Gu Changqing took a deep breath.
He might be under a hex...
Once at home, Gu Changqing first dismounted his horse, then he lifted Gu Yan down, and took the objects in Gu Yan's hold to place them on a stone table in the front courtyard.
"I am leaving," he declared as he walked out.
Gu Yan looked at him hopefully, "Would you like to stay for dinner? My sister is an excellent cook."
That girl who's even colder than an assassin?
It's hard for Gu Changqing to imagine what her cooking would be like.
He glanced at the kitchen through the passageway, a faint sense of longing swept through his eyes, but ultimately, he resisted, "No, I should get home."
"Oh," Gu Yan felt disappointed.
Gu Changqing mounted his horse and glanced at Gu Yan, "Go inside."
"Hm." Gu Yan nodded, yet didn't move. She continued to watch him ride away until he disappeared at the end of the alley, only then did she turn around - hopping on the spot, she cheerfully entered the house.
Exactly.
