Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

Chapter 33: A layer of gauze

Before she even looked up and saw that familiar face, Shen Nankui's heart skipped a beat and her face turned slightly red.

“The students are still here.”

Gu Yichuan smiled, "You are the teacher, then I am the master's husband. What's wrong with the master's husband coming to pick up the master from school?"

A ray of sunshine after the rain shone on his face, making him look even more dazzling.

"Besides, I have to know if you have been bullied by these brats."

When Aqiao saw her uncle, she came up to him and said with a smile, "Don't worry, uncle. When auntie hits someone, it hurts. Everyone is afraid of her, so how dare they bully her? Besides, with Aqiao and my brother here, we will protect auntie."

"So nice."

Gu Yichuan rubbed her head and asked, "Has Aqiao ever been beaten?"

"I have." Aqiao stuck out her tongue in dismay.

In the private school, Shen Nankui always treats everyone equally.

Gu Yichuan smiled helplessly, "Let's go, I bought some snacks for you at home."

"My uncle is so nice!"

The two little ones were very smart and ran ahead hand in hand.

Gu Yichuan looked at his wife and said, "Let's go home too."

Shen Nankui calmed down his fluctuating emotions and said with a smile, "Okay."

On the way she asked, "How long have you been here, my husband?"

“I was outside when it first started raining.”

Shen Nankui looked up in surprise, "Then why didn't you call me?"

Gu Yichuan smiled and said, "How can I disturb you while you are teaching? I will just secretly watch you from the corner."

Shen Nankui couldn't tell whether he felt happy or sad.

She said disapprovingly, "Husband, you don't have to do this. It's hot and the weather is unpredictable. What if you get sunburned or gonorrhea because of me?"

Gu Yichuan didn't respond to her words, but only said: "Madam, you really taught them well."

Recalling the scene just now, with the wind and rain competing with the sound of reading, he couldn't help but be moved, and his eyes looking at Shen Nankui became more tender.

"If I hadn't come, how could I have witnessed that breathtaking scene just now?"

Shen Nankui shook her head and smiled, "My husband is always flattering me, but I know my own worth."

"How do you know I'm not sincere?"

Shen Nankui didn't want to think too much about this double-entendre sentence, as she was afraid that she was just being overly sentimental.

She quickly changed the subject, "How long do you plan to stay this time, my husband?"

"I'll leave in three to five days."

The two chatted as they arrived home.

After returning to the house, Gu Yichuan took out a stack of books and an oil-paper bag and gave them to her.

"This is a book of miscellaneous notes I found in the bookstore. You can read it to relieve your boredom when you are free. And this is salted plums. I saw that everyone in the city likes to eat them. I bought a pack for you when I passed by. Would you like to try it?"

Shen Nankui smiled and said, "This is a snack for the children. I'll call A Yuan and A Qiao to eat together."

Gu Yichuan stopped her and said, "They have something else. I bought this especially for you."

Shen Nankui paused for a moment.

She didn't understand.

After getting married, Gu Yichuan has always been considerate to me, but it is different from now. Now he seems to speak more and more bluntly.

She knew that the person in his heart was Shen Pingwan, so she tried her best to restrain herself and treat him with respect.

But why did he keep trying?

Could it be that he is attracted to me?

But the last time he went out, he brought Shen Pingwan's portrait with him, but he accidentally lost it.

What is he thinking?

Shen Nankui was confused and puzzled, feeling both anticipation and worry.

She picked up a plum and put it into her mouth. In an instant, her eyes and nose wrinkled into a ball.

"acid."

She ate it, then spit it out, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'll let you down."

Gu Yichuan was a little disappointed, but he still shook his head and said gently: "It's my fault for not asking you about your preferences first. I don't blame you."

at night.

When a couple is apart for a few days, it is inevitable that they will spend some time together to be affectionate.

Gu Yichuan was as loving and caring as ever. While enjoying this ultimate intimacy, he looked at the soft and delicate person under him and secretly wondered why she was resisting him.

Although he couldn't say a bad word about her, he just had this feeling that there was always like a veil between them and they couldn't really get into each other's hearts.

Shen Nankui was like floating in the clouds. Noticing his pause, she opened her eyes and hummed softly with some doubt.

"Ok?"

This voice was so charming that it penetrated into my bones.

Gu Yichuan looked at his wife's flushed cheeks and couldn't hold back any longer. He leaned over and kissed her plump red lips.

The moon has risen high, and spring is still here.

The next day was the private school's ten-day holiday, so Shen Nankui stayed at home unemployed.

Not long after breakfast, Aunt Gu suddenly came to talk to her, and then tried hard to invite her to her house, saying that she wanted to ask her some questions about needlework.

Shen Nankui had nothing to do anyway, so she took her sewing basket and followed her.

Gu Yichuan was still studying hard in the study.

The two little ones were doing their homework in the main room. Both brother and sister were extremely serious because Shen Nankui said that after finishing their homework in the morning, they could go out and play by themselves in the afternoon. The brother and sister hadn't gone out to play for a long time, so they were naturally eager to do so.

The weather was hot and there was little work to do in the fields, so everyone stayed at home. Liang simply called Gu's mother, and they all went to Second Aunt Gu's house together.

Only Song Dong'er said that she had been exposed to the sun in the morning and felt a little dizzy, so she needed to rest at home.

Seeing that everyone in the family had left, Song Dong'er brought a pot of tea to the main room and told the two children to concentrate on their homework and not to be distracted.

Then she brewed another pot of tea and brought it to Gu Yichuan.

Entering the study, she put down the tea with a smile, "Brother Chuan, have a drink and take a break. I have cooled it down beforehand, so the tea is not hot anymore."

Gu Yichuan happened to be thirsty, so he picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, then looked at Song Dong'er again.

I saw that her face was pale and there was sweat on her forehead.

I couldn't help but ask with concern: "Dong'er, what's wrong with you?"

"I am fine."

Song Dong'er shook her head, her face showing a hint of nervousness.

"I heard from my mother that you have a heat stroke. If you feel uncomfortable, go back to your room and rest. I can do these things by myself."

Song Dong'er smiled and said, "It's okay, I just made a pot of tea. Brother Chuan, drink more. This is the herbal tea that my eldest cousin brought back. Drinking it can relieve the heat."

Gu Yichuan nodded, picked up the tea bowl and drank it all.

Song Dong'er stared at him closely, and seemed relieved when she saw him finish his cup of tea.

After drinking his tea, Gu Yichuan said, "Dong'er, go back and have a rest. You don't have to stay here with me."

"Okay." Song Dong'er nodded, but did not move.

Suddenly, Gu Yichuan felt dizzy, and then it was as if all the strength in his body had been taken away. He had no strength left. He fell on the desk with a bang and lost consciousness.

Song Dong'er breathed a sigh of relief.

She stood quietly for a while, and the expression on her face changed from hesitation and fear to determination.

Walked towards Gu Yichuan step by step.
