"It's me."
A year had passed.
Gong Zi's appearance had become slightly more weathered. Just a day before, he had been unkempt, but due to calling off the engagement, he shaved his beard and groomed himself carefully. Now, he looked just as handsome as always, hardly any different from when he had left Changye.
"How did you manage to contact me?"
Gu Shen asked, somewhat surprised.
Heading north to call off the engagement, Gong Zi had not mentioned it to a second person... and in seeking to visit, naturally, he needed to avoid the watchful eyes of the Gong Family, finding a good opportunity. Without a doubt, he wouldn't use the deep water network until he returned to East Continent.
"Guess..."
Gong Zi tried to hide a smile, but the slight upward twitch of his eyebrows did not escape Gu Shen's notice.
Gu Shen laughed softly, "Congratulations on successfully calling off your engagement."
"Talking with someone like you is really boring."
