At the same time, Gu Shiyi's entire body was hugged by a warm embrace.

Logically speaking, Gu Shiyi's first reaction would be to counterattack when she encountered such a thing, but she actually didn't panic in the slightest right now. Instead, she felt extremely relieved.

Just as Gu Shiyi was wondering to herself why she had such a feeling, she heard a familiar yet distant call that instantly caused her tears to fill her eyes.

"Eleven!"

The voice was low, full of magnetism. It was nice to listen to, yet gentle; it even carried an infinite amount of gentleness and longing. This voice, was unique to Situ Jing, and made Gu Shiyi feel incomparably nostalgic.

After Situ Jing shouted for eleven times, he released the hand that was locked in Gu Shiyi's mouth and body. Gu Shiyi then turned around and looked at the person dressed in the same black night attire, but it could not hide his moving, devilish complexion.

"Situ Jing!"

For the past one thousand days and nights, she had softly called out to Gu Shiyi with this name countless of times. But this time, it was so real.

Situ Jing did not say anything, he only hugged Gu Shiyi tightly into his embrace. At this moment, the two of them were hugging each other, talking more than anything else, all was silent.

After a long while, Situ Jing finally let go of Gu Shiyi reluctantly. Right now, they still had matters to take care of, and this was not the time for them to be in love with each other. Although the thing he wanted to do the most right now was to communicate with Gu Shiyi, but reason kept reminding him that the timing was wrong.

"You also did it for that?"

Gu Shiyi followed Situ Jing's gaze that was on the pile of firewood and asked him.

"Un, follow me!"

After Situ Jing finished speaking, he pulled Gu Shiyi by the hand and walked to the back of the pile of firewood.

It looks like what he had guessed was right, Gu Shiyi did not simply follow Situ Yu, she also had a goal.

Gu Shiyi obediently held onto her hand. This feeling of being linked with ten of Situ Jing's fingers made her feel especially at ease. It made her want to trust and rely on Situ Jing from the bottom of her heart.

They only saw that after Situ Jing fumbled around for a while, he only heard the sound of rocks rubbing against each other as they rotated. Soon after, the pile of firewood moved away completely, like a small mountain, without moving at all, revealing a half meter wide staircase that looked into the ground.

After Situ Jing nodded to Gu Shiyi, he pulled her and walked towards the stairs.

Gu Shiyi placed her feet on the stairs and looked at the pile of firewood again. Only then did she realise that the firewood was fake, but it was already done to the point of being fake. If not for Situ Jing, she would not have known that it was fake.

Before Situ Yu left, he had especially repeatedly reminded Xiao Zhi to stay by her side properly and take good care of her. Not only that, he had even given Xiao Zhi a meaningful and warning look before he turned around.

For Situ Yu to let Xiao Zhi look at her so clearly, there must be something that she couldn't know, which was why it was like this. Furthermore, Gu Shiyi was sure that this matter was going to be extremely troublesome to handle, and it would be impossible for Situ Yu to escape for a short period of time.

This was why Gu Shiyi had the intention to confuse Xiao Zhi and personally investigate him. Or perhaps, she could take this opportunity to thoroughly destroy everything that Situ Yu possessed, without a doubt.

Then what about Situ Jing? Why was he here, and how did he know the entrance was here, and what exactly did he do with his missing years, and how did he recognize her?

Thinking about this last question, Gu Shiyi's face couldn't help but turn red. Could it be that Situ Jing had recognized her at first glance?

Even though Situ Jing was completely focused on the tunnel, he was also constantly paying attention to Gu Shiyi's every move. Every single frown, every single smile, every single glance, and every single frown, made it seem as if he hadn't missed a single one of them.

"I followed you all the way here!"

Situ Jing didn't know how to reply, so he could only explain why he would appear in Yan City, and that was indeed the case.

Gu Shiyi raised her head in shock and stared at Situ Jing's beautiful side view, as though something was about to pop out from her heart.

Situ Jing had followed her all the way here, so it meant that he knew that Situ Yu had kidnapped her, and he didn't choose to appear in front of her or bring her away, all of this to protect her?

Only now did Gu Shiyi remember that she had been given that unknown medicinal pellet by Situ Yu, so when did Situ Jing start following her?

"When I was searching for Situ Yu in the tunnel constructed by Situ Yu, I ran into the Crown Prince of the Great Mo Nation. I guessed that you were being held hostage by Situ Yu and that's why I chased you out."

Situ Jing was like a worm in Gu Shiyi's stomach. Without even asking, Situ Jing had already guessed the doubts in her heart from just her gaze.

Not only did it cause him to lose their unborn child, it also caused him to lose Gu Shiyi for more than three years. From then on, Situ Jing also deeply understood just how important it was to be honest.

If he had been more honest with Gu Shiyi back then, and the two of them had explained everything to him face to face, and asked until now, how would there be so many unforeseen events that he would regret so much until now?

So at the moment, Situ Jing only wished he could tell Gu Shiyi everything that had happened, but the timing was wrong, and the things he could say were extremely limited.

After Gu Shiyi finished listening to what Situ Jing had to say, she felt a little disappointed but at the same time, rejoiced.

He was glad that Situ Jing didn't know about the matter of his being fed the medicine by Situ Yu, so he wouldn't be worried about her because of this.

"When you were sick, other than sending over the best doctors and medicinal ingredients, I also made some preparations during this period of time. That's why I was able to have people find the location of this tunnel."

Situ Jing continued to speak by Gu Shiyi's ear. He wanted to let her know, that when she was sick, he was also worried, and he was also worried. And compared to Situ Yu taking care of his personally, sending the best doctors and medicinal ingredients, that was the basis of her recovery.

When Gu Shiyi heard this, her nose felt sour once again. It turned out that he wasn't absent when she needed Situ Jing the most, but had always been by her side, accompanying her and guarding her.

It was just that she didn't know!
