At this moment, in Gu Yanfei’s eyes, the Yu Chaoyun in front of her completely overlapped with the Yu Chaoyun in her previous life.

She looked gentle and elegant on the surface. She was generous, honest, considerate, and polite, as if she was putting herself in her shoes as a good friend.

But in fact, Yu Chaoyun was like a poisonous snake, waiting for an opportunity in a dark corner. As long as there was a chance, she would bite her hard.

Facing Gu Yanfei’s cold eyes, Yu Chaoyun kept smiling. She maintained her elegant demeanor and continued, “Your music is magnificent and vigorous. It has a different artistic conception. It opened my heart and amazed me.”

“Today, you and I were playing the zither in a competition, but we also became friends. For some reason, I feel like I’ve been friends with you for a long time.”

Yu Chaoyun said it sincerely, attracting more admiring gazes.

Gu Yanfei looked at her with a faint smile.

At this moment, she felt that the other party’s words and actions were right. This was the Yu Chaoyun she had known in her previous life.

The nature of a person would never change.

Yu Chaoyun praised Gu Yanfei’s zither music a few more times and spoke to her as if she was acting in a one-man show, but Gu Yanfei ignored her.

Wei Jiaoniang and the others also ignored her. They gathered together and whispered,

“Let’s go out and play, Lu Qin. It’s too boring here.”

“The snow is too heavy. It’s good to feed the fish here and admire the snow. Jiaoniang, let me pour you another glass of wine. This is imperial wine. When you go back, your grandfather will definitely envy you…”

“…”

They sat while Yu Chaoyun stood alone. It was as if an invisible barrier separated the two sides, making Yu Chaoyun look out of place.

Yu Chaoyun couldn’t continue. She pursed her lips and stood silently for a moment, holding her handkerchief.

The long silence made the atmosphere a little strange and awkward.

More and more people noticed that something was wrong and fell silent. They stared at Gu Yanfei and Yu Chaoyun.

In the silence, Yu Chaoyun sighed softly, her eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings. She asked softly, “Second Lady Gu, do you not like me?”

Her soft voice sounded like a sigh and a whine. The end of the sentence was soft.

Her dark eyes rippled. At first glance, she looked pitiful and compromising. When she looked over again, the pupils under her crow eyelashes were bottomless.

The cold wind outside the window blew bits of snow onto the table, bringing with it a chill that filled the room.

Wei Jiaoniang had goosebumps. On the other side, Miss Zeng, Miss Zhao, and the others frowned, their eyes revealing their disgruntlement.

As expected! The corners of Gu Yanfei’s lips curled up a little as her eyes darted around.

She still remembered the first time she met Yu Chaoyun in her previous life.

That should have been next month. Gu Yunrong held a banquet at the Marquis Mansion and invited many young ladies from the capital to the Marquis Mansion. Yu Chaoyun also came.

At that time, Gu Yanfei didn’t know how to interact with the young ladies in the capital, so she hid in the pavilion alone to feed the fish. It was Yu Chaoyun who took the initiative to approach her.

“Second Lady Gu, I accidentally wet my shoes just now. Can I sit here?”

“I’m not bothering you, am I?”

It had been 200 years, and she had thought for a moment that she didn’t remember anything.

It was only now that she realized that many things were just a corner of her memory that she had sealed away.

So she had never really forgotten.

In her previous life, Yu Chaoyun was like this. She was good at putting herself in a weak position and trapping the other party in a dilemma.

As long as others took a step back, she would take another step forward and naturally take the lead.

When Gu Yanfei was in the Bright Spirit Realm, she also encountered people like Yu Chaoyun. At that time, a senior sister of the sect told her that if she didn’t like someone, there was no need to like them. The people of the Tianwen Sect had never suffered any grievances.

“How nostalgic,” Gu Yanfei muttered softly.

She and Yu Chaoyun had finally reached the same destination as in her previous life.

Gu Yanfei smiled mockingly. She was originally worried that it would be too different from her previous life and that she wouldn’t be able to break through her mental demons.

Nostalgic?Yu Chaoyun was confused. Her slender fingers unconsciously pinched her cuffs.

‘Smash!”

Wei Jiaoniang slammed the wine glass in her hand on the table unhappily and thought to herself, ‘These girls from aristocratic families are indeed

“pretentious”! Their words are always sarcastic. ‘

Hmph, isn’t itjust being sarcastic? I know how to do it too!

Wei Jiaoniang was about to say something disgusting to Yu Chaoyun when she saw Gu Yanfei nod at her seriously.

‘That’s right.”

“1 don’t like you.’

Gu Yanfei’s voice was neither light nor heavy. It was as clear as water, echoing clearly in the quiet water pavilion.

The entire hall was silent, and the atmosphere instantly froze.

‘ Yu Chaoyun’s eyes widened slightly, and the perfect smile on her lips froze on her face.

She didn’t expect Gu Yanfei to say this and didn’t react for a moment.

Shouldn’t Gu Yanfei say to herself, ‘I don’t dislike you?

Shouldn’t Gu Yanfei take the opportunity to invite her to sit down and praise her zither skills?

Yu Chaoyun came to a realization.

Soon, she pinched her fingers and tried to calm herself down. She looked into Gu Yanfei’s eyes and asked, “Why?”

Her voice was low, and her body was tense.

Gu Yanfei looked steadily at Yu Chaoyun.

Her gaze was too clear, too calm, and too bright. It was like the brightest star in the night sky, making Yu Chaoyun uncomfortable.

Gu Yanfei’s gaze was as if she could see everything about Yu Chaoyun, inside and out. It was as if Yu Chaoyun’s thoughts couldn’t be hidden from Gu Yanfei or as if Gu Yanfei was looking at a clown.

This feeling was really terrible.

Yu Chaoyun couldn’t help but ask again, ‘Why?”

Gu Yanfei casually propped her chin on her fist and tilted her face to look lazily at Yu Chaoyun. She smiled leisurely and said, “Guess?”

The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, as if to say, ‘Ifyou ask, do I have to answer?

There was silence in the water pavilion again.

Gu Yanfei didn’t play by the rules at all. Yu Chaoyun was speechless.

At this moment, Yu Chaoyun could no longer hide her loss of composure. Her lips were as tense as iron.

None of the girls she knew in the past were like Gu Yanfei!

Not far away, Miss Zeng and the others frowned as they watched this scene.

Gu Yanfei wasn’t targeting Yu Chaoyun alone. Her words of “1 don’t like you” were clearly meant for all the daughters of the aristocratic families to hear.

Could it be that Gu Yanfei treated them all as strong competitors and was announcing to them that she was determined to get the position of the Eldest Princess Consort?!

The women from the aristocratic families couldn’t help but let their imaginations run wild as they looked at each other.

“Pfft!”

Wei Jiaoniang’s crisp and lively laughter broke the awkward silence.

Miss Zeng’s expression darkened as she thought to herself, ‘These country bumpkins are simply unreasonable.’

Although Yu Chaoyun had lost, she was magnanimous and even took the initiative to express goodwill to Gu Yanfei. Her words were appropriate, but not only did Gu Yanfei not appreciate it, but her attitude was also so disrespectful.

Preposterous!
