Chapter 138 Your dad really loves you

Under the bright moonlight, Gu Xizhi's face was full of anxiety, her brows were furrowed, and her thin lips were moving as she hurriedly described something to the other person.

Until the person being asked shook their head and left impatiently.

His face was filled with disappointment and worry.

Liang Jiang opened her mouth, but the voice that came out was a little hoarse: "Wang...Gu..."

Then came his alias in Xiliang: "Wu Chen!"

When Gu Xizhi heard the name, he didn't react for a moment. Liang Jiang was calling him. After taking a few steps, he looked at Liang Jiang in astonishment.

The anxiety on his face vanished instantly, his brows relaxed, and he visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Liang Jiang sniffed, and like a bird, spread her wings and flew towards Gu Xizhi. When she got there, she stopped abruptly.

That feeling was even more exciting than rain after a long drought or meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

Gu Xizhi opened her arms, anticipating her reckless actions. Seeing her restrain herself, pause in front of her, freeze for a moment, then curl her hands, flick her sleeves, and pretend to be angry.

"You ran around without even saying goodbye. Don't you know there's danger around you?"

Liang Jiang was deeply moved to see him searching for her so anxiously. She really wanted to throw herself into his arms and wipe her tears and snot on his clothes.

Hearing him yell at me, all I wanted to do was blow my nose and throw it at his feet.

She pouted and said, "I just got lost."

"After all these years, you still haven't improved," Gu Xizhi said irritably. "You have absolutely no sense of direction."

Liang Jiang asked, somewhat puzzled, "How did you know I don't know the way?"

Gu Xizhi coughed lightly: "We've traveled together for so long, and you still can't tell east from west. Do I need to say anything more?"

Liang Jiang felt even more aggrieved: "I was only focused on escaping just now, and I didn't have time to figure out which way to go."

"I've already heard that there was trouble at the Examination Yuan, and someone was causing a ruckus. I guessed it must be you, so I immediately came out to look for you. If I had known, I should have gone with you to see the results."

Liang Jiang quickly retorted, "I wasn't the one causing trouble."

He told Gu Xizhi everything about what happened with the mustache that day.

Gu Xizhi said worriedly, "The fact that the chief examiner dared to obstruct things at the risk of deceiving his superiors shows that Huyan Chao is truly powerful in Xiliang."

Who is this woman? How dare she openly oppose Huyan Chao? She's probably just a young, fearless fool, spouting nonsense.

"Whether she's just bragging or truly has connections, we should be able to find out before the fight. If she can really turn the tide, she might be able to lend us a hand."

Gu Xizhi nodded: "Since you failed the written test, we'll have to find another way to see the princess. We'll go see Shanyu Beixiong again tomorrow. Shall we go back now?"

Liang Jiang nodded and walked back side by side with Gu Xizhi.

After walking for so long, and with his shoes not fitting properly and stuffed with cotton at the front, the man's feet developed blisters and were a bit painful to walk in.

So she walked slowly, trying to conceal it.

Gu Xizhi walked a few steps and realized that she had fallen behind, so she stopped to wait for her.

"tired?"

"A little." Then, trying to sound confident, he added, "It's just that the shoes don't fit."

"Are you hungry too?"

"Yes, I'm so hungry I have no energy."

Gu Xizhi half-squatted down: "I'll carry you on my back."

Liang Jiang was startled: "If this were in the capital, I would be kneeling on the ground in fear and trembling, begging for your forgiveness."

Gu Xizhi remained half-squatting: "This is Xiliang."

"You startled me, and I suddenly don't feel tired anymore," Liang Jiang said, straightening her body nervously.

Gu Xizhi straightened up, looking at her with a playful expression: "Are you afraid of me?"

"sometimes."

"Why?" Gu Xizhi chuckled, "Remember in Fucheng, you were utterly rude to me." Liang Jiang couldn't explain why either. Originally, she had been very carefree when facing him, and even though she already knew he was a prince, she hadn't felt any fear whatsoever.

Now that the two of them have been together for a long time, spending every day together, I'm not as comfortable as I used to be.

It seems that she always unconsciously cares about his thoughts, and when she speaks, she is no longer as unrestrained as before. She is afraid that if she is not careful, she will say the wrong thing, and she is anxious about gains and losses.

She hesitated for a moment: "I'm afraid I'll be too noisy, and Your Highness will find it annoying. Back in Yuhua Mountain, my senior uncle complained that I was too noisy, saying I was always chattering like a flock of sparrows..."

Before she could finish speaking, Gu Xizhi suddenly grabbed her hand, turned around, half-squatted in front of her, and lifted her up on his back with her feet suddenly dangling in the air.

Liang Jiang exclaimed in surprise, "Your Highness, you..."

Gu Xizhi's voice was muffled: "Now that you're riding on my back, are you still afraid of me?"

Liang Jiang lay on his broad back, so frightened that her body stiffened and she dared not move, but she still stubbornly said, "No, I'm not afraid anymore."

Gu Xizhi chuckled softly, "Your voice has changed. I'm not some monster, I'm not going to eat you up."

Liang Jiang honestly admitted, "I was indeed afraid that you would settle old scores with me when you got back, and what if you ate me?"

“That’s a good idea.” Gu Xi knew: “Now I need to fatten you up a bit, so you won’t have any problems later.”

Galangal spat, "I'm not tasty."

Her voice was soft and sweet, with a girl's coquettishness. It was right next to Gu Xizhi's ear, and the warm breath she was breathing seemed to have claws, tickling her heart.

Gu Xizhi's large hand still enveloped Liang Jiang's hand, which was soft, tender, and delicate, seemingly boneless, and should taste quite delicious.

So he blurted out, "Whether it's delicious or not, you'll only know after you try it."

Liang Jiang felt that he wasn't always so cold and aloof, like a coffin lid.

So she relaxed a lot, snuggled up to him, and put her other arm on his shoulder: "My senior brothers and uncles all say that I have thick skin, thicker than a city wall, and they can't bite through it at all."

After saying that, she suddenly felt a little awkward, like she had burned her tongue. Annoyed, she buried her face in his back, feeling burning hot.

Gu Xizhi chuckled, her back trembling slightly.

I really want to try it right now.

Liang Jiang was both embarrassed and ashamed: "Don't laugh!"

"Okay, I won't laugh, I won't laugh." Gu Xizhi replied repeatedly, "You've made me a little hungry, what do you want to eat?"

"Steamed jujube cake!" Liang Jiang sniffed. "I can already smell it."

Gu Xizhi responded and, carrying her on his back, followed the sweet aroma to the stall owner's cart, where he bought a serving of jujube steamed cake.

Gu Xizhi doesn't like sweets.

The stall owner looked at the two of them with surprise, wrapped the steamed rice cake in lotus leaves, tied it with hemp rope, handed it to Liang Jiang, and said with a smile, "Your father really loves you."

She's carrying such a big child on her back.

Gu Xizhi, with the big beard, stiffened.

Liang Jiang pursed her lips, suppressing a laugh, and remained nestled on Gu Xizhi's back. She took the steamed rice cake and then said in a serious tone, "He's not my father, he's my uncle, my own uncle."

Gu Xizhi was taken aback, and as a form of punishment, he gently pinched her leg.

Liang Jiang let out an "ah" sound and rubbed against Gu Xizhi's back like a monkey.

The stall owner believed him: "Your uncle looks like he hasn't gotten married yet."

"How did you know, sir?"

The stall owner looked Gu Xizhi up and down: "Your uncle is a handsome man, but his beard is a bit unkempt, which makes him look fierce. It's obvious that he doesn't have a wife to take care of him."

But then again, if your uncle had married, he certainly wouldn't treat you as well as he does now.

Liang Jiang chuckled: "Then I won't allow him to marry a wife, and I'll only let him be good to me."

The stall owner joked, as if teasing a child: "You can't warm his bed or have his babies."

Liang Jiang's smug smile instantly froze on her face.
