But things are different now. Lin Sanshui’s sudden wealth has made everyone in the village focus on Nan Jin Yu, whose rumored riches, combined with a face as divine as a deity, perfectly compensate for the defect in his leg and once again make him the heartthrob of all the girls.
Upon hearing what Li Yue’er said, Lin Chunhua, whether truly angry or simply ashamed and infuriated, let out a howl and rushed forward.
In an instant, the two tangled together, and the meticulously prepared food in their hands fell to the ground, being trampled into a mess as they rolled around.
Gu Nian was so startled that she swallowed hard, quickly grabbing the bamboo tube in her hand and retreating several steps.
Oh my god, it’s the first time she’s seen such a fierce fight, with her petite figure, it’s better to retreat quickly.
Just as Gu Nian was about to run, she turned around and bumped right into Wuming, who grabbed her by the collar and lifted her up. Just when she thought she was about to be strangled to death, her feet touched the ground again.
With just that one action, she was dragged by the collar into the courtyard.
After stabilizing herself, listening to the sounds of the ongoing fight outside, Gu Nian knew that no one had noticed she had been brought in.
Gu Nian glared angrily at Wuming, "Wuming, you went too far this time, do you know? I was almost strangled to death by you just now!"
Wuming felt guilty but didn’t show it on the surface; he simply shifted his gaze uncomfortably. Without saying a word, he walked away.
Wuxin had told him, when feeling guilty, keep a stern face and don’t speak. When not knowing what to say, also don’t speak. This way, no one can see his foolishness, and he wouldn’t embarrass his master.
Gu Nian angrily pushed open the study room door and immediately saw Nan Jin Yu sitting there writing calmly. Perhaps out of misplaced anger, she walked over and plopped down on the seat opposite him, "Everyone outside is fighting because of you, and yet Young Master Nan still has the leisure to practice calligraphy at this time!"
Nan Jin Yu, however, looked at the bamboo tube Gu Nian had placed on the table and said, "Is this for me?"
Without waiting for Gu Nian to reply, he reached for it and started drinking.
Gu Nian glanced at him but didn’t say anything.
Gu Nian didn’t notice that after a few sips, Nan Jin Yu suddenly paused.
Soon after, he continued to drink it all in one go.
"You can’t blame me for the stuff outside. I already had Wuxin tell them that nothing was needed here; it’s their own fault for refusing to leave. Surely, you can’t blame that on me, right?" Nan Jin Yu tapped the table twice and said, "I haven’t practiced writing for days; come over and write something. Let me see if you’ve been slacking off lately."
Gu Nian’s gaze followed his hand, unwilling to look away for a moment, but she forced herself to raise her head.
She has always had a weakness for hands, and facing Nan Jin Yu’s nearly perfect ones made her almost powerless to resist. Follow current novels on Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
"Let’s skip calligraphy for today. If you have that kind of leisure, think hard about how to resolve the situation outside!" Gu Nian sighed, "You wouldn’t want so many girls blocking your doorstep every day, would you? It’s inconvenient to go in and out, isn’t it?"
Nan Jin Yu chuckled, "No need to worry; Wuxin is already handling it."
As for going in and out conveniently, it truly is not much of an issue for them.
"That’s good. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be off. My place has been quite busy lately!" Saying this, Gu Nian stood up.
Before she could move, Nan Jin Yu said, "Be more careful in the future. Some special things, it’s fine to give them to me, but don’t be too kind and give them to others."
