I became the God Brother of the Regent King after Transmigration!-Chapter 402 - 309: Parting (3)

She knew that if everything she experienced was just a game, then when Rong Heng handed her the Crow Order at this moment, it meant that she had completely won him over.

But this isn’t a game.

In this world, there truly is a young man who cherishes her more than his own life.

Gu Lan felt a sour sensation in her nose, swiftly turned around, and under Rong Heng’s indulgent yet helpless gaze, ran to her room.

After a while, she returned, panting, with a jar of candy in her hand:

"Only the orange-flavored ones are left. By the time you finish these, I should have reached the Southern Border."

"Alright."

Rong Heng carefully put the candy jar into his bag, smiled at Gu Lan with bent eyes, and gently replied.

Exchanging a Crow Order for a jar of candy, he felt satisfied.

The bright moon hung high, and the clear moonlight fell on the plaque at the entrance of Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.

Rong Heng mounted the horse, behind him were two followers from Crow Building, traveling together would provide mutual assistance.

The separation came so quickly that Gu Lan didn’t know how to react for a moment.

When it comes to separation, they had a similar experience before when the troops split outside Yinzhou.

But this time, perhaps the duration of separation would be longer, or perhaps...their relationship was moving forward compared to before.

Gu Lan’s mind was filled with scenes of protagonists parting ways from the novels and movies she had read in her previous life.

Should she kiss Rong Heng?

But Rong Heng is sitting on a horse, wouldn’t her flying up with Qinggong be strange?

Besides, she’s still a "man," wouldn’t Uncle Li and You Ying be scared?

Doesn’t Rong Heng want to kiss too?

Young Master Gu was deeply conflicted.

Suddenly, her vision blurred, and Rong Heng had already leaped off the horse, standing in front of her, tightly embracing her.

Some say a hug is a distant gesture because both sides can’t see each other’s expressions.

But Gu Lan felt that emotions released more intensely during a hug, and it’s more real to feel each other’s hearts.

She closed her eyes, her throat choked, inhaling the reassuring scent from the young man, she could hear his heart pounding and the vibrant life force.

Rong Heng was no longer the gloomy and ruthless young man he used to be.

"Otherwise, I could let Yuan go with you."

After a long time, Gu Lan released him and spoke in a hoarse voice.

Wei Chengyuan, clad in black, appeared silently beside them, startling You Ying.

"I only want to protect Lanlan, but if Lanlan insists I follow him, it’s not impossible," Wei Chengyuan said expressionlessly.

Rong Heng remounted the horse: "No need, let him protect you. The Capital City may not be safer than the battlefield."

You Ying said: "Rest assured, master, we will definitely protect Young Master."

"Let’s go."

Rong Heng dressed in a plain white short robe, the silver-white moonlight fell on his clear and proud brows, making him resemble a deity under the moon.

People say Xie Yun is warm and gentle like jade, as if an Immortal, but she just happens to feel Rong Heng is even better, if Xie Yun is an Immortal descended to earth, then he is the Immortal Venerate appearing.

Rong Heng gazed at her, his dark eyes like cold stars of ink jade: "I’ll wait for you at the Southern Border."

"Alright."

The young man, draped in moonlight, rode away, disappearing at the end of the long street, turning into a meteor.

Gu Lan gripped the sleeve crossbow tightly in her hand, turned back to the mansion: "It’s late, let’s go back."

Uncle Li, who was watching the entire time, couldn’t help but sigh: "Sigh, as I grow old, I can’t bear watching this scene...

Seeing today, it seems Prince Xiang indeed has deep feelings for you, Young Master, nor does he appear to be ungrateful, he even handed over his life in the Capital City to you, isn’t he afraid you’ll betray him?"

"Afraid." Gu Lan shook her head, whispered.

Uncle Li didn’t hear clearly: "What did Young Master say?"

"He’s most afraid of being betrayed, afraid of saying goodbye, afraid of women, afraid of being deceived...he fears many things, yet he still chooses to muster the courage to trust me," Gu Lan said, "so how could I bear to let him be sad."

Uncle Li looked at his own dashing and romantic Young Master, sighed:

"Once I didn’t understand the feelings between you and Prince Xiang, but now I can understand, as long as you love each other, does it matter if you’re male or female? With his actions today, Marquis and the elderly lady can also be at ease."

Gu Lan: "Pfft...Uncle Li, do you still not know something?"

Uncle Li asked confusedly: "What is it?"

Looking at Uncle Li’s simple and old face, Gu Lan decided not to tell him for now.

She was afraid his heart couldn’t take it.

The next morning, after practicing martial arts, Gu Lan looked south.

Sigh, the first day after Rong Heng left, I miss him.

The second day after Rong Heng left...

Gu Lan originally missed him very much, unexpectedly, the Zhou Family, who came to celebrate the elderly lady’s birthday, arrived in the Capital City, among them, her cousin Nan Shiqi, whose injuries had healed, was included.

Young Master Gu had no time to miss Rong Heng, happily flirting and joking with her little cousin.
