Hearing this, Gu Yun raised his long eyebrows on one side and said in surprise, "Sudden? What's so sudden?"

Shen Yi: "..."

Gu Yun said: "Didn't you also give her the token of love?"

Shen Yi slouched his head and slowly searched his chest. Under Gu Yun's surprised gaze, he slowly took out a small cloth bag wrapped in thin silk, which was tightly wrapped by another layer, he unwrapped three layers to reveal the contents of the bag — it was the "legendary" small hairpin.

"Not given it yet?" Gu Yun mercilessly gave an evaluation, "How fortunate, it's too ugly."

Shen Yi covered his heart silently.

Gu Yun commented: "Searching back and forth for half a day only to pick something so old fashioned, if someone does not know, they would have assumed you bought this as an offering for your grandmother. Moreover, Miss Chen obviously doesn't like such flashy things as pearls and ivory. It was such a waste for you to buy this."

The first half of the sentence, Shen Yi could accept with reluctance and humility. But the second half was not right. Shen Yi immediately asked with caution, "How do you know she doesn't like it?"

Gu Yun waved at him and said: "A woman, unless she is really too poor to afford something, will buy what she likes herself - otherwise, do you think she will be dreaming about it all day long and looking forward to someone buying it for her?"

Shen Yi: "..."

Gu Yun leaned back and looked at him pitifully, he shook his head and sighed, "You think too much."

Shen Yi appeared very pitiful and helpless at this moment.

Gu Yun was always happy to bully him on regular days, but witnessing his panic at this time, Gu Yun seldom felt a little sympathy. He silently took an egg boiled in the hot spring from the small tray on the side and handed it to him.

In retrospect, after they joined together to deal with Jia Lai, they each went to different places. Chen Qing Xu went back to the Chen family's old house then to the capital to take care of Chang Geng. Shen Yi stayed in the Northern Frontier for a long time. Later, Gu Yun transferred him to Jiangnan. One in the north, one in the south, it seemed they had no chance to even say a few words.

Shen Yi was truly incompetent, failing to seize the opportunity to deepen connections with someone who he had been through life and death with. If Miss Chen was not born with the ability to chase others far away, how could he still make a fuss behind her back now?
