Chapter 34: Hug and kiss in a corner where no one cares

The shadow play was very exciting, with the audience bursting into applause from time to time.

But I can't concentrate on my resignation.

Which man can remain calm and unperturbed when facing his sweetheart?

From time to time, he would take Nianxi's hand and hold it to play with it, or peel some pine nuts and feed them to her lips himself. He would always pay attention to whether the tea in her cup needed to be refilled, and would pick up a fan and fan her slowly for fear that she would feel suffocated.

Nian Xi turned around helplessly, "You did this on purpose, right?"

Gu Ci refused to admit it, "What did you say? I don't understand."

Nian Xi glanced around. The box they were in was on the westernmost side of the second floor, which was relatively hidden. The guests' attention was now focused on the audience, and it was dark all around, so no one would see them.

So she held Gu Ci's mouth in a blunt and rude manner and said, "You did it on purpose to disturb me."

Gu Ci has a very handsome appearance, and now with Nian Xi pulling his mouth, he looks both funny and good-looking.

He was not annoyed at all, his eyes were full of tenderness and doting, he just looked at Nian Xi with a smile on his face, without blinking.

In the past, he was the one who blushed when Nianxi teased him, but now the situation is reversed, and Nianxi often feels embarrassed unexpectedly.

For example, now, Nian Xi felt embarrassed by his stare and was about to let go of her hand, but he quickly grabbed her hand and bent down to kiss her.

"It's obviously you who's restless. Sitting there makes it hard for me to concentrate."

Xingyue and Xie Qiu had already walked out of the box with their heads down and smiling when Nianxi pinched Gu Ci's mouth.

Gu Ci really likes to stick with Nian Xi. He likes the sweet smell on her body, her charming and lively eyes, and he likes to be in close contact with her.

Even the most ordinary thing can become a wonderful and happy experience when done with her.

He had never liked a girl so seriously before, so much so that whenever he thought of her, his heart was filled with smiles.

Gu Ci hoped that Nian Xi would accompany him at all times, but he did not dare to show it too obviously.

He was not afraid of giving her too much of a burden.

When you like someone very much, you always become confused and worried about gains and losses.

Nianxi was moved by Gu Ci's look.

She couldn't describe what kind of look it was, she just felt it was as bright as broken gold, wrapped in all his love and tenderness.

As if possessed by a ghost, she kissed those eyes gently.

Then left.

However, the next moment, she was grabbed by the waist and sat in Gu Ci's arms, accepting his passionate kiss...

In a corner where no one was paying attention, they hugged and kissed passionately.

At the end, Nianxi felt her tongue was numb, and the tip of her tongue hurt a little when she drank tea.

It's crazy.

How dare they be so outrageous.

You have to know that the private room of a theater is not like a restaurant. The side for watching the show is completely open. As long as someone leans over, they can see what bad things they do.

Nianxi's heart was beating very fast.

In her previous life, Mrs. Pei was used to following the rules, but now she found that she actually liked the feeling of being free and uninhibited.

Very exciting and happy.

To be loved with all your heart.

The shadow play came to an end with thunderous applause all around. When the lights came on, Gu Ci whispered softly in her ear, "Nian'er, I like you very much."

…

The tile market in Zhong'an Bridge is the most bustling and prosperous place in the whole of Kyoto, with its tile houses, restaurants and inns, which are both elegant and dignified.

Coming out of the theater, Nian Xi leaned against the car window and looked out, only to see a sea of ​​bright lights winding into the depths of the bustling city.

Xie Qiu drove the carriage, and the carriage moved slowly forward.

When passing by a brothel, Nianxi saw prostitutes dressed in gorgeous colors, waving at the door, or walking into the hall with men they knew. If you look closely, you can see that the men's hands are on the ladies' buttocks...

Gu Ci had been looking outside with Nian Xi. Seeing this, he quietly lowered the bamboo curtain and said, "Don't pollute your eyes with the black smoke and miasma."

Although Nianxi was a little embarrassed, she was still interested. She even saw two men hugging each other just now, but before she could see clearly what was going on, she was interrupted by Gu Ci.

Nian Xi asked, "Do you, the people from the Five Cities Military Department, often go in and out of the prison?"

The Five Cities Military Command is now in charge of the security of the capital. After Gu resigned as the deputy commander of the North City, he must have visited places like this quite a lot.

Gu Ci said in a serious tone, as if he could not be offended, "I have never been involved in prostitution."

This is a rare clear stream.

This area of ​​fences is connected, one after another, with carriages rumbling past, and from time to time one can hear ambiguous and wanton sounds outside the curtains.

Gu Ci Buxiangxi heard this and started talking about himself, "You also know my family. My father and two brothers are far away in the northern border. It is rare for me to see them on weekdays, let alone teach them. My mother was afraid that I would be seduced into bad studies, so she warned me not to go in or out of these places since I was young."

Seeing that Nianxi was indeed curious and stopped looking out the window, he continued:

"There are also times when my mother has taught me to stick to the bottom line and not associate with those prostitutes. My mother always said that women take care of their parents-in-law and raise their children at home, and they work hard. If a man does not sympathize with them and instead is fickle and sleeps with other women, then he is heartless."

Nian Xi's mind moved.

In her previous life, she had never given birth. Countless people had given women to Pei Jian in order to curry favor with him, but he was like a saint and remained calm.

Nianxi had always thought that Pei Jian was keeping his chastity for Xu Wanxin because of her. Unexpectedly, this was also due to the teachings of his mother, Lady Wang.

Mrs. Wang is truly a woman who understands the big picture.

She could understand the difficulties women face, and taught her children to be kind to her wife, unlike her cousin Mu's mother-in-law who only wanted to torture the bride.

Such a good lady like Mrs. Wang did not end up with a good ending.

"My brother told me that the imperial court is recruiting soldiers and collecting food supplies to attack Northern Liang in winter. Is the general leading the army, my Lord?"

"The commander is my father."

Nian Xi carefully considered her words, "I heard that Beiliang has suffered disasters year after year, and the people are starving and dying everywhere. So this time, we will definitely win a great victory, right?"

Gu Ci asked, "Why are you suddenly interested in this?"

Nian Xi smiled and pointed at the prosperous fireworks outside the curtain, "I just feel that the peace and prosperity of Dajing was all achieved by the Duke of Zhenguo, the two generals, and tens of thousands of soldiers."

Gu Ci patted her head and said, "Don't worry, everything will be fine. My family has been stationed in the north for generations, and no one knows the enemy better than my father. In this battle, we will be fully prepared and kill the enemy with one blow."

When Nian Xi heard this, her heart felt cold.

She finally understood what Pei Jian meant by the hardship he had talked about that day.

It's like a predetermined fate, watching it approach the turning point of destiny, and no matter how hard you struggle, you can't escape the helplessness.

"Are you sleepy?"

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Gu Ci said softly, "The carriage will take a while. If you feel tired, just lean on me and sleep first. I'll call you when I'm here."

As he said this, he held Nianxi in his arms to make her feel more comfortable.

Nian Xi's mind was in a mess, and she leaned into Gu Ci's arms.

For the first time, I felt lost and at a loss about my rebirth.
