Chapter 20 An eyesore. There are always many people around her.

A light drizzle began to fall from the sky, and the misty atmosphere blurred the view.

Half-soaked by the rain, Yu Wenxue was annoyed that she hadn't brought an umbrella. Summer clothes were already thin, and the damp fabric clung to her body, making her feel quite uncomfortable.

Now that she had finally guessed the location of Gu Yun Shen's tent, she was even less likely to go back to change clothes at this time, after all...

Since we're already here...

An unchanging truth.

She bent down and gently tapped three times.

The door opened by itself inexplicably.

Even more strangely, the door closed by itself as soon as she went in.

...

I thought that getting caught in the rain would lessen the discomfort caused by the spring rain, but the heat only intensified.

Yu Wenxue couldn't help but shrink back.

Is this some kind of ghost?

Guan Nan, who was outside the door, sneezed and thoughtfully locked the door.

It's so late, and it's raining, yet Miss Yu still comes to see her master. What else could it be but true love?

He needs to be discerning; even if the sky falls, he won't show up again tonight.

Guan Nan clapped his hands and said, "Go boil some water!"

The room was filled with a faint scent of herbs and trees, and the dim candlelight flickered in the cold wind that blew in.

Yu Wenxue stood at the door, tiptoed, and softly called out, "Second Young Master?"

No one answered.

Are you asleep so early?

But it doesn't seem very early.

She walked a little further inside, raising her voice: "Second Young Master, are you asleep?"

A muffled groan finally came from behind the screen.

His voice was deep and somber, which sounded rather unpleasant.

Is he injured?

Yu Wenxue tiptoed around to the back of the screen and saw that Gu Yunshen's eyes were closed and a little cold sweat was seeping from his forehead. He looked like he was sleeping very restlessly.

Apart from the white cloth strip that is always tied around his wrist, there are no signs of bandaging on his body.

It's good that he wasn't injured.

Yu Wenxue breathed a sigh of relief.

I remember my grandma saying that you shouldn't wake someone up when they're having a nightmare, or they'll become stupid.

She didn't know when he woke up, so she simply sat down next to him, propped her chin up, and began to admire the "beauty."

This body is truly beautiful; the skin is pale and cool, but the lips are a healthy red, and there's a high nose bridge and long, thick eyelashes...

Looking further down, there's a slender neck, with a slightly protruding Adam's apple, and the contours of the neck are subtly visible as they descend along the delicate collarbone...

Little eyes, stop looking!

Do not look at what is improper!

The heat intensified, and Yu Wenxue loosened her collar, her gaze falling on his wrist, where there seemed to be blood.

Considering that he had saved her several times before, she felt she couldn't be ungrateful, so perhaps...

Should we change his dressing?

Thinking of this, she gently touched the white bandage.

Before she could even touch her wrist, she was pinned to the bed and the world spun around her.

Yu Wenxue subconsciously sat up, about to speak, when someone grabbed her neck.

She struggled to open her eyes, and what she saw was Gu Yun Shen's gloomy gaze.

Oh no, I'm going to die!

That's incredibly unlucky.

She slapped his face hard, trying to make him see her clearly, but her arms were limp and she couldn't muster any strength. She looked as ridiculous as a drowning white goose desperately flapping its wings.

Just when she thought she was about to die, the grip on her neck suddenly loosened.

Suddenly without support, Yu Wenxue collapsed onto the edge of the bed and couldn't help coughing.

"You're so strong even when you're sleeping!"

As his consciousness gradually returned, Gu Yunshen tilted his head to look at Yu Wenxue, his fingers curling slightly.

The bloody and cruel dream was gradually replaced by the lively and playful girl in front of him, whose eyes, hidden by long eyelashes, released the most extreme desires.

"What, you won't admit it?" Yu Wenxue pressed his hand down, pointing to her own neck: "Look at your masterpiece..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was enveloped in a firm embrace.

She got caught in the rain.

Gu Yun thought deeply.

The scent emanating from her made my headache feel less severe.

The candlelight stretched the intertwined shadows of the two figures infinitely long.

The rain outside the window was getting heavier, and in the dimly lit room, the sound of someone's heart pounding could not be distinguished.

Her shoulders suddenly tightened, and Yu Wenxue blinked slowly, the restlessness brought by the crabapple blossoms instantly dissipating.

His body had an abnormally high temperature, yet it inexplicably made people feel safe and comfortable. So, almost unconsciously, I shifted my body and reached out to hug him back.

It's so cool and comfortable!

It feels like eating a bite of ice-cold watermelon on a hot summer day, and it's the sweetest part in the middle.

The comfort lasted only a moment, and he soon gently pushed her away again.

Gu Yun Shen turned his face away, his voice a little hoarse: "What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to see you, so I came."

Yu Wenxue spread her hands and returned the words he had said before.

"Is that so..." Gu Yun Shen lowered his head, his smile fading slightly: "Those who lie to me never have a good ending."

"I'm not lying to you." Yu Wenxue fondly recalled the touch from earlier and leaned closer to ask, "Did you have a nightmare?"

Gu Yunshen paused for a moment: "No."

Yu Wenxue mimicked his tone from before, lowering her voice: "Those who lie to me never have a good ending."

"..."

Seeing that he didn't speak, she moved closer and said, "You've choked my neck until it's red, and you don't have anything to say?"

Gu Yun Shen then looked up and saw several shocking red marks on his fair skin.

After being caught in the rain, her hair and clothes were damp, and the color of her undergarments was faintly visible.

He looked away and said calmly, "I'm sorry."

Yu Wenxue savored the warmth of his body and suspected that he was the one who had cured her of the poison. She decided to temporarily set aside the matter of choking him and coaxed him gently, "Talking without doing is useless. Shouldn't you... take some action?"

"Hmm?" Gu Yunshen raised an eyebrow.

Yu Wenxue rubbed her hands together: "Could you... hug me again?"

Although making such a request was rude, she was truly desperate and, between feeling uncomfortable and losing face, she decisively chose the latter.

Anyway, he took the initiative first.

That's right, not at all.

Gu Yun Shen simply gazed at her quietly, his dark eyes clearly reflecting the girl's expectant gaze.

He neither accepted nor refused, but silently pulled her clothes up a little.

Yu Wenxue was slightly disappointed. She gritted her teeth and tentatively poked his hand.

No response, like a puppet.

Her cheeks gradually warmed up, so she simply covered them with her hands.

What's the point of strict separation between men and women compared to her life?

Besides, she is a modern person, and the rules of the ancients cannot bind her.

Seeing that he still didn't react, she grabbed that cold, calloused hand and pressed it against her face, even secretly rubbing it against it.

It's so cool!

Comparable to Columbus discovering the New World!

The warm, soft touch in his palm made Gu Yun Shen's fingers tremble slightly.

"You're the one who cured me, right?" Yu Wenxue felt extremely comfortable and was very satisfied with his hands. Although she was in a good mood, her mind wasn't quite right. She simply snuggled into his arms and shamelessly said, "I got injured and can't walk. You have to pay for it."

Before he could refuse, she put her arms around his waist again: "Don't tell me I injured my neck. Injuring your neck makes it difficult to breathe, you can't speak clearly, and your brain is lacking oxygen. You need to sleep well to recover."

"Aren't you afraid I'll hurt you?" Gu Yunshen said calmly.

"Can you?" Yu Wenxue blinked. "If you really want to kill me, why would you need to cure me of the poison?"

After saying that, she smiled and pulled his blanket over his stomach, saying, "You can't let your belly button get cold while you're sleeping."

Gu Yun Shen, who was being used as a human-shaped body pillow: "..."

He didn't refuse, but simply held Yu Wenxue's arm, tightening it silently, and used his inner strength to dry her clothes.

The scent emanating from her would fascinate him, drive him to the brink of madness. For the first time, he didn't want his ugly desires to frighten her.

The girl in his arms breathed softly and soon drifted off to sleep.

He lowered his head, greedily absorbing all of her.

He reached out, his fingertips gently sliding down her forehead, tracing her eyebrows, nose, and rosy lips.

The red marks on his neck were too horrifying; he wanted to touch them, but pulled back before he could.

After a long while, he dipped his fingertip in the ointment and gently applied it to her neck. Then he embraced her from behind, burying his face in her neck as if she were a lost treasure that had been found again.

She disliked the way those people looked at her; they were filthy, foolish, and constantly casting malicious lewd glances her way.

Twisted thoughts took root and sprouted in my mind.

If I make her into a sachet, can I keep her by my side forever, so she will never leave him...?

*

For several days in a row, Yu Wenxue would sneak into Gu Yunshen's tent at night.

Gu Yun Shen somehow got him some new pills. As long as he didn't get any arousal, the poison could be controlled temporarily, and sexual intercourse wasn't necessarily required.

She's lived for nineteen years and has never fallen for anyone.

The fact that the crabapple blossoms are still not fully blooming is a major concern for her. However, the hot spring water in Tianlian Mountain is not something that ordinary people can obtain. She has no choice but to rely on this human-shaped cool baby to relieve the pain.

Besides, rumors and gossip can't hurt her much. As long as she lives, everything else is irrelevant.

Most importantly, he actually didn't refuse!

Not only did he not refuse, he even offered to be her "cool baby".

The spring hunt is in full swing, and everyone seems to be very busy these days, without even having a chance to eat together.

Halfway through the fifteen-day deadline, Yu Wenxue, after squatting for half a day, finally encountered Gu Rongting by the lake.

Upon seeing her, Gu Rongting instinctively looked back, but did not see Lin Qingwan, and was slightly disappointed.

"Did my cousin come looking for me?"

Yu Wenxue nodded: "There's something I'd like to discuss with you."

Gu Rongting and Lin Qingwan's relationship is progressing too slowly. Without external stimulation, it only progresses a little bit each day. At this rate, it will take forever for her to complete the task.

Left with no other choice, she meticulously planned a romantic confession, waiting for Gu Rongting's approval before personally carrying it out.

After briefly explaining her thoughts, Yu Wenxue looked at him expectantly: "What do you think?"

Gu Rongting smiled with satisfaction: "How could I refuse when my cousin is so considerate of me?"

After saying that, he patted Yu Wenxue's head lightly from a distance and said affectionately, "Cousin, thank you."

"Without you, I really don't know what I would do."

"No problem, no problem." Yu Wenxue gave herself a thumbs up in her heart. There were still five days left until the mission deadline, so she had plenty of time to plan this confession.

After the confession, she cheered him on from the sidelines, creating the perfect atmosphere, and a kiss was the natural next step.

She's so clever!

The figure disappeared from sight, and Gu Yun Shen, who had witnessed everything, was toying with a freshly picked hibiscus flower in his hand.

The smile faded, replaced by a chilling aura.

With a "crack," the flower branch snapped due to excessive force, drooping listlessly.

Sunlight shone on his profile, the flickering light obscuring the turbulent emotions in his eyes.

He narrowed his eyes, an indescribable emotion welling up inside him.

Why can't this smile belong to him alone?

Why is she always surrounded by so many people?

It's an eyesore.

Then let him disappear.

A note from the author:

System: Critical! Critical! Critical!

Xiao Gu: Hmm?

Daughter: Where did Gu Rongting, that blockhead, offend someone again?

The author has something important to say:

I'm adding this to my pre-order list. My next book will probably be "The World-Destroying Demon's White Moonlight Has Returned" [hugs]

Yuan Ciyue transmigrated into a book, and the system wanted her to win over the world-destroying demon in the book.

Legend has it that the world-destroying demon was born with a jade-like appearance and golden features, and was incomparably handsome, but he was cruel and ruthless, a madman who killed without hesitation.

Sure enough, the first thing they saw was the ninety-eighth conqueror being carried out covered in blood.

As the ninety-ninth conqueror, she wrapped herself tightly in her blanket, disobeyed the system's instructions, and ran away.

On their escape, they encountered a handsome, wounded young man covered in blood, holding a dying cat in his arms.

Yuan Ciyue, being kind-hearted, rescued both the person and the cat.

The two ventured into the martial world together, slaying demons and monsters along the way.

The boy was extremely skilled and gentle. He not only protected her safety but also took good care of her daily needs.

In the cold winter, he would warm the bed before letting her in;

On hot summer days, he would carefully fan her to lull her to sleep.

As time went on, Yuan Ciyue felt that living with him wasn't so bad.

On the day of the wedding, I suddenly heard the system notification that I hadn't heard in a long time: "[Congratulations, host, the conquest mission is complete]".

Yuan Ciyue looked at Chi Yanzhou, who drew her eyebrows every day...

How could such a gentle and considerate husband be that tyrannical and ruthless world-destroying demon?

She didn't believe it.

After once again logging off the annoying system, Chi Yanzhou hugged her affectionately from behind and asked, "Who were you talking to just now?"

Yuan Ciyue turned around and kissed him, completely unaware of the fleeting darkness in his eyes, and smiled sweetly: "It's nothing, it's your birthday today, you should make a wish."

The boy tightened his grip on her waist: "Then let's be together for all eternity."

-

Besieged on all sides and betrayed by his family, Chi Yanzhou lay bleeding and covered in wounds.

When he was at his most miserable, Yuan Ciyue appeared and rescued him from the quagmire where he could not see the light of day.

No matter how fierce he was and how many times he forced her to leave, she remained devoted to him.

Until one day, she disappeared.

He searched frantically throughout the three realms, but could find no trace of her.

He knew she was there to seduce him, so he abandoned all his cultivation and went back to the past.

But he discovered that the people trying to win him over weren't Yuan Ciyue, but rather a series of strangers.

Wearing masks of hypocrisy, they followed some kind of instruction with the cold indifference of puppets, vying to say that they wanted to save him.

ridiculous.

After killing the so-called conqueror for the ninety-eighth time, Chi Yanzhou casually wiped the blood off his sword.

I looked up and met those familiar eyes.

But the other person didn't remember what he looked like, which annoyed him.

He knew she was the most soft-hearted, so he deliberately appeared before her covered in wounds.

As expected, she saved him.

He succeeded.

-

Having successfully completed the mission, Yuan Ciyue was forced to leave this world.

On the day I was taken away by the system, the only way back was shut down.

The surrounding area was filled with cries of despair and bloodshed.

Chi Yanzhou stepped over the crimson stain, extinguished the system that was still issuing commands, and leaned down to kiss Yuan Ciyue between the eyebrows.

"You promised that we would be together for all eternity, how can you leave me?"
