”How can you not scare people, Gu Xuanchen!”

If not for her fear of losing face, she would have gotten up after squatting on the floor and crying out her soul. She might not have felt her legs go weak, but she could still hear the sound of her heartbeat from two miles away.

”I thought you weren't afraid.” Gu Yun hugged her from behind, and reached out to cover her beating heart, ”It's not okay if I'm wrong, I shouldn't be so shocked. Don't be afraid of losing face, you can just squat on the ground, or even cry on my body if you want to.”

”Where are you touching?!” Xie Jingxi snappily hit his mischievous hands away, making him giggle.

”Why do you have to turn hostile? That wasn't what you said last night. I remembered it all.” Gu Yun once again put his hand back, ”If it wasn't for the place I'm at now, I really want to do something.”

”I'm taking it back, Gu Xuanchen. How is your skin so thick that you get addicted to it? You must be used to it, right?”

”Hmm, of course, my wife is fond of me, do you have any objections?” Gu Yun bit on her neck, ”Take it back, you can forget about it. If you like me, then you have to face it bravely, you can't go back on your words.”

The more they talked, the more lost they became. Xie Jingxi was too lazy to argue with them, ”What did you just say?

”Don't change the topic, come and face one.”

”Are you done yet!?” Xie Jingxi forcefully placed the small oil lamp in his hand. ”Hold it steady and don't shake it.”

Just as she placed the light bulb in his hand, the light bulb suddenly went off. The place they were standing at turned back into the darkness, as if it was causing a ghost.

Compared to those chaotic and secret, he was actually more concerned about the days he spent with her. These small, especially interesting days, bickering and flirting.

Xie Jingxi came back to reality and laughed, ”I say, Gu Xuanchen, you are getting more and more childish. I am laughing at you, looking down on you, really looking down on you.”

”It's no use laughing, my hands are shaking. My wife isn't used to me and isn't happy.”

Xie Jingxi tapped his lips, and took a light bite, ”You're much more viscous than Gu Sansi. Your image in my heart, is currently moving from Xie Bakuai to Gu Sansi.

Gu Yun dragged her retreating head, and deeply kissed his hair and ears, the temperature in the dark and cold environment suddenly rose, ”I'm counting.” After a long while, he finally let go of the blushing person, ”Even if I became like Ming Yu, you would still like me.”

Gu Yun lit up the lamp once again, and it shone upon Xie Jingxi's bright red cheeks. He laughed, ”From now on, when you are cold, I will have to do something, the effect is very good.”

”Hurry up and go out. I already have no way of directly facing your face. What's wrong with someone called Ming Yu?

”Let's get down to business.” Master Gu's face instantly turned serious, as if he was the one who was playing the rogue. He raised the light in his hand and said, ”It's this book.”

Xie Jingxi looked at the booklet he was pointing at, and she realized that the reason why Gu Yun was making fun of her was probably because of nervousness. He had seen this booklet before in the Marquis Mansion, and it was very likely that it was a notebook that the Lady Ji had used to record before. Furthermore, it was very likely that he had not shown it to Gu Yun even though he had not seen it before.

Xie Jingxi took down the small booklet and spoke in a conversational tone, ”Looks like Grandfather came here later on, so I guess Mother's things in Marquis Mansion must be kept here as well. So Grandfather is very concerned about Mother.”

”Can you see it clearly? Are you stupid? Can't you go out and see?”

Oh yeah, Xie Jingxi pretended not to care, but in reality she was even more nervous than him. She even forgot to look around outside to see what was going on, and laughed, ”We were both stupid to stay at a place where we could be poisoned just by sniffing for so long.”

He even did such a small thing that couldn't be seen by others. He was so dumb that it felt like he was in the beginning of a relationship.

There was a table and chair outside, and Gu Yun sat on his lap as he opened the small notebook. The two of them read it together, but in reality, it was nothing much, more like a essay from day to day, but what was rare was that there was something written almost every single day. Sometimes, it was extremely detailed, and sometimes it could even be said in a few sentences, but it was as if a person's entire life was watching over this book.
