Chapter 942 The Honest Girl Who Went Crazy (16)
Mu Zhou snapped out of her daze after suddenly seeing Gu Huaiyuan.
She shyly pulled away from his chest, rubbing her eyes as if to hide her embarrassment:
"Second Brother Gu, are you alright?"
"No."
"Are you hungry? I'll cook you a bowl of noodles."
"I'm not hungry, I've already eaten."
Mu Zhou caught a glimpse of the sunflowers in the yard out of the corner of his eye and blurted out:
"The sunflower seeds are all cooked, and they taste especially good."
Gu Huaiyuan smiled.
"Okay, I'll try it tomorrow."
Mu Zhou felt inexplicably awkward from his laughter, and pulled him away:
"Go back inside quickly."
Once inside the room, Gu Huaiyuan finally noticed the pajamas she was wearing.
His dark eyes suddenly darkened.
A tank top will expose a lot of skin.
What's more, she had just snuggled in Gu Huaiyuan's arms for a long time, and now her collar was askew and disheveled, with a slight curve of her chest showing.
The shorts she wore were around the knee, not particularly short, but they perfectly accentuated the muscle lines of her calves.
She wasn't thin to the point of being frail; on the contrary, years of hard work had given her legs taut lines and not an ounce of excess fat.
After arriving in the city, she lived a life of luxury, and her skin became even paler, not the kind of naturally pale, cold white.
Instead, it is a soft white like warm jade, with a subtle hint of pink.
Gu Huaiyuan swallowed hard and subtly looked away.
Mu Zhou handed him a glass of water, which he took and drank in one gulp.
I finally managed to suppress the burning desire in my heart.
"Second Brother Gu, are you injured?"
Mu Zhou asked worriedly.
She heard from a woman in the compound that her husband had returned from a mission with serious injuries, but he kept it a secret from her.
Therefore, Mu Zhou was also very worried.
Gu Huaiyuan put down his water glass and looked at her, shaking his head slightly.
"No."
Although at one point he was just one step away from death, he pulled through.
Gu Huaiyuan thought back to that time.
He was driven to the brink of despair and was almost prepared to sacrifice himself, but he accidentally touched that little woolen dog.
The pink puppy that Mu Zhou knitted for him by hand.
Before leaving, he inexplicably sewed the puppy into a hidden pocket.
In the past, he often saw his comrades-in-arms sewing photos of their wives and children into their clothes and looking at them from time to time.
He was always indifferent.
But this time, he followed their example and earnestly carried the yarn puppy with him.
From the moment he became a soldier, he took life and death lightly and had no attachments.
But the moment he closed his eyes, he suddenly remembered how Mu Zhou had peeked at him when he saw him off.
It felt like something was melting in my chest.
He struggled to open his eyes again.
He thought he had to come back alive.
Otherwise, Mu Zhou would be heartbroken beyond measure.
She went through so much trouble to marry him; he can't just die like this.
Mu Zhou said the puppy could "protect him," and he believed it.
Just as he was about to give up, he placed his hand on the spot where the woolen puppy had been, as if he had received some kind of energy.
He finally held out until reinforcements arrived.
How could he not be injured? He was unconscious for a long time after that.
Fortunately, everything is alright now.
At that moment, meeting Mu Zhou's worried eyes, he looked at her and repeated:
"No injuries."
Mu Zhou finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She hovered around him, chattering away and asking him all sorts of questions.
Gu Huaiyuan had to admit that he really missed the days when she was more talkative.
He listened attentively as Mu Zhou recounted the events of the past few months, as if he had never been absent.
Mu Zhou finally remembered:
"You must be very tired. I won't bother you. Go and get some rest."
She got up in annoyance, realizing that she had been bothering him the whole time, and thought of making amends by getting him a basin of water.
Gu Huaiyuan suddenly grabbed her hand.
He stood up and pressed her back into her seat:
"Don't bother, I can do it myself."
Then, Mu Zhou sat there and watched him wash up and change his clothes in an orderly manner.
She rested her chin on her hand and slowly began to feel sleepy.
My head was throbbing so badly I almost couldn't hold on.
Finally, a large hand cupped her face.
Mu Zhou subconsciously rubbed her face against his palm, her delicate cheek brushing against his rough fingertips. She felt a little uncomfortable before opening her eyes.
When she looked up, she met Gu Huaiyuan's deep black eyes.
He bent down slightly, getting quite close to her.
Mu Zhou seemed not to be fully awake yet, so she tilted her head back and stared at him with her misty eyes.
Gu Huaiyuan's throat tightened, his dark eyes fixed on her with a hint of restraint.
She seemed completely unaware that one side of the ruffled shoulder strap had slipped down and was hanging loosely there.
With just a slight downward glance, that softly glowing skin would eagerly come into Gu Huaiyuan's view.
He gritted his teeth silently.
Why are you staring at him with those innocent eyes?
Is she going to use the same old trick to seduce him again?
Ah.
He'd only been pretending to be well for a short while, and now he couldn't keep up the act anymore?
As expected, his thieving heart remained unchanged.
Gu Huaiyuan's breath was slightly hot, and his body was stiff and tense.
He is thinking.
If she shamelessly pounces on him, will he simply push her away, or will he restrain her?
No.
It's too risky to just throw her off; I'm too strong, and even if I manage to control her, I can't guarantee I won't accidentally drop her to the ground.
She has such delicate skin now, I wonder if she'll cry if she falls.
He'll have to coax her then.
Too troublesome.
control?
She doesn't seem like the kind of person who would be easily controlled.
Well, if she's really going to make a mistake, it's better to teach her a lesson.
Gu Huaiyuan made his decision, his body stiffening silently, his breathing seemingly slowing down.
Silently anticipating... no, rigorously scrutinizing her every move.
We're just waiting for her to seduce us so we can catch her red-handed and give her a serious talking-to.
Mu Zhou did not disappoint him.
She sat up slightly straighter, bringing the two of them closer together.
But Gu Huaiyuan did not dodge.
He lowered his eyes, his gaze lingering on her face, moving inch by inch, until finally settling on her pink lips.
Her lips were full and slightly upturned, and she always seemed to be smiling.
At that moment, those lips moved slightly.
Gu Huaiyuan's pupils contracted, and his heartstrings seemed to be plucked for a moment, becoming extremely tense.
What does she want to do?
Kiss him?
That's incredibly bold.
Gu Huaiyuan swallowed hard.
Tension and trepidation alternated in my mind.
But she didn't make a move for a long time.
Gu Huaiyuan thought, perhaps it was because he was too tall that it was inconvenient for her?
So, he stiffly leaned closer.
They were so close that their breaths almost mingled.
Gu Huaiyuan comforted himself, saying that he did this only to lower Mu Zhou's guard and lure her into revealing her true purpose.
It was merely a ploy to lure the enemy.
Seeing this subtle cooperation, Mu Zhou suppressed her laughter, maintaining her innocent expression as her long eyelashes slowly blinked.
"Second Brother Gu, I'm a little sleepy."
Her voice was soft and sweet, as if she had just woken up.
It also had a touch of cute and innocent charm.
And complete trust in him.
Very nice.
