Gu Yuheng opened his eyes, smiled gently at the sleeping person in his arms, and couldn't help but lower his head to kiss her again and again.
Although Lin Chuxia was sleeping soundly, she wasn't in a deep sleep. Naturally, she would sense his repeated kisses and tossing.
She groggily opened her eyes, glanced at the still pitch-black night outside the window, and said in a voice heavy with sleepiness and confusion, "It's not even dawn yet, how come you're awake? I feel like I just fell asleep..."
Gu Yuheng cupped her small face and kissed her affectionately again and again: "I'm sorry, I woke you up. Sleep a little longer, and I'll come and wake you up when it's time for breakfast."
"Oh..." Lin Chuxia was really sleepy, so she turned over and went back to sleep.
Gu Yuheng smiled and didn't bother her any further. He tiptoed out of bed.
When he came out of the room, Lin Qingze was already waiting in the courtyard. Seeing him come over, Lin Qingze stubbed out his cigarette and snorted, "I thought you wouldn't be able to get up."
At this moment, Gu Yuheng was in a great mood because his long-cherished wish had been fulfilled. He was completely absorbed in happiness and didn't care about Lin Qingze's difficult behavior. Instead, he smiled at him and said, "I wouldn't dare."
His brother-in-law deliberately made things difficult for him by using the title of "Lin family son-in-law," and he dared not disobey.
Lin Qingze felt that Gu Yuheng's smile was too dazzling and a bit too much for his eyes, so he simply looked away and pointed to the bamboo basket on the other side, saying, "Xiaxia likes to eat mushrooms, go up the mountain and pick a basketful!"
Both of them were highly intelligent. Lin Qingze knew that no matter what excuse he used, Gu Yuheng would see through him, so he simply didn't bother to make up an excuse. After explaining the task, he stood up, stretched, yawned stylishly, and said, "It's too early. In order not to affect my stunning good looks, I need to go back and catch up on some sleep. I won't accompany you up the mountain."
As Lin Qingze passed by Gu Yuheng, he patted him on the shoulder and reminded him, "Remember to pick them all!"
Gu Yuheng: "..." She really doesn't hide her hostility towards him at all.
Gu Jiu walked over from the other side of the corridor. He had also heard what Lin Qingze had just said. Now, looking at the bamboo basket that Lin Qingze had specified, he widened his eyes slightly: "Such a big bamboo basket, Third Master, is Young Master Lin deliberately making things difficult for us?"
He was deliberately making things difficult for me. Gu Yuheng turned and glanced at Gu Jiu, then said, "It wasn't us, he was only making things difficult for me."
After speaking, he walked past Gu Jiu, bent down, picked up the bamboo basket, casually slung it over his shoulder, and then walked directly towards the courtyard gate.
Gu Jiu didn't come to her senses until Gu Yuheng had walked out of the courtyard gate, finally understanding the meaning of his words—
Because the Lin family only had one son-in-law, the Third Master, the eldest son of the Lin family only made things difficult for the Third Master.
Once she realized what was happening, Gu Jiu scratched her face, her baby face showing a hint of confusion: Why did it seem like their Third Master was enjoying himself even though he was being harassed?
Gu Jiu's guess was correct; Gu Yuheng was indeed enjoying himself at the moment.
Being harassed was only for a few days, not for a lifetime. A few days of hard work earned him the title of "Lin Family Son-in-Law" for life; he'd made a profit.
It was still dark when Gu Jiu and Gu Yuheng made their way up the mountain along the crooked mountain path, aided by the starlight.
