Chapter 297 You Don’t Want to Marry Me
He wore a troubled expression, his furrowed brows filled with anxiety and hesitation. "I don't know if you can grasp this, nor do I know if there will be other variables. But judging by your style of play, perhaps it all depends on your decision."
This is why Junyi decided to confess to her. It's not wrong to follow the rules, but in a life-or-death situation, the "divine hand" that can turn the tide is needed.
He closed his eyes slightly, as if finally making up his mind to take a gamble without hesitation. He said in a deep voice, "This natural disaster has a source. Eight thousand miles west, deep in the snowy mountains lies the drought-causing beast Fei Yi. In the heart of the Central Plains lies the flood-causing beast Chang You. Another four hundred miles west is the war-causing beast Zhu Yan. If we can cut off the source of this disaster, we can stop the natural disaster."
The amount of information was seriously excessive, and Gu Nan could hardly believe his ears. Chunyi actually had a permanent solution.
Gu Nan was so excited that he almost leaned over him. As soon as he stopped talking, he grabbed his hand and asked urgently, "Where is the plague? Where is the source of the plague?"
"It lives on Mount Tai, facing the shade and death, and cannot be killed."
Gu Nan sat back down, feeling somewhat disappointed, but still said cheerfully, "Alright, alright, this way a lot of people won't die."
Junyi couldn't help but remind him, "You might die too."
"I'm not afraid of death." Gu Nan held his hand tightly, her eyes and eyebrows glowing with sudden joy. "Junyi, you know."
What's more, she also has a system, and the glimmer of hope that Junyi calculated should refer to the system.
Mission accomplished, Gu Nan retired. Mission failed, Gu Nan did not regret coming here.
The palm of the hand held in her hand was broad and hot. In order to embroider the wedding dress, the calluses between the fingertips had been finely rubbed, revealing the soft flesh wrapped around it. It was sensitive and fragile, and would easily cause more wounds if not paid attention.
Just like the trust he placed in her with all his heart, once he fulfilled her wish, he was bound to get hurt.
Junyi didn't want her to die and felt that she shouldn't die, but she was determined to die no matter what the outcome was.
For a moment, Gu Nan felt a pang of pain in her heart, as if a hand was twisting her heart and making her breathless. She lowered her head and gently rubbed her cheek against his palm, "Thank you."
It is very unfair for someone who is used to being strong to suddenly show weakness.
Junyi didn't expect Gu Nan's action and subconsciously wanted to pull his hand back, but Gu Nan held it too tightly and he didn't dare to use too much force, so that the tips of his five fingers seemed to be burned by flames and twitched slightly under the burning sensation.
They had hugged and kissed many times in the watchtower and were familiar with each other's voices and appearances when they were aroused, but at this moment, it was still difficult to resist the impact of the cold soul in their palms.
The twitching gradually turned into spasms, and the hand was completely out of his control.
He couldn't move, the soft flesh on his fingertips that had been rubbed every day was unwilling to resist, and he longed for the softer and gentler, rare affection.
Chunyi lowered her eyes and looked at Gu Nan's profile. For some reason, her eyes felt a little hot.
It was as if I saw a proud big cat deliberately exposing its belly to its beloved dried fish, rolling around in a coquettish manner and telling it to remember how I look like now, this is its repayment.
"Junyi." Gu Nan called.
Chunyi opened her mouth to speak, but found her throat was too dry, so she only said softly, "Hmm."
"You're good in everything except keeping things to yourself. Sooner or later, you'll suffer a great loss."
"Yeah."
"Yes, listen to me. You must keep your mouth shut when you do good things in the future." Gu Nan said as he changed his position and leaned on his legs. His lips moved across his palm, as if he was giving a cold kiss. "Junyi, I have a question for you."
"Do we have to get married?"
Junichi froze, "What?"
People who practice cultivation have sharp ears and eyes. She knew that he had heard it clearly, so she did not repeat herself and waited patiently for his answer.
Chunyi looked down at Gu Nan, her imposing phoenix eyes staring at her without blinking, as if she wanted to see some strange clues from her expression.
But she didn't look at him. She leaned quietly on his legs, one hand holding his palm and the other hand on his knee, just looking at the soybean oil lamp on the table that was about to go out.
"You don't want to marry me?" he asked.
Gu Nan sighed softly. He had known the answer for a long time, but when he heard it, he still felt a little powerless.
If it were Chunyi eight months ago, he would definitely have said sternly: "You have to think about it even if you don't want to after signing the contract." Because at that time, his heart was thinking about transcending the tribulation and becoming a Buddha, and Gu Nan was just a tool to help him.
But now it’s different. Junyi gradually fell in love with her, so his first reaction was to be at a loss, and then he unknowingly handed the initiative to her.
Before tonight, Gu Nan would definitely answer without hesitation: I want to.
The double-door 192-square-meter abstinent husband, even if they can't be a real couple, it's still a pleasure to wear wedding clothes and get married in the hall.
But Junyi chose to fulfill her courageous act of throwing herself into the fire, and she couldn't bear it.
Chunyi is different from Lin Jingchun and Qi Yan. In order to become a Buddha, he devotes himself to hard practice and strives to cut off cause and effect. He has no relatives or friends and no ties. Gu Nan is his deepest love affair.
This era is also different from that of more than two hundred years later. It has backward productivity, scarce entertainment, and a sea of suffering everywhere. The long and lonely time can easily pull people down from the clouds.
The most important point is that Junyi likes her, but is still willing to let go for her.
Whether he did it just for her, or for becoming a Buddha or for the people, the reward was heavy enough.
"Why do you take so long to think about it? Is this question difficult to answer?" Chunyi asked, his voice as calm and steady as ever, and he didn't seem as panicked as Gu Nan had imagined.
Gu Nan came back to his senses and looked up.
Chunyi lowered her brows and eyes, her appearance solemn, only the upturned corners of her eyes added a bit of evil. He raised his broad palm and covered her head, and the astonishing heat continued to flow into her body.
"We have a contract, have you forgotten?"
The original contract was so harsh that if it was broken, the avenue would collapse and the soul would be scattered. Even Gu Nan couldn't break the contract.
Gu Nan looked at him blankly. At this moment, Chunyi suddenly became very powerful and imposing. There seemed to be a strange emotion surging in the depths of his drooping eyes.
"What are you thinking about?" Junyi leaned over, staring at her with his phoenix eyes.
Gu Nan was shocked and finally realized something was wrong.
This, this, this, isn't this the same look she had when she peeked at him taking a shower that night?
There is murderous intent in Chunyi's eyes!
Gu Nan turned around and tried to leave, but Chunyi grabbed the back of her head and at the same time grabbed her wrist with one hand and pulled her into his arms.
He tilted his head to sniff her hair, touching it quietly, like some large cat.
Gu Nan pushed him.
I thought I couldn't push it open, but who would have thought it would fall down when I pushed it. The tall body fell off the chair with a dull and ambiguous crash.
But at the moment she fell down, she was still holding Gu Nan's hand tightly, so at the moment when Chunyi groaned.
She saw clearly his slightly raised neck and his rolling Adam's apple completely exposed to the air, showing a look of both obsession and fragility.
