Chapter 58 Not Opening Its Mouth Enough
The moment they kissed, Yu Wenxue crumpled Gu Yunshen's nightgown.
She didn't mean it; after all, the calming soup hadn't been prepared yet, and now wasn't the time to carry out a mission. It was just that when kissing, she didn't know where to put her hands and always wanted to grab something.
With that grab, his nightgown was completely stripped off.
The atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous. The shadows of the curtains were cast on the bed. Gu Yun Shen grabbed her waist, forcing her closer to him. He opened his mouth and kissed her soft lips.
A surge of pleasure welled up in his chest, threatening to engulf him.
After kissing so many times, Yu Wenxue got used to it and even learned to respond. When she tried to stick out her tongue, he forcefully invaded and demanded it.
He seems to really like kissing.
Every time, it would come up to her on its own initiative, like a puppy wagging its tail waiting for its owner's affection, rubbing against her affectionately and sniffing her, then blinking its wet eyes in anticipation of her next move.
He will only continue his actions after confirming her consent.
After a long time, or maybe not long, her neck started to ache, so she shifted her position and backed away.
Immediately afterwards, she was pulled into his arms and kissed him from a superior, looking-down perspective.
The atmosphere of desire overwhelmed everything; she was forced to endure the kiss, swallowing all her soft sobs.
A strange change occurred in her body; her hands, which had nowhere to go, were guided to wrap around his neck.
Although it seemed that Gu Yun Shen was in control, she actually held all the initiative. Whenever she responded, it was obvious that his body became even more excited.
The moment their lips parted, she met his alluring eyes and couldn't help but lower her head and peck him.
Gradually, she realized something was wrong.
Clearly, he didn't bring his sword to bed tonight.
So the feeling can only be...
Her presence was undeniable, and Yu Wenxue dared not move.
It was a bit embarrassing; she couldn't very well suggest letting it go down, and besides, how was she supposed to get it down?
Even though she was well-read, she was all talk and no action, lacking practical experience. The person in front of her, on the other hand, would burst into tears at the slightest kiss, perhaps even less capable than her.
Is it okay to keep it in this state?
Will it break down over time?
These things aren't covered in biology textbooks either...
The sensation was still very obvious; it wouldn't go down, so she had to go down herself. She gently pushed his chest and turned her face away, saying, "I'm sleepy."
Gu Yunshen was unaware that in the short span of a quarter of an hour, Yu Wenxue's thoughts had already wandered to all corners of the world.
My heart is pounding; it feels like she's filled it all.
That wasn't enough to satisfy him; he wanted more.
His hand kept caressing her back, where there was a thin strap, wanting to be close to her without any obstruction.
But he eventually let go, pursed the faint glistening moisture from his lips, and looked up at her: "When will it be next time?"
"I don't know." Yu Wenxue crawled into bed, her fair skin flushed with a light pink.
The smile on Gu Yun Shen's lips deepened as he asked, "Is it going to be a long time?"
With her back to him, Yu Wenxue's chest heaved rapidly, her breathing erratic, and she casually replied, "It depends on the weather."
"It's fine on a sunny day."
*
The following day, Suzhou experienced its second light rain of the month.
Yu Wenxue woke up naturally after a good night's sleep, stretched, and went to the pharmacy.
The shopkeeper, surnamed Qiu, was a middle-aged woman with smiling eyes that appeared as slits. After listening to her description, she asked, "There are many herbs that can replenish qi and calm the mind. Which one would you like, young lady?"
"It should be harmless to the body, and preferably even have some benefits, like something that can help you sleep well." Yu Wenxue thought for a moment and then added, "Something like Xiao Chai Hu might not be very effective, so something stronger than that would be best."
Shopkeeper Qiu hesitated, then said, "Miss, what are you using this for..."
“My husband hasn’t been resting well lately, and I want to help him recover.”
"I see." Shopkeeper Qiu drawled, revealing a bright gold tooth. "Then why don't you try this herbal packet? Decoction twice a day, morning and evening, with the best effect when taken before bed."
"What kinds of medicinal herbs are in here?" Yu Wenxue sniffed closer. She had learned about many medicinal herbs from Lin Qingwan when she was in Yidong, but she didn't recognize most of the ones in here.
"It contains Sichuan lovage rhizome, angelica root, poria cocos, cinnamon, eucommia bark..."
There were so many medicinal herbs that Yu Wenxue was confused. She asked again, "Will taking this really guarantee a good night's sleep?"
"Of course." Exhausted like an ox, it's no wonder I fell asleep the moment my head hit the pillow. Manager Qiu chuckled and teased, "You've only been married a short time, haven't you?"
"yes……"
"You don't look that old, so your husband shouldn't be much older than you, right?"
Yu Wenxue touched her ear. "He's the same age as me."
Shopkeeper Qiu: "For young people, once a day is enough."
After paying, Yu Wenxue ran out the door with an umbrella.
No, what is she feeling guilty about?
It's just a calming soup.
Why run?
Once they get to Tianlian Mountain, it will be easier to make their move since it will only be the two of them there.
Lost in thought, she bumped into a tall, young man without noticing. She took two steps back and said, "Excuse me."
The man ignored her, pulled his hat down low, and ran away furtively.
Yu Wenxue picked up the umbrella, which had a small hole poked in it. Looking back, she saw that the man was dressed in the uniform of a low-ranking soldier, clearly someone who had run away from the military camp.
The figure looked somewhat familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere before, but after searching my memory for a long time, I couldn't find the key information.
She rubbed her aching shoulder, looked up, and met a smiling face.
"Fan Zhuo?"
"Xiao Hua! It really is you!" Fan Zhuo waved, afraid she would run away, and took the initiative to get closer to her: "I've searched high and low without finding you, and now you've come to me without any effort. Isn't it a match made in heaven that I've met you here?"
After saying that, he noticed the medicine in her arms and his expression immediately changed: "Are you sick? Where is your blacksmith husband?"
"He won't even come with you to the doctor?"
Dead memories began to attack her brain, and Yu Wenxue said with a forced smile, "He's very busy, so don't bother him with such a small matter."
"What medicine did you buy?" Fan Zhuo put away his folding fan, his expression serious. "Do you want me to accompany you to the clinic?"
"No, no, no trouble at all... This is a medicine to prevent miscarriage!" Yu Wenxue clutched her stomach, feigning heartache: "As I mentioned last time, I'm carrying our third child, and the pregnancy is unstable, so I need to take good care of myself."
"You're pregnant, and that bastard actually..."
"Snowy Scent".
Hearing a soft call, the two turned around simultaneously.
The young man, dressed in white, stood with his hands at his sides, his lips slightly upturned, his smile gentle but not reaching his eyes.
The "dog man" Fan Zhuo had mentioned was striding over, tilting his oil-paper umbrella toward Yu Wenxue.
"Aren't you called Xiaohua?" Fan Zhuo asked.
“When you’re in the martial arts world, you’re not in control of your own destiny. Who doesn’t have a stage name?” Yu Wenxue whispered.
Gu Yunshen didn't even glance at Fan Zhuo, took her hand, and said softly, "Let's go home."
His tone was full of disdain and contempt.
"She doesn't seem as good as you say. She's just a little taller, a little fairer, has bigger eyes, and a more prominent nose than me..."
"In what other way can you compare to me? A blacksmith, yet you're worth having three children with him!"
Gu Yunshen squeezed her hand, his gaze towards her unreadable.
Yu Wenxue was so anxious she almost stood still, gritted her teeth slightly: "If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."
"So what if I like him? Whether he's a blacksmith or a butcher, I like the person, not his status."
"You! You're so young, you'll regret this later!" Fan Zhuo said with a look of regret. How could such a devoted girl have married someone else?
"Have you said enough?" Gu Yun Shen, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.
The boy's eyes were cold and indifferent, showing no emotion whatsoever, yet he possessed an air of authority that should not be underestimated.
Fan Zhu chuckled twice, still sticking to his stance: "She's pregnant, so don't make her go out to buy medicine by herself next time."
"My wife...it's not your place to interfere."
This tone is most likely a prelude to anger.
Yu Wenxue hooked her finger around Gu Yunshen's and swayed it from side to side, then whispered in his ear, "We're going out tomorrow, so it's not auspicious to see blood today."
After saying that, she winked at him.
Gu Yun Shen was amused by her rabbit-like appearance, but he was also unhappy that she did this for another man. His smile quickly faded, and the corners of his mouth pursed into a straight line.
Shouldn't people who are an eyesore just disappear?
He wanted to lock her up, so that no one could see her, so that her smile would be reserved only for him. Anyone who stood in their way should not exist in this world.
Yu Wenxue, of course, did not give him that chance.
She was somewhat helpless against his ridiculously strong grip, and could only let him lead her, holding the medicine bag in her other hand, urging him to go back quickly.
"If the rain gets heavier, it will be difficult to travel."
"I can carry you on my back."
"...No need for that."
Gu Yun Shen didn't insist on her refusal and changed the subject: "Did you wear the gold chain I gave you last time?"
It would have been better if she hadn't mentioned it, because the moment it was brought up, Yu Wenxue's face turned as red as a tomato: "If I don't take you, do you really intend to detain me?"
"It's alright, I'll take them." Gu Yunshen's tone was gentle, as if discussing something beautiful: "Or how about we each take one?"
That way, she would never be able to leave him; wherever they went, they would be together...
"Wouldn't it be wonderful if we shared one heart?"
Yu Wenxue recalled seeing similar news before, the scenes of which were somewhat eerie. She took it as a joke and continued, "Then you'd better slow down, or I won't be able to keep up with you."
Gu Yun Shen suddenly stopped in his tracks. "What medicine did you buy?"
Yu Wenxue's breath hitched, and she replied truthfully, "It's for calming the mind and replenishing qi."
"Did you sleep poorly?" Gu Yun Shen asked softly, tucking her hair in his hand.
"I bought this for you. You've been so busy lately, I wanted you to get a good night's sleep."
Gu Yun Shen didn't expose her words, but instead asked, "Is the blacksmith you mentioned me?"
Yu Wenxue calmly replied, "I just fooled him; I just made up an identity."
"So you like blacksmiths?"
No, not exactly.
So you only like me?
"..."
Yu Wenxue remained silent, unsure how to respond.
Gu Yun Shen leaned on her shoulder, lingering in her scent.
It's okay if you don't love him, as long as you don't leave him.
*
The rain lasted for a day and a night.
Perhaps it was fate, but even the heavens seemed unwilling to grant Gu Yun Shen a sunny day.
Yu Wenxue didn't care. The thought of being able to learn to swim and detoxify made her so happy that she started humming a little tune.
"Is this a folk song from your hometown?" Gu Yunshen withdrew his gaze and lowered the sedan curtain.
"I guess so." Yu Wenxue leaned back on the cushion, swinging her legs back and forth, and popped a sweet date into her mouth.
Gu Yun Shen nodded, his cold, dark eyes fixed on her: "I often hear you mention your hometown. Do you want to go back?"
"go back?"
Yu Wenxue shook her head: "There are no relatives of mine there anymore, so there's really nothing to miss."
Her parents didn't want her, and her grandparents had passed away. In her original world, even if she survived, her life would be stagnant, cold, and devoid of warmth.
At least here, she has made many good friends and is no longer alone. For her, this is happier than living alone.
The prerequisite is that she can successfully obtain a healthy body.
Gu Yun Shen seemed to be deep in thought. He warmed his cold fingertips in his palm for a while before placing them on her wrist.
"But why did you tell others that you were pregnant with my child?"
Yu Wenxue nearly choked on the date pit and quickly drank a large gulp of water. "Wasn't I just trying to make him give up?"
"To make him give up, wouldn't it be faster to stab him in the heart?" Gu Yun Shen stroked the back of her hand, resisting the urge to kiss her, his tone flat: "Or perhaps, you want to be with me..."
"Stop." Yu Wenxue beckoned him closer with her finger.
Gu Yun Shen leaned forward slightly, looking forward to what she would say, but unexpectedly, she lightly patted his forehead.
Yu Wenxue's eyes curved into beautiful crescent moons: "Think about healthy, happy, and positive things, and stop thinking about those unnecessary things!"
Gu Yunshen paused for a moment, then replied, "Okay."
As they were talking, the carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain.
Tianlian Mountain is not too far from Suzhou; it only takes about half a day to get there.
Although there are few people here, it is ultimately a place where only royalty and nobility have the opportunity to enter. All the necessities for daily life are complete and there are quite a few servants to serve you.
Yu Wenxue didn't know what methods he used to bring her here, but in any case, the living environment here was comfortable, so it was not bad to treat it as a relaxing vacation.
She secretly hid the tranquilizer in the cabinet, waiting to trick him into drinking it when he wasn't looking.
If someone is fast asleep, they won't react.
Unexpectedly, it rained for two days in a row after we arrived.
The hot spring is in the wild, surrounded by many trees. If one gets caught in the rain and contracts typhoid fever, it would be a greater loss than gain.
The two of them stood there under the umbrella, staring at each other in the light drizzle.
Yu Wenxue: "Why don't we go back first? We're already here, so one more day won't make a difference."
Gu Yun Shen gazed at the horizon, stretched out his hand to feel the wind, and said, "Wait a little longer."
Do you know how to read the weather forecast?
"Won't."
"Then what are you waiting for?" Yu Wenxue chuckled. He was sometimes like that, clumsy and adorable, so she didn't stop him and joined him in enjoying the rain.
Before long, in about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the rain gradually stopped.
The dark clouds that had shrouded the sky dissipated, gradually revealing its true azure blue.
It's really sunny now.
Yu Wenxue ate the last piece of candy, tilted her chin up slightly to avoid being startled, and gained a completely new understanding of his abilities.
She turned her head abruptly, meeting a pair of gentle, tender eyes, and heard Gu Yun Shen's clear, melodious voice in her ear: "Is a sunny day after the rain still a sunny day?"
He gazed at her quietly, a smile playing on his lips: "You promised, the next time I kiss you, it will be on a sunny day."
Author's Note: This guy is such a kissing monster who's always pestering his wife for affection. [Sprinkling flowers][Sprinkling flowers]
The last few chapters have been a bit slice-of-life [please], but there are Sunday and Saturday nights on both weekend days.
The author has something to say: Chapter 56 was locked, so some content was deleted. I've revised it again, but the general plot remains unchanged; it's just that the [yellow heart] is a bit more detailed.
