Let's walk together for the rest of our lives. If the host says to leave, she will leave.

As they got closer to the capital, there were more towns nearby. Gu Ling did not rush into the capital, but took Shen Li by another route and prepared to rest in a small town near the capital.

"Why don't you go to Beijing directly?" Shen Li asked.

"There are so many high-ranking officials in the capital, and a tile falling from the roof could hit a minister. With so many high-ranking officials, there is less risk of death. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, we need to dress less shabby."

Shen Li suddenly realized: "I understand, I just have to pretend to be awesome!"

Gu Ling: "...You can understand it that way."

Shen Li pulled Gu Ling forward, a little anxiously: "Then let's go to the town and buy some nice clothes, and then we can go to Beijing."

Shen Li heard that the capital city was the most prosperous place in the world, where countless treasures were gathered, the clothes were the newest and most beautiful, and the talents were also the best.

Gu Ling pulled Shen Li and said, "You need to change back into men's clothes before that."

Shen Li was depressed: "Why?"

She came to the capital specifically to find her husband. Wouldn't it be more difficult to change back into men's clothes?

Gu Ling narrowed her eyes slightly. The little fox had not given up the idea of ​​finding a husband. So she went ahead and found one. She was so old and there was a man right in front of her. Why didn’t Shen Li think of it?

Gu Ling pointed at himself and said, "I am a man." Then he pointed at Shen Li and said, "You are wearing women's clothes now."

"So we can't share a room."

Should I choose to live in the same room with Gu Ling, or continue to dress up as a woman and look for a husband?

Fortunately, Gu Ling's position in Shen Li's heart is much higher than that of her "husband" who is nowhere to be found.

Shen Li used magic and in the blink of an eye she changed into men's clothing.

Compared to women's clothing, Shen Li's men's clothing is more casual, and his overly bright face shows a bit of romance. He looks... restless, as if he could run away with someone else if you're not careful.

Fortunately, there are many noble ladies in the capital who are well-educated and well-mannered, so they would not blatantly pester Shen Li. It would be difficult to deal with Shen Li if she dressed as a woman.

The two walked into an inn, and the innkeeper smiled and asked, "Gentlemen, would you like to have dinner or stay overnight?"

Before Gu Ling could say anything, Shen Li said, "Stay in the hotel! One of the upper rooms."

This was not the first time he stayed in an inn, so Gu Ling let Shen Li negotiate and he would just pay the money when the time came.

The two of them took a short break. Shen Li was eager to buy some nice clothes, and soon she dragged Gu Ling shopping.

This time, when Shen Li entered the shop, she did not rush to pick out clothes for herself. Instead, she looked Gu Ling up and down, walked around the shop, and selected a bunch of clothes for Gu Ling to try on.

Gu Ling changed out of his rough gray cloth clothes and put on clothes made of silk and satin. When he came out, the store seemed to become quiet in an instant.

Above the white silk are pieces of black bamboo, standing straight and upright. The fallen bamboo leaves dance as people walk, like a dynamic painting.

Her eyebrows are like distant mountains and her thin lips are slightly raised. All the beauty in the world seems to be reflected in her.

A gentleman with words, warm as jade.

Probably so.

A pair of black eyes reflected the figure, with a hint of smile in them. A clear voice like a mountain spring rang out in the quiet shop: "Does it look good?"

The people in the store nodded blankly, until Gu Ling walked up to Shen Li and said something again, then they realized that Gu Ling was not asking them.

"Are you stupid?" His tone was teasing, his eyebrows slightly raised, and his gentle temperament disappeared, with a bit of frivolous charm.

However, the handsome young man in red had a pure look on his face, and his charming peach blossom eyes were filled with unconscious joy.

"It looks good." He repeated, "Brother Gu, it looks good."

The smile on Gu Ling's face widened a little, and the people around him widened their eyes again.

"Are there any clothes you like?" Gu Ling asked.

Shen Li shifted his gaze away from Gu Ling and was about to look at the clothes, but he saw that the people around him were staring at Gu Ling, and some girls even blushed when they saw him looking at them.

As for who they blushed for? It didn't matter. Shen Li was sure that they blushed for Gu Ling.

Shen Li was too familiar with this look of lust. A vixen who was focused on seducing people certainly had to have some acting skills, and the most performed of them was the lustful scene.

He frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Seeing that he didn't move, Gu Ling said, "Don't be polite, just take whichever one you like, or I can help you choose?"

As he spoke, Gu Ling looked around, his eyes fell on a certain place, and he walked over.

"Girl, could you please move aside?"

The girl blushed and took two steps to the side. Shen Li felt inexplicably angry when watching this scene.

Why are you speaking so gently?

Gu Ling touched the material of the dress and thought the style was good, so he turned around and smiled at Shen Li: "How about this one?"

Why are you smiling so beautifully?

Shen Li was angry. He walked up to Gu Ling, took his hand and was about to leave, but Gu Ling did not move.

He got angry and asked, "Are you going to leave or not?"

She said to herself: It turns out that the little fox can still be jealous, that’s good.

Gu Ling raised his hand and touched his head, smiling uncontrollably: "You haven't paid the bill yet."

Shen Li held his breath and waited for Gu Ling to pay the bill. As soon as he paid, he pulled Gu Ling away.

His steps were hurried. He had no thoughts at that moment and just wanted to get back to the inn and hide Brother Gu.

"boom!"

The door was suddenly closed, and Shen Li turned around and threw herself into Gu Ling's arms, hugging him tightly.

He buried his face in Gu Ling's arms, and spoke in a muffled voice: "Brother Gu, I feel uncomfortable."

Gu Ling frowned: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No." He looked up at Gu Ling's face, which was no less beautiful than that of a fox girl, and said, "You are so beautiful."

Shen Li herself has a good appearance and is usually resistant to Gu Ling's face, so she doesn't think there's anything wrong with it.

Gu Ling usually dressed casually. Although he had a superior appearance, others only glanced at him for a few more times and did not pay much attention to such a poor scholar who only had good looks.

However, after putting on silk and satin, Gu Ling's appearance and demeanor were excellent, and he looked like a nobleman, which naturally increased his appeal to those people.

What's more, this is near the capital, at the feet of the emperor. Who knows if Gu Ling is the son of a minister in the capital?

Shen Li didn't know about all these twists and turns. He just thought that Gu Lingsheng was good-looking, and this good-lookingness became even more obvious after he changed his clothes.

Gu Ling moved close to Shen Li's face, his breath sprayed as he spoke, and Shen Li's face felt a little hot.

"Do you not like it?"

what do you like?

Is this face or this person?

Shen Li was a little stunned, then said: "I like it."

Gu Ling was a little surprised. He didn't expect Shen Li to say that she liked him so easily. Then he heard Shen Li say, "You are so nice to me, of course I like you."

"Whoever treats you well, you like him?"

It seems... not really.

Shen Li frowned, and his eyebrows were almost knotted.

Gu Ling sighed: "Shen Li, Shen Li."

"What did you tell me to do?"

Gu Ling lowered his eyes and smiled: "Nothing, let's go eat."

It's hard to imagine that this vixen is so good at seducing people, but she doesn't even know what it means to be moved.

Little fox, it’s a bit difficult to raise.

Buying clothes was not completely fruitless. At least Shen Li had a sense of crisis and was no longer obsessed with looking for her husband. She kept a close eye on Gu Ling all day long, not leaving his side for a moment.

Whenever Gu Ling smiled at others or looked at them for a second, he would pull at the corner of Gu Ling's clothes to attract their attention.

He didn't make a fuss, but every time he returned to the room, he would ask Gu Ling to hug him. He looked quiet, but his eyes and eyebrows silently told of his grievance and sadness.

As time went by, Gu Ling no longer showed that warm smile to strangers. He simply returned to his original self, ignoring everyone and acting like "whatever you want, I'm fine with it."

Only when facing Shen Li did he remain the same.

Shen Li finally breathed a sigh of relief and a smile returned to her face. Now, she was thinking about buying new clothes again.

The two entered the capital, and Gu Ling purchased a courtyard with his financial resources and connections and settled down there.

As the exam approached, Gu Ling went out less frequently and studied in his room.

Shen Li would go out from time to time. At first, she went to buy clothes, but later, perhaps because she got tired of it, she stayed in the yard and no longer went out frequently.

He occasionally basks in the sun in the yard, and has developed a new hobby: planting flowers in the yard.

His favorite tree was a peach tree in the yard, and he would always climb up the tree to take a rest.

Gu Ling also thought that he liked it, but he didn't know that it was because the location of the tree was right facing Gu Ling's study.

When Gu Ling was studying in the study, Shen Li sat on the tree and watched her.
