Be in low spirits

When Gu Jinluo woke up, she felt tired and hungry. She saw that she had no clothes on and wanted to find pajamas to put on.

"Sleep a little longer." Ye Fan pulled her to lie down again, sighing, "It would be nice if time could stop at this moment forever."

"Don't you have any official business to deal with today? I still have a lot of things to deal with. It's time to get up." She wanted to get up, but because she was naked, she wanted to grab the quilt and get clothes from the closet.

"You haven't told me what this means for us." Ye Fan knew that she wanted to put on her clothes, so he grabbed the quilt to stop her from getting up.

"Well...is that considered cheating?" She wanted to grab the quilt and find some clothes to wear.

Ye Fan took her nightgown from last night, looked at her and said, "It's torn."

"Don't do this again next time. Hurry up and get up. I need to find some clothes to put on."

Ye Fan took his bathrobe and put it on, saying, "I'll go to the secretary's office today to see if there is any news, and talk to my mother and uncle about our affairs."

Gu Jinluo opened the closet with a quilt wrapped around her, wanting to take the cheongsam off the hanger. As her hands loosened, the quilt fell down, and her body fell completely into Ye Fan's sight.

He sat in the chair next to the dressing table and admired it without any concealment, without any intention of avoiding it.

She covered her chest, pretended to be calm, took off her skirt and put it on. She wanted to button it up, but Ye Fan walked over to her and helped her button it up one by one, saying, "You don't even know how to ask your lover for help with this kind of thing."

"This kind of thing was only done by Aunt Liu when I was a kid. How dare I trouble a great general like you? Didn't you say you were going back?"

"I want to have breakfast with you before going back." He couldn't help but hug her from behind.

"Okay, why have breakfast at ten o'clock? It's time for lunch soon. Don't do this next time." She turned around to comfort him. She was also hungry, so she broke free from his hand, opened the door and called Aunt Liu to prepare some food.

Ye Fan also changed his clothes and pretended to be a general. Seeing him suddenly so serious, Gu Jinluo laughed out loud. How could he look like a lover? Shen Zeqing looked more like one than him.

She found the secretary to discuss Jinghua's affairs and asked him to send someone to find Shen Zeqing. The secretary was a little embarrassed and stood up from the dining chair and said, "Miss, the son-in-law...has always been elusive. Finding him...I'm afraid it's not that easy."

"Well, you don't have to worry about this matter. I'll find it. Keep an eye out for suitable houses in Jinghua these two days. It's time for my brother to settle down here and bring my sister-in-law over." After eating something simple, he prepared to go to Yang's house to see Yao'er.

Aunt Liu came over and said something to her. She calmed down and said, "Pack up. If you don't go back today, you will have to go back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

After receiving the instructions, Aunt Liu also began to tell the servants to pack up.

Ye Fan followed the car back to the garrison office, and the new secretary quickly replied to him, saying: "The president has agreed to your application to be transferred to Anjiang."

Gu Jinluo sent the guards away and ran into the noodle shop alone to look for Shen Zeqing. He was not there. Seeing her extraordinary temperament, the noodle shop owner couldn't help but ask, "Are you Mrs. Shen?"

"Do you know me?" There were not many people in the noodle shop. She looked around with a fan in her hand, and indeed she didn't see anyone.

"Mr. Shen is in the backyard, please follow me." Seeing that there were not many people in the noodle shop, the boss told the waiter to close the door and lead her to the backyard.

There was a simple house in the backyard with a stove that was blackened by smoke. Walking past the stove, I came to a bedroom where Shen Zeqing was lying weakly.

She ran to the bed, held his hand and asked, "Zeqing, what happened?"

"Miss Gu, how did you find your way here?" His face was pale and his voice was weak.

"Zeqing, don't talk for now. I'll find a doctor for you." Seeing how weak he was, he must have been seriously injured.

"Mrs. Shen, Mr. Shen can't go to the hospital." The noodle shop owner stopped her and continued, "Mr. Shen must evacuate Jinghua now. I hope Mrs. Shen can think of a solution."

"No! There is only one step left, I must complete this task." Shen Zeqing tried hard to sit up, holding his stomach, but still couldn't get up.

"Zeqing, don't worry. I know the mission is important, but your health is more important now. Boss, are there any other members of your Communist Youth Society in Jinghua?" Seeing Shen Zeqing's look, she habitually took over the next matter.

"Ms. Gu, you have helped the Communist Youth Society a lot over the years. I can't involve you anymore. I may not be able to go back alive this time. I just hope you can take good care of my father and mother for me." Shen Zeqing originally knew that this trip to Beijing would be life-threatening, but he didn't know it would come so soon.

"Zeqing, don't say such stupid things. How can I just stand by and watch someone die without helping him?"

She pulled the noodle shop owner over and said, "I don't know much about Zeqing's work, but given his current physical condition, he must be treated. If you agree, I will take him back to Anjiang and wait until he gets better before coming to Jinghua."

The noodle shop owner thanked Gu Jinluo and asked two people to help Shen Zeqing up and stopped a rickshaw at the door.

The two took a rickshaw back to the hotel and asked the accompanying doctor to look at his injuries. The injuries were indeed serious, and the wounds were only treated simply.

After the doctor re-treated the wound, Shen Zeqing fell asleep. Gu Jinluo, who was watching over him, also fell asleep with her hands on the table. She only woke up when Liu Ma came to call her for dinner.

Aunt Liu whispered in her ear, "Miss, General Ye is here too, downstairs."

"Please come up quickly and leave someone here to guard. Notify me when the son-in-law wakes up." She ordered sleepily.

When they went to the restaurant for dinner, Ye Fan was also invited to the table. As soon as he sat down, he said with great joy: "The application for the garrison in Anjiang has been approved. We can leave in two days. Why don't you wait for me?"

"I can't wait any longer. I have to set off tomorrow. Zeqing is injured and we must rush back to Anjiang as soon as possible." Her meals were always prepared separately in the kitchen. Later, when Aunt Liu saw that she was not used to the food, she prepared it for her herself. Therefore, the two people's meals were different and they sat far apart.

"Injured? Isn't he a professor at the school? Can he get injured while teaching?" Ye Fan had always doubted Shen Zeqing's identity, and was even more surprised to hear that he was injured.

"How do you know he is a teacher?" She seemed not to have told him this.

"I... I am Shen Zeqing. Just check and you'll know." Ye Fan knew he had let the cat out of the bag, and his voice became smaller and smaller.

She sighed. How could the man in front of her still be the same as he was six or seven years ago? "I never ask about Zeqing's work, but on the surface, we are still husband and wife. I can't just stand by and watch him die."

Ye Fan sat next to her with a bowl of rice and said, "I understand, you two are husband and wife." He probably ate that bowl of rice with vinegar.

Before going to bed, Gu Jinluo sat on his lap and asked, "You always come here, won't your aunt say something?"

"What did she say? I said whether her grandchildren can be born depends on how often I come to your place. What else can she say?" He had visited Shen Zeqing and knew that his injuries were indeed serious, so he didn't say much.

Ever since he heard that he was going to take Shen Zeqing back to Anjiang, he has been in a low mood.

"How can a lover be so cold to his lover, huh?" She tilted her head and moved closer to his face, asking cunningly.

"You are not willing to wait for one more day, is it because of you, your husband in public? Do I have to keep my head down and be a slave forever?" He put his arms around her waist and buried his head in her chest, feeling aggrieved.

It sounded as if she had married many concubines and was acting like a spoiled brat begging for favor.

"Isn't it just to take him back to Anjiang to deal with our superficial relationship? Why are you still feeling aggrieved?" She consoled softly.

"I'm a general, and I'll be a commander in the future, leading troops into battle, but in front of my woman, I'm just an underground lover. I feel so helpless."

Gu Jinluo untied the belt on his bathrobe, stroked his chest with both hands, kissed his lips, and asked, "Are you still feeling wronged?"

"Just that?" He still felt it was not enough. After so many years, how could this be enough?

She lowered her head and kissed his neck, then moved down from his neck to the scar on his chest. He trembled slightly at the touch of his body, his heartbeat quickened, and his breathing became disordered.

He still couldn't help but carry the person to the bed, and then he plundered her fiercely, tormenting the person in his arms until he was exhausted.

In the morning, Aunt Liu ordered the servants to move the luggage and set off for Anjiang. The servants were moving the things in a hurry when the police suddenly rushed in and said, "Everyone put down your things and stand still."
