Chapter 17: Jade Beads
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After washing her feet, Gu Xin poured water into the vegetable garden and told Gu Shouxin to go back to sleep.
There were three oil lamps in the Gu family, one in her parents’ room, one in her sister’s room, and one in the kitchen. Poor Gu Xin did not have one.
Under the blanket, Gu Xin felt very warm. She did not know if it was because she had added a blanket or because she had soaked her feet.
Either way, her father had given it to her.
She had not forgotten the jade bead that Little Fish had spat out. Now that she was under the blanket, she was not afraid that soone would suddenly appear.
Gu Xin was lying on her stomach, one hand resting on her chin and the other in front of her head. She said softly, “Little Fish, Little Fish, you spat out a jade bead just now, right? If so, spit out another one for to see!”
Although she could not see clearly, she could feel that there was really another jade bead in her hand.
She held her hand and pinched it with her thumb and forefinger. It was very soft and elastic.
So she was not mistaken just now! She just did not know what this jade bead was used for.
Gu Xin lay on her stomach and let her imagination run wild. She fell asleep in no ti.
It had been a tiring day. Plus, she had soaked her feet in the quilt tonight. Now that it was warm, Gu Xin fell asleep faster than before.
She was lying on her stomach, so she did not know that after falling asleep for a while, the corner of her mouth touched the jade bead. Then, the jade bead touched the saliva on the corner of her mouth and slowly lted.
Gu Xin dread of delicious food and could not help but take a sip. She had absorbed more than half of the lted jade bead.
At this mont, Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian were still awake.
Although they were under the sa blanket, there was a fist’s distance between them. They did not move, afraid that they would bump into each other if they moved.
After a long ti, the two finally could not help but talk.
“I...”
“You...”
They spoke at the sa ti and then shut up at the sa ti.
“You...”
“I...”
They opened their mouths at the sa ti and shut them at the sa ti.
Gu Shouxin felt a little awkward. In his previous life, he had interacted with the Empress and the nanny in the palace the most, but he had never been so close to anyone.
Cai Xiaolian laughed at this scene. “Pfft!”
After Cai Xiaolian finished laughing, she asked, “Let’s not hide it from each other. We’re not the sa people. Tell , where did you co from?”
Gu Shouxin raised his eyebrows. ‘Oh, she is actually trying to get information out of ?’
Cai Xiaolian saw that Gu Shouxin did not answer, she continued, “Don’t say that you don’t understand what I’m saying. I don’t believe that the Gu Shouxin in the past was like this. The Gu Shouxin in the past only loved himself and would not even spare a second glance at his wife and daughter. I don’t believe that a person can change so much in just three days. If you don’t want to talk about it, then I won’t talk about it either. In any case, we’re all the sa. At most, we’ll just part ways. I don’t mind.”
Gu Shouxin was silent for a while before saying, “Let’s not ask about the past. Let’s live a good life together in the future. Are you willing? If you’re not willing, I won’t force you. Child, I’ll bring them up myself. I’ll let you go.”
Cai Xiaolian frowned. ‘Whoa, he’s trying to trick !’
Although Cai Xiaolian didn’t want to stay here, where could she go if she left?
This Great Zhou Dynasty was more lenient toward won, allowing them to remarry after leaving. However, all n were the sa. She couldn’t jump into that pit.
She had just arrived. If she really wanted to leave, she could either go back to her parents’ house or go far away.
