Chapter 19 Couple Outfits
Gu Peiyan had a vague feeling that she had been tricked.
Especially Wei Dongning's smile was just too much...
brilliant.
It's like they have "I'm going to scheme against you" written all over their faces.
"Tell me, what are you planning?"
"What kind of bad intentions could I possibly have?"
Gu Peiyan simply glanced at her indifferently, without saying anything.
His eyes, however, were filled with the words "I don't believe it."
Wei Dongning walked over and affectionately took Gu Peiyan's arm: "Husband and wife should share happiness and hardship. So, I still need my husband to help me with these household matters."
"Cough. Of course." Gu Peiyan's ears turned red.
Wei Dongning curiously reached out and touched his earlobe.
The slightly cool fingertips sent a shiver down my spine.
Gu Peiyan couldn't help but shrink back.
Blushing, she took a small step back: "I still have things to take care of in my study, so don't wait for me for dinner."
Wei Dongning watched him leave, almost bursting out laughing.
This person, the way he held her during her afternoon nap was so practiced, it turns out he's also an innocent soul.
Doesn't she look kind of cute?
When Qianrong saw his young master come out of the room with a flushed face, he was afraid that he had caught a cold and couldn't help but ask with some concern: "Young master, should we find a doctor to take a look at you?"
"Need not."
"But your face looks really red. A cold can be very dangerous if it gets serious."
"Don't worry, it's not a cold."
After getting away from Wei Dongning, Gu Peiyan's facial temperature dropped considerably.
Qianrong observed him for a while longer, and only felt relieved after confirming that he really had no other symptoms.
Actually, Gu Peiyan didn't have anything to deal with.
However, the gradually rising temperature in the room made him feel that he could no longer stay there.
Gu Peiyan took out the sachet that Wei Dongning had dropped when they first met from a box in the study.
More than half a month has passed, and the medicinal fragrance inside has hardly changed.
It still smells reassuring.
In a way, it could be considered a token of love, right?
Gu Peiyan stayed in the study until 7 PM.
I thought Wei Dongning would have already gone to bed by now, but when I returned, the room was still brightly lit.
"Why aren't you resting yet?" Gu Peiyan walked to Wei Dongning's side and took the Luban lock that she was fiddling with: "Did Xiao Fu buy this?"
"I slept too much at noon, so I'm not too sleepy right now."
And then there's this Luban lock, it's so difficult!
It's quick to take apart; it can be untied in just a few moves.
It's quite difficult to put them back together; even a little force will cause the pieces you just pieced together to fall apart.
"Get some rest, we're leaving early tomorrow morning."
Guangning Temple is located in the suburbs, and it takes more than half an hour to get there by horse-drawn carriage.
Wei Dongning took the Luban lock back, as if she were competing with it: "You go to sleep first, I'm going to put this together."
She refused to believe that she couldn't even unlock a small Luban lock.
After another incense stick's time, Wei Dongning pushed the scattered wooden strips in her hand aside: "Xiao Fu! Take these things away, I don't want to see them again!"
Xiao Fu carefully put the wooden strips into the wooden box and gently comforted her, "Miss, it's alright. I'll put them away for you first. Maybe they'll be assembled by tomorrow."
"I'll take it to the carriage tomorrow and try again."
"Okay, miss."
After packing their things, Xiao Fu thoughtfully made the bed for them: "Miss, you and your husband can go to bed now."
Gu Peiyan looked calm and composed. After Xiao Fu left, she began to take off her clothes and prepare for bed.
Wei Dongning felt a little awkward: "We're going to sleep together?"
"We are husband and wife, so naturally we share the same bed. Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you."
"You said it yourself, only a dog would break its promise."
Wei Dongning slowly took off her outer robe and quickly crawled into bed.
Having already slept together before, Wei Dongning was completely at ease when she woke up in Gu Peiyan's arms again.
She could even calmly greet him with a "Good morning".
When Xiao Fu brought in the hot water, the cold air followed.
Wei Dongning couldn't help but shiver: "Is it very cold outside today?"
"It's alright, it's snowing outside." Xiao Fu smiled and helped Wei Dongning find her clothes for the day: "Miss, how about this cloak today?"
Wei Dongning looked up.
A light pink embroidered cape.
It looks very warm.
"This one's the one! Which one do you want to wear?"
The second sentence was said to Gu Peiyan.
If he can't think of what to wear, she plans to put together matching outfits.
Gu Peiyan pondered for a moment, then directed Xiao Fu to find a dark-patterned cloak in the wardrobe.
Standing next to Wei Dongning, anyone could see their relationship at a glance.
The carriage swayed and rattled as it headed towards the outskirts of the city.
Wei Dongning couldn't resist lifting the small curtain on the car window and sticking her head out to admire the scenery along the way.
After being thoroughly chilled by the cold air, it was put down shivering.
Hearing a low laugh beside her, Wei Dongning put down the hand warmer she was holding and slipped her icy fingertips inside Gu Peiyan's collar.
The sudden stimulation made Gu Peiyan flinch involuntarily.
"Hmph, huh? Serves you right for laughing at me. I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget."
Wei Dongning smugly withdrew her hand and obediently hugged her little hand warmer.
The snow piled up thicker and thicker, but fortunately it didn't hinder the carriage's progress.
The wheels crunched and groaned as they rolled over the freshly fallen snow.
It sounds like a lullaby without lyrics.
With the warmth inside the carriage, Wei Dongning began to feel drowsy again.
My head was nodding off, and I was trying my best not to fall asleep.
"Don't fall asleep, otherwise you'll easily catch a cold when you get off the bus."
Gu Peiyan placed the peeled orange in Wei Dongning's hand and slightly opened a corner of the curtain on her side to allow air to circulate.
Wei Dongning broke off a small piece of orange and fed it to his mouth: "You've worked hard, you can have the first bite."
Seeing that he didn't seem bothered by the sourness when he swallowed the orange, Wei Dongning felt relieved and put the rest of the orange into her mouth.
If Xiao Wu comes back, he'll probably call Gu Peiyan "poor Tom" again, right?
I don't know how long it will take for it to come back.
She really misses it.
The carriage stopped in front of Guangning Temple. Gu Peiyan stepped down first, then reached out her hand to Wei Dongning behind her: "Slow down, watch your step."
Wei Dongning placed her hand on his and joked playfully, "Then you have to hold me steady, okay? If I fall, you'll have to carry me all day."
"It is not appropriate to be overly intimate inside the temple."
Wei Dongning originally just wanted to tease him, and she also understood that Buddhist temples should be more solemn.
But after hearing him say that, I suddenly felt a chill in my heart.
It was like having your enthusiasm doused with a bucket of ice water.
He subtly withdrew his hand, trying to keep his voice steady: "Don't block the doorway, let's go inside."
