Chapter 245 Why don’t you wake me up?
The old lady's sharp rebuke caused Gu Yuexuan to moan softly. She twisted her head slightly on Tu Subo's back, as if looking for a safe haven.
This scene made the old lady even more furious.
Before she could raise her voice again in anger, Xi Lanfang hurried out of the room and said, "You're back just in time. The hangover soup is ready and has cooled. Tu Subo, quickly send her back to the bedroom so she can drink it, or she'll have an unbearable headache tomorrow."
As Xi Lanfang spoke, she poured hot water into the wooden basin and continued, "It's late, Bo'er, take Xuanxuan back to her room first. I'll bring the hot water over."
"Mom, I'm in trouble."
Tu Subo gently tilted his head and whispered to the restless Gu Yuexuan, saying with a smile, "Second Aunt, Third Aunt, you should all go to bed early. Leave the things here, I'll come get them later."
Turning his head, he saw Tu Su Minyang rubbing his sleepy eyes and peeking out from behind the door frame, so he added, "Tu Su Minyang, you should also go back to your room and sleep quickly."
He greeted everyone one by one, but ignored the old lady who was still angry.
Tu Subo carried Gu Yuexuan on his back, turned around and walked away steadily, leaving behind a room filled with silence and deep thought.
In the warm moment of falling night, Tu Suting had already fallen asleep peacefully, and the respected old grandfather also walked into the quiet bedroom after tasting the refreshing soup.
The old lady had always disliked joining in the hustle and bustle of the village, and today she chose to enjoy her leisure at home. However, when the old grandfather returned drunkenly, she had to put aside her leisure and take care of him personally.
Today, she rarely played the role of a waiter, but at this moment her face was full of anger and dissatisfaction.
Seeing Tu Subo carrying the already sleeping Gu Yuexuan into the house, the old lady became even more furious. She slammed the silk handkerchief in her hand onto the table with a crisp sound.
"How shameful!"
"The village heroes were drinking and having fun, so why did a young woman like her get involved? A man getting drunk might be forgivable, but she was completely drunk. Does she even have a trace of womanly virtue in her eyes?!"
The old lady's sharp rebuke caused Gu Yuexuan to moan softly. She twisted her head slightly on Tu Subo's back, as if looking for a safe haven.
This scene made the old lady even more furious.
Before she could raise her voice again in anger, Xi Lanfang hurried out of the room and said, "You're back just in time. The hangover soup is ready and has cooled. Tu Subo, quickly send her back to the bedroom so she can drink it, or she'll have an unbearable headache tomorrow."
As Xi Lanfang spoke, she poured hot water into the wooden basin and continued, "It's late, Bo'er, take Xuanxuan back to her room first. I'll bring the hot water over."
"Mom, I'm in trouble."
Tu Subo gently tilted his head and whispered to the restless Gu Yuexuan, saying with a smile, "Second Aunt, Third Aunt, you should all go to bed early. Leave the things here, I'll come get them later."
Turning his head, he saw Tu Su Minyang rubbing his sleepy eyes and peeking out from behind the door frame, so he added, "Tu Su Minyang, you should also go back to your room and sleep quickly."
He greeted everyone one by one, but ignored the old lady who was still angry.
Tu Subo carried Gu Yuexuan on his back, turned around and walked away steadily, leaving behind a room filled with silence and deep thought.
Tu Subo gently nudged Gu Yuexuan's jaw, as gentle as teasing a cat, his voice becoming softer: "Do you have a headache?"
Gu Yuexuan finally came back to her senses, shook her head gently, and replied in a muffled voice: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt much."
The night before, Tu Subo spared no effort to deliver his own sorghum wine to the village chief's family, and even went back home to bring two more jars.
This kind of wine, which is brewed purely from grains, is mellow without losing its purity. Even after getting drunk, the aftertaste is relatively long and will not make people too tormented.
Observing Gu Yuexuan's rosy cheeks, Tu Subo felt a little relieved, and the worries in his heart were slightly relieved.
Not long after he turned and left, he re-entered the room with a bowl of steaming hot soup. With a gentle scoop of his rough hands, he took Gu Yuexuan, who still wanted to continue resting, out of the bed.
The bowl, which was at the perfect temperature, rested gently against her lips. Gu Yuexuan sniffed it and wrinkled her nose slightly: "What's that smell?"
Tu Subo held her in his arms, his words naturally revealing a doting and coaxing tone: "This is a hangover soup. Mother got up before dawn and carefully prepared it."
"Drink some, or you won't wake up with a terrible headache."
Gu Yuexuan lazily stuck her head out and gently touched the edge of the bowl with her lips. Under Tu Subo's careful persuasion, she slowly drank most of the bowl of soup, and her eyes gradually became clear.
She took a deep breath, rubbed her cheeks with her hands, let out a long breath, and asked, "What time is it now? Why have I been sleeping until now?"
"Why didn't you wake me up?"
Tu Subo gently placed the bowl aside, picked up a wet handkerchief and gently wiped her face. He held her hand, sat down beside the bed and explained, "Who said I didn't wake you up?"
Gu Yuexuan narrowed her eyes suspiciously: "Did you really wake me up?"
"Yes."
Gu Yuexuan said without hesitation: "Impossible."
"How could I possibly continue sleeping if I was called?"
She had a clear understanding of her drinking habits. Even when drunk, she would at most just want to sleep, and would never fall into a deep sleep. Otherwise, she would not have had the courage to block all the wine for Tu Subo yesterday.
Listening to her solemn vows, Tu Subo paused for a moment before slowly speaking, "Do you really not remember the sound of my voice waking you up in the morning? At first light, I've called you countless times."
Gu Yuexuan's instinctive rebuttal was stuck in her throat. Tu Subo's tone became calmer: "Do you know how you reacted when I woke you up?"
A voice deep in her heart reminded Gu Yuexuan that this topic should be stopped in time, but often when emotions are out of control, words always take precedence over reason.
"What's the reaction?" Gu Yuexuan felt a flicker of annoyance as she finished her words. She was about to brake, but it was too late to stop this potentially unpleasant topic. Tu Subo's face flashed with a hint of nostalgia, and his expression was solemn with an indescribable heaviness.
He narrated softly, "You once told me not to bother you again, or you would throw me into the river and turn me into a fish blowing bubbles."
Gu Yuexuan's hand suddenly stopped on her cheek.
Tu Subo continued to immerse himself in his memories: "You also said I was too noisy and planned to hang me from the tallest tree at the entrance of the village."
"Or, dig a hole and hide me under the bed, or throw me into the cellar and turn me into a silent carrot."
"You even offered to rip out my tongue and gag me."
His memories echoed in the air. With a long sigh, he lowered his head and stared into Gu Yuexuan's flickering eyes, his smile seeming a little forced.
"Do you know how you wanted to shut me up?"
Gu Yuexuan swallowed dryly, her expression a little dull: "Sorry, I don't want to know at all."
Tu Subo lowered his head slightly, suppressing his smile, as if he didn't notice Gu Yuexuan's ears that had turned red with shame. He suddenly leaned closer and gently kissed her on the lips.
