late night song

Chapter 286 Sincerely
Gu Yuchu and Ling Buhuo rode together in a car and shuttled freely through the market.Along the way, the woman muttered proudly, while the man held his breath and secretly had fun. Although they were intimate, there was not a word of communication when it came to communication.

Back at the house, the two of them seemed to be back to their original selves, one had something to say but couldn't say anything, and the other was patient and patient.

"Um, are you free tonight?"

It wasn't until he silently followed Ling Buhuo into the study that Gu Yuchu made up his mind to do something to change the current situation, which was calm on the surface but undercurrent.

"Is there anything special?"

Ling Buhuo sat behind the desk and picked up a military newspaper and read it without even raising his eyes.

"I invite you to dinner."

"Where are we going to eat?" The man slowly raised his eyes, seeming to be interested. However, the woman's next performance disappointed him.

"You can choose any of the major restaurants in Yunjing."

"No time!"

"Don't worry about my wallet, how about we go to Wutan Building to drink wine?" Gu Yuchu didn't seem to realize that he had offended the man again, and he still refused to let go.

"Can you have some brains? Why is Shu Yuan being tortured?!" General Ling Buhuo placed the report heavily on the case, frowning and cursing in a low voice with his eyes crossed.

"Then what do you want me to do? Tell me?"

She pretended to be innocent, just to force him to point out a clear path for her, so that she wouldn't have to worry so much about guessing.

"First figure out what you plan to do and show some sincerity."

Ling Buhuo didn't fall for her trap. This time she had to apologize seriously and proactively, otherwise she would never compromise.

"Sincerity? But besides having money, all I have left is beauty."

Gu Yuchu blinked his eyes, walked around the large desk, stopped at the side of his Taishi chair, and said teasingly. The man in front of him was so shocked that he almost choked to death with his saliva. Fortunately, he had been tested for a long time and was able to stabilize himself. After calming down, he stared directly into her eyes and cut off the shortcut she had planned in her heart:
"I can't bear your beauty now."

"you sure?"

Gu Yuchu moved a few steps closer and sat on the table beside Ling Buhuo. She rested her elbows on his military newspaper, tilted her upper body to one side and tilted her head. Her hair fell on the man's slender fingers. She squinted. The eyes and the corners of the mouth were raised, and they were only two feet away from his eyes, which was very provocative.

"I still have government affairs to deal with. If you have nothing else to do, just leave quickly."

Ling Buhuo pulled away his hand from the desk, looked away, not daring to look at the woman again, and dismissed.

Gu Yuchu tapped his fingers and dawdled for a long time. Seeing that he was still calm and indifferent, knowing that he was bored, he had to retreat silently.

After leaving the room, she couldn't help but tremble. Thinking of her "arrogant words" just now, she punched herself twice in the forehead with remorse.

The man in the room straightened his clothes, shook his head, smiled slightly, and then plunged into the sea of ​​words on the desk.

…………

Regarding the word sincerity, Gu Yuchu, who had been rejected many times, pondered hard all night. Finally, in the early morning of the next day, she waited in front of Ling Buhuo's study door again, but she was still a little hesitant. In a daze and hesitation, she had just left the study. The man hit his arms full.

"What are you doing?"

Ling Buhuo looked impatient and disgusted, but in fact, he was already happy.

"Um...are you busy today?"

Gu Yuchu asked nervously with his hands behind his back and one foot rubbing nervously on the ground.

"I'll have a court meeting in a while, and then I'll go to the military camp in the afternoon."

"Then...what about tonight?"

"General Shu invited me to play chess tonight."

"Oh... then you should be busy."

The woman gave way to the side in despair and stopped asking any more questions. Ling Buhuo glanced at her and walked forward without hesitation, but stopped after two steps, looked back leisurely, and asked with a half-smile:
"What are you doing, inviting me to dinner again?!"

"Hmm."

Gu Yuchu raised his head in surprise and jumped forward. He answered simply, but realized something was wrong. He quickly waved his hand and explained: "But I'm not going out to eat, I'm at home, so...are you free?"

"I've made an appointment with General Shu at Xushi. You can come back for breakfast and dinner."

The warmth in Ling Buhuo's eyes shone like the first day of the sun, and she immediately beamed and became excited.

"Then it's agreed, I'll...wait for you to come back."

"it is good."

The two agreed, Ling Buhuo was in a good mood and strode out of the mansion, while Gu Yuchu immediately got busy.

According to her plan, she went to the market with her shopping, bought fresh ingredients, and worked hard for most of the day, stewing, steaming, frying, and stir-frying all the dishes she was good at. I went through all the dishes I have made or learned now, and finally selected a few that looked good and tasted good and served them on the table.

During this period, she did not forget to dress up carefully, and finally hurriedly intercepted Ling Buhuo, who had just returned home, in the yard.

Ling Buhuo felt warm in his heart when he saw her fussing around. He raised his hand to hold the skewed hairpin in her hair, and carefully looked at her bright and colorful outfit. He didn't say much, but the joy in his eyes was beyond words.

Gu Yuchu generously took his hand and quickly dragged him to the main hall, still mumbling: "The food won't taste good when it's cold."

Ling Buhuo cooperated extremely well throughout the whole process. He was dragged to sit in front of the Eight Immortals table. He was a little distracted looking at the dishes on the table. He didn't know where to move his chopsticks for a while.

Gu Yuchu stood aside and quickly filled a bowl of soup and handed it to him.

"Try it quickly, the specialty of Panyu, pork belly and chicken soup."

The man smiled and tasted half the bowl in one bite. It was indeed full of flavor and nodded unconsciously. Gu Yuchu became more confident because of his feedback and quickly handed over his chopsticks, urging him to try other dishes.

"The anchovy shrimps are very fresh, but too sweet. The cherry broth is juicy, but the heat is too high. Although the jade cicada soup looks good, the ginger juice is thick and covers up part of the freshness. So, these are all for you Made by your own hands?”

Ling Buhuo put down his chopsticks and made an objective comment, which made Gu Yuchu's originally inflated confidence disappear. Her sincerity seemed to be unacceptable, and she said aggrievedly:
"Ang, if it doesn't taste good, don't eat it."

Unexpectedly, the man smiled, picked up the chopsticks and tasted it again.

"If this skill comes from the hands of a chef, I'm afraid my job will be in jeopardy, but... if it were you... someone who doesn't know how to cook, it would be very valuable."

The conversation changed so quickly that Gu Yuchu was obviously in disbelief, but when he saw Ling Buhuo's unstoppable chopsticks, he began to feel happy again.

Then, she clapped her hands, the sound of silk and bamboo sounded, and the two dancers walked out from behind the curtain and started dancing.

Gu Yuchu originally thought that Ling Buhuo would be in a happier mood, but the reality was completely opposite to what she expected, and the man's face gradually turned cold.

"What, don't you like it?" She toasted a glass of wine and explained, "I see last time, you specially invited the two of them to perform in the house, but unfortunately I interrupted..."

Indeed, these two dancers were not found casually, but were specially invited by Gu Yuchu.That day she disturbed Ling Buhuo's elegance and drove the two dancers out. Today she made a special effort to make amends, but she never thought that her good intentions would lead to other intentions.

"So, you plan to send the two of them to my room after it's over, right?" He turned sideways and whispered in Gu Yuchu's ear.

"No..." The woman looked confused, but after learning that he had such thoughts, the displeasure in her heart somehow prompted her to say something that made the man furious.

"But if you want..."

"Okay, General Yuchi's kind wishes, I can only be respectful rather than obey."

This woman is actually willing to push herself to others? !Ling Buhuo threw his chopsticks, retorted angrily, and then angrily pulled the two dancing girls Juechen away.

The two beauties were excited about the opportunity to soar to the sky. But one second they were still thinking about how to show their charm tonight, and the next second they were violently sent out of the mansion by this moody man.

Ling Buhuo wandered around his mansion depressed and angrily. He was completely disappointed. After getting enough of the cool breeze, he walked dejectedly to his study.

But the moment he opened the door to his room, regret surged into his heart.

He saw dots of candlelight swaying all over the room, which was warm and unique. A few candles on the ground were placed in the shape of a smiling face when he entered. Only then did he realize that the person who looked confused and careless The heartless woman really showed all her sincerity this time.

Ling Buhuo stood in a daze, feeling a little overwhelmed thinking about the unhappy breakup just now. Suddenly, someone behind him put his arms around his waist, and a familiar yet gentle voice sounded in his ears.

"Sorry, I was wrong."

The man's eyes were red, and he turned around and hugged the woman behind him tightly.

"I'm just worried that the food is not to your liking, so I asked them to distract you. It's not what you think..." Gu Yuchu took off his disguise, stopped being angry, and frankly expressed his true intentions.

"I'm not right either." Ling Buhuo lowered his head and kissed her forehead, "But why do you have to find them..."

"I really can't think of what you like. At least they have come to the house, so they think you are not resistant in your heart."

"Don't you know what I like just by looking at you?"

This sweet and critical sentence made Gu Yuchu blush with embarrassment. He buried himself in the man's arms and retorted softly: "But, yesterday you said you were not lucky enough to enjoy my beauty..."

"I must have lost my head yesterday." Ling Buhuo hugged Gu Yuchusan and closed the door in two steps, then sat on his desk with her arms across his arms.

Just when he was about to kiss him, the woman grabbed his chin flexibly and accurately.

"I still need to make something clear." "What?" The man looked helpless.

"I wrongly blamed you for Ji He's matter."

"Well, I accept your apology." Ling Buhuo couldn't resist the urge to be intimate and leaned forward again, but Gu Yuchu still dodged him.

"But you should also be considerate of me. Anyone else would think that way."

"You are not someone else, you should believe me."

"Then let me ask you, if it were me and Qi Lian, would you believe me?"

Such embarrassing questioning made the heat in Ling Buhuo's eyes dissipate and he fell silent. He thought about it again and again and replied, "If you say no, I will believe you."

"But at that time you didn't confirm that you didn't have it, let alone tell me that you didn't have it." Gu Yuchu was unreasonable and continued to distinguish.

"So, you just apologized today, but you still refused to admit your mistake?" Ling Buhuo let her go, turned his back and thought for a while, then turned sideways and squinted at the woman and asked.

"I admit it, I admit it, but I think we need to make things clear to avoid the same thing happening again in the future and us having unnecessary arguments."

Gu Yuchu jumped down from the desk, walked around to him, held his arm and said.

"The same thing happens again?! Ha! OK, let's make it clear!" The man threw his arms away angrily.

"Would you like to drink some wine to calm down your anger?" Gu Yuchu continued to please.

"want!"

"Then just wait, I'll get the wine!" After saying that, the successful woman walked away and walked out.

Ling Buhuo calmed down for a while, sighed leisurely, and a slight smile warmed the corners of his mouth. Then, he turned around and took a few steps to catch up, holding the woman's hand and dragging her deeper into the courtyard.

He led people to a two-story tower. The moment he opened the door, the strong aroma of wine hit his face, making Gu Yuchu's jaw drop.

This tower, which looks ordinary from the outside, turns out to be an octagonal wine cellar.

Looking around, the niches on the eight sides of the inner room are densely packed with wine jars up and down. The red wine seals are eye-catching. The year of brewing is marked in seal script on the horizontal wall. The wine jars in every position and vertical column are A small wooden sign hangs in front of it, with the name of the wine, origin, place of origin and food type written on it.

However, what Gu Yu first saw was only the surface of this wine cellar.

Ling Buhuo lit all the lights in the room, and then she saw clearly the hollow interior of the room, which was surrounded by eight sides, and the spiral staircase going down three floors. The further down, the more expensive the wine.

In the middle floor of the room, there is a round table for drinking, cushioned curtains, pearl tassels, and glass cups, which makes you feel like you are in a fairyland.The scattered gilt palace lanterns hanging from the ceiling are flickering with dim light. When you raise your eyes, they cannot reach the sky, and when you lower your eyebrows, they cannot touch the ground. They are half-suspended in the air, just like being drunk and swaying.

"Ling Ziyu and I changed homes, and the wine cellar was the one we were most reluctant to part with." Ling Buhuo introduced.

"Why didn't you bring me here earlier for such a good place?" Gu Yuchu asked with squinting eyes.

"Wine fascinates the mind, so drink less." Before Ling Buhuo finished admonishing, Gu Yuchu had already picked up a jar of fine wine, flew down, dropped it onto the cushions of the round table, and started drinking by himself.

Ling Buhuo smiled helplessly, took a seat on the altar, and asked:

"Are you still talking?"

"Of course!" Gu Yuchu's almond-shaped eyes squinted, he took a sip of wine and asked while tasting it, "I'm curious, are you angry because I didn't apologize to you in time, or are you angry because I didn't believe you."

"All of them." The man also took a sip from the jar.

"It's true that I was wrong for not apologizing to you in time, but you never defended that matter from beginning to end. Isn't this an acquiescence? I can't be so generous. Then again, if I If you are so generous, I'm afraid you will be even more angry, right?"

What Gu Yuchu said was reasonable and well-founded, which made Ling Buhuo not know what to say for a moment. He thought for a while and asked:
"Then let me ask you, if that thing is true, without Helan's eager eyes, would you still advance and retreat with me in Ziyan Palace that day?"

The woman was silent, took a sip of wine, smiled awkwardly, and did not answer.

"Will you leave me? Huh?" He asked softly, his eyebrows twitching slightly.

"Since I have chosen you, I probably won't." Gu Yuchu pursed his lips and did not finish the sentence.

"However, it's not necessarily true. People like you are destined to be remembered by others throughout their lives. Ji He didn't succeed today, but someone will succeed in the future. As long as you only see me in your heart and eyes, I probably won't be too devastated, but if One day you will fail me both physically and mentally, and I won’t cling to you shamelessly. There’s nothing wrong with you being apart from me.”

"Humph! I am burdened both physically and mentally? I am not as cool as you. Even if you are burdened to me physically and mentally, I will never let you go. I will tie you to my side. We will live together and die together. There is no escape anywhere in the sky or on earth!" Ling Buhuo touched her with the jar and spoke lightly but firmly.

"It's not enough to torture others, but you also have to torture yourself, but it's really cruel." Gu Yuchu frowned and glanced at him beside him, rolled his eyes with a smile and muttered in a low voice.

"I'll ask you again. If I insist that nothing happened that night, will you believe me unconditionally?" the man then asked.

"Of course not!" Without the slightest hesitation, Gu Yuchu poured cold water on her, "On the contrary, if you are really sophistical, I will look down on you."

"Squibbling?! So, if Ji He doesn't clarify, do you think I did something to her?" Ling Buhuo asked with his eyes widened, unable to accept such an answer at all.

"Otherwise? Sanxing Academy only produces a generalist in 50 years, and he specializes in medical skills. He can't even find a cup of problematic wine. Who would believe it?"

"Auntie, I was so drunk by the ministers that night that I couldn't recognize anything, and you and I had a huge quarrel. In the heat of the moment, do you think I'm still capable of distinguishing a cup of colorless and tasteless love potion?"

"Others can't do it, but you can still do it. Even if you can't tell the difference, even if you're drunk, it doesn't matter. With your internal strength, you can always restrain yourself after you find something is wrong."

"I think you just don't know how powerful that medicine is without personal experience. If I have that thing in my hand now, would you dare to give it a try while you are conscious and have all your inner strength?"

"Why don't you dare?!"

"Remember what you said, don't cheat when the time comes!"

"Just admit it if you can't control yourself. When the time comes, Auntie, I'll show you what it means to be strong-willed and calm!" Gu Yuchu said firmly with his eyes crossed.

"well……"

Ling Buhuo held his breath, took a swig of wine, gritted his teeth and replied. Then he thought about it and felt that something was wrong. This provocation was clearly filled with doubts and distrust, so he then confirmed: "What do you mean?" Yes, if the truth is not revealed, you will not believe me from the bottom of your heart, right?"

"After all, you are also a man. Besides, you are not sure in your heart, so you still want to blame me for not believing in you. Isn't it a bit too much?!"

Gu Yuchu glanced at him, held the jar and touched a glass with him, raised his chin like a rogue, and replied calmly, not bothering to discuss it further with him in front of the fine wine.

The grievance in Ling Buhuo's heart rose to the extreme. He sat upright and kicked down several empty jars at his feet. He clasped the chin of the absent-minded woman who had caused the trouble with one hand and forced her to look into his eyes. Asked rhetorically:

"Why am I not sure? Don't you have a clue?"

"How could I know what I know!"

Gu Yuchu was in high spirits, opened a new jar of wine, waved his hand, and drank to himself, without taking these words to heart at all.

But then the man's cold and serious expression made her correct her attitude unconsciously. She laughed along with him, and no longer drank as much as before, but took a few sips, smacking her lips in embarrassment, and remained silent.

"Ji He said that she was knocked unconscious by me that night. With your distrust of me, I was drunk and drunk that night. I'm afraid I couldn't do such a stupid thing that is selfless. In fact, I am also extremely drunk. I’m sure I didn’t have time to take action, so who do you think Ji He was knocked unconscious by?”

Ling Buhuo raised doubts and said it was a discussion, but it was more like questioning and extracting a confession.

"I didn't know..." Gu Yuchu was obviously starting to panic. She scratched her forehead and immediately denied it.

"The next morning, Ji He left the palace without being noticed by anyone. Do you think it was a careful design or a coincidence?"

"God's will, you think too much..."

She continued to avoid the important things, stopped making eye contact, and drank a lot of wine while avoiding them.

"Oh, I have specifically investigated. That morning, Yanfeng transferred all the guards and maids from my palace to Yongtai Gate on the pretext of lecturing the whole palace. I also checked the records of the inner palace that day, and there was no such thing at all. What are you talking about in the palace, so I went to ask Yan Feng, what do you think she said to me?" Ling Buhuo paused and said deceitfully.

"This wine has a strong aftertaste. I'm a little dizzy..." Gu Yuchutuan sat holding the wine jar, his head drooped, trying to change the subject.

"General Yuchi has always been brave enough to take action, isn't he?!"

After some provocation, Ling Buhuo came closer and whispered in her ear: "Did you come to my bedroom that night?"

Now that the matter has come to this, there is really no need to hide it.

Gu Yuchu took a deep breath, drank half the jar of wine in his arms, burped a few times, and spoke slowly:
"That's right, I... knocked Ji He unconscious... After we had a fight, I was so angry. I was not familiar with the road to Ziyan Palace. After walking around, I actually saw Ji He dressed in palace clothes and looking very handsome. I entered your bedroom with a glass of wine. I was angry and curious, so I followed her quietly. I saw her coaxing you to drink, but you didn't refuse. After that, your face turned red, you couldn't stand still, and you started to lose control. I was throwing things around, and she came up to fight with you, so I had to knock her unconscious from behind... I originally wanted to send her away that night, but there are palace maids guarding you outside the palace. If you are discovered, you will not be able to explain clearly. , I thought of letting her go by herself the next day, and I would ask Yanfeng to clear the way for her without any witnesses, which would have thwarted Helan's trick and saved her reputation... But I never expected... "

The woman told everything she saw, planned, and considered that night, but before she could finish her talk of memories and frankness, she was interrupted by Ling Buhuo.

"None of that matters."

Ling Buhuo approached, but Gu Yuchu couldn't dodge. The wine jar slipped under his feet and he fell sideways. The man caught her waist and abdomen with one hand, leaned over to hold her down, and smiled ghostly: "So, that night, there is no need for me to bother you." I don’t know, the one who rubs my ears and temples together... is you, right?"

"What's your point!!!" The aroma of wine mixed with the scent of a man filled Gu Yuchu's mind. She blushed to the base of her ears and looked at him in disbelief.

"It's you, so I feel relieved... You are the instigator... I like it very much..."

Ling Buhuo came closer to her little by little, his eyes as hot as fire. Gu Yuchu turned over and tried to crawl away, but the man forcefully straightened her body so that she was completely restrained under him, and then kissed her fiercely.

"What are you doing! This is in the wine cellar!"

It took a long time for Gu Yuchu to break free. He tilted his head and panted, blaming in a low voice. The man pressed his forehead against her ear, suppressing his own blood that was about to burst out. Using his last patience, he spoke hoarsely:
"We've discussed everything that needs to be discussed. All that's left is your sincerity in apologizing..."
