Chapter 27 Undercurrent
The sun gradually disappeared behind the horizon. Liu Yiner heard a knock on the door and ran to it happily. She stopped and took two deep breaths, then let out a smile. "Husband, you're back. I just finished cooking... Young Master Zhao is here too."
She suddenly changed her words mid-sentence, and the spring flowers blooming on her face fell halfway.
"Yin'er, I forgot to tell you that I'd like to have a drink with Brother Zhao today. Come on, Brother Zhao, come in." Gu Wan stepped into the courtyard and greeted warmly, not noticing his wife's increasingly gloomy expression.
"Sister-in-law, I really can't refuse your kindness. I'm sorry to bother you." Zhao Yunzhong said these words insincerely and bowed his hand perfunctorily.
"It's okay, Mr. Zhao, please come in. You sit with me first, I'll go serve you some food." Liu Yin'er searched for words in her mind as politely as possible, trying to speak appropriately, but she couldn't control the expression on her face, so she had to leave quickly and go to the kitchen.
Zhao Yunzhong looked at the young woman who was fleeing in panic, and sneered in his heart. What should he do when his fighting spirit was suddenly ignited? When he came to his senses, he looked at the back of her with an apologetic look. He seemed to be getting more and more confused. How could a real man care about an ignorant woman? It was really in vain that he had read the books of sages, but his heart seemed to be getting more and more out of control. What should he do?
Liu Yiner walked into the kitchen in two or three steps, covering her chest. Her Ah Wan had said that she didn't like that Young Master Zhao, and she knew it, but she just felt bothered about it. The desire to hide Ah Wan became stronger and stronger.
She was probably the jealous woman described in the picture book. After her heartbeat stabilized a little, she tried hard to look happy, then picked up the bowl and walked out. As soon as she reached the door, she heard the sound of loud talking in the room. The corners of Liu Yiner's mouth, which had just been raised, were instantly pursed again.
During the meal, Liu Yiner watched Gu Wan and Zhao Yunzhong talking to each other, and the expression on her face became more and more stiff. Her Ah Wan had never been like this in front of her. She didn't quite understand what man's ambition was, nor did she understand what it meant to be unwilling to bow in front of a carriage. At this moment, she vaguely saw that the table in front of her and Gu Wan turned into a big river, which was a distance she could not swim across.
After a dinner that was enjoyed by both the host and the guests, Gu Wan stood up shakily and prepared to see the guests off, but before he could stand firmly, he was pushed back onto the stool by his wife.
"Sir, please sit down and rest for a while. I will go and see Mr. Zhao off." After saying that, he walked out first.
"No need for you to see me off, brother and sister-in-law. I'm taking my leave now." Zhao Yunzhong walked out the door and looked at the listless woman in front of him. He did not leave immediately after he finished speaking, but just looked at her provocatively.
Liu Yin'er hadn't recovered from her previous emotions yet. Looking at the person who had greeted her but didn't leave, she asked anxiously, "Master Zhao, is there anything else?"
Although Zhao Yunzhong despised her in his heart, he looked serious at the moment, "You don't have to worry, I only have brotherly feelings for Brother Gu."
"Mr. Zhao, you are joking. You are all men. What else can this relationship be but brotherhood?" Liu Yiner replied coldly. She always looked at her husband with a fiery look. Did she think she was stupid?
"You...you, you, forget it. Anyway, I will never have any other feelings for Brother Gu." Zhao Yunzhong said it resolutely, as if he was swearing an oath. It was unclear whether he was talking to Liu Yiner or to himself.
Liu Yin'er ignored him and turned around to close the door. She and A Wan were both women, and they could still love each other. What's wrong with two men doing the same? What's more, her A Wan was a woman.
If this goes on, and her identity is exposed, shouldn't she have a frank talk with Awan? But given that man's stubborn personality, will it make sense? What should she do?
Back in the room, Liu Yiner helped Gu Wan onto the bed. Just as she was about to fetch some water, the person lying on the bed suddenly sat up and hugged her waist. "Wife, let me hold you for a while." She was usually tipsy, probably because there were people she trusted very much around her. When she subconsciously knew that her wife was there, she would let herself get drunk without worry.
Liu Yiner was blown away by her words, "Ah~Awan, who are you calling?" Who is your wife? Didn't Awan have no interest in anyone else? However, the person holding her did not answer.
Liu Yiner woodenly pried open Gu Wan's hands, filled some warm water, and carefully helped her take off her clothes and wipe her hands and feet. After taking care of her to sleep, she went to wash up herself. But what did she mean by the word "wife"?
She twisted Gu Wan's face in annoyance. This annoying person, why can't she be so worrying? She really wanted to tie her up with a rope. As she thought about it, the hand on that person's face withdrew its strength and turned into a gentle caress.
This is the person she holds dear to her heart. Unless one day this person cruelly abandons her, she will not let go. This is her husband with whom she has been married. Suddenly, Liu Yiner remembered that they are not real husband and wife, and the ambition that had just risen up in her heart suddenly died down.
The next day, Gu Wan woke up and rubbed her aching forehead. She secretly planned to be more restrained in the future. Besides, every time she woke up, she felt refreshed, which was undoubtedly the work of her young lady. She couldn't bear to let her Yin'er work so hard for her.
"Husband, have you ever had a lover?" Gu Wan was eating breakfast when he suddenly heard his wife ask this question.
"Huh? Didn't I tell you that this had never happened before you? Yin'er, don't you believe me?" Gu Wan answered doubtfully.
After hearing her answer, Liu Yiner couldn't help but blush. What did she mean by "there had never been one before her"? This person was really shameless and could say anything. "I believe it, but...does my husband know someone called my wife?"
"What? Yin'er, you said wife? Where did you hear that?" Liu Yin'er was frightened by her continuous questions. Looking at Gu Wan's serious expression, is there really such a person? This person also said that he had never had a lover.
"What? Is it your sweetheart? You were drunk last night, but you kept hugging me and calling your wife's name. You also said that you didn't have a sweetheart, you...you..." Liu Yin'er said aggrievedly, and her eye sockets tended to turn red.
"Pfft, hahahaha..." Gu Wan was shocked at where her young lady heard this name from, but she laughed out loud the next second.
"You, you, you...you are going too far." Seeing that she not only did not explain but laughed non-stop, Liu Yiner's eyes were filled with tears. This person, this person is so infuriating.
Seeing that her young lady looked like she was about to cry, Gu Wan quickly stopped laughing, but still asked with a smile, "Is Yin'er jealous?"
Liu Yiner wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said in a way that made it more obvious, "No, I'm just angry that you lied to me."
Gu Wan stood up, held her face, and gently wiped her tears with his thumb. He took her hand and placed it on his chest. "My silly Yin'er, there has always been only you here. There is no room for anyone else. Of course, my wife is calling me the one I am holding. That's what I learned from the book. It's what my wife means."
After Gu Wan finished speaking, she hugged the person in her arms. Her little lady was so cute.
Liu Yiner withdrew her hand from Gu Wan's chest as if she had been electrocuted. This shameless scoundrel, after hearing what she said, she spat in her heart. This man's words were really, really... too shameless, but she felt happy in her heart.
She rubbed her hot cheeks on Gu Wan's shoulder lovingly, and Liu Yin'er gently pushed her away. "You are so shameless, you can say anything. Why don't you go to the academy quickly? It will be late soon."
"Okay, my lady, you have the final say. I obey your orders and will leave now." Gu Wan got carried away for a moment and teased the young lady. Then he turned around and ran away quickly after looking at the embarrassed and angry young lady.
"What are you talking about?" Liu Yin'er looked at her funny as she ran away like a child. This person is really shameless...
Arriving at the academy, Gu Wan's smile hadn't faded yet when he saw Zhao Yunzhong from afar. His voice of "Zhao~Brother Zhao" gradually faded away, and the last syllable was almost inaudible. It was obvious that the man had taken a detour as soon as he saw him. Gu Wan was confused by what he saw.
Why is she avoiding me after just one night? Did she do something after drinking last night?
But doesn't she fall asleep when she's drunk? Could it be that her drinking behavior has deteriorated recently? Gu Wan couldn't figure out the reason, but she seemed to never run into Zhao Yunzhong in the following days. It must be that one of them is deliberately avoiding her.
Although she was a little unhappy, she found her happiness in her wife. The eighth day of March is a women's festival in modern times, but of course it doesn't exist in this era. However, Gu Wan still kept it in mind and left school early to find a jewelry store. There were all kinds of head ornaments. She finally chose a gold hairpin. Although the color was a bit high-profile, her wife didn't seem to have any gold ornaments, so it should make the beauty happy.
