Chapter 108 Self-Strategy
For a moment, Xiao Wu didn't know what to say, and he and Wei Dongning stared at each other wide-eyed.
In the end, Wei Dongning couldn't help but burst out laughing.
When Gu Peiyan returned home, she did not see Wei Dongning in the main house.
Puzzled, he called Xiao Fu over: "Where is your young lady?"
Xiao Fu pointed towards the study where a faint light was shining: "Miss is still in the study."
Gu Peiyan nodded knowingly and walked towards the study.
She must have been so tired after coloring the painting in the study that she simply rested there.
Gu Peiyan thought she would see Wei Dongning taking a nap in the study, but she didn't expect to see her having a great time playing with Xiao Wu.
"Why didn't you light more candles? It's too dark and bad for your eyes." Gu Peiyan sat down next to Wei Dongning and touched her slightly cold hand: "Why is it so cold?"
Wei Dongning placed her hand in Gu Peiyan's large hand, feeling the warmth emanating from his palm.
It is indeed higher than mine.
"I guess it's because the study is a bit cold," Wei Dongning said, not really bothered by it.
My fingertips are a little cold, but otherwise there's nothing wrong with them.
But now that I have a human heater by my side, I might as well use it.
Gu Peiyan closed his palm, completely enveloping her hand in his.
Xiao Wu circled around them twice, then jumped into Gu Peiyan's arms and placed its little paws on their clasped hands.
Yes, a family should always be together.
Once the soft hand in her palm had warmed up, Gu Peiyan released her grip: "Shall we go back to our room?"
"it is good"
With Gu Peiyan's help, Wei Dongning stood up and hugged Xiao Wu into her arms.
I can use Xiao Wu's fur to keep myself warm.
Gu Peiyan straightened up and glanced at the table casually.
When he saw that the painting was exactly the same as when he left, it was impossible not to feel disappointed.
But the thought that she might be waiting for him to color together brought back his cheerful mood.
He extinguished the flickering candlelight in the study and stepped into the night with Wei Dongning.
Wei Dongning looked up at the moon in the sky, which was missing a corner, stretched out her arms, and opened her palms to block the moon.
"You suddenly let go of one of my hands and almost made me fall." Xiao Wu was jolted and immediately grabbed her arm tightly with all four limbs: "Are you trying to block out the moon?"
"I don't know either. You might not believe it, but I feel like some mysterious force is driving me to do this."
Xiao Wu looked up at the moon, pondered for a moment, then raised its front paw and patted Wei Dongning: "I know! It's just like those boys who are walking along and suddenly do a dunking move."
After Xiao Wu finished speaking, he nodded emphatically: "That must be it."
The serious tone made Wei Dongning laugh so hard she almost shook.
Gu Peiyan turned her head slightly to look at Wei Dongning, who had suddenly burst out laughing, her brows furrowed with confusion: "What are you laughing at?"
Wei Dongning's brain raced, and she pointed four fingers at the moon: "Look, doesn't it look like a pancake with a bite taken out of it?"
Wei Dongning was just casually trying to fool Gu Peiyan, but she didn't expect him to take it to heart.
When Wei Dongning saw the sesame seed cakes placed in front of her for breakfast the next day, she was slightly surprised: "Don't we usually have porridge for breakfast?"
"Yesterday you said the moon looked just like a sesame seed cake, so you must want to eat one. I had Qianrong tell Aunt Zhou."
Gu Peiyan remained calm and composed.
It was like doing something very ordinary.
Wei Dong's heart skipped a beat.
She is really easily moved by these little details.
He lowered his head and took a bite of the sesame seed cake: "Thank you."
"Not like."
Gu Peiyan suddenly said this, and Wei Dongning didn't react for a moment: "What did you say?"
"Didn't you say the moon looked like a sesame seed cake with a bite taken out of it?" Gu Peiyan's gaze focused on the sesame seed cake that Wei Dongning had just finished eating. "I don't think so."
Wei Dongning took another bite of the pancake, secretly muttering to herself, "Of course it doesn't look like it."
She was just making up an excuse to make her laugh sound more believable.
After breakfast, Wei Dongning saw him off at the door, dressed in his official robes.
The question that had been nagging at me all morning was finally asked: "You were on leave yesterday but were pulled back at the last minute. Aren't you going to make up for it today?"
Gu Peiyan shook her head and replied, "No."
"Okay." Wei Dongning pouted and commented softly, "Working people have it so tough."
She thought that the vacation system in ancient times was different from that in modern times.
It turns out that cattle and horses are not limited by era.
As long as the leader gives the order, everyone must be on duty and do their utmost.
Moreover, when she asked Gu Peiyan last night why she was temporarily taken back, the answer she received left her both amused and exasperated.
It turned out that a colleague had eaten something bad that morning, and the stomach pain was so unbearable that he had to ask for leave and go home.
Unfortunately, he was busy with official duties yesterday, and the Censorate was short-staffed after he left.
Lord Zhong then took Gu Peiyan back.
After seeing Gu Peiyan off, Wei Dongning wandered around the room a couple of times.
I was wondering if I should do something to pass the time.
The TV series that aired yesterday announced a one-day hiatus, ruthlessly robbing her of her happiness.
This directly interrupted her plans.
When they reached the third lap, Xiao Fu, who was embroidering a sachet, couldn't resist anymore.
He stopped what he was doing, looked up at her, and sincerely suggested, "Miss, why don't we go for a walk in the street? The wedding gift for the Second Prince and Miss Zhong hasn't been prepared yet, has it?"
Wei Dongning slapped her forehead: "That's right!"
That day, when she and Su Yizhuo were adding items to the betrothal gift list, they were already planning to prepare gifts.
Thinking about what new and interesting things you might see that you could buy as gifts to give away?
Unfortunately, she's a bit forgetful sometimes, and by the end of the shopping trip, she had completely forgotten about it.
All she wanted was to finish this quickly so she could go home and lie down.
Now, thanks to Xiao Fu's reminder, she finally realized that she wasn't completely idle.
He hugged Xiao Fu tightly, his voice filled with joy: "Xiao Fu, what would I do without you!"
Xiao Wu, who was licking his fur, froze.
A classic scene suddenly popped into my mind:
Yanza, how can I live without you, Yanza!
Wei Dongning had obviously thought of that as well.
He awkwardly withdrew his hand and touched the tip of his nose: "Go change your clothes, we'll be leaving in a bit."
With the Lunar New Year just over, there are noticeably fewer pedestrians on the streets.
It was nothing like the lively scene during the Chinese New Year.
There were even fewer of them than when they came out the day before yesterday.
"It's so much more fun to go shopping when there are fewer people," Wei Dongning remarked sincerely, looking at the relatively empty streets.
Xiao Wu chimed in, "Me too. I was scared by all the crowds during the Lunar New Year."
"What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid of being squeezed out of your head."
“I think you have a lot of ideas.” Wei Dongning casually picked up a peach blossom hairpin from the jewelry stall: “Xiao Fu, why don’t you try it on?”
Xiao Fu took the hairpin and instinctively tried to put it on Wei Dongning's head.
She stopped him by pressing his hand down: "You wear it."
