Chang'an has a hometown, and the hometown belongs to Chang'an9
The Prime Minister's daughter laughed self-deprecatingly. "Don't be fooled by her appearance of a loyal servant. Behind the scenes, she's a calculating person! It was because of her that she seduced my father that my mother died of depression. If she hadn't threatened me with her and my father's illegitimate son, how could she have defended me so strongly?"
Her face was a mixture of indifference and disdain, and she placed her finger on Gu Qingzhou's chest. "In these troubled times, who isn't selfish? A slave to fate, willing to do anything to protect themselves? She and I are both like that. Are you blaming me for being so cruel to her? But as a bystander, you don't know the reasons behind this. What right do you have to stand on the moral high ground and accuse me?"
A bitter feeling surged from Gu Qingzhou's heart bit by bit. She opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.
Guli walked over to her and ruffled her hair. "In these troubled times, many things are beyond our control, but we can still choose what to do and what kind of person to be. Don't use incompetence and viciousness as an excuse to seek psychological comfort."
As soon as he finished speaking, Guli left some money and took Gu Qingzhou away.
-
Guli sent Gu Qingzhou to the gate of Baihua Pavilion and looked at him reluctantly, "Chang'an, I will lead the troops to the battle tomorrow. Can you give me a kiss, a real kiss?"
Guli looked at Gu Qingzhou's eyes, which were like the deep sea hidden under the iceberg, deep and bright.
The words from her hometown were still lingering in her ears, and the scenes of the past appeared before her eyes. For a moment, she was in a state of confusion.
Gu Qingzhou didn't kiss him in the end. He just said, "Be careful on the road."
"Okay." Guli smiled helplessly, with some loneliness in his eyes. He kissed Gu Qingzhou's forehead and turned away.
Although Guli was gone, Gu Qingzhou felt as if a piece of her heart had been cut out alive. She sat by the window every day doing nothing, and all she could think about was Guli's every frown, smile, and every move.
As the days went by, Gu Qingzhou missed her hometown more and more. Sometimes when she walked on the street, she would see her hometown standing in the bustling crowd, calling her name.
"What are you thinking about?" A crisp voice sounded in Gu Qingzhou's ears. She turned her head and saw Gu Ruo tilting her head with his hands on her neck.
"What?" Gu Qingzhou asked unhappily.
Gu Ruo curled her lips and said, "I'm hungry, sister-in-law, please treat me to a meal!"
The word "sister-in-law" was like a sweet candy, rubbing into Gu Qingzhou's nerves. In an instant, it swept away all her unhappiness. "Okay!"
Gu Ruo took Gu Qingzhou to a restaurant not far away. Since they had not arrived yet, there were only a few people in the restaurant.
As soon as Gu Qingzhou sat down, he heard a familiar voice, "Boss, give me one serving of sweet and sour pork and one serving of Kung Pao chicken..."
The chopsticks in Gu Qingzhou's hand fell to the ground. She turned her head and, as expected, saw the man she had been thinking about day and night.
But the man seemed not to see her. He took the hand of the woman next to him and walked past Gu Qingzhou on his own.
"Hey! Brother!" Gu Ruo waved towards his hometown.
Guli turned around, took the girl's hand and walked to Gu Qingzhou, "Guruo, Changan, you are here too."
There was no trace of embarrassment on Gu Li's face for catching someone cheating. His eyes only stayed on Gu Qingzhou's cheek for a second before he looked away.
"Okay! Brother, you didn't even tell me you were back." Gu Ruo shook his chopsticks, "Who is this?"
"This is Lieutenant General Liu's beloved daughter, Liu Lan." Guli pulled out a stool for Liu Lan in a gentlemanly manner, and only sat down slowly after she sat down.
Liu Lan, who was standing by, shyly covered her face with a handkerchief.
Gu Qingzhou felt that the scene in front of her was very dazzling. She curled her lips, picked up the chopsticks at hand, and poked the rice in the bowl a few times.
Humph! You said you liked me, but just a few days later you hooked up with someone else. It's true that all crows are black.
Liu Lan gently poked Gu Qingzhou's sleeve and said weakly, "Miss, the chopsticks in your hand seem to be mine..."
Her voice was soft and she spoke slowly, weighing each word carefully.
Gu Qingzhou's expression changed several times, and finally turned bright red like a ripe tomato.
"Sister-in-law, are you jealous?" Gu Ruo's words were like a stone thrown into Gu Qingzhou's heart, causing huge waves.
Jealous! Ha, what a joke, she is Gu Qingzhou! Only others are jealous of her, how could she be jealous?
At the same time, Gu Qingzhou happened to meet Guli's playful and tentative eyes, and her anger was uncontrollable. She took two mouthfuls of rice and turned away.
Gu Qingzhou's movements were very large, but she stopped as soon as she left the restaurant. She quietly hid in a small corner, thinking about the scene when her hometown would come out to look for her.
But she waited and waited, but there was no sign of Gu Li. So, Gu Qingzhou, who always prided herself on knowing men well, felt frustrated for the first time.
-
Unprecedented jealousy made Gu Qingzhou subconsciously attribute all this to Qi Guli's hypocrisy.
She put her hands on her hips and paced back and forth in the room, muttering, "I'm so angry! I'm so angry!"
She wasn't tired of saying it, but 0609 in her mind was tired of hearing it. It sighed helplessly, "Host, you are jealous."
Gu Qingzhou plopped down on the stool and replied stiffly, "No."
She took a breath, her chest rising and falling. "0609, tell me, have I become ugly and not pretty anymore?"
0609:……No.
Gu Qingzhou looked at herself in the bronze mirror. She was still as beautiful as ever. She couldn't help but mutter, "Why is Guli with another woman?"
0609: Host, why do you care so much about the hometown general? Are you in love with him?
Gu Qingzhou's heart skipped a beat. "Am I falling in love with him..." But in just a second, she dismissed this possibility. "How is that possible? I must have been in the system for too long and got lonely! That's right! That's it."
She stood up, changed into a bright red dress, and slowly walked onto the stage. "On such a beautiful day, why not let Chang'an play some games with you all?"
Everyone in the audience looked at each other in bewilderment. The warning from their hometown seemed like yesterday, but it was rare for them to see this girl from Chang'an. It would be a pity if they didn't do something.
Everyone thought about it for a long time, but in the end they couldn't resist the restless hearts.
In a short while, this matter reached the ears of his hometown. He rushed over and saw a slightly drunk Gu Qingzhou, half leaning in the arms of a strange man, drinking one glass of wine after another.
Guli pulled Gu Qingzhou into his arms and kicked the man to the ground. His tone was cold. When he looked at the man, his eyes seemed to be mixed with ice, making people tremble. "Have you forgotten what I said before?"
The man's body trembled even more violently. He shook his head slightly, "No, no."
Guli picked up Gu Qingzhou in his arms, frowning, and a word came out of his thin lips, "Kill."
-
The familiar temperature made Gu Qingzhou's nerves relax. She rubbed her sleepy eyes. The corners of her peach blossom eyes were slightly red. She looked at her hometown with clear and bright eyes. "Guli, you are here."
Gu Qingzhou poked Guli's face, which was so repulsive, and smiled foolishly. After a while, he said aggrievedly, "I thought you didn't want me anymore!"
Her voice was soft, and every word she spoke struck Gu Li's heart, causing his eyes to ache.
The chance encounter this afternoon was actually something he had planned on purpose. He had informed Gu Ruo early on and asked her to take Gu Qingzhou to this restaurant. He had also taken Liu Lan with him on purpose, just to test whether Gu Qingzhou still had him in his heart.
But what he never expected was that Gu Qingzhou's reaction would be so big, and what he never expected was that she would invite the man from Baihua Pavilion to drink with her in a fit of anger.
Guli kissed Gu Qingzhou's forehead and looked at her tenderly, "No, in this life, the next life, and the life after that, I will always want you."
Gu Qingzhou was still drunk. When she heard Gu Li's words, her body froze. Then, like a kitten with its fur standing on end, she waved her sharp claws at Gu Li. "Bad guy! You're such a bad guy. You were so affectionate with that Liu before. I don't trust you anymore."
"No, Chang'an, never again." Guli wrapped Gu Qingzhou tighter. He rested his chin on her head and patted her back soothingly.
The moonlight sprinkled on Gu Qingzhou's cheeks, making her look particularly fragile. Tears rolled down her eyes and dripped onto Guli's sleeves.
At this moment, Gu Qingzhou seemed to have removed all his disguises and was crying like a child.
"Bad guys, you are all bad guys. My parents didn't want me anymore because of their own children, and now even you don't want me anymore..."
Guli felt as if his heart was broken into several pieces, and he was heartbroken. He lowered his head and kissed Gu Qingzhou's chattering little mouth.
Until Gu Qingzhou's face flushed and she was out of breath, he let go of her little mouth and said in a rather doting manner, "Yes, yes, I am a big bad guy, I have gone too far..."
He cupped Gu Qingzhou's cheeks and said in a coaxing tone, "I apologize to you, the bad guy. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done this to test you. I wonder if Miss Chang'an can forgive me, the bad guy. Don't be angry anymore, okay?"
The drunk Gu Qingzhou was particularly well-behaved. She blinked at her hometown, her eyes sparkling as if sprinkled with stars.
She tilted her head and looked at him for a long time, then nodded, smiled and hugged Guli's arm, put her head on his shoulder, and kissed him on the cheek.
Then she calmly returned to her arrogant nature, "It's not impossible for me to forgive you, unless..."
