Chapter 71 I will never abandon you for Pei Jian

Gu Ci brought a horse to Quzuo Paddock.

It is a mare about two years old, just the right age, with shiny red fur, a long neck and strong limbs. It is a rare horse, and its body is small, suitable for women to ride.

The first time Gu Ci saw the horse, he felt that Nianxi would definitely like it.

This was the thousand-mile horse he had asked someone to find a long time ago. Not long ago, his second brother encountered one in the northern border and sent it back to him.

Along with the delivery were a number of fur goods, all in bright colors suitable for young women.

The two elder brothers said in their letters that once they had defeated Northern Liang and pushed the Liang people all the way to the north of the Taitan Mountains, their family might not have to guard the northern border all year round.

The Zhenguogong Mansion can also be reunited.

The second brother also said in the letter that when he returned, he would go to Gu Ci in person to welcome the bride and watch his new bride enter the house.

Gu Ci knew that Nianxi had always been concerned about the war in the north, and would ask if he was safe from time to time. Although he didn't know why she was so concerned, he just took it as proof that she cared about her family.

He couldn't wait to share the good news about his family with her. And this horse, she would ride it every day in the paddock, and she would definitely be happy to have a good horse.

So he came with great joy.

Nianxi really likes this red horse.

Compared to the previous snow-walking, it was smarter. After feeding it a few handfuls of tender wheat, it recognized its master and became very affectionate with her.

"Did you send it here specially?" Nian Xi tilted her head and looked at Gu Ci.

Gu Ci was silent today. His eyes, which used to be as bright as stars, were now covered with a layer of gloom, and his smile seemed a bit forced.

But he couldn't bear to ignore her and nodded in agreement.

Nian Xi sighed inwardly, handed the horse to the servant beside her, walked up to Gu Ci, and looked up at him.

"Angry?"

Gu Ci did not meet her eyes, turned his head away, and said in a muffled voice, "No."

Nian Xi followed him and took a step sideways, then stood back in his sight and continued, "You refused to smile at me, you're obviously angry."

There was no way to refuse, so I could only force a fake smile.

Nian Xi burst out laughing, "Ugly!"

He glanced at her dismissively, shut his mouth, and refused to smile again.

Nian Xi took another step forward, and the two of them were even closer. She looked up and spoke softly, "When I was about to come to the enclosure, you asked me to think of you, and I did, but you seemed to break your promise and didn't think of me at all."

How to turn the tables? The fire in the furnace is pure green.

Gu Ci really couldn't stand being provoked, and couldn't keep up his cold and deep attitude. He kept saying, "If I didn't miss you, I wouldn't have been so obsessed with sending you a horse, and even exchanged shifts with my subordinates just to accompany you for two days. But you..."

But you seem to not need my company at all.

Nian Xi: "Are you vicious to me?"

Gu Ci was confused by her aggrieved look and immediately said, "When did I hurt you? I didn't..."

But when he met Nian Xi's cunning eyes, he knew she was teasing him again, so he refused to coax her anymore.

Nian Xi reached out and touched Gu Ci's cheek, gently caressing his skin, her eyes moving and her words gentle, "I was just teasing you with those words just now, but I think you really mean it."

Gu Ci's heart was beating wildly, and he almost wanted to indulge in her tender words.

The girl was in her prime, so fresh, bright and lovely. When she looked up at him, she stretched out her snow-white neck, as delicate as the young buds of daffodils.

In the gentle town and the tomb of heroes, he has been intoxicated and does not want to wake up.

Gu Ci thought, as long as she was willing to smile at him, as long as she was willing to be close to him, as long as he could still hold her hand at any time, what else did it matter?

He regained his former gentleness, covered Nianxi's hand that was caressing his face, and said seriously, "I miss you too."

Gu Ci was wearing a rain-stained blue robe today. He was tall and handsome. His azure blue robe reflected a pair of gentle and tolerant eyes, like spring flowers falling in the ripples of water, with a power that could dissolve ice.

Nian Xi looked at him, "How long did you stand on the platform just now?"

Gu Ci froze and tried to withdraw his hand. "I was waiting for you there. If I stood higher, I could see you earlier."

Nian Xi was quick to grab his hand and asked, "Did you see everything?"

Gu Ci looked at the endless grasslands and jungles in the distance, "... Yeah."

Nianxi continued to ask him, "Don't you have anything to ask me?"

Gu Ci was silent for a long time before he turned to look into Nianxi's eyes. "I had a lot of questions at first, but then I didn't want to ask anymore."

He even regretted his recklessness.

Maybe he should have told Nianxi in advance before coming, instead of giving her a surprise.

He wished he had never seen the scene just now, where Pei Jian was standing with her.

Tears welled up in Nianxi's big eyes. "Why are you so stupid?"

"Maybe. Since I met you, I have done all the stupid things in the world." Gu Ci smiled, with a hint of tenderness and helplessness in his tone. "As long as you are willing, I want to do stupid things for the rest of my life."

But I am afraid that one day you will no longer want me to do anything for you.

Nian Xi was stunned for a moment.

What woman doesn't want to be cherished?

What's more, I cherish it so much without reservation and even to the bottom line.

Initially, she just wanted to use him to heal her past wounds, fill the endless emptiness in her heart, and prove that she was not that bad and still had the ability to be loved.

But Gu Ci was too good and gave her too much love.

"Why are you crying for no reason?"

Gu Ci gently wiped away the tears that kept flowing from the corners of her eyes. Seeing that she couldn't stop crying, he sighed softly, held her in his arms, stroked her slender back and waist, and rocked her gently, as if he was treating an innocent child.

He whispered softly in her ear, "Who wouldn't like a girl like you? It's not your fault that others like you. Stop crying, I'm not angry, and I don't blame you."

At this moment, the world seemed to be quiet. Only the wind blowing past my ears, bringing the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, and his overflowing tenderness.

"Resign..."

Her voice came from his arms, but Gu Ci couldn't hear it clearly. He took her out of his arms a little, lowered his eyebrows, and replied to her, "Yeah."

Nian Xi said solemnly, "I will never, never abandon you for Pei Jian."

If they ever separate, it won't be because of anyone but themselves.

The girl's eyes were as clear as water, she had just cried, and there was still a little red at the corners of her eyes, but they were as bright as a sea of ​​stars, almost drowning you.

Gu Ci hummed again and pulled her back into his arms, burying his head in her neck and wrapping his arms around her willow-like waist.

In such a loving and affectionate moment, no one needs to say a word.

Amidst the silence, there was a surge of emotion between the two of them.

until--

"Resignation?"

"Um."

"You hurt me."

"……good."

He relaxed his embrace slightly, but only slightly. Nian Xi felt his two arms wrapped around her like iron, almost trying to embed her into his body.

It was not until this moment that she realized that Gu Ci was not as calm as he appeared to be. He was obviously extremely jealous and confused in his heart.

Nian Xi felt that she should be magnanimous for once and forgive his "insertion" at this moment.

She imitated him in the past and stroked his shoulders and back. She originally wanted to rub his head, but he was holding her too tightly and she couldn't reach him at all.

"Be good, sister loves you."
