The clues were cut off just like that, the astrologer didn’t come back, and they couldn’t find it even if they wanted to.

Bai Zhi wrote a set of numbers in the guest book, which was a year, a year she was in before.

She used Chinese numbers, and Chu Yan felt strange when she saw it: “What are you writing this for? Is it a code?”

Bai Zhi nodded: “Well, he should be able to understand.” After putting down the brush, she handed the guest book to the young apprentice, and said, “I live in Dongfang Family Mansion in the capital city. If your master comes back, please let him come and see me.”

The young apprentice responded repeatedly, but he thought it was his master’s business whether he will come and see her or not. He was only responsible for relaying the message.

On the carriage back to the city, Chu Yan was a little dejected. He came here in high spirits, but he didn’t expect to return in disappointment. Bai Zhi didn’t seem happy and always looked in deep thought. Her brows which were flat before began to frown again.

“Don’t worry, Zhi’er, I will find that astrologer, and I will cut off the connection with you there so that you will no longer have to worry.”

Bai Zhi smiled slightly, and held her generous and warm palm back: “I’m not worried, but you, don’t worry too much, I won’t disappear suddenly, it’s not easy to take me away from here. ”

Chu Yan took her into his arms, clasped her back with one hand, and clasped her slender waist with the other: “Zhi’er, you promise that no matter what happens in the future, no matter whether someone comes to pick you up, you will not leave me.”

She lowered her eyes, her nose was slightly sour. She wanted to promise him, promise him happily.

But she can’t.

The most hateful thing in the world was to make a promise but fail to keep it. It gives people hope but makes them despair.

She was not sure what her future would be, so how could she make a promise to him easily?

“Why don’t you talk? You don’t want to?” Chu Yan asked again, with a little more anxiety on his face.

Bai Zhi closed her eyes, swallowed hard her tears, and pretended to be breathing in sleep.

“You fell asleep, didn’t you sleep last night? Why did you fall asleep?” Chu Yan muttered, supporting her body with one hand, and pulling the cloak to cover her.

Seeing her peaceful sleeping face, he also yawned.

It turned out that drowsiness was contagious, he chuckled, hugged the person in his arms tightly, closed his eyes, and rested his mind.

As soon as the carriage stopped at Dongfang Family Mansion, Bai Zhi ‘woke up’.

Chu Yan smiled and pinched her pretty face: “You woke up in time, if you wake up a little later, I’ll carry you in.”

Bai Zhi smiled dryly: “I’ve been awake for a while, but I’m a little dazed, but now I’m awake.”

The two got out of the car, Chu Yan sent her in, but he didn’t go in: “I still have some court affairs to attend to today, I need to go back to the palace early, eat well by yourself, and go to bed early at night.”

Bai Zhi responded one by one, feeling sweet in her heart, looking at his face, she missed him even before they parted.

Perhaps, this was the taste of love.

She couldn’t understand those couples in love before, they were stuck together all day long, wasn’t it annoying?

Now she finally understands, that’s what it was like to be passionately in love.

If they were just ordinary people, they would be the happiest couple.
