In Jingxin District.

Gu Man was about to wash up when she heard the doorbell ring. The video surveillance showed that it was Xiang Yin at the door.

When Gu Man opened the door, Xiang Yin immediately explained, “I just came back from outside. I saw the light and wondered if you had come to stay. As expected.”

“Mm,” Gu Man said calmly.

Gu Man didn’t say anything, but her hand was still on the door, as if she was about to close it the next second.

Xiang Yin touched his nose unnaturally. He did not expect that he would be rejected one day.

He asked half-jokingly, “Aren’t you going to invite me in?”

“Oh, then come in and have a seat.” Gu Man finally stepped aside and walked into the hall.

“Why are you living here alone? Aren’t you staying at the Gu residence anymore?” Xiang Yin asked curiously as he followed behind Gu Man.

“Mm,” Gu Man replied calmly. She did not intend to explain that she had left the Gu family.

Xiang Yin saw Gu Man’s expression and knew that she did not want him to ask further. However, he was not very relieved that Gu Man suddenly came out to stay alone, so he asked, “The Gu family doesn’t know that you bought a house outside, right?”

“They don’t need to know.”

Hearing Gu Man’s answer, Xiang Yin thought that since the Gu family didn’t know that Gu Man had this house, wouldn’t they ask if Gu Man didn’t return home? Or did they think that it didn’t matter even if Gu Man was alone outside and might not have a place to stay or food to eat?

Thinking of this, Xiang Yin frowned and said, “The Gu family wanted you to leave the Gu family?”

“Everyone is happy that I left the Gu family.” Gu Man’s emotions were calm. As she walked to the kitchen, she asked Xiang Yin, “Do you want anything to drink? There are some drinks and fruit wine in the fridge.”

Xiang Yin was originally worried about Gu Man. Seeing that she did not care at all, he was slightly relieved.

Hearing Gu Man ask, Xiang Yin replied, “Anything is fine.”

Gu Man took two small bottles of green grape wine that she had just opened and placed one in front of Xiang Yin. “Do you like this flavor?”

Xiang Yin sat down and picked up the bottle to smell it. “It smells alright. When did you learn to drink?”

“The alcohol content is only three degrees. It’s not considered a bar, right?” Gu Man pointed at the alcohol content marked on the bottle.

Xiang Yin picked up the bottle and looked at it again. He smiled brightly. This was equivalent to fruit juice. He thought that Gu Man had learned how to drink.

After Gu Man sat down diagonally opposite Xiang Yin, he asked, “Can I know what happened that made you decide to leave the Gu family?”

Gu Man said indifferently, “I’ll have to leave sooner or later anyway. I’m just leaving a little earlier now.”

Looking at Gu Man’s expression, Xiang Yin felt that she was not forcing herself, so he smiled and said, “As long as you think it’s okay.”

“Of course I’m okay. Those people and my temper are at odds. We don’t owe each other anything, so there’s no need to continue hating each other.”

Gu Man had thought about it. If they really had to argue, she and the Gu family really did not owe each other anything. Although Gu Yuan was her father in name, the original owner was no longer around. The Gu family had no obligation to support Gu Man.

“Then what are your plans after that?” Xiang Yin asked again.

“I’m fine now. I’ll just live at this pace. I don’t have much plans yet.” Gu Man felt that everything was going according to her plan.

“That’s good. If you need help, you can tell me.”

Seeing that Gu Man looked like she had no problem at all, Xiang Yin felt a faint sense of defeat. He didn’t seem to have the chance to help her.

Gu Man nodded. “Okay.”

The two of them chatted casually for a while longer. After deciding that Xiang Yin would send Gu Man to school at 7:30 tomorrow, he said goodbye.

Before leaving, Xiang Yin waved the small wine bottle in his hand. “This fruit wine is not bad.”

“They sell them at the supermarket outside the neighborhood. Fifteen yuan a bottle.”

Gu Man went to see Xiang Yin’s reaction.

Sure enough, Xiang Yin paused. “It’s really cheap.”

This was the first time he had drunk such cheap fruit wine.

Gu Man sent Xiang Yin out the door. Xiang Yin thought for a moment and said, “Then... good night.”

Gu Man found it strange. These words seemed a little intimate. Could it be that it was trendier now?

But she couldn’t say it, so she nodded and said, “Bye.”

Gu Man closed the door, leaving Xiang Yin shaking his head and smiling bitterly. In the end, he took the elevator to the fourth floor.
