Gu Tong shrank her neck, almost burrowing into the covers, feeling like her future sister-in-law, Mo Zishuang, was like a resentful concubine from the deep palace, just one step away from setting her on fire...
Illusion, illusion, it must be an illusion...
Gu Tong didn’t dare to continue thinking about this terrifying matter and said, "This is a misunderstanding... definitely an unexpected event... uh... something beyond human control..."
"Scheming tirelessly, volunteering actively, deceitfully obtaining a spot! Going up the mountain to subdue bandits, winning first merits! Are all these a misunderstanding?" Mo Zishuang enunciated each word, reminding Gu Tong of her admirable achievements.
Mo Zishuang had already fully grasped these matters, so even if Gu Tong wanted to deceive, it was useless.
After all, Gu Tong was also considered a member of their group! The higher-ups informing her of these matters was considered normal information communication, so Gu Tong trying to deceive her was simply foolish.
Gu Tong felt like coughing up blood; having her lie exposed directly, nothing could be more embarrassing than this...
"Well... I wasn’t just idle and bored, wanting to go out and see the scenery... so I thought of going out to enjoy the mountains and rivers in between missions... but who knew dangers lurked everywhere, accidents kept happening... I almost didn’t make it back..."
Gu Tong spoke with a rascally attitude, making up stories on the spot; if anyone believed her nonsense, they would be truly seeing ghosts.
Mo Zishuang shot her a cold, piercing glance but went along with it, laughing coldly, "It seems our busy Miss Gu is still a child at heart, still innocent, but unfortunately, there’s no chance to fulfill it!"
Gu Tong hurriedly nodded frantically but still felt something strange.
She just wanted to add a few words when she heard Mo Zishuang say again, "You’ve subdued the bandits, a meritorious deed! How can we neglect our hero, then? How about this, I’ve been quite free these days, why not take you out to ’enjoy the mountains and rivers’, experience a ’journey’!"
Gu Tong’s eyes widened in rejection, her face full of refusal. She hurriedly waved her hands, saying, "No, no, no... Professor Mo, I don’t actually have that much of a playful spirit, staying home is quite nice... I’m ready to turn over a new leaf, become a homebody, and not go out..."
If she couldn’t understand that Mo Zishuang was speaking sarcastically, Gu Tong would have wasted her life. If she agreed, she’d be a fool.
"As a trainee, one must have firm willpower! How can you change on a whim? Moreover, our trainees emphasize keeping promises, what is said is set in stone. I said I’d take you out, and I definitely won’t break my promise!"
"..." Old lady, please feel free to break it...
There’s no need to take promises so seriously, just deceiving her would be fine; she wouldn’t feel heartbroken, definitely not...
"Professor Mo, you’re managing countless affairs, how could I bear to let you work so hard... better to stay home, it’s really quite good..."
Gu Tong was sweating bullets but couldn’t grasp Mo Zishuang’s true intentions.
This early morning, playing such shocking games, her little heart was about to jump out...
Mo Zishuang raised her eyebrows, cold as ice, scanning Gu Tong from head to toe, and said, "It seems you’re not planning to cooperate with me! However, that’s fine, I never expected you would cooperate!"
These words fell to the ground, and Gu Tong reflexively widened her eyes, her pretty little face filled with confusion...
However, just at the next second! Mo Zishuang waved her hand, coldly dropping two words, "Take action!"
