Chapter 78： : trapped in her smile

With his arms empty, Gu Xueting felt as if his heart was also empty.

“Get up quickly, the food is getting cold.”

Shen Yizhi ignored Gu Xueting and walked over.

“Drink this cup of fish soup first.”

After Gu Xueting sat down at the table, Shen Yizhi opened the lid of the cup and pushed it over.

It is not without reason that this soup is called angel fish soup. It is made in batches carefully. It uses the heat from the old hen soup to slowly smoke the crucian carp meat hanging above the soup and then cooks it.

The taste is definitely better than the fairy soup!

Originally, she planned to make it a midnight snack for Qing Bao, but now it is easier for Gu Xueting.

Just as Gu Xueting was about to put the soup into his mouth, Qing Bao, a foodie, ran over and stared at him.

He simply sat him on his lap, fed him a spoonful, and then ate it himself.

Qing Bao narrowed his eyes at the delicious fish soup, "It tastes good! And—"

Watching the "father and son" eating the meal lovingly, Shen Yizhi sat aside and watched with his snow cheeks propped up, his eyes so soft that they seemed to be dripping with water.

Gu Xueting saw it inadvertently, and the tip of his heart felt as if it was tickled by a soft feather, itching, forcing him to do something.

Before she could react, he had already put a piece of green vegetables to her mouth.

I thought she would refuse, but unexpectedly, she opened her lips slightly and took in the green vegetables.

Gu Xueting looked at her opening and closing red lips, and his eyes instantly became extremely dark.

Shen Yizhi didn't realize until he took it into his mouth that his whole body felt bad.

“I, I suddenly remembered something else, please eat slowly.”

She ran away.

Gu Xueting smiled lowly and said in Qing Bao's ear, "Your mother is shy."

Shen Yizhi thought that Gu Xueting would stay for at least a few days this time, but he didn't expect that he would leave after finishing his meal and putting Qing Bao to sleep.

“Why are you in such a hurry?”

"Can't you let me go?" Gu Xueting grabbed one of her hands and wrapped it around her like a jade stone, covering everything from the back of the hand to the fingers and even the fingernails.

Seeing that he seemed to want to bring it to his mouth for a kiss, she panicked and pulled her hand back, "Who wouldn't want to give it up! I just feel a little surprised."

"You are telling the truth." Gu Xueting scratched her face, "The imperial capital is a bit chaotic right now. I came here at night and have to rush back before tomorrow morning."

Walking from the imperial capital to here and back overnight?

How did he do it?

Seeing the shock in Shen Yizhi's eyes, he suddenly leaned closer to her, "Want to know?"

Shen Yizhi is indeed very curious.

Although I have long known that there are many things in this world that are beyond common sense, I still can’t help but be surprised when I see them.

Gu Xueting pulled her into his arms and said, "Hold me tight."

He said the same thing that time when he took her flying up from the bottom of the cliff.

Shen Yizhi chose to hug his neck this time.

Feeling the warmth in his arms, the smile on Gu Xueting's lips deepened, and he jumped out of the window with her, rising instead of falling, to the roof.

A huge black bird stood on it.

The two wings are spread out to a length of seven or eight meters.

Shen Yizhi was startled at first, and then realized that the big bird didn't seem to be a living thing?

“This is a puppet bird developed by the Mohists. As long as it is equipped with a driving stone, it can spread its wings and fly thousands of miles a day.”

Gu Xueting led Shen Yizhi to the puppet bird so that she could watch it up close.

Shen Yizhi’s attention was focused on the puppet bird, and he was not aware of the intimacy between the two at this moment.

Other than being unable to move, the puppet bird in front of me was no different from a real bird. It was lifelike. Its feathers, which were dark purple and nearly ink, felt smooth to the touch, as if they were real feathers.

Gu Xueting said: "This puppet bird is made from a real bird demon, that's why it is so lifelike."

"I see."

Shen Yizhi walked around the puppet bird and asked, "What is the driving stone you just mentioned?"

Gu Xueting spread his hands, and in his palm lay a stone the size of a fingernail. It was crystal clear and radiant, with a faint halo like moonlight flowing on its surface.

“It’s so beautiful!” Shen Yizhi picked it up and couldn’t put it down.

Soon, she felt that there was a spiritual power in the stone.

Could this be the spiritual stone that Yi Chang mentioned?

Gu Xueting put her palms together and wrapped them, "I'll give it to you if you like it."

It was rare for her to express her love for something so clearly in front of him, so he naturally wanted to satisfy her.

I have even thought about how to collect more driving stones like this and give them to her.

Under the clear and bright moonlight, there is a man and a woman alone on an undisturbed roof. The atmosphere is so good that it seems that it would be bad if we don’t do something.

Shen Yizhi took a step closer to Gu Xueting, almost touching him, and opened her crimson lips: "Are you trying to please me?"

Gu Xueting lowered his head, his gaze focused on her, gradually tightening, "Yes."

Stretch out your hand to pull the person into your arms.

Shen Yizhi slipped away like a nimble fish, turned back and smiled at him, "Wait for me, I'll be back as soon as I can."

The clothes were flowing and the steps were brisk, disappearing from his sight.

Gu Xueting was trapped in her smile and could not recover for a long time.

Shen Yizhi returned to the house, covered his chest to calm his beating heart, and began to pack things.

Mostly some food and drink, two sets of clothes, and a purse.

The clothes and purse had been prepared a long time ago, but it was just because Gu Xueting left them without saying goodbye before.

There is enough stuff stuffed into a big baggage.

She carried it to the roof and handed it to him.

“Go back and look again.”

"good."

“When will you next...”

He put the things down, held her face in his hands, and said in a gentle voice that seemed to melt away, "I will come to accompany you and Qing Bao as soon as the matter in Beijing is over."

Shen Yizhi looked into his eyes and said, "June 18th is Qing Bao's birthday. You must come then."

“Okay, I promise.”

"Okay, you should go." Shen Yizhi turned his face.

"Zhizhi, have you forgotten something?" Gu Xueting's voice rang in her ears.

“Forgot what—”

She didn’t expect that when she tilted her head, her lips would touch his.

Gu Xueting held her waist and pushed her into his arms. He held the back of her head with his other hand and deepened the kiss without politeness.

——

In the village, someone’s rooster crows.

Shen Yizhi came to his senses and withdrew from his arms.

“Go, be careful along the way.” Turn around and leave.

Because she didn’t want to be the one who stood there and watched him leave.

Gu Xueting hugged her from behind, tied his arms tightly around her waist, and kissed the wound on her neck, "Zhizhi."

"Um?"

“Wait for me.” In the end, he just said these two words.

Hearing the sound of the big bird flapping its wings behind him, Shen Yizhi instantly felt the urge to follow him.

But she held it back in the end.

Until the movement behind her completely disappeared, she turned around and looked at the night sky.
