After a loud noise, Empress Dowager Zhuang waved her phoenix claws and ran out of the west room, shouting, "Oh my! JiaoJiao! Eunuch Qin and Little Deng are fighting! They broke the bed!"
Eunuch Qin trembled all over!
What did this have to do with him?
Also, what kind of fight could break a bed? This didn’t sound right at all!
Empress Dowager Zhuang's yelling didn’t manage to call Gu Jiao over, instead it was Little Jing Kong who had been summoned.
He had just finished his homework and heard Grandaunt say that the bed broke. At such a curious age, he went to see whose bed was broken.
"So it's my bed that was broken..."
The little guy stood with his hands on his hips in front of the collapsed bed, stunned in place for several seconds.
Then, he laughed out loud!
This was great!
His bed was broken, and he had nowhere to sleep tonight. Then, he could only squeeze with JiaoJiao!
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, I want to take a bath!"
He wanted to wash himself clean and fragrant and then lay on JiaoJiao's bed!
Fifteen minutes later, the beautiful little monk, who had come out of the bath smelling fragrant all over, put on his dry bedclothes!
"I can go to sleep with JiaoJiao now!"
He bounced and jumped to the east room.
However, before his little feet could step into the room, Empress Dowager Zhuang grabbed him and lifted him up.
"Tonight, you and Aijia will return to the palace."
Little Jing Kong's small body trembled, "Why?"
Empress Dowager Zhuang replied, "Aijia is lonely."
Little Jing Kong strongly protested, "I want to sleep with JiaoJiao!"
Empress Dowager Zhuang mercilessly refused, "No, if you go to sleep with them, there won't be any great-grandchildren. Aijia wants a great-grandchild."
Little Jing Kong was flailing his small arms and legs in the air, complaining with grievance, "Why do you need great-grandchildren? Am I not cute enough?"
Another round of questioning followed, but Empress Dowager Zhuang couldn't handle it anymore and decided to stop answering. She simply took Little Jing Kong with her and left on the carriage.
Because the bed was broken, Xiao Liulang had to sleep in the east room that night.
Gu Jiao didn't mind.
After washing up, the two of them lay on the soft bed. Little Jing Kong was used to sleeping on a hard bed in the temple, so the mattress in the west room was slightly thinner than the one in the east room.
Xiao Liulang had slept on this bed before, but tonight, the feeling was different. The mattress seemed even softer, making him think of Gu Jiao's delicate body. Her scent filled the pillow, and every breath made him feel breathless and hot in his chest.
She lay next to him, breathing evenly and deeply.
Xiao Liulang couldn't sleep. He turned his head and saw their long hair tangled together, as if they were sharing a moment of intimacy in the night.
Dreams that he had once had flashed through his mind uncontrollably. He tried to erase the inappropriate images from his mind, but the harder he tried, the clearer they became. Even her smooth breathing seemed to carry a hint of seduction in his ears.
"Husband." She suddenly turned over to look at him.
Xiao Liulang's heart skipped a beat. He felt guilty for his wandering thoughts. He tensed up and looked at the ceiling, trying to sound composed, "What's the matter?"
Gu Jiao propped herself up with her elbow and looked at him, "Nothing. I just wanted to ask if your trip to the countryside went smoothly. Did anyone bully you?" contemporary romance
"No." He replied.
Gu Jiao asked strangely, "Why is your voice hoarse? What happened?"
It was even harder for Xiao Liulang to control himself when she said that. His throat slid down a bit, and he couldn't bring himself to look at her from beginning to end, saying, "I probably talked too much during the day."
"Oh,." Gu Jiao lay on her side, and while he dared not look at her, she looked at him candidly and said, "Let me get you some water."
He was about to refuse, but she had already gotten up and poured him a cup of water.
Xiao Liulang opened his mouth and still took the cup of water.
After drinking a glass of cold water, the lingering thoughts in his mind seemed to have dissipated a bit.
Gu Jiao took the cup and placed it back on the table. She climbed back onto the bed and lay down next to him.
"Can't you sleep?" She asked.
"...No." He hoarsely replied, "You go to sleep."
But Gu Jiao waited for a while more, and yet he still didn't fall asleep.
Was there something bothering him? But she didn't want to ask too much if he refused to say anything first.
Gu Jiao thought for a moment before moving slowly towards him. She kept moving until she was right next to him.
She pulled one of his arms and turned sideways, resting her little head on it.
She hugged him and imitated the way adults comfort children, gently patting his shoulder repeatedly.
She comforted him very seriously, even though her movements were a bit clumsy.
Xiao Liulang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, "What are you doing?"
Gu Jiao opened her eyes wide and said with a serious voice, "I'm putting you to sleep. Don't worry, I won't do anything else. I'm a decent person."
At first, Gu Jiao patted his shoulder obediently to help him sleep, but the feeling of his muscles was so good that her hand started to feel a little restless, wanting to wander off.
She secretly glanced at Xiao Liulang, whose eyes were now closed and whose breathing had become even and long.
He seemed to have fallen asleep.
Gu Jiao took the courage to touch his small chest muscles, and then moved on to his abdominal muscles, and finally touched his waist muscles.
When she poked his sturdy waist with her finger, Xiao Liulang suddenly opened his eyes.
Xiao Liulang grabbed her restless little hand, flipped over and pinned her under him.
His actions were too fast and domineering, even Gu Jiao failed to react.
Gu Jiao stared at him in a daze.
He forcefully held her wrists at both sides. This was the first time Gu Jiao felt the dominance and power of a man from him while fully sober.
It felt strange and exciting.
Gu Jiao thought to herself.
The small puppy that she had been raising suddenly transformed into a fully grown wolf, exuding an irresistible aura of dominance and wildness. It stared fixedly at her and said in a rough voice, "Aren't you still young?"
Gu Jiao blinked her eyes, "Hm?"
His eyes deepened and his hoarse voice overflowed from his throat, "If you tease me again, I won't be responsible for what I do."
"Oh." Gu Jiao's eyes moved, and she slowly pulled her wrist out of his strong grasp.
He had exerted too much force just now, and had even left red marks on her wrist.
Xiao Liulang regretted it a little, but he didn't show it on his face.
He had originally been set up by his family's elders tonight, and naturally he wouldn't obediently follow their plans. So from the beginning, he had no intention of really doing anything to her.
But this girl was too mischievous.
Had she forgotten that he was already eighteen? Did she still see him as the foolish youth from before?
A 14-year-old girl who turned one year older was vastly different from a 17-year-old boy who turned one year older.
He had grown up and become a real man.
Did she know that he had countless dreams where he was no longer surrounded by raging flames, but instead by endless moonlight, sleepless lamps, and endless entanglement and possession?
He could no longer lie in the same bed with her as he did a year ago without having any wandering thoughts.
Gu Jiao rubbed her reddened wrist and remained silent for a while.
Xiao Liulang thought that he had successfully scared her and that she would now be more restrained. However, the next second, she stretched out her arms and lay sprawled flat on the bed!
Xiao Liulang: "..."
