Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 129
Chapter 129 Very Thin but Very Big
Qiao Xi felt a little guilty as she nestled in Gu Jinzhen’s embrace and felt his body temperature and bloody aura.
Qiao Xi raised her eyes tentatively to meet Gu Jinzhen’s gaze. She always felt that the atmosphere was not right.
“Are you all right?” His dry tone was filled with disgust, but if he listened carefully, he would still be able to sense the stiffness in his tone.
Qiao Xi remained silent as she looked at Gu Jinzhen strangely.
Gu Jinzhen’s forehead was drenched in sweat. It was painful. However, there was no unnecessary expression on his paralyzed face. He was estranged and indifferent. If Qiao Yunxi hadn’t seen the faint anxiety in his eyes, he would have thought that the other party was going to pick a fight.
“Injured? Where?” Sure enough, when he opened his mouth again, Gu Jinzhen’s tone became somewhat anxious.
At this time, Qiao Yunxi’s thoughts were a little … off topic.
She didn’t understand. The first time the two of them met, they were still in an endless situation. The next few times, Gu Jinzhen hurriedly jumped out to block her black hand. Say that he favors Qiao Jinwen. He didn’t do anything to protect Qiao Jinwen. The only time he went out of line was when he used her as Qiao Jinwen’s meat shield.
She was a villain who remembered grudges, so she naturally wouldn’t forget this.
However, after that, Gu Jinzhen’s thoughts became unfathomable.
As always, they would hate each other when they met, but what was going on when they peeked at her?
Along the way, this guy peeked at her many times.
Was he trying to lay his hands on her behind her back?
Qiao Yunxi shook his head in amusement
It was too easy for Gu Jinzhen to kill her.
Also, what should we say about the things that were delivered to the Eastern Campus?
“Hey, I’m asking you something!” The nervous Gu Jinzhen couldn’t help but raise his voice, and his tone was much weaker.
After regaining her senses, Qiao Xi actually didn’t retaliate. Instead, she shook her head and withdrew from Gu Jinzhen’s embrace.
The temperature in his arms suddenly dropped, and Gu Jinzhen was immediately unhappy.
Gu Jinzhen didn’t understand whether the anger in his chest came from the wound on his back or the sudden disappearance of the temperature in his bosom. Gu Jinzhen was no faster than Qiao Yunxi when he pulled his hand out of his embrace.
Qiao Xi examined the current situation.
Below the cliff was a flat place with the sound of flowing water. It was believed that there was a source of water not far away.
Because the terrain was very low, coupled with the surrounding mountain walls, it had been a long time since the sun shone. It was cold and gloomy. It was very uncomfortable.
Qiao Xi looked back.
Gu Jinzhen stood there sulking.
Originally, he didn’t want to pay attention to this person, but in the end, he was injured because of her. After returning the favor, he would be settled.
As for using her as Qiao Jinwen’s meat shield?
Haha, one yard for one yard, she remembered that matter.
“Where’s the ointment?”
Gu Jinzhen was stunned. After reacting, he rubbed his chest twice and took out the ointment and handed it to Qiao Yunxi. “Where are you hurt?”
“It’s not me, it’s you,” Qiao Xi took the ointment and asked, “Can you leave?”
Seeing that Gu Jinzhen nodded, Qiao Yunxi turned around and walked in a certain direction.
Gu Jinzhen’s eyes narrowed. He didn’t say anything and followed Qiao Xi forward.
Sure enough, within fifty meters, he saw a small stream.
Qiao Yunxi walked to the side of the stream and waved to Gu Jinzhen.
Gu Jinzhen walked over in confusion.
“Take off your clothes.”
What happened?
Gu Jinzhen was stunned.
Qiao Yunxi was impatient. “I told you to take off your clothes!”
Sure enough, he hadn’t heard wrongly before.
Somehow, Gu Jinzhen’s ghost fire burst out, “You can’t wait!”
In her previous life, Qiao Yunxi’s reputation was not good. Who didn’t know that she was a woman raised by the Third Prince? Other than the Third Prince, there were other men who walked in and out of her courtyard from time to time. They weren’t brothel girls, but they were doing what brothel girls did!
Qiao Jinwen tried to persuade her several times, but Qiao Yunxi kicked her out of the courtyard!
Afterwards, the Third Prince withstood the pressure of Consort Cao and insisted on marrying Qiao Xi as his main wife. On the night before the wedding, Qiao Xi died under his sword, which exposed him. Less than a month after Qiao Xi’s death, he also died.
However, since Qiao Yunxi failed to marry the Third Prince, Qiao Jinwen should be able to fulfill her wish, right?
Gu Jinzhen withdrew his slack emotions and looked at Qiao Yunxi with a burning gaze. It wasn’t the scorching heat that the opposite sex sucked in, but rather, he wished he could eat the other party’s scorching heat.
“You want to die again?” Qiao Yunxi sneered, “What kind of dirty thing are you thinking about?”
“I…”
“Hurry up and take off your clothes.” Without waiting for Gu Jinzhen to respond, Qiao Yunxi squatted down, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and stirred it twice in the stream.
Only then did Gu Jinzhen understand that Qiao Yunxi was going to help him treat his wounds.
He turned around awkwardly and stretched his hands towards his clothes. He was hesitant, expectant, puzzled, and excited.
Gu Jinzhen didn’t know what he was excited about.
Gritting his teeth, he closed his eyes and took off his coat.
As Qiao Yunxi had expected, Gu Jinzhen’s tunic had already been stained with blood. It was not a bright red patch under the bright light.
“Aren’t you afraid?” Gu Jinzhen asked awkwardly.
Qiao Xi was too lazy to pay attention to him and used her silk handkerchief to carefully wipe the blood stains on the edge of the wound.
Gu Jinzhen’s tense body shook imperceptibly, and the movements in Qiao Yunxi’s hand became even more gentle.
Thinking that Qiao Xi didn’t want to talk to him, Gu Jinzhen stopped talking. However, the feeling of his back getting hotter and hotter made him unable to hold on any longer. The scorching heat was like a fire dragon, moving up his spine and directly towards the top of his head. His head was dizzy, his cheeks were burning, and smoke came out from the protrusions above his head.
“Relax.” Qiao Yunxi’s voice came from behind, and Gu Jinzhen subconsciously tightened his body.
He had always known that Qiao Yunxi’s voice was pleasant to hear. Even if he hated Qiao Yunxi so much in his previous life that he gnashed his teeth, he could not deny Qiao Yunxi’s beauty and voice. He wasn’t a face-watcher, but a woman with a gentle appearance and a soft voice could really take advantage of him.
Every time he met Qiao Xi, he had to do a good job of psychological construction in advance before he could face Qiao Xi mercilessly.
Therefore, he deserved to die early in his previous life!
If he could be ruthless, why would he force him to attack Qiao Yunxi until the end? The timing was wrong, the method was wrong, and the result was even more wrong.
There was a faint scent of mint under his nose. In the clouds, Gu Jinzhen had thought too far. He was confused. He could not tell whether he was hating Qiao Yunxi’s life or wanting to find out the truth.
An exquisite feeling came from his back. Gu Jinzhen’s heart shook. He endured several breaths before he could endure the waves in his heart.
Look!
Look!
He was already able to hook up with people at such a young age!
And shameless!
This small hand touched the man’s body, and a few of them could be controlled!
How many men were able to sit still like him? Were they really gentlemen?
Thinking about how this pair of small hands had touched other men in his previous life, Gu Jinzhen gritted his teeth in anger. He wanted to suppress the fire in his chest, but he couldn’t suppress it for a long time, and his body began to tremble.
“Pa!”
Qiao Yunxi slapped Gu Jinzhen’s back, and the latter’s mouth twitched in pain.
“What are you doing? Be calm!” Gu Jinzhen immediately fell silent with a tender chuckle.
Although he was still holding back his anger, he did not dare to act rashly.
Qiao Xi carefully rubbed the ointment on Gu Jinzhen’s back before covering his back with her coat.
Gu Jinzhen understood and immediately put on his coat.
The ointment on his back was filled with the smell of peppermint at the tip of his nose.
Although it was a familiar smell, it was even more intense than usual. It was so intense that even if he deliberately held his breath, he could still feel the coolness on his back.
The wound didn’t seem to hurt that much anymore, but the fire in his heart couldn’t be suppressed. There was anger and something else. He had never experienced it before, and it was mixed with fear, longing, and contradiction.
After packing up, Qiao Xi cleaned up the embroidered handkerchief and casually threw it twice in her hand. “Let’s take a rest and continue?”
Continue what?
Naturally, he had found a way out.
Gu Jinzhen was young and had a good foundation. Although his back was bloody and looked frightening, Qiao Yunxi thought that she had bandaged him up.
Right now, the most important thing was to find a way out. Who knew if there were any wild beasts in the wilderness?
No, there is no sunshine here all year round. Even in the daytime, it is extremely cold. At night, it might freeze people to death.
Qiao Xi did not think of finding a place to light a fire and warm herself up. She placed her hopes on others, preferring to save herself.
She was very confident in her ability to survive in the wild, and she had carefully observed the surrounding terrain. With a general direction, she left a signal to the rescue team along the way, and they could quickly meet up.
She was never arrogant and only did things within her ability. If there was really nothing she could do, she also understood the principle of stubbornness.
Qiao Xi’s thoughts were simple, but she forgot that she was only an eleven-year-old girl. She was a young lady who could not leave the main gate, so how could she be like this?
Gu Jinzhen calmly looked at her, suppressed the doubts in his heart, and stood up. “There’s no need to rest, it’s fine now.”
Qiao Yunxi didn’t care if Gu Jinzhen could do it or not. She only understood the literal meaning, “Let’s go, this way.”
He habitually led the team.
Gu Jinzhen followed closely behind and stared at Qiao Xi’s back.
In a daze, the delicate figure gradually overlapped with the delicate figure from his previous life. He could not distinguish which was which. He was stunned for a moment, but he smiled again.
Whether it was in front of him or in his previous life, they were all the same person.
He had never seriously looked at Qiao Xi, even if it was her back.
Whether he was afraid or refused to be bewitched, every time he saw Qiao Xi, his gaze would always be focused on her. She only vaguely remembered that Qiao Xi’s body was thin. In her previous life, Qiao Xi’s body had always been poor. Until she became the Third Prince’s outer room, the precious medicinal ingredients moved into Qiao Xi’s courtyard in the suburbs like flowing water. Taking medicine was like eating.
At that time, Qiao Yunxi no longer showed her face in front of outsiders. Only Qiao Jinwen would occasionally visit her. Judging from Qiao Jinwen’s words, Qiao Yunxi had recovered a little, but in the end, it was a loss of blood vitality. It was impossible for her to be like a normal person.
Not only did the Third Prince ask the imperial physician to help Qiao Yunxi recuperate, he also found many folk prescriptions. I wonder if Qiao Yunxi would be useful if she ate them. Anyway, when she died under his sword, she was very thin.
Skinny to skinny, but there were all kinds of things that should be there, and they were still very … big.
