Chapter 71 Kiss

Gu Jinyu ultimately failed to defeat Gu Yan.

Although she was the only daughter in the family, Gu Yan was the youngest, and Gu Yan was indeed in poor health.

Watching Gu Jinyu reluctantly let someone take the little rabbit away, Gu Yan raised an eyebrow triumphantly, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

Gu Yan was a loner from a young age. He didn't get close to anyone, including Yao Shi, but he would allow Yao Shi to get close to him.

He rejected anyone who was kind to Gu Jinyu, yet almost no one in the entire household was unkind to Gu Jinyu.

Lord Gu always thought it was his son's fault, never realizing that the most important person in his son's life had disappeared, and that his son was the one who was most hurt.

However, even if he thought his son was wrong, he never blamed him. Instead, he would make up for the grievances Jin Yu suffered in private.

But Jin Yu's grievances can be made up for, but what about her son's?

What they can't give their son, could that child possibly give?

After Gu Jiao descended the mountain, she didn't rush home. Instead, she carried the wolf to the market and sold it for eighteen taels of silver.

Afterwards, Gu Jiao went to the academy to pick up Xiao Liulang and Gu Xiaoshun after school, and the three of them returned to the village together.

The old lady, who had been bothered by Xiao Jingkong all day, was finally free.

She slumped on the wicker chair like a salted fish, completely exhausted. She felt that if the two of them didn't come back soon, she might just collapse on the spot!

Xiao Jingkong spent the whole day hoping for Gu Jiao, but as soon as Gu Jiao came back, he ran away again.

A person closed the door, sat on a small stool in the corner, their face pressed against the wall, looking as pitiful as could be.

Gu Jiao didn't understand what had happened, and was somewhat surprised not to see Xiao Jingkong: "Huh? Where's Jingkong?"

The old lady pointed weakly to the west room: "She's angry and avoiding you."

Gu Jiao hummed in confusion, "Angry? Who upset him?"

The old lady glared at Gu Jiao and Xiao Liulang, annoyed. "You two! Who told you to carry him over in the middle of the night? Who told you to leave before dawn?"

The first sentence is about Xiao Liulang, and the second sentence is about Gu Jiao.

"I'm exhausted!" The old lady said, indicating she didn't want to talk to the couple anymore.

Gu Jiao didn't understand at first, but after the old lady explained it, she understood.

Gu Jiao went to the west room.

When Xiao Jingkong heard someone coming, he perked up his ears but didn't turn around.

Gu Jiao came up behind him, bent down, and looked at his profile, saying, "Are you angry with me?"

Xiao Jingkong turned around on the stool, continuing to face away from Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao said softly, "I didn't mean to. I didn't know you would be scared."

Xiao Jingkong couldn't hold back any longer and blurted out, "I'm not scared! I'm not that timid!"

Gu Jiao feigned surprise: "Really? Then why are you angry?"

"I...I...I...I was..." Xiao Jingkong stammered for a long time, unable to utter the words "I miss you".

Gu Jiao came to him again. He lowered his eyes and didn't look at Gu Jiao, but Gu Jiao looked at him steadily: "Okay, I was wrong today. I apologize to you. Can you forgive me?"

Xiao Jingkong glanced at Gu Jiao quickly, then lowered his head, clutching the hem of his clothes, and said in a soft, cute voice, "I need a kiss to forgive you."

Gu Jiaoxin was completely charmed. What an absolute cutie! She would give her ten kisses, let alone one!

Without hesitation, Gu Jiao kissed his little face!

Xiao Jingkong was dumbfounded!

He stared at Gu Jiao for several seconds with his big, dark, grape-like eyes wide open, and finally, he cried out!

"ah!"

They just said it casually, but you're really being affectionate!

Little Jingkong covered her face with her little hands and ran away shyly!

Little Jingkong, who had just received a kiss, seemed to have been drinking all night, his little face turning bright red.

During the meal, he sat next to Gu Jiao, behaving as obediently as a little mimosa.

As usual, Xiao Liulang gave him a bath that night. He sat in the small tub and offered his left cheek, saying, "Washing this side is enough, don't wash that side, there's a kiss there!"

Xiao Liulang expressionlessly grabbed a towel from the basin and slapped it onto his right cheek with a smack.

Xiao Jingkong: "..."

Xiao Jingkong: "!!!"

"Waaah—"

Suddenly, Xiao Jingkong's heart-wrenching cries came from the kitchen. The old lady, who was secretly eating candied fruit inside, was so frightened that she almost lost her life!

The old woman exploded in anger, roaring, "Liu Lang! What did you do to him again?!"

Xiao Liulang did nothing but wash the kisses off a certain little monk's face.

Little Jingkong cried so miserably.

Finally, Gu Jiao came over and gave him another kiss, which finally stopped his tears.

After that, Xiao Jingkong became very careful, constantly covering her face with her little hands to prevent her bad brother-in-law from attacking her.

He has no hair, and he can go to sleep after taking a shower and getting dressed.

He hugged his little pillow, first went to the old lady's room to say hello, then went to Gu Jiao's room to say hello: "Jiao Jiao, I'm going to sleep now, see you tomorrow."

Gu Jiao moved his little bald head: "Go to sleep, I'll wake you up tomorrow morning."

"Okay!" Little Jingkong skipped back to the west room.

He took off his shoes and slid onto the bed.

Xiao Liulang was sitting at his desk copying a book.

Xiao Jingkong glanced warily at his bad brother-in-law, then moved his small pillow further away from his brother-in-law's pillow!

Xiao Liulang didn't even lift his eyelids, only letting out a faint chuckle.

Little Jingkong put his hands on his hips and said, "Don't even think about touching my darling!"

Xiao Liulang raised an eyebrow: "Your darling?"

Xiao Jingkong said smugly, "Jiaojiao gave it to me! You didn't have one!"

Xiao Liulang slowly looked over at him, his gaze falling on his chubby little face, and said unhurriedly, "I don't need to do anything. They will fly away on their own once you fall asleep."

Xiao Jingkong's expression changed instantly!

He could almost see the cruel scene of his two beloved lovers abandoning him when he wasn't paying attention, and he felt terrible!

Those two little traitors!

After a three-second shock, Xiao Jingkong jumped off the bed and ran to Gu Jiao's room, where she asked Gu Jiao for a veil to wrap around her face and head.

He wrapped himself up tightly, looking just like a peasant woman going to work in the fields.

Then, carrying a standard farmer's pocket, he strode back into the house with a proud air.

Little Jingkong raised his chin and said to his wicked brother-in-law, "I'm stumped! They can't fly away!"

Little Jingkong is a very smart child. Although he is only three years old, he knows more characters than his fellow monks in the temple. While the other young monks are struggling with how to read the scriptures, he can already recite them fluently.

So when he once said to Xiao Liulang, "I always get first place in exams, I'm used to it," it wasn't bragging, but simply stating an objective fact.

He has his own complete logic, which is not disturbed by anyone. His fellow disciples can't argue with him, and even the abbot can't beat him. He is actually a very troublesome person in the temple.

It was only when he met Xiao Liulang that he was occasionally led astray.

However, his logic remains incredibly powerful, so no matter how Xiao Liulang tries to interfere with him, he always finds his own solution.

Xiao Liulang said, "What's the use of covering them up? If you take off your veil tomorrow, they will still fly away."

Xiao Jingkong said, "No, I've planted them! They'll sprout tomorrow morning! They won't be able to leave me from now on!"

Years later, the divine general recalled his embarrassing childhood memories—

Ugh! How embarrassing!!!
