Chapter 171 The Great Tofu Was Stolen
Mu Yun Chu pondered for a moment. Mu Nan was seriously injured, and he had sent several of the Dark Wolf Guards to investigate the situation at Nan Chong Pass.
Right now, there's really no suitable person to track them down; Sergeant Lu and his men definitely won't be able to catch up with those assassins.
Gu Qingyue noticed his hesitation at a glance and tentatively said, "Let Gu Yun go. He should be quite skilled, and he used to be a bodyguard, so he's good at tracking."
At this point, Gu Qingyue didn't continue. She had only suggested a candidate; whether or not to use him was up to Mu Yun Chu.
Gu Yun is ultimately Gu Yuanming's man.
"Alright, let Gu Yun go," Mu Yun Chu said, gesturing for the soldier to go find Gu Yun.
The group stayed in the valley for a day and a night, and only set off back to Meng County the following evening.
Because of Mu Yun Chu's injury, the guards found a carriage on the spot. Gu Qing Yue wanted to ride a horse, but Mu Yun Chu forced her to get into the carriage under the pretext of taking care of his injury.
Gu Qingyue sat opposite the man, her eyes seemingly calm and still, but a hint of a smile lingered deep within them, making it impossible for her to vent her anger.
Gu Qingyue glared at him fiercely and lowered her voice: "You wish everyone knew I was a woman?"
The man covered his lips with his hand, his smile undiminished: "How could that be? Isn't A-Yue my fiancée?"
Gu Qingyue: ...So this matter can't be let go, huh? Shameless!
Gu Qingyue gritted her teeth.
Suddenly, her small hand was covered by a slender, jade-like hand.
What are they trying to do by holding hands all the time?
Gu Qingyue turned her face away from him in annoyance.
Knowing that his ribs were broken, she didn't dare to pull her hand away forcefully and could only let him hold it.
Suddenly, the carriage lurched forward, and the man's body lurched forward, crashing into the front window of the carriage.
Seeing that he couldn't catch it in time, Gu Qingyue immediately reached out her other hand to try to pull him up, but unexpectedly, the carriage jolted again.
Gu Qingyue was dumbfounded.
Because of her injury, Mu Yun Chu couldn't control her strength well, and by sheer coincidence, her head collided with the body that was lunging at her.
In the end, Mu Yun Chu's face just happened to collide with her... chest!
Clinging tightly to her chest, Gu Qingyue was momentarily stunned and dared not move.
Her wonderful tofu was stolen! Even the tofu wrapped around it is still tofu!
After a while, the man in her arms sat up as if sprang to his feet.
His face turned almost red to his neck, and he was momentarily speechless with embarrassment.
Gu Qingyue remained stubbornly leaning against the front window of the carriage, maintaining the same posture as before.
She felt that this must be the most speechless, most embarrassing, and most mortifying moment of her life, her past life, and the life before that!
What a great moment! (Slam!)
A few breaths later, she felt like hitting him, but subconsciously she couldn't bring herself to do it.
Oh, right, he definitely didn't do it on purpose. He was seriously injured and couldn't control his body, right?
Then I thought, to hell with serious injuries! My hands are itching, do I need to think before I beat someone up?
Gu Qingyue immediately glared at him fiercely.
Mu Yun Chu couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine, as if the temperature in the carriage had become even colder.
"Hiss-----Ouch!" Seeing Gu Qingyue's expression, he immediately pressed his chest and cried out in pain.
"How are you?" Gu Qingyue's anger immediately dissipated. "Did you hurt your chest?"
Speaking of this, Gu Qingyue belatedly realized that her ears were burning red. Thinking back to what had just happened, wasn't it herself who was injured in the chest?
"Cough------" Gu Qingyue forced down her pounding heart and prepared to reach out and touch his ribs.
"It's alright," Mu Yun Chu's voice came from above her head, and the next moment, she was pulled into a warm embrace.
Gu Qingyue was stunned again.
She instinctively reached out to push him, but seeing his hand on his chest, she knew he had a rib injury and couldn't bring herself to do it.
She struggled backward, but to no avail. His hands and arms were like iron hoops around her waist, preventing her from moving at all.
"Let go of me! You're injured!" Gu Qingyue said angrily, lowering her voice. "There's a coachman outside!"
"I'm sorry," Mu Yun Chu's gentle voice came from above.
Gu Qingyue's body stiffened.
"I want to hug you like this," came Mu Yun Chu's gentle voice, which was serious and persistent, as well as an irresistible tenderness and care.
Gu Qingyue: I'm going to go numb! She wanted to say that she couldn't take it all at once!
Gu Qingyue stopped struggling and quietly leaned against him, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat, and the faint warmth, the scent of medicine, and the fragrance of cold bamboo lingering in her nose and heart.
Her heart skipped a beat.
Gu Qingyue felt that she must have been bewitched.
She had never known what it felt like to be in love in her past and present lives, but now she had a slight understanding.
When it comes to relationships, she's a complete novice.
No matter how many movies, TV shows, novels, or other people's stories you watch, you can't transform them into personal experiences.
She didn't know what her imagined life with lots of sweethearts would be like, but intuitively, she liked the warm embrace in front of her and the feeling of being cared for that she had never experienced before.
"Ah Yue," a clear male voice came from above. Gu Qingyue looked up and met the man's concerned gaze.
She looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"What were you thinking about just now?" Mu Yun Chu asked.
"I won't tell you," Gu Qingyue blurted out.
She was subconsciously afraid to reveal her feelings now. She was suddenly a little afraid of this unfamiliar feeling of being liked by someone. She was afraid that she would be at a loss if she exposed her feelings to others.
In her past life, she was most used to hiding herself. She appeared outwardly warm and unrestrained, but deep down she wore a mask that kept strangers at bay, which made her feel safe.
At this moment, a feeling of liking welled up in her heart, but it was tinged with fear and confusion, and she felt a little uneasy.
"Hehe------Alright, my wound hurts, take a look," Mu Yun Chu stared at the woman in front of her for a while, then sighed softly and instantly regained her aloofness.
Gu Qingyue looked at the person in front of her with confusion as their expression suddenly changed, and she hadn't even reacted yet.
Has it changed again? Now it's doctors and patients?
"Let go of me, or how will I see?" Gu Qingyue instantly calmed her slightly pounding heart and gestured for him to let go with her eyes.
"I won't let go, I'll just look at it like this," Mu Yun Chu said calmly, with a hint of grievance in her voice.
"You! If you don't look, whoever looks is a puppy," Gu Qingyue said, even more confused by his cold expression. She then adopted a haughty attitude.
"Hehehe------", the man couldn't help but laugh. This little thing actually had this side to it?
He expressed his satisfaction and hoped that she would gradually let down her guard, get used to him, and accept him. However, he said there was no rush and he would accompany her as she grew up.
Along the way, the two spent their time in moments of warmth, childishness, and mutual wariness and testing. Upon returning to Wenxi Villa, Mu Yun Chu was taken to the study in the front yard by Gu Yuan Ming.
Gu Qingyue finally reverted to her persona as the young prodigy doctor.
Carrying a medicine kit, he shuttled between the temporary encampments of the army outside the city, treating the wounded who were brought back from time to time.
It is said that several counties and towns near Nanchong Pass were ruthlessly slaughtered by the Nanzhao army, which made Gu Qingyue's heart grow heavier.
