Gu Yanjing caught a glimpse of her, and amidst the continuous praise, some of the long-standing frost in his eyes melted away. ... It’s past eleven. Gu Yanjing and Qiao Yuxian came out of the study. Gu Yanjing walked towards his bedroom and saw Qiao Yuxian heading downstairs, so he stopped and looked at her. He watched as she went downstairs to the side hall, and after a while, came back with Zhaocai. She brought Zhaocai upstairs and met him in the corridor. Gu Yanjing watched her. Qiao Yuxian patted Zhaocai’s head and said, "Come, say goodnight to brother." Zhaocai looked at him and after a while, reluctantly barked twice. Gu Yanjing glanced at it and then looked at Qiao Yuxian, "Why are you bringing it along?" "To sleep, of course." Qiao Yuxian bent down to stroke Zhaocai’s head, "It’s been a while, we need to catch up tonight." Zhaocai wagged its tail at her. But when facing Gu Yanjing, it immediately adopted a cool demeanor. Gu Yanjing looked at the pair of them, his lips moved slightly but he couldn’t speak. In his mind, a picture formed of her sleeping with Zhaocai in her arms. "Alright, off to bed." Qiao Yuxian said, leading it past Gu Yanjing, towards her room. Gu Yanjing watched as they passed by, happily reached the door to her room, and saw Qiao Yuxian open the door, letting Zhaocai in first. He clenched his hand. Qiao Yuxian entered the room, then came back out, looked at Gu Yanjing, and said, "Gu Yanjing, you should reconsider about Feng Chuanbai. Right now really isn’t the best time." She knew that Gu Yanjing realized now wasn’t a good time to take action against him. Otherwise, after meeting Feng Chuanbai, Gu Yanjing wouldn’t have refrained from acting immediately. But now, taking action seemed inevitable, largely because of her. Gu Yanjing looked at her. "They say revenge is a dish best served cold," Qiao Yuxian said with a smile, "There’s no need to rush it." "I have a plan," Gu Yanjing replied. Qiao Yuxian nodded and didn’t say more, "Alright then. I’m going to sleep. Goodnight." With that, she went into her room and closed the door. Gu Yanjing stood at his own door, looking at the closed door for a long time before he returned to his room. ... The following two weeks or so passed in the same manner. Every night, Qiao Yuxian and Gu Yanjing would be in the study, and when returning to her room, she’d bring Zhaocai back with her. Gu Yanjing would stand in the corridor every night, watching Zhaocai enter her room. At first, it was fine, but over time, Zhaocai seemed to sense something. Every time before entering Qiao Yuxian’s room, it would cast a subtle glance at Gu Yanjing. If it weren’t for the fact that it’s a dog, Gu Yanjing would have kicked it out a thousand times... Before he knew it, November arrived, and as the weather got colder, Qiao Yuxian’s Special 8 exam neared, and some of her course tasks became more intense. Gradually, she became busy. She had to get up early every day, and went to bed late at night. Finally, on a Saturday, she resisted the urge to sleep in, got up early, and took Zhaocai back to the Qiao Family. Qiao Lech still hadn’t gone to school, refusing to leave the house, even worse than before, sometimes locking herself in her room and not wanting to come out. When they wanted to take her to see a doctor, she refused to go. When Qiao Yu invited a doctor to the house, she locked herself in her room, refusing to meet them. The doctor tried to talk to her through the door, but she wouldn’t say a word and was completely uncooperative. No one in the family dared to upset her. Qiao Yuxian would go back to the Qiao Family two or three times a week to keep Qiao Lech company and would consult Shen Wenyan based on her changing condition. Shen Wenyan, aware of the things she found hard to say, assisted her as much as possible, providing solutions and treatment options. However, he never asked unnecessary questions. Qiao Lech spoke less and less, so Qiao Yuxian planned to try bringing Zhaocai along. She was unwilling to be close to people, but maybe she would be willing to be close to animals. Zhaocai was very smart; Qiao Yuxian talked to it at length before going to the Qiao Family. So, in front of Qiao Lech, it dropped its aloof demeanor. It actively approached her. Perhaps due to its initiative, or perhaps because Zhaocai indeed had an appealing appearance with a very likable face. Qiao Lech took a liking to it, and for the first time, a smile appeared on her face. Zhaocai accompanied her in a side hall, along with Qiao Zhiang. Qiao Yuxian and Qiao Yu and his wife were in the living room, occasionally glancing over without disturbing them. "Yu Xian, have you been busy lately?" Chen Hui asked, "They say on the forum that this semester of senior year is very busy."
