An Junxi bid farewell to He Yiqing and returned to the manor. She said to Gu Yikun, "He Yiqing has changed a lot. I'm afraid that when she meets Jingxiu again in a few years, he won't recognize her."
Gu Yikun responded, "So what if he recognizes her or doesn't? You're overthinking it."
His tone when mentioning He Yiqing was indifferent, as if talking about an unrelated child. An Junxi, knowing that President Gu had a straightforward personality, replied, "Jingxiu and she were not ordinary desk mates. Their relationship was different. Don't you know that? Have you forgotten Jingxiu asked you to help the He family?"
Gu Yikun was dismissive, "Back then, they were just eight or nine years old, elementary school desk mates. What could they understand?"
An Junxi couldn't be bothered with him, "You don't understand, President Gu!"
Gu Yikun leaned his head on her shoulder, "As long as I understand you, that's enough."
Seven years later.
