Chapter 69 Chapter 69 Farewell Kiss (Zhao Rong)
"Lingchuan..."
Just when she was about to kiss Qin Sizhao's lips, Gu Shi's voice came from outside the door.
He didn't say anything else, just called her name, but this short sentence was enough to scare her so much that she stepped back and regained her senses.
Lingchuan realized that she almost made a big mistake. Her heart was pounding and she covered her chest with her hands, still in fear. Fortunately, she did not take the last step.
"I'm sorry, you forgot about me..."
She said timidly, lowering her head in shame. How could she do such an irrational thing...
She shouldn't have seduced him. Qin Sizhao saved her out of their childhood friendship and her mother's kindness to him. Now that he saved her life, they are even and have no more ties in this life.
It was time to say goodbye, she shouldn't let him think about it anymore.
When she was thirteen or fourteen, she was just a tomboy. How could Qin Sizhao, who was a year younger than her, have any thoughts about her in terms of sex?
She thought about it and felt that he had never been in love before and knew nothing about it. His feelings for her might not be romantic. She was being too greedy and unreasonable.
The more Lingchuan thought about it, the more ashamed she felt. Suddenly, her chin felt hot, and the little teardrop mole suddenly came into her sight. Qin Sizhao's face instantly magnified countless times.
His warm and soft lips unfamiliarly covered hers, and his other hand was on her back, holding her tighter.
Qin Sizhao held her chin and kissed her bluntly and a little recklessly.
Fortunately, she didn't put rouge on her lips just now... Tao Jinrong felt that his rationality was confused and he was in a state of confusion. He didn't know what was going on in the world.
"I'm sorry, this is the only thing I can't promise you."
It was unknown how long it was before Qin Sizhao let her go and said to her with a slight smile.
His cheeks were pink, extending all the way to the tips of his ears, like a pink cloud. His eyes were wet as he looked at her lovingly, his eyes filled with indescribable emotions.
There was a black line on his cheek, which was the eyebrow she had just drawn with indigo, and it accidentally rubbed against his face.
She was stunned and couldn't come back to her senses. She just covered her lips with a handkerchief, trying to keep the kiss.
Tears suddenly broke out and flowed out of my eyes.
Qin Sizhao sat in front of the mirror and used his sleeve to wipe off the indigo stuck on his face to make sure that he looked normal.
He reached out and wiped away her tears.
"Rong'er, see you again if fate allows."
He took the initiative and kissed her forehead, looked at her tenderly for the last time, turned around and left without looking back.
Gu Shi was standing outside. When he saw Qin Sizhao coming out, he hurried in and the two passed each other.
Qin Sizhao packed his luggage, then lowered his head and used scissors to cut off the small piece of cloth for his sleeve into square pieces.
After cutting it, he unfolded the square indigo cloth. There was a dark blue stain on it. It was the indigo on Rong'er's eyebrows. He looked at it carefully against the light, folded it neatly as if it were a treasure, stuffed it into the sachet, and kept it close to his body.
There was no time to delay any longer. He had to quickly go to Qingjitang where doctors and pharmacists gathered.
Qin Sizhao set off without hesitation.
Gu Shi hurried into Lingchuan's room. He knew in his heart that she must be in a bad mood, so he didn't say anything to upset her.
She lay in bed, the translucent curtains drawn, her head covered with the quilt, and said nothing. Gu Shi sat on a chair, not bothering her, but just quietly accompanying her.
Finally, Lingchuan coughed, and Gu Shi quickly handed the tea into the tent.
"The tea is a little cold. If you want hot tea, I'll have someone make another pot."
She really wasn't in the mood to talk to Gu Shi, so she took it, took a sip, and then handed the cup back to him.
When it was time for dinner, Gu Shi brought a palace-style dinner to the coffee table beside her bed. There were gold and silver steamed buns, bird's nest porridge and other foods on it, but she ignored them, as if she had no appetite at all.
"Lingchuan, I understand that you're having a hard time thinking straight, but you can't make yourself lose your appetite..."
Seeing that Lingchuan refused to eat, Gu Shi couldn't help feeling depressed.
Just because of Qin Sizhao, a wild man who was not even a handsome man, she made herself like this. It really made her husband angry when he saw it.
If he left, would Lingchuan also lose her appetite? Or would she have to beat drums and gongs and send him off joyfully?
He lifted her curtain and saw a tiny white hair on her temple. He gritted his teeth and regretted that this white hair was not born for him.
"Lingchuan, at least eat a little."
She glanced at the exquisite dishes on the coffee table, coughed twice and said:
"No appetite."
She buried her head in the quilt and said in a muffled voice:
"Gu Shi, don't worry about me. I'll just be a little awkward for a few days. It will be fine after this."
"But you're not feeling well right now, how can you not eat?"
Seeing that Lingchuan still refused to pay attention to him, he started to get upset.
"Why? You're a married woman, and you're regretting it over a random guy? He'll have a new life in a few years, marry a few wives and concubines, and he'll have forgotten who you are. Stop being so sentimental."
Seeing that she was absent-minded and at a loss, Gu Shi became more and more angry.
What the hell is this? It's ridiculous! Lingchuan was feeling lost because she broke up with her lover, and now it was her husband who had to coax her. I'm afraid you wouldn't find such a cowardly husband in the past five thousand years.
She wiped the tears from her face with her sleeve.
"Gu Shi, don't get me wrong. I don't have any feelings for him in that way. I just feel guilty. He used to be the top scholar with a bright future, but now, in order to save me, his future has been ruined and he can't even become an official."
She frowned and lied sincerely:
"It was clearly me who slipped and fell that day, but I was fine in the end. Instead, it caused him to lose his position as an official. I just felt guilty towards him. There was no such thing as love between a man and a woman."
"Was it really an accident when you fell into the pool that day?"
He knocked cautiously from the side, fearing deep down that she was seeking death.
"It was really an accident. Don't worry, no one pushed me from behind."
Lingchuan sighed.
He looked at her eyes carefully and felt that she did not seem to be lying, so Gu Shi breathed a sigh of relief without leaving a trace.
Lingchuan wasn't the type of woman who would fall in love with someone out of guilt just because they were nice to her. He felt her words made sense.
A weasel ran into the house, so just chase it out. There's no need to destroy the whole house because of such a small incident. It's already very good that Lingchuan is still willing to be with him and give birth to a child for him. He should be more generous.
A silver light flashed in his sleeves. Gu Shi opened his eyes wide, smiled triumphantly, and looked at Lingchuan as if he was presenting a treasure.
"Guess what's up my sleeve?"
Without waiting for Lingchuan to speak, he impatiently took out the silver hairpin and handed it to Lingchuan with both hands.
"It's the hairpin and knife my mother gave me..."
Lingchuan's pale face finally showed a hint of joy, but looking at the gleaming silver hairpin, she felt a sense of guilt in her heart...
Gu Shi looked at her with relief. She finally got off the bed, faced the mirror, and put the hairpin back on her head with trembling fingers.
She noticed that her right eyebrow was fuzzy, so she wet the handkerchief with rose water and gently removed all the indigo from her eyebrow.
After her makeup faded, Lingchuan looked at her haggard self in the mirror in a daze. Her pointed inner corners of her eyes were drooping downwards, her eyes were full of coldness, and her eyelids were red and swollen from crying.
Her eyebrows were drawn for Qin Sizhao.
Her shoulders felt hot. It was Gu Shi standing behind her, with his hands on her shoulders.
"Lingchuan, let's sleep together tonight."
He rested his chin on her neck, inviting her stickily.
"Didn't the doctor tell us not to have sex for a year? Please use your hand."
Lingchuan was in a bad mood and turned his face away.
"That's not what I'm talking about! Sleeping together is just sleeping together, I don't do anything else."
Gu Shi frowned and retorted dissatisfiedly.
"Lingchuan, why do you always think of me like this? In your eyes, I only care about my lower body? Do you think I can't control myself?"
He took out a clean handkerchief and poured rose water on it to wet it. He pinched Lingchuan's chin with one hand and wiped her lips vigorously with the other hand, sneering:
"Humph, do you think I don't know what you two did? I just turned a blind eye because I saw you were so sick and pitiful, and he couldn't defeat me anyway. Do you really think I'm a fool?"
Lingchuan frowned and pushed his hand away, but she didn't know that she had just cried. Even without makeup, she looked very pitiful in Gu Shi's eyes.
He really hated Lingchuan for not crying for him, so he lifted her hair and bit her neck to vent his anger.
Gu Shi smelled a faint fragrance on her body. He had indeed been single for quite some time. This fragrance was like a kitten stretching out its furry claws and scratching his heart, instantly making him horny.
He was both lusty and angry at her, so he simply grabbed both of her wrists with one hand and pressed her against the dressing table.
The mirror reflected a pair of eyes dominated by desire.
He forcibly pinched her chin, pried open her teeth, and kissed her, his tongue plundering her mouth wantonly, as if marking his own territory.
Her pale lips were swollen from being kissed, forcing all her deficient energy and blood to be mobilized. Lingchuan made two barely audible sounds, but they fell firmly into Gu Shi's ears.
A hint of red appeared on her sickly, sunken cheeks, and her lips were kissed until they were shiny.
"Lingchuan..."
He looked at her lips, unable to bear it any longer, and bit them hard.
"Guess what I'm going to do?"
