Chapter 158 Fall

"My dear..."

He suddenly drew out the last syllable, his fingertips gently hooking the silk sash around her waist, "Look, I just drew a kiln with pine soot ink."

His wine-stained sleeve brushed across the table, and he actually managed to scribble a grotesque mess on the rice paper. "Like this, like this, I can grill meat for Qingqing every day..."

Xu Qingmeng was amused by his childish behavior and was about to speak when she saw Gu Yunyi suddenly stop smiling.

He propped up his burning forehead, his gaze passing through the flickering candlelight, as if he could see that cautious figure after the accident.

"Qingqing..." His Adam's apple bobbed, and the smell of alcohol rose in his mouth. "You must have been heartbroken back then." He suddenly gripped her hand tightly and pressed it to his chest. "It hurts terribly here, I..."

The night breeze, carrying the fragrance of flowers, swept through the curtains, and Gu Yunyi's fingertips gently caressed her palm.

These days, he thinks back to how, even after his harsh words, she still supported their family, making their lives better and better, and now she has their child. What have he done to deserve this?!

"My love...it hurts..."

Xu Qingmeng was startled and quickly asked, "Where does it hurt?"

"It hurts everywhere," Gu Yunyi suddenly said in a childlike, coquettish tone.

Xu Qingmeng breathed a sigh of relief: "...You said you weren't drunk!"

"No way," Xu Qingmeng muttered softly, but the man heard her and immediately retorted.

Gu Yunyi's gaze was fixed on Xu Qingmeng's face. "Qingqing, my wife, you are mine, and you can only be mine."

His emphasis fell on the two "I"s, which made Xu Qingmeng pause for a moment.

Xu Qingmeng sighed helplessly and said irritably, "Yes, yes, it's yours. I'll help you lie down first."

Xu Qingmeng lifted his arm, then helped him to the bedside and turned to let him sit down.

Unexpectedly, the man was quite tall, and he lost his balance and fell down.

"Oh!"

Gu Yunyi collapsed onto the bed, and she even heard him groan.

"Yunyi, are you alright?" Xu Qingmeng was afraid that with the imperial examination approaching, she might accidentally hurt him again.

Gu Yunyi rubbed the back of his head and said with a smile, "It's nothing, I just hurt my butt."

Xu Qingmeng: "...Then why are you touching the back of your head when you fall on your butt? Can't you tell the difference between your head and your butt?"

"Qingqing, are you saying I'm stupid?"

Gu Yunyi lay on the bed, his eyes sparkling as he gazed at Xu Qingmeng, his gaze carrying a hint of tipsiness and an endless longing for her.

Looking at his silly appearance, Xu Qingmeng's heart softened. "No, you're just talking nonsense when you're drunk."

Xu Qingmeng reached out and tidied Gu Yunyi's messy hair, saying, "Alright, go to sleep. I'm going to wash up."

Gu Yunyi stretched out his hand and pulled the person back.

Xu Qingmeng felt dizzy and disoriented. She was standing one moment, and the next second, she was lying on the bed the next.

Suddenly, I felt some weight on my body, and then I saw Gu Yunyi's enlarged face.

Xu Qingmeng was stunned, and Gu Yunyi seemed to be stunned as well.

But the cool, soft touch on the lips was real.

Gu Yunyi only froze for a few seconds before letting his heart guide him and deepening the kiss. Xu Qingmeng's already stiff limbs gradually softened, and her hands unconsciously clung to his neck, tense, apprehensive, yet filled with longing.

Gu Yunyi's kiss was passionate and affectionate, his lips carrying the scent of wine, a scent that seemed to possess a magical power, making Xu Qingmeng intoxicated by this sudden intimacy.

"Miss."

Gu Yunyi's breathing became heavier, his voice low and full of emotion.

Xu Qingmeng's cheeks flushed red, like peach blossoms in full bloom in spring, delicate and beautiful.

Her eyes reflected Gu Yunyi's burning gaze, a gaze that seemed to ignite her heart.

The moonlight outside the window poured into the room like water, as if draping the two of them in a silver veil.

Both of them were novices, and soon they were panting heavily. Gu Yunyi released Xu Qingmeng's lips, but still held her tightly, their noses touching and their breaths mingling.

"Qingqing, let's be together for real, not just for the sake of having a child."

Xu Qingmeng didn't speak, but her mind was in turmoil.

Xu Qingmeng originally planned to stay in the Gu family for a while, and then leave with her unborn child once the Gu family's situation improved.

She never thought about spending her life with Gu Yunyi, even though he was the father of the two children in her womb.

And then...

Then, Xu Qingmeng discovered that the paper figures in the book seemed to be more than just characters; they were real, living people with emotions, flesh and blood.

Xu Qingmeng could not see herself as a mere spectator, nor could she apply the viewpoints in the book to the people around her.

Then, Xu Qingmeng discovered that Gu Yunyi was no longer as harsh as he had been at the beginning, and seemed to have developed different feelings for her.

Xu Qingmeng seemed to be getting more and more used to Gu Yunyi's presence, and the two of them were becoming more and more compatible. She would unconsciously care about him, and he would care about her at all times.

Furthermore, after Madam He learned of her pregnancy, Gu Yunyi became even more concerned about every aspect of her life.

Xu Qingmeng suddenly realized that if she talked about leaving now, she would feel somewhat unwilling; she didn't want to give him to someone else.

Xu Qingmeng sighed softly; it seemed she had fallen for him without even realizing it…

Gu Yunyi didn't say anything, he just looked at her quietly, and his mind seemed to clear up all at once.

Xu Qingmeng is still the same Xu Qingmeng. Even though she's lost weight and her personality has changed, he knows from that intimate response that just now that she still has feelings for him.

He could feel it clearly.

The moonlight flowed quietly into the room, like a silver stream, encircling the two people embracing each other.

Gu Yunyi gazed at Xu Qingmeng silently, his gaze seemingly able to penetrate her soul and explore the most hidden corners of her heart.

Xu Qingmeng's eyes sparkled, like the brightest star in the night sky falling into a deep blue lake.

"Qingqing, you don't need to answer me right away."

Gu Yunyi's voice was like a gentle breeze, softly blowing in the quiet night, "I know I have many faults in the past and have hurt you, but now, my heart is like a ship that has been adrift for a long time and has finally reached the shore, and I only want to dock in your harbor."

Gu Yunyi's fingers gently glide across Xu Qingmeng's cheek, the touch as delicate and tender as a feather brushing against a flower petal.

Thank you for your support, baby! I'll be adding an extra chapter tonight!
