“Long Yi!”
It wasn’t until someone called out to him that the Dragon Shadow Guard finally let go of Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao didn’t dare stay a moment longer and scurried away like a startled rabbit!
By the time Gu Jiao returned to Bishui Alley, Xiao Liulang had also come home from his duty at the Hanlin Academy, washing his writing brush in a basin of water by the well.
Gu Jiao approached slowly.
Heaven knows she was terrified that the Dragon Shadow Guard would catch up to her, unleashing the survival instincts she’d honed in her previous life fleeing after stealing military supplies. She plonked down on the small stool opposite Xiao Liulang, gasping for air.
Xiao Liulang gave her a puzzled look and asked, “What happened? Did something happen?”
“…Nothing,” Gu Jiao replied listlessly, “just played with… charcoal pencils all afternoon.”
Xiao Liulang wasn’t surprised by her cross-dressing; she often went out wearing Gu Yan’s clothes, and the Yao Family had even tailored several sets specifically for her.
His gaze fell upon Gu Jiao’s soot-covered hands, assuming she had just been playing with little Jing Kong, not suspecting anything. However, his expression became distant for a moment, as if recalling something from long ago.
Gu Jiao noticed Xiao Liulang’s daydreaming, leaned forward, and asked, “Husband, what’s wrong?”
Xiao Liulang snapped back to reality and fetched another basin of water for her to wash her hands.
“Nothing,” he said, looking down, “I used to play with them too when I was young.”
But I wasn’t really playing, I was being captured and tormented!
Gu Jiao silently vowed that her little burlap sack would come in handy one day!
Yikes—
My hands are so sore.
The next day, after the family finished breakfast, those who had school went to school, and those who had duties went their ways. Gu Jiao happened to have a house call that morning for a patient whose wound she had sutured a few days before; she was going to remove the stitches, and it was on the way to the Hanlin Academy.
