Chapter 70 Sleeping on One Bed
2171 Words
After walking for a while in the snow, Leng Qingtang looked straight ahead and suddenly asked,
"Girl, you like children very much, don't you?"
"!"
The Master's question was too abrupt. Gu Yunxi dared not answer it hastily.
Obviously, he was a eunuch. Even if they lived together in the future, they would have no children.
Right now he asked this kind of question. She naturally thought that he deliberately probed her because of inferiority.
"Master, why are you asking this?"
"I just saw you disregarding yourself, feeding the decoction mouth-to-mouth to save the kid with asthma. I felt that you might like children."
He walked with his head raised, his beautiful eyes narrowed, and his elegant smile showed a hint of cunning wickedness.
"I, I don't like children!"
Gu Yunxi bowed her head slightly and answered firmly.
"Master, you don't know how annoying those little kids are! I am a child who need to be held by Master, too. How can I let other children share your favor with me?"
Ha-ha, the little girl was getting more and more obedient. Her mouth was sweeter than honey.
Leng Qingtang looked down, happened to see Gu Yunxi's admiring eyesight.
Knowing that she didn't tell the truth, he didn't blame her. Reliving her words repeatedly, his heart had been filled with warmth.
His mouth raised evilly, and a smile appeared on his handsome white face. The Master said meaningfully,
"Okay. In the future, I will spoil you as my daughter during the daytime."
Day... Daytime?
Gu Yunxi seemed to understand but didn't understand. She felt that the Master had something more to say. But after waiting for a moment, she didn't hear him say another word.
Looked up in surprise, she only saw that the Master's expression was easy. He looked ahead, and every step under his feet was very energetic. At this moment, his feeling was complicated.
"Yunxi, one day you will know my identity. At that time, I will marry you, give you everything in the world, and never let you down."
Gu Yunxi's forehead suddenly felt itchy. It was the Master rubbing her hair curtain with his cheek, and the expression of him was full of love.
Looking at each other, the tenderness rippled gently in their hearts, wave after wave, and gradually dispersed.
Gu Yunxi was a little shy. She inadvertently glanced back. Not far away, the group of people either chuckled or whispered. At the moment, Gu Yunxi became shyer and buried her head deep in the Master's warm, fragrant chest.
Guo's Mansion.
Mrs. Yin Guo had returned after distributing the porridge. She was waiting for them anxiously at the moment. Seeing the Master holding dusty Gu Yunxi personally, followed a large group of people, she was stunned.
"What happened?" Mrs. Yin Guo asked.
Her daughter Feiyi answered,
"The porridge shed was crushed by the snow, which almost hurt Master's wife. I will order the servants to prepare hot water and let the Madam bathe and change her clothes."
Mrs. Yin Guo was shocked, and she hurriedly arranged servants to boil water, prepare new clothes, and so on. And then she went to send for a massage doctor to let him treat Gu Yunxi's foot injury.
Leng Qingtang was not as nervous as Mrs. Yin Guo and Feiyi. He smiled and said to them,
"No bother. I will take care of her personally."
After a while, the hot water was ready in the bathroom.
Gu Yunxi just stood up, and the Master's long arm had reached.
There was no need to be so nervous.
Gu Yunxi took advantage of him and tried two steps with the Master's help. Apart from the soreness of her ankles, she didn't feel any other problems, so she took a bath with Feiyi happily.
Guo's Mansion was not like Leng Qingtang's Master's Mansion. There were no cold-proof walls. Every room was heated by a stove, and floor heating was only provided in the bathroom.
As soon as she came in, Gu Yunxi felt that the whole room was warm. White smoke continued to appear from the large bathtub in front of her, floating around her body, and many dry petals floated on the hot water.
Feiyi was afraid that Gu Yunxi would feel cold, so she moved in two more charcoal basins.
Everything arranged, Feiyi went out and left Qinger to serve Gu Yunxi. After taking a bath, Gu Yunxi changed into a brand-new dress. Qinger wrapped her tight with a cloak to protect her from cold and escorted her back to the room to rest.
The dinner was taken here by Mrs. Yin Guo herself. She told Yunxi and Qinger that the prefect had returned to the Mansion. At this time, he was serving dinner with the Master in the dining room.
When Mrs. Yin Guo left, she gave Qinger a bag of herbs prepared according to a folk secret recipe, which could treat Gu Yunxi's pain specifically. She said that Yunxi needed to soak the herbs in hot water for a moment and soak her feet in the water. It could relieve the discomfort of muscles and bones.
After Mrs. Yin Guo and her servants went out, Qinger opened the package and looked at it. It was nothing more than herbs such as Honghua, Jianghuang, Tianjihuang and Guigan. So she boiled water, soaked the herbs in the foot-bath for a while, and brought the basin to the bed.
The door of the house squeaked, and Leng Qingtang entered. He had just bathed. When he entered the room, he was wrapped in a damp, light fragrance.
Qinger was squatting by the bed. She was going to take off Gu Yunxi's shoes and socks and help her to soak her feet. Hearing the sound, she turned back to see the Master. She was stunned.
"Master..." There was no time for her to get up, so she nodded to salute the Master in a hurry.
"Qinger, you have been busy these days. Go to the room and have a rest. Tonight, I will take care of your Lady."
Leng Qingtang finished talking casually. He took a teacup from the table and poured himself a cup of hot water to drink. Obviously, his posture of standing there suggested that he was waiting for Qinger to make room for him.
Qinger immediately understood his meaning. She got up and said, "Let me change your new bedding, please."
Looking at each other, the two girls were nervous and anxious.
God! Tonight, the Master was going to share the bed with Lady?
Thinking of this, Qinger took out the new bedding from the wooden cage carved with pomegranate and jujube at the head of the bed, replaced it quickly, and put the old stacks neatly on the cage.
Gu Yunxi sat on the bed, silently watched Qinger, and didn't dare to look at the Master.
Of course, since he entered the room and said something like that, she already knew what was going to happen next.
Master was going to sleep in this room tonight, and there was only one single bed.
Qinger finished her work. When she turned around, she looked at Gu Yunxi's face again, and the moment of eye contact seemed to be saying to her,
Lady, good luck...
Passing by the Master, Qinger saluted him again, bowed her head, and went out.
There were only Gu Yunxi and Master left in the room. Their expressions were quite different. One was at a loss, and one was at ease.
"Sit well, take off your shoes and socks, and let the water warm your feet..."
He looked at her and smiled. He took off the robe and the black hat on his head while talking.
Gu Yunxi was obedient. She took off her shoes and socks slowly, exposing a pair of lovely white feet.
She just took a bath before dinner, and now these two jade feet were delicate and silky. Wrapped tightly with a layer of moist steam, they were particularly adorable and attractive.
She obediently soaked her feet in the yellow herb liquid. The herb scum, which had been softened by hot water, scoured the bottom of her feet, making her feel very comfortable.
Leng Qingtang had rolled up the sleeves and taken a stool to sit in front of her. He put his plain white hands directly into the herb liquid.
"Master!"
When Gu Yunxi saw that her little feet were caught by his two big hands, she yelled. She was so ashamed that her ears became hot.
Leng Qingtang felt her resistance and smiled with his lips closed.
"Since you want to follow me and be my wife, what are you shy for? While the herb liquid is hot and the effect is still there, I can knead your feet. It will help to cure your pain more quickly."
Gu Yunxi heard the words and kept still.
That made sense. Now that she had decided to follow him all her life and be his wife, she must learn to adapt to getting physical and living with him in the same room.
Not to mention that when he applied acupuncture to treat her blood phobia, every part of her body had been seen was more private than her feet.
Seeing that Gu Yunxi was finally willing to sit down obediently, Leng Qingtang grabbed her foot and lifted it out of the herb liquid.
Gu Yunxi's feet were very delicate, small, and white, like jade without any moles or other defects. He had already found them once when he tucked quilt for her at the East Depot.
Ten fingers gently rubbed and pressed on the slender white foot, and he knew the acupoints, so the finger strength was just right.
Pinched for a while, Gu Yunxi felt that her ankle was not as sore as it was just now.
Once her tender skin was touched by the fingers with thin callus, the wonderful feeling of continuous itching made Gu Yunxi trembled in shyness.
In silence, Gu Yunxi peeked at the Master. His movements were obviously slower and slower. His quiet gaze firmly focused on her white feet, and it seemed to be becoming blurred.
"Master, the water is cold..."
After a while, when she saw his movements stopped completely but his fixed eyes were not about to look away, Gu Yunxi whispered.
"Oh..." The Master returned to his mind and smiled at her in embarrassment.
Using a towel to wipe off the water on her feet, the Master held her up sideways and put her on the bed.
Maybe she was too shy, or maybe the foot massage was really effective. At this time, Gu Yunxi was warm all over his body, exuding a thin layer of fragrant sweat.
After that, not only her feet but also her entire body was lighter and more vigorous.
"Wait for me, and be a good girl."
Saying this, Leng Qingtang pushed the foot basin under the bed, turned around, and walked over to the basin shelf to clean the face and hands. Then he returned to the bed.
Gu Yunxi sat on the bed with her legs hidden under the warm and soft peacock-blue brocade quilt. When She looked up, she saw that the tall Master stood upright in front of her, wearing a white gown.
Her heart seemed to be weightlessness suddenly. It jumped in an abnormal rhythm for no reason.
"What are you waiting for? Move inside and leave me a place to sleep!"
Leng Qingtang had already found the panic and anxiety in Gu Yunxi's eyes. However, his smile was soft and easy.
"Oh."
She answered vaguely, and her two cheeks blushed. Quickly lowering her head, she leaned back towards the wall.
Leng Qingtang took off his boots, went to bed, lifted the quilt, and put his slender legs in.
Silent, too silent...
Gu Yunxi was so nervous that she sat on the bed with her eyes wide open. Her small hands placed on the quilt to pinch the brocade cover.
There were bursts of the familiar cold fragrance. As the person on her side approached inch by inch, the fragrance became stronger and stronger.
"The quilt belongs to the Guo. It will soon be torn by you."
Leng Qingtang said softly. His arm fell on her shoulder, and he circled her into his arms.
The body next to the body, they could clearly feel the temperature of each other's skin with only two thin pajamas between them.
No matter how close they were before, she was really sharing one bed with him at the moment, and neither of them was drunk. Their minds were both clear.
Gu Yunxi's body staked, and she felt that she couldn't handle this situation. Her eyes looked down uncontrollably. And she didn't dare to meet the Master's gaze.
"Afraid of me?"
Leng Qingtang asked gently beside her ear.
They seemed to be too close to each other. At this moment, he had already heard of her abnormal heartbeat.
