During this half month, the relationship between the two seemed to have changed and they became closer.

Gu Jue was no longer invisible all day long. Most of the time, Gu Jue was not far from Shen Zhuo. Occasionally, the two would chat or exchange different insights from the book.

Sometimes Shen Zhuo would even share something interesting with Gu Jue. However, without exception, Shen Zhuo would actively avoid seeing Gu Jue.

The two of them spent half a month like this.

Finally, the agreed day arrived again.

At that time, the two were sitting in the yard drinking tea.

Suddenly, the quiet and leisurely atmosphere was broken.

"Today is the agreed date, and I should go home." After thinking about it, Shen Zhuo decided to thank Gu Jue. After all, he was living very comfortably here.

"To be exact, I have lived here for more than half a month. Although you kidnapped me at the beginning, I still want to thank you for taking care of me during this period. I have troubled you for a long time. I will go back home today. I want to say thank you to you."

Shen Zhuo couldn't see, so naturally he didn't notice the sudden ugly expression on the face of the person drinking tea opposite him.

Gu Jue gently put the broken teacup in his hand back on the table, not caring about the cuts on his hand.

Seeing the blood and tea mixed together on his hands, Gu Jue's eyes darkened greatly, as if filled with anger, but the words he spoke were very gentle.

"Wouldn't it be nice to stay a little longer?"

Shen Zhuo shook his head. Maybe it was because they had been together for a long time, so the distance between them was gone, but he was still as gentle as ever.

"You can't live here any longer. You've been here for a long time. It's not good for you to stay any longer."

"Besides, I have to go home. If I don't go home soon, my father and mother will worry." Shen Zhuo rarely made a joke.

Gu Jue, however, was not very accepting and suppressed his emotions, "I don't mind, I can handle your family and won't make them worry."

Shen Zhuo was stunned for a moment, but still refused.

"I still want to go home."

Looking at the person who insisted on leaving, Gu Jue's face was extremely ugly, and the anger in his eyes almost turned into substance.

"Isn't it good to stay here? Didn't you say it's a good place?"

Hearing that Gu Jue didn't want to let him go, Shen Zhuo felt a little depressed, "This place is great, but it's not my home. I want to go back to my own home. And it's not good for me to stay here with you."

Still being rejected, Gu Jue's face gradually became cold and his eyes became dark. His eyes were filled with anger and a hint of indifference, and his aura became strange.

"This is your home too, you can do whatever you want. There's no need to go back."

"This is your home, not mine. I want to go home. We clearly agreed that you would let me go back immediately when the time comes." Shen Zhuo didn't know what was wrong with Gu Jue, why he suddenly broke the promise and refused to let him go.

Shen Zhuo also started to get a little angry. He didn't like people who broke contracts at will and didn't value their promises.

Gu Jue didn't look at Shen Zhuo this time, and said coldly: "From now on, this is your home, the palace, and you don't have to go back."

After saying that, he stood up and looked at Shen Zhuo, "Yingye, Yingyue, keep an eye on him. Don't leave here even a step."

Only Shadow Moon showed up, "Yes."

Shen Zhuo was extremely shocked when he heard Gu Jue's cold words. He quickly stood up and tried to catch up with the other person's footsteps.

"Sir, please stay." Yingyue stretched out her hand to stop Shen Zhuo. The master was in a bad mood, so it was better not to go.

When Shen Zhuo was stopped, he subconsciously wanted to take off the strap on his eyes and chase after him, but when his hand was on the strap, he paused and finally did not take it off.

Once you take this belt off, there is no going back.

For several days in a row, Shen Zhuo often asked the servants and Yingyue where Gu Jue was, but no one answered him. The situation became worse than when he first arrived.

He always wanted to wait until Gu Jue calmed down before having a good talk with her.

Although he couldn't see it that day, he could still feel Gu Jue's different aura at that time. He broke out in a cold sweat and got goose bumps for no apparent reason.

He attributed all this to the other party being too angry. Although he didn't quite understand why Gu Jue was angry. Wasn't it normal for him to want to go home? Why was she angry?

Although he didn't know why, Shen Zhuo didn't take off the tape or make a noise. Instead, he waited quietly for Gu Jue to calm down before talking about going home.

For some reason, he really didn't want things to get ugly between the two of them, and he was consciously trying to avoid the worst possible outcomes.

Maybe it was because of those books, or maybe it was because of the harassment during this period. No matter what, he didn't want to make things awkward or difficult to resolve.
