Chapter 48 Chapter 48 If Huang Xing is caught, my whole...

Lingchuan wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve as if nothing had happened, put his arms around Gu Shi's neck, and tried to seal his senses with a kiss.

She was almost like a prostitute, kissing him with all her might, her entire upper body pressed against his.

Huang Xing seemed unwilling to give up, and stood outside the window and played the song again.

Lingchuan clamped her legs around Gu Shi's waist and kissed his ear in an attempt to hide her feelings.

"Even so, you won't believe that I love you wholeheartedly?"

Gu Shi's face flushed slightly due to physiological reaction. He replied indifferently:

"What you are doing to me now has nothing to do with love."

Lingchuan was furious, and afraid that he would notice the flute sound outside the window, so he had to continue to stick to him and kiss him hard.

She entwined her neck with his and her legs with his.

"How is this not love? If I didn't love you, why would I treat you like this?"

Finally, the flute sound stopped, Lingchuan breathed a sigh of relief and let go of Gu Shi.

He lay on his side with his back facing Lingchuan. He didn't want to see her eyes, hear her voice, or have any desire for her.

At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind, which was to get rid of Lingchuan.

As long as she completely disappears from this world, all problems will completely disappear.

He hated himself deeply. He was just smug and determined, but in the blink of an eye he indulged in stupid and cowardly emotions.

Lingchuan made him feel very incompetent.

He turned around, and the lines of Lingchuan's sleeves spread down from her round shoulders, and a small piece of roundness that was trying to be concealed could be seen through her collar.

She lay on her side comfortably, and a strange flute sound kept ringing. Lingchuan suddenly shrugged and became nervous, and the muscles in her arms contracted together.

Gu Shi's eyes keenly caught the clues of her uneasiness. What was she afraid of?

Lingchuan turned around hurriedly, her lips trembled, and she leaned forward and continued to kiss him without any reason.

Gu Shi took advantage of the situation and put his arm around her waist, holding her against him and feeling her heartbeat with his hands.

"What are you nervous about?"

He frowned and asked in a low voice.

"Why did you rush over to make out with me when the flute sounded?"

This sound was like a thunderclap to Lingchuan's ears. Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated uncontrollably, and the violent throbbing came from the palm of his hand.

Gu Shi thought, Lingchuan is still alive, this is the evidence.

He placed his fingers on her lips with a hint of threat, rubbing them for a while, then gently groping for her teeth between her lips, and finally pried her teeth open and inserted his fingers into her mouth.

"Why?"

Lingchuan swallowed nervously, and his heartbeat suddenly quickened.

His fingers were very thick and they poked her teeth, and she felt like she was holding something hard.

"Lingchuan, what on earth are you hiding from me?"

He pressed down on her and bit her neck gently.

"Hurry up and tell me."

Gu Shi bit the tip of her nose, making his threat even stronger.

"Nothing... just... just... want to be intimate with you."

Gu Shi sighed.

"You simply don't tell a single word of truth! Lingchuan, are you betting that I will turn a blind eye to you?"

He pulled the belt off and put it behind her neck. The jade-colored belt was deftly wrapped around her neck and tied into a knot.

He simply tied the other end of the belt to the head of the bed.

A jade-colored belt lay across her fair neck, dividing her into two people.

Above the belt, there is a pretty and beautiful face, while below the belt... the clothes are being taken off bit by bit.

I feel like... like a tied up...

The humiliation made Lingchuan's face flush red, and she cursed:

"You're being crazy and suspicious of me again! Let me go! I won't be humiliated like this for your amusement."

"Am I suspicious of you for no reason? Then I'll send someone to capture the flute player outside, torture him, and give him a thorough trial. What do you say?"

Lingchuan instantly wilted. He blinked his eyes and looked at Gu Shi begging for mercy.

He pinched her inner thigh impatiently.

"You're useless... You can't even cover up such a lie."

Lingchuan's cheeks flushed red, and shame, tension, and fear mixed together, making her heart beat rapidly.

What to do…If Huang Xing is caught, his entire plan will be exposed.

"If you behave better, I'll let you go and not bother with you for now."

Things have come to this point. The more he smears himself, the more wrong he is. Lingchuan can only grit his teeth and let Gu Shi mess with him.

Gu Shi suddenly felt that it was not completely without benefits for Lingchuan to hide something from him. This way, she would owe him something, which would make it convenient for him to get it back from her at any time.

The flute sounded outside the window again, and Gu Shi reached out to lift Lingchuan's chin in a vicious manner. She felt ashamed and helpless.

The undershirt was still hanging loosely on her body, and she kept pulling her hands back into her sleeves. Gu Shi reached into her sleeves and forcibly pulled her fingers out.

The feeling of having their fingers entangled made Gu Shi a little annoyed, so he simply grasped her entire palm tightly in his hand, almost crushing her bones.

The almost brutal force continued to increase. Gu Shi saw crystal tears flashing in her eyes, and a dark sense of satisfaction surged in his heart.

He wanted to get back everything she owed him.

Huang Xing still played the flute outside without giving up. The sound of the flute mixed with the low chirping of cicadas lingered faintly in the air.

"Finally I found you... Where do you work? Do you know where this is? Sorry to have disturbed your rest?"

Qingye suddenly walked out from the end of the path, with a serious expression, and questioned Huang Xing.

Huang Xing was sitting in a secluded pavilion, blinking at her gently and whispering:

"Sorry, I'll be back soon."

"Stop, don't go away. What's your name? Where do you work?"

Aoba blocked her way.

Huang Xing took off the silver bracelet on her wrist and handed it to Qingye, shedding two lines of tears and said:

"I'm just feeling down, and I came here to play the flute to relieve my boredom. Please don't pursue this matter, sister... If I tell Aunt, I'm afraid I'll be beaten and scolded at best, or worse..."

She cried softly, and Qingye put his hands behind his back and said with pursed lips.

"You're just relying on your looks to climb the social ladder. You're lucky to have met me today. Don't do it again. Don't let me hear such vulgar things again."

Huang Xing nodded, hurried away, turned her back, and instantly put on a cold expression, no longer looking pitiful.

She clenched her sleeves, walked to the water's edge, dipped the letter in her sleeves into the water, crushed it hard, and buried it in the soil.

We have to go back quickly.

The next day, Lingchuan woke up at four in the morning and couldn't fall asleep again.

Gu Shi was sleeping beside her. She looked at him with a pale face, knowing that most of her plan had been exposed. Now she could only delay until the agreed day. Once she took the fake death drug, everything would be fine - or just die.

She looked at Gu Shi's handsome profile, covered her chest, and gasped for breath.

Her body was already a little weak as the fever had just subsided, but in order to dispel Gu Shi's anger last night, she could only cooperate reluctantly.

I didn’t sleep well today. I feel dizzy, my heart is pounding, and my waist is slightly sore.

She had very poor flexibility to begin with, and she felt a twitching pain in the tendon on the inside of her thigh.

Forget it, she could only pray that Gu Shi would really calm down and stop bothering her... She lay down weakly, coughed a few times, and still felt very uncomfortable.

If this continues, he might actually die before taking the death-faking drug... Lingchuan complained in his heart.

Thinking of the culprit beside him, Lingchuan bit Gu Shi's ear in dissatisfaction, waking him up.

"What are you doing... disturbing my sleep..."

Gu Shi hummed reluctantly twice and gently pushed Lingchuan.

"I'm not feeling well... I've just gotten a little better, and you treat me like this..."

Lingchuan leaned over and complained in his ear.

"If you feel uncomfortable, go call a female doctor yourself. Why are you biting me?"

Gu Shi was a little impatient.

"It's all your fault. If I don't bite you, do I have to chase the female doctor and bite her?"

Lingchuan said this with a confident tone.

She stretched out her hand and pulled Gu Shi, saying:

"Get up now, don't sleep, you've wronged me."

When Gu Shi heard this, he perked up, opened his eyes, hugged Lingchuan and asked:

"Tell me, how did I wrong you?"

"The concubine who played the flute last night is from the same hometown as me, so she knows a few of my hometown's folk songs. I specifically asked her to come over at night and play my hometown's lullaby outside the window."

"Then why don't you just ask her to come in and blow openly?"

"You don't know, this kind of music is only moving when heard subtly. If it's heard openly, it's meaningless."

Lingchuan waved his hand, Gu Shi sneered and continued to ask:

"Since she is just an ordinary palace maid, why don't you dare let me discover her?"

"Because she's so beautiful, I'd be jealous. I was afraid you'd fall in love with the sound of the flute, so I went out to meet her, and I fell in love with her at first sight. Besides, I actually found the way you were yesterday quite exciting, so I deliberately went along with it."

Lingchuan supported his chin with his hand, as if he was holding his breath, and blurted out all the lies he had made up last night in one breath, without any flaws.

Hearing Lingchuan speak so directly, Gu Shi's face turned red...

"If you don't like her, I won't look at her. Why do you think I'm that kind of person? When have I ever done anything so promiscuous?"

Lingchuan smiled sweetly, put his arms around his neck and kissed him.

"That's all right."

She breathed a sigh of relief. Gu Shi must have believed it, at least temporarily. She felt that her lie was perfect, without any flaws.

Gu Shi hugged Lingchuan. He really wanted to believe that Lingchuan really loved him, and all those sweet words were true. His abnormal behavior last night was just because of jealousy.

But can he really believe it?
