"I had already bathed when I came here," Gu Linchao said calmly, then paused and softened his voice, "Nongnong, come and help me change."
Wen Nongnong: "..."
This time, she really couldn't laugh anymore.
Is it too late to go to bed now?
She swallowed hard, regretting that she shouldn't have brought up sleeping.
She slowly got up, moved to his side, and with trembling hands, reached for the belt at his waist.
She took a deep breath. What was there to be afraid of? She would just treat the man in front of her as an actor she was acting opposite.
And when he was sick last time, didn't she undress him too?
Furthermore, this wasn't the first time the two had shared a room; they had slept in the same room in Tunzhou last time.
Besides, Gu Linchao is a gentleman; he's not the kind of person who would act recklessly, so she has no reason to worry.
Thinking about it this way, she was indeed less nervous. She deftly pulled off the belt around his waist, and when she was about to give him another monthly allowance, he grabbed her wrist.
The man looked at her with his deep, dark eyes. "Why are you so afraid?"
Wen Nongnong blinked and shook her head. "I'm not scared, I'm excited. Yes, I'm too excited, too thrilled." After saying that, she lowered her head shyly.
Gu Linchao: "..."
He pursed his lips. What was she so excited about?
His clenched fingers, hidden in his sleeve, betrayed his nervousness.
After Wen Nongnong finished being shy, she wanted to continue undressing him.
Having prepared herself mentally, she was no longer so nervous, and instead felt a sense of anticipation at the prospect of seeing the handsome man's muscular physique.
However, her outstretched hand missed its target. Gu Linchao suddenly took two steps back, took off his outer robe, glanced at her, and then walked straight to the bedside and sat down.
Wen Nongnong: "..."
What kind of look was that on his face just now?!
Why did she sense a hint of defensiveness in it?
What is he, a grown man, guarding against?
It made her seem like a female hooligan.
I'm so annoyed.
Shouldn't we be on guard against her?
She muttered to herself, took off her outer garment and hung it on the screen, then walked to the bedside, kicked off her shoes, and was about to climb up when she met the man's dark and deep eyes.
The two stared at each other for a moment, then Gu Linchao closed his eyelids and said gently, "You sleep inside."
"Oh," Wen Nongnong responded, and crawled in from beside his feet.
After she lay down, wrapped in the blanket, her heart inexplicably started racing.
Suddenly, the presence of a man filled the bed curtains, leaving her momentarily stunned.
Gu Linchao smelled clean and pleasant, unlike the men of later generations who smelled of tobacco or alcohol, a chaotic and unpleasant odor.
She clutched the corner of the blanket and secretly looked up at him.
He lay on his back, seemingly lost in thought, unusually quiet.
What Wen Nongnong didn't know was that Gu Linchao was also feeling somewhat out of place at this moment.
The room filled with the sweet scent of the girl.
And the girl was lying right beside him, her soft body pressed against his arm...
He was somewhat stunned; this was something he had never experienced in his more than twenty years of life.
It was unfamiliar, yet so sweet, stimulating every nerve in his body.
Suddenly, I felt a poke on my arm.
He was taken aback for a moment, then heard the girl say softly, "Is Your Highness asleep?"
Her voice sounded so close, as if it were right next to his ear.
Gu Linchao's heart skipped a beat. He didn't turn to look at her, but his voice was a little tight. "No."
