This woman, even though she was currently dressed in the coarse cloth attire of a mountain peasant and had no hair ornants or makeup due to being bedridden, made this fellow woman montarily stare in awe.
How could there be such a perfect appearance in this world?
Even though she was looking at her expressionlessly, it didn’t make anyone feel uncomfortable.
A beauty always has endless privileges.
She revealed a smile: "I heard from my mother that Brother Da Shi brought back a girl, so I ca specifically to take a look."
The Brother Da Shi she referred to was Shih Lei, who brought Gu Shengyin back.
Gu Shengyin held no goodwill towards this woman, so when she heard her say this, she directly retorted indifferently: "So, now that you’ve seen , can you leave? I am injured, and the owner of this place is not at ho, so I’m sorry, but I cannot entertain you."
Blatantly asking her to leave.
A Xiu’s expression changed a bit; she hadn’t expected Qu Feiluan to speak so rudely.
But she had her own agenda.
She pretended not to catch Gu Shengyin’s words and instead widened her eyes, showing an envious expression as she said, "Sister, you are really beautiful; I’ve never seen anyone more beautiful than you. My na is A Xiu, and I’m a farr in these mountains. Sister, what is your na?"
Even though she already had her suspicions, she wanted to confirm if this person was really Qu Feiluan.
Gu Shengyin played along with her act perfectly: "I suffered a head injury and don’t rember anything from before."
Upon hearing this, A Xiu finally felt relieved.
While she personally wished to stay a bit longer and establish a rapport with Gu Shengyin, the latter was indeed not very cooperative, and coupled with Gu Shengyin’s pallid, bloodless appearance, A Xiu realized that excessive disturbance might provoke her displeasure. Hence, she had to leave sowhat reluctantly.
Shortly after she left, the owner of the house returned.
At the first sight of Shih Lei, Gu Shengyin’s eyes lit up.
This man was incredibly robust, with skin tanned to a healthy bronze from long exposure to the sun. It was spring now, and the thin spring shirt could not conceal the powerful muscles on his arms.
A man with bushy eyebrows and large eyes, though not handso, possessed a distinct, rugged masculinity.
A man of iron,
When anyone sees this man for the first ti, such a word might inevitably co to mind.
Most importantly, Gu Shengyin felt a familiar aura from him.
Yet, this tall and rugged man stamred as soon as he saw Gu Shengyin: "You... you’re awake?"
He seed a bit at a loss, and seeing Gu Shengyin looking at him coldly made him even more flustered: "I, when I went hunting last night, I happened to see you passed out in the woods, so I carried you back."
After speaking, he realized Gu Shengyin was still staring at him silently, and he blushed: "Rest assured, I... I didn’t sleep in this room at night. Your clothes were also changed by Auntie Zhang, my neighbor. I..."
"Alright, I know." Gu Shengyin finally spoke.
"Thank you." Even while expressing gratitude, there was no extra expression on her face.
Seeing Gu Shengyin finally speak, Shih Lei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn’t mind the cold attitude. After all, a girl being brought ho by a stranger, having so reservations—it was only natural.
