nJing Tian and I went to see Gu Nian.

n

nGu Nian had lost a lot of weight, but he still looked good.

n

nWe sat down, and he ordered someone to bring me fruit tea, pudding, and cake.

n

nJing Tian coughed lightly. “Master Liu, you’re so kind, but I’m still here.”

n

nGu Nian said plainly, “I’ll always be patient and kind with Nanxing.”

n

n“Gu Nian, that’s too much!” Jing Tian’s tone was unfriendly, but his expression didn’t change.

n

nGu Nian chuckled. “Is that too much? I don’t think so.”

n

nI took a sip of the fruit tea and praised, “Not bad.”

n

nGu Nian was delighted. He pushed the cake and pudding towards me. “Try it and see if they’re good. If you like them, I’ll have my people send some to you every day.”

n

nI shook my head with the cake in my mouth. “No, no, no. If you do that, I’d have to look at Jing Tian’s cold face every day.”I spoke in all seriousness and didn’t even look at Jing Tian.

n

nGu Nian smiled. “Let him stew in his coldness. He won’t stop you from eating. I can guarantee that.”

n

nI nodded. “Of course, even if he wronged himself, he wouldn’t deprive anything of me.”

n

nGu Nian’s smile froze for a moment before he sighed. “Nanxing, what kind of virtue did he accumulate in his past life that he’d gain your protection so much in this life?”

n

nI swallowed the cake and took another sip of the fruit tea. It was refreshing. “He saved my life in my past life, so I have to pay him back in this life,” I said in all seriousness.

n

nActually, what I said was the truth. It was just that I was the only one who knew the truth.

n

nGu Nian sighed again and glanced at Jing Tian, who was obviously very pleased with himself. “I think I lost because of the order. If I had met Nanxing earlier, you wouldn’t have been involved!”

n

nJing Tian couldn’t hide his smile. “Wrong! First, I have already met her in our previous lives. Second, when I first met her in this life, she was only five. You couldn’t be earlier than me. Besides, you didn’t lose because of the order. It’s just that you’re not fated. You have no choice but to be envious!”

n

nGu Nian gritted her teeth and glared at Jing Tian. “It doesn’t matter. This life is still so long! I’m still waiting. If you let Nanxing down in the slightest, I’ll be ready to swoop in!”

n

nJing Tian frowned and said impatiently, “Give up. You’ll never have such an opportunity in this life!”

n

n“Then in the next life! I’ll queue up earlier!” Gu Nian wouldn’t put it to rest.

n

nJing Tian was annoyed. “Gu Nian! Are you done? Let me tell you, Nanxing and I have been together for countless lifetimes, and you’d never have the chance! Move out of the way!”

n

nGu Nian didn’t back down. “That’s not up to you! It’s my freedom to wait for her!”

n

nI waved my hand in front of the two of them and suggested, “Why don’t you two go out and fight?”

n

nBoth of them glanced at me. They loosened their collars and stopped talking.

n

nI placed the cup of fruit tea heavily on the table and scolded, “You two are almost 70 years old when added together. Please, can you not be so childish? Am I not in the room? Can I be shared like this?” I glared at both of them. “You’re too childish to be reliable!”

n

nThe two of them glared at each other. Gu Nian smiled and turned his head away. Jing Tian turned his head and ate the cake on my fork. He said proudly, “Hmm, it tastes pretty good!”

n

nReally, a childish person!

n

nGu Nian coughed lightly. I quickly said, “You’re about to become the president. Stop playing around!”

n

nDon’t be a child anymore. I really couldn’t stand the two of them!

n

nGu Nian glared at Jing Tian.
