Chapter 1420: Chapter 1424 Gu the Warrior
But still, it pains and scares after the fact.
Fortunately, Gu Junzhu was quick to act.
Otherwise, Gu Junzhu shielding her, with his back towards the basin of charcoal— if that basin of charcoal had fallen directly onto his back…
Ye Xingbei shivered, not daring to think further.
After making sure Gu Junzhu was not seriously hard, just as she wanted to ask if he was hungry and wanted sothing to eat, soone knocked on the door.
Ye Xingbei went to open it.
It was Qiao Zui outside.
“Auntie, is my uncle okay?” Qiao Zui peered into the room, “Xiao Mi is feeling terribly guilty, anxiously waiting downstairs, tears brimming in his eyes. He’s trying not to cry to keep from worrying, holding back tears without letting them fall.”
It really made him feel sorry.
He wished he could just kick Situ Lanyu to death.
Mi Sheng was concerned about Gu Junzhu’s injuries, but considering the separation of male and female, it wasn’t convenient for her to co up, so Qiao Zui had to co and check by himself.
“No worries,” Ye Xingbei stepped aside to let Qiao Zui in, “The burn isn’t serious. It didn’t blister, just has a few red marks.”
“Fortunately, my uncle hasn’t lost all his martial arts skills,” Qiao Zui said with lingering fear, “If he had, he would have been incapacitated tonight.”
Watching the basin of charcoal first falling towards Ye Xingbei’s head, and in a blink of an eye, his uncle protecting Ye Xingbei into his embrace, with the red-hot coals splashing towards Gu Junzhu’s back— at that mont, his breath had halted.
Thankfully, his uncle’s martial arts skills hadn’t deteriorated; his reactions were still swift, his movents still nimble. Otherwise, if that basin of charcoal had all fallen onto his uncle’s back, wouldn’t it just kill his grandfather with worry?
After applying dicine, Gu Junzhu was lying prone on the bed.
Although the injury wasn’t serious, lying on it would still press against the wound and hurt.
Qiao Zui saw the wound for himself and, seeing that it wasn’t serious, he felt relieved. Then he turned to Ye Xingbei and said, “Auntie, you and my uncle should rest. I’ll go tell Xiao Mi. He is feeling extrely guilty, feeling like he shouldn’t have invited you to visit the Situ family.”
“It’s not Xiao Mi’s fault,” Ye Xingbei said, “Convince Xiao Mi it’s an accident and has nothing to do with her, she shouldn’t bla herself.”
Qiao Zui agreed and left.
After closing the door, Ye Xingbei crawled next to Gu Junzhu and kissed his forehead, “Gu the Warrior, Gu the Warrior, Gu the Master, you’ve saved once again!”
Gu Junzhu curved his lips into a smile, “Isn’t that expected? Madam Gu, Madam Gu, mother of my child.”
Ye Xingbei laughed out, “‘Mother of my child,’ what kind of na is that?”
“Isn’t that what people used to call each other?” Gu Junzhu reached out to pull her into his arms, “I heard that in the old days, in the countryside, husbands and wives would refer to each other as ‘child’s father’ and ‘child’s mother’.”
Gu Junzhu leaned in and kissed her, “So you are my ‘child’s mother’.”
Ye Xingbei shook her head with a smile, “Fifth Lord of Gu, you are really down to earth, I am impressed!”
Gu Junzhu rubbed her head and held her still cold hand, “Still scared? Your hand is so cold?”
“Hmm,” Ye Xingbei snuggled into his embrace, “I was scared to death… Gu Junzhu…”
She called his na softly.
“Hmm?” Gu Junzhu looked down at her.
Ye Xingbei wrapped her arms around his neck and whispered, “Don’t do sothing so foolish in the future, just push away. Don’t use your body to shield … I’d rather get burned myself, I don’t want you to get hurt…”
After saying this, she felt very ashad, so she spoke in a very low and mumbled voice.
Once she finished speaking, her ears and neck turned red.
