She was wrong to do that. If Gu Linchao didn't go to the brothel to find girls, it means that the bone-dispersing incense on his body hadn't been removed. So, did he suffer inhuman torture last night?
"I went out for a walk and thought you should be awake by now, so I brought you the food." Gu Linchao said, avoiding the main point. He didn't tell her that he had sat on the roof all night. "Since you're up, go wash up and eat."
"Oh." Wen Nongnong ruffled her messy hair and was about to get out of bed when she suddenly remembered something and felt a little embarrassed. Did she look a bit sloppy?
She hesitated and looked at Gu Linchao.
But then she met his dark eyes.
She paused for a moment, then casually raised her hand to smooth her hair. "I was so tired last night that I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow, and I messed up my hair. I'm not usually like this..."
Listening to the girl's explanation, a faint smile flashed in Gu Linchao's eyes. His gaze fell on her messy hair, and he paused for a moment. Did she think he was a good sleeping person?
"It's alright," he said gently, then took a wooden comb from his pocket and handed it to her.
Wen Nongnong looked at him in surprise, "Where did you come from?"
"I just bought it outside," Gu Linchao said calmly.
Wen Nongnong reached out and took the comb, examining it closely.
This wooden comb isn't particularly exquisite, but it's meticulously carved with beautiful twin lotus flowers.
She glanced up at his expression. Could it be that he bought it especially for her?
Thinking of this, she said happily, "Thank you, Your Highness, I like it very much." As she spoke, she sat cross-legged on the bed, combed her long hair with a wooden comb, and couldn't help but hum a tune.
Gu Linchao glanced at her and noticed that the girl liked to hum tunes when she was happy.
He smirked, walked to the window, and as soon as he opened it, he saw a coat hanging on the windowsill.
He paused, raised his hand to touch it, and seeing that it was dry, he put it away.
Wen Nongnong sat on the bed combing her hair. She saw him standing by the window, his jet-black hair cascading down his shoulders and back. His wide sleeves were lifted by the wind, revealing his slender wrists...
She was taken aback, noticing that Gu Linchao had suddenly lost a lot of weight in the past two days.
Although he was already thin, at this moment, he appeared unusually emaciated to her.
She pursed her lips, slipped on her shoes, and walked over.
She was about to say something, but when she saw what he was holding, her face flushed red instantly.
"Your Highness, you...you..." Peach blossom eyes widened as she looked at him in surprise.
Gu Linchao turned his head and, seeing her reaction, looked at what he was holding and immediately felt a little awkward. "I washed it for you last night, and it's dry now." As he spoke, he handed her the folded pocket he was holding.
Wen Nongnong: "..."
She felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
Gu Linchao actually washed her bellyband?
Ah, isn't this... a bit too intimate?
She swallowed hard, blushed, and accepted the gift, saying softly, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Gu Linchao also felt a little uncomfortable and turned to look out the window.
Wen Nongnong quickly stuffed her pocket into the bundle on the table, then casually tied her hair into a high ponytail before going to wash up.
After washing her face, the fever had subsided. She sat down at the table and said casually, "Your Highness, come and eat with us."
Gu Linchao turned around and saw that she had finished washing up, but her hair was simply combed. He paused for a moment, then walked over.
