Marrying Gold and Jade

Lin Yu still felt uncomfortable, rubbing her legs uncomfortably under her bathrobe, and said, "I want to go back and take a bath again."

Xu Jinxuan had just thrown the towel back into the basin, but upon hearing this, he twisted it up again and walked towards the bed again.

Lin Yu was so scared that she quickly pulled her clothes tighter.

In response, the man sneered and said, "Just wipe it off."

Seeing that she was still staring at him, he began to want to tease her again.

"Do you want to do it yourself, or should I help you?"

Lin Yu almost snatched the handkerchief from his hand.

Then he felt embarrassed because his bathrobe was dirty and his pajamas were not brought yet.

Fortunately, Xu Jinxuan really let her go. He let down the bed curtain and just said, "I'll get your clothes for you."

Although he still couldn't understand why she cried so pitifully and accused him of "bullying" her when he clearly didn't hurt her or even feel any pain.

She had never seen herself bullying anyone.

There has never been a person who has been bullied by himself who can accuse himself so righteously.

The second half of the night was relatively uneventful.

In early winter, dead leaves flutter on both sides of the river, and the river water pushes the boat forward slowly.

The next day, Lin Yu woke up and saw the wooden box containing the silver chain still beside the bed. All the not-so-good memories of last night came back to him.

Xu Jinxuan, he seems to really like his body.

And they treat everyone equally, there is not much difference between hair and chest.

Even though he got up late, he still forced Lin Yu to get up later so that he could comb her hair.

She doesn't care about trivial matters and lies obediently on the side of the bed with her eyes wide open.

Lin Yu thought that what happened last night was just the first time. Xu Jinxuan might allow her to refuse once or twice, but sooner or later he would be dissatisfied.

What should I do then? Who on this ship would be willing to help me?

The presence of the love Gu seemed to be very weak these days. When I behaved intimately with him, the struggle in my heart did not seem to be that strong.

She found that she was slowly getting used to it, and even the pain from those initial stabs in her body had faded a lot.

She might really fall in love with Xu Jinxuan.

Lin Yu immediately shook his head.

Just thinking about it makes me feel weak.

No, I can’t blame myself for being weak. The love poison must be affecting me as well.

Yes, it’s his fault, it’s all his fault.

When Xu Jinxuan opened his eyes sleepily, he saw her staring at him intently, her beautiful features filled with...

resentment?

He didn't think much about it for a moment, and just sat up and said, "Do you still hate me?"

He naturally thought that she was holding a grudge because of what happened last night.

Lin Yu wasn't thinking about those things, and responded "No" in a panic.

Xu Jinxuan glanced at her, then suddenly reached out his hand and held her head tightly, making sure she could not avoid his scrutiny.

"what you do……"

Lin Yu was always outmatched in strength, but he felt that he had not yet washed and combed his hair, and his appearance was messy, so he could only avoid looking at her like covering his ears and stealing the bell.

But Xu Jinxuan refused and averted his gaze, then pinched her jaw to turn her face away until she had to see him.

“Has anyone ever told you that your eyes tell the truth?”

Just as she was feeling guilty at the moment, even though she lowered her eyes deliberately, her eyelashes still blinked faster than usual.

The eyelashes on one side are so thick and long that it is hard to ignore them.

Xu Jinxuan pinched her cheek and said before letting go: "Have a grudge if you want, I'm not afraid of you hating me."

He has raised many snakes, some of which were violent and difficult to tame; but the more violent they were, the greater the sense of accomplishment he felt after taming them.

Lin Yu is different from those snakes. He expects her to be obedient and dependent, but he also feels that the process is far more enjoyable than the result.

Hate him if you want, she is cute even when she hates people.

Lin Yu naturally couldn't guess what he was thinking, so she pushed his hand away and sat up from the shadow of his body.

She didn’t want to discuss hatred with anyone, she just said, “I’m hungry.”

She used to have regular meals, but Xu Jinxuan got up too late and asked her to accompany him every time, so naturally she would be hungry.

Xu Jinxuan never treated her badly in food, and upon hearing this, he turned over, got off the bed and put on his boots, saying, "Then serve the meal."

She dressed up after dinner, and it was the man who combed her hair.

Lin Yu looked at herself in the mirror, her hair covered with gold and jade hairpins. She looked left and right, but still felt uncomfortable.

The jewelry was picked by Xu Jinxuan yesterday, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

To be fair, he admitted that it was not as good as her high-quality jade hairpin, but the materials and workmanship of this set were also excellent.

Lin Yu said truthfully: "Is it too solemn?"

Most unmarried girls of her age like fancy jewelry, and only older ladies like such formal headwear.

Xu Jinxuan said, "It's different in the palace. They won't wear anything without some gold."

Gold ornaments symbolize noble status. Lin Yu knew that the "they" he was referring to must be the women of the royal family.

"But..." Xu Jinxuan changed the subject, "If you don't like it, it doesn't matter if you wear something else."

It was still many days before arriving in Kyoto, but Lin Yu was already nervous in advance.

Hearing this, I was worried: "Everyone else is wearing it, but I'm the only one who doesn't wear it. Isn't it embarrassing?"

Because of her beauty, she had attracted attention from people around her since she was a child. Every time she wore hairpins, rings, or earrings, people would talk about it. Sometimes when the ladies gathered together, Lin Yu would find that someone was wearing jewelry of a similar style to the one she wore last time.

She was well aware of the competitive spirit among girls from different families, and when she thought about how she knew nothing about the customs in Kyoto, she felt a little at a loss.

Xu Jinxuan then looked at her seriously and wanted to say "Why do you care what other people do", but the words took a detour when they came to his lips.

In the end, it became: "You look like this, and whatever you wear will be different. Are you afraid that someone will look down on you?"

Lin Yu came back to her senses from her worries, and after a little reaction she realized that he was praising herself.

He was never stingy when it came to praising her beauty.

Although the comfort given by a man was not credible, Lin Yu looked at herself in the mirror again and did not think about it any more.

Xu Jinxuan suddenly threw a book onto the table.

"have a look."

Lin Yu thought it was something else, but when he looked closely, he found it was a picture album.

The intertwining posture of a man and a woman on the cover of the book was so unbearable to look at that the title of the book was even added: Thirty-six Imperial Concubines.

"you you you you……"

Lin Yu almost jumped up from her chair, pointing at the man in front of her, her tongue tied with fear.

In the end, the person opposite her remained calm, but she herself turned red and shouted, "You really have no sense of shame!"

What kind of filthy banned book is that? It’s not enough for him to read it himself, he even wants to read it to himself!

And it was thrown in front of her in broad daylight!

Lin Yu wanted to throw the book on the ground, but as soon as he touched it, he felt that he was dirty. He felt ashamed and annoyed and just wanted to run away.

Naturally, he was stopped by Xu Jinxuan.

He was dragged back to his original position by the collar in an undignified manner. The man's voice was heard above his head: "Why are you running?"
