Jiu Ge’s Beloved Spirit

——————————————————————————

His gentle eyebrows seemed to be covered with a soft veil under the slanting sunset.

Under the orange light, her snow-colored skin was still gleaming white, not stained by any warm tones.

He sat quietly, his eyes empty and silent,

But the eyebrows and eyes are soft, with a smile, very gentle.

Yun Si moved a stool and sat next to him, holding a book in her hand and reading to him.

Word by word, neither urgent nor slow,

The sound seemed to be intertwined with the brilliant sunset, spreading throughout the courtyard.

The breeze in the evening was very cool, blowing the bamboos in the corner, making a rustling sound.

The quiet female voice in the air complements the breeze,

The breeze blew through the entire small courtyard, but it left behind a sense of tranquility all over the place.

Zhu Qing stood at the door of the courtyard, frozen for a moment.

For a moment,

He didn't even know if he should go in and break the silence.

at last,

After hesitating for a few seconds, he walked in.

"Sir, Zhu Qing is back."

Zhuqing salutes.

at the same time,

Yun Si's reading stopped.

"Sir, Zhu Qing came back a little late. Are you hungry?"

Gu Zisu slowly shook his head, still gentle, "The housekeeper came just now."

Zhuqing: "...Huh?"

Yun Si put down the book and explained with a smile, "The housekeeper is here to deliver food to the young master."

"The meal was very sumptuous, and the young master was very full."

Hearing this, Zhu Qing's eyes widened, "Butler?!?"

His tone of disbelief was like being struck by lightning.

"This... this... how is this possible!?"

He looked at Gu Zisu,

Gu Zisu's lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something.

But he still only nodded and admitted mildly.

"Don't worry, the young master has left a copy for you."

Yun Si raised her chin and motioned for him to go into the side room to eat.

Zhuqing still couldn't believe it, "It was really sent by the housekeeper?"

It can't be, it's poisoned, right?

"If you don't believe it, just go and see it yourself?"

Looking at his expression and his previous behavior, Yun Si could probably guess how badly that fat lady treated Gu Zisu.

It’s no wonder it’s so bad...

Zhu Qing was so wary when he first heard that she was sent by the housekeeper.

Yun Si watched Zhu Qing run into the side room very quickly.

She thought for a moment, remained silent for a moment, and turned to look at Gu Zisu with a hint of suspicion.

It makes sense that Zhuqing is hostile to her.

But...why didn't he show it?

He said nothing from the beginning when she said she was sent by the housekeeper.

He naturally allowed her to stay and did not drive her away.

After spending a day with him, he didn't avoid her intentionally and ate the food she brought.

Was this because he was careless or was he deliberately observing her performance?

"Master, aren't you surprised?"

Yun Si's hand rested on the armrest of the wheelchair and slowly covered his hand.

He slowly came closer, his eyes clear and a little doubtful.

"Aren't you afraid that the housekeeper will poison you?"

Gu Zisu seemed to feel her approach.

He raised his lips slightly and turned his face sideways.

By coincidence, he touched the tip of Yun Si's nose.

The two people's breaths intertwined and they were very close,

He seemed to feel something, and his long eyelashes trembled slightly.

There was still nothing in Kong Jie's gray pupils.

It was as if all the emotions were hidden under a layer of darkness and couldn't be seen at all.
