Mo Junxing looked at her.
"What is it?"
He repeated it again.
Why do you ask this?
Gu Jingchun paused for a moment, unsure of how to begin.
"I...I'm fine..."
Mo Junxing looked at her, but his hand inside his sleeve was unconsciously touching the hairpin.
Gu Jingchun originally wanted to take this opportunity to deliberately show goodwill to Mo Junxing, and at the same time increase Mo Junxing's expectations, so that he would definitely ask her out that night.
However, when she looked at Mo Junxing, she always thought of Shen Hechuan, who was far away in Tiandu, and she couldn't even keep up the pretense anymore.
She simply stood up, picked up the bowl, and began to feed Mo Junxing.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to be nicer to you so you'd tell me more about Seele."
Upon hearing this, Mo Junxing snorted coldly, but seeing Gu Jingchun feeding him spoonful by spoonful of porridge, he still accepted it one spoonful at a time.
Han Sheng looked at Mo Junxing's expression, lowered his head, and managed to suppress his laughter.
After all, Mo Junxing disliked plain porridge the most.
Previously, when Han Sheng tried to feed him, he would frown and refuse to eat, leaving Han Sheng physically and mentally exhausted.
They're enjoying their food now.
After finishing their meal and arriving at the room, Gu Jingchun unusually took the initiative to go into Mo Junxing's room and feed him his medicine.
Mo Junxing maintained his usual cold expression, but a hint of tenderness, which he himself was unaware of, appeared in his icy eyes.
After feeding him the medicine, Gu Jingchun breathed a slight sigh of relief, but put on a gentle smile.
Mo Junxing suddenly turned cold and grabbed Gu Jingchun by the neck.
"What... exactly do you want to do?"
Gu Jingchun frowned, pushing Mo Junxing forcefully as he spoke with difficulty:
"I...I didn't mean to do anything, I just...wanted to...be nicer to you..."
Mo Junxing sneered.
"You...are you good to me?"
"Oh--"
Gu Jingchun forcefully shook off Mo Junxing's hand.
"You're a madman!"
"Can't I even be nice to you?"
As she spoke, she clutched her neck and took a step back, her eyes filled with terror and anger.
"No wonder no one wants to be close to you. You, Mo Junxing, are a cold-hearted monster. It's no wonder that Empress Xiao was willing to risk everything to kill you. You deserve it!"
After Gu Jingchun finished speaking, he stormed out in a huff.
After returning to her room, she sat down on the floor in fear, her hand trembling slightly as she clutched her neck.
After releasing Gu Jingchun, Mo Junxing's gaze fell on Gu Jingchun's neck. Upon seeing the red marks on her neck, a hint of heartache unconsciously appeared in his eyes.
He opened his mouth, wanting to comfort Gu Jingchun, but after hearing Gu Jingchun's words, he was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Even after Gu Jingchun left, he kept looking at his hands and didn't say another word.
After a long pause, he chuckled self-deprecatingly.
Yes, he is a cold-hearted monster, and everyone who gets close to him becomes unhappy.
Even so, she couldn't leave even a step!
Gu Jingchun stayed in the room for a long time.
After the initial fear, she began to regret it.
I regret not being able to control my mouth.
After scolding Mo Junxing, how should I coax him to go to the back mountain?
Should I take him there directly, scold him, and then take her there? That would be too suspicious and would make Mo Junxing suspicious.
As time passed little by little, the sky grew darker and darker, and the sun was about to set.
She sighed and finally got up to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Mo Junxing's face was filled with surprise.
He was raising his hand, clearly about to knock on the door.
Both of them were clearly stunned for a moment, and Mo Junxing remained silent with a cold face.
He had clearly dressed up carefully today, wearing a new outfit. His dark robe was embroidered with silver threads, which made him look understated yet noble.
The flowing fabric perfectly accentuated his broad shoulders and narrow waist, making him stand out.
Gu Jingchun looked him over before speaking first.
"Your injury is healed? You can stand up now?"
Mo Junxing nodded somewhat awkwardly.
"You... come here."
Gu Jingchun was confused and didn't want to talk to him, but then he remembered that he still needed to find a way to take him to the back mountain, so he followed him anyway.
However, to her utter surprise, Mo Junxing actually led her out of the courtyard and out of there.
******
At this moment, Shen Hechuan finally arrived at the post station.
As soon as you enter, you see the dilapidated post station. Even though it has been cleaned up now, you can still guess how intense the battle was back then from the extent of its ruin.
Standing here, Shen Hechuan felt his head go blank and his hands go slightly numb.
Tianji noticed his unusual behavior and quickly spoke up.
"Master, don't worry. Young Master Ye has already given us Miss Gu's location in the information he provided. Let's go there now."
Shen Hechuan nodded and immediately headed towards Gu Jingchun's location.
However, just as they got close, someone suddenly blocked their way.
The newcomer was a man dressed in coarse cloth clothes, who appeared in front of them unintentionally.
Tianji and Dizhi immediately stood in front of Shen Hechuan, watching him warily.
The man had clear eyes and regular features. After looking at them, he immediately bowed and then raised his head, his lips curving into a smile as he looked at them.
"May I ask if you are Shen Hechuan?"
Tianji immediately spoke.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Xin Shengyuan. I have come here specifically to wait for you on Ye Wenxi's orders."
Upon hearing this, Shen Hechuan stepped forward.
Later, after Xin Shengyuan explained, they understood that Xin Shengyuan had already contacted Gu Jingchun and understood Gu Jingchun's current situation.
Especially after learning that Gu Jingchun was not injured, but was simply imprisoned by Mo Junxing in a farmer's courtyard, he breathed a deep sigh of relief.
After Xin Shengyuan finished explaining the matter, he kept observing Mo Junxing's reaction.
After all, it's rare for a man not to care that the woman he loves is living in the same courtyard with another man for so long.
This is also the main reason why he deliberately told Shen Hechuan about this beforehand.
If Shen Hechuan were to show any dissatisfaction now, he would immediately lead Shen Hechuan down another path.
Then he would leave with Gu Jingchun, giving him absolutely no chance to doubt Gu Jingchun.
Shen Hechuan was most concerned about Gu Jingchun's health and didn't care at all about living with Mo Junxing.
This reassured Xin Shengyuan considerably, and he then told him about Gu Jingchun's plan.
Upon hearing this, Shen Hechuan immediately frowned.
