"Don't worry. Everything will be fine. There are so many of us here." Chu Xinlan comforted while Gu Ruochu nodded. She had to think of a way to contact Jin Ye.
Xu Yichen suddenly looked at the time and urged, "It's about time. Ruochu, you should go back."
"All right. I'll be leaving."
Xu Yichen's throat seemed to choke as he looked at her quietly. He then smiled calmly. "Go ahead."
Gu Ruochu grabbed her bag and turned to leave. As he watched her walk away, a deep look flashed across Xu Yichen's calm eyes.
From now on, she was someone else's girl.
Bai Qi was happy.
Ruochu was happy.
He watched her as she finally disappeared from his sight.
"I say, why are you acting so strange today?" Rong Xiao approached Xu Yichen suspiciously, but he managed to dodge him in time and turned around to leave.
"It's so strange." Rong Xiao was completely confused. Chu Xinlan shook her head calmly and took a sip from her teacup.
Gu Ruochu drove back to the Huo family home.
When she got out of the car, Huo Nanchen's furry Golden Retriever wagged its tail and ambled towards her. It twirled around her leg and gently tugged at her trouser as if it wanted to take her to the garden.
"What's that?"
The dog tugged at her with all its might and even used its long nose to prod her leg. It whined anxiously.
In the twilight, the garden was very beautiful. The lights in the entire villa shone brightly, giving the garden a serene backdrop. Gu Ruochu had a strange feeling. She lifted her head and saw a swing in the middle of the garden.
The ivory-colored roses and violets formed a broad, three-dimensional background. The swing built below was gracefully suspended in mid-air.
Under the fading light of the setting sun, the swing was covered with a faint layer of gold. It was stunningly beautiful.
Gu Ruochu slowly walked towards the swing. She could feel the softest part of her heart stirring. She could not describe her fondness for it.
It was so beautiful. It was as if it had appeared countless times in her dreams.
Gu Ruochu's dreams had come to her more frequently. They were just like the scene before her. In her last dream, there had been large patches of blooming flowers.
When Huo Nanchen arrived, Gu Ruochu was sitting on the swing, rippling in the breeze.
Little flower petals floated in the air under the gentle breeze. They rose and fell with a fragrant scent. As Gu Ruochu floated in the air, she wafted them towards her, giving her an indescribable sense of beauty.
In that instant, it was like a dream.
"Do you like it?"
Gu Ruochu raised her head and saw Huo Nanchen walking towards her. Her eyes almost turned into crescent moons as she smiled happily.
She did not know what kind of feeling she gave Huo Nanchen, but every time she saw him, her pulse raced.
"Why did you think of putting a swing here?"
"I did it for you. I thought you'd like it." He slowly approached and sat on the swing. Gu Ruochu paused, his deep and mellow voice sounded magical.
The air was filled with a majestic fragrance.
Many thoughts ran through her mind. Huo Nanchen belonged to a different class than the original Gu Ruochu. Fortunately, the fish had fallen in love with the sea bird.
The heavens had allowed her to come to his side and fall in love with him.
In her previous life, she would never have dared to dream of having such a person by her side.
Suddenly, Gu Ruochu felt her head ache.
Blurry images of the garden flashed through her mind. The swing, the boy, the garden... They flashed past quickly, becoming clearer and clearer.
The outline of the boy in the image became clear. Gu Ruochu could almost see his face.
