My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

After returning home, Chang An took a bath and drank the hangover soup prepared by Gu Li, and he was almost sober. So, Chang An picked up Gu Li again, sat on the bed, and started to be affectionate with him again.

"Oh!" Gu Li leaned in Chang An's arms and suddenly cried out.

"What's wrong?" Chang An asked while poking Gu Li's face with his finger.

"I forgot one thing!" Gu Li sat up from Chang An's arms, "I forgot to smell Chang Lang's scent when I came back just now."

"Then what?" Chang An was a little amused, but still asked again patiently.

"Then I wonder if Chang Lang has been having an affair with other ladies in Pingkangfang!" Gu Li sat on Chang An's lap and stared at him, "Bold Chang Lang! Tell the truth now!"

"Okay, okay, I admit it," Chang An stretched out his arms and hugged Gu Li, saying, "I'm not in love with any other woman at all. I just came here with an old acquaintance to drink with me. I promise that we're just drinking."

"Really?" Gu Li's face was full of disbelief.

"If Chang Lang cheats on you, Gu Niang, I will be struck by lightning and let God kill me, okay?" Chang An said sincerely.

"Well... well, I believe Chang Lang." Gu Li then returned to her beautiful smile, kissed Chang An on the mouth, and then said with some disgust: "Well... Chang Lang drank wine, and his whole mouth smells of wine. Gu Niang doesn't like it."

"Little devil!" Chang An leaned forward and touched Gu Li's nose with his nose tip, "Do you dislike Chang Lang?"

"Not at all..."

After some fun, when Chang'an's hair was dry, the two blew out the candles and lay down on the bed to sleep.

The next day, Chang An still had to go back to the Imperial College to attend school, so the two got up early as usual. After watching Chang An leave in a carriage, Gu Li returned to the house and went to the desk to continue reading the novel Chang An wrote for her. Previously, she was only busy reading poetry collections, and only these two days did she remember that she had not finished reading the previous book "Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day".

After watching for a while, Zhen'er came in with medicine. Gu Li drank the medicine half-blowing and half-drinking, and asked Zhen'er to take the medicine bowl back to the kitchen and bring some sugar.

Zhen'er worked very efficiently, and brought the sugar over in less than half a cup of tea. But after she brought it over and put it down, someone knocked on the door.

"Come in." Gu Li put the bowl back on the tray and said.

Then, someone outside the door came in. It was a family servant. When he saw Gu Li, he bowed and said, "Sanniang, there is someone outside the door who wants to see you."

"Someone wants to see you?" Gu Li was a little confused, so he asked, "Who wants to see you?"

Whether it was Du, Cui, Zhang, Zhao, or Wang Wei and Gao Shi, they could come in directly without the need for the servants to notify them. And within her knowledge, Chang An only had these friends, so he was a little confused.

"To answer Sanniang's question, we only know that the person is a woman and she has a maid with her. She also said that she would only tell Sanniang who she is after meeting her." The servant replied.

"Okay, I understand. Bring the person in." Gu Li ordered.

"Yes, Sanniang." The servant responded and left.

Gu Li looked at the candy on the table and said to Zhen'er, "Take the candy and put it in the pavilion, and then go get some tea."

"Okay." Zhener picked up the candy that she had just put down and went outside.

Gu Li put the book back on the table, found a shawl in the closet and put it on, then went to the pavilion and sat down to wait for guests.

Soon, Zhen'er brought the tea over, and the servants also came in with the guests. Gu Li looked up and saw two women. The woman in front was elegant and beautiful, well dressed and very pretty. She was not one of her friends before, so she was a little confused as to why she came to see her.

Just as he was wondering, the woman came in, bowed to Gu Li, and greeted him, "My name is Su Meng, nice to meet Madam Gu."

"Hello, Madam Su." Gu Li also stood up, bowed to Su Meng, and then stretched out his hand to motion for her to sit down.

"I wonder if Madam Su is here to look for my Chang Lang or someone else?" Gu Li asked politely.

"I am not an ordinary An, and I am not looking for anyone else. I am just here to look for you, Madam Gu." Su Meng replied with a smile.

Gu Li was even more confused, so he asked, "I don't know Madam Su, why did Madam Su come to look for me?"

"I don't know Madam Gu either. I came to look for you because of Madam Gu's husband?" Su Meng said.

"Chang Lang?" Gu Li felt something was wrong and asked again.

"Yes, the reason I came here is also for him." Su Meng said, "To be honest with you, Madam Gu, I am actually just a singer in Pingkangfang. What I want to talk about today is about you and Chang'an."

Gu Li was shocked—the singer from Pingkangfang!

"I met Chang'an in Pingkangfang. His talent is the best among all the men I have ever met." Su Meng said, "And because my music always matches his poems, we became friends."

"What does Madam Su want to say?" Gu Li's face was full of vigilance at this time.

"Chang'an should have told you that he drank with me last night, right?" Su Meng said with a smile, looking at Gu Li, who had a vigilant face.

"I also know that Chang An specially composed five poems to urge Madam Gu to get ready, and also developed this candy for you..."

"But that's not what I want to say. I want to say that I also like Chang An. But it's a pity that he only regards me as a friend..."

"That won't work!" Gu Li said directly without listening to Su Meng's next words.

Su Meng was stunned for a moment, and her smile disappeared. She asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"I don't agree with what's going on between you and Chang Lang," said Gu Li.

Su Meng was a man who could see people's hearts, and she quickly figured out what Gu Li meant by this sentence. She also knew why he looked at her warily as soon as she said that she was from Pingkangfang.

"Madam Gu has misunderstood. There is nothing wrong between me and Chang An. We are just friends." Su Meng smiled and said, "I am not here to compete with you for the position. I don't want to compete for it either."

Gu Li was stunned. Was he wrong?

"Yesterday he left me a message, which said: We are both people who have been cast away to the ends of the earth, so why should we have known each other before we met?"

"What he meant was that he and I were just friends and it was impossible for us to go any further."

Su Meng couldn't help but reveal some bitterness in her eyes as she spoke, but then she continued, "I came here for no other reason than to ask Madam Gu a few questions."

"What's the problem?" Gu Li asked.

"Regarding the issue between Madam Gu and Chang An, I wonder if Madam Gu is willing to answer my questions." Su Meng asked sincerely.

After Gu Li examined Su Meng for a while, he thought for a moment and then said, "Madam Su, please speak."

"Then I will start asking," Su Meng took a sip of tea and said, "Madam Gu, do you like Chang'an?"

Gu Li was stunned again, then he reacted and blushed and said, "Yeah."

"Then Madam Gu, would you like everything about Chang An?" Su Meng continued to ask, "His strengths, his hobbies, and even his shortcomings."

Gu Li frowned slightly after hearing this question, and after thinking for a while, he answered seriously: "No."

"Of course I like Chang Lang, but I won't blindly love everything about him. I can like his small shortcomings, but I won't like his big shortcomings."

"The biggest flaw is that Chang Lang likes to drink and have fun. Because he drinks, I am afraid that Chang Lang will get into trouble after drinking, which is very dangerous."

After Su Meng heard this, she immediately felt a little relieved for the lady in front of her, and then asked the next question: "So, Madam Gu, can you make Chang An happy?"

Gu Li blinked and replied, "I can. Even if I can't do it now, I will try my best."

Su Meng looked at Gu Li in front of her and suddenly smiled, making Gu Li a little nervous.

"Madam Gu, don't be nervous. I have finished asking my questions." Su Meng said with a smile, "It seems that Chang An married Madam Gu for a reason."

When Gu Li heard this, he suddenly felt embarrassed.

"I wonder where Madam Gu came from?"

"My father is a businessman and my family is in the jade business." Gu Li replied.

"Hmm..." Su Meng nodded thoughtfully, and then said, "I heard from Chang An last night that it has only been a month since Madam Gu and him got married, right?"

Gu Li nodded, and then Su Meng continued: "Maybe Madam Gu may not fully understand Chang An's affairs. I can tell you."

"What I don't know?" Gu Li immediately perked up. In the past, Chang An was the one who knew everything about her, and she also wanted to get to know her Chang Lang better.

"Madam Su is willing to tell me?"

"Madam Gu is Chang'an's favorite wife, and you are willing to treat him well. Why shouldn't I help you?" Su Meng said with a smile, "I just don't know if Madam Gu is willing to know."

"Of course I'm willing to do so." Gu Li said quickly.

"Then I will start talking," Su Meng took another sip of tea and said slowly, "First, Chang'an's birthday is January 11th of the first year in Chang'an; his favorite foods are fish and eggs, and he hates pasta like buns and fruits; his favorite colors are light red or scarlet, and he hates yellow the most; his favorite poem is "Climbing the Stork Tower" by Cui Hao; he likes to drink and watch dances and listen to music, and he likes to stand on high places and practice sword dancing after getting drunk; his favorite snack is..."

"Chang'an likes to scratch his head when he's nervous or embarrassed. He may not tell you when he's tired, he'll just be alone. If he says something like 'No way; how could it be', it means he's about to do something bad, so you have to be prepared..."

Gu Li just listened to Su Meng talking about Chang An's various hobbies and various details of Chang An's moods. Gu Li was surprised to find that he only knew a small part of it and knew basically nothing about the rest.

"Madam Su, you know so much..." Gu Li couldn't help but exclaimed, "There are so many things I don't know."

"Then Madam Gu knows now, doesn't she?" Su Meng said.

Gu Li nodded, and then a trace of doubt arose in his heart, and asked: "Madam Su, why are you willing to tell me this today?"

Su Meng smiled and said, "I've said it before, I also liked Chang An."

"I like him so much that sometimes I even dream of marrying him. I also imagined that one day I would be able to walk with him after redeeming myself..." Su Meng said, and the smile on her face became more sad. "But since yesterday, I realized that all this is really just a fantasy."

"To put it nicely, I'm a singer, but in fact, I'm also a prostitute..."

Gu Li was also feeling a little sad at this moment because of her. He wanted to comfort her but didn't know how to start.

"How can a red lip that has been tasted by thousands of people be worthy of him? Now that I think about it, it's really ridiculous." Su Meng said, sighed, and then looked at Gu Li, "And the things I told Madam Gu were not told to you in vain."

"What does Madam Su want?" Gu Li now knew Su Meng's intentions, so he asked.

"Madam Gu is the daughter of a businessman, so she should know what a deal is." Su Meng said, "I am making a deal with Madam Gu. I will tell you about Chang An, and you have to make sure he is happy."

"I want Chang'an to be happy, and I can give everything for this. Now Chang'an's happiness lies in you, Madam Gu, and I hope you can be his happiness."

"If one day I find out that you have done something to hurt Chang An, I will take him away, even if he still doesn't belong to me in the end. Do you understand?"

Seeing Su Meng's serious look, Gu Li also answered seriously: "I understand, I promise you."
