Chapter 105 It’s nice to have someone to love you
Mu Junyan took Gu Huan to a villa outside the city.
Akabane and his several guards stood guard while the Black Armored Army all retreated back to the barracks.
Gu Huan was held in Mu Junyan's arms the whole time. She leaned on his warm chest in a daze and let him carry her into the room.
It was not until I was put on the bed that I realized this was a strange place.
"This is?"
"This is one of my villas." Mu Junyan spread out her hand and found that her palm was cut by a dagger.
"It will hurt to apply the medicine, just bear with it."
Gu Huan nodded.
Mu Junyan sprinkled hemostatic powder on the palm of her hand. She gasped in pain and her fingertips couldn't help but curl up.
Mu Junyan paused for a moment, looked at her, then took out the gauze and gently wrapped it around her.
“Don’t get wet.”
"Yeah." Gu Huan didn't dare to look up. With tears in her eyes, she tried to respond in a calm tone.
She wanted to hold back her tears, but when she thought of her tragic death in her previous life, the life-threatening experience she had just had, and how she almost implicated Mu Junyan because of her self-righteousness.
Gu Huan began to regret taking advantage of Mu Junyan and felt sorry for him.
She had endured too much grievance and complicated entanglements, and at this moment, the river was bursting its dam, and she couldn't stop her tears from falling.
She didn't want Mu Junyan to see her cowardice, so she covered her face with her hands.
Mu Junyan sighed softly, pulled her hands apart, put his big hands on the back of her head, and rested her head on his chest.
The girl's tears soon wet his clothes.
He let her cry for a long time. After she calmed down, Mu Junyan said softly, "Rest here tonight and go back home after you wake up tomorrow. I have sent someone to pick up your two maids and Shen Li."
He thought so carefully that Gu Huan couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat and tears started to fall.
It’s nice to have someone care about you.
Mu Junyan held her cold little hand: "Are you cold?"
Gu Huan nodded honestly: "A little bit."
Mu Junyan suddenly picked her up and walked out with big strides, which scared her. She cried out in surprise and quickly put her arms around his neck to steady herself.
"My Lord..."
Mu Junyan paused and looked at her: "Calling you Duke is too distant."
Gu Huan was stunned for a moment, her face flushed, she lowered her head and dared not look him in the eye, she obediently called out, "Master."
"Um."
Mu Junyan still seemed dissatisfied, but he didn't say anything else. He just carried the person away.
"There are no clothes for you here. Your maid will bring them when she comes."
Gu Huan didn't know what to say, so she could only remain silent and glance around quietly.
This is a very exquisite courtyard, with pavilions and towers everywhere, and there is a strange smell.
Turning left and right, passing through the corridor garden, rockery pavilion, and arriving at the backyard, Gu Huan finally understood what she smelled.
It turned out that the huge room deep in the backyard actually contained a hot spring pool.
The hot spring is a rectangular pool with an edge made of white marble, wooden frames around it, white gauze curtains hanging from it, and flying goose lanterns erected all around it. The soft light reflects the white mist rising from the surface of the pool, making it look like a dream.
"Soaking in a hot spring can help you get rid of fatigue and drive away the cold."
Mu Junyan learned from Chen Li that although Gu Huan looked like a normal person on the surface, she was actually very weak inside due to taking contraceptive soup and nourishing herbs for a long time.
The contraceptive soup tortured her to the point that she suffered from uterine coldness, cold hands and feet all year round, and prone to sweating.
He originally wanted to have Chen Li accompany her here to recuperate for a while after he left.
Today I see that she is too frightened, so why not bring her here to soak in the water to calm her down.
Mu Junyan put her on the ground and reached out to untie her belt.
She was still in costume.
Gu Huan frowned slightly.
A voice in her heart warned her not to seduce and use him again.
Mu Junyan keenly noticed her change, and immediately let go of her hand, looking down at her: "If you can do it yourself, I will go out."
Gu Huan took a step back and bowed to him respectfully: "My Lord, you have worked too hard today. I can do it."
Mu Junyan frowned and looked at her without moving.
Gu Huan had no choice but to bite the bullet and untie her belt.
Because she was in a hurry and worried that the loose costume would fall off, she tied two knots tightly.
When I untied the knot, I felt a stinging pain in my palms and my fingertips couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Mu Junyan was a little annoyed. He reached out and grabbed her belt and pulled her forward.
The petite girl pressed herself against his body and suddenly stiffened.
Mu Junyan didn't look at her. He pulled the belt hard, threw it on the ground, and then took off her outer costume.
Underneath was her ruqun. Mu Junyan untied the bow at the waistband of her ruqun with his hands, and the ruqun fell to the ground, piling up at her feet.
With only a tube top and panties left on her body, Gu Huan quickly whispered, "Master, I can do it."
Mu Junyan looked at her scrutinizingly.
It turned out that she was unwilling from the bottom of her heart.
In the past, flattery was all done to achieve a goal.
Mu Junyan never liked to force people to do things, so he took a step back and nodded, "Okay, I'll go get you some clothes to change into temporarily."
He took two steps and turned back: "Don't get your hands wet, otherwise, you'll have to reapply the medicine."
Thinking of the pain just now, Gu Huan's fingers trembled subconsciously: "Okay."
Gu Huan heaved a sigh of relief only after she could no longer see Mu Junyan.
The hot spring exudes waves of warmth, and Gu Huan also wants to take a bath in it to relieve fatigue and tension.
However, she didn't feel safe in the unfamiliar environment and didn't dare to take off all her clothes.
What's more, Mu Junyan just said that he would bring some clothes over.
She didn't know why, except when she was deliberately getting close to him, she would muster up the courage and abandon her sense of shame before letting go without caring about anything. But when the two of them were getting along seriously, she always felt ashamed.
After hesitating for a moment, he walked slowly up the stone steps into the hot spring pool.
She carefully placed her arms on the edge and let the warm spring water soak her body. Gradually, the coldness in her body dissipated and her tense spirit relaxed.
Really comfortable.
Gu Huan squinted her eyes, feeling the warmth surrounding her body.
I don’t know how long it had been when I suddenly heard footsteps. I woke up subconsciously and turned my head to see Mu Junyan hanging clothes in one hand and holding a lunch box in the other.
Gu Huan subconsciously retracted her hand and her whole body sank into the water.
Mu Junyan walked closer, glanced at her hands retracted into the water, and sighed silently.
I told her not to get her hands wet, but now she just put them directly into the water.
Moreover, he went into the water wearing underwear.
Is this because she is afraid that he will see her body?
"There are only my clothes here. You got your clothes wet. What are you going to wear when you come up here?"
Gu Huan was stunned.
A fair face suddenly turned red.
After spending some time with her, she was still cautious in front of him.
Mu Junyan felt helpless.
The little girl's thoughts were really hard to figure out, and he didn't want to force her, even if it was for her own good.
He placed the clothes in his hands on the chaise longue beside him, put down the food box, squatted down and looked at her.
"Without small clothes and pants, you must be very uncomfortable wearing my big robe, right?"
Gu Huan imagined the scene and her face turned even redder. She was at a loss as to what to do.
Moreover, she felt that he was blaming her.
Seeing her expression, Mu Junyan didn't know whether she was shy or really didn't want to take off her clothes in front of him, so he didn't want to force her.
"Are you hungry? They cooked some millet porridge. They are all rough men who have been on the march and fighting, and they don't know how to make fine food. There is some millet saved here, so they cooked some. It's just right, drink a bowl to warm your stomach."
Gu Huan could only nod obediently.
But he squatted motionless by the pool, staring at her, his clothes and pants sticking to his body, how could she have the nerve to go up to him?
Mu Junyan didn't say anything. He opened the food box and stirred the still hot millet porridge with a spoon.
The two of them were like this, one squatting by the pool stirring the porridge, and the other standing in the pool stupidly, not knowing what to do.
