Chapter 33: , puppy
Si Xianchun was very nervous at first, but Liu Bingyuan was extremely easy to get along with, and in addition to begging for Gu Miru, his attitude towards Si Xianchun was particularly good.
When he started to learn something from Liu Bingyuan, Si Xianchun relaxed, Gu Miru stayed by Si Xianchun's side, chatting with Liu Bingyuan one after another.
Gu Miru stayed until noon and went back. This was the first time for Si Xianchun to be alone outside.
If it was normal, Gu Miru would definitely be reluctant to let a person like Si Xianchun be outside until the two hadn't broken through the hazy feelings. Maybe she would spend the whole day with him until it was dark.
But since she decided to sort out her feelings, Gu Miru would never give Si Xianchun any hope.
In the evening, when it was time to pick up Si Xianchun, Gu Miru didn't go, Zhang Qian brought Si Xianchun back, and Gu Miru waited for Si Xianchun to have dinner.
During dinner, Gu Miru did not take the initiative to ask about the day, nor how Si Xianchun and Liu Bingyuan got along after she left.
Gu Miru was actually waiting for Si Xianchun to tell her that if Si Xianchun said it, Gu Miru would definitely be a good listener.
But Si Xianchun just raised his head and glanced at Gu Miru a few times between meals. His eyes were full of words, but in the end he didn't say a word.
Gu Miru didn't like him saying she liked it, she didn't like him touching, and she didn't like him getting close.
That Si Xianchun didn't say not to touch, just looked at her like this.
The atmosphere between the two became a little gloomy, which was reflected in Gu Miru. Before, Gu Miru was always concerned about Si Xianchun's daily life and his mental health.
But now she is afraid of Si Xianchun's misunderstanding when she says a word more, and is afraid that Si Xianchun will have some delusions.
Therefore, the two of them were silent when they were eating, and after eating, they went back to their own rooms and stayed there without saying a word.
For the next period of time, the two of them got along in this way, like a pair of most familiar strangers.
In addition to carving some hairpins, Si Xianchun would give Gu Miru a few words to say, and he would not take the initiative to talk to Gu Miru during the rest of the time.
He is really very obedient, if Gu Mi doesn't like him, he will not go up at all.
Only occasionally when Gu Miru turned her head, such as when she was taking a car to see Si Xianchun in the morning, Gu Miru felt that it was too boring, and when she opened the carriage window and looked out, Si Xianchun would focus on Gu Miru. face.
There was no sadness or resentment in his eyes, just a calm light blue like the sea.
He didn't show resentment or sadness because Gu Miru didn't respond to him, or because Gu Miru was perfunctory to him.
But his calmness made it hard for Gu Miru to calm down.
Gu Miru could feel Si Xianchun's forbearance, his eager eyes, and the feeling that he wanted to share his joy with herself.
But the two of them are only silent now, except for the sound of the bowls and chopsticks colliding when eating together, there is no eye contact between the two.
The system groaned in Gu Miru's head all day long, and it also thought that Si Xianchun would stalk and pretend to be pitiful.
If that's the case, Gu Miru knows how to deal with it, even the system knows how to deal with it, because Gu Miru has dealt with too many people like this in so many worlds.
But Si Xianchun didn't go that way, just quietly and silently, no matter what Gu Miru gave him, he accepted it dearly.
Including apathy and alienation.
On the morning of the eighth day, Gu Miru was about to get on the carriage to send Si Xianchun off. Si Xianchun said behind Gu Miru, "I'm not afraid anymore."
"Master Liu is very nice, I can go by myself."
Si Xianchun was actually very reluctant to Gu Miru, reluctant to spend the short time with him every morning.
He wanted to stay with Gu Miru quietly even if he didn't speak.
But Si Xianchun was afraid that Gu Miru would be delayed for a long time, and Xu Lancui was not satisfied.
In the morning, the busiest time of the shop, Si Xianchun didn't want Gu Miru to cause any trouble or be unhappy because of herself.
He has heard Gu Miru sigh in the past two days...it's too frequent.
Si Xianchun hoped that Gu Mi would smile like before, instead of always sighing unhappily like now.
If Si Xianchun knew... If he had known that he didn't control his emotions and behavior, it would have resulted in such a result for the two of them. Si Xianchun would never express his love for Gu Miru in his life.
But now that things have happened, Si Xianchun can only try his best to make up for it.
Gu Miru sighed when she saw him, and Si Xianchun tried to reduce her presence as much as possible.
Every day when I came home from the carpenter's shop, I buried myself in my house, among the piles of wood.
He doesn't make any sound, making hairpins faster and better. His money bag is already full, and it will make a rattling sound every time someone comes in by hanging it at the door.
They agreed to go to the restaurant together when the bags were full.
But Si Xianchun didn't dare to mention that Gu Miru would be unhappy when she saw him.
So Si Xianchun summoned the courage to mention it this morning, so that Gu Miru would not have to send him off in the future.
Gu Miru was stunned next to the carriage with her back to Si Xianchun, her brows furrowed quickly, and she quickly recovered.
She turned her head and glanced at Si Xianchun. This was the first time the two looked at each other like this in so many days.
Si Xianchun was a little excited for a while, and his eyes turned red when he was excited. No matter how he could restrain himself, he couldn't hide the emotions in his eyes.
He was a blank piece of paper in front of Gu Miru's eyes.
The efforts he made... the actions that Gu Miru didn't hate, the expressions that carefully concealed happiness and unhappiness, Gu Miru saw them all.
At this moment, she can see happiness in Si Xianchun's eyes. The joy that cannot be hidden is like the turbulent waves under the deep sea. It did not stand out from the calm sea, but stirred up a whirlpool in the sea - just because she glanced at him. .
Gu Miru's emotions, which had been cleaned up these days, were easily carried away by this vortex, and sea creatures were dizzy in it.
Gu Miru quickly looked away, and in the end still praised: "You adapt very quickly, this is a very good start."
"I won't send you off in the morning, so get along well with Master Liu."
After Gu Miru finished speaking, she quickly left the carriage.
Si Xianchun's eyes kept watching her figure enter the store, and then he retracted his gaze and got on the carriage.
Because Gu Miru glanced at him and said a word of encouragement to him, he was happy for several days.
When he was happy, when he looked at Gu Miru, his eyes were clear and bright. This clearness was like a high-temperature white flame, which could burn people more than normal fire.
But the communication between the two is still less and less, and in the end there are only three meals a day, which are eaten together. The rest of the time we don't see each other at all.
Si Xianchun's body was also getting better and better, and he didn't give up because of the change with Gu Miru. In addition to learning to make various things every day, he also finds time to exercise walking and even running.
He had seen Gu Miru practicing martial arts in the backyard with a piece of wood, so he quietly carved a long wooden knife for Gu Miru.
In two days, there was another long sword next to the long sword.
Then there are sticks, long wooden spears, and even wooden mace.
Gu Miru was just silent every time, staring at the things that were placed on the wooden shelf in sequence for a while, then picked up a new weapon and played a set of moves that Si Xianchun had never seen before.
Gu Miru originally wanted to find a martial arts master to teach her a few days symbolically, and then show off her martial arts.
But it doesn't seem to be necessary now. She never said where she came from and why she suddenly appeared and replaced her original role.
But Si Xianchun never asked. He used his own attitude and behavior to tell Gu Miru every moment that he didn't care.
All he cares about is Gu Miru herself.
More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye. Gu Miru cooks regularly every day, and Gu Dian also practices martial arts.
Si Xianchun got up to eat every morning, took a carriage to learn carpentry, went home for dinner, and then locked himself in the house to carve things.
Gu Miru has filled the doors on both sides of the store with various hairpins. The sales are indeed very good, and four purses have been filled.
The money bags were very eye-catching at the door, so Gu Miru put them away and kept them separate from the account book in the store.
The relationship between the two is completely different from the fiery hairpin sales. They seem to be frozen, as if time stopped at a certain period and never moved again.
The eighth day of April is the time for temple fairs in this world.
Every year at this time of the year, unmarried girls will go to the temple to seek marriage, and married young women will also go to the temple to seek blessings.
This time is the right time for the women in the deep house to go out. Si Jingrou, who is about to get married, had no chance to come out, but even the eldest lady at the temple fair had no reason to stop her.
So Si Jingrou sneaked over while taking the servants at the temple fair.
In ten days, she is going to marry Prince Ning. During this time, Si Jingrou has already contacted the two servants at home who are loyal to her mother, and planned the wedding day.
However, when Si Jingrou did this kind of big thing alone, he definitely needs to find someone to talk about it, discuss it, and see if there are any omissions before he can be completely relieved.
The arrival of Si Jingrou allowed Si Xianchun and Gu Miru to passively break the deadlocked relationship.
When Si Xianchun came back from the carpenter's shop, he saw his sister coming. The first feeling was panic. If Si Jingrou knew about his current relationship with Gu Miru, Si Jingrou would definitely be very worried.
She would definitely say, "I'll just say it when you see it, you and Gu Miru can't be a real husband and wife, she just wants your freshness!"
Si Xianchun didn't want Si Jingrou to say that about Gu Miru, let alone tell Si Jingrou that Gu Miru was not that Gu Miru.
So he was flustered and scared, but when he saw Gu Miru's long-lost smile, Si Xianchun's heart dropped.
Although Gu Miru rejected his liking, and even though she was angry with him, she didn't even talk to him very much, but Gu Miru still remembered that she would act intimacy with him in front of Si Jingrou.
"Brother, you're back! I heard from my sister-in-law that you've been studying with a carpenter recently, which is really nice!"
Although the person Si Jingrou wants to marry is not a wishful husband, but she is a born fool and does not know how to worry about tomorrow.
If it weren't for such a character, there would be no way to impress Prince Ning, who was full of dark hearts after being reprimanded by his father because of a sudden disaster.
So Si Jingrou heartlessly didn't see any difference between Si Xianchun and Gu Miru.
She saw that Si Xianchun was a hundred times more energetic than before, and was able to walk independently. She also learned from his favorite carpenter, and her attitude towards Gu Miru was getting better and better.
Kindly called Gu Miru sister-in-law, holding Gu Miru's arm and chatting like a little bird.
The gloomy atmosphere in the house was swept away, and Si Jingrou was quite noisy during dinner.
Although Si Xianchun and Gu Miru were disguising in front of Si Jingrou, it seemed so natural for them to regain their intimacy.
As if they never had any cracks.
After eating, Si Jingrou made an excuse to stay here because it was too late outside.
In fact, she didn't want to go home. It was really boring and uneasy to stay at home. Only by staying with Si Xianchun and Gu Miru could Si Jingrou be able to relax.
She only considers these two family members.
Gu Miru wanted to say that I asked the family carriage to take you there, but in the end, seeing how happy Si Xianchun was, she didn't want to say it.
As a result, when she went to bed at night, Gu Miru began to worry again.
Because Si Jingrou wants to stay at their house. One person has to occupy a bed, so Gu Miru can't let Si Jingrou sleep with her brother, can she?
Si Jingrou couldn't be allowed to go to the backyard to sleep with her servant Cui Lian. There were only two rooms in the main courtyard, and they were still connected together.
So it can only be Gu Miru and Si Xianchun sleeping together, after all, the two are still pretending to be close in front of Si Jingrou.
And Gu Miru didn't want to expose this matter, because even if she didn't plan to continue developing with Si Xianchun, she still chose to take the path of illness and death.
Then there is no need for Si Jingrou to worry about her brother, because Gu Miru will die at the right time.
In this way, Si Xianchun can justifiably return to being single, inherit this pork shop, and it will be easier to find a wife in the future.
Therefore, Gu Miru took Si Xianchun's hairpin to the side at night when Si Jingrou was choosing the hairpin carved by Si Xianchun, and said to him, "Bring the quilt over later, and sleep with me tonight."
Si Xianchun looked at Gu Miru with gratitude in his eyes.
However, Gu Miru quickly turned her eyes away. She didn't want to understand Si Xianchun at all, but Si Xianchun was too good to understand.
A little bit is good, he can always magnify many times.
In the evening, Si Jingrou lived in Si Xianchun's house, and Gu Miru brought her a new quilt.
Before taking a break, Si Jingrou told Gu Miru the plan that Gu Miru taught her again.
After listening to it, Gu Miru didn't miss anything, she nodded and said, "Okay, just do it like this, the Si family will definitely make up a large dowry for you."
Si Jingrou's happy eyes sparkled, and she was as stupid as his brother. She didn't know that entering Prince Ning's mansion was the beginning of the wolf's den.
Gu Miru didn't want to take care of this kind of thing at first, but Si Xianchun couldn't give up his sister. For the sake of Si Xianchun, Gu Miru also had to take care of it.
So Gu Miru explained to Si Jingrou softly: "When you get married, your brother and I will go to watch the ceremony, but we may not be in Prince Ning's mansion, we will watch you get married on the way."
"Your brother doesn't plan to enter the palace because he is afraid of causing trouble for you, do you understand?"
After hearing this, Si Jingrou's eyes were red, and she nodded vigorously and drilled into Gu Miru's arms.
Gu Miru reluctantly dug her head out, there is nothing wrong with this brother and sister, they like to depend on others so much.
Gu Miru frowned slightly and said, "I still want to remind you that after you marry Prince Ning, your life will start to get tough."
"If you listen to me, you might be better off."
"I listened, I listened," Si Jingrou said, "sister-in-law, what should I do?"
"I heard that Prince Ning has an uncertain personality. Do I need to please him? But I don't know how to please him. Do I want to take care of him like a maid?"
Si Jingrou in the original book really took this path, but Prince Ning always felt that Si Jingrou had a different mind because of the sudden change in his heart.
Embarrassing her with all kinds of problems, deliberately putting her into all kinds of dangerous situations and trying to test her, making Si Jingrou very painful.
Let Si Jingrou sink into **** with him. In the end, Prince Ning finally found an opportunity to fight back, and he finally believed in Si Jingrou who had prevented him from countless life and death disasters.
This is a story of redemption on the surface, but it is really a sad story.
So Gu Miru said, "Why do you want to please him? Don't pay attention to him. He suffered a misfortune and was completely ruined. It must be extremely difficult to deal with. You go up to find fault for yourself, do you know?"
"Don't pay attention to him, don't lean in front of him, even if he falls in front of you, you have to go around."
"Ah? But he's my husband, I don't want to rely on him in the future..."
"You can rely on your brother in the future."
Gu Miru said: "He is a prince and a businesswoman, and sooner or later he will divorce you. In the future, relying on your brother, your brother will get better and better."
"If you really can't, just make up with him, and don't try to have **** with him is the best."
"Keep your dowry and be ready to remarry at any time."
Si Jingrou's ears blushed when she heard the words, but she nodded vigorously and said, "I see! I will definitely not care about him!"
At this time, the system sighed in Gu Miru's head: [Ancestor, why are you interfering with the main plot again...]
Gu Miru replied: [I just talked, I didn't intervene, what can I do if the heroine doesn't obey? 】
This is a loophole in the drilling system. The system was drilled out of temper.
After Gu Miru explained Si Jingrou, she was about to leave when Si Jingrou grabbed her sleeve.
Si Jingrou's ears were red, and she glanced in the direction of Gu Miru's house, then took out a little man from the cuff and stuffed it in Gu Miru's hand.
He smiled and said, "My brother's sculptors are all good-looking, but this is the best looking one I've ever seen."
"This is also the first time I've seen him sculpt someone other than me and my mother. Look, this is your sister-in-law."
Si Jingrou said: "My brother's temperament is a little dull, but he has always believed that something will never change since he was a child."
"When he was a child, he liked to carve around with a carving knife, and was caught by his father and beaten. At a young age, he was beaten with blood on the back of the rattan, but the carving knife in his hand never loosened. Pass."
Gu Miru glanced at the villain... As if she had been punched in her heart, the dull and painful feeling began to spread.
It was indeed her.
But the style of this dress was clearly worn by Si Xianchun's mother.
So Si Xianchun changed it later. When did he change it?
It was after two people... had a problem.
What kind of mood is he holding by himself, hiding in the room to carve her?
Gu Miru's expression looked a little too serious, and Si Jingrou pushed her again and said, "Brother hid this and put it under a bunch of hairpins, and I found it."
"It's probably a gift I want to give you. Sister-in-law, you can read it and put it back. When he wants to give it to you, he will definitely give it to you."
There will be no chance to send.
Gu Miru nodded, and those moving expressions quickly dissipated in her heart.
With a light expression, she took the little man and pressed it back under the pile of hairpins.
Gu Miru didn't plan to ask Si Xianchun at all. She rejected Si Xianchun, so there was no need to get involved in this kind of thing.
When Gu Miru returned to her room, Si Xianchun had already washed up and rolled herself into a roll and rolled into the bed.
Gu Miru breathed a sigh of relief when the two of them slept together in this posture before, she was now a little afraid to face Si Xianchun's gaze.
Those eyes are too pure, Si Xianchun's feelings are like a handful of clear water.
It's crystal clear and can't hide anything.
Gu Miru washed and took off her shoes and clothes and went to sleep. Si Xianchun's breathing was even, but Gu Miru knew that he hadn't fallen asleep at all.
The two were lying on the same bed, but they had different dreams in the same bed.
Gu Miru didn't know when she fell asleep, but she fell asleep after lying on the bed for a long time and her back was already stiff.
As a result, not long after I fell asleep, I suddenly felt someone above me.
Gu Miru was suppressed in this world, but her five senses were still very keen, and she immediately opened her eyes from the state of light sleep when she noticed the difference.
Under the dim light, Gu Miru grabbed the person on her body, then rolled over and pressed the person onto the bed, with her arms across the person's neck - it only took less than a breath.
Si Xianchun's exclamation was caught in his throat, and he stared at Gu Miru with wide eyes.
Gu Miru frowned after seeing that it was him, lowered her voice and asked him, "What do you want to do without sleeping in the middle of the night?!"
Gu Miru's voice was aggressive, she thought Si Xianchun wanted to attack her at night.
Si Xianchun opened his mouth but couldn't speak, reached out and knocked on Gu Miru's arm, which was stuck to him.
Gu Miru then released him, Si Xianchun took two deep breaths, coughed twice, then looked at Gu Miru who was pressing on him, and said with a pink face, "I'm sorry..."
Gu Miru's brows furrowed deeper, did she really make her guess right?
As a result, Si Xianchun said again: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I want to get up and go for convenience, the soup in the evening is delicious, I drank a little too much..."
"I didn't know it would wake you up, I didn't touch you, I already stepped on the ground..."
Then she was grabbed by Gu Miru and turned over on the bed.
Gu Miru put her arm on his head, watched Si Xianchun loose her white hair, moved her lips, and was suddenly speechless.
How could Si Xianchun dare to attack her at night? His eyes... There was never anything filthy in them.
Gu Miru could have stood up immediately, but she was lost in this light blue, intertwined with Si Xianchun's breath at close range.
Something is fermenting silently between the two of them. Si Xianchun doesn't understand love, but he has almost recovered, from that state of physical deficit to a normal man.
He was only nineteen years old, as young as a ripe fruit.
The girl he likes is so close to him, this is the first time that the two have been so close after breaking through the haze, and sticking together so seamlessly. His body responded with joy out of his control.
Gu Miru was stunned for a moment, then her brows twitched uncontrollably, and her ears became uncontrollably hot.
Si Xianchun stared straight at Gu Miru, his whole body turned pink, he looked like a sea monster swimming to the shallow sea, and looked at the humans who saw him beside the ship.
His long hair was scattered in the water like seaweed, and the water swayed in his eyes. He opened his mouth and spit out a bunch of bubbles.
He said, "I'm sorry...I...I don't know how I..."
For the first time, he met lust, but he was not under his control at all.
