Chang Geng was afraid that at this moment, even if someone were to throw him into a mountain of tranquilizer, it would still not be able to stop his heart from trembling greatly inside his chest. He sat numbly on his horse for a moment, his mind blank, the sharp tongue which could make a lotus bloom now bore a blossom of a tyrannical flower, blocking all his words inside.

He could only rely on instinct, revealing a stiff smile.

Gu Yun called in a low voice: "Chang Geng?"

These two words exploded, blowing up and ringing in Chang Geng's ear. He rubbed his nose from the embarrassment of his inability to calm down: "I coincidentally traveled to Sichuan and happened to hear from Miss Chen that yifu will arrive in these two days, I had decided to rest here for a while. How timely, I was going for a stroll, I did not expect to be able to meet with you here."

The little soldier on the side thought in astonishment: "Bathing and changing into new clothes, indicating the exact time and location every day...just for a stroll?"

He looked intently at Chang Geng's unremarkable horse, suspecting that it was a godly steed hidden under its ordinary exterior.

At this moment, the door slammed open, Master Sun thoroughly ignored the moving scene of father and son reunion after many years of separation, and hurriedly rushed out to vomit.

Chang Geng's suffocating breath finally returned to his chest again. He tilted his head and glanced at the Ministry of War's official who appeared like an ill chicken, asking in a gentle voice while pretending to sound surprised: "Why, did I say something disgusting?"

Gu Yun laughed.

In the past few years, although he was somewhat aware of Chang Geng's whereabouts, he did not expect for the other boy to turn out like this, it seemed as if he had been reborn anew.

Gu Yun momentarily forgot about their anger-filled separation from last time, about the lingering frustration, their cold war, and his perseverance to send people to keep an eye on Chang Geng's whereabouts.

He was astonished from being able to recognize Chang Geng and stopping in time, because the boy was truly different — each of his movements, to his behaviors, to the smile on his face, everything had changed.

Time had once again shrunk in front of his eyes, Gu Yun calculated with his fingers — how could he not change, it has been more than four years already.

Shen Yi came over and smiled: "My gods, the little prince is already... do you still remember me?"

Chang Geng: "Greetings, General Shen."

Shen Yi said: "If it were me, I wouldn't be able to recognize you. Only your yifu, missing you so much every day, he would always take a longer look whenever he caught sight of someone slightly resembling you..."

Gu Yun could no longer bear it, he interrupted: "Where did you find so much nonsense?"
