Yuanbao rolled his eyes. Why was his son speaking for his love rival? Was he crazy?

"It turns out that he caught a cold!" Shen Qingxu thought about the time when Gongsun Jiayan was thrown into the water by Xu Xingyi. She also couldn't swim, so Gongsun Jiayan's health must have started to deteriorate at that time.

"By the way, where is the token you received?"

"What token of love is there? I don't know where the peach blossom lantern was lost. Besides, can a peach blossom lantern be used as a token of love? It's just a trick to trick children."

"You are such an emotionless woman...you have ruined my true love."

"Your head!"

She hasn't thought about what happened between them for a long time.

"Gongsun Jiayan and I have only been together twice. We haven't had much intimate contact. In fact, we haven't interacted with each other much, so I can't say I like him that much."

"Until now, I just treat Gongsun Jiayan as a friend and don't feel there is any difference."

If she had not made an appointment with Mu Yunzhou here today, and had not heard Gongsun Jiayan's words by chance, she would have never taken love between men and women to heart.

She never thought that Gongsun Jiayan would really be interested in her. After all, they had never gotten along well. Gongsun Jiayan had said several times that he liked her, but she was not stupid. He was sincere and his eyes could not deceive her. Gongsun Jiayan's love was only on the surface. He said that he would take care of her, but she did not believe it.

Moreover, she had a preconceived idea. No matter what Gongsun Jiayan did, she would first consider what his purpose was. Every word of Gongsun Jiayan's words just now was in line with her innermost thoughts. She had always wanted someone to accompany her, and she was envious of the way her sister and brother-in-law got along. She wanted someone to pamper her, and that kind of pampering had nothing to do with family affection.

She was too ignorant to understand love, but she knew that she wanted someone to accompany her and belong only to her. Gongsun Jiayan's words touched her, and she was at a loss for a moment, as if the secret in her heart had been revealed.

Seeing that Mu Yunzhou was still puzzled, she felt relieved.

She only knows how to wield swords and guns and has great strength, but she can't be gentle and quiet, let alone compose poetry. She always advocates gender equality. Gongsun Jiayan may only look at her differently because of his mother and sister.

Thinking of the three classmates who had deceived her in class at the academy, her experience going south, and the dangers her sister had gone through when giving birth, she couldn't help but consider whether Gongsun Jiayan had ulterior motives for what he had just said.

Could it be that he was getting close to her because of his career?

He is going to take the imperial examination in the second half of the year. Is he trying to help his sister?

Just as my sister said, no one will be nice to you for no reason. Except for relatives, everyone else has a purpose. Some invisible interests are also close goals.

Her mind is in a mess now. As for Gongsun Jiayan, she will find time to explain everything to him, but now that he has said these words, she hopes he will not disappoint others.

Shen Qingxu originally wanted to ask Gongsun Jiayan in person what he thought, so that she wouldn't have to worry about Gongsun Jiayan's character. If he liked her, he liked her; if he didn't like her, he didn't like her. There was no need to think so much.

She didn't know what she was struggling with, and how she should feel about Gongsun Jiayan.

In the past, when I read storybooks, I would put myself into the perspective of the characters in the book. If I liked it, I would accept it; if I didn’t like it, I would leave it. But why do I feel so conflicted when real things happen to me?

Could it be that she really fell in love with Gongsun Jiayan?

But there is always a sense of resistance in my heart. What on earth does she want to do?

She wanted to see Gongsun Jiayan’s purpose?

Want to tear off Gongsun Jiayan’s hypocritical mask?

Mu Yunzhou saw Shen Qingxu was in a daze and felt regretful. He just wanted to ask Shen Qingxu out for dinner. What did he do wrong?

Why did he want to hear Gongsun Jiayan's affectionate confession? No, for Shen Qingxu's sake, he had to uncover Gongsun Jiayan's true face, otherwise the idiot Shen Qingxu would really be deceived by Gongsun Jiayan, the pretty boy.

Although Shen Qingxu said that it was all a misunderstanding with Gongsun Jiayan, he didn't believe it at all.

"Shen Qingxu, you are so stupid, how could you be so easily fooled?" Mu Yunzhou looked at Shen Qingxu and thought: Are all good-looking girls stupid?

But Lin Shuyao and the Queen are not like this?

Alas, when will she realize that Gongsun Jiayan is not a good person? Mu Yunzhou does not understand love, but there is no love in Gongsun Jiayan's eyes. How could he like Shen Qingxu deep in his heart?

"You're the easy one!" Shen Qingxu came back to her senses after being in a daze and looked at Mu Yunzhou, "Mu Yunzhou, why are you in a daze?"

"I'm not in a daze. I'm just observing the various aspects of life. They are all struggling for their lives." Mu Yunzhou said.

"Everyone has a different life, and others see you the same way."

"Well, it's okay. It feels like everyone's life trajectory is similar."

"No way, just like me... never mind."
