Chapter 70 Likes to Help Me
"Why, why can't it be me?"
Gu Yunshen's voice was thunderous, striking Yu Wenxue's heart.
She tried to back away, but he held her tightly in his arms, and behind her was a cold wall.
Her chin was pinched, forcing her to look him in the eye.
His gaze was extremely aggressive, a stark contrast to his usual indifferent demeanor. As time passed, Yu Wenxue almost forgot that he was essentially a villain; aside from maintaining a facade in front of her, he hadn't changed at all...
"You said you like me, how much do you like me?" Gu Yun Shen's hand gently pressed against her chest, his eyes still smiling. "Even if I did something to hurt you, would you still continue to love me and never leave me?"
Yu Wenxue was unsettled by his hand. She wanted to brush it away, but then she saw the grievance in his eyes. In the end, she could only mumble, "Yes."
“I don’t care what secrets you have. As long as you stay by my side, I will never ask.” Gu Yun Shen smiled and lowered his head. He slowly bent down and squatted on the ground, looking up at her and pinching her ankle.
"Can I stay?"
He took out the gold chain he had prepared beforehand, pondering how to tie it around her ankle.
The gold chain was icy cold, just like his fingertips, devoid of any human warmth. Yu Wenxue flinched, but did not resist.
For a moment, she even wondered if he had just come out of cold water.
Her question took a turn when she began, saying, "How did you know...?"
Before she could finish speaking, her lips were pressed against his finger.
"Shh." Gu Yun Shen gently stroked her cheek: "Because I love you." He would secretly control everything about her.
Yu Wenxue swallowed her words.
The sky began to lighten with the first light of dawn, and the sound of birdsong gradually rose outside the window.
In an instant, the two changed positions, with Yu Wenxue sitting on his lap, looking down at him.
Gu Yun Shen raised his head, his palm cupping the back of her neck, his dark eyes moist, his gaze almost pleading.
The skin he touched sent a tingling, itchy sensation through Yu Wenxue, who shook the bells at her feet, which rang out with a clear, crisp sound.
Perhaps worried that she would be angry, he only tied one side of the knot, leaving the other side untied.
Just as Yu Wenxue was thinking about this, she saw him, with his excessively handsome face, mercilessly tie up his other foot as well.
"......"
"Now, can you belong only to me, and only look at me?"
“I belong only to myself,” Yu Wenxue said soberly.
She is not anyone's possession; she has her own thoughts and soul. A mere gold chain cannot bind her at all; it breaks with the slightest force.
She didn't refuse now, simply because she didn't want to hurt him when he felt insecure. She had experienced that pain herself and didn't want him to go through it.
After thinking it over, she reluctantly hooked her toes around his belt, feeling both awkward and helpless, and asked, "Then what am I supposed to do when I go out?"
Gu Yunshen shook his head and sighed softly: "You're always disobedient."
"I wasn't there when you fell into the water. This can't happen again."
He wrapped his arms around Yu Wenxue's waist, kissing her neck with a hazy, lingering tenderness. With a sickly obsession, he traced his kisses down her collarbone, and on the exposed expanse of white skin, he blossomed a flower that belonged to him. "So, don't run around anymore, okay?"
"Hmm..."
He didn't bite hard, but her skin was thin and it was easy for him to leave red marks.
"Say you love me."
Yu Wenxue smiled and said, "You childish devil."
Gu Yun Shen continued patiently, "Say you love me..."
As he spoke, he restlessly touched her scars.
Yu Wenxue's eyelashes trembled slightly. At first, she could still suppress this strange feeling, but later she was worn down and had no choice but to meet his reddened eyes and say seriously, "I love you."
This sentence, however, triggered his frenzy even more. Unable to do anything more intimate during this special period, he could only kiss her passionately, again and again.
......
[System: Clearance complete. The male and female leads' happy ending is currently 95% complete. Please keep up the good work, host!]
[System: Host, you're just a little bit more away from fully recovering your health!]
Yu Wenxue lazily got up and said in a muffled voice, "Hmm."
The bell at her feet was still firmly attached to her body. She looked at it for a while, yawned, pulled the blanket over herself, and went back to sleep.
These past few days, she's done nothing but eat and sleep; aside from being a little bored, she hasn't been feeling unwell.
I looked in the mirror yesterday and realized I'd gained weight again.
The chains are about a step apart, so they don't affect her travel; in fact, she could easily break them with a big step.
But she didn't.
It wasn't that she couldn't resist, but the anklet was quite pretty, and she didn't want to ruin it.
Yu Wenxue slept until the sun was high in the sky, then rubbed her shoulders, feeling a bit stiff from sleeping in.
With nothing to do, she strolled leisurely to the pond in the yard, moved a small table, and began to draw fish.
If she didn't move, it would have been fine, but as soon as she moved, the gold chain that nominally "imprisoned" her was torn off.
The quality is very poor; it's a shoddy construction project.
Yu Wenxue thought so.
If she were to solve it so easily, wouldn't that make Gu Yun Shen lose face?
After thinking it over, Yu Wenxue squatted down and studied it for a while before fastening the chain again.
There's nothing I can do; she's just that kind and understanding person.
Although it's unclear what happened between Lin Qingwan and Gu Rongting these past few days, progress is slowly increasing, and perhaps it won't be long before she fully recovers.
Just thinking about such a life is wonderful.
Perhaps, the day Gu Rongting regains his memories will be the day her mission is accomplished.
It seems that history repeating itself is useful.
With this in mind, she decided to continue with their previous plan. There was less than a week left before their wedding, and she hoped that he could recover before then.
Following the next steps, it's time to relive the petal shower of confession.
only......
She glanced down at the flimsy chain at her feet and scratched her chin.
Several days have passed, and it's unclear whether Gu Yun Shen's awkwardness has subsided.
The koi in the painting were so lifelike, they seemed to leap off the paper. She leaned closer to sniff them and faintly detected a fishy smell.
Wen Yu suddenly appeared out of nowhere, pounced on the painting, and left several paw prints.
Without giving it much thought, she instructed someone to put away the brush and ink, then turned and went to the kitchen.
One hour later.
"Ahem!" Yu Wenxue, with a dark, grimy face, walked out of the kitchen in high spirits, carrying a plate of food that was hard to identify.
Mr. Cai, who was behind her, couldn't stop her. He stood there blankly, and stamped his foot helplessly.
"Oh dear! Madam, you added salt, not sugar!"
Yu Wenxue didn't hear those words, as she was completely absorbed in her masterpiece.
The food on the plate was sticky and mushy; it was fried glutinous rice cake, but the heat was too high, and many parts of it had turned black.
When Gu Yun Shen returned, Yu Wen Xue handed it to him like a precious treasure, her eyes sparkling.
"I made it, have a taste."
Gu Yun Shen's outstretched chopsticks stopped in mid-air.
After a pause, she still obediently took a bite and swallowed it without changing her expression.
It tasted strange, probably because they put a lot of salt in it, but he didn't dampen her spirits and smiled, saying, "It's delicious."
Yu Wenxue rubbed her hands together: "You can have all the good food."
"......"
Gu Yun Shen pursed his lips, obediently took another bite, but his eyes were fixed on her feet.
The golden bell swayed gently with her movements, its sound reaching his heart and stirring a ripple of emotion.
The chain was very thin; she could easily break free with just a little effort.
Why didn't she...?
"Why aren't you eating?" Yu Wenxue waved her hand in front of him, frowning as she asked, "Is it so bad that you're too embarrassed to say?"
"No." Gu Yun Shen looked away and silently finished the glutinous rice cake on the plate.
Yu Wenxue stopped him: "Um... you can't eat too much of this sticky stuff, it's easy to get heartburn."
The heartburn was alright, but it was a bit salty.
Gu Yun thought deeply.
He didn't speak, and Yu Wenxue didn't stop him anymore, letting him finish eating and drink a lot of tea.
It wasn't until she went to bed that night that she realized how fierce the calm before the storm could be.
The bed curtains were drawn down, covering her almost naked body.
This action made her feel very insecure, so she buried herself under the covers, but a moment later, Gu Yun Shen pulled her out again.
He grasped her wrist and pressed her palm against his chest, where he had recently gained some weight, but it still looked slender.
He gently bit the corner of her lip and said, word by word, "You seemed to really enjoy kissing me before."
Yu Wenxue whispered, "Yes."
But she couldn't explain that it was to complete the system's tasks, otherwise he would feel insecure again.
She closed her eyes, tilted her head back, and quickly kissed him: "I like it now too."
Gu Yunshen suppressed his throbbing and swallowed his desire.
Yu Wenxue, however, felt an urge to bully him...
In the chaos, my fingertip accidentally touched something.
She hurriedly pulled her hand back, only to have it grabbed by him again.
But he didn't take any further action, only subtly expressing his feelings, "I'm not feeling well here, can you help me?"
“I…” Yu Wenxue avoided his burning gaze, but her pounding heart betrayed her feigned calm.
Help? How can I help?
She doesn't know how either...
It's not that it's impossible, but she thinks she needs to blow out the candles first; if it's too bright, she'll feel shy.
The gold chain on her feet might be inconvenient, so Yu Wenxue slowly twisted her calves and said softly, "Then you should take the chain off first."
Gu Yun Shen didn't ask any more questions. His hand, which was resting on her calf, skillfully unlocked the mechanism.
The thin straps on her back were gently ground by his teeth. Yu Wenxue recalled the steps and took the initiative to hug his neck and kiss him.
Her hands trembled slightly...
Their breaths mingled, and Gu Yun Shen bit her shoulder, pleasure spreading through his chest.
To die in her arms would be something to be thankful for.
...
Yu Wenxue was stopped by him, and looked at him with innocent eyes: "Didn't you say you weren't feeling well?"
Gu Yun Shen pecked her collarbone, his eyes brimming with undisguised amusement: "Sorry, I ate something sticky tonight, and my chest feels a little uncomfortable."
"It seems you've misunderstood again."
"..."
"Oh~" Yu Wenxue couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to crawl into a mouse hole.
How could she think that way?
They clearly didn't mean that!
A kiss landed on her hollow collarbone. Gu Yun Shen whispered something in her ear, making Yu Wen Xue's already flushed face burn even hotter. She murmured, "I want to sleep, stop bothering me."
The warmth in her arms neutralized the faint chill emanating from him. Gu Yun Shen stopped teasing her and kept pressing his lips to hers, asking, "Even if I lock you up, do you still love me?"
Yu Wenxue was still embarrassed and said irritably, "I don't love you."
Gu Yun Shen smiled. After spending so much time together, he could tell whether she was truly angry or just pretending. He wrapped his fingers around her, feeling the fullness in his palm.
"It's okay if you don't love me, as long as you don't love anyone else."
Yu Wenxue was annoyed by him and raised her hand to cover his mouth, but she accidentally used too much force and ended up slapping him instead.
A bright red finger mark was left on her fair cheek.
Without further ado, I quickly pretended to be asleep.
Yu Wenxue closed her eyes and pretended to talk in her sleep: "I'm asleep."
But Gu Yun Shen wasn't about to let her off so easily. He grabbed the hand she had just used to hit someone, his voice filled with humility and unease, and pressed it to his lips: "Can I rub it now?"
"No." Yu Wenxue always considered herself a person of great integrity, and if she said no, she meant no. She was still angry after the misunderstanding, so why would she easily give him any benefits?
She pushed him away, took the initiative, and bit his chest.
Feeling unwell? Distract yourself and you'll feel better.
Since she's already bullied me, I might as well bully her to the very end.
Author's Note: Xiao Gu: I'm going to lock you up in the house and not let you go anywhere.
Little Snowflake: Oh~ It's just for fun. (Continues eating, while tightening the ties a little more)
