Chapter 247
only.
Not to mention that I hadn't met Gu Zhongtai before, even when I met Fan Xiaoxiao, I didn't have the guts to hand it over to her properly.
But tonight is different.
It's snowing outside.
Even the candlelight in the pavilion where we took shelter from the rain was gentle.
And with a bit of alcohol on his side.
Fan Xiaoxiao mustered her courage, took the item out, stood up, and stuffed it into his arms.
The movements were fluid and executed in one smooth motion.
"Phew—" The girl breathed a sigh of relief after everything that happened last night. Her expression betrayed her unease.
"Look, do you like it?"
She seemed a little insecure: "If you don't like it... just throw it away."
Gu Zhongtai was actually flattered, but his pride wouldn't allow him to show it too much.
He covered his lips with his palm, placed his index finger on the tip of his nose, and glanced quickly at the little girl.
She chuckled softly, "It's alright."
Actually, my hands were clenched very tightly.
When he lowered his eyes, he scrutinized the person carefully and clearly.
The stitching on the sachet was really not very good.
Perhaps because of the rush, there was only one very rough pale yellow flower.
Four characters were embroidered crookedly on a dark blue background.
"Why wouldn't I be happy?"
Now that I have seen you, how could I not be happy?
Now that I have seen you, my lord, why should I not return?
These mere four words actually contain the most tender and affectionate feelings.
Gu Zhongtai was startled, and then the white feathers, which seemed to be formed from countless thoughts, gently stirred the soft depths of his heart.
So during the days he was away.
She actually...
Was I thinking about him even a little bit?
Why don't you return...?
Did she also hope he would appear so she could see him?
Gu Zhongtai lost his composure, grabbed the wine jar, tilted his head back, and gulped down two large mouthfuls.
"Hey!" It's true that Fan Xiaoxiao likes him, but she doesn't have as many or as explicit things in his mind as he imagines.
Haven't you heard that wine should be sipped slowly?!
So, why are you drinking so hastily now? Are you planning to get completely drunk?
"Boss Gu! What's going on?! Nobody's going to take it from you! Please drink slowly!"
...
...
The next morning.
The snow has stopped.
The sun shone brightly during the day.
The melting snow was even colder than the previous two days, chilling to the bone.
When Gu Zhongtai woke up, the window was half open.
It's warm inside.
When he sat up, he felt his head was heavy and painful.
The room smells nice; it's not where I usually stay.
He was startled at first, then quickly recalled something from his limited memory: he had been drinking yesterday.
And to be able to drink to the point of blacking out means you must have drunk quite a lot.
What he didn't know was that the wine that Fan Xiaoxiao had specially buried was not beer or ordinary rice wine.
It is a high-proof spirit produced through distillation.
Even with the added sweetness of osmanthus, it's still not the same as the ancients who would drink 100,000 bowls of osmanthus at any time!
Yes.
When Gu Zhongtai thought of Fan Xiaoxiao's face, he couldn't help but feel relieved.
If I'm with her, then I don't need to worry about safety.
But the next second, he saw that he had already changed his clothes.
And then, connecting this to the "boudoir"...
"..."
Just then, Fan Xiaoxiao came in from outside.
She was holding charcoal in her arms.
The first thing I noticed was the man sitting on the bed.
Smiling, she said, "You're awake? Why were you so quiet? I was telling you you were going to sleep for a while longer."
After saying that, he put down the charcoal brazier, frowned, rubbed his waist, and mercilessly complained, "Tsk, you really went all out last night!"
"If you didn't know, you might think you hated me to the core."
"Please, please don't do this again next time."
"I feel like I'm falling apart."
Gu Zhongtai looked utterly shocked, his eyes revealing a complex and fascinating array of emotions: "..."
He remained silent for a long time until Fan Xiaoxiao walked up to him and shook her small white hand with a puzzled look: "What's wrong? Boss? Are you still asleep?"
"Do you want to go back to sleep?"
Fan Xiaoxiao was somewhat unsure.
After all, although Gu Zhongtai is a very gentle person, she doesn't always see the big boss sleeping, does she? Who knows if there are any strange or unusual settings in the villainous BOSS's character design.
For example, being grumpy when you wake up.
Did I disturb your sleep?
She asked hesitantly.
“No…” Gu Zhongtai said this word and suddenly grabbed Fan Xiaoxiao’s hand.
The girl was so startled that she quickly tried to pull away, saying, "No! My hands are cold!"
I just touched some charcoal; it was black.
It's black!!!
Gu Zhongtai's face was a little pale, and he was also a little flustered: "Xiaoxiao!"
"Uh-huh??"
"I'll take responsibility for you." He pursed his lips, glancing down at her waist as she rubbed it. "I mean, next time... I'll definitely be gentler. I was drunk last night... probably..."
Gu Zhongtai couldn't remember what he had done at all.
But think about it, what if the other party was Fan Xiaoxiao?
A surge of warmth welled up in my heart.
Deep down, there seems to be a sweet feeling.
Fan Xiaoxiao was completely dumbfounded: "Wait, wait a minute."
She blinked several times, trying to figure out exactly what she had just heard.
In the end, everything was confirmed.
"Um...you must have misunderstood something."
"Hmm?" Gu Zhongtai paused for a moment: "Didn't I...do that...with you last night, Xiaoxiao...?"
Fan Xiaoxiao immediately flung his hand away, furious: "That's right! You did do a lot of outrageous things!"
The girl put her hands on her hips and began to criticize one thing at a time: "Ah! Boss Gu, you drink, fine, but you also sent Xiao Hei back to rest."
"They keep feeding me, and I can't stop them no matter what I say. It's absolutely infuriating!!"
She was furious: "Tell me how old you are? How much do you weigh?!"
"Dad's back is about to break from dragging you back from outside! Do you know how hard it was for me?!" Just thinking about it made her want to spit blood in his face!
Gu Zhongtai was stunned, his confidence waning as he said, "I'm sorry."
He remembered something and pointed to himself: "Then my clothes... why did I change my clothes?"
"You still dare to talk back!" Fan Xiaoxiao plopped down on the edge of the bed in anger, rubbing her forehead. "Drinking is one thing, but drinking so fast and so quickly!"
"I poured all my heart and soul into brewing this fine wine, and a lot of it spilled into my clothes."
"If I don't change it for you, do you think I'll let you freeze to death?"
"I'll never take you drinking again."
"..." Gu Zhongtai touched his temples, which were throbbing slightly, as he listened to what Fan Xiaoxiao was saying.
Fragments of last night finally surfaced in my mind.
Then……
He regrets it now, he regrets it very much.
He remembered hugging Yu Cheng's shoulders and saying that he liked Xiao Xiao, and that he told people not to tell her.
He also said many things that were incredibly embarrassing.
In short, General Yu could not possibly have been there when we were drinking yesterday.
So it goes without saying who he is calling his brother.
But that's just how people are; they always have unrealistic fantasies about the unknown.
He blurted out, "So, General Yu yesterday was...?"
"It's me." Fan Xiaoxiao's eyebrows furrowed. "What do you remember?"
“…No.” He said with difficulty.
The girl snorted, "You have no conscience."
"You just said you'd take responsibility, but you threw up all over the place yesterday!"
