Wei Rou's original intention was to let Gu Xi go to Jiangyue Tower to support her, but she didn't expect that the prefect was actually an acquaintance, so it was inconvenient for Gu Xi to come forward.

As soon as she got up the next day, someone came outside.

Said that the prefect invited her to attend a banquet at the mansion tonight, and he took care of them.

It was inconvenient for Wei Rou to refuse, so she nodded in agreement.

Her body has almost recovered, and she has no problem traveling.

When Ling Yun came to report, he also brought other news, saying that Miss Lingyue was thrown out of the city in the middle of the night, and she was stopped when she tried to enter the city gate.

Wei Rou's face remained unchanged, and she didn't take her seriously.

"Are you going with me tonight?"

She walked up to Gu Xi and straightened his collar.

Gu Xi looked down at her, put his arms around her waist, and nodded slightly.

"I don't worry about you going to the banquet alone."

Wei Rou curved her lips and smiled.

"The prefect's mansion is not a dragon's pond or a tiger's lair. Uncle He treats me very well and won't hurt me. You don't have to worry so much."

Gu Xi remained silent.

Wei Rou knew what he was thinking and smiled even more happily.

"I haven't been to Hetang Academy in the past few days, so I don't know if Luo Yan has devoted himself to studying?".

Gu Xi spent half a day in the past two days to go to the academy for training, so he agreed.

"Several deans praised him for his intelligence, but his foundation is weak, and it will take some time to catch up. But diligence can make up for it. He works harder than other students. Given time, he will surely achieve great success."

Wei Rou couldn't help raising her eyebrows upon hearing this.

"It's the first time I've heard you boast so much."

The corners of Gu Xi's lips twitched slightly.

"This is the original words of the dean, not what I said."

Wei Rou: ...

She tilted her head, "Then how do you evaluate him?"

Gu Xi said unhurriedly: "It's a material that can be made."

"Gone?"

Seeing Wei Rou's expectant gaze, Gu Xi squeezed out a few more words: "It still needs to be tempered."

Wei Rou buried her face in his chest and laughed softly.

"Will you die if you say a few more words? You really cherish words like gold."

But Wei Rou also knew that these words were Gu Xi's highest evaluation of Luo Yan.

He never likes to praise others, Wei Rou has never heard him praise anyone, well, except her.

"I thought he was alone, we might as well send him to school, and wait for him to learn something before coming to work under your command."

"It's all up to you."

The last time I met Lingyue when I went out, this time there was no unsightly appearance that disturbed my interest.

Wei Rou took Gu Xi to go boating.

Jiangnan water town is well-deserved of its reputation.

The two leaned on the boat, watching the scenery on both sides of the river, feeling at ease.

Wei Rou leisurely drank tea.

"How about living in seclusion in the south of the Yangtze River when the world is stable in the future?"

Gu Xi hummed: "Do you like this place?"

"I like it. It's quiet here, without so many disturbances."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was commotion on the bridge not far away.

A group of people wrestled together, and one of them was lifted by limbs and thrown into the creek.

"Bang".

The boat that Wei Rou was in was about to pass through the bridge hole, and the person fell on the boat, causing the whole boat to shake.

Gu Xi hugged Wei Rou and looked at the man coldly.

Wu Jiang and Ling Yun looked at each other, strode forward and dragged him up.

When Wei Rou saw the man clearly, her face changed abruptly.

"Luo Yan!"

Luo Yan was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. When he heard Wei Rou's voice, he suddenly raised his head, and tears flowed out unconsciously.

Wei Rou stepped forward quickly.

"What the hell is going on here! Aren't you supposed to be in the academy? Why are you here? What's the matter with the wound on your face?"
