90: Chapter 90: The Crystal Shoe Left Intentionally for Brother 90: Chapter 90: The Crystal Shoe Left Intentionally for Brother Gu Zhiqi came out of the bathroom and saw an anonymous transfer message on his phone.

Glancing at it casually, he stuffed the phone into his pocket and walked to the door of the room.

Su Yunling was leaning against the wall by the door to Gu Zhiqi’s room, looking down at his phone.

Hearing the door open, he shifted his gaze from the phone, turned slightly, and leaned half against the wall with a languorous and lofty smile, “Kid, awake?”

Gu Zhiqi, seeing him standing by his door, was a bit surprised and raised his eyebrows, “What’s up?”

Su Yunling casually pocketed his phone and, seeing the paper bag hanging from her wrist and the computer bag she was carrying, paused mid-motion, “You leaving?”

“Mhm, heading back to Yueqi Village,” Gu Zhiqi replied softly, looking sleepy and unawakened.

Su Yunling listened to Gu Zhiqi’s answer and narrowed his eyes slightly.

“Aren’t you staying to play a few more days?

You haven’t even tried all the dishes at Shadow Pavilion,” Su Yunling said with a smile.

Hearing Su Yunling’s words, Gu Zhiqi looked up at him, and after a moment replied lazily, “I promised someone I have to go back.”

He had promised to bring medicine back for Tang Yun.

Hearing this, Su Yunling raised an eyebrow, his thumb rubbing the ring on his index finger, and then fell silent.

It wasn’t until Gu Zhiqi walked out of the room and closed the door that Su Yunling asked, “You’re leaving now?”

“I need to stop by Central Hospital first,” Gu Zhiqi said as he handed over the room card to Su Yunling, “This card, do you want it or…”

The room card was provided by his subordinate, but right now, she couldn’t find any of his subordinates.

“Just give it to me,” Su Yunling said as he took the room card from Gu Zhiqi and toyed with it in his hand, “You’re going to Central Hospital now?”

Gu Zhiqi nodded.

“Great, I have to visit Tang Yichen at Central Hospital as well, should we go together?”

Gu Zhiqi fell silent for two seconds, then nodded.

She could hitch a ride.

After a few steps side by side, Gu Zhiqi thought of something, glanced sideways at Su Yunling, and said, “I left something for you in the room.” After a pause, she added, “Consider it a thank you gift.”

Su Yunling’s eyes lit up with amusement, “Being so formal with your brother?”

Gu Zhiqi shrugged her shoulders and continued walking without saying another word.

Seeing Gu Zhiqi not responding, Su Yunling’s peach blossom eyes lazily narrowed as he spoke leisurely, “By giving a thank-you gift, are you drawing a line with your brother?”

His deep, mellow voice carried a hint of melancholy, sounding somewhat aggrieved.

Hearing Su Yunling’s words, Gu Zhiqi suddenly stopped, turned to look at him, and raised an eyebrow, her lazy features gaining a touch of playful indulgence, “You can still be a brother; that was a crystal slipper I specifically left for you.”

Su Yunling “…”

He laughed softly after a long pause and murmured lowly, “You’re certainly no Cinderella.”

Gu Zhiqi pretended not to hear and continued toward the elevator, with Su Yunling quickly following.

They reached the stairwell just as the elevator arrived on the eighth floor.

The elevator doors slowly opened with only one person inside, a woman in ancient costume.

Gu Zhiqi felt the woman looked familiar and took a closer look.

The woman was tall but had a delicate doll-like face and a gentle and clean demeanor.

Her clear and pure eyes sat beautifully on her refined features.

With a somewhat hurried expression, the woman quickly walked out of the elevator.

After a couple of steps, she stopped abruptly and exclaimed, “Holy shit!

You’re actually here?!”
