Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

Cheng Wan and Gu Yan sat side by side near the tree where Cheng Wan had leaned against before.

The others were very tactful and left space for the two to whisper, and no one came over.

In the light from the fire in the distance, Gu Yan looked at Cheng Wan inch by inch, his eyes becoming redder and redder.

Cheng Wan tilted her head slightly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Why are you crying just by looking at me?"

"Ah Wan, have you been hurt a lot during this period? Have you suffered a lot? Why have you lost so much weight?"

When Gu Yan hugged Cheng Wan just now, he found that Cheng Wan had lost weight, but now he felt that Cheng Wan was more than just thinner.

Cheng Wan curled his lips and smiled, his smile was free and easy: "Yes, I was injured a lot, but the people who hurt me are all dead."

Gu Yan looked at Cheng Wan's bright and beautiful smile, and his heart seemed to be stabbed by a knife.

"Oh, it's okay, I'm alive and well, right?

By the way, I was promoted and am now an eighth-rank governor, directly under the Rui Wang Mansion."

Gu Yan's lips curled up, and a tear silently slid down: "Awan is more powerful than I thought."

Cheng Wan stared at the tears on Gu Yan's right cheek, feeling a little bitter in her heart: "You've lost weight, and..."

Cheng Wan looked at Gu Yan in confusion as he suddenly turned his head, leaving her with a left profile.

Gu Yan felt Cheng Wan's gaze on the left side of his face, his body stiffened, and he felt annoyed.

He actually forgot the scar on his right cheek.

"what happened to you?"

Gu Yan lowered his head uncomfortably: "Nothing."

Cheng Wan was angry and amused when she saw Gu Yan like this: "You were not like this just now."

Gu Yan pursed his lips. His mind was filled with the girl in front of him and he couldn't think of anything else.

"Don't you want to continue taking a good look at me?"

"think."

"Then why are you looking down and not looking at me?"

"I, I'm disfigured, and I'm afraid you'll dislike me..."

Gu Yan lowered his head, his voice was very low and soft, but his eyes, which Cheng Wan could not see, were filled with dark colors.

"I don't dislike you."

Cheng Wan knew that this man was really afraid that she would dislike him, but he was definitely not as pitiful as he appeared.

Cheng Wan is willing to give this person the affirmation and sense of security he needs.

"Really? But you seemed to like my face before?"

“Who doesn’t like a good-looking face?”

Gu Yan's hands slowly clenched, his eyes dark.

"But even if you're not pretty, I still like you."

Gu Yan's clenched fists loosened unconsciously, and the dark color in his eyes gradually disappeared.

"Let me take a good look at you. I miss you so much."

Gu Yan's eyelashes trembled slightly. He raised his head and mustered up the courage to expose his entire face to Cheng Wan's sight again.

Cheng Wan's gaze fell on the scar on Gu Yan's right cheek.

The scar runs from the temple to the center of the face. Just looking at the scar, it does look quite hideous and scary.

Gu Yan pursed his lips tightly, feeling that the scar on his face seemed to be a hundred times more painful than when he was first injured.

"Isn't it ugly?"

"Does it hurt?"

They both spoke at the same time, asking different questions.

"Not ugly."

"It doesn't hurt."

The two looked at each other and curled their lips at the same time.

Shao Qing, who was secretly paying attention to what was happening here, couldn't help but hug his arms tightly, grinning and shaking his body.

The sweetness is excessive.

"Shao Qing said you met my eldest brother two days ago?"

"Yeah." Gu Yan secretly hooked Cheng Wan's little finger, feeling indescribably satisfied. "My elder brother and I met after we broke through Hechang Pass. My elder brother is now a centurion and is very favored by the higher-ups."

Upon learning that Cheng Daping was safe, Cheng Wan was overjoyed and immediately held Gu Yan's hand, and asked excitedly: "Where is my elder brother now? Is he still in Hechang Pass? Can I see him this time?"

"After Hechang Pass was breached, the two armies that had originally joined together separated. The Black Armor Army that my eldest brother was in headed southeast that day."

Cheng Wan lowered her eyelashes in disappointment: "It was almost there. If only I could be faster."

Gu Yan stroked Cheng Wan's hand and said in a low voice: "Ah Wan, it's amazing that you can get here safely, and knowing that big brother is safe is the best news."

"You're right." Cheng Wan suppressed the disappointment in his heart and smiled at Gu Yan.

Gu Yan knew that Cheng Wan was feeling disappointed, but he was really powerless to do anything about it.

Just like himself, he could only wait until the situation was temporarily settled before being allowed to pick up Cheng Wan.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky and the earth falls into silence.

Today, Cheng Wan learned that Cheng Daping was safe and met Gu Yan again. He felt a long-lost peace and relaxation in his heart, so he fell asleep as soon as he lay down.

Outside Cheng Wan's tent, Gu Yan sat on the ground, guarding the tent where Cheng Wan was sleeping with concentration and obsession, and was reluctant to sleep at all.

"Master, you just came down from the battlefield and traveled a long way. Now that Master Cheng is here, you should get some sleep. You still have to travel tomorrow."

Shao Qing walked very lightly to Gu Yan, sat down beside him, and advised Gu Yan in a low voice.

Gu Yan shook his head and raised his eyebrows in a very good mood: "Shaoqing, Master Cheng said today that even though I am not good-looking, she still likes me. She also said that she missed me a lot."

Shao Qing felt a lump in his throat.

He still remembers clearly how vicious and bloodthirsty this handsome young man was on the day his face was scratched.

He also remembered how the man in front of him collapsed and despaired when he learned that his face would be scarred.

"Master, I told you that Master Cheng would definitely not mind the scar on your face. See, I was right, wasn't I?"

Gu Yan laughed happily, his voice soft, "My Ah Wan is so good, not only do I like her, many people like her, they want to snatch Ah Wan from me, Shao Qing, what do you think I should do?"

Shao Qing's hair stood on end and a layer of cold sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead.

"Master, even if someone likes Master Cheng, Master Cheng doesn't like them. Master Cheng only likes you!"

"Ah Wan only likes me." Gu Yan nodded his chin proudly: "But, I really don't like anyone snatching Ah Wan from me..."

Gu Yan didn't know what he was thinking of. His eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze was sinister and cold.

Shao Qing rubbed his forehead with a headache, and he knew that the leader's business today was not over yet.

His young master is usually quite normal and emotionally stable, but when it comes to Lord Cheng's affairs, he becomes a completely different person, and it seems like he can commit murder in secret at any time.

Shao Qing tugged at Gu Yan's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Master, Master Cheng is a very upright person. If you do something you shouldn't do, Master Cheng will definitely hate you!"

Gu Yan tilted his head, as if he couldn't understand: "Ah Wan hates me because of others?"

Shaoqing: "..."

It's a sin. He shouldn't have come here and said anything more.

In the tent, Cheng Wan opened his eyes and sighed helplessly.

Cheng Wan sat up, opened the tent, and hooked his finger at Gu Yan.
