Chapter 117: 97 Stealing Fragrance (Second Update) _3



A lamp was left on in the room for him.

With the weather warming, the thick blanket was too hot, so she kicked it off halfway.

Xiao Liulang hesitated, then walked over and pulled the blanket over her.

Then he extinguished the lamp, slowly lay down beside her. At first, he faced away from her, but staying in one position too long made his body numb.

So he turned over.

What he didn’t know was that Gu Jiao also turned over at the same time, moving her head onto his pillow.

His lips inadvertently brushed against her cheek.

His mind went blank for a moment, turning completely blank.

The rain outside was getting heavier, hitting the roof tiles with a steady rhythm, but he didn’t hear it, his mind completely focused on his own heartbeat.

Instinctively, he raised his hand, intending to push her away, but his hand didn’t quite hit the mark, approximating a new, strange warmth, his mind exploded…

Gu Jiao had a good night’s sleep.

Perhaps due to the golden ointment and the herbal medicine that Xiao Liulang brought back, she woke up feeling no pain from her wound at all.

However, she found a few dried blood stains on the pillow.

“Huh? Whose blood is this?”

Xiao Liulang was already up, tending to the stove fire.

Gu Jiao, after washing herself, also went to the kitchen.

The morning light was brighter than in winter, and the room was no longer pitch black. Thus, Gu Jiao was able to see Xiao Liulang’s face clearly.

She watched him for a while before blinking and asking, “Did you not sleep well?”

Xiao Liulang, with massive dark circles under his eyes, calmly replied, “I stayed up a little late reading.”

“Oh.” Gu Jiao had gone to bed early and couldn’t confirm his claim.

Remembering something, Gu Jiao added, “By the way, did you get hurt? There’s blood on the pillow.”

Xiao Liulang replied seriously, “It isn’t my blood.”

Gu Jiao asked with confusion, “Then is it mine? But my wound is completely healed.”

Xiao Liulang took a deep look at her and fabricated, “You had a nosebleed because of the heat, I saw it.”

Gu Jiao was very perplexed, “I’ve been drinking houttuynia tea every day, how could I have heat in my body?”

Xiao Liulang replied expressionlessly, “Who knows?”

Xiao Liulang was so serious that it made him difficult to question. Gu Jiao was convinced, she went to the hall and forced down a large bowl of houttuynia tea.

Drinking this much should be enough to cool me down!

Xiao Liulang closed his eyes guiltily and broke into a cold sweat.

During breakfast, Xiao Liulang suddenly remembered something: “I forgot to say yesterday, I found a clan school in town, and I can take Jingkong there today.”

Jingkong, who was suddenly informed about his schooling: “…?!”

“So sudden?” Gu Jiao was serving sweet potato porridge to the old lady and Jingkong.

While sipping the sweet potato porridge, Jingkong eyed his brother-in-law warily.

…It must be a plot by his evil brother-in-law!

“I forgot to tell you yesterday.” Upon returning home, he had genuinely forgotten.

Xiao Liulang continued, “Children from rich families start tutoring at home from the age of five, go to a clan school or private school at six or seven once they can read a thousand characters. Jingkong might be a bit young, but he’s so smart, and since he has already attended classes at the temple, there shouldn’t be a problem.”

Jingkong became even more cautious upon receiving praise from his evil brother-in-law for the first time.

Conspiracy, it’s a conspiracy!

“Where is the school?” Gu Jiao asked.

Xiao Liulang replied: “It’s near Tianxiang Academy. It’s a private school that’s been open for more than ten years. They have a preschool class, and the school hours are similar to mine. He can go to and return from school with me every day.”

And there it is, the evil brother-in-law is starting to separate him from Jiaojiao!

Gu Jiao’s past life had preschools, so she accepted the concept of three-year-olds going to school greatly.

When Gu Jiao wasn’t home, Jingkong was a chatterbox. The old lady suffered from his constant chattering and was more than happy for him to go to school.

Gu Jiao looked at little Jingkong and asked, “Jingkong, do you want to go to school?”

No way!

Jingkong was on the verge of saying this, but he held it back. If he confessed to not wanting to go to school, wouldn’t that make him an aversion-minded child?

The evil brother-in-law was really good at setting traps!

Luckily, I’m smart!

Jingkong replied adorably, “If I go to school, Jiaojiao won’t be able to see me all day!”

Gu Jiao gently patted his little head: “That’s okay, I’ll drop you off in the morning and wait for you at the village entrance in the evening. If I have time, I’ll pick you up from the school.”

With the conversation moving in this direction, Jingkong can’t refuse without looking like an unappreciative child.
