Miss Fourth tugged at Gu Youyou’s sleeve and said, "Doctor Gu, then you draw me a snake with blue eyes."
Gu Youyou gave Miss Fourth a smile, shot Yue Rujing a fierce glare, but still finished the foolish-looking snake and presented it to Miss Fourth.
The girls exclaimed, "Indeed, the blue eyes look lovely, so cute."
"Doctor Gu, I want one too..."
After returning, Gu Youyou rubbed and washed her hands, but the markings indeed wouldn’t come off.
Could it be that she really had to let this crazed little thing stay on her arm for three days?
Jin Zijin noticed she had been washing her hands for quite a while and came over to see, asking, "What are you washing?"
Gu Youyou raised her arm, lamenting, "Is this thing really going to take three days to wash off?"
Upon seeing the oddly-shaped snake on her arm, Jin Zijin slightly furrowed his brows.
"What’s wrong? You think it looks bad too?" Gu Youyou asked.
"No!" Jin Zijin said, "How come you’ve also drawn this?"
"Can’t I draw it?" Gu Youyou felt puzzled; she did not understand the local customs and rules.
Jin Zijin said, "This is something that only the girls in the boudoir would draw." He then laughed a little and added, "Well, now that it’s been drawn, it’s okay. The pigment used for the painting has a special solution added to it, which indeed takes three days to wash off."
Hearing his explanation, Gu Youyou felt that something was amiss.
If it’s something only boudoir girls would draw, aside from the young Miss Third and Miss Fourth, the others should have known, but they didn’t stop her when she was painting.
Yue Rujing, a grown man, didn’t say anything either and even contributed a stroke.
Three days later, Gu Youyou managed to wash the markings off her arm, but she couldn’t remove the snake’s eye, no matter what.
Only then did she realize she might have been tricked; that stroke was definitely not done with any ordinary solution.
Damn it, Yue Rujing, what are you implying?
This little spot, lying quietly on her arm like a red mole, wouldn’t be seen by others when she was dressed; it did not affect her appearance.
But Gu Youyou felt that this red mole was definitely not as simple as it seemed. After such elaborate scheming to trick her, Yue Rujing couldn’t have just wanted to give her a red mole, could he?
The doctor’s clinic wasn’t open during the seven-day annual leave, but there was no such holiday in the military camp. Jin Zijin went to the camp early as usual, and it was said that Yue Rujing also went every day.
Gu Youyou always felt it was not right to have this thing on her body.
It was a good opportunity to visit the military camp. She could ask Jin Zijin to support her and demand an explanation from Yue Rujing.
Er, one can’t just walk into a military camp; she needed a reason!
Gu Youyou’s mind worked quickly, and soon she had a plan.
She ground the ink, laid out paper, wrote a letter, sealed it in an envelope, and secured it with a wax seal before heading to the city gate to ask for the location of the military camp.
The Commander guarding the city was Kang Shouyi, whom Jin Zijin had mentioned to her when they entered the city.
"Miss, it’s not yet time for leaving the city, please wait over there," he said.
Gu Youyou said, "I’m not in a hurry to leave the city now, I’m looking for your commander, Kang Shouyi."
A young woman calling the commander by his name so directly?
The city guard was slightly taken aback.
"Please wait here; I need to ask if the commander wishes to see you."
"Okay, thank you!" Gu Youyou expressed her gratitude.
Soon after, a man in his late twenties appeared. He recognized Gu Youyou at first glance.
Any woman who could enter the city with Yue Rujing and Jin Zijin was not to be underestimated, and at that time, he had taken a few extra glances. Moreover, with Gu Youyou’s notoriety in the city, Kang Shouyi also recognized her.
