Chapter 13
“This is the lecture notes that will be used today. Everyone, pass them on,” the teacher said.
“Here you go.” Gu Xiao turned around and passed the lecture notes to the person in the back row. Her gaze met with the boy in the back row.
In the next moment, her pupils suddenly dilated. During the days of her rebirth, she had always thought that no matter what happened in this life, she would remain calm. However, the person in front of her made her hold her breath.
The boy had delicate features The moment he met Gu Xiao’s eyes, his brows relaxed. The gaze in his eyes, which was as calm as autumn water, seemed to ripple, and his brows were filled with gentleness.
“Chu An?” she asked tentatively.
The boy’s body trembled visibly, and his cool voice sounded. “How do you know my name?”
The name was the same!
“No, I saw it on the seating chart. Here are your lecture notes.” Gu Xiao quickly threw the lecture notes on his desk and turned around, trying to control her racing heart.
Why was he here!
The matter between her and Chu An could be traced back to the time when she transmigrated back to ancient times.
At that time, Gu Xiao was still an unknown little palace maid. At the end of spring one year, she was assigned the task of sweeping shed flower petals.
One day, in a pavilion, she saw someone had writted a poem on the ground with water. “The flowers fall without a trace in spring, but the rain is always there.”
The water had not dried yet, which meant that the person who wrote the poem had not gone far. Gu Xiao secretly admired it for a while. His writing was not bad.
Because she had not transmigrated to an era recorded in history, she had learned from the transmigration texts she had read when she was bored; she picked up a thin branch and wrote on a fallen leaf, “The sound of the wind and rain comes in the night, and how many flowers fall.”
The next day, the person who left the words written in water came to the pavilion again. When he saw the leaf and the poem on the leaf, he could not help but be overjoyed. After pondering for a long time, he also imitated Gu Xiao and left a poem on a leaf.
Ever since then, the two of them often competed with each other in this way. Finally, one day, when Gu Xiao was writing, someone called out to her softly. When she turned around, she saw a handsome young man.
That person was Chu An.
At that time, Chu An was a civil official by the emperor’s side. When he had nothing to do, he would come to this pavilion to express his poetic sentiments. Ever since he saw Gu Xiao’s poem, he was surprised that there was actually such a talented person in the palace.
After the second poem, he did not leave. Not long after, he saw a little girl skipping over. She first looked at his poem for a while, then wrote an echoing poem on a leaf.
Chu An understood that she was only a palace maid, but in Chu An’s eyes, she was much prettier than the concubines in the harem. She was lively, quick-witted, cute, quirky, and talented. His gaze gradually stuck to her, and he couldn’t take his eyes off her.
After that meeting, Gu Xiao was also moved by Chu An’s gentle and jade-like temperament. Although the two of them didn’t say it explicitly, they had long fallen for each other in their hearts.
However, good times did not last long.
Not long after, war broke out. The country was in a hurry to recruit soldiers for war, and the situation was very dangerous. Gu Xiao begged Chu An several times not to go to the battlefield, but Chu An only gave an ambiguous answer. However, one day, she really couldn’t find Chu An anymore.
She didn’t blame Chu An, but she blamed herself. She blamed the heavens for arranging such a rough fate for her.
She cried for a long time. When Chu An left, she seemed to have lost her soul.
The war lasted for an entire year. By the time Gu Xiao received news about Chu An, he was already dead.
Later on, Gu Xiao realized that all of this was caused by a traitor. Because the emperor at that time was obsessed with women and did not bother to govern the country, the traitor turned the country upside down, finally causing this huge war.
And it was also from that moment on that Gu Xiao became determined to reach the peak. On one hand, it was to ensure that she didn’t live in vain, and on the other hand, it was to avenge Chu An.
On her path, wherever she passed, blood flowed like a river. She executed all the traitorous spies and evil officials and walked step by step to reach the position of empress.
But so what? The lives of these people could not be exchanged for him.
She originally thought that she would never see Chu An again.
But why was he here?
Their voices were similar. They looked the same. Even their names were the same.
He was reborn too? But why did he look like he didn’t remember her? Could it be that he wasn’t reborn with his memories?
Gu Xiao’s mind was in a mess. She had imagined countless ways the production team and Ji Yao would target her, but she had never expected Chu An to appear in this world!
Hence, Gu Xiao’s mind was not clear throughout the entire lesson. However, this lesson was the math that she was the worst at. She had not even heard a single word!
