Chapter 104 Late Admission

"Do you think it's Da Xian who's knocking on the door?" Gu Jinheng walked into the room, glanced at the medicine on the table that had not yet been put away, and his eyes paused on the bloodstained cloth.

Pei Nai rarely speaks harshly to others, unless it is someone like Daxian who is too clingy and often annoys her.

Besides, the fact that she had just gone out with Da Xian could not be hidden from Gu Jinheng and Han Ruize, so it was normal for him to guess that it was Da Xian.

Pei Nai didn't answer him, but glanced at the food box in his hand, "What's the matter?"

Gu Jinheng placed the Huanghuali box on the table and said in a low voice, "I remember you really liked eating steamed cheese with sugar, so you learned how to make it from the military chef. He used to be a royal chef in the palace, but he wanted to be a soldier, so he took the initiative to ask for a transfer. So this is a palace recipe, and you should be used to it."

After saying that, he looked at Pei Nai's face again and added, "But this is my first time making it, so I don't know how it tastes. You can try it."

Pei Nai was speechless for a moment.

Gu Jinheng opened his lips slightly, then pursed them again, lowered his eyes to look at the wound on Pei Nai's waist, and asked again: "Has the bleeding stopped? Does it hurt?"

"There's still some bleeding, but not much," Pei Nai said casually.

Gu Jinheng frowned and took out a green-glazed medicine bottle from his arms. "The wounds cut by the Xihan Knife are not easy to heal. Apply some of this before going to bed. Remember to change the medicine again tomorrow morning."

"What is this?" Pei Nai asked.

"I asked them to gather some herbs and mixed them myself. They can help you dispel the evil energy of the Xihan Knife in your body." Gu Jinheng handed the medicine bottle to her.

Pei Nai took it, stroking the medicine bottle in his hand, and looked at the Huanghuali food box on the table, feeling a little sad, "Why do you have to do this?"

Gu Jinheng lowered his head and looked at the ground. "I just want to be better to you, but you don't really need me now. I don't know what I should do to make you happy."

"I've already said that we have no relationship anymore and I won't bother you. Your big thing has been accomplished, and I also have responsibility for Yue Cang's matter. I will solve it together. What's the point of you doing this for me?" Pei Nai asked puzzled.

She could no longer believe that Gu Jinheng was sincere, but he no longer needed her help. There was nothing in Pei Nai that was worth his use, and his behavior didn't make sense.

Gu Jinheng shook his head in denial. He was much taller than Pei Nai, and just looking directly into her eyes was like looking down from above.

There was no sense of oppression, because the tenderness in his eyes was mixed with the sadness brought by guilt.

His voice was low but firm, "You said you want to start all over again, so this time I will pursue you."

Then, she heard the words that she had never been able to wait for in her previous life.

"I don't dislike you, I just thought you didn't care about this before, so I never said it. Blame me for not cherishing you. It's my fault."

After thinking for a while, he said with some grievance in his voice, "You gave me a home, gave me the care I never had before, and we are together day in and day out. How can I not like you?"

It was hard to imagine that the dignified Duke Duan Ding, the famous Gu Jinheng, would humble himself so much and speak to her with a pleading tone.

Even though they had slept in the same bed for five years, she had never seen it.

"It's too late, after everything that happened." Pei Nai gritted his teeth and hardened his heart, "You go, I will eat the steamed cheese, we can't waste food."

Gu Jinheng asked again: "Can I sit for a while and watch you eat?" He seemed to have thought of something and then added: "I won't talk and will stay quiet. I won't annoy you."

Pei Nai was amused. "You didn't think I liked your muteness before, did you?"

Unexpectedly, Gu Jinheng nodded and his eyes fell back to the ground. "Many times when I talked to you, you frowned. I thought you hated my voice." "No, your voice is very nice." Pei Nai couldn't bear to hurt his confidence.

Gu Jinheng suddenly looked at her, and his eyes, which had been filled with sorrow for a long time, showed some color, as if he had finally regained his breath after being drowned for a long time, and he seemed to care about it very much.

But Pei Nai immediately added: "What I hate is that when you were my husband in the past, you didn't do a lot of things. Now it's too late. You have to wait until I die again and I have no will, before you rush to do it."

Pei Nai laughed at himself, "It makes me feel that my past self was not worth it."

Every word she said was pounding on his heart. Gu Jinheng's eyelids drooped again. "It's my fault. You can't say that about yourself."

Pei Nai didn't know how to respond, so he didn't say anything.

Seeing her intention to expel him, Gu Jinheng was afraid of making her angry again, so he could only say, "Then you eat, I'll go back first."

Pei Nai almost opened the door for him.

Gu Jinheng walked out, but his steps were slower than usual, as if this way he could stay a little longer.

He pushed the door open and when he turned around to close the door for Pei Nai, his face turned pale, as if he was in great pain.

He looked at Pei Nai and said, "The traitor in the army has not been found yet. You should be careful at night. The wind is strong in the mountains. Cover yourself with a blanket when you sleep. You have the habit of exposing your legs, so you will catch a cold easily."

"Got it, let's go." Pei Nai complained in his heart. After her voice recovered, she became more talkative. Who did she learn to nag from? Could it be from her past self?
Gu Jinheng closed the door for her and turned to leave.

Pei Nai let out a long sigh, shook her head, and stopped thinking about anything. She undressed and undressed, and applied the medicine that Gu Jinheng had just given her.

Pulling open the Huanghuali box on the table, Pei Nai found a porcelain bowl of steamed sugar curd. The white and glutinous soup base was sprinkled with osmanthus powder and had a faint aroma of wine. He tasted it mouthful by mouthful with a spoon.

I don't know whether he has natural talent or the military chef who was a royal chef taught him well.

After tasting it and rinsing his mouth, Pei Nai went to bed to rest.

In the middle of the night, she was awakened by the rustling noise outside. People who learn martial arts are naturally sensitive to sounds, and Pei Nai is used to it. It was only during the five years that she sat at the same table with Gu Jinheng that she could sleep soundly every day because of his pressure.

Thinking of him inexplicably again, Pei Nai sighed, put on his clothes, got up and went out to check.

Facing the moonlight, I could see clearly that they were just two wild rabbits that had broken into the yard.

She was about to close the door when she suddenly noticed that the wind was blowing strangely.

She guessed something and stretched out her hand, feeling the very faint pressure looming around her house.

Gu Jinheng deliberately controlled the Qi Gong and did not let it enter the room so as not to disturb her. This was obviously to protect her. If someone with bad intentions came, he would know it at the first time.

Pei Nai frowned. It was such a long distance and he had to perform Yin Gong for such a long time. Wouldn’t he be tired?

Then she patted the pressure, as if she was dissatisfied, and also called him to take it back and have a good rest.

The pressure from Huo Jiang's Yin Gong faded, and Pei Nai closed the door with satisfaction.

But she didn't know that after she left, the pressure would fill the house again, wrapping it like a deep hug, even more than before.
