When Gu Jiao woke up, she found herself lying in a strange yet familiar room. It was strange because she was certain this wasn't her east room at home nor was it the small courtyard of the medical hall.

It was familiar because she seemed to have been here before.

"Awake?"

A nonchalant female voice came from the direction of the window.

Gu Jiao turned her head and saw Princess Xinyang, dressed in simple attire, sitting by the window, practicing calligraphy.

Gu Jiao remembered now.

This was Princess Xinyang's room.

So, she must be in the residence on Zhuque Street, right?

But why was she here? She had no recollection of how she got here.

After finishing a piece of calligraphy, Princess Xinyang put it aside with satisfaction and took another one to continue practicing, "Long Yi picked you up and insisted on putting you on my bed."

Her tone was full of plain disdain.

She used the term "picked up," which implied that Long Yi acted on his own without being instructed by Princess Xinyang.

Gu Jiao didn't bother asking how Long Yi found her. It would be pointless even if she asked. Instead, she said, "You could have ordered him not to put me here."

"Humph." Princess Xinyang coldly snorted, "I wish I could."

Gu Jiao lowered her head to look at her clothes. They had already been changed, but she didn't know whose clothes these were.

Princess Xinyang said lightly, "It’s Yu Jin's clothes. Did you think I would give you my own clothes to wear?"

Gu Jiao: How does she know what I'm thinking?

Princess Xinyang spoke again, "Are you a death warrior of the State of Yan?"

"Ah?" Gu Jiao was taken aback.

Princess Xinyang casually remarked, "Your body is covered in blood, yet not a single drop belongs to you. Don't tell me you took a bath with blood."

Gu Jiao curiously asked, "What does that have to do with me being a death warrior of the State of Yan?"

"It seems you really don't remember anything." Princess Xinyang finally glanced at Gu Jiao, but quickly looked away, "When you arrived, you looked exactly like a death warrior who had lost control. By the way, death warriors are only available in the State of Yan, and Long Yi is also from there."

Gu Jiao confidently replied, "I’m not a death warrior."

Princess Xinyang paused for a moment before nodding, "True, even death warriors don't have such intense killing aura as yours."

Gu Jiao: "..."

Could you at least give a warning before insulting someone?

Gu Jiao thought she was going to say, ‘True, you are the daughter of Marquis Ding'an Estate.’

Gu Jiao had no idea how long she had been unconscious, and she didn't know what time it was now. All she knew was that she was very hungry, and her stomach began to growl after a while.

Princess Xinyang finished writing the last character and put down the brush. Instead of looking at Gu Jiao, she glanced at the calligraphy she had just finished while saying, "Do you want to eat by yourself, or do you want to eat with me?"

Eat with her? Was she talking about dinner?

What time was it now? To think Princess Xinyang hadn't eaten dinner yet.

After some thought, Gu Jiao responded, "If it's not too much trouble, I'd like to eat by myself."

Princess Xinyang put away the calligraphy and left the room.

Before long, a young servant girl came in, carrying a tray with three dishes and a soup, along with a small plate of fruits. Though the number of dishes was not extensive, their presentation was quite exquisite and rich.

The servant girl placed the tray on the table and brought a small clean table, setting it on the bed where Gu Jiao was resting.

Gu Jiao was about to say she could do it by herself, but since the servant girl had gone to such lengths, she didn't want to disappoint her efforts.

"This servant will be waiting outside. If the young miss needs anything, just call for this servant." The servant girl said respectfully before leaving.

Gu Jiao was about to start her dinner when suddenly, Long Yi appeared in the room!

Gu Jiao's hand trembled, and the chopsticks she had just picked up fell down.

No way... Did he come to find her to break charcoal pencils again?

Anxiously, Gu Jiao stared at Long Yi for a while, but she didn't see him take out his charcoal pencils. She heaved a sigh of relief.

It seemed that wasn’t the case.

Then what was he here for?

Gu Jiao looked at Long Yi. He stood there with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on the food in front of Gu Jiao, appearing as though he was eagerly antic.i.p.ating something.

Gu Jiao's eyes flickered as she asked, "Do you want to eat as well?"

Long Yi didn't move.

Did she guess wrong? Gu Jiao thought again for a moment, "Are you reminding me to eat quickly?"

Long Yi's demeanor remained unchanged.

Wrong again.

Dragon Shadow Guards’ silence was quite frustrating; she had to guess everything.

Gu Jiao couldn't figure out what Long Yi wanted this time. After a while, she said in a strange tone, "Could it be that you want to feed me?"

Long Yi's eyes lit up with excitement!

Gu Jiao glanced at the hands behind his back, without thinking too much about it. After all, what was the big deal about being fed a meal? Considering he had saved her, she agreed to it.

"Okay then," Gu Jiao put down her chopsticks. "Go ahead and feed me."

She had never been fed by a Dragon Shadow Guard before. This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Long Yi happily took out the tableware he was hiding from behind his back!

Gu Jiao took a closer look and almost fell off the bed!

People usually use a spoon to feed others, but why did he bring a ladle?!

Was he serious?

Princess Xinyang was eating in the adjacent room when Gu Jiao walked in without changing her expression, "I thought about it, and it doesn't seem very polite to eat alone. I'd rather eat with the princess."

Princess Xinyang neither explicitly consented nor refused. Gu Jiao took it as a silent approval and sat opposite her.

There was another set of utensils on the table, but Gu Jiao didn't sit on the corresponding chair. Instead, she chose one adjacent to it.

After Gu Jiao sat down, she didn't bring the other set of utensils over to her side.

Yu Jin's gaze shifted slightly.

"Sit down and eat as well." Princess Xinyang said to Yu Jin.

"Yes." Yu Jin added another set of utensils for Gu Jiao and then sat on the chair corresponding to the set of utensils already on the table.

She looked at Gu Jiao with a hint of uncertainty, unsure if Gu Jiao had noticed that she was originally supposed to dine with Princess Xinyang or if it was just a coincidence.

Gu Jiao focused on her meal, as if she had no interest in anything else.

Yu Jin relaxed a bit and began to eat slowly and leisurely.

In truth, Gu Jiao wasn't completely indifferent to other matters; she simply didn't show it on her face. While eating, she discreetly observed Princess Xinyang.

Princess Xinyang's movements were very graceful, exuding a sense of innate n.o.bility and elegance. Gu Jiao couldn't help but think of Xiao Liulang.

Xiao Liulang was also like this, even back in the countryside. Despite wearing patched clothes, he couldn't hide the elegance and grace in his every gesture.

Gu Jiao had never seen what Xiao Liulang was like before, so he didn’t think that Xiao Liulang had become a completely different person like Old Chief did.

In reality, no matter how much a person's temperament, writing style, or habits changed, there were some small gestures and expressions that remained consistent.

Deliberate changes were things that one could consciously recognize and work on, but some natural habits that one was unaware of were difficult to change.

Xiao Liulang didn't even know that he blinked twice when he ate something delicious or raised his left eyebrow when eating something unappetizing.

Princess Xinyang was the same.
