Chapter 395 The Boys of That Time (Forty-Eight)
"Are you the child husband my sister picked up?" The little girl blinked her big, innocent eyes.
Gu Yanjing nearly choked on his words, looking up at the girl and asking, "Is your head full of *?"
The little girl said, feeling wronged, "Your head is full of *."
Gu Yanjing calmly continued, "Otherwise, why would you be spouting nothing but nonsense?"
The little girl ran out crying after being scolded; she looked incredibly pitiful.
Gu Yanjing didn't even flinch, finally able to eat his fish in peace.
After finishing his meal, Gu Yanjing opened the door and looked at the lively scene below, wondering whether he should go out for a stroll.
It looks quite lively. The young ladies dancing are beautiful, the young ladies singing are beautiful, and the young ladies playing the pipa are beautiful.
It seems like a waste not to see this.
So Gu Yanjing followed her heart, tidied herself up, and went downstairs. She leisurely found herself a good spot to sit down and asked the young lady who came over for a plate of sunflower seeds.
A young woman dressed in light clothing sat down next to him with a smile and asked him a question.
"Young master, you're quite bold for your age. Why are you playing alone?"
Gu Yan thought for a moment: "Isn't my sister with me? How can you say I'm alone?"
Perhaps it was because Gu Yanjing was too handsome and had a sweet tongue that the girls who gathered around him were so delighted by the constant calls of "older sister" that they ignored all the other men and just wanted to stay around Gu Yanjing and play with him.
The onlookers, mostly men, were amazed.
It's quite a rare sight to see a beauty so beautiful that money can't buy her.
A middle-aged philanderer, drunk, stumbled over with a wine jug in his hand and slammed it down in front of Gu Yanjing's table, behaving quite arrogantly.
"Oh, where did this young master come from? He has such delicate skin."
These words are extremely vulgar; they're not even close to being offensive—they're practically flirting.
He probably thought Gu Yanjing was just a servant boy kept in the brothel, the kind who was there to serve high-ranking officials and nobles.
However, the beauty told him that the more beautiful a person is, the more ruthless they can be.
Especially someone like Gu Yanjing, whose values are warped.
Gu Yan raised his eyelids slightly, wondering if the group of cute young ladies would be frightened if this person died right there.
Just like now.
The man suddenly clutched his chest, gasping for breath as if he couldn't breathe. After struggling for a while, he collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
The girls were terrified and turned pale. They stood up and backed away, and a crowd quickly gathered around them, but none of them left.
People love to watch the excitement; isn't that just human nature's inherent flaws?
Gu Yanjing lazily finished the pastry in his hand, took a sip of tea, and said regretfully, "Oh dear, what a pity, he's dead."
The man was of high status; he was in charge of finances under the city lord of Lanling City and always had guards with him when he went out. When the commotion broke out here, his guards also came to see what was going on.
It was fine if I didn't look, but when I did, I was shocked. The person lying on the ground was none other than my own master.
The four guards were about to take Gu Yanjing back to report, but before they got there, they were forced to their knees by an invisible force.
"Do you want to die too?" Gu Yanjing stood up, looked at the four polite guards, and asked them politely as well.
The guards: ...We didn't want to.
Sorry to bother you.
