After Gu Yiqing said this, the three girls in the car were all frightened. They didn't dare to breathe too loudly.

She shrank into a corner, wishing that she could just take it as air. She didn't dare to secretly look at this astonishingly handsome Third Young Master like she did when they first arrived.

The blood drained from Gu Jinzhu's face as she leaned against the window tightly, as if that was the only thing she could rely on.

After all, she was only a fourteen year old girl. When she heard that someone could ruin her future because of her, endless regret surged through her heart, almost drowning her whole body.

If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have been so angry at him. It was just that she said a few more words in anger, causing that person to go crazy and end up with such a disaster!

She could not imagine Chen Yunze being such a proud son of heaven, the youngest Top Scorer of the current dynasty. If he was unable to participate in the examination due to the damage to his legs, it would be a fatal blow to him.

She bit her lips tightly, feeling a throbbing pain in her chest. It wasn't that she still had feelings for him, but that she was feeling extremely guilty in the end.

Outside the window, the rain continued to drift in. Not long later, her hair got wet. Icy cold rain dripped down her face, yet she did not seem to feel it.

Yun Xiang felt her heart ache for him, and couldn't help but ask, "Miss, your complexion isn't good, are you tired? Do you want to lie down for a while? "

Gu Jinzhu shook her head. There was only one couch on the right side of the car. If she lay down, she would have to do it in front of Gu Yiqing.

Even though she was her elder, she couldn't imagine lying down casually in front of an unfamiliar man. So even though he felt a little headache, he still forced himself to lean against the window.

Yun Xiang placed a pillow made of ink behind Gu Jinzhu's back to make her feel more comfortable.

The sound of the rain was heavy and suffocating. She was afraid that the little miss would catch a cold, so she pulled down the curtain and covered the window tightly.

The light in the car instantly dimmed. Who knew how long it would take for them to get there?

Gu Yiqing glanced at the lost woman from time to time. It was not that he didn't see her guilt or sadness, but his eyes darkened when he thought of that arrogant kid just now.

To dare to make such an impolite request to the young mistress of the Residence of State, it wouldn't be too much to punish him lightly. In the end, he was asking for it himself!

It was still raining heavily outside, as if it was going to rain endlessly. His gaze swept past a patch of green, and he felt a little dizzy from looking at it for too long.

The car swayed all the way. It was unknown if Gu Jinzhu was feeling cold or something, but she unconsciously became tired. She leaned against the pillow and fell asleep.

She quickly pulled out a thin velvet blanket and covered her.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Gu Jinzhu suddenly woke up. She opened her eyes and saw that the carriage was still continuing. Beidou was sleeping with her, while Gu Yiqing was still leaning against the wall with her eyes closed.

She gently sat up and lifted the curtain to look outside. It was still a boundless plain, boundless and endless. No one knew where she had gone to.

Furthermore, after travelling for such a long distance, she actually hadn't seen a single village or guest house. It was unknown if she had missed it after falling asleep.

It was unknown when the rain outside had stopped, but the sky was still gloomy, making people feel depressed. She estimated that it had been noon since morning.

She pursed her lips. From the day she left the Yang family, her stomach was rumbling with hunger even though she hadn't eaten a single grain.

It wasn't good for her to wake up Yun Xiang and the others to get food, as her words would always alarm Gu Yiqing. She didn't know why, but she was actually a little afraid of seeing those warm and gentle eyes, but at other times, those cold and indifferent eyes without a trace of emotion.

The hungrier she was, the more sensitive her nose became. The fragrance of scallion oil was lingering at the tip of her nose. Her gaze gradually shifted to the package of unsealed Chen Ji scallion pancakes.

He had just bought it for her through the rain. Thinking about the trace of pity that occasionally flashed in her uncle's eyes, her heart was moved. He didn't seem so cold and heartless.

She didn't know how long it would be before she found a restaurant. After hesitating for a while, she couldn't resist the hunger. She took the biscuit and carefully opened the oil paper.

She nibbled at the bread, afraid of making a sound. She had moistened the cake before she lightly chewed it.

She bit down on it and frowned. However, she couldn't care so much about it now, and just as she was feeling a little dry, she suddenly reached out from the side with a hand and took the cake from her hand.

Gu Jinzhu was frightened out of her wits. She turned around and ran into a pair of quiet eyes. Her face suddenly flushed red as she stuttered, "I, I, am a little hungry …"

Gu Yiqing looked at the girl in front of him, amused. He had known this from the moment she woke up, but he pretended not to move to prevent her from becoming nervous. He had already felt that she was afraid of him.

When he opened his eyes, he saw her taking small bites of the cake. Her cheeks were trembling and she looked like a mole. When he saw that she was choking, he hurriedly took the biscuit out of her hand.

Gu Jinzhu's face was full of nervousness and awkwardness. When she saw the smile that flashed across her cold eyes, her face flushed red with embarrassment.

After seeing him slowly pour a cup of hot tea from the stove in the corner into her hand, he then took out a plate of Hibiscus Soup from a nearby food box and calmly said, "Eat some pastries first. There's still over ten miles until we have an inn. We can rest properly when the time comes."

As Gu Jinzhu held the cup, traces of heat flowed through the cup, causing her ice-cold fingers to finally feel a trace of warmth. Her heart trembled as she said in a low voice, "Thank you, Third Uncle."

Gu Yiqing looked at the obviously distressed and uneasy girl. She lowered her head slightly, holding the cup nervously with her two jade white hands. The red clouds on her face spread to her ears, and she pursed her lips. Her long eyelashes trembled uneasily like the wings of a plate, looking perturbed.

As expected, she was still a half-grown girl. The calmness and self-control from before was probably an illusion on his part.

Seeing that he could not even eat, she lifted the curtain and looked outside, saying seemingly out of the blue, "The rain has stopped, it's time to go out and exercise." Before she could reply, he had already stood up and jumped out of the room.

The faint sound of him and the attendant could be heard from outside. When she stuck her head out again, he had already jumped onto the extremely handsome black horse. With a whip, he sped forward.

As soon as he left, the two of them woke up. They patted their chests and said, "Oh, it was so hard to get out. It scared me to death."

"This third master looks like a celestial being from the heavens, but how can he be so frightening? With him here, I don't even dare to breathe, just like that black-faced fiend on the door!"

As she spoke, she made an exaggerated expression of fear, which caused Yun Xiang to laugh.

After a long time she couldn't help but lift the curtain of the carriage and peek out: "I want to see if the third master has gone far..."

However, before she could finish her sentence, the black clothed guard driving the carriage suddenly turned his head. His eyes were like ice and snow, and a touch of ice-cold sharpness that seeped into her bones flashed across her face.
