Chapter 73 Sunshine, Flowers, You and I, We will be intertwined for eternity...
It must be said that the ointment, which was taught by Hu Feiwei, had an immediate effect. Qi Baitong diligently applied the ointment every day, and the fragrance was so strong that it attracted butterflies in the valley, which amused Gu Shanyue for quite a while.
After the scabs fell off his new wounds, there were almost no scars left.
In the past few days, Gu Shanyue has been unable to see Qi Baitong. As soon as his injuries healed, he disappeared.
"Do you see the white tung tree?"
Mao Hong'er was squatting by the door brushing her teeth when she heard this, and shook her head vigorously like a rattle drum: "I didn't see it."
Gu Shanyue walked forward, and Bai Zhen was picking herbs: "Oh, out looking for your lover?"
"Do you see the white tung tree?"
"They went that way," Bai Zhen pointed in a direction.
Gu Shanyue walked over, feeling relaxed and carefree in the autumn breeze carrying the fragrance of flowers.
Further on, under the flower trellis, Hu Feiwei was squinting as he read a letter. Gu Shanyue tiptoed closer and quietly peeked over.
"You little brat, who gave you permission to peek!" Hu Feiwei jumped up, his beard twitching, glaring at Gu Shanyue.
"Who wrote the letter? It's so long!" Gu Shanyue asked casually.
Hu Fei snorted, "That kid Xi Feng wrote it, so long-winded!"
Despite saying that, she folded the letter paper very carefully.
Gu Shanyue suddenly remembered: "Didn't he say he was going back to Wanhua Butterfly Valley? Where has he gone?"
Hu Fei stroked his beard and laughed, looked around, and whispered, "He runs away when Bai Zhen is around, and he'll run away again when he comes back. They fight as soon as they meet."
Just as Gu Shanyue was about to ask why, the answer had already surfaced in her mind. She clicked her tongue twice and said, "By the way, did you see Qi Baitong?"
Hu Fei pointed forward: "Over there."
Gu Shanyue continued walking, until she reached the hillside where flowers were in full bloom.
The sun was shining brightly, birds were chirping, butterflies were fluttering, and a small house had appeared on the hillside at some unknown time. Flowers and vines clung tightly to the wood, making it look like a colorful flower house.
The door opened.
Qi Baitong walked out and smiled gently at her: "You've come."
Gu Shanyue tilted her head and looked at him: "No wonder I haven't seen you these past few days. What are you doing here building houses?"
Qi Baitong took her hand, and the two sat down side by side.
“The houses in the valley were all built by other people. I want to build a house for us.”
"Have you covered it up yet?"
Gu Shanyue leaned against his shoulder. The warm sunlight baked her, making her face and hands feel hot. The grass and flowers had a slightly cool touch, gently brushing against her hands in the wind. It was very comfortable to sit like this.
Qi Baitong took her hand, gently kissed it with his warm lips, and invited her, "It's covered up now, would you like to come in?"
Gu Shanyue said matter-of-factly, "Of course I have to go in. What you built is mine."
Qi Baitong pulled Gu Shanyue into the small house. Above them was a large skylight, letting in plenty of sunlight. Under their feet was a thick, soft blanket, with a few small flowers peeking out from the edge of the blanket, swaying gently.
Sunshine, gentle breeze, flowers, you and me—all are in this little house.
“I’m ready, A-Yue.”
Qi Baitong released Gu Shanyue's hand, stood facing her, stared intently at her, and spoke in a strained voice.
Gu Shanyue smiled lazily, then threw herself into his arms. Qi Baitong opened his arms to catch her, sighing, "A-Yue."
“You seem very nervous,” Gu Shanyue looked up at him, patted his bottom, and laughed playfully, “How can this scare me?”
Qi Baitong was tense all over; he was indeed extremely nervous.
They were already very close, like husband and wife, and knew each other very well.
But when he finished building the little house with all his love, and saw her walking leisurely toward him from afar, his heart still started pounding uncontrollably, as restless as a spring bud.
Even with the bright moon in his arms, he still felt uneasy; he was so happy he didn't know what to do.
"Ah Yue," Qi Baitong's eyes were red, and although she hadn't been drinking, she seemed drunk, "Let me kiss you, okay?"
Gu Shanyue touched the tips of his trembling eyelashes with her fingers, like a frantic butterfly flapping its wings, bringing a ticklish sensation to her fingertips.
She laughed, hooking her arms around his neck. Qi Baitong lowered his head following her pull, his dark eyes burning brightly as if washed clean, quietly gazing at her.
His quietness always suppressed a restless desire, a restraint that was taken to the extreme.
Gu Shanyue gave him a quick kiss on the corner of his mouth, grinning mischievously: "Just a kiss?"
Qi Baitong's breath brushed against her cheek, his eyes filled with passion, yet he only gently pecked her face with kisses, one after another, like a continuous hot rain, carrying a damp and humid feeling.
"Not only that, I'm very greedy."
The intervals between his kisses on her cheeks grew shorter and shorter, and he held Gu Shanyue tightly around the waist, like reeds clinging to each other in the wind.
Gu Shanyue smiled and went up to kiss him.
Under the bright sunlight, her lips were cool and soft. Qi Baitong's breathing gradually became rapid, and the kisses were intense and relentless, like a wolf whose collar had been released, helpless yet excited.
Sunlight streamed in obliquely through the skylight, falling directly on the moon's surface over Gushan.
She tilted her head back, her cheeks slightly pink, and her eyelashes were golden.
Qi Baitong let out a low moan, pressed down on her wrist, lowered his head to kiss her warm eyes, and stroked her golden eyelashes, completely infatuated.
Gu Shanyue closed her eyes and let him kiss her, her hand on his shoulder gently pinching his burning earlobe, and then lazily tugging at his clothes.
The clothes that used to be impossible to tear open can now be easily pulled loose, revealing most of his chest, his muscles undulating, his skin as white as jade, with a spreading pink flush.
Gu Shanyue felt the warmth of his chest touch her cool palm, and when she opened her eyes, they lit up.
Qi Baitong kissed her from the corner of her eye downwards, little by little.
"Is it still ugly now that the scar is gone?"
He placed her hand on the spot where his heart was pounding, letting her feel his intense, uncontrollable heartbeat.
"Not ugly, never ugly."
Gu Shanyue's fingertips slid across Qi Baitong's reddened Adam's apple. Qi Baitong breathed even more heavily, deftly throwing off his half-fallen robe, letting Gu Shanyue's gaze fall on him and scan him at will.
Her physique is perfect, with smooth lines.
It seems that locking himself in every night and secretly applying the medicine is quite effective.
Gu Shanyue clung to him, smiling, "Aren't you afraid I'll see now?"
Do you enjoy watching it?
Qi Baitong raised his flushed, passionate eyes and looked at her like a believer gazing at a god.
Gu Shanyue pressed her finger against his thin lips: "I like it, I love watching it."
The two of them fell onto the soft blanket, surrounded by the fragrance of grass and trees, and the bright sunshine. Qi Baitong was a little dog.
Her puppy.
Gu Shanyue was confused and infatuated, while Qi Baitong's eyes were wet and red: "A-Yue, do you like me?"
If she says she likes him, he'll go crazy.
He'll go crazy if she says she doesn't like it.
Gu Shanyue could only pull his hair to express her dissatisfaction, but Qi Baitong liked it that way.
He wanted to put his hand to Gu Shanyue's mouth so she could bite it and vent her anger.
Did he think she wouldn't dare to bite?
Gu Shanyue bit his knuckle hard, and Qi Baitong encouraged her, hoping that she would bite him until he bled and leave a permanent mark on him.
It was as if only in this way could she prove that he was hers.
He's always like this; he's the most well-behaved little madman.
The two fooled around until night, when the sun slowly slanted westward, the light becoming dim and warm, and then gradually darkening.
Insects chirped, the moonlight was clear and bright, cascading down like water, making the grass and wildflowers swaying in the breeze gentle and tranquil.
Gu Shanyue nestled in Qi Baitong's arms, playfully pinching his earlobe.
Qi Baitong held Gu Shanyue in his arms, the two of them pressed together warmly. He was so happy that he was dizzy, and his reactions were a beat slower than usual.
"I don't think this has anything to do with taming; it's just about having fun. What do you think?"
Gu Shanyue looked up at him from his arms and asked him a question. Qi Baitong looked at her, grinned, and smiled foolishly.
"What are you laughing at?" Gu Shanyue pinched the teeth marks on his chest, and some blood seeped out. She frowned as she looked at it. "If others saw this, they would think I was bullying you."
She clearly didn't want to hurt him, but Qi Baitong was so excited that she wished Gu Shanyue would bite him hard, even until he bled, the deeper the better.
Gu Shanyue didn't understand, but she was willing to indulge her lover's little quirks.
He took such good care of her, she couldn't just do nothing, so she left him a few more marks to make him happy.
Qi Baitong smiled, lowered his head and kissed her: "I like it..."
Gu Shanyue: "...I'm starting to believe it now."
This "taming" thing is pretty weird. A perfectly normal person has gone mad. Luckily, it's Qi Baitong who's mad. He was already mad, so he shouldn't be too mad.
Qi Baitong buried his face in her cool hair and gently inhaled, "I'm yours now, you can never get rid of me again."
"You've been mine for a long time," Gu Shanyue snorted, glancing at the numerous red marks and wounds on his body. "You were so concerned about your scars before, you wouldn't let me see them, and now you've gotten all these injuries again after they've just healed. Aren't you afraid this time?"
“Don’t be afraid,” Qi Baitong raised his face, his nose brushing against her warm neck, his nose filled with her scent. He sighed, “I am yours, so the scars on my body should naturally be left by you. They are all marks.”
Gu Shanyue didn't quite understand: "What emblem?"
"It symbolizes that I belong to you."
Qi Baitong chuckled softly, kissing her ears and neck with a voice that was both incredibly gentle and filled with a passionate, infatuated madness.
"All of Qi Baitong is yours. I like it when you leave a mark on me, the deeper the better, so that we can be entangled together for eternity."
He once heard the people from the Imperial Guard say that birthmarks were scars from a previous life. The guards even laughed, saying that people like them would probably be covered in birthmarks in their next life.
If he had to be reincarnated with the scars from his past life, he would hope that all his scars came from Gu Shanyue.
He was completely marked by her, and he would follow her not only for this lifetime, but also for the next and the life after that.
The lacquered white tung tree's eyes were deep and dark, burning with an inextinguishable flame.
Burning with flames, he felt only pleasure.
Gu Shanyue hadn't thought of all that. She yawned and rubbed her eyes, saying, "Whatever, I'm sleepy."
Qi Baitong could roughly guess that Gu Shanyue would react this way. She was highly skilled and daring, and she was in perfect harmony with him.
He chuckled softly, "I'll carry you back."
Gu Shanyue nodded, relaxing as Qi Baitong helped her get dressed.
Qi Baitong carried Gu Shanyue through the flower-swaying valley. All around was quiet and still. Gu Shanyue nestled in his arms, her little face pressed against his chest, feeling warm and cozy inside.
Even though it was late at night, he felt that he had never experienced such bright weather in his life.
Gu Shanyue loved him, and everything about him was lovely.
