Chapter 73 Chapter 73 There are kiss marks and teeth marks, you don’t...
She didn't know what to say for a moment and took a deep breath.
He had only given her a slight taste, but it was already a big deal. He didn't care about the blood and just held on to her tightly.
You can't give when you shouldn't, she stubbornly pulled her hand back.
He sat up from the cushion, hugged her waist from behind, put his head on the top of her hair, and stroked it. On the other side, he quietly grabbed her hand, and unknowingly, put it on his aggressive place.
She was helpless: "Stop it! Mr. Qu Shu will be here soon." I was playing with you just now, and you said no and didn't want to. Now you want it, and that's gone.
Gu Huaijin sighed, sniffed her cheek and then her nose, then kissed her lips tenderly:
"Jiaojiao, get down the mountain! Don't even think about it. I won't let you go no matter what."
She finally got the words she had longed for and laughed, "What? Can't I just not go with him?"
He was silent for a long time.
Finally, he kissed her forehead and said, "No."
She wanted to try to force out something else: "Why?"
Another unbearable silence fell. The candlelight flickered, casting a shadow on the wall of him embracing her from behind. Although she was leaning against him, the shadow made it seem as if he was leaning on her.
After a long pause, he said, "I can't let go."
"What can't be released?"
"I can't let go."
He murmured in a daze: "I can't stand it. Jiaojiao, just think of it as..."
“…Pity me.”
Her heart suddenly collapsed without warning, and she felt a sour feeling of weightlessness.
"What about the people on the mountain? What should we do?"
He laughed: "Don't listen to their bullshit."
"But last time, Elder Huide poisoned me. It was obvious that he had already identified me as a spy. Even Elder Huide was like that..."
"Master?" He laughed. "Jiaojiao, I'm the one in charge of this mountain. I used to worry too much and was always manipulated by others. Now I'm gradually realizing that this is all the Gu family's foundation. Why should I let others ride on my head?"
He kissed the end of her eyebrow. "However, this mountain is full of traps. It's not very safe for Jiaojiao to stay here. Why don't you come and live with me on Chaoyao Peak?"
"Chaoyao Peak?"
"The Gu family's forbidden area is the only place I can enter. There are no traps there, and apart from the monks in the mountain temple on the peak, there are no people with bad intentions. The scenery is also beautiful. If she were there, Jiaojiao would be freer."
"Then can you come too? I can't be the only one. I don't dare to live alone on a peak."
He smiled helplessly: "If I could avoid seeing you, why would I force you to stay?" As he said this, he rubbed her temples and sighed.
Nan Qiong Shuang listened, lowered her eyes and smiled.
She knew that Gu Huaijin loved her, but she didn't expect that he depended on her to this extent.
Perhaps, at first, it was just a little pity - pity itself is a kind of love. He is such a person who easily feels guilty and soft-hearted, so it is normal for him to pay more attention to her.
Later, perhaps it was the Seven Black Fragrant Wood, perhaps it was her repeated gentle words, perhaps it was her seemingly unintentional little tricks, or perhaps it was her aggressive use of Li Xuanbai, but this man's feelings for her finally changed.
Then, she fell into the underground palace. He was the kind of person who couldn't stand by and watch someone die. By the time he rescued her, half out of love and half out of guilt, he had already spent so much on her that it was no longer possible to maintain the same respect and courtesy with her as before. He just had a self-disciplined nature and forced himself to endure.
Until, under the tree in front of the mountain gate.
She laughed.
However, ever since that day when she used a stick to pry open the mouth of the hard clam, he seemed to be different from before, as if the clam had been broken at the edges by the force of the prying, and it would never be the same again.
Behind her, Gu Huaijin actually held her hand and fiddled with it again, kissing her neck closely.
She sighed. This guy was really shameless. "Stop it. Are you going to stop? Don't you feel cold bleeding like this?"
He just lowered his eyes and kissed her shoulder: "I can't care at all."
"Then you..." She was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Is this all you care about?
"This is the Bodhi Pavilion. It's where Elder Huide worships Buddha. You are here..."
Gu Huaijin couldn't listen at all. He lifted her long hair, held it down, kissed her neck from behind, and sighed softly.
He said with a bit of reluctance: "It was obviously you who first..."
"Mr. Qu Shu will be here soon. If you do this..." She squeezed hard, "I wonder what you'll do if he sees you."
He hissed, paused, and then said, "...I forgot that Mr. Qu Shu was coming."
She turned around and glared at him angrily, how could you forget this?
She stood up from his arms, "What are you going to do now? You can't be like this when someone comes..."
Turning around, he saw that the man's eyes were still as clear and bright as cold spring water, but there were two hazy red circles at the corners of his eyes, which were cold and beautiful, just like the peach blossom wine he loved the most, which was so piercing to the bone and burning in the mouth.
He was so handsome that she kissed his eyelashes again.
He suddenly said, "Jiaojiao, I just..." He reached out his hand to her neck and stroked it carefully, "I just...bit you?"
She touched it with her hand and felt a slight sting.
I took out a small mirror from the cabinet and saw a circle of round tooth marks. The skin was broken and bleeding.
"It's about when Li Xuanbai kissed me and bit me. Look at what you did to me." She sat down beside him with the small mirror, pretending to be miserable. "A tooth mark, and..."
On the snow-white neck, there was a purple kiss mark that was very eye-catching.
He took a deep breath and gently rubbed her kiss mark in circles, muttering to himself, "How could I do such a thing... Sometimes, I really don't know what's wrong with me. I'm sorry, Jiaojiao."
He blew gently on her injured area, making her neck itch. "Does it hurt?"
She liked to see him feel sorry for her, so she lowered her eyes and said, "It hurts."
He was full of pity, holding her face and stroking it twice, "I'll help you apply the medicine first."
"Don't apply medicine. Mr. Qu Shu will be here soon. I'll go find some rouge and powder to cover it up." She stood up and wanted to go to the table to see if there was anything, but he pulled her back by the arm.
"The skin is all broken, why put on makeup? I'll go tell them to get some medicine."
"Don't put the medicine on." She pushed him away. "Someone's coming soon, and if we get caught, you're really being reckless."
He was unable to answer and remained silent for a moment.
"It doesn't matter if someone sees us. Who on this mountain doesn't know about us? Who are you trying to hide this from? Even a blind man can see it."
"That won't do!" She scolded him softly, and pushed away his hand that was about to hold hers. "There are kiss marks and teeth marks. You are shameless, but I still have some dignity. And you, look at yourself..."
Moving his gaze downwards, he could see that his anger was still as strong as ever, making it even more obvious.
"... I'll see how you explain it to Mr. Qu Shu later."
When Gu Huaijin saw it, his face turned pale for a moment and he felt very embarrassed.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that this had happened in front of her before, but he didn't dare let her know at that time. He vaguely felt it and was scared to death.
I never thought that there would be such a day.
When she looked up again, his eyes were filled with ambiguity and moisture, his long eyelashes pressed against his eyes, "Then help me."
"Why should I help?" Can he even say such words now?
He refused to listen and kept pulling her hand, trying to coax her to sit on him.
At this time, there were two knocks on the door. It was Mr. Qu Shu's voice: "Young Master."
With a red face, she jumped out of his arms, glanced at the person behind her who was calm, and hurriedly pushed her long hair to both sides of her neck and pulled up her collar.
Gu Huaijin sighed, got on the couch again, and covered himself with a thick brocade quilt.
"Come in."
As soon as the door opened, Mr. Qu Shu bowed and saluted: "Young Master, I am here to treat you on the orders of Elder Huide."
Gu Huaijin leaned on the cushion, and the expression of unbearable emotion and lingering affection just now disappeared in an instant. His whole face changed and he smiled appropriately, gracefully and nodded gently.
"Thank you, Mr. Qu Shu."
Nan Qiong Shuang: ...?
Thirty seconds ago, this handsome man insisted that she "help him".
Qu Shu walked to the side of the couch with his head down, put the medicine box on the bedside table, and lowered his head to search.
The two of them looked at each other across the bow.
Fortunately, Mr. Qu Shu just lowered his head and walked past her, not seeming to notice anything unusual. Now, the room was filled with a bloody smell again, and he didn't seem to have reached the peak just now, so there was no strange smell.
If I had to say, perhaps his pulse would be particularly unstable, and both of their faces might be abnormally red.
However, the doctor might be able to tell everything after taking her pulse. She lowered her eyes, retreated to the door, and wanted to sneak out.
If he is to be embarrassed, let him be embarrassed alone.
But when she looked up, she found Gu Huaijin staring at her on the couch and extending his hand towards her.
She tried to pretend she didn't see it, but the man grabbed her and wouldn't let go.
Mr. Qu Shu took advantage of the situation and began to feel his pulse on his arm: "Young Master, there's no need to lift it so high."
Nan Qiong Shuang couldn't help but lower her head and laugh.
Gu Huaijin looked at her and had to put his arm on the pulse pillow, and then called her over with his eyes.
Qu Shu held his breath for a moment, then hissed in bewilderment, "Young Master has been poisoned and lost a great deal of blood, yet his pulse is showing a surge of blood and energy. This shouldn't be the pulse pattern."
Gu Huaijin was speechless, "You are right."
Qu Shu: "But what happened?"
Gu Huaijin stroked the edge of the quilt, said nothing, and raised his eyelids to glance at her.
She turned her eyes away as if it had nothing to do with her.
Gu Huaijin evaded the question: "Young people... tend to be more aggressive."
Qu Shu: "Also, how could the wound be so deep? I just heard the elders say that it was just a shallow cut, and the poisonous insect burrowed in through the cut."
Gu Huaijin: "The news was misinformed. It was indeed Junior Brother Xuanbai who marked me like this."
Qu Shu stroked his beard and shook his head slowly, "So it's... Young Master fighting him again. You need to be careful. Look, you're such a good-tempered person, yet he's still so angry that his face is red and his neck is thick."
Gu Huaijin smiled and said yes.
Qu Shu said, "Young Master, please place your infected arm on this jade pillow. I will force the insect out for you." He then turned back and said, "Miss Chu, please change the bloodstained quilt and mattress. The centipede poison is sensitive to blood."
She and Gu Huaijin looked at each other, stunned: "Now?" Qu Shu: "Now."
Gu Huaijin grabbed the edge of the quilt, refusing to let go. "But I just lost too much blood, and I feel a little cold right now. I wonder if..."
Nan Qiong Shuang covered her face and quietly walked out of the room.
