Reminded by him, Wen Nongnong finally remembered and stammered, "I...I need to get up in the middle of the night..."
Gu Linchao paused for a moment, then got up and turned on the lights in the room without saying anything more.
Wen Nongnong quickly got up, put on her shoes, and rushed outside.
But not long after, she returned, head drooping, and said dejectedly, "Your Highness, where is the latrine? Could you take me there?"
Gu Linchao paused for a moment and said, "Wait a moment."
Wen Nongnong was about to cry, rubbing her legs as she said, "Your Highness, can you hurry up?"
Gu Linchao glanced at her and, seeing how anxious she was, had no choice but to give up on lighting the lantern. Instead, he took out a luminous pearl from the box on the table and said, "Let's go."
Wen Nong Nong's gaze was drawn to the luminous pearl in his hand, and she followed closely behind him, her eyes fixed on the pearl.
Once outside the latrine, Gu Linchao handed her the luminous pearl, saying, "It's dark inside, so take this."
Wen Nongnong reached out and took it, then, remembering something, said with some worry, "What if the luminous pearl falls into the pit?"
Gu Linchao's expression froze. "Weren't you in a hurry? Why do you care if it falls into a pit or not?"
"Of course I have to ask clearly. The luminous pearl is so precious. If it falls into a pit, Your Highness can't make me pay for it," Wen Nongnong said persistently.
Gu Linchao sighed, "Don't worry, if I fall into a pit, I definitely won't make you pay for it."
"You said it yourself." Wen Nongnong was relieved and took the luminous pearl into the latrine.
Gu Linchao had good hearing and heard the sound of her unzipping her pants. His handsome face flushed, and he quickly walked away.
A short while later, Wen Nongnong came out again, looking panicked, and said, "Your Highness, what should we do? The luminous pearl has fallen into the pit."
Gu Linchao: "..."
"You said you wouldn't make me pay for it," Wen Nongnong said timidly, her head drooping.
"How could it be such a coincidence that he actually fell down?" Gu Linchao's eye twitched.
"It was fine at first, I was holding it in my hand the whole time, but when I was putting on my pants, I couldn't free my hand, and in a moment of inattention, the luminous pearl fell in," Wen Nongnong said, her face contorted with distress. "What should we do? Should we call someone to retrieve it?"
Gu Linchao: "..."
"Why isn't Your Highness saying anything? Are you angry with me?" Wen Nongnong grabbed his sleeve and shook it, feeling very guilty and ashamed. "I'm so stupid, I can't even hold a luminous pearl properly. Your Highness, please punish me..."
Gu Linchao pressed his temples and said helplessly, "Never mind, it was just a luminous pearl. Let's go back to Muchuijue."
"Okay." Wen Nongnong was extremely obedient.
After returning to her room, Wen Nongnong washed her hands before walking back to the bedside.
She kicked off her shoes, climbed into bed, and lay down obediently.
Gu Linchao walked over, saw her shoes lying haphazardly, bent down, arranged them neatly, then turned off the light and lay back down on the couch.
"Your Highness, I'm very sleepy. I'm going to sleep now," Wen Nongnong said, yawning as she turned her back to him and went to her side.
Actually, at this moment, she had no intention of looking down at him at all.
Using the blanket as cover, she rummaged in her bosom and pulled out something wrapped in a handkerchief.
She just glanced at him from under the covers; surely Gu Linchao wouldn't notice?
She comforted herself in this way, and couldn't help but tear off the handkerchief.
A round object immediately landed on the bedding, illuminating the dim bed as bright as day.
She was startled, quickly wrapped it up again with the handkerchief, and stuffed it back into her bosom.
That was close!
Wen Nongnong dared not play with the luminous pearl anymore and quickly lay down to sleep.
Little did they know, Gu Linchao had already seen it all along.
