Chapter 52 Eating meat, a gentle kiss landed on his lips
His lips look very kissable, and they actually are very kissable. I wonder what it feels like to kiss other parts of his body.
I remember reading a report online about a rare mental illness called "Heartbreak Syndrome".
Once a sensitive point is triggered, feelings of sadness will arise, such as loneliness, frustration, or thoughts of loved ones... and so on.
As for why she felt sad, she didn't know, since she had never experienced it herself, which made her even more interested in the feeling.
He's so delicate... would he?
Yu Wenxue felt a shy flutter in her heart.
Feeling the softness in his arms shift, and feeling the emptiness in his palms, Gu Yun Shen slowly opened his eyes. His gaze shifted again, meeting Yu Wen Xue's eyes.
"Why aren't you sleeping?"
"I'm a little dizzy, probably from sleeping too much." Yu Wenxue pretended to have a headache, cried out "Ouch!" twice, slipped, and fell towards his chest.
This action was deliberate, but she believed in trying anything, so she gritted her teeth and did it anyway.
My nose bumped against his collarbone, so hard it almost broke the bridge of my nose. I gritted my teeth and took the opportunity to press my nose against his.
Soft lips, ready to ignite at any moment, yet...
There was no response.
The kiss was biased.
Gu Yunshen awkwardly straightened her head, his fingers pressing against Yu Wenxue's shoulder as she leaned against him. He narrowed his eyes and said, "If you're not feeling well, why don't you just go to sleep?"
"I have a headache and can't sleep," Yu Wenxue said obediently.
Gu Yun Shen pointed to her chest: "Has anyone taught you how to keep your heart from beating so fast when you lie?"
"Is there?"
She was hiding it so well, how could she have been found out?
Gu Yun Shen's smile remained unchanged: "Then how about I try to make you feel pain in a different way, to distract you?"
"I'm going to sleep now."
Although she didn't know what he meant by "changing the way of pain," Yu Wenxue reluctantly crawled back into bed, deciding to wait until he fell asleep before continuing.
Good things come to those who wait; as long as you're willing to put in the effort, you'll eventually get to eat meat.
No, what do you mean by eating meat? What kind of meat are you eating...?
Her cheeks began to feel slightly hot again, fearing that the suppressed poison would relapse. Yu Wenxue closed her eyes and began to count sheep.
Unexpectedly, this sleep led to me falling asleep first.
When she woke up, Wen Yu was already by her side, and the little white cat's eyes were wide open like copper bells as it affectionately kneaded her belly.
Yu Wenxue stood in front of the bronze mirror and practiced a set of dance moves, giving herself a pep talk: "It's okay, there are still two months left. I refuse to believe I can't succeed!"
At the end of May, the weather was fine and sunny.
Tianlian Mountain is located in the northwest of Dayong, right next to the northernmost border. It is surrounded by towering peaks and strange rocks, and has a cold winter climate all year round.
Despite the extreme environment, there is a natural hot spring at the foot of the mountain. Because the spring water has miraculous effects and the mountain is high and the road is far, almost no one except leisurely members of the royal family would set foot there.
Yu Wenxue sat in the carriage, looking out the window with boredom. "I should have brought Wenyu, Xiaobai, and Xiaohuang with me."
Xiaobai and Xiaohuang were a pair of rabbits she gave to Gu Yunshen.
In order to select two animals that met his requirements, Yu Wenxue wandered around the streets for several days, picking and choosing, and finally settled on these two.
However, after bringing it back, Gu Yun Shen only glanced at it symbolically before throwing it into the cage.
Yu Wenxue asked him to name them, and after thinking for a while, he named them according to their colors and patterns.
Little White and Little Yellow became the new members of this family.
Yu Wenxue silently grumbled to herself: "He just said he wanted to play with rabbits last time, and he's already forgotten about it after only a few days. Sure enough, a man's heart is so fickle..."
Gu Yun Shen fed her a cherry, his smile playful: "Are you really going to go to Longxi looking like this?"
"I'm doing this for your own good, to prevent you from getting hurt." Yu Wenxue opened her mouth: "One more."
However, it's no wonder Gu Yun Shen misunderstood; who goes out with their hands tied?
Not everyone is as smart as her.
Yu Wenxue blushed slightly, a hint of excitement creeping in: "Did you go to great lengths to find an opportunity to bring me out to play?"
Gu Yunshen thought for a moment: "No, not really."
"Military personnel may bring one family member with them."
"I see." Yu Wenxue understood, but vaguely felt something was off, and asked again, "So I'm your cousin now?"
Gu Yunshen said meaningfully, "You called me cousin?"
"That's true. Your cousin is only that idiot Gu Rongting. In a way, you two are quite like siblings."
"I'll take that as a compliment to my apparent wisdom," Yu Wenxue pouted, her greatest talent being self-consolation.
Suddenly realizing what Lin Qingwan had said last time, he stammered, "Could it be that you... I... am, am..."
"Husband and wife." Gu Yun Shen said without changing his expression, "Many people in the court are watching me, so this trip was a secret trip, and I used a false identity. In order to make it easier to adapt as soon as possible, I hope you can correct your behavior from now on."
Yu Wenxue asked suspiciously, "My hands are tied up, what can I possibly do?"
“For example, a wife cannot dodge when her husband is near her.” After saying this, Gu Yun Shen leaned slightly closer to her.
The two drew closer and closer, so close that the small mole at the corner of his eye came straight into her line of sight.
Yu Wenxue swallowed hard, her voice hoarse as she spoke, "I understand."
"Also, when going out, always hold hands to avoid arousing suspicion."
"Okay." Yu Wenxue nodded, her voice trailing off, "However, I still feel like you're lying to me."
Gu Yun Shen smiled and looked down, but didn't look at her: "Do you think I'm such a boring person?"
"Not really, you wouldn't waste your energy on unimportant things," Yu Wenxue muttered to herself, convincing herself for the nth time.
"So what should you call me now?" Gu Yun Shen asked with a smile, but his slightly red ear tips betrayed his nervousness.
What will her reaction be?
It's a pity he can't hear in his left ear; he longs to hold her close to his ear and listen to her speak...
Yu Wenxue immediately thought of that cheesy nickname.
She opened her lips for a long time, but still couldn't say anything. This was too embarrassing for someone who had never been in a relationship.
Even though I knew it was all an act, two voices kept battling inside me, and in the end, neither won.
After waiting for a long time without a response, Gu Yun Shen's lips curled into a slight smile. He reached out and pinched her ear, repeating, "What did you call me?"
“Seeking the cold.” Yu Wenxue blurted out.
After he said that, I could clearly feel his fingertips pause slightly.
Doesn't he like it?
But she just couldn't bring herself to call him "husband"...
Just as Yu Wenxue was about to steel herself and call him "husband," Gu Yunshen responded calmly, "Mm."
Just like in that dream, the girl was barefoot in the water, waving excitedly at him.
That's what she called him back then.
...
The streets were bustling with traffic and people.
This is Huating, a small town with simple and honest folk customs.
The journey from the capital to Longxi was quite long. Since the two were traveling in secret, they decided to stay on the road for a few more days to see many sights they had never seen before.
They passed by an inn with a huge sign hanging at the entrance. The two exchanged a glance and decided to rest there for the night.
Seeing that the two men were well-dressed and handsome, the waiter quickly stepped forward and fawned, "Oh, are you two gentlemen here for a meal or to stay the night?"
Yu Wenxue smiled politely and said, "We're checking into a hotel." Then, remembering their false identities, she added, "We're a couple, so we need one room."
The waiter's expression changed for a moment when he saw Yu Wenxue's bound hands.
As a seasoned and experienced waiter, he immediately gave him an "I understand" look and said with a smile, "Okay."
"Your satisfaction is guaranteed."
Out of the corner of his eye, Gu Yun Shen noticed the hands clutching his sleeves, and his brow twitched slightly.
The waiter led the two up to the third floor, where the view was expansive and offered a panoramic view of half of Huating.
"This is where we are, sir."
Yu Wenxue: "Thank you for your trouble. Please bring some more food later."
The waiter only escorted the two to the door before leaving, giving Yu Wenxue a meaningful look as he went.
Unaware of what was going on, Yu Wenxue gently pushed open the door.
red.
A staggering red.
Passing through the screen, a bright red curtain hangs high, with a small bell hanging around each side.
Not only that, there were red bedding on the bed, and two long candles, one a dragon and the other a phoenix, on the table, which inevitably reminded people of the large red wedding quilt embroidered with mandarin ducks that was given to Gu Yun Shen...
Incense was lit inside; it wasn't pungent and smelled quite nice.
In the very center of the bed, two thin nightgowns were neatly folded.
Even if Yu Wenxue was slow-witted, she could guess what he meant.
No wonder the waiter looked at me like that!
"Um... do you mind?" Yu Wenxue poked her finger and winked at Gu Yunshen.
Gu Yunshen's thin lips curved slightly: "The room is what you wanted, I'll do as you say."
"Then this one will do."
Yu Wenxue began to examine herself.
If others are open and honest, we should be open and honest as well.
"Sirs, your food and wine are ready," the waiter called out. "Judging from your accents, you must be from the capital."
Gu Yun Shen nodded and hummed in agreement.
"Then you two must try our local specialties and fine wines in Huating."
The waiter handed the wine to Yu Wenxue, glancing at her hand as he did so.
The rope is gone again.
"Miss, please feel free to ask if you need anything."
This is the most thrilling couples' suite in the entire hotel, with all sorts of options, including not only ropes, but also collars, chains...
And it has the best sound insulation, guaranteeing them an unforgettable night.
The waiter, feeling he had done a good deed, left satisfied.
Having traveled all day, Yu Wenxue was starving, so she picked up her chopsticks and began to eat heartily.
There was a plate of grilled beef in front of her, its color enticing and its aroma delicious. After tasting it, she thought it was pretty good and picked it up for Gu Yun Shen: "This is delicious, you should try it."
Gu Yun Shen took a bite with her chopsticks and chewed it carefully: "Delicious."
"It sounds like I'm feeding you," Yu Wenxue muttered softly, taking another sip of wine.
It has a mellow and refreshing aroma, and a lingering aftertaste; it truly lives up to its reputation.
She drank three cups in one go, and when she wanted to pour herself another cup, Gu Yun Shen stopped her: "This wine doesn't taste like alcohol, but it has a strong aftereffect. Be careful of getting a headache."
"Ah, then I won't drink it." Yu Wenxue reluctantly put it back.
The headache is a minor issue; her heat rash is a major one. We must prevent it from recurring after only a few days of suppression.
Listen to advice, and you'll have a full meal.
As fate would have it, the poison of the Begonia Spring remedy flared up again that very night.
Yu Wenxue huddled in the corner of the bed, looking at the pills in her hand with disgust.
What will happen if I don't eat?
It was so bitter, the taste was comparable to ten times concentrated iced Americano without water.
Gu Yun Shen was used to her behavior, and a hint of a smile appeared in his narrow eyes. "So you still want me to feed you the way I did last time?"
Recalling that drugged kiss from last time, Yu Wenxue's face involuntarily turned bright red again.
He frowned and stared at it for a long time before finally pinching his nose and swallowing it.
"Quick, quick, hand me the water."
Gu Yun Shen turned around and poured her a glass of water.
"How long do you think I need to soak it to completely get rid of the toxins?"
Yu Wenxue asked.
Gu Yunshen raised an eyebrow: "Let's see how strong your willpower is."
Too.
Perhaps she still needs to keep her distance from him, otherwise the poisoning will only become more and more frequent.
But they're pretending to be husband and wife now; with such an intimate relationship, there's no way to hide it.
After thinking about it for a while with a troubled expression, Yu Wenxue simply opened the window to let in some fresh air.
Huating is not large, but its terrain is flat, and both farming and animal husbandry are well-developed, making it a very suitable place to live.
Suddenly, a huge phoenix flew across the sky, its entire body golden yellow, with a novel and unique design.
"Look, it's so lively outside!" Yu Wenxue waved to him.
Gu Yun Shen stood behind her, his gaze following her the whole time.
"Is there some kind of Torch Festival event outside? Should we go...?"
As she spoke, she turned her head and met Gu Yun Shen's aggressive gaze.
Those beautiful eyes, hidden in the dim candlelight, made that face look even more alluring.
The noise of the crowd outside the window drowned out their heartbeats. Gu Yun Shen's hands were placed on either side of the windowsill behind her, not giving her any chance to escape.
"There are people watching outside."
Yu Wenxue wanted to turn around to look, but her knuckles, gripping her sleeve, had already turned white. She asked nervously, "What?"
Her head was gently turned around.
The tall shadow completely enveloped her, and his shallow breaths brushed against her neck, instantly tinging her originally fair skin with a blush.
"Close your eyes."
When a gentle kiss landed on her lips, Yu Wenxue closed her eyes.
