Chapter 356 Cursing in the Street
"I miss you, I miss you so much that I can't sleep at night and I can't eat." Gu Fengyue sniffed the scent of the person in front of him. It was a clean soapberry fragrance. She must have washed up before coming to see him and even changed into new clothes. For the first time, Gu Fengyue knew what it meant to enjoy something.
Song Chunlin proudly hugged Gu Fengyue's waist. Hmm, she looked a little thinner. Didn't she eat well when he was away?
"Why have you lost weight again? Didn't I tell you to eat well and sleep well? I told you that I gained weight during the New Year. The new clothes my mother made for me are a bit tight. Or these ones you made for me... No, why did you make my clothes too big?" Song Chunlin suddenly withdrew from Gu Fengyue's arms and stared at Gu Fengyue with a bad look.
Gu Fengyue didn’t know why the other party’s mood took a sudden turn for the worse. Was it just because the clothes were too big?
"No, I am innocent. I was just thinking that maybe you would grow taller after the New Year. I definitely didn't suspect that you would get fat due to gluttony..."
It would have been fine if Gu Fengyue didn't explain. The more he explained, the darker Song Chunlin's face became. He originally wanted to tease Gu Fengyue and ask him if he had remembered the size wrong or something, but what did he say in the end?
He said he was fat!
You are fat because you are greedy!
Song Chunlin refused to admit that he had gained weight. He stopped listening to Gu Fengyue's explanation and waved his little fist to hit Gu Fengyue.
Gu Fengyue didn't dare to hide, nor did he dare to fight back. He could only protect his face and begged Song Chunlin not to slap him in the face.
"Don't hit me in the face. It hurts you to hit me in the face."
"Humph, I don't feel bad. You're wearing soft armor and it hurts when I hit my hands."
When he heard Song Chunlin say that his hand hurt, he subconsciously wanted to take off the soft armor on his body. When Song Chunlin saw his actions, he was so amused that he even forgot that he was going to hit him.
"What are you doing, taking off your clothes in broad daylight?"
"You said your hands hurt when you were beaten, so I'll take them off and then you can beat me, and then my hands won't hurt anymore."
Song Chunlin: “…”Brother, why didn’t I realize that you were a love-brained person before?
"Alright, alright, stop taking it off. I was just kidding. Besides, your body is full of hard muscles. It will hurt no matter how I hit you."
Song Chunlin stopped the other person from taking off his soft armor, and then helped him straighten his collar.
Gu Fengyue lowered her head slightly and looked at his profile which was working seriously. He had been wanting to do something since they met just now. Song Chunlin seemed to have noticed Gu Fengyue's gaze, and his hands that were tidying up his clothes slowly stopped. He looked up and saw Gu Fengyue's lowered brows.
Their eyes met, their lips touched, and the temperature in the study gradually rose. It was unknown how much time had passed before the two reluctantly separated.
Song Chunlin buried his head in Gu Fengyue's arms.
"Why are you embarrassed?"
In response to Gu Fengyue, Song Chunlin grabbed a layer of flesh on his arm and twisted it hard.
Gu Fengyue felt pain but laughed out loud.
Gu Fengyue forgot about the official documents he had originally planned to read. No work was more important than accompanying his future wife. He sorted out the documents and took Song Chunlin out. Tomorrow was the Lantern Festival. The festive atmosphere of the Lantern Festival in the border town was not as strong as that in the capital, but there were lanterns hung on the streets, and it still looked festive.
Song Chunlin and Gu Fengyue were walking hand in hand on the street. The people of Baita City were open-minded. Plus, it was the eve of the Lantern Festival, so there were many couples like Song Chunlin on the street, both men and women, men and men, and women and women.
Song Chunlin hadn't planned to go shopping, but since he was already there, he had no choice but to go shopping reluctantly.
Most of the things displayed by the street vendors were shipped from the capital or Jiangnan. Song Chunlin looked at them in amazement but did not buy anything, so the owners of the vendors kept hinting to Gu Fengyue.
"Sir, won't you buy one for your young master?"
Song Chunlin also imitated the boss and asked Gu Fengyue: "This military lord, are you really not going to buy one for your little master?"
Gu Fengyue looked at him and couldn't help pinching his soft cheeks: "No, my little master is not very obedient, so I won't buy it for him."
When Song Chunlin heard that Gu Fengyue did not agree with him, he immediately became anxious and grabbed his arm and refused to let go.
"No, you can't do it out of the ordinary. You have to do it according to my words."
In the eyes of those who know the situation, this conversation between the two is just flirting, and the boss next to them is also watching the lovers happily. But some people are blind and regard the fun between the couple as some kind of dirty deal, and they want to speak out to stop it out of righteousness.
"You are such a shameless guy! Sima Gu has already said that he doesn't want to buy it, why are you still forcing him to do it?"
A clear girl's voice sounded behind the two of them. Song Chunlin and Gu Fengyue looked behind them at the same time, and saw a girl with bright eyes and white teeth standing behind them. There was anger in her eyes. Song Chunlin was sure that the anger was directed at him. The malice in the girl's eyes fell on the two people's clasped hands like substance.
Gu Fengyue seemed to recognize the girl. Just as he was about to speak, the other party threw a large string of bullets at him, leaving the two parties confused.
"Hey, little guy over there, don't you know that Gu Sima already has an engagement? His fiancé is a famous archer who protects the country. How dare you seduce Gu Sima? Aren't you afraid that the archer will shoot you in the head with an arrow?"
The girl looked at Song Chunlin with disdain, and seeing that he showed no sign of guilt, she began to wonder, could it be that this young man really pleased Gu Fengyue so much that he felt so confident.
Song Chunlin noticed that there was something wrong with the look in her eyes when she looked at Gu Fengyue, so he rolled his eyes and immediately pretended to be scared and hid behind Gu Fengyue, with only the top of his head and one eye showing, looking timidly at the girl opposite him.
Gu Fengyue finally took over Song Chunlin's "play" this time. He did not immediately explain Song Chunlin's identity to the girl. Instead, he nodded slightly and said lightly: "Thank you Miss Lu for reminding us. We will leave first."
Gu Fengyue pulled Song Chunlin and turned to leave, but the girl named Lu obviously didn't want to let them go. She caught up with them in just a few steps, so fast that even the maid behind her couldn't keep up.
"Wait, Sima Gu, wait a minute. Aren't you afraid that what you did today will be spread to the capital by someone with ulterior motives, and will reach the ears of your fiancé? Is it worth it to bear a reputation of being treacherous for someone who relies on his good looks to get close to the rich and powerful?"
Gu Fengyue was already a little angry. Why was this woman so nosy? Was this the kind of girl that their aristocratic family raised to have?
She didn't even know who Song Chunlin was, but she relied on her status to accuse others in a condescending manner. If she had any common sense, she wouldn't do such an outrageous thing.
Moreover, her curses were so harsh that Song Chunlin originally just thought it was funny, but now he was very, very angry. His way of getting angry was to grab Gu Fengyue by the collar, pull him to bend over, and then question him.
"Who is this? Where did you get this kind of thing? Go and tell her to stop showing up in front of you and me. Otherwise, I won't show mercy to her just because she's a girl."
Gu Fengyue patted his hands helplessly, signaling him to be patient, and Song Chunlin reluctantly let go of his collar.
When Gu Fengyue faced Miss Lu, his expression changed again.
"Miss Lu, you are meddling in other people's business. I call you Miss Lu because you are from the same clan as my uncle. If you continue to be like today, not knowing the seriousness of the matter and interfering in my private affairs, I don't mind sending you back to the Lu family and asking your elders how your family educates their children and why they always interfere in other people's affairs."
This was almost like scolding Miss Lu directly. It was the first time in her life that someone had treated her like this, and in public. Gu Fengyue spoke in a loud voice, and many passers-by had stopped to watch.
The maid behind Miss Lu took a step forward in dissatisfaction and yelled at Gu Fengyue: "I'm afraid that Sima Gu has been bewitched by this little devil. Our young lady is obviously willing to advise you for the sake of your reputation. Why don't you appreciate her kindness?"
Gu Fengyue snorted coldly: "Who the hell are you?"
There was murderous intent in his words, which frightened the maid so much that she felt a chill on her back and could not help but take a step back. It was as if at this moment she realized that the other party was the decisive and ruthless Sima of the current dynasty, and not one of those rich young men in her hometown who could be controlled by a few words from the young lady.
"Ms. Lu, considering your last name is Lu, I will not mind your malicious accusation against my fiancé, but from now on, do not let me see you or anyone from your Lu family in Baita City."
After saying this, he left with Song Chunlin without caring whether the other party understood it or not.
When the people around saw that the second protagonist had left, they gradually dispersed.
Only Miss Lu stood there stiffly, staring at the backs of the two men with hatred in her eyes.
"What did he mean?"
"Ms. Hui, Sima Gu wants us to leave the White Tower."
"No, not this one, but the one before it. What do you mean by that I framed his fiancé? I was clearly scolding that guy..."
Little brother?
Yes, isn’t the legendary national sharpshooter a young man?
"No, that's not right. How could that sharpshooter be such a frail little fellow? Shouldn't he be an ugly fellow nine feet tall, strong and sturdy? How, how could it be..."
How could he be so beautiful, with a pretty face and fair skin? With his thin arms and legs, how could he be the sharpshooter who could kill many people among the barbarians?
Miss Lu behind him fell into self-doubt, while Song Chunlin, who was walking in front, crossed his arms angrily and refused to let Gu Fengyue hold his hand.
Gu Fengyue smiled bitterly and cursed the nosy Miss Lu several times in her heart.
The two of them walked all the way to the pancake stall they had visited last time. Unexpectedly, the owner of the pancake stall still remembered them. As soon as he saw them, he asked if they wanted two large pancakes.
Song Chunlin felt much better and asked the boss with a smile: "Boss, do you still remember me?"
The boss also chuckled and said, "I remember, of course I remember. The last time you two came to my place, you bought some pancakes to wrap the side dishes with. Now, many customers have learned from you. Now our two stalls are doing much better business. Many people come here specifically to buy pancakes to wrap the side dishes with."
Song Chunlin sat at his seat and looked around. It was true. The diners at the table next to them had the familiar cold shredded potatoes, lamb, and a plate of pickles on the table. The shredded potatoes and meat were placed on the pancakes, and some pickles were added. Song Chunlin noticed with his sharp eyes that one of them had even added hot sauce to his pancake. He rolled up the whole pancake and put it in his mouth. The pancake had a rich texture with the vegetables, and the pickles and hot sauce made it even more flavorful. The diners enjoyed the meal with relish.
Song Chunlin was drooling at what he saw and immediately ordered the same set meal as the table next to him. He even asked where the hot sauce was.
The boss explained to him: "Young Master, if you want to eat hot sauce, you can go to the front and buy the hot sauce made by that old lady Niu. Her hot sauce is the most fragrant on the whole street, not too spicy, and the price is reasonable. People around here like to buy it back to eat with rice."
Now, without Song Chunlin's instructions, Gu Fengyue ran to the front to buy hot sauce. Soon he came back with three or four bottles of hot sauce in his arms.
"Why did you buy so much?"
"I'm afraid you like it, so I bought more."
Okay, that's a valid reason.
Song Chunlin opened a can of hot sauce, which was sealed with greaseproof paper. After removing the greaseproof paper, a fragrant aroma came out. It was indeed fragrant but not spicy. The hot sauce had a garlic flavor, with a stronger garlic flavor. Less chili was used, which is very suitable for people who can't eat spicy food.
Song Chunlin used chopsticks to pick up some and put it on the pancake. He took a bite and found it was indeed delicious.
"Mm, it's delicious. Since the hot sauce is delicious, I forgive you for attracting so many women."
Gu Fengyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "A bottle of hot sauce can make you forgive me, then you are too easy to talk to."
Song Chunlin rolled his eyes at him and said, "Tsk, that's because I have a good temper. You should cherish my good temper, okay?"
"I know, I know." Gu Fengyue smiled and nodded repeatedly. Looking at his mouth full of hot sauce, she did not forget to take out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth.
The two of them were having a great time here, but in a corner not far away, Miss Lu, who had been following them, hid in the corner, looking at the two people who were in love with each other with indignation, and the handkerchief in her hand was about to be torn into pieces.
The maid followed beside her, trembling with fear. She was completely frightened by what Gu Fengyue had just said. The other party was the Grand Marshal of the current dynasty, and her master was just a fifth-rank minor official. He was not on the same level as the Grand Marshal at all. If she really angered Gu Fengyue, not to mention the two of them, she was afraid that the master would also be in trouble.
