Chapter 86 Chapter 86 Even if it’s just a bite of meat, people...
Nan Qiongshuang had been on Chaoyao Peak these days, doing nothing all day. She was always busy, and suddenly taking a break was a bit of a struggle for her.
Even Gu Huaijin, a busy man, had found much more leisure time since ascending Chaoyao Peak. Official documents from within the mountain were delivered daily from the foot of the peak, but only so many could be delivered at a time. Gu Huaijin had specifically instructed that minor matters be delegated to other elders, requiring only the most crucial documents to be brought up to Chaoyao Peak for his review.
For a moment, the two people who were always busy and even thinking about countermeasures in their dreams suddenly stopped and found that there was nothing to do.
One day, she was awakened by the direct sunlight from the window. When she opened her eyes, she saw red marks left by the sunlight. She reached out to touch the person on the other side of the bed in a daze.
The other side of the bed was already empty, even the quilt was neatly folded.
Seeing her move, Gu Huaijin turned around and took a look, then returned to copying his calligraphy: "Awake?"
"Yeah." She moved away from the sunlight. Fortunately, the bed on his side was still cool, and the silk sheets were cool to the touch. "What time is it?"
He pointed out the window with his brush and smiled, "Look, the sun is at noon."
Is the sun already high in the sky? She sat up suddenly.
She had never slept until noon in her life.
He smiled without raising his head, "Since you've gotten here, Jiaojiao seems to be sleeping better?"
Maybe so, she turned her head and looked at the thousands of mountains outside the window.
The weather was beautiful today, the sun shining brightly overhead, the sky a clear, azure blue. The mist that had lingered between the peaks all day had vanished, revealing the rugged, sheer rock formations beneath.
She was still too lazy to move, so she lay on the pillow and looked at him.
He was bending slightly over to copy a calligraphy piece, his brush held straight up, his wrist steady, writing each stroke neatly.
Behind me is a carved window lattice. Under the blue sky, a tree of smoky cherry blossoms trembles in the window. When the branches shake, the petals fall like snow.
With his eyes downcast and his long eyelashes drooping, he looked like a jade mountain.
She blinked.
She is really pretty.
However, today he was normal. The bright colors at the corners of his eyes faded. When he was not emotional, he seemed almost unattainable to others. No matter how friendly the person was, it was difficult to approach him.
She smiled and said, "Are you tired?"
He didn't understand what she meant and continued to write attentively, "What's tiring?"
"Yesterday." She teased intentionally, "Is your waist sore?"
He knew she was teasing him on purpose, and he gave her a speechless look. "What nonsense! It's only one day, who would have a sore back?"
She burst out laughing, lying on the bed and said lazily, "You're just talking nonsense. You'll see what happens next."
"after?"
He glanced at her and saw that she was unaware of anything. She was lying on the pillow and swinging her legs leisurely. He swallowed the rest of his words.
In the sunlight, she had a quilt wrapped around her waist, with a layer of gauze on top, outlining her delicate and even back. The groove of her back was slightly sunken, extending into the lilac purple quilt.
Under that quilt, there might be a pair of...round dimples on the waist.
From now on, I wonder who will suffer from back pain.
He glanced away nonchalantly.
Suddenly, her shaking legs froze, she pinched two fingers, raised something tremblingly, and looked at it against the light.
Screaming: "Cat hair--!"
Bai Tang meowed in the distance, walked over slowly, and rubbed his head against Gu Huaijin's legs.
He squatted down and fondly stroked the white cat's chin, laughing, "Cats shed all the time, isn't it? Isn't that what Jiaojiao wants to keep?"
She crawled to her knees beside the couch, pinched her fingers together and hung the hair outside the couch, then suddenly changed her mind. She crawled to the window in two or three steps, opened the window, and threw the hair into the mountain stream with hatred.
"Can you shave it?" She gestured around the sugar with her hands. "Shave it, leaving two ears and a circle on the face..."
Bai Tang let out a roar, as if she understood, and slipped into the gap between Gu Huaijin and the table, glaring at her through him.
Gu Huaijin put down his pen, held the sugar in his arms, and stroked it again and again. "How can you shave a cat? What will happen? Stop it."
It's just like turning your elbow outward.
She sighed. If she had known this thing was like a dandelion, she shouldn't have agreed to Song Yaojie.
She had no choice but to get off the bed and search everywhere. Gu Huaijin looked at her in confusion.
She dug for a long time like a mouse among the mountain of clothes in the deep of the wardrobe, and finally pulled out a long strip of object from the bottom, and picked up the needle and thread beside it.
Gu Huaijin pinched Baitang's paw and let it scratch his little cat's head:
"What is this for?"
"Hook and sew." She sighed, her excellent needlework skills were put to good use. "Put it on to prevent the wool from falling all over the house."
"Why is it white? I am a white cat."
“…”
This is the half-crocheted clothes left by Song Yaojie. Who knows why it is white? Song Yaojie seems to have a very poor aesthetic sense. Isn't this a color clash?
Gu Huaijin picked out a roll of red wool from her bag of needlework, and then held the white sugar in her hand, holding its belly, turned it over, and showed her its butt.
Holding the red yarn, I measured it on its buttocks:
"Let's sew a monkey's butt on it. It would be fun."
She laughed. There must be something wrong with this man. She glared at him and said, "I'll sew up a monkey's butt for you."
"What are you talking about?" Knowing that she didn't like cats, he deliberately picked up Bai Tang and pretended to put her on the bed. "Say it again?"
"Silly." She rolled her eyes at him and stretched out her arms to him. "I need to wash my clothes today. Give me a hug."
Gu Huaijin put the cat down and hugged her.
She laughed: "I said cat."
"He's already run away." He said, sitting down beside her, hugging her waist, bending down, and holding her in his arms.
People who are much taller than her like to bury their heads in the crook of her neck when they hug her, tilt their heads, and sniff from her neck to her collar with great affection.
His gentle breath ruffled her hairs, and wherever he passed, she felt a tingling sensation all over her body.
She knew she should get used to it, but no matter how many times it happened, her whole body would still feel numb for a while. However, she liked him sticking to her and rubbing her, so she closed her eyes and endured the numbness and itchiness.
Two slightly warm lips were placed lovingly on the side of her neck, with the sound of kisses falling.
She bit her lip to endure it, and her hands touched his back and held on tightly.
"You just changed your clothes yesterday, and you need to change them again?" He murmured, sucking on her neck again, "You're so afraid of getting dirty. Then what I got yesterday..."
She didn't know why, but whenever someone sucked her neck, she would feel as if her soul was out of her body, and she would almost hum the words:
"...You know that. Then why don't you help me wash it?"
"No need to wash." He kissed her with a smacking sound. His tongue teased the delicate skin on the side of her neck, and his soft lips pressed against it. "Just wear it like that."
"Are you crazy..." The words were angry, but the tone was weak.
"I feel at ease when you have a little bit of my scent on you."
"Silly boy, what else are you worried about?" The lovers whispered softly and brokenly. She was dazed from the kiss. She had just woken up and was a little sleepy. "So early in the morning, and you're clinging to me again."
Without saying a word, he pushed aside her collar and kissed the large area of skin on her chest along her collarbone. He put his hand on her waist and rubbed it with his thumb, making it feel warm.
She couldn't help but stare at the ceiling in a daze, and the azure beams were shaking.
Someone who has eaten some meat.
Even if it's just one bite, the whole person will no longer be the same.
"Don't kiss me..." She couldn't stand it, early in the morning...
He had just satisfied himself yesterday and still wants it today?
"Where are we going today?" She was already breathless from the kiss and wanted to change the subject.
He kissed all over her chest, then pressed her back, forcing her to stand straight, and placed kisses from her collarbone to her jaw.
Every kiss seemed to be chasing her sanity, like a gentle sugar knife, making her lose her composure without knowing when.
Her body was already limp, but in order to avoid losing control further, she tensed herself up and messed up his clothes from behind, panting:
"Huai Jin..."
He didn't even breathe. Now, he was the one who was more relaxed.
"...Let's go to Lantai." He finally let her go, pressed his forehead against hers, and breathed into her face. "The weather is nice, let's go watch the stars."
"I don't want to go," she said. "There are too many mosquitoes."
"Why don't you want to go?" He closed his eyes and rubbed her eyebrows. "Didn't you say at that time that you had an appointment with... to go to Yuhuan Terrace to watch the stars?"
She knew who she was referring to, but when had she said that?
She frowned: "I didn't say that."
"I did." He sighed, rubbing his nose against hers, a lingering sense of reckoning. "Back then, when I came back from the mountain, I went to Lingjue Pavilion to pick you up, but you refused to come back. No matter what I said, you insisted on watching the stars with him."
She laughed. This guy was holding a grudge. "No way."
"Absolutely."
She blinked, knowing full well that it was best to distance herself from the matter at this point. "I really forgot. Even if I had, I didn't take it to heart."
He finally let out a satisfied laugh and kissed her on the lips.
"The weather is exceptionally good today. The fog is thick on the way up Chaoyao Peak, so we can't always go up to Lantai. But if you want to see the stars on the mountain, there's no better place than Lantai."
He said, "I'll bring you some extra mosquito repellent sachets and some extra clothes."
After lying in Mingyue Pavilion for a whole day, they finally set out in the evening. At night, the two went to Lantai.
It is said that Lantai is the place where Patriarch Songyue was enlightened by the immortals. It was here that he was enlightened by the immortals who touched his head, and he suddenly realized the method of controlling pearls. He followed the immortals' instructions, founded a school here, and became a master of the school.
However, the myth was full of fantastical stories, but in reality it was just a dark cliff with a stone platform on top that could be used for lying down. However, it had been covered with countless fallen leaves and flowers, and it had rained, so it was still a bit wet, making it absolutely impossible to lie down on it.
The bright moon hangs alone, illuminating the mountains clearly.
She looked around this simple and remote place and laughed, "Did your master receive enlightenment here?"
"Who knows? Maybe it's just a rumor." He walked to her side and put his arm around her shoulders. "Look up."
Night fell, and the pitch-black dome was covered with dense stars. There were countless white dots in the darkness of the night, as if the stars were desperately trying to get out of the night.
In the distance, a gorgeous, dazzling and colorful Milky Way, like a jade belt, stretches across the sky, and its end disappears into the undulating, purple valley on the other side of the horizon.
She held her breath.
She had indeed seen beautiful stars, but she had never seen the Milky Way.
The mountain breeze is clear, sweet, and slightly moist, carrying the fresh scent of grass and the fragrance of dew.
Below the cliff, there was a dense, dark forest. The treetops looked like crowded cauliflowers, and every leaf was shining under the moonlight.
She murmured, "It is indeed very beautiful."
Suddenly, a piece of clothing wrapped around her shoulders, crisscrossing her to wrap her tightly. The person behind her hugged her waist and asked, "Are you cold?"
"Not bad." She combed her hair that was blown by the mountain breeze.
Gu Huaijin lowered his head and kissed her shoulder: "That's good."
After saying that, he took a cushion and placed it a little away from the edge of the cliff. He turned around and smiled at her, "Do you want to sit here?"
He told her to sit down, but he walked away.
She sat down as she was told, hugged her knees, and turned around to look, "What are you doing?"
But he brought out two round wine jars from somewhere, and smiled brightly under the moonlight:
"Peach Blossom Wine."
"In fact, Lantai is a sacred place within the mountains, and it cannot be desecrated. But when I was young, I lived in Chaoyao Peak. At that time, I had a sudden inspiration and secretly buried two bottles of peach blossom wine here. I didn't expect that ten years later, I would actually find them."
He smiled slyly and winked, "If Dad knew, he would be furious. But I buried those two jars of wine to piss him off to death."
She couldn't help but smile.
No matter how you look at it, he grew up following the rules, but he actually has these naughty thoughts.
He sat beside her and opened the jar of wine. The extremely mellow aroma of wine with the fragrance of peach blossoms immediately filled the air and dissipated with the night wind.
He bent one knee, lowered his eyes and smiled softly in the mountain breeze, his posture quite casual and unrestrained:
"My father, Gu Qingyao, actually has a lover besides my mother. I wonder if you have heard about it in the mountains."
Her heart skipped a beat.
Some things that she had intentionally buried deep in her heart and didn't want to think about were revived like ghosts because of his words.
