The discussions of men and women vaguely came from the crowd, rising and falling.
“Since Third Miss Gu is Li Erya, why did she become the daughter of the Gu family?”
“Perhaps the Li family adopted their daughter into the Gu family?”
“Why would the Gu family adopt the daughter of the Li family for no reason? It’s not like the Gu family doesn’t have a daughter!”

“No matter what, it’s really…”
For a moment, all kinds of speculation lingered in the air. No one even sensed when Chu You would leave.
Many people also wanted to ask Gu Yanfei, but they didn’t dare to. They could only take a detour to find Wei Jiaoniang, Lu Qin, and the others to ask.
Gu Yanfei turned a deaf ear to the speculations around her. She leisurely got up from the long bench and looked at Chu Yi not far away with a faint smile.
The handsome young man stood under a willow tree with swaying branches and leaves, as elegant as green bamboo. The golden sunlight reflected on his face, which was as crystalline as jade. His auspicious phoenix eyes were abnormally gentle, with the shattered shadows of the sun.
When their eyes met, she seemed to have been pressed into a clear stream, reminding her of the scenes by the stream in the morning.
Her gaze accidentally lingered on his white jade earlobe.
A rather inexplicable thought appeared in her mind. What would happen to him if she bit his ear?
She was amused by this thought and smiled until her eyes curved up. She stretched out her hand to Chu Yi. “Lend me your pocket watch to play with.”
She smiled slyly, and the smile vortex on her lips seemed to have been dipped in honey.
As the two of them spoke, they completely ignored the fact that the surrounding people had stopped discussing.
More and more eyes looked at Gu Yanfei and Chu Yi. Private discussions rang around again. This time, the protagonists were Chu Yi and Gu Yanfei.
But the two people at the center of the topic didn’t care at all.
Chu Yi followed her instructions and took out a silver pocket watch from his sleeve. He placed it in his palm and handed it to her.
The young man’s fair fingers were long and beautiful, like jade bamboo. They were clean and beautiful, and they looked a little compatible with the silver pocket watch.
That pocket watch was still warm from his body temperature. It was warm to the touch, exactly the same as the pocket watch in the hands of the Emperor and An Le.
The same pocket watch looked so small and exquisite in his palm, but in Gu Yanfci’s hand, she couldn’t hold it tightly.
Gu Yanfei rubbed the slightly protruding grass patterns on the pocket watch and recalled that An Le had said that the embroidered appearance on the dress she was wearing at the coming-of-age ceremony today was personally drawn by him.
For her coming-of-age ceremony, he must have put in a lot of effort.
Just thinking about it made Gu Yanfei feel sweet in her heart. She looked up at his eyes and said calmly, “I’m very happy.”
Her eyes were filled with joy.
She was happy that he had done these things for her, so she naturally wanted him to know her feelings.
Chu Yi took a step closer to her, his long body casting a long shadow that caged her. He leaned over and whispered in her ear, “Then how do you plan to repay me?”
As he spoke, the clear aura on his body assailed her nostrils.
Gu Yanfei was stunned. Her gaze landed on his fair and long neck. His slightly protruding Adam’s apple rolled as he spoke, and she felt her teeth grit again.
Was she a cat?
This thought flashed across her mind.
She tiptoed and imitated him. She whispered in his ear, “Another day.”
This time, it was Chu Yi who was stunned.
Then, a gentle smile rippled across his handsome face. His entire face emitted an unbelievable light. It was clear, handsome, and dazzling.
As he stood here, it was an endless spring.
He smiled, and Gu Yanfei also smiled. He thought happily in his heart: She really knows how to coax people.
“Yanfei.” Wei Jiaoniang waved at Gu Yanfei and shouted, “Let’s play pitch-pot.”
She called Gu Yanfei, which was equivalent to calling Chu Yi along.
Chu Jia, Chu Shen, and the other members of the royal family also joined. They even called Chu Shen’s sweetheart, the eldest daughter of the Du family, and the dozen or so young masters and girls excitedly played pitch-pot.
There was no lack of expert pitch-pot experts among the people present. In a battle, no one was willing to fall behind. They used the various skills they were good at, such as piercing ears, hearing, leaning poles, shooting arrows, and so on.
Applause and cheers kept coming from the surroundings, and there was no winner for a long time.
Not only was Lu Qin not good at wood shooting, but she was also not good at pitch-pot. She had long been eliminated, so she cheered for everyone at the side..
