Gu Dai couldnt help but find humor in Gu Yins words, she didnt think Gu Yin made herself embarrassed with her own words.
Alright, Im leaving now, Gu Dai said.
Gu Yin nodded obediently.
When Su Ting returned, he coincidentally saw Gu Dai with her luggage, ready to leave, and quickly asked, Sis, where are you going?
To Suzhou City, Gu Dai replied.
Su Ting swiftly offered, Sis, its too dangerous for you to go alone. Let me apany you!
Gu Yin chimed in, Yes, cousin, let Brother Su Ting go with you.
Though young, Gu Yin could guess Su Tings feelings towards Gu Dai, especially given his nces at her. She preferred Su Ting over the uncle from the ne.
Its not necessary, Ive been to many ces before Gu Dai began, but when she saw their hopeful eyes, her voice faltered, eventually conceding, Alright, you cane with me.
Su Tings eyes lit up instantly. Sis, Ill pack my things right now. Itll only take three minutes.
Watching Su Tings hurried departure, Gu Dai called out, No rush, take your time.
Su Ting quickly responded, but Gu Dai sensed he hadnt really heeded her words.
Gu Yin giggled and pped her hands joyfully, With Brother Su Ting to take care of you, Ill be at ease.
Gu Dai, seeing Gu Yins astute demeanor, called out helplessly, Yinyin.
Gu Yin looked up at her cousin innocently.
Gu Dai, initially wanting to say something else, softened her tone, If anything happens at home, you can call me.
Okay! Gu Yin nodded.
Despite Gu Dais assurances that there was no need to hurry, Su Ting packed his belongings in less than three minutes.
Pushing his luggage and taking Gu Dais as well, Su Ting smiled, Sis, lets go.
A few hourster, they arrived in Suzhou City. After settling into their hotel and leaving their luggage, they headed to Xiuyang Vige to find Zhen Chan.
Following the GPS, Gu Dai reached the destination, only to find no sign of the vige.
Did we get the location wrong? Su Ting wondered aloud.
Gu Dai checked the GPS for a few seconds, then shook her head, No, its correct. Lets ask a local.bender
As she spoke, she saw a middle-aged woman and a young girl approaching.
Gu Dai approached them gently, Hello, my name is Gu Dai. Do you know how to get to Xiuyang Vige?
The girl smiled, Hi, Im Chi Mian, a viger of Xiuyang. Are you here for
Were looking for Master Zhen Chan to involve her in ourpanys Suzhou embroidery industry, Gu Dai exined.
Chi Mian nodded in understanding, I see. My mother and I were just heading back to the vige. We can go together.
Gu Dai thanked her, and Su Ting did the same.
Chi Mian waved off their thanks.
Chi Mians mother eyed Gu Dai and Su Ting warily, then quickly exchanged a few words with Chi Mian, who responded with a smile.
Gu Dai, not understanding their rapid conversation, looked on in confusion.
Chi Mian noticed and exined, My mother has never left the vige and only speaks our local dialect. She was worried you might be bad people, so I reassured her.
After speaking, Chi Mian led Gu Dai and Su Ting into the vige.
Walking on the rugged, winding mountain path, surrounded by lush vegetation, Gu Dai realized why she couldnt find the vige earlier Xiuyang Vige was incredibly hidden.
As Gu Dai nearly stumbled, Su Ting quickly caught her, ensuring she wasnt hurt before he rxed.
Be careful, sis.
Gu Dai, caught off guard by Su Tings concerned look, awkwardly averted her eyes, stammering, Yes, Ill be careful.
Realizing her distraction had almost caused her fall, Gu Dai promptly cleared her mind of wandering thoughts.
Chi Mian, noticing Gu Dais avoidance of Su Tings gaze and Su Tings constant attention on her, couldnt help butugh, remarking to Gu Dai, You and your boyfriend seem to have a great rtionship..
