Chapter 16 I care about you and I like you
Yu Wenxue pressed her chest, her collar crumpled from being rubbed.
If I don't move, it's fine, but once I start moving, that throbbing feeling gets even stronger.
The unfamiliar danger made her instinctively step back, and as her back hit the tree trunk, a pair of well-defined hands cushioned her fall.
The boy's chilling aura drew closer, and she instinctively folded her hands in front of her chest. Whether it was from holding her breath or from fear, her face was burning hot, as if it were being baked by the sun.
So she pretended to step on his foot casually, but actually deliberately, and mouthed to him in surprise: "Excuse me."
Gu Yun Shen smiled, his long, raven-feather-like eyelashes drooping, casting a shadow.
He bent down, showing no intention of backing away, his fingers twirling her smooth, long hair.
Yu Wenxue shifted her body, stealing glances at him every now and then.
This distance exceeded the safe zone they had previously been in contact with, and a strange feeling arose spontaneously.
It looked like they were about to kiss each other.
Immediately afterwards, someone tapped my forehead, interrupting my wandering thoughts.
"Is it really that good-looking?" Gu Yunshen whispered.
"Well, it's alright." Yu Wenxue covered her forehead, which had been injured, and when she saw him take a step back, she quickly tugged at her wrinkled collar and looked back.
The two figures from before were now revealed in the moonlight.
If I'm not mistaken, it should be Gu Huaisheng.
As for the person next to him...
“That crazy woman has been up to something lately, watching me like I’m a thief. Jiang Lian’er has disappeared and the plan has failed, she’s so anxious that she’s given me time to look for my sister-in-law.”
Sister-in-law.
It's my sister-in-law again...
Upon hearing this, Yu Wenxue's eyes widened, and she instantly lost all composure. Driven by intense curiosity, she squatted down and brazenly began eavesdropping.
The young woman standing opposite Gu Huaisheng took off her veil and said coquettishly, "Didn't you promise me that you would persuade the old lady to agree to the matter of inheriting the family line?"
"And what's the result? There's been absolutely no progress. I'm stuck in a dilemma with the Gu family, and I can only sneak out of the house!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Huaisheng quickly comforted him, "How was I supposed to know that my elder brother is such a blockhead, only wanting to marry the Lin family's daughter? My grandmother has tried to test him several times without success, and now she's trying to sow discord between him and Lin Qingwan."
“I don’t know which bastard dared to ride his horse recklessly in the street, causing me to break an arm. It’s been inconvenient for me to visit you these days.”
"Sister-in-law, Yun'er..."
Upon hearing Lin Qingwan's name, Yu Wenxue immediately perked up her ears and moved forward to hear it more clearly.
Her collar was grabbed and pulled back slightly. She lowered her voice and winked at Gu Yun Shen, asking, "Why are you stopping me?"
"Are you afraid they won't see you if you go any further?"
Yu Wenxue looked down and saw that her shadow looked like a giant Angora rabbit, a truly enormous creature.
The events of that day at the Lin residence flashed through her mind again, and her grape-like eyes darted back to Gu Yun Shen.
It seems only he could break someone's arm.
They even toned it down.
Thinking of this, she obediently shuffled back with small steps and asked, "Do you know that girl?"
Gu Yunshen twirled the fingers that had touched her skin and said, "Luo Yun, the wife of Gu Huaisheng's twin brother."
"So your Gu family has four sons?"
Yu Wenxue expressed surprise, after all, the book only mentioned three young masters, and she didn't expect a third one to suddenly appear. "Where is he?"
"Dead."
Gu Yunshen stated nonchalantly, "He drowned while fishing three months ago."
That's really bad luck.
Yu Wenxue thought.
Looking at Gu Huaisheng, not long after his brother's death, he went to seduce his sister-in-law and even tried to use her to frame Lin Qingwan.
Compared to Gu Yun Shen, this guy is clearly more like the villain.
After much coaxing, Gu Huaisheng finally calmed Luo Yun down. After a while, she nestled in his arms and said, "Princess, you probably don't know that Jiang Lian'er is one of our people, right?"
"Don't worry, she doesn't know. She just didn't expect Jiang Lian'er to be so useless, failing twice in her missions and letting Gu Rongting escape with his life. This drugging plan also failed. She's probably too ashamed to come back to see me. I haven't seen her all day."
Gu Huaisheng thought bitterly, "If Gu Rongting really marries Lin Qingwan, the Lin family will never agree to you entering the family."
"What if it's Lin Qingwan who gets into trouble?" A sly glint flashed in Luo Yun's eyes. "Since it's difficult to target Gu Rongting, let's start with Lin Qingwan. She's a weak woman; wouldn't she be much easier to manipulate?"
"Yun'er, you're so thoughtful." With her warm, soft body in his arms, Gu Huaisheng could no longer resist kissing her, lowering his head to kiss her red lips...
There was a rustling sound in the grass, but it quickly stopped.
Gu Yun Shen closed his eyes to rest, ignoring the erotic scene, while Yu Wen Xue darted around him, muttering something under her breath.
He couldn't hear clearly and felt only agitated.
Opening her eyes, the girl squatted on the ground and drew two circles with a wooden stick.
"How wicked! How could people be so evil! I'm going to draw a circle and curse you all!"
Not only did they want to harm Gu Rongting, but they also wanted to harm Lin Qingwan, all for the sake of the so-called continuation of the family line?
If you're so capable, why don't you go and take the throne yourself!
Yu Wenxue grew angrier the more she thought about it, so she wrote their names on the ground and stomped on them several times.
Gu Yun Shen lazily opened his eyes: "You care about him."
It is a statement, not a question.
Yu Wenxue said, "I consider Miss Lin a close friend, and of course I don't want her to be harmed by thieves."
"You like Gu Rongting."
I don't like him.
"You like..."
"I like you, okay?" Yu Wenxue got up and touched his forehead, wanting to see if he had a fever.
He had already denied it last time, so what kind of twisted logic led him astray again, and the things he said were completely inexplicable.
Yu Wenxue rattled off a string of words: "I don't like him, I only like you, I like you to death, I like you so much that I won't let you go even if I become a ghost, I'll still be haunting you in my next life."
After saying that, she spread her hands, giving me a look that said, "What can you do to me?"
Gu Yun Shen was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "You're joking again." He took out something that looked like a candy wrapper from his pocket and said, "In that case, do you still want me to feed you?"
Yu Wenxue raised her hand: "Don't bother with such a small thing, I can do it myself."
As soon as she reached out, Gu Yun Shen raised his arm even higher.
"Lower yourself, I can't reach it."
"Oh, okay." Gu Yun Shen's brows relaxed, and he tilted his head to look at her, revealing a hint of boyishness: "And now?"
Yu Wenxue watched as the antidote rose higher and higher...
She remembered the words she had used to coax him last time, and how he seemed to really enjoy being praised, so she quickly flattered him, saying, "Young Master Gu, who is as handsome as a flower, could you... lower your head a little more?"
Gu Yunshen smiled and said, "You said you didn't want me to feed you, and that you would get it yourself."
"Then I must be able to get it too..." Yu Wenxue gritted her teeth slightly, thinking to herself that this person was definitely teasing her on purpose.
“I almost forgot, you can’t reach it.” Gu Yun Shen lowered his arm and stared at her: “But I never do business at a loss.”
"How about we make an exchange?"
Yu Wenxue tentatively asked, "What kind of exchange?"
Surely they wouldn't want her, would they?
"I have a headache, please make me a soothing sachet."
He's come to terms with it these days; it's not that her sachet is useful.
Rather, it's because she's useful.
He's not a patient person; he'll work hard to get whatever he wants.
"But I don't know how to make sachets. What kind do you want? Can I buy you one?"
Yu Wenxue thought about her clumsy needlework and felt ashamed.
Where did she learn these things?
Gu Yunshen looked at her and said, "I'm afraid you can't buy this."
"With the sachet, my headaches are much better, and my mood is also better."
“If I’m in a better mood, I might not like killing anymore, otherwise…” His fingers rested on the sword, and Yu Wenxue’s eyelids twitched. She replied, “I’ll make one, I’ll make you a sachet.”
It's just needlework! Take a needle, thread it, and poke around in the fabric. It shouldn't be a big problem.
If making a sachet could make him happy and thus stop targeting Gu Rongting, she wouldn't care even if her fingers were pricked with needles.
"I agree, so can you give it to me now?"
Gu Yun Shen was in a great mood and handed the things to her.
Yu Wenxue quickly took it and ate it. It didn't taste bitter like medicine; instead, it had a refreshing sweetness.
She asked suspiciously, "Has the formula for this medicine been changed?"
“This is maltose.” Gu Yun Shen was not surprised by her reaction at all, and curled his eyelashes: “When did I say that this was an antidote?”
"You!" Yu Wenxue didn't dare argue with him, turning into a coward, and lightly tugged at his sleeve: "Beautiful and kind-hearted Second Young Master..."
"You haven't been poisoned yet; you just need some external force to expel the toxins," Gu Yunshen said. "If you want to completely detoxify..."
"Too weak. First, take a horse stance, then run two laps."
Is this correct?
Yu Wenxue, adopting a sour tone, pleaded, "Is there any other way?"
"Yes, I do." Gu Yun Shen glanced at her with a half-smile: "If you want to have sex with someone, I'll reluctantly agree..."
"stop!"
Yu Wenxue felt a chill run down her spine: "I'll do it, I'll do it."
Gu Yunshen said with satisfaction, "Then let's begin."
A note from the author:
Girl: I love you to death! (Death smile)
Xiao Gu: I understand. (Calm on the surface, but secretly thrilled)
