Why marry someone when you are reborn?

With classmates studying and researching together, Xu Yun felt that he had a better understanding of what he had learned.

She suddenly understood why they had to go to large academies to study after enlightenment.

Even large families would have clan schools to gather all the children in the clan together, and even legitimate children would study there.

It's not that there are more books there, but that there are more people.

More people means different opinions.

One person's opinion is ultimately too one-sided.

Of course, Zhao Mu and Zeng Wuji didn’t have so many feelings. They were not like Xu Yun, who just studied at home.

But every time they commented on each other's articles and watched Xu Yun take out the thick stack of papers, neither of them could remain calm.

Even if I have experienced it many times, I can't get used to it.

Zeng Wuji looked at Xu Yun's face suspiciously: "Do you not need to sleep every day? But you don't have dark circles under your eyes. Are you the legendary person who doesn't need to sleep?"

Zhao Mu also showed a look of realization.

Xu Yun laughed dryly: "How is that possible? I just slept less."

In fact, it's not that she sleeps less. She's still growing and feels very sleepy every night. She just has more time than others.

She also slept in the library at night. Two hours passed outside, but she actually slept for four hours! Then she could study for another two hours! Converted to four hours in the library! And she didn't even need to light the oil lamp!

The library is always brightly lit!

If she hadn't inquired many times and confirmed that she couldn't bring anyone else into the library, she would have wanted to rent it! That way, she could sleep on the golden cake!

After all, time is money!

If this house could be rented out, she would be able to walk all over the scholars!

But now, Xu Yun is also very satisfied. Not only does he have more time, but he also saves money on lamp oil!

Zhao Mu gently warned: "Don't stay up too late, it will damage your health. Then the gain will outweigh the loss."

Zeng Wuji also nodded, but he was more curious: "Aren't you sleepy at night?"

Xu Yun immediately said, "I'm sleepy! How can I not be sleepy?"

"Then how do you stay focused?" Zeng Wuji asked. He really wanted to learn - seeing Xu Yun working so hard, he felt ashamed!

Xu Yun remained calm: "You can try sour plums. If sour plums don't work, try drinking some strong tea. Make the tea stronger. If that doesn't work, try stuffing two dried cockles in your shoes. You can also tie your hair to the beams of the house. If you fall asleep, your hair will be pulled and you will wake up immediately."

After these words were spoken, Zhao Mu and Zeng Wuji both widened their eyes.

Zeng Wuji, in particular, cupped his hands repeatedly and murmured in shock, "Too cruel. Too cruel."

If he had this ruthlessness, he would have learned it long ago! He wouldn't have to cram at the last minute!

At this moment, Zeng Wuji was convinced that there are indeed differences between people.

Zhao Mu nodded slightly: "I'll try it when I get back."

The result of the test was that Zhao Mu and Zeng Wuji came back three days later, both of them looked haggard, with dark circles under their eyes, which made Xu Yun feel very uncomfortable.

In a blink of an eye, it was the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Every family is preparing for the New Year.

Xu Yun's family was no exception. Xu Yun temporarily put down his books and helped prepare things for the New Year.

When Gao Yu arrived, Xu Yun was rolling up his sleeves and wringing out the washed sheets with Hong Yu, preparing to hang them up.

Because Chen Ku was sweeping snow outside, the door was not closed.

Gao Yu walked in with her maid and saw Xu Yun smiling and talking to Hong Yu while working.

She didn't say anything, but the maid called out, "Miss Xu."

Xu Yun turned around and saw Gao Yu.

Gao Yu has lost a lot of weight since we last saw her. She is now wearing a rabbit fur cloak and a fox fur scarf. The fluffy and soft fur makes her face look even thinner and smaller.

When Xu Yun saw Gao Yu, he felt a little numb in his heart - he always felt that Gao Yu was here to settle the score!

She smiled at Gao Yu and said, "Wait for me a moment. I'll finish this work, and then we'll go to the study and talk."

Gao Yu didn't say anything.

Xu Yun took it as her consent. But he didn't dare to leave this big Buddha hanging, so he quickly wrung out the sheets with Hongyu, asked Hongyu to hang them, and then he dried his hands and led Gao Yu to his study.

"Are you okay?" Seeing Gao Yu remained silent, Xu Yun muttered to himself for a while before speaking first. Otherwise, why would he remain silent like this?

Gao Yu spoke up this time: "Why don't you come to see me?"

That deep sorrow completely confused Xu Yun: "Should I... go see you?"

Gao Yu's resentment became even stronger. She looked at Xu Yun and suddenly said, "You are right. I shouldn't bother Luo Zhan. Don't worry, I won't bother him anymore in the future."

Xu Yun was confused: ??? No, what did I say? What does this have to do with Luo Zhan?

Gao Yu whispered, "Don't you even ask me why I've been sick for so long?"

Xu Yun had no choice but to ask her: "Why have you been sick for so long?"

Gao Yu said: "I remember everything. I remember everything that happened before Luo Zhan saved me."

At this moment, Xu Yun's hair stood on end - Gao Yu, who didn't remember all this, was already crazy enough, would Gao Yu who remembered all this really be fine?

She couldn't speak clearly: "What do you remember?"

Gao Yu said softly, "I remember what those beasts did to me after my mother died."

Xu Yun was really panicked this time. She looked at Gao Yu and suddenly wanted to apologize: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault—"

Gao Yu interrupted Xu Yun: "I forgot all this before. Everyone said that Luo Zhan saved me in time. I always felt that Luo Zhan could protect me. I felt at ease around him. But this time, I don't know why, I remembered it all. In fact, Luo Zhan did save me, but... he just kept me alive."

"I tried to commit suicide once afterwards. But it didn't work. After that, I forgot about it."

"Xu Yun, why did you put a stone in my hand that day?"

Gao Yu looked at Xu Yun and said in a very soft voice: "For a moment, I felt that you and I had experienced the same thing. But you are braver than me."

Xu Yun remained silent, and finally she smiled: "Everyone has encountered difficulties. I was hunted a few months ago. I gave you the stone because I also used the stone to protect myself at that time."

Not sure if Gao Yuxin believed it or not, she curled her lips and said, "Really? But I really like that stone."

She lifted her cloak to reveal the pendant hanging on her waist: "Look, I polished it and hung it on my body."

Xu Yun looked at the stone which still looked stupid and worthless and fell into complete silence: It shouldn't be that serious?

Gao Yu said: "Ah Yun, I don't want Luo Zhan anymore. From now on, I just want to be with you."
