The scene shifted again, and the boy had grown to bear the appearance of Gu Chao, still in bright clothes and riding a fine horse, only his once childish features had matured.
He looked at Su Jinyi with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
"Why have you skipped morning practice again? Your cultivation and techniques are already falling behind your peers. If this continues, you..."
"Enough already, you nag more than my own mother!" Su Jinyi cut him off impatiently.
She lifted her face, staring at him with eyes like a deer's, smiling coquettishly. "Even if I become useless in the future, I still have you, don't I? You are the family head now."
Gu Chao immediately surrendered, dismounting from his horse, "Without me, what will you do?"
Su Jinyi feigned anger, "Are you thinking of leaving me?"
"I wouldn't dare."
