Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 196 The feeling of heartbeat

The two stood silently facing each other at the entrance of the Gu residence.

Of course, what they conveyed more in their eyes was worry and comfort.

"It's getting late, go back and rest."

Seeing that Mu Yun Chu hadn't spoken for a long time, Gu Qing Yue could only urge him to go back quickly.

After all, we need to set off back to the Lizhou camp early tomorrow morning.

Although she was also very reluctant and worried.

"Okay, take care of yourself," Mu Yun Chu said, raising her hand to stroke Gu Qing Yue's cheek.

He touched her lightly, then withdrew his hand, and naturally pulled the heavy cloak around Gu Qingyue's neck.

This scene did not escape Mu Nan's eyes from in front of the carriage.

He tried to widen his eyes, pretending to be completely indifferent.

Gu Qingyue's face flushed red.

This guy is becoming increasingly unable to control himself in front of others!

"Take care, you too," Gu Qingyue said, then turned and went back to the Gu residence with slightly unsteady steps.

Mu Yun Chu stood still, her eyes deep and dark, remaining motionless for a long time.

Back in her room, she had just finished washing up when Rong Qingqing appeared in the courtyard like a ghost.

"Oh dear, our Pavilion Master is back," Rong Qingqing said in a low voice, quietly approaching Gu Qingyue.

After washing up, Gu Qingyue was standing under the eaves, gazing at the moon in a daze.

She wore a thick cloak, and the winter wind stung her face, but she remained motionless, feeling a constant sense of unease in her heart.

"Sister Rong," Gu Qingyue heard the voice and turned around.

"Are you alright?" Rong Qingqing put away the teasing smile on her face.

"Hmm, it's alright," Gu Qingyue said, lowering her head to hide the worry on her face.

"What are you thinking about so intently? You even came out to the yard to think about it? Aren't you cold?"

"It's nothing, I just feel uneasy. Thanks to you for everything here, you've worked so hard." Thinking about how Rong Qingqing had been running back and forth between the Gu residence and Wenxiang Tower for most of the matters, she was indeed very tired.

Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing patted Gu Qingyue on the shoulder.

He wanted to ask what happened when she was led away by that tall man today, and who he was, but seeing her worried face, he gave up the idea.

"Of course, you're the one who's actually the most tired," Rong Qingqing smiled.

This little one understands everything, which is good. She won't suffer any losses as long as she knows what's going on.

"I just stopped by for a bit, I'm going back now, I'm tired," she said, waving her hand as she walked out of the courtyard.

"Okay, take care, Sister Rong."

Watching Rong Qingqing walk quickly out of the courtyard and disappear into the night, Gu Qingyue tightened her cloak and went back into the house.

She quickly walked behind the screen, took out her breast wrap, changed into her undergarments, let her hair down, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

In any case, he had to meet with the officials of Nanzhao.

So, no matter what happens, I will support him.

If necessary, it is not impossible to send Moon Shadow Pavilion to secretly help.

Thinking about this made her feel a little relieved.

I just washed up and didn't change my appearance again; I'm just being myself now.

Gu Qingyue walked out of the inner room and sat down at the table. She took out a mirror from the drawer and carefully observed her eyebrows and eyes.

With willow-leaf eyebrows, phoenix eyes, a pert nose, pink lips, and skin as smooth and delicate as white jade, she looked every bit the part of a woman. She wanted to change back into women's clothing.

Remembering that Rong Qingqing had clearly seen his face in the courtyard but hadn't said anything, he figured she must have known what was going on.

After all, she had seen what he looked like when he was fleeing, and now she was just cooperating by choosing not to say anything.

However, dressing as a man is not an easy thing.

I feel tightness in my chest and shortness of breath, and I have to be constantly careful to avoid any mistakes or flaws that might be noticed. It's really tiring.

In the past few months, her body has developed rapidly. She has grown taller, with slender shoulders and a narrow waist. Her chest has also become much more prominent. She has a slender figure and does not look like a man at all.

Moreover, her lower back was aching slightly today, and she had a premonition that the day she hated most in her past life was about to arrive again.

Therefore, TV dramas are really just nonsense.

The reason she has been able to continue dressing as a man until now is entirely due to the abilities she gained from her special profession in her previous life; otherwise, she would have been exposed long ago.

Helplessly, Gu Qingyue put the mirror back in the drawer, blew out the light, turned around the inner room screen, and walked towards the bed.

"Who?" Gu Qingyue had just turned around the screen when she saw a figure enter the inner room through the side window.

"I".

As a clear voice fell, her body immediately fell into a slightly chilly embrace that carried the scent of cold bamboo.

"You------", Gu Qingyue wanted to ask him why he came again, but she didn't know how to say it.

As she leaned against him, lost in thought, she was suddenly lifted into the air by Mu Yun Chu, who swept her up and carried her to the bedside.

"Hey---put me down," Gu Qingyue panicked a little. Was this progressing too fast?

They haven't gotten to that point yet! Her body is still too small, hey!

Mu Yun Chu silently placed her on the bed, took off her shoes, covered her with a blanket, and then bent down to sit on the edge of the bed.

Gu Qingyue then realized that she seemed to have misunderstood.

It scared her to death!

"Why are you here? It's so cold," Gu Qingyue asked uneasily, sensing that Mu Yun Chu's expression was somewhat depressed.

"I came here because I missed you," he said, lowering his head and getting closer to Gu Qingyue.

Gu Qingyue looked at his hair hanging down in front of him, reached out and touched it; it was still damp.

Doesn't this guy care about his body?

Running around outside in this cold weather with wet hair really made her want to give him a lecture.

Gu Qingyue suddenly sat up, pulled a strand of hair into her hand, and found it was still very damp, probably because she had just hastily dried herself after washing up.

Gu Qingyue lifted the covers, preparing to get out of bed. She wanted to grab a dry towel to wipe him down again.

"Don't get up, it's cold," Mu Yun Chu pressed her down, pulled her into his arms, and hugged her tightly.

Your hair------

"Shh...it's alright."

Before Gu Qingyue could finish speaking, Mu Yun Chu pressed her finger to her lips.

The man's hands were icy cold, and her lips kissed his fingers without warning. Gu Qingyue was like a startled deer, suddenly at a loss, her heart racing.

At this moment, Mu Yun Chu also trembled all over!

He had never imagined that a woman's body could be so delicate and supple!

Before, when Gu Qingyue dressed as a man, he knew she had her chest bound, but now... just now, in his haste, he hugged her, and the feeling was indescribable.

In short, he is now completely out of control of his heartbeat.

My throat felt dry, and my face and ears felt hot.

Even the hand placed behind her back was trembling slightly.

He gently stroked her loose hair with his hand; it was soft, smooth, and fragrant. Suddenly, his heart was filled with a feeling called being moved.

It's a little bitter, a little sour, and a little sweet.

This was the first time in nearly twenty years that he had experienced such a special feeling.

He was a little nervous, but also a little expectant.

"Ah Yue, I will miss you," Mu Yun Chu said softly after a long while, hugging the woman even tighter.

Gu Qingyue sat on the bed, sensing the man's emotions, and her own wildly beating heart calmed down a bit.
