Chapter 57 Chapter 57 Then I have no choice but to lock Jiaojiao up. ...
She finally realized that things seemed to be really out of control.
The one who was trembling all over finally became her.
She said in a trembling voice, "Don't push your luck, Gu Huaijin."
He noticed she was shivering and paused for a moment. "Are you cold? Is it cold even when I hold you?"
It's not cold.
She herself found it hard to admit that she was actually afraid of this young man.
It is difficult to look directly into people's hearts. Those who play with fire will get burned. She went too far today.
She finally gave in. "He's not a friend. Huaijin...don't be like this."
But it was too late, he had already tasted a little bit of it. That little bit was enough to change him completely.
He held her in his arms, his voice muffled, without moving.
"Jiaojiao, I like this. Let me hold you for a while longer."
Are you really just hugging?
He said it honestly, but he didn't stop.
Is Gu Huaijin really like this at heart?
She said helplessly, "What happened down the mountain? Did you feel wronged? Why are you a different person after coming back?"
He didn't speak.
Was it the injustice you suffered at the foot of the mountain?
I suffered the injustice under the tree at the mountain gate.
It's also his fault for practicing martial arts for many years, which has given him very good hearing. After hearing a few sentences, he still hates me.
He hugged her and asked, "Are you okay up there in the mountains? Did anyone give you any trouble?"
She laughed.
"Are you okay?"
Huide wanted to kill her.
He asked, "What's the matter with vomiting blood? Did Li Xuanbai ask a doctor to see you?"
"What happened yesterday was resolved yesterday."
"How can it be that simple? It's like this again. You don't care when you're sick or in pain. When will you take better care of yourself? If I'm not here, will such a big thing just pass like this?"
She said, "Don't make such a fuss." Then she added, "Okay! Don't move."
He finally stopped, and the anger that had just subsided suddenly flared up again, "What are you making a fuss about?"
She thought that Gu Zhi should at least believe her now, so she said, "Actually, it's not that I'm unwell. That day, Li Xuanbai went out to practice, and Elder Huide called me over to talk. I had a cup of tea with him."
"Uncle Master?"
She nodded. "After drinking that cup of tea, I felt something was wrong and started vomiting blood. Luckily, Li Xuanbai had some strange medicine, which he gave me to take."
The room was dark, and he remained silent for a long time in the heavy shadows.
Finally, he said, "I knew it long ago, Uncle Master... He doesn't like me liking you."
She blinked.
Now, he could actually say such words calmly.
He sighed and kissed the top of her head. Without anything in between, he only dared to kiss the top of her head. He whispered:
"Jiaojiao, I'm sorry for making you suffer."
She leaned in his arms, lowered her eyes, and hooked her fingers unconsciously.
Gu Huaijin is a person who can bring peace of mind. Whether it's his embrace, his voice, or his gentle demeanor even when forcing others.
Being held in his arms, it felt like a warm spring day with gurgling water and a person taking a nap on a lounge chair under fallen petals.
Lazy, comfortable, free and at ease.
She sighed and snuggled closer to him, "Not really." She wanted to tease him again, "So, do you like me, sir?"
He fell silent again.
She knew he wouldn't admit it. She hadn't said she was willing to stay, so no matter how much he loved her, he wouldn't say that.
But she always had a way. She smiled, raised her head, and touched his face: "Don't talk, don't you like it?"
He kissed her long hair again, "Jiaojiao, don't be angry with me."
She giggled in his arms, "Do you think that if you don't answer..." Can you pretend nothing happened by not answering?
He had already broken the rules and bottom line that he would never break even if he died. Why was he still talking about this now?
Gu Huaijin sighed, wrapped his arms around her waist, tightened them a little, lowered his head, and rested his forehead on her neck.
Being held in his arms, she felt a warm sensation on her back and waist. Leaning against him, she felt almost tired and yawned, "You're just deceiving yourself."
He seemed a little angry and put his arm around her waist again.
"Bright."
She simply couldn't imagine that he sounded aggrieved. In front of others, he was such a bright and cheerful person, considerate and flawless in his dealings with others.
She couldn't stop laughing.
He changed the subject in frustration, "Stop laughing. Jiaojiao, just stay in your room these days and don't go anywhere."
"Why?"
"Master's meaning is clear. This mountain is too dangerous for you."
"You can't just stay indoors all day and not see anyone."
"See someone? You just vomited blood, who do you want to see again?" He raised his head from the crook of her neck.
She knew what he was nervous about and found it amusing, so she deliberately didn't answer.
He hugged her from behind, and tightened his grip a little more. "Who are you meeting? Who are you meeting? Talk."
She laughed, "Who is it? I don't know what you're asking. Why are you so fierce?"
"Jiaojiao..." He lowered his head, rubbing his forehead against hers lovingly. He closed his eyes and murmured, "You are not allowed to see me. No one else is allowed to see me except me."
Just now, his arms were so comfortable that she snuggled in his arms and couldn't help but sink deeper and deeper. Now, she was almost lying in his arms.
He let her lean over lazily, then he held her firmly in his arms, sat her on the couch, and like coaxing a child, he lowered his head and pecked her hair again.
"You are not allowed to see anyone, you are not allowed to go out, stay here with me."
She yawned again, lazily, "I don't."
His expression remained unchanged: "Then we have no choice but to lock Jiaojiao up." Another kiss.
She laughed and didn't take it seriously.
He was generous in everything, and his intention to keep her under control was just talk. She couldn't believe that he was such a paranoid man.
"Jiaojiao, stay in this room these days. You are not allowed to go out or anywhere." He hugged her, picked up a strand of her long hair, put it on his lips and kissed it gently.
When he said this, his tone was so gentle.
She yawned slowly in his arms, covered her face with his sleeve, closed her eyes, and didn't bother to pay attention:
"nerve."
When she woke up, the man was gone. She was lying alone on the couch, the thick quilt pulled almost to her waist, even the corners tucked in tightly.
In the room, all her things had been taken back and put back in their original places, as if those days in Lingjue Pavilion were just a dream.
She pushed aside the quilt, sat up, put on her shoes and got off the bed.
When I pushed the door open and was about to go out, I almost bumped into a strange white wall. When I looked closely, I saw a row of tall and strong men.
She was startled for a moment, "What are you doing? Who are you?"
The leader, Li Zhong, cupped his fist towards her and said, "I am following the orders of the Young Master to protect Miss Chu."
To protect her safety?
It was a bit too much, and she was a little helpless, "...Okay." She nodded slightly as a thank you, then turned sideways and tried to pass through the crowd.
Li Zhong took a step forward and rushed in front of her to block her directly: "The young master has ordered that the young lady is not allowed to go out."
"Not allowed to go out? Didn't you say I'm not allowed to leave the yard?"
Li Zhong nodded. "The Young Master's order is indeed to not allow the young lady to go out. He said that the young lady is weak and has not recovered from the poisoning. She is not allowed to see anyone or move around."
She was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Did they really lock her up?
How is this different from house arrest?
"Did the Young Master ever explain why this was done?"
Li Zhong shook his head, "It's just because the girl is weak."
She has been weak for a long time, why is it like this?
She said helplessly, "...Okay."
He turned around and went back into the house, opened the windows one by one, sat at the table under the window, and looked at the sky with his chin propped up.
When she first went up the mountain, it was the season of blooming mountain flowers. If the fallen petals were not swept away in a day, they would pile up thickly. Now, it was early summer, the weather was hot, and the fallen flowers had all fallen, leaving only lush green leaves.
The sun was shining, the leaves were shining, and when the wind blew, the leaves flashed like waves.
She looked at the sky, feeling surprised, and thought, I really didn't expect this.
This kind of thing wasn't new to her. Some men, blindfolded and manipulated by her, had also resorted to this tactic. They'd imprison her in a warm room or an embroidery building, forbidding her to see anyone, and forbidding her to see anyone.
But those men are often violent, suspicious, and extremely paranoid. Once they catch her, they won't let go.
How could Gu Huaijin, with such a personality, do this to her?
Perhaps this person was even more...strange than she thought.
At this moment, the courtyard door creaked open.
She was just about to go over and ask for clarification when she saw a figure coming in from between the two doors. It was a slim and graceful woman.
Song Yaojie.
She closed the window quietly and carefully.
No one dared to stop her. Song Yaojie walked straight to her door in two or three steps and frowned at the row of guards in front of the door.
"What are you doing here? Get out of the way, I need to ask her something."
Li Zhong's voice came through the door: "Replying to Senior Sister, the Young Sect Leader has ordered that Miss Chu is still poisoned and no one is allowed to see her."
"You dare to stop me?" Song Yaojie said coldly, "Get out of the way."
Li Zhong bowed his head respectfully and did not move an inch.
"I'm here to get her on Master's orders." Song Yaojie was already impatient, and now her expression was even colder. "How dare you stop such a big thing? Even he himself has angered Master, and he can't protect himself in Bodhi Pavilion. Get out of the way!"
Li Zhong and others just responded in silence and did not give in.
Song Yaojie sneered in anger, but she wasn't as lawless as Li Xuanbai, so she wouldn't rush in with her sword drawn. So she called Aliang from the courtyard and said, "Go and tell Master that Gu Huaijin is hiding his mistress in a golden house for this spy woman, and won't let me in to arrest her."
Aliang: "This... Senior Sister..."
Song Yaojie was furious: "How dare you disobey me?!"
"Big Sister." The window under the tree was suddenly pushed open, revealing a frightened face inside. Nan Qiong Shuang bit her lip and faced her through the window. "Big Sister, may I ask, what happened to the young master?"
Song Yaojie snorted coldly and walked to her window.
Only then did she realize that although Song Yaojie still looked tough and arrogant, her eyes were slightly red and the tip of her nose was also red, as if she had just cried.
"Gu Huaijin? How dare you ask!" she said, "The daughter of the Hengshan Sect's leader has caught up with him up the mountain. She wants an explanation no matter what. Right now, the master is furious at the Bodhi Pavilion. How many days do you think you have left?"
