Also, many thanks to everyone who bought me coffee (*≧?≦*)
An unfamiliar emotion filled Gu Jiao's chest and she felt a slight swelling in her heart. It was as if someone had put a sun in it, she felt that the tip of her heart was getting hot and painful.
She had never dealt with such intense and complex emotions before, and for a moment, she didn't know what it was.
“What a beautiful dress. Who are you making it for?”
"It’s for Sister Jinyu."
"Why are you making such a beautiful dress for her? JiaoJiao doesn't even have one."
The conversation between the little guy and Yao Shi from that day flashed through Gu Jiao's mind.
She had heard it, but she didn't take it seriously.
Did the little guy take it to heart?
Did he feel sorry for her for not having a wedding dress?
She…
Actually, she had never thought about whatever wedding dress...
She was already married and no longer needed a wedding dress, even though she indeed had never worn one.
In this world, no one would think she still needed a wedding dress.
Except for this little guy who didn't know anything, this little guy who wanted to bring the most beautiful things in the world to her. In order to buy her a beautiful wedding dress, he even sold his beloved Little Gold.
Gu Jiao always asked very little of others, perhaps because she had deeply experienced despair in her childhood, therefore she avoided all expectations from the beginning in order to avoid disappointment as she grew up.
This was her usual principle in dealing with things.
She found that living this way kept her mood very calm.
But Jing Kong, you will spoil me like this.
Gu Jiao looked at him fixedly and could hardly speak.
Little Jing Kong thought she was angry and lowered his head, clasping his small fingers nervously, "JiaoJiao, don't be angry. I will buy Little Gold back when I earn money in the future."
He just wanted to give JiaoJiao a surprise, so he didn't ask her for the money.
But he didn't expect to be caught by JiaoJiao for selling Little Gold.
He felt so sad.
This was even more heartbreaking than losing Little Gold.
He didn’t want JiaoJiao to dislike him.
Even the gray-clad guard didn't expect to witness such a drama while tailing the little monk. Back then, he and his young master were both puzzled, just why did this little guy need so much money? Who could have guessed that he was buying a wedding dress for this lass!
After tailing the little monk for so long, the gray-clad guard had managed to gather some information. The little monk's name was Jing Kong, and he came from a remote temple in You Province. He was adopted and left the temple over a year ago.
This lass should be the little monk's family now.
Who would have thought that the little monk was so considerate of others?
It was really strange that that person who had such a good disciple didn't raise him himself, but handed him over to someone else. Why?
Wasn't he afraid that someone would mistreat this little guy?
But looking at how the little guy was so well-dressed and clean, he must have been treated well.
The pain on the gray-clad guard's body had finally subsided a little, but the explosion from earlier had blown a bald spot on his forehead.
He stood up with one hand on the wall and touched the bald spot on his forehead with the other hand. He gritted his teeth and asked Gu Jiao, "Hey, what kind of hidden weapon did you use earlier?"
Gu Jiao turned her head and looked at him, asking calmly, "What’s it to you?"
The gray-clad guard: "..."
Did this girl just throw his words back at him?
The gray-clad guard said, "I didn't steal anything from you guys. You just beat me for no reason. Don't you feel sorry at all?"
Gu Jiao replied, "You are buying things from a child and lurking around him suspiciously. Don't you think you deserve a beating?"
It seemed to make sense… The gray-clad guard had no words to refute her.
Gu Jiao never went easy on people like them. Forget about fair trade, their motives were impure from the moment they approached Little Jing Kong.
But she didn't want to fight in front of Little Jing Kong.
Gu Jiao took the golden abacus back and said, "Why are you still here? Waiting to get beaten up?"
The gray-clad guard weighed his options and realized he couldn't beat her, so he left grudgingly.
Little Jing Kong bowed his head and grabbed the corner of his small clothes, saying, "JiaoJiao, if you don't like it, I can..."
He was met with a warm embrace.
He stared in surprise, blinking his big eyes as his eyelashes flickered, "JiaoJiao?"
"I like it." Gu Jiao hugged the little guy tightly, breathing in his warm breath and milky scent, and said, "I really like it. Thank you, Jing Kong."
Finally, Little Jing Kong's hanging little heart fell back to its place. He buried his little head into Gu Jiao's neck.
JiaoJiao liked his gift.
That was great.
Gu Jiao patted his little head and placed the golden abacus in his hands, "Don't sell it again. It's so pretty, I wouldn't be able to bear it if you sell it."
"Okay!" He nodded.
Little Gold also returned to him.
This was great.
The two of them happily returned home.
The gray-clad guard returned to the residence where they were temporarily staying. They originally stayed at an inn, but his young master thought it was too crowded and found a house to rent near Bishui Alley with the help of a guarantor.
It was located in another small alley at the end of Chang'an Street.
Apart from being a quiet place, it was also close so it was convenient to monitor the little monk.
However, he didn't seem to have a good start today.
"What's going on?" The man who once introduced himself as Young Master Ming Yue to Little Jing Kong looked at the disheveled and unkempt gray-clad guard, frowning. "How did you end up like this? And why are you bald?"
The gray-clad guard quickly covered the small bald spot on his forehead and sighed, "It's because of you, young master. You told me to keep an eye on the little monk. If it weren’t for that little brat, I wouldn't have had any trouble."
The man put down the half-blended spices and snorted coldly, "Stop being so melodramatic. It seems I've been too lenient with you in the past. As my bodyguard, you are unskilled and inferior to others in ability or technique, but you actually blame it on this young master!"
