Rebirth Strategy: Please let me go

The weather was extremely cold, so Gu Qingchen waited for another two hours. Seeing that it was getting late, she stopped waiting and ordered the coachman to drive back home.

The two little guards who were ordered by Gu Yao to follow them had already lost their patience in the cold and hid in the teahouse. One of them didn't pay attention and they were looking at the place. There was no trace of the carriage anywhere. The two of them exchanged glances and hurriedly I took the weapon and followed the trail to find it.

I don't know when the sky turned gloomy again, and the snowflakes were falling like a goddess scattering flowers. Gu Qingchen got off the carriage, entered the back door and walked to the yard. When he turned a corridor, he suddenly stopped and looked at the person coming.

An Jinshu was standing not far away, waiting quietly. Her eyebrows were smooth, the same as usual but different.

Gu Qingchen pulled his cloak unnaturally to block the injured arm, and then walked forward as if nothing had happened.

"Why is sister here?"

As he approached, Gu Qingchen took the lead and spoke. This was the back door. It was in a remote location. Even the servants in the mansion rarely came here, let alone the charming An Jinshu.

"I'm waiting for my brother." An Jinshu's tone was very calm, but he didn't feel angry at discovering the other party's secret on the street.

But Gu Qingchen's sharp eyes noticed that the other party's eyes were red and she had obviously shed tears: "Sister, have you cried?"

There was a panic in his tone that he himself was not aware of, but it was so subtle that neither he nor the listener noticed it.

An Jinshu didn't answer, just handed over the thing in his hand: "This is a new dress that was cut a while ago. The steward brought it to me today to say that my brother is not in the courtyard and asked me to hand it over. I have waited for a long time and finally lived up to my expectations. Brother, please Put your clothes away and go back to rest early."

After saying that, she moved forward and put the clothes in Gu Qingchen's hands. Her eyebrows were lowered, and from Gu Qingchen's angle, all he could see was her white side face and tightly pursed lips.

That is the outline that only appears when a person restrains his emotions. Gu Qingchen's eyes flashed as she looked at the clothes in her hands. She seemed sad.

An Jinshu did not delay him, and left after giving him the clothes. As she said, she was only waiting in the backyard to deliver the clothes. She didn't say or ask anything else.

After carrying the clothes back to the yard, Gu Qingchen called the gatekeeper to ask about the situation.

The boy guarding the gate reported everything that happened. After hearing this, Gu Qingchen raised her hand and let him go.

Gu Qingchen rubbed his eyebrows with a headache. He had no intention of hiding his departure from the mansion. He asked his servants to hide it because it was too troublesome to explain. It was good that An Jinshu couldn't find out, but it didn't matter if he found out. The worst was The result is nothing more than exposing the other party's true nature and giving him a whip.

But the other party found out this time but ignored him and never criticized him.

Yesterday in Ruyi Courtyard, he clearly agreed to go out with her to eat pear cakes with her today. If it hadn't been for last night...

Looking at the neatly arranged new clothes on the table, he recalled the tone and expression of the other party in the backyard just now. He thought that he was wrong this time. Her seemingly calm treatment was not an accusation.

She was silently blaming him.

He had always been deliberately on guard against her. Because of the dream, he never had any true feelings for her, but she did not beat him as badly as in the dream. Instead, she took great care of him, taking care of him in every detail.

There was nothing wrong with what she said last night. Although they were siblings, he and An Jinran were different. An Jinran was her biological brother and they had not seen each other for more than ten years. It was reasonable to get closer.

But as for him, the adoptive brother she picked up halfway, the two of her were too close, but it was not normal.

What's more, it's not exactly what he wants if the other person stays away from him, he should be happy.

The wind and snow got heavy again in the evening, and Mrs. An wouldn't let her children and grandchildren go there, but An Jinshu ran there early and wanted to have dinner with her no matter what.

But she never expected that Gu Qingchen would also come and want to stay for dinner like her.

During the meal, An Jinshu found that the other party's left hand had never been raised. She was a little surprised but did not ask.

An Jinshu asked intentionally when having tea after the meal, and Gu Qingchen told him that he accidentally slipped on the steps and fell his arm in the morning, and said nothing more.

As soon as Mrs. An heard that he had fallen, she immediately called the doctor. Gu Qingchen reassured her that she had already seen the doctor, so she brought him out of the house today.

An Jinshu heard that he was deliberately explaining to her, but so what?

Is there any truth in his words?

My arm was broken. I asked a doctor outside to treat me because I was afraid that the people inside the house would be worried. I had no choice but to leave the house. I delayed returning home for so long because it was difficult to treat a broken arm. There is no half-truth here.

Since Gu Qingchen's return was confirmed today, An Jinshu can no longer treat him the same as before.

In the past, she had regarded him as a poor man who had no father or mother and was living under the shelter of others. She would always take his words seriously, and she would even give him her private seal in order to gain his trust and closeness.

Now that the other party is playing tricks on her, why should she treat him sincerely? Since everyone is pretending, then she should keep pretending to the end. If she can get the results she wants by pretending, she will be happy to see it happen.

When An Jinshu left Ruyiyuan, he did not stick to Gu Qingchen as usual. Instead, he moved his little feet very fast, deliberately avoiding walking with him.

Gu Qingchen wasn't happy to get along with her anyway, and she didn't want to see him today. It was best for everyone to go their separate ways.

Who would have thought that when she deliberately avoided today, the other party caught up with her and stopped her.

"Sister, are you avoiding me?" Gu Qingchen looked at her with his beautiful peach blossom eyes.

An Jinshu rolled his eyes in his heart without shaking his head: "It's just that it's too cold, so I just want to go back and rest early."

Gu Qingchen had no doubts. He took out a hosta from his arms and said with a rare shy look on his face: "I don't have much money now, and I can't afford anything too expensive. Sister, please don't dislike it."

An Jinshu didn't stretch out his hand, but looked coldly at the osmanthus hairpin with a cold white light, and after a long while he said, "I don't understand what I mean."

"It's my fault that I missed my appointment today."

An Jinshu really wanted to laugh. He knew that he would miss the date today but he didn't even want to say sorry. He just wanted to get her forgiveness with a broken hairpin. Gu Qingchen, Gu Qingchen, you will always be so strong-willed and proud. And noble.

But even if the other party uses a broken hairpin to fool her, what can she do? If she doesn't want to accept it, she has to accept it, right? After all, she has to be his good sister forever.

Thinking of this, An Jinshu raised the corners of her lips and smiled, taking the hairpin from Gu Qingchen's hand with a smile that was not as deep as her eyes.

"What did Adi say? How could I get angry with Adi because Adi broke the appointment? What I'm angry about is that Adi didn't say anything even though he was obviously injured. He would rather carry it by himself when he needed help the most. I'm here I blame myself, I blame myself for not caring enough about Adi and not being good enough."

An Jinshu had also said this to him when she had given him a private seal, but not long after, the feelings in the two words were completely different, and they were never the same again.

Maybe the sky was too dark, maybe the wind was too strong and the eyes were blurred, but Gu Qingchen didn't hear anything wrong from these words.

He secretly thought that it was a good thing that the other party didn't dislike the hosta and accepted his apology. Otherwise, he really didn't know how to get the other party's understanding and wanted to buy an expensive one to make up for it in the future when he had money.

"It's freezing cold. Brother, it's better to go back early. The road is slippery, so pay more attention to your steps."

This was the first time that Gu Qingchen heard such a straightforward statement from a girl.

He lost consciousness for a moment, and then realized that An Jinshu was inconvenient to go with him.

He never belittles himself or thinks that the other person is unwilling to be with him because he is angry. He just assumes that the other person has something to do, so he holds his fists in a salute and walks away without thinking too much.

Seeing Gu Qingchen's leaving figure disappearing into the darkness, An Jinshu put the jade hairpin into his sleeve, and walked toward the yard in the moonlight with a serious face.

She walked slowly along the road that Gu Qingchen had walked just now, her footsteps no longer hurried at the beginning. When she gradually disappeared into the darkness, a person walked out of the rockery.

Surprisingly, it was Gu Qingchen who had left long ago. He looked towards the end of the road. It was clear that there was nothing there, but his eyes were dark and terrifying.
