Gu Yanjing and Qiao Yuxian didn't go far, so Ji Xiaoxiao saw them when she came out.
Upon hearing the sound, Qiao Yuxian turned around and saw Ji Xiaoxiao ask, "Where are you going?"
"Going home." Ji Xiaoxiao lowered her head to tidy her hair.
Qiao Yuxian looked at her dirty clothes and said, "You're going back like this?"
Ji Xiaoxiao looked at herself and remained silent.
Qiao Yuxian said, "Let's go to the East Courtyard first."
Ji Xiaoxiao paused for a moment and then looked towards Gu Yanjing.
Gu Yanjing looked at Qiao Yuxian and said, "Let's go."
Qiao Yuxian held onto Ji Xiaoxiao's wrist and pulled her forward.
Ji Xiaoxiao said, "Thank you."
Qiao Yuxian chuckled and said, "It's really rare to hear you thank me."
"I'm thanking Mr. Gu." Ji Xiaoxiao said.
"Alright, alright." Qiao Yuxian said, "Didn't expect you to say anything nice to me anyway."
Ji Xiaoxiao let out a light hum.
Qiao Yuxian didn't say anything further.
