Chapter 400: The Past of Lanling (Part 5)
Lu Lingjun glanced at Gu Shiqi, then at Gu Yanjing on the bed, and guiltily removed the ice pack from Gu Yanjing's forehead.
"This is Suzaku."
It is his little Vermilion Bird.
Gu Shiqi's expression changed instantly: "Damn, where did Gu Yanjing get plastic surgery? She looks good now? Ugh, she's not good-looking at all."
"Is this how you change handkerchiefs?" Lu Lingjun ignored Gu Shiqi, wrung out the handkerchief and changed Gu Yanjing's, then asked Gu Shiqi.
Gu Shiqi slammed the door and left in a huff: "You're such a scoundrel, you guys are such scoundrels."
Gu Yan was still delirious from the fever when he felt the coolness on his forehead, which felt very comforting. So he couldn't help but snuggle into Lu Lingjun's arms.
Lu Lingjun was held around the waist and, stunned, dropped the handkerchief in his hand.
After a long while, she reluctantly lowered her head and kissed the boy's forehead. Then, she conjured an Ice Soul Pearl, strung it with a red string, and hung it around Zhuque's neck.
"If you took my things, you'll have to pay me back with something else, Suzaku. I hope you won't try to renege on your promise."
Zhuque gave a soft hum, but it was unclear whether she had actually heard her.
Gu Yanjing slept for a whole day before waking up. Looking at Lu Lingjun's youthful face and then touching his own handsome face, he couldn't help but grin foolishly for a moment. He then quietly climbed out of Lu Lingjun's arms and looked in the mirror.
Wow, that's a sleeping young man, so handsome.
Gu Yanjing happily changed her clothes and went out the door.
As soon as I went out, I bumped into Qianyan and Gu Qiqi coming back hand in hand; they were obviously out having fun.
When Gu Shiqi saw Gu Yanjing, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He frantically tried to signal Gu Yanjing to get inside, but Gu Yanjing insisted on causing trouble and took a few steps forward to greet him very warmly.
"Oh, Seventeen's back."
Gu Shiqi's smile froze, her heart pounding with nervousness.
What a terrible thing to do.
I don't know if Qianyan can recognize that this is Zhuque. Although she is not quite the same as before, she is still the same person. It is impossible for them to be completely unrelated.
"Ah, I'm back, I'm back."
"Then come drink with me." Gu Yanjing crossed his arms, full of energy after the fever subsided, like a hero again.
And he's incredibly handsome.
"That's not good, you got sick because you drank too much yesterday." Gu Shiqi's smile became even more stiff, and she really wanted to strangle this brat who never learns his lesson.
"Seventeen, who is this?" Qianyan suddenly asked.
He also felt that Gu Yan looked familiar, but couldn't help but think who he was.
"Haha, this is a friend's younger brother. He asked me to look after him for a few days. He's just a little kid, don't worry about him. You can go back now, and I'll go out with you tomorrow."
Gu Shiqi was completely exasperated. He turned around and pushed Qianyan downstairs, almost killing him.
Gu Yanjing watched the show from behind, raising an eyebrow.
After they had walked away, he asked her, "When are you planning to make your move? I see that she's deeply in love with you and obedient to you in every way. She'd probably be willing to be schemed against by you even if it meant her death."
While this statement may seem somewhat untrue, it's not entirely impossible.
This Qianyan is clearly a love-struck person.
"When I married him, he always wanted to marry me. I fulfilled his wish, and now he wants to fulfill mine too." Gu Shiqi smiled, her eyes showing no expectation of love.
Only the God of a Thousand Words remained indifferent.
There are specific positions in the celestial realm; one radish for one hole. Once a radish is in a hole, no other radish can get in.
Therefore, Gu Shiqi wanted Qianyan dead. Only when Qianyan was dead could she clear the pit for her.
