It's not good to be a widow [Comprehensive]

A quarter of an hour later, Lu Jinglu and Ye Gucheng were invited into the only place on the island that could shelter them from wind and rain.

Shen Lang brewed tea for them, saying that the three of them had grown it themselves, and the taste was definitely not comparable to those famous teas from the Central Plains, but on this island, they could only make do with it.

Lu Jinglu was a little flattered, and said: "Shen Daxia doesn't need to be so polite."

Shen Lang smiled and said that he had already retired, so don't call him that anymore.

"Yes." Zhu Qiqi, who also often participated in labor after living in seclusion, said, "By the way, what is the purpose of your trip here?"

Lu Jinglu and Wang Lianhua were halfway through talking when Ye Gucheng came, and then Shen Lang and his wife said they could talk in the room, so they didn't finish.

Now that Zhu Qiqi asked, she simply started from the beginning, told the situation of Ye Gucheng, and finally sighed: "But I heard what Mr. Lianhua said, he didn't get the soul-hunting spell."

"Could it be that after being questioned by your clever friend, City Lord Ye came to his senses from the insanity spell, so—" Shen Lang speculated, and asked Wang Lianhua with his eyes.

In the end, Wang Lianhua still shook her head.

Wang Lianhua said: "Firstly, it is impossible for a soul-destroyer to cause amnesia; secondly, if a person who has been subjected to a soul-devotion awakens halfway through, it is very likely that his internal energy will be disordered and he will go crazy, but City Lord Ye has no such symptoms."

Lu Jinglu: "..."

She turned to look at Ye Gucheng, and found that he didn't react when he heard this, and his expression froze immediately, wondering if he really didn't want to remember her?

Don't blame her for thinking too much, Wang Lianhua's words just now, in fact, somewhat imply that Ye Gucheng is in a good state except that he can't remember her now.

And he didn't respond and didn't care, which really made it hard for her not to think so.

Noticing her change, Zhu Qiqi on the side hurriedly broke the silence and continued: "Then, in your opinion, what happened to Lord Ye?"

Wang Lianhua thought about it and said that he had a conjecture, but it would take time to prepare for verification.

"What guess?" It was Ye Gucheng who spoke this time.

"Since you have never been affected by soul-instigmatism, but you have had similar symptoms, then maybe you have been affected by Gu." Wang Lianhua said, "Gu that has a similar effect of soul-instigmatism."

When Lu Jinglu heard this conjecture, she almost couldn't continue to sit on the chair.

"what?!"

"Don't worry, Mrs. Ye." Wang Lianhua repeated again, "This is just my conjecture, which still needs to be verified."

"How to verify?" Lu Jinglu asked.

Wang Lianhua said that he couldn't fully explain this for a while, because the knowledge of Gu is extensive and profound, even he can only rely on what he has learned before and try his best.

"Of course, if the two of you don't trust me, then just pretend I didn't say anything." As he said this, there was another arc on his face.

Lu Jinglu thought that he could even cure Lianxing's hand and foot disabilities, so of course she tended to believe him, but now it might be Ye Gucheng who was poisoned, not her, so after listening to Wang Lianhua's list of risks, she was the first to believe him. The first reaction was to go and see Ye Gucheng.

Ye Gucheng maintained his previous expression, seemed to be thinking about something, and after a while he opened his mouth and said, "Okay."

Wang Lianhua stood up and said, "I probably need a day to prepare."

After he finished speaking, he went out, probably not intending to delay for a moment.

Zhu Qiqi and Shen Lang looked at each other, they didn't know what kind of opinions they exchanged, and finally Shen Lang said: "In that case, you two might as well stay overnight on the island."

"Although this place is a bit crude, fortunately there is still an empty room. Qiqi and I will help you clean it up in a while."

Lu Jinglu was too embarrassed to ask the two of them to do it, and hurriedly said: "No, no, no, we are already very sorry that we have rushed to the door to disturb you. We have to do it ourselves."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Gucheng also nodded, humming, as if expressing agreement.

In this way, Shen Lang and Zhu Qiqi did not insist, and directly led them to the empty room he mentioned just now.

The house is a new one, just like the small hall where we sat down to drink tea just now, it is not spacious, but the tables and chairs inside are complete, obviously it was carefully arranged after it was built.

If there are any shortcomings, it is probably that the bed inside is at least half narrower than the one Lu Jinglu usually sleeps on.

That is to say, if she lives with Ye Gucheng, it will be a bit crowded, maybe they will be completely next to each other when they fall asleep.

She was a little worried that Ye Gucheng would not be able to accept it, after all, she was only slightly better than strangers to him now.

During the five days they came from Feixian Island, the two of them were on the boat. Although they faced each other day and night, at least they didn't have to face the situation of having to fall asleep.

Of course, they could also refuse Shen Lang and Zhu Qiqi's arrangement, and go back to the boat parked by the beach to sleep for another night, but in this way, it is hard to guarantee that they will not have any ideas.

Lu Jinglu sighed helplessly from the bottom of her heart, and said nothing more.

As a result, what she didn't expect was that when it was time to rest at night, before going to bed, she began to feel embarrassed.

Shen Lang and his wife warmly brought over hot water and a wooden bucket for washing. After they thanked each other, they looked at each other, and finally said in unison: "I'll go out first."

After the words fell, both of them were speechless for a while.

Lu Jinglu felt that it was not a problem to stare so wide-eyed, so she took the initiative to push the door and go out, meaning to let him go first.

The autumn night in the South China Sea was windy, and she only stood outside the house for a quarter of an hour, and her head was buzzing violently.

After he came out of the house after washing, she didn't hear anything, until he reached out and patted her on the shoulder.

Lu Jinglu didn't sleep well because of her headache and worry over the past ten days, and now she was blown by the night wind, her face turned pale.

Seeing her like this, Ye Gucheng couldn't help being a little worried: "Are you okay?"

This is a sentence that blurted out before the brain reacted, so the emotion is complete, without the slightest restraint.

Lu Jinglu could hear the nervousness in it, and felt her heart ache, she bit her lip, and opened her mouth and whispered: "Not good."

When Ye Gucheng heard this, he became even more worried.

He wanted to ask her what's wrong, but before he could speak, she hugged her.

"Let me hold you for a while." She lowered her voice, "Just for a while."

Ye Gucheng didn't expect that she would hug her suddenly, but he just didn't expect it. The moment he was really thrown into her arms, he didn't feel the slightest resistance, and even hesitated to hug her back.

He didn't refuse or break free, so Lu Jinglu let herself hug him all the time. She closed her eyes, buried her head in his chest, tightened her arms, and didn't let go for a long time.

If Shen Lang and his wife hadn't come later to ask if they wanted hot water, Lu Jinglu even felt that she could hug her until dawn.

After hugging for so long, the half of the hot water left by Ye Gucheng was naturally cold, so even though he felt embarrassed, Lu Jinglu still had the cheek to tell Shen Lang and his wife that they needed it.

After that, she finished washing quickly, and lay down with Ye Gucheng.

Time seemed to go back to the night when he just came back from the Nanwang Mansion. She lay on the bed and didn't feel sleepy after opening her eyes for a long time, but this time she could touch his hands, feet and body with a slight movement, and she couldn't even turn over a few times. Became a luxury.

Thinking that she couldn't sleep anyway, after the breathing of the person beside her gradually stabilized, she couldn't hold back and looked at him sideways.

This place is no different from the city lord's mansion on Feixian Island, where there are many buildings and shadows. In such a night, not only can you hear the sea breeze, but you can also see the starlight leaking in through the gaps in the windows.

Lu Jinglu took advantage of this bit of starlight to look at this angular and sharp face for a long time, and finally admitted helplessly that even if he really couldn't think of her from now on, she still liked him and still didn't want to. separate from him.

"If you don't rest, tomorrow will be even more uncomfortable." After an unknown number of breaths, his voice suddenly sounded in the tight room.

Lu Jinglu didn't expect that she would be caught without making a sound, so she froze immediately.

Ye Gucheng slowly opened his eyes, met her slightly embarrassed gaze, and said, "Can't sleep yet?"

"……Um."

"I can't sleep either." He paused, "I've been thinking about a problem for the past few days."

"Wh, what's the problem?" The conversation has reached this point, and it's actually a bit of a serious and long talk.

"It's the question you asked me before." He said, "What did I say to Chu Liuxiang before I came here?"

Lu Jinglu was at a loss: "...Don't you want to tell me?" Now you have changed your mind?

He was even more at a loss: "When did I say that?"

He obviously just thought, if possible, he would figure it out by himself and not bother her.

Lu Jinglu was speechless for a moment, and had no choice but to continue: "Okay, then you say."

Ye Gucheng repeated the question he asked Chu Liuxiang before he set off, and finally said: "But I have been thinking about it for five days, but I still can't figure it out, especially tonight—"

She hugged him suddenly tonight, during which time she obviously didn't say a word, but it still made him feel like never before that she must be very sad.

And he didn't want to do this, but he didn't know how to do it for the best.

"Chu Liuxiang said, I really don't understand, it's better to ask you than him." He continued.

"You..." Lu Jinglu never expected that this was what he had been thinking about for five whole days on the boat, so that after saying the word 'you', he got stuck.

"Sorry." His tone was very sincere, "I know it's me... I didn't do well, at least not as good as before, but—"

"—No!" After regaining her senses, she almost cried, "No, no, you didn't do badly, you are very good."

Ye Gucheng didn't expect that he made her cry with just a few words, and he became more nervous and puzzled for a moment.

This is so good, he thought, if he was really good, she wouldn't be so sad.

Seeing that he was about to open his mouth to say something again, Lu Jinglu's heart moved, and he went directly to kiss the corner of his lips, and whispered: "Really, you are very nice."

You are very, very nice, and I also really, really like you.
