Lu Yanzhao's eyes widened in shock. When he realized what Gu Nanjiao was about to do, he instinctively squeezed his legs together and backed away.
"what are you up to?"
Although Gu Nanjiao had seen many performances involving men and women in modern times, she had been single since birth for many years and was a pure and innocent young girl in ancient times. Such a bold act made her blush. Her ears burned with embarrassment, and she swallowed hard before saying dryly, "What else can I do? Help you. Why are you being so coy, you big man?"
She was so indecisive and dawdling that she seemed like a ruthless, heartless demon.
Lu Yanzhao "..."
It wasn't that he was being pretentious; rather, it was a deeply ingrained belief. He had envisioned a wonderful night when he passed the imperial examination and their wedding night was celebrated. He didn't want Gu Nanjiao's virginity to be wasted in this dilapidated temple.
It's often said that a woman's first time is very important. If she has a bad experience and it leaves a shadow in her heart, then she won't have a happy and fulfilling sex life in the future.
What if Gu Nanjiao becomes very resistant to him after this incident?
Lu Yanzhao shook his head, biting his tongue to relieve the heat in his body with pain, and said in a hoarse voice, "No... I don't need you."
"Could it be that my past left you with psychological trauma, making you so resistant?"
Before Gu Nanjiao transmigrated, the original owner not only stripped naked and climbed into Lu Yanzhao's bed, but also shamelessly put her hand on his body.
Lu Yanzhao was both ashamed and angry. He threw the naked original body out, which caused the original body to act up and try to get his attention by crying, making a scene, and threatening to hang himself.
"I didn't!" Lu Yanzhao explained, panting heavily.
Gu Nanjiao was indeed annoying in the past, mainly because she was shameless and ruined his reputation, forcing him to marry her against his will.
No one knew how important the spot in the academy examination was to him. He had waited nine long years for the chance to fulfill his dream, only to have it ruined by Gu Nanjiao.
He was once captivated by Nanfeng Academy at first glance. But he knew his place; what he wanted was never romantic love, but rather to climb the ladder step by step and obtain what he desired through hard work.
Later, she shamelessly clung to him, and his inherent pride as a scholar made him feel deeply ashamed. Eventually, things got out of control.
He loathed the woman from that time; she was such a beautiful person, how could her behavior be so immoral?
He didn't know when it started, but he was slowly drawn to those bright, star-like eyes. All his sense of propriety, shame, pride, and restraint vanished. All he wanted was to hold Gu Nanjiao tightly in his arms and see her the moment he opened his eyes each day.
Now he is extremely grateful that they did not divorce. The shameless madwoman from back then is now a treasure to him, how could he neglect her in a dilapidated temple?
Suddenly, Lu Yanzhao's thoughts were interrupted as his underpants were pulled down without him noticing.
Gu Nanjiao reached out and covered it.
After a long while...
Gu Nanjiao glanced at Lu Yanzhao and saw that he was not yet dressed. His handsome face showed indescribable satisfaction, and his eyes lingered on her, unwilling to leave.
Thinking about everything that had just happened, Gu Nanjiao's face, which had finally cooled down, flushed again. She quickly lowered her head, her ears red as she picked at her fingernails, looking as innocent as could be.
Noticing that her gaze hadn't left her, Gu Nanjiao said irritably, "What are you looking at? Put your clothes on properly, you little brat, always pretending to be so profound."
At first she was very resistant, but she saw that Lu Yanzhao was enjoying it more than anyone else.
What's worse, for the first time, she felt her hands were small.
Lu Yanzhao curled his lips and slowly put on his clothes. He felt very uncomfortable with the "little brat" Gu Nanjiao had mentioned.
He's a normal grown man, a year older than Gu Nanjiao, so how come he's considered a little kid?
Was she looking down on him because he knew nothing? Although he was inexperienced in matters of the heart, his former classmates had shown him the poses in the booklets. Especially Lin Ji, who had explained all thirty-six poses to Lu Yanzhao the day they slept together.
He's seen the world, after all!
Suddenly, Lu Yanzhao remembered something: he had put away Gu Nanjiao's sketchbook and locked it in a drawer. How did she know...?
"How do you, a young lady, know all this?"
Gu Nanjiao "..."
When did Lu Yanzhao's thought process become so peculiar? Shouldn't he be asking us what to do next?
How should she answer?
Gu Nanjiao thought for a moment, then awkwardly turned her gaze to the side: "I saw it in the sketchbook you took away that day."
As a woman of the new era, she felt there was nothing to be ashamed of, forgetting that this was in ancient times.
Such shocking behavior is truly astonishing. She had never consummated her marriage with her husband, nor had anyone instructed her; how could she possibly have learned to look so convincing based solely on a few blurry pictures in a picture book?
"Oh?" Lu Yanzhao chuckled. He had secretly looked at the picture book from that day, and there was no such trick. Gu Nanjiao was lying.
Feeling uncomfortable under Lu Yanzhao's suspicious gaze, Gu Nanjiao simply said, "Oh, just think of it as me being naturally gifted when facing my beloved! I'm so talented, don't admire me too much."
Lu Yanzhao: "...?"
Feeling guilty under his gaze, Gu Nanjiao didn't know how to continue the lie, so she simply asked, "Do you know about this kind of thing?"
Lu Yanzhao was stunned. How could he not know about this? He was a normal man, and besides, Lin Ji had explained a lot to him.
"Of course I know."
"You know why I can't know?"
Lu Yanzhao "..."
Now it was his turn to be at a loss for words.
Gu Nanjiao didn't want to continue the topic, so she shifted her gaze to the door and immediately changed the subject, asking, "Let's get out of here quickly! If the bandit leader finds us here, we'll have made a wasted trip. You have the imperial examination coming up soon, you can't let your hands get stained with blood."
"Gu Nanjiao, are you blaming me for killing someone?" Lu Yanzhao's breath hitched. The thing he least wanted to happen had still happened. He didn't want Gu Nanjiao to see his dark side, but in the end, he still had to make her face bloodshed and his cruelty.
He was a little scared that Gu Nanjiao might take the opportunity to distance herself from him.
After all, it involves murder; no one wants to sleep with someone whose hands are stained with blood.
"You are my bottom line, don't be afraid of me, okay?" Lu Yanzhao stepped forward and gently embraced Gu Nanjiao, murmuring softly.
Gu Nanjiao's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly explained, "No, those people were vicious and deserved to die. I was just afraid you would get into trouble."
Lu Yanzhao has already achieved the highest score in the provincial examination and will soon participate in the palace examination. His years of hard work cannot be wasted.
Lu Yanzhao was in no mood for sweet talk. Considering everything that had happened today, he couldn't help but wonder how a group of fierce-looking bandits could have suddenly appeared when he was driving his carriage on the official road.
How dare he run wild near Nanshan Temple in broad daylight? Is someone trying to harm him?
"I wonder how my little sister is? Let's hurry to Nanshan Temple!"
"good!"
Lu Yanzhao picked up Gu Nanjiao and said softly, "You've worked hard just now, lean on me and rest for a while!"
Gu Nanjiao blushed, the chaotic scene from earlier flashing through her mind. She punched Lu Yanzhao hard in the chest: "Don't think about it!"
Lu Yanzhao groaned; Gu Nanjiao had hit his wound. But to avoid embarrassing her, he replied in a low voice, "Fine, I won't think about it or mention it again."
Who can predict what will happen in the future? Let's reassure her first before discussing it further.
The two were flirting when suddenly they heard footsteps outside the dilapidated temple.
Someone's here...
The dilapidated temple's rickety door was kicked open, and Zheng Shiyi stared blankly at the scene before him. He quickly turned around and said, "Yanzhao, you have quite the refined taste. We've been searching frantically outside, and you're flirting with a beauty in your arms."
Lu Yanzhao did not release Gu Nanjiao, but asked, "Master Zheng, is that you?"
"It's a coincidence that Master Chu went to Nanshan Temple to see an old friend and happened to run into Sister Lu at the foot of the mountain, who was asking for help. So he sent me to rescue you."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yanzhao narrowed his eyes slightly. Could it really be such a coincidence? He didn't believe it at all.
Although Zheng Shiyi had shown him kindness in instructing him in martial arts, Zheng Shiyi was Master Zheng's man, and recently he had been closely protecting Chu Luoxun, clearly indicating that he was one of the Crown Prince's people.
However, without conclusive evidence, we dare not draw any conclusions.
Lu Yanzhao quickly realized what was happening, looked at Gu Nanjiao in his arms, and put her down.
He cupped his hands in thanks to Zheng Shiyi and said, "Thank you, Master Zheng and Master Chu."
Gu Nanjiao got off Lu Yanzhao, keeping her eyes down and mindful of what she shouldn't ask.
Thinking of Lu Xiaomei, she couldn't help but worry and asked, "How is Xiaomei?"
Zheng Shiyi said, "I've been taken to Nanshan Temple, it's alright. The bandits have been captured by the government troops, so you two don't need to worry. Come with me to Nanshan Temple to see my little sister!"
...
The two went to Nanshan Temple to see Lu Xiaomei, who was watching the monks practice Shaolin Kung Fu with great interest.
She said she wanted to leave behind her student skills and wouldn't go back.
Zheng Shiyi paused for a moment and suggested, "There is a Qingyun Nunnery behind Nanshan Temple. The nuns there are also experts. Why don't we send my little sister there?"
He thought that the monks at Nanshan Temple were also men, and although they were supposed to be celibate, his younger sister, being a woman, should be even more mindful of the proper separation between men and women.
Lu Yanzhao's original intention was to send Lu Xiaomei to Qingyun Nunnery behind Nanshan Temple, but since Qingyun Nunnery was unknown, he had to say that he would go to Nanshan Temple. In fact, the two belonged to the same lineage, so saying that he would go to Nanshan Temple to learn martial arts was almost the same as saying that he would go to Qingyun Nunnery.
That night, the group stayed at Nanshan Temple. In her sleep, Gu Nanjiao dreamt of a bloody human head rolling at her feet. She stared wide-eyed at it.
"ah--"
Gu Nanjiao sat up abruptly and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
Lu Yanzhao sighed silently, then pulled her into his arms and said, "Did I frighten you today?"
Gu Nanjiao shook her head: "No."
When a woman says no, she means yes.
Lu Yanzhao remembered that Lin Ji had said this, so he took Gu Nanjiao's hand in his own and said, "This kind of thing will not happen again in the future, at least not in front of you."
Gu Nanjiao nodded: "I really didn't, I just had a nightmare."
"Since you can't sleep, why not do something meaningful?"
Gu Nanjiao blushed, her mouth felt sour, and she kicked Lu Yanzhao away in a fit of anger and embarrassment: "Go to hell, you have impure thoughts."
Lu Yanzhao rubbed his sore thigh, looking a little aggrieved: "What are you thinking? I mean, my little sister is going to stay here, and she's lost her belongings. Why don't we make a list and buy some things she needs and send them over?"
