Anyone who didn't know better would think she was leading so many people into battle.
Jiang Jingxue, protected by a group of young men, was about to head to the station.
Gu Pingwei came out of the courtyard accompanied by Chen Hong.
"Qin Liang, stop the car!"
Jiang Jingxue thought Gu Pingwei had changed his mind and was not happy.
"Seriously, Gu Pingwei? You've already brought so many people, and you still don't trust us?"
"Madam, you've misunderstood."
Chen Hong, who was standing next to him, spoke up.
"I just received a call from your mother. There was a heavy rain last night, and a section of the railway track was washed away. It is currently being repaired, and trains are suspended for today. They will not depart until tomorrow."
"Oh, I see."
Jiang Jingxue had no choice but to push open the car door and get out.
Gu Pingwei reached out and helped her down.
During lunch, Jiang Jingxue brought up the fact that Yao Guilan was coming.
Tang Qiuzhu smiled and said, "My in-laws are coming! I'll go buy groceries in a bit, and we'll treat them well tomorrow!"
afternoon.
Jiang Jingxue helped Gu Pingwei do rehabilitation exercises in the yard.
Every step he took felt like walking on a knife's edge, extremely strenuous.
Jiang Jingxue guided him on how to exert force while encouraging him.
"Don't take big steps, use your leg muscles."
"Gu Pingwei, you are really amazing!"
"Yes, that's it! Keep doing rehabilitation every day, and you'll be able to walk again soon!"
Gu Pingwei draped one arm over Jiang Jingxue's shoulder, the fragrance of her hair filling his nostrils, and with a slight tilt of his head, he could see her beautiful face.
Her eyelashes were long and thick, and with each blink of her eyes, they resembled a pair of fluttering butterflies, a delightful sight.
Gu Pingwei rarely falls for women.
She was the first and the only one.
Every smile and frown of hers captivated him. Even when she helped him with his rehabilitation exercises, he became somewhat distracted, his attention entirely on the fragrance of her hair and her face.
I walked for half an hour straight.
Gu Pingwei was really tired.
In addition, she was all he could think about and see.
Being so close to him, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to control himself and his body would react.
Gu Pingwei coughed lightly and said, "Let's end today's rehabilitation here. We'll practice again tomorrow."
Jiang Jingxue said righteously and sternly, "No, the time is not up yet. You must practice for a full hour!"
"Gu Pingwei, your recovery is going quite well. You can definitely handle an hour of rehabilitation exercises. This will speed up the recovery of your legs, understand?"
"Hang in there a little longer, keep going!"
At Jiang Jingxue's insistence, Gu Pingwei had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue with the rehabilitation.
As he was walking, he accidentally dropped the bracelet he was holding.
"Wait, let me pick it up for you."
Jiang Jingxue bent down and picked up the bracelet from the ground.
She was wearing a loose-fitting dress with a wide neckline.
As she bent over, he looked down and caught a glimpse of her ample bosom.
Although she was wearing a tank top underneath, he could still imagine the softness and beauty inside through the fabric.
Gu Pingwei's handsome face instantly turned bright red, and he felt his body undergo some kind of uncontrollable change.
"Give."
Jiang Jingxue handed the bracelet to Gu Pingwei.
"Th-thank you."
Gu Pingwei took the bracelet and started to leave.
Jiang Jingxue did not notice the change in Gu Pingwei.
"Gu Pingwei, why are you walking so fast? You're not at the stage where you can walk independently yet, let me help you!"
Jiang Jingxue ran to Gu Pingwei to help him up.
Before he could grab his arm, Gu Pingwei lost his footing and fell forward uncontrollably.
Caught completely off guard, Jiang Jingxue was pinned down by him. The two lay on the ground, their lips touching.
The soft touch sent a jolt through Gu Pingwei, making him freeze and his mind go blank.
Jiang Jingxue grimaced in pain.
She pushed him with all her might.
"Gu Pingwei, you bastard, you've almost crushed me!"
Hearing her shout, Gu Pingwei quickly moved aside to let her get up.
At this time.
A low curse could be heard from not far away.
"Jiang Jingxue, you shameless vixen! You dare to seduce Brother Pingwei in broad daylight!"
Yue Keqi was watching this scene from the top of the wall.
Her heart was filled with anger and displeasure, and her eyes were like fire as she stared at Jiang Jingxue, wishing she could burn her to ashes.
Sensing something was wrong, Jiang Jingxue looked up.
Yue Keqi quickly ducked her head down, afraid of being discovered.
She touched her chest with one hand and muttered, "That was close, I almost got caught."
There were more than a dozen bricks stacked under her feet, so her footing was not very stable to begin with.
And when she lifted one hand off the courtyard wall, the bricks beneath her feet became even more precarious.
Before she could regain her balance, the bricks beneath her feet suddenly collapsed, and Yue Keqi lost her footing and fell, landing hard on her bottom.
"Ouch!"
She screamed uncontrollably.
Gu Pingwei and Jiang Jingxue, who were in the courtyard, exchanged a glance upon hearing the screams coming from outside.
"Yue Keqi?"
"Quick, after them!"
Gu Pingwei immediately ordered Qin Liang to take men to give chase.
Not long after, Yue Keqi was brought back.
She screamed all the way.
"Can you be gentler? You're hurting me!"
Her shout made the young soldiers blush.
