Chapter 162: Where the Face Gone

Jiang Tunan stayed in Wushi Village for a few days, and he was increasingly confused about what Gu Lang was thinking. Although they had captured these people, they were given good rooms to live in and provided with food. Su Xiaoxiao next door had already treated this place as a holiday villa, and there was no trace of the anxiety and panic she had when she first arrived here.

"Miss, look, there are peach blossoms blooming over there!"

Guo'er and Su Xiaoxiao chattered happily on the side. Jiang Tunan looked in the direction Guo'er pointed. There was indeed a large peach blossom forest behind the yard where they were. If it were in Kyoto at this time of year, the peach blossoms might have begun to wither, but the peach blossoms here were in full bloom.

"April in the world is exhausted, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temples begin to bloom."

Jiang Tunan shook his head and pretended to recite a few lines of poetry, appropriately showing off his few cultural possessions.

"Miss, Miss Jiang wrote this poem very well."

Guo'er praised from the bottom of her heart. Su Xiaoxiao had an awkward expression on her face. Jiang Tunan's poem was indeed good, but she was a little reluctant to admit it. However, she couldn't write a better poem than this.

"Um.."

Su Xiaoxiao could only respond reluctantly and quickly pulled Guo'er away.

Jiang Tunan saw Su Xiaoxiao's inner thoughts and muttered,

"This damn girl is so stingy."

"Good poem."

Gu Lang came over with the support of Hua Bei, and he looked even worse.

"Thank you for the compliment, but I didn't write this poem. I just memorized it."

There was a hint of tenderness in Gu Lang's eyes, and a slight smile on his lips.

"Even if this poem was not written by Miss Jiang, it is very appropriate to use it in this situation, which shows how much Miss Jiang understands this poem."

Jiang Tunan: "Hehehe~ No way~"

Why is Gu Lang still praising her so much? It makes her feel embarrassed.

Hua Bei: What the hell is going on?

"My brother Gu is just being polite, don't take it seriously."

Hua Bei made a mocking remark, and Jiang Tunan looked at Hua Bei with disdain.

"You are just jealous of my talent. I understand. I am too good. Being excluded is my fate."

Gu Langwei stopped Hua Bei helplessly.

"Ah Bei, you have argued with Miss Jiang so many times, but have you ever won? I think you should just forget it."

Hua Bei looked incredulous.

"Brother Gu, you..."

Gu Lang smiled and patted Hua Bei's hand. Although he didn't say anything, it dealt a great blow to Hua Bei.

Jiang Tunan: Let the world be silent and listen to the sound of Hua Bei breaking through the defense.

Gu Lang walked closer to the peach blossom forest, with memories in his eyes.

"I have loved peach blossoms since I was a child, because I have read articles and poems about peach blossoms since I was a child, and they are all beautiful and happy."

Gu Lang turned his head and looked at Jiang Tunan.

"But someone once told me that she felt peach blossoms made people feel sad. I asked her why. Miss Jiang, what do you think her answer was?"

Jiang Tunan: How come you got admitted to me?

"Emm, could it be that she was frustrated in love at that time?"

Gu Lang laughed heartily.

"She was only five years old at the time, so how could she have failed in love? But what she said at the time was that happy scenes are the easiest to highlight sad feelings."

Jiang Tunan thought to himself, "This kid is great! If he were alive today, he would definitely be a master at Chinese reading comprehension. He has such awareness at such a young age."

"Brother Gu, when you say that, it reminds me of a poem I liked very much before."

Gu Lang seemed to be somewhat interested and spoke softly,

"Miss Jiang, please speak."

Jiang Tunan cleared his throat and said in a gentle voice,

"Last year in this gate today, the peach blossoms on the faces of the people were red. The faces of the people don't know where to go, but the peach blossoms still smile in the spring breeze."

Gu Lang was stunned for a moment, his thoughts seemed to pass through the peach blossom forest and return to the beginning of everything. It only took a moment for him to wake up again.

"Miss Jiang's poem...I like it too."

The peach blossoms were in full bloom, and Jiang Tunan suddenly felt dazed for a moment. In the distance, under the peach forest, a delicate little kid was sitting under a tree, eating snacks and reading a storybook, and next to him was a tall and straight boy. The boy lowered his head slightly, his eyes were gentle, and the little kid was swinging his legs. When he looked up by chance, he found the boy.

【Brother Liang.】

[Yes, Xiao Xueer.]

A breeze blew by, petals fluttered in the sky, and the figures of the two disappeared in the depths of the peach blossom forest.

"Miss Jiang, what are you thinking about?"

Gu Lang spoke up and brought Jiang Tunan back from his memories. Jiang Tunan's eyes became wet for some reason as he looked at Gu Lang's face, which had become much more mature.

"Miss Jiang, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing tears in Jiang Tunan's eyes, Gu Lang's eyes flashed with a trace of heartache.

"I'm fine... I just kind of want to go home."

In the corner beside him, Xiao Mingrui was lost in thought as she watched the scene in front of her. Going home? Going back to the Xiao Mansion, or back to her previous home in the ravine? Was she unhappy living in the Xiao Mansion?

Xiao Mingrui stared at his hands blankly. When he picked up Jiang Tunan that day, he was very surprised. Jiang Tunan had been in the Xiao Mansion for so long, why was her weight still as light as when she first came? Was she really not living well in the Xiao Mansion?

"Miss Jiang, this is for you."

Gulang took out a pendant from his arms. It was shaped like a auspicious cloud, with cloud patterns engraved around it and a cute pony carved in the middle of the pendant.

"Huh? For me?"

Jiang Tunan did not reach out to take it. After all, one should not accept a gift without doing anything. Why would Gu Lang give him the pendant for no reason?

"That's right. Miss Jiang and I hit it off right away, so I wanted to give you this pendant."

Gu Lang saw Jiang Tunan's suspicious expression and knew that she was somewhat wary of him, so he explained,

"This pendant is not valuable, and the material is not of any precious variety. I made it myself when I had nothing to do. I originally wanted to give it to Xue'er..."

Jiang Tunan felt that the pendant was not worth keeping.

"Since this is for your sister, how can you give it to me? You should take it back."

A flash of pain flashed across Gu Lang's eyes, and Jiang Tunan felt uncomfortable watching it. Gu Lang choked up and spoke,

"It's no use, because Xue'er died a long time ago."

Hua Bei, Jiang Tunan, and Xiao Mingrui in the corner were all shocked. Hua Bei was a little at a loss and said,

"Brother Gu, why are you..."

Gu Lang smiled bitterly, his voice a little hoarse.

"Ah Bei, I know everything you did for me behind my back, but you shouldn't have forced Miss Jiang to pretend to be Xue'er."

Then Gu Lang turned to Jiang Tunan and said,

"Miss Jiang, you really look like Xue'er. I'm sorry, I don't mean to use you as a substitute for Xue'er, but every time I talk to you, it always reminds me of the memories that I almost forgot. So thank you so much, this pendant can be my thank you gift."

Jiang Tunan didn't know why, but suddenly felt moved to tears. He tried to hold back his tears and said,

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter even if you mistake me for Miss Xue'er. I was the one who lied to you first."

Gu Lang walked closer and hung the pendant around Jiang Tunan's neck.

"Thank you. I know I won't live long, but before I die, I can vaguely recall Xue'er's appearance through you again. I am really satisfied."

Hua Bei lowered her head, not expecting that all her previous thoughts had been discovered by Gu Lang. But since Jiang Tunan was so similar to Xue'er in Gu Lang's eyes, why didn't he keep Jiang Tunan by his side?

There was a flash of madness in Hua Bei's eyes. As long as it could make Brother Gu happy, it would be okay for him to be the bad guy.
