I want to make progress

Chapter 9 The night is beautiful
Seeing them getting closer, Gu Changting frowned slightly, but Shu Yunfu turned around and walked towards Gu Changheng.

"Second Master, this is the fish soup I cooked myself. The conditions are simple, so please make do with it."

"Don't do these unnecessary things. No matter what you do, I won't even look at you. Just behave yourself!"

She blinked her eyes and met Gu Changheng's disdainful expression, but took the fish soup as if it was a matter of course. The corners of her mouth could not help but twitch. What a shameless person!
Did he forget that he was forced to become his concubine? Forced! Forced! Forced!
How narcissistic must he be to think that she would please him and like him!

"Second Master, you misunderstood." She suppressed the urge to beat up the bastard, raised the corners of her lips, and smiled falsely, "I know that Second Master has someone in his heart and will not have any extravagant expectations. I just did what I should do. After all, I am yours now."

Since she is Gu Changheng's concubine now, she has to conform to the character. Gu Changheng needs her to be a decoration, and she also needs Gu Changheng to be a decoration to cover up the things between her and Gu Changting.

I thought this was something that was tacitly understood, but I didn't expect that Gu Changheng was actually an ordinary man. If I had known this, I shouldn't have brought the fish soup just to tease Gu Changting!
Without saying anything more, he served the soup and left. Grinning with regret, he turned around and brought another bowl of soup to Gu Changting to wash his eyes.

"Duke, drink the soup!"

With her back to the crowd, Shu Yunfu looked at him with sparkling eyes, smiling, and scratched his palm when he took the bowl.

Her hand trembled and the fish soup was almost spilled. Gu Changting quickly took two steps back and looked at her with disapproval, this audacious woman!
"Be careful, don't spill it, there's a surprise inside!"

Shu Yunfu smiled even more happily, her face covered with a veil, revealing a pair of big watery eyes that blinked at him, then she turned and left.

Ah! As expected, handsome guys are still pleasing to the eyes. I feel much better now!

Qixian, who was standing aside, was biting on the dry food, wishing he didn't have ears. It was so disgusting!

But this soup looks delicious, and it must go well with dry food. The Duke is always generous, "Sir, this soup..."

Gu Changting didn't even look at him. He lowered his eyes and opened his mouth silently. Just as he took a sip, Gu Changheng next to him started yelling.

"Pfft! Why is this soup so salty? Kill the salt seller!"

He spat out the soup in his mouth. The taste was so salty that he gulped down some water. He got angry and threw the bowl in his hand, scolding Shu Yunfu without giving her any face. "If you can't do it in the future, do less!"

"Ah? Is it salty? Maybe I put too much in it. Next time I will..."

"Next time! There won't be a next time! You're a piece of trash!"

"Oh!"

……

Hearing the noisy noise, Qixian sat back down instantly and pretended that he had not said anything.

Well! If you are on the road, dry food and boiled water are good.

but……

"Master? Why don't you just stop drinking this soup..."

The second master was so salty that he vomited. How is the Duke's tongue? Even if it was made by Miss Shu herself, it would not have to be this good!

"Are you free?"

Crushing the bird egg in his mouth, Gu Changting glanced at him and continued to drink in small sips, enjoying the drink with dry food. He also warned his angry cousin, "Second brother!"

Looking at the Second Master who swallowed his anger and Miss Shu who escaped the disaster, and then looking at the Duke who drank the fish soup slowly, Qixian felt really annoyed.

Returning to the pot, Shu Yunfu winked at Yuyan, picked up the fish soup and started eating the noodles. Each bite tasted so sweet.

Humph! You've offended me and you still want to drink my soup? You're dreaming! Not everyone is qualified to drink the soup she made!

After a tiring day, both men and horses were exhausted, and Shu Yunfu no longer had the energy to make a fuss. After dinner, she lay down peacefully on the soft bedding to rest.

Countless insects were chirping in her ears, playing a nocturne. The shining stars in the sky were reflected in her eyes. The fragrance of grass was all around her. But Shu Yunfu felt extremely tired with her eyes wide open, and she couldn't fall asleep at all.

I kept my eyes open for a long time, and seeing that the swifts next to me had fallen asleep, I simply stood up and planned to enjoy the night breeze.

I strolled to the stream, watched the fireflies flying in the grass from time to time, laughed at this rare beauty, and at the same time felt that I haven't been so leisurely for a long time.

Before, when she was in the Shu family, she had several big Buddhas pressing down on her head. She just wanted to be careful with her words and actions. She had to think again and again before walking, sitting, lying down or saying anything. Later, she even thought about how to get married and how to survive.

Now that the dust has settled, the rest of my life is basically decided, and I am in the rare mood to look at this beautiful night scene.

only……

Half squatting, he tapped the fireflies on the grass with his fingers. Having just handled a big case, Gu Changting was not in a hurry to return to Beijing to report, but he still let the team travel so leisurely. Isn't it a bit too abnormal...

"It's so late, why don't you go to rest? What are you doing here?"

Just as she was lost in thought, she suddenly heard a voice behind her, which scared her so much that she almost fell.

"careful!"

He quickly grabbed the person and felt a little annoyed and angry.

"It's you..." Looking up at him, Shu Yunfu smiled, "The night is so beautiful, I don't want to let it down."

"It's so late, Duke, why don't you go to rest? Are you..." He leaned closer and teased her out of habit, "Are you worried about me?"

"I just don't want anything to happen."

He let go of her hand, not looking at her, his eyes looking at the stream sparkling in the moonlight, "It's not safe in the wilderness."

"Hmm?" Shu Yunfu was stunned when she nodded halfway. She looked up at him in surprise, somewhat pleasantly surprised, "You admit it!"

What a surprise! This man has always been in a rejection attitude, and this is the first time he admits that he cares about me!

"Go back, it's late."

Gu Changting did not respond directly, but turned around to leave. However, Shu Yunfu, who was still in an excited state, was not willing to let him go so easily. Such a beautiful moonlight must not be wasted.

Smiling, she grabbed the man's front, stood on tiptoes and kissed his thin lips. This time, he took the initiative first, hehe...

However, an even bigger surprise was yet to come. She thought this pretentious man was going to push her away again, but unexpectedly he put his arms around her waist and deepened the kiss.

Shu Yunfu didn't know. She was squatting in the grass with her long hair flying, teasing fireflies. She was shrouded in silver moonlight, like an elf who had fallen into the human world. She was so beautiful that it was breathtaking.

It seems that more than one person thinks the night view is beautiful tonight.

……

The carriage swayed slowly on the official road. After more than ten days' journey, Shu Yunfu was like a wilted flower. She no longer had the energy to do anything. Just living every day had already exhausted all her energy.
