NOVPUBGu Zhi still didn’t fully understand the relationship between Shen Roujia and Wen Surong, nor did she grasp the full context of what Shen Roujia was talking about.
Gu Zhi led Shen Roujia outside, wanting to discuss things further.
Just then, there was the sound of slow, steady footsteps outside the post station.
However, because there were so few people, no one seemed to notice.
Shen Roujia looked at Gu Zhi and couldn’t help but ask, “Zhi Zhi, what exactly are you hesitating about? This situation is nothing but beneficial for you all.”
Even Shen Roujia herself didn’t quite understand her own persistence, but she knew that others might find it unbelievable.
Seeing Gu Zhi’s worried and hesitant expression, Shen Roujia didn’t want to make up some strange reason to deceive her.
She didn’t fully comprehend the situation herself, but she wished she could just live a simple life without complications.
Gu Zhi, on the other hand, wanted to hear a complete answer from Shen Roujia. Otherwise, she felt like a heavy stone was hanging over her heart, refusing to let go.
Shen Roujia didn’t find anything strange about her own behavior.
She slowly relaxed her tightly pressed lips and said, “Zhi Zhi, you might not believe it, but this is just my intuition.”
“I think I’ve found my real family, but if I…” 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝘤𝘰𝑚
Gu Zhi interrupted, confused, “Wait, what do you mean by that? Those people from the Northern Border are your relatives?”
Shen Roujia nodded seriously and then spoke slowly, “Given the current situation, I can’t explain everything to you right now, but I have one question to ask you.”
Gu Zhi gazed intently at Shen Roujia, “Go ahead, I’m listening.”
Shen Roujia hesitated, then asked, “As you’ve seen, those two people are likely my relatives. If I really am from the Northern Border, could you still accept me?”
The moment Shen Roujia finished speaking, she felt an uncommon sense of anxiety. “Hmm?”
Gu Zhi was initially stunned, then she frowned, “Is that really what you think of me? Do you believe I’m that kind of person?”
“I’m friends with you because we connect on a deeper level, not because of who you are or what your name is. It’s you that matters.”
For a brief moment, Shen Roujia felt an unprecedented sense of emotion.
Although she didn’t express it outwardly, her face couldn’t hide it. The smile in her eyes eased Gu Zhi’s heart considerably.
Shen Roujia and Gu Zhi exchanged smiles, as if all their worries had melted away.
