An Empress's Return to the Present: The Real Young Lady's Strong Comeback-Chapter 17: The Little Rabbit Loves Meat
Chapter 17: The Little Rabbit Loves Meat
The two of them left Chu An in a hurry. Chu An looked at his other phone on the table and even after a long time, didn't receive a friend request.
His eyelashes were lowered, seeming a little sad.
She must have recognized him.
The moment he saw her, Chu An remembered everything about his previous life. She was still the same, and nothing had changed. The moment he regained his memory, he really wanted to rush over and hug her, telling her how much he missed and loved her in his previous life.
But he held back.
He felt that he had no right to be with her anymore.
In his previous life, he had gone into battle without telling her and had gone, knowing that chances were high that he would die. In his eyes, a man should die for the country. Only in a peaceful era could he give Gu Xiao a good life.
He thought that as long as he survived this war, he would marry her in a palanquin with eight bearers. However, things did not go as planned. Although he led the army to win several battles, the country's internal strife did not stop. The enemy's reinforcements were endless. In the end, he was outnumbered and was seriously injured.
He relied on his strong willpower to survive and recuperate in a small village on the border. When the war subsided, news of a new emperor ascending to the throne spread. 𝘣𝑒𝑑𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘤𝑜𝑚
After receiving the news, he immediately rode his horse back to the capital. It took him a full three months to arrive. On the way, he heard that the new emperor had been assassinated during the coronation. The heart had clearly been pierced, but the emperor miraculously survived.
When he returned to the capital, he found out that the new emperor was Gu Xiao.
He could not hide the shock and excitement in his heart. He wanted to explain it to her, but she did not seem to remember him. Not only did she remove him from his official position, but she even got together with his brother.
From then on, Chu An fell back into mediocrity and died of depression.
He didn't blame Gu Xiao. He only blamed himself. If he could have been stronger, if he could have ended this war earlier—he couldn't imagine that carefree girl stepping on the blood of others to ascend the throne and becoming extremely cold.
He could only blame himself for not protecting her well and not giving her the life she wanted.
The moment he recalled everything, he was only afraid that Gu Xiao would remember everything from her previous life. However, Gu Xiao did not seem to show any disgust or disgust towards him. This made him cheer in his heart, but he had already lost the courage to be with her.
He only hoped that he could protect her for the rest of this life, no matter who she chose in the end.
Just as he was thinking this, his phone suddenly rang with a notification, and Chu An's heart jumped.
"[Rabbit Loves Meat] requests to add you as a friend."
This was precisely the kind of name she would have chosen.
Inadvertently, a faint smile appeared on Chu An's lips.
"Chu An, are you there?"
"Yeah."
"This, this, this, this, this… I don't understand all of these questions!"
"?"
"Please!"
"Why don't you change your name to Piglet Loves Vegetables? You're both stupid and lousy." He chuckled and immediately wrote down the detailed process of dealing with each question on the paper with a pen. He took a photo and sent it over.
"Ask me if you don't understand."
"Thank you!"
Chu An put down his phone and wondered if he should write down the process a little wrongly so that he could continue chatting with her.
Would this way of thinking be too greedy?
In order not to affect their studies, the program would stop filming after they returned to the dormitory. Moreover, Gu Xiao, An Yang, and Chen Li were assigned to the same dormitory. Therefore, Gu Xiao could feel the freedom and relaxation that she had not felt for a long time in the dormitory.
"Why is my homework so difficult? Why can't I understand a single question!" Chen Li wrote for a while and sprawled out on the table with her head in her hands. She looked like she had nothing else to live for.
"Wait a minute. These questions are just more logical. It'll be very simple once you figure it out. I'll teach you after I'm done with mine," An Yang replied.
"How many questions do you have now?"
"Just a small question."
"Help! Are we not going to sleep tonight?!" Chen Li covered her face with the book and suddenly turned to ask Gu Xiao, "Gu Xiao, didn't Chu An give you his contact number? Shall we ask him?"
Gu Xiao thought for a moment. She wasn't in a hurry to add Chu An into her friends list. She originally wanted to not add him and wait for him to ask her tomorrow. Then, she would say, "Do you really want me to add you? But didn't you say that we're not familiar?"
This way, she could turn the issue around on him.
However, in the current situation, although there was one in their dormitory that could slowly do the questions, the output was too slow and the efficiency was too low! If they didn't ask Chu An, they really didn't know how long it would take.
Hence, Gu Xiao compromised. She turned on the phone Chu An gave her and registered her account.
"Nickname?" Gu Xiao thought for a moment and slowly typed a few words: Little Rabbit Loves Meat.
On the surface, she was just a harmless little rabbit, but in truth, she was not one to be trifled with.
This is one of the ancient Chinese wedding customs, wherein a bride will be carried on a palanquin borne by four or eight bearers to her future husband's home, where he will be waiting.No need to explain why pig equals stupidity, but 'vegetable' in Chinese Internet slang means someone who is lousy, often used for games
