Clouds and Moon Shadow

Gu Qingyue glared at the cheerful man walking ahead of her. She wanted to pull her hand away, but couldn't; she wanted to scold him, but couldn't say anything.

She could only sigh inwardly at her own incompetence, wondering if this was a case of one thing subduing another.

Wait, did I accept him so quickly?

Thinking back to all the men who pursued her in her past life, she never took a liking to any of them. She was always aloof and disdainful, and her rejections of men were always decisive and clear. She had never experienced a situation where she wanted to refuse them verbally but did not truly want to refuse them in her heart.

She felt that her habit of saying one thing and meaning another was getting worse, and that she was quite ill with it.

Gu Qingyue was taken back to the study by Mu Yun Chu and pressed down into a chair. The man just quietly bent over and looked at her.

A powerful sense of oppression swept over her, making Gu Qingyue shudder. Her heart pounded wildly, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

"What's wrong?" Gu Qingyue forced herself to suppress the agitation in her heart and subconsciously raised her hand to touch her face.

Is there something on her face? Otherwise, Mu Yun Chu wouldn't be staring at her like that.

"Heh------ It's nothing, just wanted to see you," Mu Yun Chu lowered his voice, leaning close to her ear, his warm breath brushing against her ear, and Gu Qing Yue immediately stiffened and dared not move.

She swore she wanted to move, but her body wouldn't cooperate.

When she felt the man's hand gently caress her earlobe, she knew it must be bright red.

This guy! He's such a smooth talker?!

"Don't be afraid, tell me, what did you need?" Mu Yun Chu saw that the girl's ears had turned red with shyness, so she stopped teasing her and asked gently with a smile.

He turned around and sat down in the chair next to Gu Qingyue, holding her hand tightly.

Gu Qingyue immediately sat up straight and pushed the man's body away. He was too close, and the oppressive feeling was too strong. She took a breath.

"If anything happens, let me check your injury first."

"Okay," Mu Yun Chu agreed readily.

After taking his pulse and feeling his ribs, Gu Qingyue expressed satisfaction, saying that he was recovering well.

She stood up and put the pulse pillow back in the medicine box. She then took out the bottle and the letter from her storage space. Under the guise of tidying up the medicine box, she first took out the letter and gave it to the man next to her.

She knew this should be good news for him.

Mu Yun Chu suspiciously took the envelope Gu Qing Yue gave him. The envelope had obviously been opened, and he deftly pulled out the letter and began to read it.

Before he had finished reading, he suddenly stood up.

When he turned to look at Gu Qingyue, she silently handed him a porcelain bottle.

Mu Yun Chu gently put down the letter and bottle, then pulled Gu Qing Yue into her arms and hugged her tightly. "Thank you, Yue, you've been a great help."

Gu Qingyue felt that she was in a state of mental detachment again.

A moment later, she gently raised her hand and patted Mu Yun Chu's back, indicating that he could let go.

But after waiting for a long time, he hugged her tighter and tighter, and the pleasant scent of cold bamboo kept wafting towards her nose.

Her waist felt like it was about to break. Gu Qingyue struggled for a moment, but couldn't move. She didn't know what to say. She just felt her heart pounding in her chest.

"Mu Yun Chu," Gu Qing Yue called out after a cup of tea.

Realizing something, Mu Yun Chu released the girl, her gaze fixed on her bright, star-like eyes. She stroked her face with tenderness and affection, "Thank you, Yue. Where did you get this?"

He knew that it wouldn't be easy for Gu Qingyue to get something so important.

She must have been in danger!

Thinking of this, his heart, which had just been filled with joy, felt a slight pang of pain. How could he not like such a woman?

“Oh, coincidence, it’s all a coincidence,” Gu Qingyue then skillfully recounted the events leading up to her attack on Black Wind Stronghold.

She also recounted how she killed the Jade-Faced Prince and the Fox Girl.

Of course, they concealed the circumstances under which the killing took place; it was too shocking!

She was too embarrassed to talk about the situation in front of Mu Yun Chu at the time.

By the way, I found this box by accident.

Finally, she was also kept in the dark about robbing the Black Wind Stronghold's warehouse. The key issue was that it involved space, so it was best to keep it a secret for now.

After hearing this, Mu Yun Chu felt a hint of pride mixed with worry; she always gave him unexpected surprises.

She broke Pan Xiangye's arm and got this incredible treasure; she truly deserves the woman he set his sights on!

"And... never mind," Gu Qingyue knew he would definitely go to Zhao Yushan and Gu Yuanming to talk about this right away. She thought that the bottle was of great importance and it would be safer to keep it in her own space, but after saying it, she felt it was inappropriate.

"A-Yue?" Mu Yun Chu asked, puzzled by her hesitation.

"It's nothing, you can go now, I'm leaving too," Gu Qingyue paused, picked up her medicine box, and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute," Mu Yun Chu said, stuffing something into her hand.

Gu Qingyue looked down and saw that the bottle she had given her earlier had been returned by Mu Yun Chu.

"You should keep this," Mu Yun Chu said. She didn't intend to show this to anyone else. It was safest with Gu Qing Yue, and no one would expect such an important thing to be in the hands of a doctor.

"Don't tell anyone you have this," Mu Yun Chu said firmly.

Of course, he also had his own selfish motives; this was something Gu Qingyue had acquired herself, so it rightfully belonged to her.

Gu Qingyue held the bottle in her hand, her feelings a complex mix.

She felt the warmth of being trusted and cared for, and the comfort of being treated with respect. It was hard for her to explain her feelings, but she knew that at this moment, their hearts were connected, and that was enough.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll keep it here. Nobody can find it," Gu Qingyue gave him a reassuring look.

Upon hearing this, Mu Yun Chu's smile became even more tender and doting.

The two went out together, and when they reached the courtyard gate, Mu Yun Chu couldn't help but hug her again, saying, "Be a good girl and stay here and rest."

Gu Qingyue nodded, watching his tall and slender figure disappear into the distance at the end of the corridor.

Back in her room, Gu Qingyue thought of something, quickly wrote a note, and whistled towards the window.

A short while later, a small gyrfalcon landed on the windowsill.

"Give it to Yue Ling," he said, then tied the note to its leg.

"Hurry up!" Seeing it staring blankly at her without moving, Gu Qingyue looked at it a few more times, puzzled. "Fly quickly!" Gu Qingyue couldn't help but say.

To everyone's surprise, it tilted its head and sat down on the windowsill, opened its pointed beak, and then looked at Gu Qingyue with an adorable tilt of its head, but still didn't move.

Gu Qingyue: ......

This is the guy Liu Feng once called a troublemaker?!

Gu Qingyue rubbed her forehead.

What's Ling doing this month? Hasn't it even taught it how to deliver messages yet?

Gu Qingyue was about to teach this cute little thing a lesson when, unexpectedly, it flew into the house, jumped onto the table, and pecked at the snacks on the table with its sharp beak.

Gu Qingyue: ......

I see, they only deliver messages if they want food, ha! They've become sentient!

Gu Qingyue took out a roasted chicken leg from her spatial storage and tossed it to the creature. It wasn't convenient to go to the kitchen to get raw meat for it, so she had to make do with this.
