Gu Youran's heart sank suddenly and his fingers trembled slightly.
Shi Heng noticed her strangeness and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Gu Youran handed him the phone, and the text message on the screen was so dazzling that it made people feel uneasy.
Shi Heng frowned and asked in a low voice, "Who sent it?"
Gu Youran clenched his fists. "I don't know. But no matter who it is, I won't back down."
Shi Heng looked at her, his eyes full of trust, "I believe you."
Mrs. Mo noticed that the atmosphere was not right and asked with concern, "What happened?"
Gu Youran smiled and pretended to be relaxed, "It's okay, Mrs. Mo."
"Child, no matter what difficulties you encounter, remember that you are not fighting alone." Mrs. Mo said sincerely.
Gu Youran nodded, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
She knew that this competition was not only about her personal honor, but also about the future of traditional Chinese medicine.
At this time, Mrs. Mo took out a small bag from her bag and handed it to her.
"Oh, by the way, Master Su Jin specifically asked me to pass this on to you. It contains some small accessories that go with the clothes, and they all incorporate traditional elements."
Gu Youran took the bag and opened it.
Inside was a pair of earrings made of jade and colorful silk threads, and a necklace with a Ruyi knot pattern.
Her heart suddenly warmed up, "Master Su Jin is so thoughtful."
Mrs. Mo smiled and said, "He also said that he hopes these accessories can add a unique touch to your competition."
Gu Youran carefully folded the clothes and put them back into the wooden box.
She looked at Mrs. Mo and said seriously, "Mrs. Mo, don't worry, I will definitely keep this dress well and wear it to the competition."
Mrs. Mo nodded, a relieved smile on her face, "I believe you, child."
After seeing Mrs. Mo off, Gu Youran returned to the room and opened the wooden box again.
The dress lay quietly inside, as if carrying the expectations of countless people.
She gently stroked her clothes and secretly vowed: I must win the competition and live up to everyone's trust and support.
…
The day of the competition arrived in the blink of an eye.
It was just dawn and a faint light slipped into the bedroom. Gu Youran woke up immediately, not wanting to sleep at all.
She got up quietly, afraid of waking up Shi Heng who was sleeping soundly.
Walking into the living room, Gu Youran opened the wooden box on the table and took out the clothes given by Mrs. Mo.
The off-white top-grade brocade is soft to the touch, like flowing moonlight.
After putting it on, it fits gently to every inch of her skin, and the soft luster it emits makes her skin look as white as snow.
The black Yin-Yang and Five Elements embroidery on the clothes is simple and mysterious.
As Gu Youran walked, the embroidery seemed to come alive and change.
She came to the mirror, picked up the jade earrings and put them on.
As she turned around, her short hair caused the colorful silk threads to swing lightly.
She picked up the red Ruyi knot necklace and hung it around her neck. The red color was particularly eye-catching at the collar.
It added a bit of brightness and liveliness to her whole person.
At this time, Shi Heng walked in and saw Gu Youran at a glance.
He stopped suddenly, held his breath for a moment, and could no longer hide the amazement in his eyes.
In his eyes, Gu Youran at this moment was so beautiful that he couldn't take his eyes off her. She was a look he had never seen before.
Shi Heng took a few steps to reach her, put his hands on her waist, and with a little force, pulled her tightly into his arms.
He lowered his head, his lips almost touching her ear, his voice low and hoarse.
"Youbao, you look so beautiful today. How can I bear to let you go to the competition? All I can think about now is hiding you and not letting anyone see you."
Gu Youran's cheeks instantly turned hot, like a ripe apple.
She bit her lower lip lightly, with a bit of shyness in her eyes. She reached out and gently hit his chest, and said coquettishly: "You only know how to say these indecent things. How can you be like this!"
Instead of restraining himself, Shi Heng tightened his arms even more, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.
He moved one hand slowly up along her waistline and gently stroked her back, his movements gentle and ambiguous.
With his other hand, he held the back of her head, bringing her face closer to his, their noses touching and their breaths mingling.
Shi Heng lowered his head, licked his lips subconsciously, and said in a voice so low that it was almost a whisper, "I'm not kidding."
"You're so beautiful. As soon as you go out, everyone will be dazzled by you. What should I do? I really want to..."
Before he could finish his words, Gu Youran's hand grabbed the clothes on his chest, raised her head slightly, her eyes full of anticipation, and her breathing became rapid.
Shi Heng kissed the corner of her mouth, his movements gentle and eager, slowly moving down, kissing all the way along her chin to her neck.
He gently bit her earlobe, causing her whole body to tremble slightly.
"Heng..." Gu Youran's voice trembled slightly, "Don't be like this, I still have to go to the competition..."
Shi Heng reluctantly let go of her, turned around and took out a gray cashmere coat from the wardrobe.
He helped Gu Youran put on her clothes, carefully adjusted her collar, and whispered, "It's cold outside, don't catch a cold."
Gu Youran looked at him, eyes full of tenderness, and nodded gently.
The two walked out of the hotel hand in hand.
The car sent by Fang Yu was already parked at the door.
The driver was waiting there early. When he saw them come out, he opened the car door respectfully.
Shi Heng pulled Gu Youran into the car.
Along the way, his palms were slightly sweaty.
However, the hand holding Gu Youran never relaxed at all.
Thirty minutes later.
The car drove directly into the "Xinglin Ancient Residence".
