In the end, Gu Xingzhai gave in.
The moon hangs on the tip of the tree, the stars are dotted, and the air in autumn is slightly cool, but it makes people feel very comfortable.
The man sat silently on the stone bench in the yard, peeling crabs for Lin Xiaodong.
He peeled one and Lin Xiaodong ate one.
"You really don't want to come?" Lin Xiaodong asked him with a smile, shaking a crab leg.
Gu Xingzhai only thought of himself as a mute, watching his nose, nose, and heart, no matter what Lin Xiaodong said, he didn't respond.
But as expected, he grew up in Qingxie Town, and he peeled crabs quickly and completely. Within a few minutes of the meal, the plate in front of Lin Xiaodong was full of crab meat and crab roe.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaodong didn't force him anymore, and simply changed the subject.
"Mr. Gu's premature death is indeed strange," he said, "but I can assure you that I definitely did not do it, and I don't know who the murderer is."
Hearing this, Gu Xingzhai paused when he peeled crabs.
"I heard from people below that on the day my father passed away," he said in a deep voice, "except for the food delivery person, he only saw you once."
"Yes," Lin Xiaodong admitted generously, "At that time, the housekeeper called me. I took care of him by the bedside for an hour and then went back to the room. Before he left, he was still conscious and chatting with me. "
Gu Xingzhai suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, as if it was blocked by something.He forced himself to ignore this feeling, and continued to ask: "During the time my father was sick in bed, what medicine did he take?"
"It's nothing special, it's just traditional Chinese medicines such as wolfberry and ginseng, which are all qi-invigorating. I caught him with my own hands, so there's nothing wrong with it." Lin Xiaodong said, "But the old man has always had a bad heart. According to a western doctor, I prescribed two boxes of medicine that said it was for treating the heart, and they should still be placed by the bedside.” This was also what he discovered by accident that day.
Gu Xingzhai frowned slightly: "Father has always been dismissive of foreigners' tricks, why is he so good, he suddenly invited a western doctor to come to see him at home?"
"I don't know that."
The man frowned and glanced at him, but saw Lin Xiaodong propping his chin, looking at him intently, his figure was reflected in those clear and bright phoenix eyes.
He breathed disorderly, lowered his head and peeled the crab to hide it, only to find that the plate was already clean.
"Have you finished eating?" He couldn't believe it.
"Yes, but there are still a few in the back kitchen, and I didn't let them finish cooking." Lin Xiaodong burped softly, lowered his head and stroked his belly, and sighed contentedly, "It's a good peel, I'll reward you with one." ..." He turned his head and looked around, jumped off the stone bench and ran to the pond, snapped off a lotus pod, and handed it to Gu Xingzhai, "I reward you with this."
Gu Xingzhai: "..."
Fortunately, Lin Xiaodong thought of picking lotus pods from the pond of his house and giving them to him.
But looking at the man's expression, he was not unhappy at all, he just took a deep look at Lin Xiaodong, and put the lotus pod on the stone table.
Lin Xiaodong originally thought that Gu Xingzhai would continue to ask about the details of that day, but unexpectedly, he asked himself an irrelevant question: "When did you and my father meet?"
"Three years ago, I was hunted down and injured. It was your father who took the initiative to take me in." Lin Xiaodong said frankly, and even lifted his black hair to show him the scar on the side of his neck.The original wound has long since healed, leaving only a flesh-pink scar about the length of the little finger remaining on the skin, which looks even more ferocious against the snow-white complexion.
"Who hurt you?" Gu Xingzhai asked subconsciously.
But as soon as he finished asking, he shut his mouth tightly. Lin Xiaodong is a succubus, for no reason, except demon slayers like them, who else would do such a cruel thing to a weak woman?
Sure enough, upon hearing his question, Lin Xiaodong just smiled and let his hair down.
"Young Master Gu has traveled abroad for many years. I don't know, but is there someone you like?" He changed the subject, but he got closer, and pressed his soft and cold hand on the back of Gu Xingzhai's hand.
The man's body was boiling hot, like cold snow water falling into hot oil.The moment the two touched each other, Lin Xiaodong's fingertips felt numb, and the joy in the clouds made every cell in his body sing,
He gasped on the spot.
But Gu Xingzhai withdrew his hand on the stone table like an electric shock, and suddenly got up——
"enough!"
The man closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, all the gloomy swirls in his eyes had dissipated.
"Miss Lin, I don't have a crush," he stared into Lin Xiaodong's eyes, and paused, "But I will never be with you, understand?"
After speaking, without waiting for Lin Xiaodong to reply, Gu Xingzhai strode out of the courtyard.
System: "Oh, I messed up."
"What do you know?" Lin Xiaodong, who was categorically rejected in person, picked up his chopsticks calmly, picked up a piece of cucumber, put it in his mouth, and chewed slowly, "Believe me, the man who knows men best is always the man. My move is called no break, no stand, and then there will be more ruthless ones, retreating to advance, trying to catch, guaranteeing that Gu Xingzhai will be eaten to death with one move. If you don't believe me, just wait and see."
The system really doesn't believe it.
Gu Xingzhai's ability to show a little bit of affection for Lin Xiaodong has already broken through his imagination. You must know that in the original book, although the succubus did not take the initiative to confess, no matter how he secretly flirts with the man and hints at it, Gu Xingzhai is always lying in his arms. Liu Xiahui, who is not chaotic, has even always been extremely wary of the succubus.
"By the way," it suddenly remembered something, "Have you been feeling hungry lately?"
Lin Xiaodong asked strangely: "How do you know?"
Not only did he double his appetite, but he also digested extremely quickly. Not long after dinner, he felt empty again.Does this succubus also have the attribute of a big stomach king?
"When you touched Gu Xingzhai's hand just now, you also felt it," the system affirmed, "He has more yang energy than any man, and the succubus is yin, so he will naturally be attracted to him. You will be sick before. Because I haven't inhaled Yang Qi for a long time, my body is weak, and finally the virus took advantage of it."
Lin Xiaodong let out an "ah" and asked, "Is it possible that if I don't absorb Yang Qi, I will get sick again?"
"Probably."
This is a bit of a hassle.
Lin Xiaodong, who originally planned to proceed step by step, frowned slightly. After thinking for a while, he decided to give Gu Xingzhai a strong medicine.
But before he considered specific measures, an invitation had already been sent to Gu Xingzhai.
"Prom?" Gu Xingzhai glanced at it blankly, and the date was set for next Wednesday night.
"Don't go."
He's not interested in the fads of the big cities.
"But this is an invitation from Mr. Huang. All the big and famous families in the nearby towns have come," the housekeeper persuaded, "Mr. Huang is the biggest official in our area. If you don't go, I'm afraid that in the future He will have thoughts about you. And..." He deliberately paused for a few seconds before continuing, "Master Huang also invited Miss Lin alone, young master, are you sure you don't want to go with her?"
Gu Xingzhai raised his eyes abruptly: "Why did he invite Lin Xiaodong!?"
"I heard that it was in the troupe that day that Master Huang fell in love with Miss Lin at first sight." The housekeeper lowered his voice and said with an ambiguous expression.
Gu Xingzhai tightly held the invitation in his hand.
He gritted his teeth tightly, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Fucking flowers and messing with grass!"
"There's nothing to do about it," the butler smiled with satisfaction. In his opinion, once a man is blinded by jealousy, it is easy to cause disaster. "Miss is so beautiful, it is inevitable that outsiders will miss her. Speaking of it, I am a Got an idea."
"……Say."
"You can go with Miss Lin, ask her to dance at the ball, and be a little more intimate."
Noticing Gu Xingzhai's eyes that looked like he was about to kill someone, the butler immediately raised his wristwatches: "God, sorry! Master, I came up with this idea for your own good! Think about it, it doesn't matter what those servants say, because Ms. Lin's heart is tied to the deceased master; but if people like Master Huang start to think about her, then even our Gu family can't stop the widow... Madam, let's remarry."
Gu Xingzhai slapped the table in front of him, and there was a crack on the thick yellow rosewood table.
"Shut your mouth!" he growled, his eyes flickering with anger, "My father never publicly admitted that Lin Xiaodong was his wife or concubine, nor did he mention the relationship between the two in his letters. You only said that she came to repay your kindness, and told me to take good care of her. Let me hear words like 'widow' and 'madam' again, and I will tear your mouth off!"
The butler was so frightened that he shut his mouth tightly and dared not speak again.
But when Gu Xingzhai left with a gloomy face, a smug smile gradually appeared on his face.
"He's a young and energetic boy after all," he snorted coldly, brushed off the sawdust splashed on his sleeves, and gave a stern "pooh" at the man's leaving back, "when the time comes, I will be punished if I offend Mr. Huang." I want to see how you gain a foothold in this town!"
However, the housekeeper overestimated himself and underestimated Gu Xingzhai's palace too.
Just now he showed Li Anger in front of the butler, which is a true portrayal of his heart, but more parts were deliberately acted out for the butler to see.
Although Gu Xingzhai is often ridiculed by Lin Xiaodong in private as "old-fashioned", compared to other men in this era, he is already much stronger than other men.The patriarchs of other big families, let alone serving others during meals, are restrained if they don't let a group of concubines hammer their shoulders and backs.
Of course, this is also because Gu Xingzhai has just returned from outside and is young and has not yet married.
"Xingzhai, I have been friends with your father for many years." No, not even a month after Master Gu passed away, someone came to propose marriage under the name of his father's friend, "You are also old Yes, I know, young people who are new to school now advocate late marriage, but no matter how late you are, you can’t be in your twenties without a home, right? By the way, how old are you this year?”
Gu Xingzhai used the movement of sipping tea to hide the impatience in his eyes: "Twenty to three."
"You're only 23?" The man was taken aback, and thought that Gu Xingzhai's steady and composed appearance didn't tell that he was only in his early twenties, "No, but 23 is also old, my uncle's family happens to have a girl, He is twenty-eight years old, looks fresh and beautiful, and is well-educated and reasonable, especially abiding by the rules! Let me tell you..."
In order to climb up this marriage, he changed his words without hesitation, and began to introduce the girl's situation endlessly.
"Abiding by the rules?" Gu Xingzhai put down his glass suddenly, and asked without beginning and end, "What do you mean by obeying the rules?"
"Yeah, just obedient and well-behaved," the middle-aged man got stuck. He observed that Gu Xingzhai's attire should be relatively traditional, so he emphasized the girl's virtuousness, "Her parents raised her very well since she was a child." , Knowing the orderliness of young and old, male and female defense, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and female red knitting are all proficient, she is a well-known talented woman in our town! The person who proposed the marriage almost broke the threshold. If it weren't for the fact that your father and I have known each other for many years For the sake of it, my relatives will not send me to go through this experience."
Gu Xingzhai smiled: "Uncle has troubled me, but I'm afraid I can't agree to this marriage."
"why!?"
"I like people who are a little bit out of character," he wrote lightly, "I don't like people who follow the rules."
The middle-aged man struggled for a moment, then stammered: "Well, then my aunt's family also has a daughter who is a bit older, but she went to a new style school and had her hair cut short..."
Unexpectedly, he thought tangledly, Gu Xingzhai looks like a serious person, but he still likes that kind of nonsensical girl?
Gu Xingzhai sighed.
It seems that if he doesn't stop talking today, troubles like this will be inevitable in the future.
"Uncle, let me tell you the truth," he said in a deep voice, "I like men."
Middle-aged man: "..."
Farewell!
He got up and left with a face full of anger, thinking that this is unreasonable, even if he doesn't want to get married, he doesn't need to find such a ridiculous excuse to perfuse him!
But I have to say that Gu Xingzhai's move was indeed ruthless.
After he told himself that he likes men, not only did the people who came to propose marriage disappear, even the aunts who usually smiled at him when they went to the street lost their color, and they were replaced by pointing from behind, And more and more outrageous rumors.
And when Lin Xiaodong also heard the rumor, it was several days later.
The version he heard was "Master Gu used to go to the martial arts gym to kick the gym, but he fell in love with a handsome scholar at first sight on the way. And go back to your hometown..." Seeing what it means, this rumor has a tendency to come out in the whole series, and it will not stop until Gu Xingzhai is made into the reincarnation of the tenth villain, the lone star of Tiansha.
"I didn't expect it, it turns out that Young Master Gu is also trapped by love." He leaned on the soft couch, half-closed his eyes and looked at Gu Xingzhai standing in front of him, "I don't know what kind of wind is blowing today, reminding me of my old man?"
Gu Xingzhai frowned deeply: "What are you talking about, newcomers and oldcomers?"
"Is there something wrong?" Lin Xiaodong said naturally.He pointed to Gu Xingzhai: "You are only 23, of course you are a newcomer." He pointed to himself, "After this year, I have reached the age of standing. , you should call me sister."
He smiled and looked at Gu Xingzhai with an expression of "you dare" on his face, stretched happily, and hooked his hands at the man: "Come here."
Gu Xingzhai said with a stiff face: "...what's the matter, just tell me directly."
"I went to the town to practice medicine today, and I accidentally twisted my foot." Lin Xiaodong said, fearing that Gu Xingzhai would not believe him, he deliberately lifted up a section of the cheongsam to show him, but the man just glanced at it quickly and lowered his eyes , looking at the nose and the heart, looking like a gentleman who sees no injustice.
"I'll call a doctor for you," he said.
"It doesn't need to be so troublesome." Lin Xiaodong pointed to the safflower oil on the tray next to it. "Just use this. Alas, unfortunately I dare not knead it with my hands, for fear that it will be ruined."
He changed his sitting position, propped up half of his body slightly with his elbows, and looked at Gu Xingzhai expectantly: "I remember, you seem to be a martial arts practitioner? Then you should be very good at these bruises, help me." Knead it."
Without waiting for Gu Xingzhai to refuse, he raised one leg, kicked off his shoes, and stepped on the man's black gown impartially with his white feet. This was not enough, and the toes were deliberately on the man's firm belly. I pressed it hard.
Gu Xingzhai gasped.
He grabbed Lin Xiaodong's troublesome foot, but accidentally touched the bruise on his ankle. Lin Xiaodong said "ah", his eyes were filled with water, and he picked up the pillow behind him and went to Gu Xingzhai. Hit it on the head.
"Easy!"
This time, the lethality is not much, but the energy of coquetry and blame is [-]% full.
But Gu Xingzhai seemed to be stunned. The man maintained this position for a while, and then he found a bench and sat down obediently. He put Lin Xiaodong's feet on his knees, opened the lid of the safflower oil, Apply little by little on the bruise, and slowly push it away with the palm of your hand.
"Does it hurt?" He lowered his head and asked, unable to see his expression clearly.
Lin Xiaodong was quite satisfied with his service, he groaned and said, "It's not bad, just be gentle."
So Gu Xingzhai's hand movements became a little lighter.
Seeing him like this, Lin Xiaodong was also a little curious: "Why are you so obedient today? Do whatever I say?"
"Is it useful to refuse?" Gu Xingzhai raised his head and asked back, anyway, Lin Xiaodong always has a thousand ways to force him to submit.
Lin Xiaodong snorted softly: "You are wise."
The corners of Gu Xingzhai's lips curled imperceptibly, and he lowered his head again.
Lin Xiaodong's feet look like they were born in a good life, the toes are white and round, the insteps are delicate and soft, like a high-quality mutton fat jade is held in the palm of his hand, Gu Xingzhai can completely circle the slender ankle with one hand .
He pinched the lower part of the young man's calf with his left hand, and massaged the bruised area repeatedly with the other hand. Under the dual effects of safflower oil and friction, Lin Xiaodong's originally fair skin gradually became thinner. Red, the protruding knuckles on the ankle make the beautifully lined calf more slender and slender.
Probably because he was comfortable being rubbed, Lin Xiaodong couldn't help but let out a few soft snorts from his nose, like the soft purring sound of a cat lying on its back with its full milk on its hands; The little fox saw the jerky in the hand of the kind-hearted man, narrowed his eyes and let out a begging cry.
Gu Xingzhai's breathing became rapid unconsciously.
He raised his head, only to find that the young man leaning on the soft couch had blushed at some point, but looking at Lin Xiaodong's beautiful phoenix eyes fixed on him, it was not shyness, but a kind of bright like flames. , so that he dare not touch the warm emotion.
The person in front of him was different from all the men and women Gu Xingzhai had met before.
In this era, people express their feelings implicitly and ambiguously, and even this is a minority, and most of them are the words of the matchmaker at the order of their parents, and they have been arranged for a lifetime by the so-called "rules" and "traditions".Everyone is wearing a shackle, as if separated by a layer of gray veil, it is hazy and impossible to guess.
But Lin Xiaodong is not like this.
He is direct, generous, hot and beautiful, and has a great impact. He has the courage to express his inner emotions and challenge the inherent concepts in people's hearts.
As long as he stands there, he is the most beautiful scenery in this era.
"Why don't you move?"
Lin Xiaodong asked softly, and pulled his foot out of the pensive Gu Xingzhai's hand.
Seeing that the man was still silent, he raised his eyebrows and got up, changed from lying down to sitting, with his back arched, his toes went up along Gu Xingzhai's instantly tense arms, and finally touched the button on the collar of the man's Adam's apple.
Gu Xingzhai raised his eyelids and stared at him coldly.
There seemed to be some kind of unfathomable vortex brewing in the man's dark eyes.
But Lin Xiaodong is not afraid of this.
He was propped on the soft couch with both hands, his toes were raised, his body was slightly tilted back, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and he looked like the charming Su Daji who was next to King Zhou in the past: "Master Gu, are you dumb?"
There was a tremor from the tip of his toe, and Gu Xingzhai finally spoke.
"Lin Xiaodong."
"Ok?"
Lin Xiaodong responded subconsciously, but before he could react, a strong arm wrapped around his waist, pulling him into a firm and fiery embrace.
The next second ushered in was a passionate kiss that almost drowned his whole body in it.
"You..." Lin Xiaodong's scalp was numb due to Gu Xingzhai's chaotic kissing technique with a hint of cruel punishment. The huge disparity in force value was of no help at all, so he could only hold on to the black long gown tightly, crumpling the fabric on his chest into a crumpled ball.
Gu Xingzhai's big hand tightly pinched his waist, without raising his head, he used the other hand to grab Lin Xiaodong's slender wrist dancing wildly in the air, and pressed it against the wall.It wasn't until the corners of the eyes of the person in his arms turned red and his body became weak, and his expression was no longer as easy as before, that the deep desires/thoughts he had suppressed in his heart for many days gradually dissipated.
Gu Xingzhai took a deep breath, stepped back half an inch, although his cheeks were flushed from the kiss just now, but he still stared at Lin Xiaodong with a trace of cold scrutiny.When a succubus is having sex with a human, the yang energy of an adult man will be sucked away by the other person. This is the nature of a succubus, and there is no way to avoid it.As a demon slayer, Gu Xingzhai is very sensitive to this.
He sneered, looked at his expression, but seemed to be mocking himself:
"Now, as you wish?"
Feeling the man's hot breath on his neck, Lin Xiaodong's special physique made Lin Xiaodong annoyed at Gu Xingzhai's roughness, but also had a feeling of addiction.
He calmed down for a while, and just about to say something, Gu Xingzhai suddenly reached out and straightened Lin Xiaodong's messy sideburns quickly, then got up and strode to the gate of the courtyard, blocking the housekeeper who was about to come in: "What's the matter? "
The housekeeper was taken aback by the man with a cold face, but quickly replied: "Young master, my dog was clamoring to come to the house today, and I brought him here just because I was soft-hearted, but it turned out that I have been here since lunch." I haven't seen him again, I'm afraid this kid will disturb the lady, and I'm planning to go to the yard to look for it." He squinted his eyes, glanced suspiciously at Gu Xingzhai's black gown, which was no longer as smooth as before, and asked tentatively , "Master, are you...?"
"Miss Lin came back from the outside today and sprained her ankle. When I was helping her find safflower oil on the cabinet, she lost her footing and fell off the chair." Gu Xingzhai lied without blinking.
Seeing that the butler was not reconciled and wanted to probe into the courtyard again, the man's expression sank immediately, and he took a step forward to block his sight, "Now the doctor has already visited, Miss Lin has already rested, let's go, it's just right I'll help you find your son."
"...How did this happen?" Seeing that there was no way for the butler to pass Gu Xingzhai and enter the courtyard today, the housekeeper could only say angrily.
But he snorted coldly in his heart, and thought that if Gu Xingzhai hadn't had anything to do with Lin Xiaodong, Gu Xingzhai's head would have been cut off on the spot!Thinking of Lin Xiaodong swaying and smiling in a cheongsam on weekdays, the butler's soul couldn't help stirring again—but what followed was the deep-seated jealousy and resentment towards the Gu family and his son.
Seeing that Gu Xingzhai had gone for a long time without coming back, Lin Xiaodong let out a sigh of relief, curled his lips boredly, and was about to go back to the house.
But when he looked away, he noticed a familiar invitation letter on his right hand.
The housekeeper seemed to have given him a piece of paper before, saying it was an invitation from an official, but he just glanced at it and stuffed it under the pillow without paying attention.
So, this invitation is from Gu Xingzhai?
Lin Xiaodong opened it curiously, and what he saw was a line of lowercase script written with a brush:
"You are cordially invited to attend this banquet with your dancing partner."
There was no such sentence on the invitation letter sent to him.
But to say that Gu Xingzhai left it unintentionally, Lin Xiaodong would definitely not believe it.After all, his gown had no pockets.
"It's so frivolous to press people against the wall, and you want to invite me to accompany you to the dance party after bullying?" Lin Xiaodong snorted and wiped the faint light on his lips with the back of his hand, "It's a beautiful idea .”
The system wondered, "Are you angry?"
He saw that Lin Xiaodong had enjoyed it just now, and he also collected a wave of yang energy to have a full meal by the way, killing two birds with one stone.
"Cough," Lin Xiaodong coughed dryly, and said with erratic eyes, "The main reason is that I don't know how to dance women's steps in high heels."

The moon hangs on the tip of the tree, the stars are dotted, and the air in autumn is slightly cool, but it makes people feel very comfortable.
The man sat silently on the stone bench in the yard, peeling crabs for Lin Xiaodong.
He peeled one and Lin Xiaodong ate one.
"You really don't want to come?" Lin Xiaodong asked him with a smile, shaking a crab leg.
Gu Xingzhai only thought of himself as a mute, watching his nose, nose, and heart, no matter what Lin Xiaodong said, he didn't respond.
But as expected, he grew up in Qingxie Town, and he peeled crabs quickly and completely. Within a few minutes of the meal, the plate in front of Lin Xiaodong was full of crab meat and crab roe.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaodong didn't force him anymore, and simply changed the subject.
"Mr. Gu's premature death is indeed strange," he said, "but I can assure you that I definitely did not do it, and I don't know who the murderer is."
Hearing this, Gu Xingzhai paused when he peeled crabs.
"I heard from people below that on the day my father passed away," he said in a deep voice, "except for the food delivery person, he only saw you once."
"Yes," Lin Xiaodong admitted generously, "At that time, the housekeeper called me. I took care of him by the bedside for an hour and then went back to the room. Before he left, he was still conscious and chatting with me. "
Gu Xingzhai suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, as if it was blocked by something.He forced himself to ignore this feeling, and continued to ask: "During the time my father was sick in bed, what medicine did he take?"
"It's nothing special, it's just traditional Chinese medicines such as wolfberry and ginseng, which are all qi-invigorating. I caught him with my own hands, so there's nothing wrong with it." Lin Xiaodong said, "But the old man has always had a bad heart. According to a western doctor, I prescribed two boxes of medicine that said it was for treating the heart, and they should still be placed by the bedside.” This was also what he discovered by accident that day.
Gu Xingzhai frowned slightly: "Father has always been dismissive of foreigners' tricks, why is he so good, he suddenly invited a western doctor to come to see him at home?"
"I don't know that."
The man frowned and glanced at him, but saw Lin Xiaodong propping his chin, looking at him intently, his figure was reflected in those clear and bright phoenix eyes.
He breathed disorderly, lowered his head and peeled the crab to hide it, only to find that the plate was already clean.
"Have you finished eating?" He couldn't believe it.
"Yes, but there are still a few in the back kitchen, and I didn't let them finish cooking." Lin Xiaodong burped softly, lowered his head and stroked his belly, and sighed contentedly, "It's a good peel, I'll reward you with one." ..." He turned his head and looked around, jumped off the stone bench and ran to the pond, snapped off a lotus pod, and handed it to Gu Xingzhai, "I reward you with this."
Gu Xingzhai: "..."
Fortunately, Lin Xiaodong thought of picking lotus pods from the pond of his house and giving them to him.
But looking at the man's expression, he was not unhappy at all, he just took a deep look at Lin Xiaodong, and put the lotus pod on the stone table.
Lin Xiaodong originally thought that Gu Xingzhai would continue to ask about the details of that day, but unexpectedly, he asked himself an irrelevant question: "When did you and my father meet?"
"Three years ago, I was hunted down and injured. It was your father who took the initiative to take me in." Lin Xiaodong said frankly, and even lifted his black hair to show him the scar on the side of his neck.The original wound has long since healed, leaving only a flesh-pink scar about the length of the little finger remaining on the skin, which looks even more ferocious against the snow-white complexion.
"Who hurt you?" Gu Xingzhai asked subconsciously.
But as soon as he finished asking, he shut his mouth tightly. Lin Xiaodong is a succubus, for no reason, except demon slayers like them, who else would do such a cruel thing to a weak woman?
Sure enough, upon hearing his question, Lin Xiaodong just smiled and let his hair down.
"Young Master Gu has traveled abroad for many years. I don't know, but is there someone you like?" He changed the subject, but he got closer, and pressed his soft and cold hand on the back of Gu Xingzhai's hand.
The man's body was boiling hot, like cold snow water falling into hot oil.The moment the two touched each other, Lin Xiaodong's fingertips felt numb, and the joy in the clouds made every cell in his body sing,
He gasped on the spot.
But Gu Xingzhai withdrew his hand on the stone table like an electric shock, and suddenly got up——
"enough!"
The man closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, all the gloomy swirls in his eyes had dissipated.
"Miss Lin, I don't have a crush," he stared into Lin Xiaodong's eyes, and paused, "But I will never be with you, understand?"
After speaking, without waiting for Lin Xiaodong to reply, Gu Xingzhai strode out of the courtyard.
System: "Oh, I messed up."
"What do you know?" Lin Xiaodong, who was categorically rejected in person, picked up his chopsticks calmly, picked up a piece of cucumber, put it in his mouth, and chewed slowly, "Believe me, the man who knows men best is always the man. My move is called no break, no stand, and then there will be more ruthless ones, retreating to advance, trying to catch, guaranteeing that Gu Xingzhai will be eaten to death with one move. If you don't believe me, just wait and see."
The system really doesn't believe it.
Gu Xingzhai's ability to show a little bit of affection for Lin Xiaodong has already broken through his imagination. You must know that in the original book, although the succubus did not take the initiative to confess, no matter how he secretly flirts with the man and hints at it, Gu Xingzhai is always lying in his arms.

Lin Xiaodong, who originally planned to proceed step by step, frowned slightly. After thinking for a while, he decided to give Gu Xingzhai a strong medicine.
But before he considered specific measures, an invitation had already been sent to Gu Xingzhai.
"Prom?" Gu Xingzhai glanced at it blankly, and the date was set for next Wednesday night.
"Don't go."
He's not interested in the fads of the big cities.
"But this is an invitation from Mr. Huang. All the big and famous families in the nearby towns have come," the housekeeper persuaded, "Mr. Huang is the biggest official in our area. If you don't go, I'm afraid that in the future He will have thoughts about you. And..." He deliberately paused for a few seconds before continuing, "Master Huang also invited Miss Lin alone, young master, are you sure you don't want to go with her?"
Gu Xingzhai raised his eyes abruptly: "Why did he invite Lin Xiaodong!?"
"I heard that it was in the troupe that day that Master Huang fell in love with Miss Lin at first sight." The housekeeper lowered his voice and said with an ambiguous expression.
Gu Xingzhai tightly held the invitation in his hand.
He gritted his teeth tightly, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Fucking flowers and messing with grass!"
"There's nothing to do about it," the butler smiled with satisfaction. In his opinion, once a man is blinded by jealousy, it is easy to cause disaster. "Miss is so beautiful, it is inevitable that outsiders will miss her. Speaking of it, I am a Got an idea."
"……Say."
"You can go with Miss Lin, ask her to dance at the ball, and be a little more intimate."
Noticing Gu Xingzhai's eyes that looked like he was about to kill someone, the butler immediately raised his wristwatches: "God, sorry! Master, I came up with this idea for your own good! Think about it, it doesn't matter what those servants say, because Ms. Lin's heart is tied to the deceased master; but if people like Master Huang start to think about her, then even our Gu family can't stop the widow... Madam, let's remarry."
Gu Xingzhai slapped the table in front of him, and there was a crack on the thick yellow rosewood table.
"Shut your mouth!" he growled, his eyes flickering with anger, "My father never publicly admitted that Lin Xiaodong was his wife or concubine, nor did he mention the relationship between the two in his letters. You only said that she came to repay your kindness, and told me to take good care of her. Let me hear words like 'widow' and 'madam' again, and I will tear your mouth off!"
The butler was so frightened that he shut his mouth tightly and dared not speak again.
But when Gu Xingzhai left with a gloomy face, a smug smile gradually appeared on his face.
"He's a young and energetic boy after all," he snorted coldly, brushed off the sawdust splashed on his sleeves, and gave a stern "pooh" at the man's leaving back, "when the time comes, I will be punished if I offend Mr. Huang." I want to see how you gain a foothold in this town!"
However, the housekeeper overestimated himself and underestimated Gu Xingzhai's palace too.
Just now he showed Li Anger in front of the butler, which is a true portrayal of his heart, but more parts were deliberately acted out for the butler to see.
Although Gu Xingzhai is often ridiculed by Lin Xiaodong in private as "old-fashioned", compared to other men in this era, he is already much stronger than other men.The patriarchs of other big families, let alone serving others during meals, are restrained if they don't let a group of concubines hammer their shoulders and backs.
Of course, this is also because Gu Xingzhai has just returned from outside and is young and has not yet married.
"Xingzhai, I have been friends with your father for many years." No, not even a month after Master Gu passed away, someone came to propose marriage under the name of his father's friend, "You are also old Yes, I know, young people who are new to school now advocate late marriage, but no matter how late you are, you can’t be in your twenties without a home, right? By the way, how old are you this year?”
Gu Xingzhai used the movement of sipping tea to hide the impatience in his eyes: "Twenty to three."
"You're only 23?" The man was taken aback, and thought that Gu Xingzhai's steady and composed appearance didn't tell that he was only in his early twenties, "No, but 23 is also old, my uncle's family happens to have a girl, He is twenty-eight years old, looks fresh and beautiful, and is well-educated and reasonable, especially abiding by the rules! Let me tell you..."
In order to climb up this marriage, he changed his words without hesitation, and began to introduce the girl's situation endlessly.
"Abiding by the rules?" Gu Xingzhai put down his glass suddenly, and asked without beginning and end, "What do you mean by obeying the rules?"
"Yeah, just obedient and well-behaved," the middle-aged man got stuck. He observed that Gu Xingzhai's attire should be relatively traditional, so he emphasized the girl's virtuousness, "Her parents raised her very well since she was a child." , Knowing the orderliness of young and old, male and female defense, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and female red knitting are all proficient, she is a well-known talented woman in our town! The person who proposed the marriage almost broke the threshold. If it weren't for the fact that your father and I have known each other for many years For the sake of it, my relatives will not send me to go through this experience."
Gu Xingzhai smiled: "Uncle has troubled me, but I'm afraid I can't agree to this marriage."
"why!?"
"I like people who are a little bit out of character," he wrote lightly, "I don't like people who follow the rules."
The middle-aged man struggled for a moment, then stammered: "Well, then my aunt's family also has a daughter who is a bit older, but she went to a new style school and had her hair cut short..."
Unexpectedly, he thought tangledly, Gu Xingzhai looks like a serious person, but he still likes that kind of nonsensical girl?
Gu Xingzhai sighed.
It seems that if he doesn't stop talking today, troubles like this will be inevitable in the future.
"Uncle, let me tell you the truth," he said in a deep voice, "I like men."
Middle-aged man: "..."
Farewell!
He got up and left with a face full of anger, thinking that this is unreasonable, even if he doesn't want to get married, he doesn't need to find such a ridiculous excuse to perfuse him!
But I have to say that Gu Xingzhai's move was indeed ruthless.
After he told himself that he likes men, not only did the people who came to propose marriage disappear, even the aunts who usually smiled at him when they went to the street lost their color, and they were replaced by pointing from behind, And more and more outrageous rumors.
And when Lin Xiaodong also heard the rumor, it was several days later.
The version he heard was "Master Gu used to go to the martial arts gym to kick the gym, but he fell in love with a handsome scholar at first sight on the way. And go back to your hometown..." Seeing what it means, this rumor has a tendency to come out in the whole series, and it will not stop until Gu Xingzhai is made into the reincarnation of the tenth villain, the lone star of Tiansha.
"I didn't expect it, it turns out that Young Master Gu is also trapped by love." He leaned on the soft couch, half-closed his eyes and looked at Gu Xingzhai standing in front of him, "I don't know what kind of wind is blowing today, reminding me of my old man?"
Gu Xingzhai frowned deeply: "What are you talking about, newcomers and oldcomers?"
"Is there something wrong?" Lin Xiaodong said naturally.He pointed to Gu Xingzhai: "You are only 23, of course you are a newcomer." He pointed to himself, "After this year, I have reached the age of standing. , you should call me sister."
He smiled and looked at Gu Xingzhai with an expression of "you dare" on his face, stretched happily, and hooked his hands at the man: "Come here."
Gu Xingzhai said with a stiff face: "...what's the matter, just tell me directly."
"I went to the town to practice medicine today, and I accidentally twisted my foot." Lin Xiaodong said, fearing that Gu Xingzhai would not believe him, he deliberately lifted up a section of the cheongsam to show him, but the man just glanced at it quickly and lowered his eyes , looking at the nose and the heart, looking like a gentleman who sees no injustice.
"I'll call a doctor for you," he said.
"It doesn't need to be so troublesome." Lin Xiaodong pointed to the safflower oil on the tray next to it. "Just use this. Alas, unfortunately I dare not knead it with my hands, for fear that it will be ruined."
He changed his sitting position, propped up half of his body slightly with his elbows, and looked at Gu Xingzhai expectantly: "I remember, you seem to be a martial arts practitioner? Then you should be very good at these bruises, help me." Knead it."
Without waiting for Gu Xingzhai to refuse, he raised one leg, kicked off his shoes, and stepped on the man's black gown impartially with his white feet. This was not enough, and the toes were deliberately on the man's firm belly. I pressed it hard.
Gu Xingzhai gasped.
He grabbed Lin Xiaodong's troublesome foot, but accidentally touched the bruise on his ankle. Lin Xiaodong said "ah", his eyes were filled with water, and he picked up the pillow behind him and went to Gu Xingzhai. Hit it on the head.
"Easy!"
This time, the lethality is not much, but the energy of coquetry and blame is [-]% full.
But Gu Xingzhai seemed to be stunned. The man maintained this position for a while, and then he found a bench and sat down obediently. He put Lin Xiaodong's feet on his knees, opened the lid of the safflower oil, Apply little by little on the bruise, and slowly push it away with the palm of your hand.
"Does it hurt?" He lowered his head and asked, unable to see his expression clearly.
Lin Xiaodong was quite satisfied with his service, he groaned and said, "It's not bad, just be gentle."
So Gu Xingzhai's hand movements became a little lighter.
Seeing him like this, Lin Xiaodong was also a little curious: "Why are you so obedient today? Do whatever I say?"
"Is it useful to refuse?" Gu Xingzhai raised his head and asked back, anyway, Lin Xiaodong always has a thousand ways to force him to submit.
Lin Xiaodong snorted softly: "You are wise."
The corners of Gu Xingzhai's lips curled imperceptibly, and he lowered his head again.
Lin Xiaodong's feet look like they were born in a good life, the toes are white and round, the insteps are delicate and soft, like a high-quality mutton fat jade is held in the palm of his hand, Gu Xingzhai can completely circle the slender ankle with one hand .
He pinched the lower part of the young man's calf with his left hand, and massaged the bruised area repeatedly with the other hand. Under the dual effects of safflower oil and friction, Lin Xiaodong's originally fair skin gradually became thinner. Red, the protruding knuckles on the ankle make the beautifully lined calf more slender and slender.
Probably because he was comfortable being rubbed, Lin Xiaodong couldn't help but let out a few soft snorts from his nose, like the soft purring sound of a cat lying on its back with its full milk on its hands; The little fox saw the jerky in the hand of the kind-hearted man, narrowed his eyes and let out a begging cry.
Gu Xingzhai's breathing became rapid unconsciously.
He raised his head, only to find that the young man leaning on the soft couch had blushed at some point, but looking at Lin Xiaodong's beautiful phoenix eyes fixed on him, it was not shyness, but a kind of bright like flames. , so that he dare not touch the warm emotion.
The person in front of him was different from all the men and women Gu Xingzhai had met before.
In this era, people express their feelings implicitly and ambiguously, and even this is a minority, and most of them are the words of the matchmaker at the order of their parents, and they have been arranged for a lifetime by the so-called "rules" and "traditions".Everyone is wearing a shackle, as if separated by a layer of gray veil, it is hazy and impossible to guess.
But Lin Xiaodong is not like this.
He is direct, generous, hot and beautiful, and has a great impact. He has the courage to express his inner emotions and challenge the inherent concepts in people's hearts.
As long as he stands there, he is the most beautiful scenery in this era.
"Why don't you move?"
Lin Xiaodong asked softly, and pulled his foot out of the pensive Gu Xingzhai's hand.
Seeing that the man was still silent, he raised his eyebrows and got up, changed from lying down to sitting, with his back arched, his toes went up along Gu Xingzhai's instantly tense arms, and finally touched the button on the collar of the man's Adam's apple.
Gu Xingzhai raised his eyelids and stared at him coldly.
There seemed to be some kind of unfathomable vortex brewing in the man's dark eyes.
But Lin Xiaodong is not afraid of this.
He was propped on the soft couch with both hands, his toes were raised, his body was slightly tilted back, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and he looked like the charming Su Daji who was next to King Zhou in the past: "Master Gu, are you dumb?"
There was a tremor from the tip of his toe, and Gu Xingzhai finally spoke.
"Lin Xiaodong."
"Ok?"
Lin Xiaodong responded subconsciously, but before he could react, a strong arm wrapped around his waist, pulling him into a firm and fiery embrace.
The next second ushered in was a passionate kiss that almost drowned his whole body in it.
"You..." Lin Xiaodong's scalp was numb due to Gu Xingzhai's chaotic kissing technique with a hint of cruel punishment. The huge disparity in force value was of no help at all, so he could only hold on to the black long gown tightly, crumpling the fabric on his chest into a crumpled ball.
Gu Xingzhai's big hand tightly pinched his waist, without raising his head, he used the other hand to grab Lin Xiaodong's slender wrist dancing wildly in the air, and pressed it against the wall.It wasn't until the corners of the eyes of the person in his arms turned red and his body became weak, and his expression was no longer as easy as before, that the deep desires/thoughts he had suppressed in his heart for many days gradually dissipated.
Gu Xingzhai took a deep breath, stepped back half an inch, although his cheeks were flushed from the kiss just now, but he still stared at Lin Xiaodong with a trace of cold scrutiny.When a succubus is having sex with a human, the yang energy of an adult man will be sucked away by the other person. This is the nature of a succubus, and there is no way to avoid it.As a demon slayer, Gu Xingzhai is very sensitive to this.
He sneered, looked at his expression, but seemed to be mocking himself:
"Now, as you wish?"
Feeling the man's hot breath on his neck, Lin Xiaodong's special physique made Lin Xiaodong annoyed at Gu Xingzhai's roughness, but also had a feeling of addiction.
He calmed down for a while, and just about to say something, Gu Xingzhai suddenly reached out and straightened Lin Xiaodong's messy sideburns quickly, then got up and strode to the gate of the courtyard, blocking the housekeeper who was about to come in: "What's the matter? "
The housekeeper was taken aback by the man with a cold face, but quickly replied: "Young master, my dog was clamoring to come to the house today, and I brought him here just because I was soft-hearted, but it turned out that I have been here since lunch." I haven't seen him again, I'm afraid this kid will disturb the lady, and I'm planning to go to the yard to look for it." He squinted his eyes, glanced suspiciously at Gu Xingzhai's black gown, which was no longer as smooth as before, and asked tentatively , "Master, are you...?"
"Miss Lin came back from the outside today and sprained her ankle. When I was helping her find safflower oil on the cabinet, she lost her footing and fell off the chair." Gu Xingzhai lied without blinking.
Seeing that the butler was not reconciled and wanted to probe into the courtyard again, the man's expression sank immediately, and he took a step forward to block his sight, "Now the doctor has already visited, Miss Lin has already rested, let's go, it's just right I'll help you find your son."
"...How did this happen?" Seeing that there was no way for the butler to pass Gu Xingzhai and enter the courtyard today, the housekeeper could only say angrily.
But he snorted coldly in his heart, and thought that if Gu Xingzhai hadn't had anything to do with Lin Xiaodong, Gu Xingzhai's head would have been cut off on the spot!Thinking of Lin Xiaodong swaying and smiling in a cheongsam on weekdays, the butler's soul couldn't help stirring again—but what followed was the deep-seated jealousy and resentment towards the Gu family and his son.
Seeing that Gu Xingzhai had gone for a long time without coming back, Lin Xiaodong let out a sigh of relief, curled his lips boredly, and was about to go back to the house.
But when he looked away, he noticed a familiar invitation letter on his right hand.
The housekeeper seemed to have given him a piece of paper before, saying it was an invitation from an official, but he just glanced at it and stuffed it under the pillow without paying attention.
So, this invitation is from Gu Xingzhai?
Lin Xiaodong opened it curiously, and what he saw was a line of lowercase script written with a brush:
"You are cordially invited to attend this banquet with your dancing partner."
There was no such sentence on the invitation letter sent to him.
But to say that Gu Xingzhai left it unintentionally, Lin Xiaodong would definitely not believe it.After all, his gown had no pockets.
"It's so frivolous to press people against the wall, and you want to invite me to accompany you to the dance party after bullying?" Lin Xiaodong snorted and wiped the faint light on his lips with the back of his hand, "It's a beautiful idea .”
The system wondered, "Are you angry?"
He saw that Lin Xiaodong had enjoyed it just now, and he also collected a wave of yang energy to have a full meal by the way, killing two birds with one stone.
"Cough," Lin Xiaodong coughed dryly, and said with erratic eyes, "The main reason is that I don't know how to dance women's steps in high heels."
