As they walked not far from the riverbank, Ziyan spotted a familiar, slender, and tall figure standing there, with a pair of beautiful eyes fixed intently on the direction she had come from.
Ziyan couldn't help but scrutinize this person. However, as soon as she caught sight of his large eyes shining like stars, she dared not look directly at him anymore.
Instead, she quickly shifted her gaze to other parts of him, aside from his eyes. Although Gu Yuxuan was only around sixteen or seventeen years old, he was already about 180 centimeters tall.
In this distant ancient period, perhaps due to malnutrition or imbalanced diets?
Thus, the average height of people was generally low. Yet even in such circumstances, Ziyan estimated that in this time and space, she was not yet fifteen years old and stood around 162 centimeters tall, which was relatively tall compared to girls her age in this era. Gu Yuxuan was even taller!
With a sigh, Ziyan couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.
Hmph, what a connection! He was actually waiting for her here without any prior arrangement.
Thinking of this, Ziyan unconsciously gave a thumbs-up to this seemingly cold guy. It seemed that Gu Yuxuan was quite decent in how he handled things.
"Um, thank you for before," Ziyan said as she reached out to hand her clothes to Gu Yuxuan before turning her back.
Gu Yuxuan merely glanced at her briefly without responding and calmly put his clothes back on.
Then he picked up the two large Azure Fish tied together with grass rope from the ground and approached Ziyan.
Ziyan's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the two large Azure Fish and exclaimed, "Wow, are you a fairy or a magician? How did you manage to catch two such big fish so quickly? You have quite a skill!"
"Hmph, is that called skill? Then you must be too much of a frog in a well."
Gu Yuxuan raised an eyebrow and replied coolly, gently placing the two large fish into Ziyan's basket. Leaning down to her ear, he seemingly said something strange: "No need to thank me for now, but remember, you owe me a favor."
After saying that, he turned to leave without looking back.
"Hey, Brother Yuxuan! Do you know where I can find a lot of fresh wild mushrooms?"
Ziyan thought about promising her mother to return home early, but she had no idea where to pick wild mushrooms at the moment.
There was a ready-made free 'guide' right beside her—Gu Yuxuan. Since he claimed she owed him a favor, if she owed him three times, it was still a debt. In the future, she could owe him ten times, a hundred times, or even a thousand times. Having more debts didn't hurt; after all, in the Twenty-First Century, people understood that those who collected debts were the underlings, while those who owed debts were the bosses.
Who was afraid of whom? It would save her from wandering around alone in the mountains!
Looking at him, he seemed to be bored anyway; he was everywhere. So why not let him help her find some?
With that thought in mind, Ziyan took a couple of steps closer and smiled sweetly at him.
"Um? Oh, this? Sure! I saw some wild Shiitake mushrooms growing in a Pine Forest not too far from here, but it's a bit of a distance over there on the mountain. Are you brave enough to go with me?"
Hearing Ziyan actively ask him for help, there was a hint of mischief and provocation in her tone as she pointed toward the distant mountains.
Seeing the mischievous expression on her face made Ziyan think: He had already saved her twice; even if there were wild beasts on the mountain, with him around, could they really take her away? Looking at his calm demeanor and how he dared to navigate through these beast-infested woods alone, he must have extraordinary skills.
Thinking of this, Ziyan's heart sank, and she immediately switched to an incredibly gentle tone, saying, "Alright, then I will trouble Brother Yuxuan."
Seeing Ziyan's expression change like flipping through a book, Gu Yuxuan paused for a moment and said no more. He simply nodded lightly at Ziyan before turning around and leading the way forward.
They followed Gu Yuxuan without any surprises and climbed up the Pine Forest he mentioned, having spent more than half an hour.
Ziyan was already panting heavily, secretly doubting: Is this guy deliberately making me climb such a steep slope? She hadn't even picked any Shiitake mushrooms yet and almost strained her back.
In the end, there were still a few steep slopes that this kid pulled her up like carrying a chick, which was utterly humiliating.
After a while, when Gu Yuxuan let go of her and told her they had arrived, Ziyan reached back and gently patted her waist a few times.
Then she walked towards the center of the pine forest. However, after just a few steps, she saw that under the Pine Trees, there were clusters of delicate Shiitake mushrooms scattered everywhere, varying in size like little umbrellas.
Instantly, her heart was filled with joy! In an instant, she found herself at a loss for words to describe it.
Beside her, Gu Yuxuan watched Ziyan smile so widely that her mouth seemed ready to split from ear to ear, causing him to twitch his lips involuntarily.
Then he quietly jumped onto a very high and sturdy branch of a tree, leaned against the trunk, and began to sit with his eyes closed to rest.
But after just a moment, as if remembering something, he suddenly opened his beautiful eyes and leaped down from the tall tree. Then with one bound, he disappeared without a trace.
