"..."
"You..." Gu Ruochu quickly got off his body. She stood up and immediately smoothed out her clothes.
"You..."
The bed was so big, how could she have ended up in Huo Nanchen's grasp?
"You didn't sleep well, so you rolled over to my side." Huo Nanchen lifted the blanket and got off the bed, his expression did not change. Gu Ruochu was skeptical.
"Oh."
She silently shifted her gaze as she watched his back.
Fortunately, Huo Nanchen was not as bad-tempered as he used to be. Otherwise, he might have broken her hand once she rolled over to his side of the bed.
She suddenly remembered the dream she had. The little girl's childish voice was still echoing in her mind, as well as the familiar garden...
She couldn't tell if this was a dream or if it was a memory that had happened before.
Gu Ruochu lay back on the bed in a daze for a while before she got up to freshen up.
When she had finished, Huo Nanchen had already gone to work. Gu Ruochu went down the stairs and ran into Nanny Zhang who rushed over the moment she saw her. She almost bumped into her in her haste. "Ah, the Young Madam is awake?"
"Nanny Zhang, what happened? Could it be that Zhou Yunxi and Gu Yanwei have gotten into a fight again?"
"That's not it." Nanny Zhang replied. "It's just that I didn't finish packing yesterday. This morning, Madam asked me to get someone to clean the guest room where the two were staying. I found a few things left in the room. I don't know if they are important."
"What things?"
Gu Ruochu followed Nanny Zhang upstairs.
"It's nothing much. It's just a jewelry box. I didn't dare to open it."
Gu Ruochu entered the room and saw a jewelry box placed in the corner. It looked a little old, but it was very clean.
"I'll get someone to bring this to Zhou Yunxi later."
Her mother would certainly cause trouble if she found out that the jewelry box was missing. She was not in the mood to fight with her mother and sister again.
Nanny Zhang nodded and left.
Gu Ruochu looked at the jewelry box in her hand and opened it casually. There was only a pure gold bracelet on it. Zhou Yunxi did not realize that the bracelet was missing. Otherwise, she would have already come back to the Huo residence asking for it.
She picked up the gold bracelet and looked at it. She noticed that the color of the gold was very good. There were some words engraved on it: "Life is as good as the first time we meet." Gu Ruochu looked at the words and sensed the sorrow of the person who had carved the words.
'Life is as good as the first time we meet...
'Ruochu? Gu Ruochu?'
She suddenly connected her own name. Could it be that her name came from these words? Gu Ruochu put the gold bracelet back into the jewelry box with a strange look in her eyes.
After some thought, she closed the jewelry box and put it back in its original position. Nanny Zhang called her from downstairs. "Young Madam, breakfast is ready."
Gu Ruochu went downstairs and saw Mrs. Huo sitting at the dining table. To her surprise, Gu Yanwei was also at the table. She smiled when she saw Gu Ruochu. "Good morning, Ruochu."
Gu Ruochu could not help but admire her sister's strong endurance. After what had happened last night, she was still able to act as if nothing had happened.
"Ruochu, come and have breakfast."
After the banquet, Mrs. Huo's attitude towards Gu Ruochu had improved significantly. Her normally stern face was now radiant with a smile.
"Thank you, mother."
Gu Ruochu sat elegantly at the dining table. She straightened her back and began to eat her breakfast.
