His laugh, expanding and contracting: "Those who didn’t receive a red envelope, please don’t take any drastic asures in a mont of despair. If you do, I’ll be unhappy."
Gu Shaocheng truly was a man of few words. After a few brief instructions and a wave of his hand, he said, "Dismissed!", announcing the end of the night’s scare.
He turned around and returned to the inner courtyard.
Entering the bedroom, Chenxing was still deep in sleep.
He lay down fully clothed next to her, shed the intense murderous aura from his body, wrapped the woman’s soft form in his arms, and had barely settled for a mont when a series of knocks at the door began to sound.
His brow furrowed, he got up to open the door.
Just as he was about to lose his temper, he saw it was the grinning Hua Hua standing at the doorway.
Hua Hua looked Gu Shaocheng up and down and let out a slight sigh of relief: "Bro, I’ve brought you so really effective ointnt for sprains. I went out of town to get it overnight, you should try it."
Peeking inside he asked, "Has sister-in-law not woken up yet?"
"I’m fine."
Accepting the dicine, he took a look at him and indeed saw signs of a hard journey—his hair appeared sowhat disheveled. Gu Shaocheng closed the bedroom door, and the two of them, one after the other, headed to the tea room.
The servants, who were serving tea and water, retreated as if they had greased their feet, nearly slipping away. Hua Hua touched his own hair, feeling sothing off as he walked all the way in, but couldn’t quite put his finger on what exactly was wrong... Yes, an oppressive feeling. The servants he encountered along the way were all like frightened birds. Did sothing happen?
But never mind that for now, he unwrapped the ointnt that his brother had placed on the table. Hua Hua squatted down and said, "Bro, let apply so ointnt for you."
Gu Shaocheng withdrew his leg a bit, trying to dodge as he asked, "No need, have you had breakfast yet?"
"Not yet, don’t dodge, bro. This dicine is really very effective. I had sprained my ankle and soone gave it to ; it worked wonders. Sadly, I couldn’t find it at ho, so after asking around, I went and bought another one to bring to you."
"I’ll apply it myself later. What would you like for breakfast? I’ll ask the servants to prepare it."
"Ah, of course what I usually love to eat," Hua Hua, not giving up, suddenly grabbed Gu Shaocheng’s leg and said, "Bro, don’t feel embarrassed, I’m telling you, this dicine is truly exceptional, otherwise, I wouldn’t have bothered to go and buy it specially."
Gu Shaocheng sighed and pat his shoulder: "I’m really fine, it’s a very slight injury, not even swollen. Doctor He has already prescribed so dicine, so get up now."
A flash of worry crossed Hua Hua’s eyes, thinking that his brother must be too embarrassed to say so. Ah, in the past, when his brother was hurt, he would casually allow him to apply the dicine for him, but now things were different, he felt awkward.
Standing up, he left the ointnt on the table, thought for a mont, and nagged once more, "Then make sure you apply it yourself later. If you can’t reach, let sister-in-law do it for you."
Gu Shaocheng nodded: "Mhm."
"Have you been short of spending money lately?" He patted the seat next to him, signalling for him to sit down, as it was strenuous for Hua Hua to keep looking up while talking because of his height.
Hua Hua chuckled and with a swagger, he took a seat, adjusting his sowhat disheveled hair with a bit of vanity, tilting his head down, he styled his hair with one hand, and extended the other hand to Gu Shaocheng: "Of course I am short on cash, check out my newly bought ring, cool isn’t it? I spent all my pocket money for the month on it. But hey, hehe, why not gift a new car while you’re at it? I’ve been driving that car for over a year and I’m sick of it. It even broke down on the road last night, I almost wished I could dismantle it."
