Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 144 Ambiguity

While everyone was talking enthusiastically, Gu Qingyue quickly grabbed the fish and ran away.

Thinking about it, Gu Qingyue couldn't help but laugh. This gossip knows no bounds, even in ancient and modern times! Buying fish has become a topic of gossip.

But would she be afraid of stealing? Robbing?

Upon arriving at Songxiang Garden, before even entering the kitchen, the events that had transpired on the street were reported to Mu Yun Chu.

At first, when she heard about Miss Qin, Mu Yun Chu had a smile on her lips and didn't take such a small person seriously at all.

But as he listened, the smile froze on his lips.

A man in blue robes? He looks very noble? And quite young and handsome?

Who is that? Why is he with Gu Qingyue?

Mu Yun Chu had only one thought in his mind: a man had secretly approached Gu Qing Yue, and he had no idea who it was!

"Send someone to investigate," Mu Yun Chu raised her eyes, staring at Mu Nan with a cold gaze.

Mu Nan quickly tugged at Mu Xi's sleeve, signaling her to shut up.

Mu Xi wasn't stupid; she quickly realized her master was unhappy. She cupped her hands in greeting and hurriedly slipped out with Mu Nan.

In the kitchen, Gu Qingyue was in a good mood as she prepared the blackfish and then tidied up the medicinal herbs she had selected before starting to cook a medicinal meal.

In her past life, she was a gourmet who would almost never miss the local delicacies of every city she visited. Although she was not very good at cooking, it did not stop her from having an eye for good food and a palate that could taste delicious flavors.

Therefore, almost all of Wenxianglou's recipes were dictated by her, tested by the chefs, and finally tasted and evaluated by her.

But this time, she wanted to prepare the medicinal cuisine herself.

Gu Qingyue couldn't figure out why she had this impulse, but in the end she gave herself a reason: medicine and food are inseparable!

She's a doctor, isn't she?

After preparing the medicinal meal, she personally delivered it to the main courtyard.

Upon entering the room, they found that Mu Yun Chu was asleep, so they quietly placed the medicinal meal on the table.

"Light Moon".

Before Gu Qingyue could leave the room, she heard Mu Yun Chu's voice.

"You're awake?" Gu Qingyue walked over briskly and helped Mu Yun Chu slowly get up.

The girl's warm breath lingered in his nostrils, causing Mu Yun Chu's body to tense up for a moment before he relaxed.

As the woman pulled a cushion over his back, he suddenly remembered the man from that morning, and couldn't help but grab her hand as she was about to back away.

Once he holds on, he doesn't want to let go.

Looking down, I noticed a small blister on her index finger.

Gu Qingyue nervously withdrew her hand.

She was afraid of being seen, but in the end, Mu Yun Chu still saw her.

Well, I was careless when I was carrying the small casserole and burned my hand. My first time cooking ended in injury.

"How did this happen?" The warmth in her eyes had just vanished.

Gu Qingyue pursed her lips, wanting to smile and say it was nothing, but seeing his gaze, she couldn't bring herself to say it.

He could only grit his teeth and say, "I accidentally hurt it when I was carrying the casserole, it doesn't hurt."

After saying that, he shook his head magnanimously, indicating that he didn't take it to heart.

Looking at the girl's forced composure, Mu Yun Chu also felt a headache coming on. How could he feel at ease if she didn't care about her own safety?

“From now on, let the kitchen do these things. You just need to guide them from the sidelines,” he said, extending his hand to her.

"What?" Gu Qingyue asked, puzzled.

"Medicine kit," Mu Yun Chu said simply and directly.

"Ah? No need, no need, I can apply the medicine myself when I get back," Gu Qingyue said, feeling a little awkward. She really didn't care about this little injury and didn't need to apply any medicine at all.

"Give it to me," the man said, his tone leaving no room for argument.

"Overbearing!" Gu Qingyue cried out in her heart.

A moment later, Gu Qingyue brought over the first-aid kit.

Mu Yun Chu opened the medicine box, found the medicine, and gestured for Gu Qing Yue to sit down by the bed.

Gu Qingyue sat up straight with a sigh, like a well-behaved baby.

"Reach out your hand."

"Oh," Gu Qingyue replied obediently.

Watching the man's slender fingers apply the medicine to her hands, Gu Qingyue couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.

Does it have to be this ambiguous?

Her little heart couldn't take it!

After applying the medicine, Gu Qingyue quickly took a cloth to wipe Mu Yun Chu's hands, while the man's gaze followed her as if hooked.

"What's wrong?" Feeling the other person's attention, Gu Qingyue's heart trembled. She looked up and met the man's warm and doting eyes.

It's going to kill me!

Anyone who dares to say that Gu Qingyue is stunningly beautiful in men's clothing will have to fight her!

This one in front of me is the real gem!

His wheat-colored skin, honed from countless battles, the bulging muscles you can feel even through his clothes, his tall, muscular physique brimming with masculine hormones, and his handsome, aloof eyes—he's absolutely a dream man! My heart can't take it!

Escape is the best option!

Mu Yun Chu looked at the woman's suddenly blushing cheeks and couldn't help but smile softly.

That smile made Gu Qingyue's heart flutter again.

I can't take it anymore!

Gu Qingyue suddenly stood up, intending to leave.

Unexpectedly, her arm was grabbed, and she fell back to the edge of the bed.

"Grow up well," Mu Yun Chu said, staring at the girl's small face, her words carrying a deep meaning and her gaze filled with anticipation.

He hopes she grows up quickly; he will wait for her, as she is still too young now.

What? Growing up? This doesn't feel right!

Why does it sound like the earnest advice of an elder?

Looking into the girl's doe-like, misty eyes, as if she were caught in a dilemma again, Mu Yun Chu raised her hand to touch her hair and whispered, "Go."

Gu Qingyue: ......

Why can't you just say it directly?

Why am I inexplicably reminding myself of this?

Unable to figure it out, Gu Qingyue stopped thinking about it. As soon as Mu Yun Chu let go, she quickly got up and said she had something to do, and slipped away.

Looking at the medicinal food sitting alone on the table, still steaming, Mu Yun Chu couldn't help but smile again.

As soon as Gu Qingyue came out of the main courtyard, she quickly returned to her room, closed the door and window, and slipped into her spatial dimension.

She wants to take a bath to cool down.

Lying in the bathtub, Gu Qingyue pondered what Mu Yun Chu's words meant.

"Grow up properly"? Does that mean you're still young?

What do you mean, "still young"? Do you mean his age or...?

Gu Qingyue looked down at herself and realized she wasn't young anymore!

It has to be said that the imagination of this girl is beyond what ordinary people could ever come up with!

Ahhhh!!! Dare to say you're young?

Gu Qingyue was not convinced! Any woman would be not convinced!

Wait a minute, she had her breasts wrapped up, how did he know?

Once thoughts begin to wander, they race down a distorted path, never to return...

Mu Yun Chu was wronged.

He never expected that his words of chivalry would make Gu Qingyue ponder for half the night.

And I haven't figured it out yet.

The next day, Gu Qingyue entered the main room with huge panda eyes and began her routine pulse diagnosis.

Mu Yun Chu sat on the bed, holding a book, and was studying it carefully.

Gu Qingyue glanced at it only once; it seemed to be a book about military strategy.

Tsk tsk tsk, as expected, people who are generals are different.

Gu Qingyue lowered her head and sat down. "Take my pulse," she said, and then reached out her hand, only to have it firmly grasped by the large hand in front of her.

"Your birthday is next month?" Gu Qingyue was about to struggle when Mu Yun Chu's words came to her ears.

Gu Qingyue raised her eyebrows and nodded: "Yes, my fourteenth birthday."

It's quite a coincidence that this Gu Qingyue shares the same birthday as her own. No wonder she was able to transmigrate into the original owner's body; even their birthdays are the same. I wonder if the original owner's birthday is real or fake.

She thought for a moment and realized that her adoptive mother had mentioned her birthday when she was little, and this was the day.

So when she went to the military camp to report for duty, she filled in this birth date in her file.

Did Mu Yun Chu look at her file? She doesn't remember telling him that!

While Gu Qingyue was still wondering, she heard Mu Yun Chu's voice again.

"You're fourteen years old, congratulations," Mu Yun Chu said sparingly.
