Chapter 71 Even if it's despicable, I'll stay firmly locked up in myself no matter where I am...
The streets were bustling with traffic, and the vendors' calls from both sides of the road were lively and cheerful.
Fang Zixuan walked aimlessly down the street, carrying a basket of medicinal herbs in her hand.
She had intended to visit Yu Wenxue, since she had fallen into the water because of her that day, and she should visit her no matter what. However, she was turned away as soon as she arrived at the gate of the Gu residence.
"I'm sorry, my wife has fallen into the water and is not seeing anyone right now."
Fang Zixuan was humiliated and left looking ashamed.
In the past few days, Gu Rongting has been very close to his fiancée and is about to regain his memory, leaving her here feeling superfluous.
If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have come back with him in the first place. It wouldn't have been so bad to stay in the countryside and be a happy farm girl.
The more she thought about it, the more jealous she became. Why was she the one who saved Gu Rongting's life, yet he completely disregarded her?
If he had absolutely no romantic feelings for her, why did he propose bringing her to the capital?
She refused to accept it!
As I walked, I came to a wonton stall, and a pale pink figure came into view.
"Master, two bowls of wontons," Yu Wenxue said with a smile, "one bowl without coriander or chili."
The wonton stall owner responded loudly, "Okay!" He glanced over and noticed the gold chain on Yu Wenxue's feet.
The master didn't say anything, only shook his head slightly, thinking to himself: Young people really know how to have fun.
"These wontons are delicious. I used to eat them all the time when I first came to the capital." Yu Wenxue blew on the freshly cooked wontons and took a small bite.
The meat filling is tender and juicy, with a thin skin and generous filling, making it extremely delicious.
She caught a glimpse of a begonia-red hem out of the corner of her eye, and her grip on the spoon suddenly froze.
"Cough, cough..."
Gu Yun Shen gently patted her back: "Slow down."
Yu Wenxue's face turned bright red, and she choked on a whole mouthful of undissolved white pepper powder. It took her a long time to calm down.
The owner of the clothes looked familiar; she must have seen her somewhere before. But when she looked again, the red had disappeared.
Fang Zixuan hid in the shadows, her gaze lingering on the two of them.
One is reserved, the other is charming; they look like a perfect match.
Yu Wenxue is always very lucky. She has a fiancé who loves her, friends who are like sisters to her, and even her cousin who has lost his memory can't help but get close to her.
Out of curiosity, Fang Zixuan, who should have left, stayed behind and quietly observed.
"Your chain is still a bit too thin. Why don't you get a thicker one next time?" Yu Wenxue took a sip of soup and couldn't help but praise it. The soup was so delicious it made her eyebrows fall off.
Gu Yunshen smiled enigmatically: "It's too thick. Aren't you afraid it'll be too heavy?"
Yu Wenxue rested her elbows on the table, supporting her chin: "If it's heavy, you can just carry me on your back."
She blinked, her eyes curving into crescents: "It's just that I've gained weight now, so it might be a little difficult to carry me on my back."
Gu Yun Shen replied casually, "It's alright."
He glanced casually to the side and continued, "If it's too strenuous, then remove all four limbs to reduce the weight."
The wonton vendor was so startled that he spilled a bowl of soup.
This isn't romance, it's a living devil!
Yu Wenxue didn't mind and continued, "If we're going to a good place, bring my right hand; if we're not, bring my left hand. How about that?"
Gu Yun Shen said with a playful expression, "Very good."
"Ouch! Master, what happened to you? You've spilled two bowls of soup!" The wonton chef apologized repeatedly, "I'm so sorry, I... my hand was shaking."
He wished he could plug his ears and not hear such dangerous remarks anymore.
Fang Zixuan, who was hiding to the side, was also frightened by the earth-shattering conversation between the two.
Is this really how they get along?
Fang Zixuan instantly felt that neither of the two young masters of the Gu family were good men.
Neither of them are good!
Whether out of a sense of kinship as fellow women or for some other reason, Fang Zixuan immediately stepped forward, intending to rescue Yu Wenxue from her predicament.
He had only taken a few steps when someone hit his calf with a stone.
"Ouch!" Fang Zixuan clutched her numb calf, her gaze inadvertently meeting Gu Yunshen's.
His gaze was sinister, and although his face showed no emotion, his eyes seemed to possess an all-seeing sharpness, completely unlike the innocent look he gave Yu Wenxue.
She hurriedly turned her back, gritted her teeth, and thought to herself: I'm sorry, Miss Yu, I can't save you this time. You must pray for your own good fortune.
Suddenly, Fang Zixuan noticed the pepper powder that others were adding to their bowls, and a brilliant idea struck her.
Hearing a strange noise, Yu Wenxue curiously peeked out, but Gu Yunshen gently turned her back: "Eat quickly, we should leave after you finish eating."
Today they are going to the government office to register their marriage, a process roughly similar to that of a modern marriage registry.
Couples who are about to get married need to register with the government and receive a marriage certificate with an official seal. This is considered to finalize the marriage. If they want to divorce in the future, they also need to go to the government to dissolve their relationship.
Holding the forged identification card, Yu Wenxue looked slightly guilty and leaned closer to ask, "Are you sure this is really nothing to worry about?"
The identification card requires registration of household registration, place of origin, and parents' names. She was a transmigrator, originally without father or mother, and even the original Yu father and mother were fake.
She had no family, neither in nor out of the book.
Gu Yunshen saw her concerns and said gently, "I have no parents, would you care?"
Yu Wenxue was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Why should I care? You are just you, what does it have to do with other people?"
Gu Yun Shen gazed at her quietly: "So, it is you who I marry, regardless of whether you have family, what your name is, or where you come from."
He wouldn't ask what she didn't want to say, and it didn't matter where she came from.
Hearing him say that made her seem stingy and coy, Yu Wenxue stopped arguing, paid the bill, and got up to stretch.
Seeing that they had finally left, the wonton vendor flashed a bright white smile and said, "Take care, sirs! Remember to come again!"
It would be best if they never came again.
The two walked side by side on the street, but Yu Wenxue walked very slowly because of the gold chains on her feet.
She stopped halfway there.
"Untie it."
Gu Yunshen hesitated for a moment, then squatted down and untied the chains on her feet.
Before Yu Wenxue could even feel happy, she saw him put the other half of the necklace he had taken off on his foot and say with a smile, "You said you would never be separated from me, so let's lock ourselves together like this forever."
I suddenly felt like kicking him.
Yu Wenxue thought.
Seeing that Gu Rongting's amnesia was gradually improving, she couldn't wait to help him regain his memory, so she took Gu Yunshen's hand and said in a coquettish tone, "Xunhan~"
Gu Yun Shen's body stiffened visibly for a moment, his back straightening: "Where are you going to carry me this time?"
"I'll take you with me. My cousin will be regaining his memory soon, we need to work harder!"
According to her and Lin Qingwan's plan, the Qixi Festival was in two days, and they were going to have a romantic date.
The Qixi Festival in this dynasty is considered one of the major festivals of the year, and people of all ages and genders enthusiastically participate in the activities.
After listening to Yu Wenxue's rambling for a while, Gu Yunshen nodded.
He originally intended to take her out, but now... he inexplicably enjoys her like this.
He was never a good person; he even despicably hoped that she would beg him more.
"Grandpa, look, why are my older brother and sister wearing chains on their feet?"
"Don't talk nonsense, or this bad older brother will grab you and eat you!"
As the grandfather and grandson brushed past each other, Yu Wenxue heard these words and her face instantly turned cold. She rolled up her sleeves, ready to rush over and argue: "Hey, you old man, why are you talking so rudely?"
"How is he a bad brother!"
The old man had a white beard but was in excellent spirits. He looked Yu Wenxue up and down and gave her a disdainful look: "Little girl, don't lead the children astray."
"To be seen pulling and tugging at a man in broad daylight is utterly immoral and disgraceful!"
They were pulling and tugging at each other, but they weren't even holding hands!
Yu Wenxue crossed her arms: "Then don't take him out. If you do, blindfold him." She pointed to the half-full pot of wine in the old man's hand and said, "And what are you doing drinking in broad daylight? You'll corrupt the child and he'll inherit your foul mouth!"
"You...you little girl have such a sharp tongue!"
Having delivered enough, Yu Wenxue took Gu Yunshen's arm and made a face at the old man.
In a corner where she couldn't see, Gu Yun Shen quietly reached out his hand.
Immediately afterwards, the old man fell on his backside, and because of the excessive movement, his pants ripped open at the crotch. He hurriedly covered his private parts, truly becoming "indecent."
"This is what happens when you gossip!" Yu Wenxue exhaled, feeling a surge of satisfaction.
Turning her head, she noticed that Gu Yun Shen had taken off the gold chain from her ankle.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
Gu Yunshen returned a smile, his meaning ambiguous: "It's nothing, I was just worried it would be inconvenient for you to walk."
"It's alright, nothing inconvenient."
Yu Wenxue looked at his expression, quite puzzled.
Without thinking much, she hopped around and spun around twice... feeling a little dizzy.
Gu Yun Shen stopped in front of a pharmacy.
He has poor hearing, but he still managed to hear the hurried footsteps.
She had been following them.
Yu Wenxue hooked his finger: "You're strange."
Gu Yunshen concealed the murderous intent in his gaze: "I'm going inside to buy something. Will you wait for me here?"
Why didn't we go in together?
As soon as she said it, Yu Wenxue regretted it.
What if, what if he asked about... that kind of thing? He probably wouldn't feel comfortable bringing her along. After thinking it over, she waved her hand and said, "Then I'll stand at the door. Come back quickly."
As they reached the door, Gu Yun Shen glanced back at her.
This was her last chance to escape.
Bored while waiting, Yu Wenxue went to the stall next door and bought two portions of Qiaoguo, which is said to be a specialty of the Qixi Festival.
She had never eaten it before, so she was very curious, but when she actually tasted it, she found that the taste was nothing special.
Just as she was about to close the lid, Fang Zixuan snatched it away and mysteriously pulled her aside, saying, "Hey, want to run away with me?"
"What are you running away from?" Yu Wenxue asked in confusion. "What are you doing here?"
Fang Zixuan sneered, "I came to rescue you because I felt sorry for you!"
Yu Wenxue laughed and asked curiously, "Tell me, where am I pitiful?"
“I saw you... that bad man chained you up and tried to break your arms and legs…”
“Oh, this?” Yu Wenxue suddenly found Fang Zixuan a bit cute and couldn’t help but tease her: “Yeah, what can I do? Even if I run away, he’ll catch me and cut off my legs.”
"Here, take this." Fang Zixuan looked around and, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, slipped her a small packet of medicine. "This is the best sleeping potion. Use it to knock him out and escape."
After saying that, she turned her head away and stammered, "If you have nowhere to go, I'll reluctantly take pity on you and take you to my hometown, but you'll have to work. There are a lot of cows in my hometown that need to be fed."
In short, she absolutely refused to admit that she helped her out of guilt.
Yu Wenxue noticed her awkwardness and pulled her to the other side: "Alright, since you gave me the sleeping pills, I'll reluctantly treat you to a bowl of cold rice cake."
Fang Zixuan held out her hand: "Two portions."
"......OK."
As he left the pharmacy, Gu Yunshen immediately spotted the spot where Yu Wenxue had been standing.
It was completely empty.
She did indeed leave.
How could a bird that yearns for freedom willingly become a caged bird?
He stood quietly in place, waiting for an unknown amount of time, until the sun set and the sky was tinged with red, before he slowly moved his feet.
It's better that they've left...
That's fine.
Is it really okay for you to leave?
No, he was unwilling and resentful.
He wanted to find her, even if it meant going to the ends of the earth, he would keep her firmly by his side.
If love cannot endure, then let them perish in hatred.
Gu Yun Shen clenched his fist, changed direction, and what came towards him was the girl's light pink hair ribbon fluttering in the wind.
She stood there, waving vigorously at him, and ran over in long strides.
"Wait for me!" Yu Wenxue held a sugar painting in her hands, her cheeks flushed from running so fast, her messy hair sticking to her temples, but her eyes were surprisingly bright.
She stood on tiptoe, proudly showing off her work: "I drew it."
Gu Yun Shen's face was terrifyingly calm, but his fingertips, hidden under his sleeves, trembled inexplicably. What was concealed beneath the mask was his stubborn and insane heart.
He looked at the sugar painting that resembled him by seven or eight points, and his brow twitched slightly.
After a long while, he brushed a stray hair from her temple and smiled gently: "You look beautiful."
“You’re the one who’s good-looking,” Yu Wenxue affirmed.
She took his hand, pretending not to see his trembling fingertips, and said with a smile, "Let's go quickly. After today, we will be a family in the truest sense."
