Gu Nanjiao clicked her tongue: "You poor scholars are still squatting at the academy gate blocking the way? Besides, my husband has bad teeth and likes to eat soft food."
"Right, husband?" Gu Nanjiao said, winking at the stunned Lu Yanzhao.
Lu Yanzhao felt a tickle in his heart from her calling him "husband" repeatedly, and was in a great mood. He laughed and said, "My wife still loves me the most. She knows that I have bad teeth and like to eat soft food."
Gu Nanjiao...
She had originally intended to tease him, but she didn't expect Lu Yanzhao to be so shameless, and even seemed proud of it.
"You..." The woman in green couldn't bear the sight of the two being so affectionate, and pointed at Gu Nanjiao with trembling hands.
Gu Nanjiao glanced at her indifferently: "What? You're shamelessly trying to seduce a married man!"
The girls in red, yellow, blue, and green were speechless and ran away with red eyes.
She's such a womanizer; even though she's married, there are still men eager to take advantage of her.
Gu Nanjiao turned around and found Lu Yanzhao staring at her with a half-smile. She said irritably, "What are you looking at? All you do all day is flirt with other women and not help with the work."
Lu Yanzhao ignored the stares of others and rolled up his sleeves to get to work.
Lunchtime was almost over. After a busy period, Lu Yanzhao and Lin Ji hurriedly ate a few bites of food and it was time to return to the academy.
After washing their hands, the two prepared to leave. Suddenly, a cry of alarm rang in their ears, and the charcoal in the stove exploded, sending sparks flying directly into Gu Nanjiao's chest.
The scorching sparks landed on her chest, causing a burning pain. Gu Nanjiao gasped and quickly patted the spot with her hand.
Seeing this, Lu's mother was terrified and rushed over: "What happened? Jiaojiao, are you alright?"
Lu Yanzhao reacted quickly, scooping up a bowl of water and splashing it on Gu Nanjiao's chest, leaving her breasts soaked.
Gu Nanjiao felt a cool sensation on her chest, which temporarily relieved the pain. It had been hot lately, and she was wearing thin clothes, so her damp chest was faintly visible.
Lin Ji exclaimed in surprise, "This...this is probably a burn."
Lu Yanzhao's eyes darkened, and he stepped forward, blocking Gu Nanjiao's path.
Mrs. Lu was extremely worried: "Jiaojiao, are you alright?"
Gu Nanjiao quickly comforted her, "Mother, don't worry, it's just a little burn, it's nothing, just apply some medicine and it will be fine."
When Lu Yanzhao stood motionless in front of Gu Nanjiao, Lu's mother became furious: "What are you standing there for? Go buy the medicine now!"
“Okay.” Lu Yanzhao glanced at the sun and said to Lin Ji beside him, “I’m afraid I won’t be able to catch the headmaster’s class. Could you please ask for leave for me, Brother Lin?”
Lin Ji responded and returned to the academy.
There were still customers at the stall, and since Lu's mother couldn't leave, Lu's younger sister stayed to help.
Lu Yanzhao bought the medicine with Gu Nanjiao, and then followed a small path to the woods behind the academy.
"Where is this?" Gu Nanjiao couldn't help but ask.
Lu Yanzhao didn't say anything, and continued to pull Gu Nanjiao forward. After passing through a grove of trees, there was an abandoned hut at the end, filled with some miscellaneous items.
Looking at the dilapidated door, Gu Nanjiao was very curious about how Lu Yanzhao had found this storage room.
Suddenly the door was opened, and a pair of large hands wrapped around Gu Nanjiao's waist, leading her into the small house. The door was then slammed shut.
The storage room was dark, damp, and extremely dirty, with dust covering the floor. It seemed like no one had been there for a long time, and there wasn't even a place to sit.
Lu Yanzhao lifted his robe and sat down on the dusty table, which made Gu Nanjiao gasp in surprise. Lu Yanzhao, who was always very clean and refined, actually sat down without any regard for his image.
Before Gu Nanjiao could react, he pulled her onto his lap. Then, a pair of large hands quickly tore open Gu Nanjiao's collar, revealing a large expanse of her cleavage.
"Lu Yanzhao, what are you doing?" Gu Nanjiao exclaimed, and stood up abruptly from Lu Yanzhao's lap, but she was held firmly and could not move.
Lu Yanzhao did not answer, staring at Gu Nanjiao's reddened skin, his eyes darkening.
Gu Nanjiao felt extremely uncomfortable under Lu Yanzhao's gaze. She felt her thighs burning hot, and she was both ashamed and angry. She struggled to get up, but Lu Yanzhao pressed her down.
"Don't move!"
Gu Nanjiao continued to struggle. She had been single since birth for many years, and this was the first time a man had torn open her clothes and stared at her like this.
She's not moving? Impossible! Only a turtle would stay still!
"I told you not to move!" Lu Yanzhao roared. Gu Nanjiao was stunned by his frightening expression and immediately cowered, not daring to move.
Lu Yanzhao took out a small medicine bottle from behind him. The bottle contained some yellowish-green ointment. He carefully scooped out a little and applied it to her chest.
A slight coolness came over me, relieving the burning pain.
After a long while, until Gu Nanjiao's legs were numb, Lu Yanzhao finally released her.
Gu Nanjiao hunched her collar like a quail, not daring to look at Lu Yanzhao.
"Are there any other injuries?" Lu Yanzhao asked, meaning whether there were any injuries on his body other than his chest.
Feeling his gaze, Gu Nanjiao's cheeks flushed: "No, that's all."
"Let me see."
"Are you kidding me?"
"Is there anything on your stomach?" Lu Yanzhao ignored her and continued, "Lift it up a little bit, let me see. When you applied the medicine to my stomach before, you saw everything."
"Nonsense," Gu Nanjiao said irritably. "I only looked at your back, I didn't see anything naked."
"Then we're even for now."
"you……"
Gu Nanjiao was so angry she laughed, and she couldn't be bothered to pay him any attention.
Lu Yanzhao was concerned about her wounds. Without saying a word, he reached out and lifted her clothes. Seeing her clean, white belly without any redness or swelling, Lu Yanzhao was relieved.
The collar of her clothes had been torn off by Lu Yanzhao and hadn't been properly put back on. Now, he had lifted her clothes again, and her chest was exposed, revealing Gu Nanjiao's bra.
Gu Nanjiao was furious: "I already said no, Lu Yanzhao, what are you doing?"
Staring at Gu Nanjiao's peculiar bra, Lu Yanzhao's eyes narrowed slightly. So that thing wasn't for covering her eyes, it was a...
Lu Yanzhao's cheeks flushed, and he quickly looked away.
Gu Nanjiao straightened her clothes, her expression regaining its composure. What was she, a modern person, afraid of? It was just applying some medicine! Don't act like she was some ancient woman bound by the three obediences and four virtues.
"Let's go, or Mother will worry."
"Um."
Lu Yanzhao was still a little worried: "Are you in pain?"
"What a joke, of course it hurts."
"Then you need to be more careful in the future."
"nonsense!"
...
Inside the academy, Master Zheng's face was somewhat dark.
To think that he, a former Grand Secretary, had resigned and returned to his hometown to serve as the headmaster of Nanxiang Academy, and that a student had asked for leave when he finally had a chance to give a lecture, and that student was none other than Lu Yanzhao, whom he valued most.
Headmaster Zheng appears refined and approachable, with a smiling face, but he is actually the most strict. He gives a lecture every two weeks, and even the most mischievous students dare not ask for leave or be late without a reason. Not to mention that Lu Yanzhao is Headmaster Zheng's most valued student, and he wishes he could impart all his knowledge to him.
After Lu Yanzhao returned, he was taken away by the furious Headmaster Zheng.
"Yanzhao, I have placed my hopes on you, yet you dare to skip my class?"
Lu Yanzhao bowed respectfully, his attitude serious: "My wife was burned by the charcoal fire used to stir-fry the bullfrogs. I was very worried and couldn't get here in time. I hope the headmaster will punish me."
Zheng Shanchang stroked his beard, seemingly lost in thought: "Bullfrog?" Why did that sound so familiar? Was it the garlic bullfrog he had eaten before?
Although Master Zheng was puzzled, he could not break his rules, so he said solemnly, "You are a man of integrity and loyalty, but my rules cannot be broken."
Lu Yanzhao was eventually punished and was slapped ten times on the palm of his hand.
When Gu Nanjiao returned, most of the guests had left, and Lu's mother and Lu Xiaomei were packing up the stall.
Upon seeing Gu Nanjiao, Lu's mother quickly stepped forward and asked with concern, "Jiaojiao, are you alright? Is the medicine ready?"
"It's alright, the medicine has been applied."
Lu's mother was still a little worried: "Is it serious?"
Gu Nanjiao said nonchalantly, "It's not serious, it's nothing!" The next second, she accidentally brushed against her wound and gasped in pain.
Lu Xiaomei rushed over: "Sister-in-law, are you alright? I really don't know how my brother applied the medicine. I should have gone with him."
Gu Nanjiao laughed awkwardly: "I just accidentally brushed against it. Your brother was very careful and applied the medicine very well."
After saying that, she wished she could bite off her own tongue. Why was she discussing this with her sister-in-law?
The three of them packed up their stall and went home.
After dinner, Lu Yanzhao unexpectedly appeared at home.
Upon seeing Lu Yanzhao, Gu Nanjiao was the first to ask, "Why are you back?"
Lu Yanzhao stared at her for a while, his dark eyes churning with emotions that Gu Nanjiao couldn't understand.
After a long pause, he said, "I asked the teacher for leave. I will sleep at home tonight and go to the academy in the morning."
