In the evening, Princess Consort and the others had not returned, and only sent a letter for them.
"How is it?" Gu Jinchen asked, handing Luo Ge a peeled lychee.
Upon hearing this, Luo Ge put down the letter in her hand.
"The Princess Consort said they unexpectedly had matters to attend to and left the town. The Wet Nurse she mentioned earlier should be able to arrive tomorrow, and Doctor Ming will stay here until after I give birth before leaving."
At the end of the letter, they left their contact information, telling them to seek out that person if they had any issues to contact them.
Apart from this, the envelope also contained many words of advice, mostly telling her to take care of herself.
From the meticulous and thoughtful language, she could see that the Princess Consort truly regarded her as her own sister.
Although she did not know what merits she had to receive such treatment from someone as esteemed as the Princess Consort, she admitted it was indeed very heartwarming.
Upon hearing this, Gu Jinchen nodded, took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands, and pinched her cheeks.
"Don't be unhappy, you'll see them again in the future," Gu Jinchen said softly, noticing her dejected expression.
"Mm."
"Little uncle, little auntie."
"Little auntie, little uncle."
Just as the two of them finished speaking, two listless little fellows came back from outside carrying their small book bags.
With their heads hung low and dejected, their appearance made the young couple puzzled.
"What's wrong? Not happy?" Luo Ge asked with a smile, shamelessly pinching their chubby little faces.
These two little ones were never able to hide anything, and with their reddened pinched faces, their watery eyes looked towards Luo Ge in unison.
After blinking a couple of times, tears fell.
"Chu has left, and Yi Chen and Master Xu are also leaving," they said in a muffled voice.
Their two good playmates and the teacher who had treated them so well were all leaving.
They were so reluctant to see them go.
Today, the Little Crown Prince had left with the Princess Consort and the others. The person who delivered the letter to Luo Ge and the others had also passed on the Little Crown Prince's message, bidding farewell to the two little ones at the school.
"Hm?" Luo Ge looked puzzled upon hearing this.
They knew about the Little Crown Prince's matter, but they were unaware of Yi Chen and Elder Mr. Xu's situation.
After asking, they learned that earlier when they completed their lessons at school with Yi Chen, he had mentioned it.
Yi Chen said that he and his grandfather were going to return home, and would be gone for a very long time, so he wouldn't be able to play with the two treasures anymore.
When the few little ones heard this, they naturally felt reluctant to let them go.
On top of that, the Little Crown Prince had also left with the Princess Consort and the others today. With their sorrows compounded, it was no wonder they were so distressed and reluctant.
Listening to this, and seeing the two little ones with their reddened noses and teary eyes, Luo Ge felt helpless in her heart.
She bent down and patted their heads: "It's alright, you'll be able to see them again in the future. If they don't come back, when we grow up, we can go find them ourselves."
"In any case, we will definitely meet again. And for now, isn't Yi Chen and the others still here?"
"Instead of spending time being sad, shouldn't we cherish the time we still have left to spend with them?"
Upon hearing Luo Ge's words, the two little ones froze for a moment, wiped their tears, and stared at her with wide eyes.
"That's right."
For now, Yi Chen was still here, so they should cherish the present.
But...
"Can we really go find them in the future?"
Hearing the two little ones' words, Luo Ge nodded seriously.
"Of course."
If they truly wanted to meet, distance would not be an issue.
Hearing Luo Ge's affirmative answer, the two little ones finally smiled.
Watching this scene from the side, Gu Jinchen's mouth was full of smiles.
