Chapter 8: Excitedly Biting Him
Night fell, and the stars twinkled in the sky.
After taking a bath, Yu Wenxue lay in bed recalling what had happened that evening, still unable to believe it.
It's like searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly!
Lin Qingwan truly lives up to her name; she is gentle, generous, and most importantly, kind-hearted. No wonder she was chosen as the female lead!
What kind of opportunity will it take for the two of them to naturally kiss tomorrow?
As she was thinking, Yu Wenxue yawned.
Since arriving at the Marquis's residence, her sleep quality has been excellent; she falls asleep almost as soon as her head hits the pillow.
Several knocks came from outside the door.
Yu Wenxue was sleeping soundly. She turned over, and the quilt slipped off her shoulders and was pressed down on her body.
Gu Yun Shen quietly walked to her bedside, crossed his arms, stared at her for a while, and then reached out to check her pulse.
His breathing was weak, and his heart was damaged.
They could lose their lives at any moment.
With such a frail body, he would die as soon as he exerted any effort.
The person on the side of the bed was completely unaware of the impending danger, with their arms outstretched in a "T" shape.
Perhaps he had discovered something interesting, Gu Yun Shen simply sat down on the small couch next to her, propped his chin up and looked at her.
He remembered that when he was a child, he found a kitten that was on the verge of death. Whenever he touched its nose, it would open its mouth wide and bite, making a whimpering sound.
Its teeth are small, and although sharp, they don't hurt at all when it bites.
But what the cat didn't know was that such a fragile life was no match for humans.
He tentatively tapped her nose, wanting to see if she would bite him like a kitten.
Yu Wenxue couldn't help but touch her nose, which felt itchy, and muttered a few words under her breath.
Gu Yun Shen didn't hear clearly, so he leaned slightly closer.
The next moment, a slap landed on his face.
...
Yu Wenxue dreamed that she defeated a male ghost.
The male ghost had an almost otherworldly appearance, which quickly captivated her, a woman who was obsessed with good looks.
But she was human, and humans and ghosts are ultimately destined to be apart. Although Yu Wenxue was reluctant, she was still forced to leave him, thus staging a tragic love story between a human and a ghost.
Before leaving, she wanted to say goodbye, but found that the male ghost had turned into the face of Gu Yun Shen, the villain.
Yu Wenxue suddenly woke up with a start.
Cold sweat seeped down her back. She pressed her fragile heart, afraid that she might accidentally revert to her original sickly body.
When she turned around, the male ghost from her dream was sitting in a chair in her room, slowly pouring himself a cup of tea.
"A ghost!" Yu Wenxue exclaimed in surprise.
He must not have woken up properly.
Restart once.
She crawled into bed, pinched herself hard, and found it hurt quite a bit. Then she carefully crawled out, only her head showing, her eyes darting around.
Gu Yun Shen glanced at it casually and said, "I knocked on the door."
Yu Wenxue looked around. The doors and windows were tightly closed, and it seemed that not even a fly could get in. Instantly, she gained a completely new understanding of this person's skills.
It was so spectacular it could be described as a magical transformation.
Why didn't you fight back when you were bullied?
That's not important. What's important is that he's holding a familiar picture book in his hand.
The open page depicts a naked man.
There is a mole at the corner of her eye.
Oh no!
How did this thing end up in his hands?
Does he also know how to draw palace pictures?
Yu Wenxue's arm tightened, her palms slightly damp as she gripped the corner of the blanket. Feigning composure, she asked, "It's so late, Second Young Master, is there something you need from me?"
Gu Yun Shen lifted his eyelashes, a half-smile on his face, and said, "It's nothing, I just wanted to see you."
"..."
Why would I see her? To interrogate her?
"Wouldn't it be bad for your reputation if word got out like this?" Yu Wenxue thought for a moment, "Why don't we talk about this during the day..."
“But I’m already inside.” He leaned against the wall, his knuckles bent, tapping the edge of the table intentionally or unintentionally, and said, “Aren’t you hot wrapped in a blanket?”
"It's alright, I've always been sensitive to the cold," Yu Wenxue said with an embarrassed smile.
"In that case, I do have a way to alleviate this. Would Miss Yu be willing to give it a try?"
Gu Yun Shen casually flipped to a page. The man in the picture book was half-naked, and his features bore a striking resemblance to his own, with every corner of his eyes and brows exuding charm.
The woman's supple, boneless body entwined around his waist, inseparable, like a water snake exuding a beautiful yet deadly allure.
He... he wouldn't be referring to the contents of the picture book, would he?
Yu Wenxue's eyelids twitched, and she exclaimed, "I don't want to!"
No wonder she felt something was familiar after she finished drawing it; she had inadvertently incorporated Gu Yun Shen's face into it.
To save her life, Yu Wenxue mentally summoned the system:
"System, system, do you have any defense or protection measures for the host?"
[System: Currently down, please do not disturb]
"You were quite active when reminding me to do tasks, but now you're playing dead and not showing up at all?"
Yu Wenxue silently cursed the system to the core, her gaze quietly shifting to the sword at Gu Yunshen's waist.
I wonder if someone with such beautiful hands will be gentle when they touch her.
She remembered that he was very strong, so if he choked her later, she would most likely have no chance to resist.
Not only that, the book says that he also seems to know light-footed kung fu, and that he would definitely be faster than her when he flies, so running away is also not an option.
Most importantly, as a villain, he doesn't understand the concept of "cherishing women."
I remember my grandma telling me when I was little that she raised several snow-white geese when she lived in the countryside. Every time she ate meat, she would first get the geese drunk, and then slit their necks with a knife to let them bleed...
His gaze was naked and direct, like spider silk growing wildly in a dark corner, gradually entangling her.
Yu Wenxue dared not think any further, and even felt a little desperate.
But she still held onto a sliver of hope, got out of bed and poured him a cup of tea, murmuring, "I'm new here and don't have much money. If I'm not hospitable enough, please don't blame me."
"It's quite good." Gu Yun Shen finished the stale tea on the table without changing his expression, looked at the girl who was curled up like a quail, and then asked, "Miss Yu, what do you think of this painting?"
"So-so, very so-so, utterly unbearable to look at." As she spoke, Yu Wenxue took a few steps back, feigning profound insight as she commented, "This artist's work is terrible. Remember to buy a better one next time."
"I see." Gu Yun Shen glanced at her slender, fair neck, and said with a playful tone, "I think this person's painting skills are excellent, and I would like to hire this painter to create a portrait for a hefty sum."
"It's a pity we don't know where this nameless painter is, otherwise these three hundred taels..."
“Actually, I’m quite good at drawing,” Yu Wenxue said, leaning closer while holding a blanket. “I’m especially good at drawing portraits.”
"Exceptionally good at it."
Gu Yun Shen slightly raised his eyelids but did not speak.
But Yu Wenxue saw the distrust in his eyes and said sincerely, "Trust me, I can definitely paint better than this painter!"
Three hundred taels! That's three hundred taels!
“I’m sorry, but I only want to find the illustrator of this picture book, after all…” Gu Yun Shen glanced at her lightly, “I feel that she and I are destined to meet.”
"What fate do you have with her? You have a fate with me!"
Faced with the choice between death and money, Yu Wenxue took a gamble, biting her lip as she asked, "So, is the three hundred taels real?"
Gu Yun Shen suddenly laughed out loud: "It's fake."
Yu Wenxue curled her lip and said, "Take care."
stingy person drinks cold water!
Kill me or torture me, it's all up to you.
"Although there are not three hundred taels, there are one hundred gold coins."
"Not sending it is impossible." Yu Wenxue forced a smile: "So, what do you need me to draw?"
Gu Yun Shen paused for a moment, then slowly spoke: "You."
"I?"
Yu Wenxue pointed at herself, saying incredulously, "Why are you painting me...?"
Should we offer her portrait as a sacrifice?
Or is Gu Yun Shen planning to secretly poke her portrait with a needle and perform the rumored witchcraft?
That's incredibly boring of him...
Yu Wenxue clutched her clothes, awaiting her fate, but received no answer. She then secretly glanced at Gu Yunshen, who was leaning against the wall, looking relaxed, with a handsome smile on his lips.
Not only do they resemble each other in appearance, but they also capture the essence of each other.
She draws really well.
Yu Wenxue drew a conclusion.
But how come there are several red marks on such a beautiful face...?
You got beaten up?
Ignoring her burning gaze, Gu Yun Shen said in a light tone, "To ward off evil."
!!
You can't expect ivory from a dog's mouth!
Yu Wenxue looked up and met a face that seemed to say "I did it on purpose," trying to prove that she was prettier than Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong. She jumped off the bed and pointed at the door gods pasted on the door, saying, "Are you sure I'm better at warding off evil than those two?"
She was furious, but dared not vent her anger loudly. Feeling both frustrated and humiliated, she unleashed a small, angry outburst: "Don't you think I'm much prettier than them?"
"It looks good." Gu Yunshen's eyes showed approval. "It also wards off evil spirits."
"..."
Oh well, let him be.
Yu Wenxue added, "Then promise me you won't let anyone else see this."
She didn't want to be treated like a door god.
"OK."
Gu Yun Shen lowered his eyes, concealing the hidden excitement within them.
interesting.
