When the sky was barely bright, Little Jing Kong woke up as usual. His bad brother-in-law wasn't around, which was no surprise. After all, his bad brother-in-law usually woke up earlier than him.

Today was New Year's Eve.

Unfortunately, JiaoJiao hadn't returned, leaving him feeling listless and unenthusiastic, too lazy to even put on new clothes.

He sluggishly dressed in an old outfit, drooping his little head as he headed outside.

He habitually wandered around Gu Jiao's room first before attending to his morning routine.

Like a lifeless puppet, he entered the room, moving slowly around the bed, then turning and leaving.

In the backyard, he picked up a small toothbrush made from a horse's tail. As he brushed, his slow mind suddenly conjured an image.

Someone was in the bed!

JiaoJiao!

"Oh, oh, oh!"

Little Jing Kong abandoned both the toothbrush and cup, swiftly turned around, and dashed towards Gu Jiao's east room!

At the doorway of the east room, Yao shi, Gu Yan, and Gu Xiaoshun had also arrived at this time.

Yao shi and Gu Xiaoshun waking up early wasn't surprising, but it was astonishing that Gu Yan, who usually loved sleeping in, had also risen.

It was probably the telepathy between twins. Gu Yan actually woke up in the middle of the night and then he came to Gu Jiao's side and lay down.

As he smelled his sister's scent and held her hand, he finally felt like the missing half of himself had returned.

"Jiao——"

Before Little Jing Kong could say anything, Gu Yan covered his little mouth.

Anxiously, Little Jing Kong looked at the soundly sleeping JiaoJiao, nodded a few times, and gave up struggling.

Even though he longed to see JiaoJiao, he shouldn't disturb her.

"Shall we go outside first?" Yao shi said softly.

Everyone nodded and reluctantly left to sit in the main room.

Grannie Fang entered the main room excitedly through the back door, asking in a hushed tone, "I heard from guye and Old Master Huo just now that the young miss is back?"

Old Chief had also been deeply concerned about Gu Jiao, so after daybreak, Xiao Heng first informed Yao shi of Gu Jiao's safe return and then went to report to Old Chief.

Yao shi couldn't hide her excitement. She smiled and nodded, speaking in a lowered voice, "Yes, she's back."

Grannie Fang clasped her hands together, "Amitabha, thank Heavens!"

Before leaving, Gu Jiao had left a letter at home, stating that she was going to the borders as a physician. Except for Xiao Heng and Gu Yan, everyone else believed the letter.

But even going there as a physician was extremely dangerous.

In a war zone where even Old Marquis had been captured, Gu Jiao, being a young girl, became everyone's biggest worry.

Now, seeing her return safely, everyone's lingering worries finally subsided.

Gu Jiao slept straight through until the afternoon.

She had been on the move for so long, so when she opened her eyes, she felt momentarily confused. She almost thought she had traveled back in time. Otherwise, why would she wake up in such a warm place?

Then she saw through the crack in the door, one, two, three, four little heads poking in: "…"

It was Little Jing Kong, Gu Xiaoshun, Gu Yan, and Gu Xiaobao, who was just three months old.

Gu Xiaobao was held in Gu Yan's arms, his pair of black grape-like eyes wandering around, while he was smacking and sucking on his fingers.

The room was filled with the sound of him sucking his fingers.

Gu Jiao: "…"

Gu Jiao sat up.

Little Jing Kong's eyes lit up. He pushed open the door and rushed to the bedside first, "JiaoJiao, you're awake!"

Gu Yan snorted, "Hah, JiaoJiao isn't awake, she's still asleep."

This stinky little monk runs so fast!

Humph!

Little Jing Kong completely ignored his stinky Big Brother Yan. JiaoJiao was back, and he only wanted to talk to JiaoJiao!

He reached the bedside, dove into Gu Jiao's arms and swayed his little head cutely, "JiaoJiao, I missed you! I missed you so much!"

Originally, he just wanted to act cute, but as he did, his nose started to feel sour, feeling deeply aggrieved.

He hadn't seen JiaoJiao for so many days. He felt as if life had lost its color!

He wanted to relive those three months!

"Your hair has grown long." Gu Jiao remarked.

When she left, he still had a buzz cut. Now, it was almost a mushroom-like hairstyle. By the time the New Year pa.s.sed, he should be able to tie it up into a little ponytail.

"Mm." Little Jing Kong responded, feeling somewhat aggrieved. He didn't want to talk about his hair right now. "JiaoJiao, remember to take me with you next time you go out. I want to go with you."

Gu Yan walked in, holding Gu Xiaobao. He glanced at the little guy and said, "What do you think that place is? You think a little kid like you can go there?"

Little Jing Kong straightened up from Gu Jiao's arms, putting his hands on his hips and looking at Gu Yan, "I will grow up!"

Gu Yan loved arguing with the little guy. He said, "Even if you grow up, you can't go there. That's a war zone, it’s very dangerous there. A delicate scholar like you can only stay in the capital.”

These words successfully silenced Little Jing Kong.

Gu Yan thought he had finally won an argument against the little guy, but unexpectedly, a while later, Little Jing Kong spoke with a hurt tone, "So, JiaoJiao went to a very dangerous place?"

He was just a child, and the family wanted to protect him, so naturally, they didn't tell him that Gu Jiao went to the battlefield.

They only said it was the borderlands, which was what Gu Jiao had written in her letter as well.

Little Jing Kong thought it was just a house visit in a very distant place.

Gu Yan hadn't expected to accidentally spill the beans during their argument. He cleared his throat and said, "Alright, alright. JiaoJiao has come back safely. You don't need to worry anymore."

He spoke as if he hadn't been worried himself.

"JiaoJiao." Little Jing Kong looked at Gu Jiao solemnly.

"Hmm?" Gu Jiao was a bit puzzled by this sudden reaction. She wondered if the little guy had been frightened. War was a scary thing for a child this young.

She was about to comfort him and pat his little head, telling him that she was really okay, and just as Gu Yan had said, there was no need for him to worry about her anymore.

However, Little Jing Kong suddenly looked at her very seriously and said, "JiaoJiao, don't go to dangerous places in the future.”
