Chapter 2728: I Trust You
After some small talk, Di Fuyi was concerned that Gu Xijiu might be having a hard time digesting the food while sitting down, so he pulled her up and went for another walk with her.
Gu Xijiu saw the words that filled another part of the gardens and was quite embarrassed. "Fuyi is gone along with everything else," she wrote. Her desperate remarks spoiled the entire view of the gardens.
She quietly rolled up her sleeves and performed a spell to wipe away the words along their walk. Deep down, she wanted to restore the place to its original beauty. Wiping away these words also made her feel better; it was like getting rid of her past anxieties and exasperation in one go.
Stealthily, Gu Xijiu tried to remove the marks without Di Fuyi knowing. Di Fuyi had nothing against it. He only held her hand and walked the path together as if nothing was happening.
As they continued walking, one of the stones they passed had a carving that said, "Di and Jiu, forever." Di Fuyi immediately stopped her from removing it. "Keep this one."
It was at that point that Gu Xijiu realized that Di Fuyi knew what she had been up to all this time. She looked up, only to find Di Fuyi’s hand on her forehead. "This is a good sign and should never be wiped away. However, you may wipe the phrase about how I was gone like everything else because I will never be away from you ever again."
Gu Xijiu was delighted by the last promise that he made to her. "I take that as a promise. If you abandon me again, I will surely take revenge this time."
"Oh, baby, why did you make it sound so serious? How do you plan on getting revenge, exactly?"
Gu Xijiu had to pause to think about the master plan but realized that she would never hurt the man she dearly loved. She could not even find the courage to hurt his little finger.
