfeng County Town were no longer in sight.
The path ahead gradually transformed into a winding, rugged narrow hill road, ascending higher and higher.
After walking along the winding mountain road for some time, the scenery changed completely. The chaotic variety of shrubs on both sides began to thin out, replaced by numerous tall, sturdy Pine Trees that towered across the mountains, some of which appeared ancient and varied in shape.
These tall Pine Trees shot up towards the sky like sharp swords, seemingly determined to pierce through the clouds.
The two had been walking for nearly three hours when Gu Yuxuan noticed that Ziyan looked tired and called out to her, "How about we take a break here?"
"Alright!" Ziyan replied as she quickly found a relatively clean rock and sat down.
A gust of wind blew by, and Ziyan felt her body gradually dampening with sweat.
Fortunately, it was only early spring, and the sun wasn't too harsh. With so many green trees towering in the mountain forest, this season was perfect for hiking and enjoying nature.
There were countless waterfalls and clear springs of varying sizes in the mountains, and with a considerate and handsome young man by her side, it truly was enviable.
During this time, Ziyan found that the image of her boyfriend, Ji Shaochen, was becoming increasingly distant and blurred in her mind.
Thinking back to that world, she recalled the days spent together with Ji Shaochen in the orphanage—innocent days where they supported each other. Whenever someone bullied Ziyan, Ji Shaochen would always protect her fiercely.
Until she was taken out of the orphanage by her adoptive father and they parted ways for several years. She often dreamed of him countless times, but some fates seemed destined to be—Ji Shaochen could only be a familiar passerby in her life.
When Ziyan was influenced by her adoptive father to enroll in police academy and on the first day at school encountered that familiar face from childhood in the cafeteria, despite the years that had passed, his well-remembered features had not changed at all. They recognized each other almost simultaneously.
Ji Shaochen was two years ahead of her, and from then on, these two lonely young people began to frequently accompany each other through every corner of campus. Their innocent hearts naturally developed a chemistry—falling in love.
Lovers are certainly sweet, but Ziyan never dreamed that the person she believed she would spend her life with was merely a pawn cultivated and developed by the Drug Lord and Red Sister.
"What are you thinking about?"
Ziyan was jolted out of her memories and looked up to see Gu Yuxuan handing her an opened bamboo water bottle.
Taking the bottle, she indulged in a large gulp. The cool and sweet Mountain Spring Water instantly refreshed Ziyan's tense mind.
After organizing her thoughts, Ziyan flashed a bright and confident smile at Gu Yuxuan and said, "Thank you."
She secretly vowed: Since there is a cycle of life, she would never let anyone bully or mistreat her again in this lifetime.
Seeing Ziyan's gradually relaxed expression, Gu Yuxuan, who was accompanying her, also revealed a rare, natural smile that held no ulterior motives as he looked back at Ziyan.
How wicked! This smile nearly captivated Ziyan.
"Is it beautiful?" Gu Yuxuan seemed to have returned to the first time they met, wanting to tease the cute girl in front of him.
"Yes, very—" Turning to look at Gu Yuxuan's fox-like Monster smile that had returned, Ziyan coughed for a while before pointing at him and saying, "Damn Monster."
The 'Monster' squatting in front of her burst into hearty laughter! His cheerful laughter echoed around them.
