Gu Qingheng’s brows furrowed slightly, "Such situations are rare, they’re either compelled by necessity, like committing a crime and being wanted, not wanting to implicate family members, or perhaps finding a better life or future that family would only hold back..." He paused, "Did you encounter someone?"
"Gu Qingheng..." Yang Ruxin sighed, "How many times have I told you, can you not be so clever?"
Gu Qingheng smiled.
"I can’t be sure about this matter, so I can’t tell you." Yang Ruxin sighed, "But I can tell you... this trip to the county town, I accidentally saw someone, that person... looked a lot like Yang Baiyue..."
Gu Qingheng’s brow furrowed slightly.
"Aren’t you surprised?"
"I guessed it just now..." Gu Qingheng smiled, "The person or thing that can make you agonize must be someone or something you can’t simply cut off or throw away... Now that I think about it, it could only be Yang Baiyue..."
Yang Ruxin reached out to cradle Gu Qingheng’s face, "Forget I asked that just now, and I won’t ask in the future. Gu Qingheng, in two lifetimes, you’re the only one who understands me the most. How lucky must I be to have met you..."
"The feeling is mutual." Gu Qingheng tilted his head up, letting her cradle his face, feeling her breath, yet there was some confusion in his heart. Why did she mention two lifetimes? However, he wouldn’t ask because he knew that when she wanted to tell him, she surely would.
At that moment, Yang Ruxin suddenly felt that if she didn’t do something, she might not do justice to the intimate ambiance. Acting on impulse was always Sister Xin’s style, so, she leaned down and kissed his lips.
Gu Qingheng’s body shuddered, but in an instant, his hands wrapped around her waist, pressing their lips tightly together.
The two had kissed like this before, but it had never gone deeper. But now, neither wanted to just stop there, both wanted to take it further, so...
Although both were novices, such things are often self-taught, especially since Yang Ruxin’s theoretical knowledge was quite rich. After imitating it once, he learned from her, then quickly took the initiative...
Soon the two were kissing so intensely, they didn’t even hear the hurried footsteps rushing towards them.
"Ah, you guys..." Xun Hui screamed as soon as she entered the door.
Yang Ruxin and Gu Qingheng also snapped back to reality and quickly let go of each other.
Food preparation usually happened in the main room, but because it was too hot, one of the side rooms had been cleared out for a makeshift kitchen. Ruxin hadn’t anticipated Xun Hui bursting in so suddenly.
Gu Qingheng’s neck was red, and Yang Ruxin also felt a moment of embarrassment, but she quickly regained her composure, casually wiping her mouth and calming her somewhat breathless state, "Mother, what brings you here?" This guy learns really fast, I was almost swallowed by him, but... it felt quite nice. We should kiss more often when we’re free, that’s how we can deepen our understanding.
Meanwhile, Gu Qingheng had also calmed down, realizing that if he liked her, it was inevitable to tell everyone sooner or later. Now that Auntie Hui had caught them, it saved them the trouble.
Thinking this, while secretly savoring the kiss they’d shared, suddenly he understood the sentiment of a ghost under the peony wanting to be frivolous. He found that if he really died by Xinxin’s side, he’d be willing. However, letting the girl take the initiative in such matters would be too embarrassing for him, so next time, he was determined to be the one to initiate.
