2858 Negotiation 3 (1/2)

Di Fuyi had no intention to be her apprentice, and certainly did not want to be like Fan Qianshi!

Just then, he had finished grilling the venison and handed her a piece of the best meat along with a pot of sweet wine. ”Come, drink this wine.”

Gu Xijiu did not reject his offer. She ate the meat while sipping on the fine wine and sighed in her heart. Sure enough, after she gave him a firm promise, she got treated differently from the man. The meat that he prepared for her was delicious, the wine was good, and she had a big cloak wrapped around her body to keep her warm despite the harsh temperatures. All in all, this was actually a blissful moment.

Perhaps, she did not need to expect any more trouble from the man? Gu Xijiu suddenly felt that it would be such a bad thing for her to give up a few years of her life if it meant that her present would be more bearable.

She ate a piece of venison meat and drank another mouthful of liqueur, before wrapping herself up comfortably in her big cloak and slept. When she woke up, she found herself in his arms again. Apparently, the man had fallen asleep next to her on the soft bed. She leaned in his arms and had one leg wrapped around his waist. Both of them were even sharing the same blanket!

Quietly, Gu Xijiu rolled out of his arms like a thief in the night, trying to think of what she might have done while she was sleeping. She remembered that she experienced frostbite while resting, and her blood did not flow smoothly. However, she had no recollection of snuggling herself into his arms. How could they sleep together so closely? This was only suitable for a husband and wife.

Fortunately, there was no third party to see them here; otherwise, she would not even know how to begin explaining the situation.

”Are you awake? How do you feel?” Di Fuyi also sat up and looked at her tenderly.

Gu Xijiu frowned and quickly clarified, ”How did I get into your arms?”

Di Fuyi replied, ”Good question! I was lying here comfortably, and then you rolled over, lifted my arm, and the rest is self-explanatory. I couldn't even push you away and had to sleep next to you.”

Gu Xijiu was speechless. This certainly did not sound like her. But perhaps, deep down in her subconscious mind, she knew that she could recover better in his arms, so she automatically gravitated to him.

Di Fuyi stretched his waist and sighed. ”My arm is numb because of you.”
