C13 Weird and Warm

When she accidentally touched Han Junyao's reverse scale, Gu Xi secretly cried out in her heart, "Not good!"

Before he even started to flare up, Gu Xi was the first to speak. She said in a spoiled manner, "I didn't intentionally shake you off. You're the one who hurt me."

After he finished speaking, he extended his white and smooth wrist, which astonishingly had a red mark on it. Coupled with Gu Xi's aggrieved expression, Han Junyao's complexion finally improved slightly.

There wasn't much emotion in her eyes as she signaled for Gu Xi to return, but she didn't want to go back so early. Although it was very beautiful, it was no different from a prison in her eyes.

"I still want to stroll around Hundred Flowers Street, okay? The flowers there should also be in full bloom. "

Ye Zichen looked at the straight man in front of him with anticipation. This time, she seriously wanted to go for a walk.

In her previous life, she had enjoyed visiting Hundred Flowers Street. At the moment of her death, she thought she would never be able to see this place again. Unexpectedly, the heavens gave her another chance, so of course she wanted to have a good look.

Who knew when the next time he would be able to come out.

"No, let's go back to the manor."

He ruthlessly rejected Gu Xi's pitiful request. She actually took advantage of his entanglement with the military general to secretly flee from him. This debt, he hadn't settled with her yet.

Gu Xi wanted to say something else to move Han Junyao, but she seemed to have forgotten that the King didn't like this.

He was still as tough as before, but this time his movements were much gentler, afraid that he would hurt her the same way he did before.

Ye Zichen stuck out his tongue coquettishly behind Ye Zichen's back, while thinking that he was a heartless and ungrateful wood, so Ye Zichen didn't even let him go to Hundred Flowers Street.

At that time, a woman was standing on the wet ground. Her slender hands tightly held onto the railing as she chattered on.

"I really didn't know that the stone spice was poisonous. If I did, how would I have dared to come here alone and be so stupid as to poison it in broad daylight?" I am also a victim, so I should return my justice and not abuse my lynchings! "

Lonely Shadow felt that it was too noisy, so he scratched his ears out of boredom and just thought that she was struggling with her life on the line.

Ever since he locked her in the prison, this woman's mouth was crackling like firecrackers. As for the content, it was simply that she was innocent and had ironclad evidence like a mountain.

Lin Yi Rong had obviously treated Gu Ying as her last hope. She was, after all, the young miss of the Lin Clan. Since young, when had she suffered so much before?

She always felt uncomfortable here, especially when the rats were scuttling around in the opposite cage.

Ignoring Lonely Shadow's reaction, she continued to explain in all kinds of ways. For example, someone might have spilled poison powder on the stone spice when she wasn't paying attention, but she really wasn't aware of it.

However, no matter what she said, Lonely Shadow completely ignored her.

Not long after, she also understood that this method of hers didn't work. She didn't want to wait here for death. Fighting head on wasn't a good idea.

He softly sighed, "Sigh, the Yan King's power is too great. I am only the young miss of the Lin Clan, so I can only resign myself to my fate."

This sudden turn of events left Lonely Shadow somewhat startled. Weren't they still fighting for their lives just a moment ago? How did they figure it out so quickly? He pricked up his ears and waited for Lin Yi Rong's next words.

I know that I'm a bit overestimating myself, but I want to meet Gu Xi once. We grew up together, and our relationship is stronger than Jin Jian's, so now I'm about to go. Of course I want to see her again.

After he finished speaking, he deliberately used an embroidered handkerchief to ruthlessly wipe his dry eyes to create an illusion …

On the other side, Gu Xi had a glum expression after being rejected by Han Junyao. However, when Han Junyao glanced at her intentionally or unintentionally, she immediately put on an aggressive, mischievous look.

He didn't say anything along the way, finally arriving at the palace. Han Junyao's steps were steady, carrying a sense of oppression. It made Gu Xi feel like she was suffocating for no reason at all.

When they arrived at the courtyard, the bodyguards immediately left. In the entire courtyard, only Gu Xi and Han Junyao looked at each other.

Han Junyao looked at Gu Xi without saying a word. The emotions in his eyes were too deep, so no one could clearly tell what he was thinking.

Having lived two lives, Gu Xi's eyesight was naturally faster than an average person's. Her scalp was slightly numb at the beginning. She was very afraid that Han Junyao would not say a word, looking like a master on the verge of exploding.

Suddenly, she remembered that she made a bold move back at Jade Fragrance Restaurant — personally examining the body.

She was a poisoned man, yet she was so bold that it attracted attention. She couldn't help but feel her heart sink. She understood that she had overstepped her limits today.

He threw himself into Han Junyao's firm embrace, and the aura of a man that belonged solely to him assaulted her. She had no time to admire him.

"Luckily, with you here, I dared to do things I didn't dare to do before. For my father, I had to put everything on the line, and it was precisely because of you that I didn't have any reservations."

She knew that he would only use force over force. It was absolutely impossible for him to use force against force, so he could only use softness.

He remained silent. There was no emotion in his eyes. He only quietly listened to what she was about to say.

Gu Xi's expression instantly turned gentle, but her eyes were not fully focused. She said, "You are the source of my courage."

There was no lack of attachment and ambiguity in his tone.

Hearing these words, Han Junyao raised his arms and gently hugged her back, his chin resting on her smooth and silky hair.

His eyes, however, were dim and flickering.

Gu Xi sensed his reaction and hugged Han Junyao even more tightly, her heart racing.

Every time she was with him, she felt a sense of oppression. Fortunately, she understood his personality, and she was able to find a solution to his problem every single time.

She took a deep breath. She had finally gotten over it. There was nothing she could do about it.

At this moment, in the empty courtyard, the fragrance of flowers and the chirping of birds filled the air. The two people in the courtyard were warmly embracing each other.

However, neither their eyes nor their thoughts were hidden within this sudden gentleness …

He didn't want to help her, but she was too long-winded, sighed, and wept.

When he heard that her feelings were stronger than Jin Jian's, he couldn't help but sneer. Why couldn't he see that Jin Jian's feelings were stronger than Jin Jian's?

As soon as he entered the courtyard, just as he was about to speak, he saw the scene of Han Junyao and Gu Xi embracing each other tenderly. Lonely Shadow couldn't help but be flabbergasted.

When had his master ever met anyone else? Could it be that this Miss Gu was really the nemesis of his family's master?

Oblivious to the peculiar thoughts running through his mind, Lonely Shadow knew that it was not the best choice to disturb the others at this moment. However, the young miss of the Lin Family was truly annoying.

He cleared his throat slightly.

Suddenly, this warm and strange scene was broken.
