After the powerful minister was reborn, he married the delicate girl back home

'Ah Qiu...'

Although it was almost April, the night was still a little chilly. In addition, Li Rongjiao was wearing single clothes, so she immediately started to sneeze when she caught the cold.

It was this sneeze that brought Gu Xingmo back to his senses. He looked at the girl who was about to shrink into a ball, slowly took off his shirt, and walked towards her step by step.

Li Rongjiao actually woke up from the cold a long time ago, but she didn't dare to open her eyes because it was too dark around her. She was so scared that she didn't even dare to stand up and close the door.

In the past, when she was alone at home, Li Rongjiao would tie the door with a rope early in the morning, and then quickly hide in her quilt to sleep. She would huddle up in the quilt, even her head, even if it was too hot in the summer. She was sweating, and she didn't dare to get up alone.

She had heard some strange stories about jackals eating people's hearts, and there were no adults at home, which made her really scared.

When faced with something she was afraid of, Li Rongjiao did not dare to open her eyes no matter what, as if this was the only way to save herself. If she could not see, she would not be afraid anymore.

But this time, when she heard the footsteps getting closer and closer to her, Li Rongjiao became even more frightened. Even her body couldn't help trembling. Her head was buried deeply between her knees. There was a bit of fishy sweetness on her lower lip, maybe it wasn't... It's already bleeding.

Her shaking made Gu Xingmo think she was too cold, so he quickly covered the little girl with his coat.

I felt that I was covered by something. It was big, soft, and a little silky. I smelled it carefully, and there was a faint smell of pine ink. It was very familiar, just like the second brother Gu. the taste of.

Is it Brother Gu? Li Jiaorong suddenly felt calm. She mustered up the courage to open her eyes, moved the clothes that blocked her sight, and then looked up carefully.

It’s Brother Gu!

Li Jiaorong was so happy that she exclaimed: "Brother Gu, is it really you! I'm afraid I'm not dreaming, am I?"

The girl raised her eyes, as well-behaved as a little animal. Her innocent eyes were full of dependence and trust, which made Gu Xingmo's heart warm. How wonderful! She is so good like this now, without despair or decadence, this is the real her...

Gu Xingmo lowered his eyes and looked at Li Rongjiao closely, unwilling to look away for a long time.

Li Rongjiao felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, so she moved her position slightly, but saw Gu Xingmo still staring at her, which made her even more uneasy, so she whispered: "Second Brother Gu."

Gu Xingmo smiled and replied: "Yes, I am here."

Then, neither of them spoke anymore. Li Rongjiao lowered her head and played with her fingernails nervously.

Without being able to see her face, Gu Xingmo stared at the top of the little girl's hair. The long, black and beautiful hair felt very soft and silky like fine satin. He had touched it before.

As he watched, Gu Xingmo suddenly remembered a dream he once had. Li Jiaorong was lying in his arms, showing off the newly made rose-colored cardamom. He smiled and praised the beauty, and then twisted a strand of the little girl's hair. Hair, put it to the tip of your nose and smell it...

It was a very beautiful dream, so good that he never wanted to wake up for the rest of his life, but it finally came to an end. When he woke up, he touched his face and found that it was full of tears.

Gu Xingmo was stunned again. Li Rongjiao did not dare to disturb him and could only continue to play with her nails.

The hands were slender and small, with not obvious joints, and white and pink fingernails. Maybe they would look better if painted chestnut red, Gu Xingmo thought to himself.

Li Rongjiao didn't know what Gu Xingmo was thinking about. She only knew that scholars should not speak easily when they are thinking about things. Aunt Gu told her that it would disturb others' thinking about serious matters.

The two of them were getting along like this, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious, until the sound of 'Gulu, Gulu' suddenly sounded, breaking the existing silence.

Li Rongjiao looked down at her belly, her face flushed with embarrassment, her toes lightly hooked on the ground, wishing she could find a mouse hole to crawl in. It was so embarrassing, how could she make such a fool of herself in front of Brother Gu?

She didn't eat at night, and her stomach would usually make noises when she was hungry, but she passed it by enduring it. After all, she wasn't hungry anymore when she fell asleep. But now that Brother Gu is here, how could her stomach make noises?

Li Jiaorong was extremely upset. She covered her stomach with both hands and raised her head. Her face was red with shame and her pink lips were slightly opened. She wanted to say something, but in the end she couldn't. She turned to stare at Gu Xingmo's face. The toe of the shoe was stunned.

Gu Xingmo smiled and joked: "Are you hungry?"

Li Rongjiao nodded slightly, but then she realized something was wrong, so she shook her head and replied softly: "I'm not hungry, not hungry."

Gu Xingmo knew that she was hungry, so he walked to the stone table, picked up the bag of pastries and candies, leaned down, handed it to Li Rongjiao, and said, "Eat your cushion first, and come to my house for breakfast tomorrow." ,OK?"

Different from the indifference when talking to Lu Qianzhu, Gu Xingmo was full of tenderness at this moment, and the words "tenderness is like water" would not be an exaggeration.

Li Rongjiao nodded and thanked her again, then took the cake with both hands, held it in her hands, and slowly opened it.

The pastry was already cold, and the sweetness was not as strong as when it was freshly baked, and the texture was not as soft as the fresh one, but Li Rongjiao was extremely satisfied at the moment.

She carefully picked up a piece of pastry, raised her hand, and seemed to want to hand it to Gu Xingmo, with a smile on her face. But what she didn't expect was that Gu Xingmo didn't take it, but slowly leaned down and held it with his hand. He bit the piece of pastry with his mouth.

The moonlight was bright, and the girl held up a piece of cake in her hand, her delicate almond eyes full of shock, while the young man leaned over and bit it as if he was playing a prank, with some pampering and pride in his eyes.

After Li Rongjiao reacted, she quickly retracted her hand. She seemed to have touched Brother Gu's teeth just now. No, no, she didn't touch them. It must be an illusion. But Brother Gu is really good-looking. He looks even better up close. Why? What's going on, why did her heart suddenly beat so hard?

Gu Xingmo didn't care about the impact this move had on the little girl, but carefully finished the piece of cake, and then said solemnly: "It's sweet."

It's not the sweetness of the cakes, it's hers...

Gu Xingmo didn't dare to say the last sentence because the little girl was still young this year and he was afraid of scaring others.

Li Rongjiao nodded frantically, trying to calm down her restless heart, and then thought: Maybe Brother Gu just doesn't want to get his hands dirty? That must be it.

Thinking of this, Li Rongjiao didn't feel so uncomfortable anymore. She carefully picked up a piece of pastry, stretched out her tongue and licked it for a while. It felt very sweet, so delicious that it could fly to the sky, and then she started to eat it in small bites.

The way she eats pastries is very cute, taking only a small bite at a time, as if she wants to taste more.

Gu Xingmo didn't say anything, he just sat down next to her, then looked up at the moonlight in the sky, and suddenly murmured: "Rong Niang, can't you grow up faster?"

Li Rongjiao swallowed the cake in her mouth and retorted seriously: "I am already thirteen years old this year, so I am not too young."

After that, continue eating pastries.

Gu Xingmo looked at her who was concentrating on eating cakes and echoed: "Yes, yes, Thirteen, we are really not far from growing up."

Obviously, Li Rongjiao was not satisfied with Gu Xingmo's words and continued to repeat: "Brother Gu, you have grown up. I am already an adult."

"Well, you are an adult."

But adults never repeat that they are adults, and adults never want to become adults. Only children do. They have never experienced anything and they only dream of growing up. His Rong Niang is still a child now! Gu Xingmo thought to himself.
