Chapter 1287 - Goes Without Saying (2/2)

Huh? Gu Meng squinted through the branches. It was Ye Qing.

She was extremely confused. Shouldn’t he be in bed with Xue’er right now?

Ye Qing walked really quickly. With a few large strides, he had arrived at the hot spring.

Before Gu Meng could show her presence on the tree, she saw him taking off his clothes. From Gu Meng’s angle, she happened to see his firm and muscular chest, and his well-defined muscles.

Gu Meng’s long eyelashes fluttered, not knowing if she should make any sound. As she had yet to get rid of her suffocating emotions, so seeing his good figure suddenly made her really fl.u.s.tered and panicked.

She closed her eyes, not wanting to see him.

Just as Gu Meng planned to get off the tree quietly, a cold thing suddenly landed on her neck. Gu Meng’s eyes widened in fear.

Was she so unlucky?

It was a snake!

That thing continued to move along her back. Gu Meng had been scared of nothing since young, but she was the most afraid of such cold-blooded animals.

No matter if it was venomous or not, she would still be so scared that her soul left her. The moment the snake moved onto her back, Gu Meng shouted out loud, “Save me!”

Gu Meng screamed as she jumped into the hot spring from the tree.

Ye Qing stared as the woman jumped into the hot spring with a snake on her back. He furrowed his eyebrows and grabbed the snake with a dark expression. The snake let go of Gu Meng, wanting to bite Ye Qing. However, with a pinch, Ye Qing threw the snake away ruthlessly.

“It hurts!” Gu Meng was so scared her face was pale.

Ye Qing stood in front of Gu Meng and reached out to tug the back of her s.h.i.+rt.

“W-What are you doing?”

“Move your hand away if you don’t want to die.” He narrowed his eyes, his expression cold as he continued, “I’ll settle you watching me soak in the hot spring secretly later.”

“I wasn’t watching you secretly. I was the one who came fiー!” Before she could finish, the back of her s.h.i.+rt was pulled up. There were two clear bite marks on the back of her shoulder, the bite marks looking a little bruised.

Ye Qing had received training since young, so he knew some survival skills. Taking out a dagger from his pants that was placed beside the pool. The sharp blade sparkled coldly under the moonlight. “The snake is venomous, so I need to get the venom out.”

Gu Meng’s eyes widened. “Using a knife? Shouldn’t it be sucked out?”

Ye Qing remained indifferent. “Do you think it’s possible?”

Gu Meng’s long lashes fluttered as she looked away. “Do it then!”

Ye Qing slashed the blade against her wound, before he squeezed the venom out with his hands.

It hurt! Gu Meng was in terrible pain, but she held her pain down without letting out a single eep.

…

Meanwhile, Xue’er stood in a distance, staring at the two figures in the hot spring.

Gu Meng was completely covered by Ye Qing’s tall figure. From Xue’er’s angle, the two looked extremely intimate.

Xue’er’s teeth clenched so tightly together that her teeth were about to shatter.

She wore a nightgown and appeared in front of him looking all soft and delicious, yet he ignored her and came to the hot spring with his bodyguard…

With hands clenched into fists, Xue’er felt angry and unresigned.

So what if she lost to Nan Zhi? Deep down, she could tolerate and even accept that Nan Zhi was outstanding in her own way. But why did she lose to a bodyguard that was worse than her in every aspect?
