Chapter 67 The Wedding Date: He tilted his head and kissed her lips.
[System: Friendly reminder, there are less than two days left until the task deadline]
The mechanical sound of the system pulled Yu Wenxue from her sleep.
Her palms were damp with cold sweat. She stared blankly at the ceiling, then pressed her hand to her chest. "Can I ask about the progress of the happy ending?"
If this continues, she'll develop a stress response.
[System: It is known that the progress of the happy ending for the male and female leads has regressed to about 50%, but it fluctuates greatly every day, ranging from as high as 80% to as low as 30%. Please keep up the good work, host!]
Such large fluctuations?
Yu Wenxue rubbed her chest, thinking about her trip to Cangwu Mountain today. She didn't have time to discuss it in detail, and only asked the key question: "System, you only said that the kissing partner is restricted by gender, but you didn't say that there is an age restriction, right?"
[System: ...No age limit]
"Okay, I understand." Yu Wenxue breathed a sigh of relief. She had already thought of a plan for the last task and was just waiting for tonight to pass.
She woke up covered in sweat, feeling sticky and uncomfortable. She shifted her position and tiptoed over Gu Yun Shen.
The moment she took a step, he grabbed her ankle, causing Yu Wenxue to sway and fall into his arms in a starfish position.
To be precise, she was straddling his waist.
It had a strong presence, pointing to the center of her thigh. After realizing what it was, her gaze slowly moved downwards, and Yu Wenxue's expression changed slightly, her eyes suddenly widening.
...
Is it okay if I'm not fully awake?
Or has he already woken up?
She covered her eyes, leaving only a slit, making it hard not to suspect that the person was doing it on purpose. After thinking for a moment, Yu Wenxue patted the hand on her ankle and stammered, "I want to take a bath."
Sweat beaded on her back, and the loose nightgown clung to her body, outlining her perfectly proportioned figure.
Gu Yun Shen opened his eyes, then looked away, "Hmm."
As he withdrew his hand, he savored the close contact with her just now, then pinched the flesh of his palm hard, forcing the desire to disappear.
Yu Wenxue jumped off the bed impatiently, ignoring the blush spreading across his ears.
Today is the first flashback. She persuaded Gu Rongting for a long time before he agreed to cooperate with them to regain their memories. And the first stop is Cangwu Mountain, where the four of them first met.
Yu Wenxue stood in front of the bronze mirror, holding several pieces of clothing in her hands, comparing them back and forth, trying to choose which one would be suitable to wear up the mountain.
"That mountain is incredibly difficult to climb; last time I almost vomited blood from exhaustion!" she complained, as she pulled out a light purple dress, held it up against herself, and turned to ask, "Does it look good?"
Gu Yun Shen stood to the side and chimed in, "It looks good."
"But these sleeves are a bit too big." It probably wouldn't be very convenient for hitting someone. Yu Wenxue then pulled out another light green one and continued, "What about this one?"
"It looks good, but it might blend in with the mountains and forests." Gu Yun Shen strode over, noticing the ribbon in her hair out of the corner of his eye. Among the pile of dresses she hadn't chosen, he picked out a light pink one.
"So you like pink?" Yu Wenxue spun around twice, then blinked with satisfaction: "Then I'll take this one."
Suddenly, Yu Wenxue laughed out loud, pressed her flushed cheek against hers, and stared blankly at her reflection in the bronze mirror. "Do we look like an ordinary couple living together?"
The husband patiently waited for his wife to get ready, occasionally offering some suggestions. The couple enjoyed each other's company and were deeply in love.
Gu Yunshen took her hand and intertwined their fingers: "When would you like to set the wedding date?" Before Yu Wenxue could answer, he continued, "How about September?"
"Does that mean there's only one month left?"
If Gu Rongting hadn't lost his memory, his wedding to Lin Qingwan would have been at the end of this month.
Yu Wenxue didn't speak for a moment, staring thoughtfully at her toes.
"Do you think it's too rushed?" Gu Yun Shen leaned closer, tucking a strand of hair that fell beside her ear behind her ear, his gaze gentle: "It's alright, I'll listen to you."
It's fine as it is now.
“Then… let’s do it next March.” Yu Wenxue raised her head to meet his gaze, her eyes sparkling, and said earnestly, “Spring is here, flowers are blooming, it’s a beautiful time.” It was also the day they first met.
Having received the correct answer, Gu Yunshen's lips curled up uncontrollably.
The carriage traveled all the way to the foot of Cangwu Mountain.
Returning here after several months, Yu Wenxue felt a strange sense of familiarity.
Unlike before, this time they came together as a couple.
However, that initial excitement and anticipation were quickly extinguished by the more than one hundred steps in front of them.
Gu Yun Shen noticed her hesitation, straightened his robes, and squatted down in front of her. "I'll carry you on my back."
"No, no... I've gained weight recently." Yu Wenxue bit her lower lip guiltily. Not only had her face gotten fuller, but her waist and hips had also gotten much thicker.
"Then will you carry me on your back?"
"...Pretend I didn't say anything, ask again."
Gu Yun Shen seemed not to hear her words, and simply picked her up horizontally, pinching the soft flesh on her waist as he said playfully, "You should eat more."
She was so thin before that one hand could easily wrap around her waist.
Yu Wenxue rolled her eyes shyly until she saw Lin Qingwan climbing the mountain alone, then patted his hand and said, "Okay, put me down now."
If people see this, who knows what kind of jokes they'll make about it!
Gu Yunshen raised an eyebrow noncommittally, then leaped up and used his lightness skill to carry her up.
Yu Wenxue deeply experienced what it meant to be carried by a big shot. The two rode the wind all the way up, their hearts pounding like drums, until they arrived at the pavilion and sat down on a bench to rest.
Before long, Gu Rongting arrived, panting, followed not far behind him by Fang Zixuan.
Why is she here too?
Yu Wenxue stood up abruptly.
Meanwhile, after arriving at the designated location, Gu Rongting leaned against a tree branch, panting heavily.
Strange, climbing mountains is so tiring, why did he invite Lin Qingwan to climb mountains in the first place? Was he really like a piece of rotten wood before he lost his memory?
Fang Zixuan was also exhausted. She gently wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief. She couldn't believe that the gentle and considerate Gu Rongting would invite a girl to go hiking. She couldn't help but call out, "Ah..."
"Ahhh, Black Cat Sheriff!"
Yu Wenxue swiftly took the gift and naturally accepted it, then flicked her sleeves at the two of them.
Gu Rongting: "..."
Fang Zixuan stomped her foot and said again, still unconvinced, "Ah..."
"Ahhh, Black Cat Sheriff!"
Fang Zixuan: "..." Ugh, she's so annoying!
Yu Wenxue had no idea that Fang Zixuan was already cursing her to death in her heart. She rubbed the wooden stick in her hand and said with a smile, "Good morning, cousin!"
Gu Rongting involuntarily gasped and turned to look at Gu Yunshen beside him.
I heard that he was his younger brother, but judging from the letters left in his study, their relationship did not seem to be very harmonious.
For example, when this girl was about to hit him with a wooden stick, he didn't even look at her directly, and carefully told her not to hurt herself...
However, he seemed to be in an exceptionally good mood today; his smile hadn't faded much since he arrived.
Gu Rongting looked up at the sky and touched his chin. Could it be that the relationship between the two brothers had suddenly improved after he lost his memory?
Fang Zixuan blushed, pointed at the wooden stick in Yu Wenxue's hand, and mustered her courage to speak: "Black Cat... no, miss, what do you mean by this?"
"That's what it sounds like on the surface!" Yu Wenxue blinked, continuing to stroke the wooden stick, thinking about how to proceed later.
Fragments of familiar memories struggled in Gu Rongting's mind. He rubbed his temples and, as if possessed, called out, "Cousin?"
Yu Wenxue nodded frantically.
Are you finally going to remember?
Gu Rongting smiled with relief: "Since you're my cousin, how come you're with my brother? How long have you been together? Are you even within the fifth degree of kinship? I've heard that it's best for close relatives not to marry, otherwise their offspring might not be very bright or healthy..."
"Shut up," Yu Wenxue stopped him from continuing.
Is there a brain less sharp than his?
Gu Rongting: "I'm doing this for your own good. We're all family. If it's true love, then we have nothing to fear. But the first thing I need to consider is whether you're within the five degrees of kinship..."
"I am the great-granddaughter of the old lady's brother-in-law's aunt." Yu Wenxue was annoyed by his nagging, and taking advantage of his moment of inattention, she picked up a wooden stick and hit Gu Rongting on the back of the head.
Just then, Lin Qingwan climbed the last step and exclaimed, "Brother Ting!"
Fang Zixuan turned her head and looked in the direction of the voice at the frail-looking girl.
Seeing this, Yu Wenxue put down the wooden stick, lifted her skirt and ran outside, hiding in the shadows to observe.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to take the dazed Fang Zixuan with him.
Gu Rongting leaned against Lin Qingwan's chest, sleeping peacefully. If you listened closely, you could faintly hear soft gurgling sounds.
Lin Qingwan pressed the back of her hand against his forehead, looking around helplessly, searching for Yu Wenxue's figure.
To give Gu Rongting and Lin Qingwan enough time to be alone, Yu Wenxue hid in the shadows and covered Fang Zixuan's mouth, signaling her to be quiet.
Fang Zixuan nodded, reluctantly agreeing.
Regardless of anything else, she was also curious about what kind of person Gu Rongting was before he lost his memory.
The blow wasn't very hard. After being unconscious for about half an hour, Gu Rongting slowly woke up, and the first thing he saw was Lin Qingwan's beautiful face.
He moved his stiff arm, and his eyelids twitched.
This situation seems quite familiar.
Yu Wenxue took out some melon seeds she had prepared beforehand and handed them to Gu Yunshen, saying, "Have some."
Gu Yunshen politely declined.
Yu Wenxue then handed some melon seeds to Fang Zixuan, who was sulking beside her, and smiled, "What else can you eat if you're not watching a show?"
Fang Zixuan wanted to say that she wasn't there to watch the show, but seeing Yu Wenxue eating with relish, she couldn't help but become more curious and grabbed a handful from her purse.
So it turned into two girls squatting together eating sunflower seeds and watching the show, and the scene was surprisingly harmonious.
As she ate, Fang Zixuan's gaze left Gu Rongting and lingered on Gu Yunshen.
Compared to Gu Rongting, this man was even more handsome. Not only was his skin fair and his features delicate, but he was also tall and strong, looking quite capable. Even the smile in his eyes was perfectly pleasing to the eye...
She coughed lightly and awkwardly asked, "Is this your husband?"
"I guess so." Yu Wenxue glanced up, tidied up the sunflower seed shells on the ground, and put them into a small bag. "Perhaps I should call him my fiancé?"
So, you two aren't married yet?
"yes……"
wrong.
Yu Wenxue frowned slightly, her cheeks flushed slightly as she met Shang Zixuan's curious gaze.
It was a strange feeling. Even though I knew she was just asking a question, I just felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
Fang Zixuan ignored Yu Wenxue's strange behavior and suppressed her excitement: "The man is unmarried, and the woman is unmarried?"
Yu Wenxue ate the last bite of sunflower seeds and swallowed it with difficulty.
What does that mean?
Why is she asking about this?
Adhering to her principle of not talking to strangers, she chose to continue eating sunflower seeds and remain silent.
Just then, Lin Qingwan bumped into something and was so frightened that her face turned pale. Upon closer inspection, she saw a flying insect landing on her collar.
Yu Wenxue picked up a small stone and hit Gu Rongting on the calf. Gu Rongting stumbled and fell straight towards Lin Qingwan...
Their gazes met, then looked away.
Having observed the whole thing from the sidelines without saying a word, Gu Yunshen understood Yu Wenxue's intentions. He suddenly spoke up: "So, that's what you were after."
"What?" Yu Wenxue asked.
Gu Yun Shen looked down at her, a cryptic smile playing on his lips. Though he didn't understand, he still respected her wishes. "If you want to achieve your goal, why not choose a quick and easy way?"
Yu Wenxue immediately became interested and asked excitedly, "Do you have any good ideas?"
“Since we want to evoke his memories, why not demonstrate it on the spot?” After saying that, Gu Yunshen took Yu Wenxue’s hand, walked to Gu Rongting and Lin Qingwan, and under the puzzled gazes of everyone, pressed the back of her head, turned his head and kissed her lips.
Author's Note: A dumbfounded Gu Rongting: My brother is so powerful?
Shy Lin Qingwan: This... Second Young Master is just too... too amazing.
The bewildered Little Snowflake: We didn't rehearse!
