Date with Me
The stars in the sky are silent, and Su Liang on the ground wants to...fight.
"You..." Su Liang took a deep breath and told himself to calm down, "You are seducing me."
A very affirmative tone.
Gu Ling nodded in acknowledgement, and sighed inaudibly, "It seems useless."
"If you don't take off your clothes, what kind of seduction is it?" Su Liang snorted.
Gu Ling was stunned, his hand already on his belt, "Let's... go back to the room?"
"Go back by yourself." Su Liang's eyes have regained their calmness, "If you don't know how to solve your physiological needs by yourself, I can teach you."
Gu Ling:...
"As for what you said about liking me, I believe it. I also know that this matter has a causal relationship with your desire to sleep with me." Su Liang's expression was indifferent.
At first, she was very angry, mainly because of shock.
At this moment, Su Liang regained her reason, and looking back at the whole thing tonight, and the bits and pieces of getting along with Gu Ling before, she believed every word Gu Ling said. He has liked her for a long time, and because he likes her, he has desire, not the other way around.
However, this was too much information for Su Liang to digest at once.
Gu Ling breathed a sigh of relief. He was touched that Su Liang still believed in his character until now, and hope was born in his heart. He felt that this confession could still save him...
But the next moment, he heard Su Liang say, "Let's break up."
Gu Ling's eyes condensed, and he blurted out, "No."
"Anyway, you still lied to me." Su Liang said, "I proposed the marriage, but I thought you thought the same as me at the time, just to solve unnecessary troubles, but I didn't expect you to make a fake play real. All along, the most important foundation for us to live together is honesty. This fake marriage, you gave me what I wanted, but I can't give you what you want, which is unfair to you. Let's cancel it."
"I don't think it's unfair." Gu Ling shook his head, "I don't agree to cancel it."
"It's up to you, I don't care about the name, but I want to break up with you now." Su Liang walked forward after speaking, and when he brushed against Gu Ling's shoulder, he reached out and grabbed his arm.
"Let go." Su Liang frowned.
Gu Ling shook his head, "No."
"You hurt me." Su Liang said.
As soon as Gu Ling loosened his grip, Su Liang ran forward, as if he couldn't wait to get away from him.
Watching Su Liang's back disappear into the night, Gu Ling's heart sank, and then sank again, and he froze in place, forgetting to retract his outstretched hand...
Su Liang believed him, but refused to accept it... This cognition made Gu Ling feel very uncomfortable, as if a big piece was suddenly missing, empty, and the cold wind poured in and penetrated, so cold. He experienced what sadness was for the second time in his life, the first time was when his mother passed away.
Gu Ling finally came back to his senses, and with his hand hanging in the air, he silently made a Vulcan gesture that Su Liang had made to him tonight, and then suddenly let it go, chasing the direction where Su Liang left and disappeared.
Even if he had to leave, he should go. It would be dangerous for Su Liang to go out at night... This thought made Gu Ling worried. But after leaving the Lin Mansion, he didn't know where to find Su Liang. Gu Ling went back and searched everywhere in the Lin Mansion, but didn't see any trace of Su Liang.
After experiencing a disaster, on the first night back home, Lin Qi, who had just fallen asleep, was awakened by Gu Ling who broke into the room and slapped him on the forehead.
"Who?" Lin Qi jumped up from the bed with a look of seeing a ghost. When he saw clearly that it was Gu Ling, he was simply drunk, "Gu Xiaoling, you don't hold Su Xiaoliang to sleep in the middle of the night, pretending to be a ghost to scare me?"
At this moment, Gu Ling, with long black hair and a loose nightgown, his face was extremely pale, and his eyes were as dark as ink, which was indeed a bit scary.
Gu Ling wanted to ask Lin Qi if he had arranged another place for Su Liang to live. Looking at him like this, it was obvious that Su Liang had never been here.
So, Gu Ling turned around and disappeared.
Lin Xi was stunned, and it took a while for him to come back to his senses. He almost suspected that he had just had a dream, and shook his head again and again, "No! It must be Gu Xiaoling who was dreaming! He was sleepwalking!"
Lin Xi lay down again, but he still felt something was wrong, "Gu Xiaoling slept with Su Xiaoliang, and he sleepwalked out, but Su Xiaoliang didn't care? Or didn't she notice it at all? It's too scary, I have to remind her tomorrow, and make sure to let Gu Xiaoling sleep inside at night..."
Lin's house was not there, Gu Ling went out again, passing through the dark streets and alleys, and everywhere was empty, just like his lost heart.
After searching everywhere without any results, Gu Ling suddenly remembered that he and Su Liang took a boat trip during the day. Could it be that Su Liang didn't want to see anyone in anger and went out of the city to calm down on the river?
So, Gu Ling hurried out of the city again and went to the place where he and Su Liang got off the boat during the day.
…
No one at the south gate of Jiaye City dozed off tonight. They were all on high alert, on guard against the Yan people coming back.
On the tower, a patrolling soldier was telling others how Su Liang had made the Yan people's Fan family pay for their blood debt with blood during the day.
Two soldiers shouted regrets that they were not the first to arrive and witness Su Liang's revenge for General Yuan and the famous scene of killing the Fan family father and son.
"General Su?"
"What General Su? Stop it."
The soldiers turned around and saw a beautiful figure appearing not far away, looking at them quietly.
"Su... General Su!" Several soldiers lined up and saluted.
Su Liang nodded slightly, "Yeah. You've worked hard. You continue. I can't sleep, so I came to see."
Several soldiers thought they were going to be reprimanded, but unexpectedly they were told "Thank you for your hard work", which made their hearts feel warm. Of course, what Su Liang said was not to let them continue chatting, but to do business.
Soon, the young general on duty at the South City Gate tonight ran up and reported the situation to Su Liang. There was nothing unusual.
"This is the most important level. You can't take it lightly at any time." Su Liang's tone was not harsh. As he spoke, he suddenly became a little distracted, wondering if Gu Ling would be worried if she ran out of Lin Mansion. ...After a moment of pause, Su Liang looked outside the south city gate and told the young general not to worry about her and to do whatever he had to do.
After walking around the tower, Su Liang saw the flagpole where Fan Tong was hung during the day, as well as a large pool of blood on the ground. No one cleaned up this bloodstain, it was left specifically to comfort the spirit of old General Yuan Ye in heaven.
After walking around again, Su Liang decided to go back to Lin Mansion. If we separate, we should separate, but running around is wrong. She didn't run around, so she should tell Gu Ling.
Halfway through, Su Liang hesitated again. If she just went back and reported to Gu Ling where she had gone, wouldn't it be the same as before? She was in a mess and couldn't accept such a sudden change in the relationship. She felt it was weird, especially when Gu Ling used his beauty to seduce her. It almost gave her goosebumps. It was so scary. He was still the aloof person she knew. A great god? At that time, she just had the thought that she needed to calm down alone...
A trip to the South City Gate for inspection did not make Su Liang's mood any better, because she wanted to stay away from Gu Ling and calm down, but she couldn't help but run back to tell Gu Liang where she had been...
This made Su Liang very distressed. She is too dependent on Gu Ling, to the point where she cannot live independently?
No, she regarded Gu Ling as a friend. Even if she was a friend, she had an obligation to let Gu Ling know that she was not in danger.
Su Liang thought like this and returned to Lin Mansion.
Approaching the courtyard arranged by Lin Yi for her and Gu Ling, Su Liang was thinking that the lights were originally on. If the lights were still on, maybe Gu Ling was there or not, but if the lights went out, he must have fallen asleep... …
Thinking like this, Su Liang hid in the corner and looked in. She didn't know why she was so sneaky, but she just didn't want Gu Ling to know that she was back.
At first glance, I saw that the door was closed and the lights were out.
Su Liang patted her forehead: Wake up, Gu Ling is already asleep, what nonsense is she thinking about!
When he left Lin Mansion again, Su Liang was even more angry. Damn it, even if they weren't lovers, they were still friends. Gu Ling didn't worry that she would be caught by the Yanguo people if she ran out? She really doesn't know him well enough, she's just pretending to be aloof, she's just a sultry guy!
As a second-grade military general who went south under the emperor's orders, Su Liang came to inspect the South City Gate twice that night. The second time, he even joined the patrol team outside the city, which made the defenders at the South City Gate very moved and deeply admired.
…
On the other side, Gu Ling didn't know that the wind blew out the lamp and blew the door shut, causing Su Liang to mistakenly think that he was sleeping.
When Gu Ling arrived at the Liuxian River, where he and Su Liang disembarked during the day, he could not find the small boat they had been on.
Could it be that Su Liang really took a boat to relax... Gu Ling frowned and stood by the river, letting the cool breeze ruffle his hair. It was the first time Su Liang came to Kasyapa City. Apart from the Lin family, she only knew Yuan Pei and a few other generals, but they were not friends with each other. With her temperament, it was impossible for her to break into other people's homes at night.
The more he thought about it, the more Gu Ling felt that Su Liang was floating somewhere on the river in that small boat, and he had to find her. It was very cold in the second half of the night. Her clothes were thin and she would freeze if she stayed outside.
With this thought, Gu Ling used Qinggong to leap and fly along the river, looking for Su Liang and the boat.
He went all the way east, even beyond the farthest point where the boat drifted when they fell asleep yesterday, and found no trace of Su Liang.
The sky turned white, and Gu Ling turned around with a lonely expression, feeling that he might have been looking in the wrong direction from the beginning...
When Gu Ling turned his back to the morning sun and returned to the place where he started, the morning mist wet his hair. He did not look to the west of Liuxian River, but looked towards Kasyapa City: maybe Su Liang had gone back.
Gu Ling decided to go back and take a look first.
…
Su Liang followed the patrol team around the city and didn't return to the city until dawn, but found nothing unusual.
When entering the city, Su Liang met Yuan Pei, and he was also stunned.
"General Su." Yuan Pei bowed slightly and saluted Su Liang.
"What's the matter with Young Master Yuan here?" Su Liang looked at the wooden bowl in Yuan Pei's hand, which still contained water, and was a little puzzled. Lin Xuan did not ask his children and grandchildren to inherit the mantle, and neither did Yuan Ye. Yuan Pei did not serve in the army. He was a scholar, but he did not participate in the imperial examination.
Yuan Pei said in a deep voice, "I want to take some of Fan Tong's blood and bring it back to enshrine it in front of Grandpa's memorial tablet."
Su Liang thought of the pool of blood on the tower and sighed, "Go ahead."
"Thank you so much, General Su, for what happened yesterday," Yuan Pei said.
Su Liang shook his head, "This is my responsibility. Mr. Yuan, please express your condolences."
After saying this, Su Liang leaned over and picked up a leaf stuck on his shoes. Yuan Pei took the wooden bowl and walked up to the tower.
…
Lin Wei was woken up by his mother.
"Mom, I'm injured, can't I sleep a little longer?" Lin Wei closed his eyes and refused to open them.
Lin's mother grabbed Lin's uninjured arm and said, "Get up quickly. There are distinguished guests at home, and you have to entertain them."
Lin Wei suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, "Dear guest...Gu Xiaoling, right? He was sleepwalking last night and scared me to death!"
Mother Lin was stunned, "Sleepwalking? Don't talk nonsense, how could Marquis Gu sleepwalk? You dreamed, right?"
Lin Qi held his forehead, "Mom, I am your biological son."
However, thinking about telling Su Liang about Gu Ling's sleepwalking in the middle of the night, Lin Qi still got up and planned to go find them after packing up. In addition, before going to bed last night, he had thought about how to take them to play in Jiaye City, and he had to inform them of his carefully prepared plan and would not accept rejection.
…
Su Liang left the Lin Mansion secretly and avoided people when she came back, otherwise it would be difficult to explain.
She must go back to that courtyard because her luggage is there and she must change her clothes.
When entering the courtyard, Su Liang thought that she still had to separate from Gu Ling for a while. She was too confused now and couldn't figure out how their relationship would develop. She needed to calm down and couldn't see Gu Ling's calmness...
When she reached the door, Su Liang took a deep breath and raised her hand to knock on the door, "It's me."
After a while, the door opened.
Su Liang looked at Gu Ling who appeared in front of her, thinking that she really had no misunderstanding last night. After she ran out, this guy went to sleep. At this moment, his hair was tied up by a jade crown, and his clothes were neat and tidy. He had changed! There was no sadness on his face that his confession was rejected! There was no imperfection in his body, but she wanted to hit him...
"Come in." Gu Ling glanced at Su Liang, then turned around, his voice very calm.
Su Liang walked in and saw that the bundle on the table yesterday was gone, so he frowned and asked, "Where is my luggage?"
"I put the clothes in the closet. Half for each of you, yours is on the right." Gu Ling sat down at the table, poured a glass of warm water, motioned Su Liang to sit down, and put the glass in front of her.
Su Liang felt something was strange, but she was really thirsty, so she picked up the water cup and drank it quickly, then her face suddenly changed, "You didn't put drugs in the cup for me, did you?"
Gu Ling's face was a little dark, "I really want to... but do you think I'm that kind of person?"
"You can do things like seducing me, who knows what kind of person you are?" Su Liang snorted, put down the teacup, took the teapot, and poured another cup to drink.
Of course she knew that Gu Ling couldn't drug her, but she just couldn't help wanting to complain...
"Let's talk." Gu Ling watched Su Liang drink the third glass of water before speaking.
"Yeah." Su Liang nodded, "We have to separate. What happened last night made me very uncomfortable. I can't pretend that nothing happened."
To be honest, she couldn't look at Gu Ling with the same eyes as before when she was sitting in front of him now. As soon as she saw him, the scene of him seducing her last night appeared in her mind...
"No." Gu Ling said very straightforwardly.
Su Liang frowned, "God, I thought you were a reasonable person. We agreed to a fake marriage, but you had ulterior motives and kept it from me."
"I want to reason with you." Gu Ling said, taking something out of his arms and placing it in front of Su Liang, "Please fulfill your promise."
Su Liang just lifted the water cup, and it shook suddenly, and the water spilled on her hand and flowed down through her fingers...
"You...you are...playing rogue!" Su Liang slammed the table and stood up, her face red with anger.
Because there was an exquisite wooden sign on the table, with three words "Forgive you" engraved on it, and the signature was, two water drops.
The meaning is very simple: Su Liang forgives Gu Ling.
"This is what you gave me. You promised that no matter what you were angry with me for, you would unconditionally forgive me once." Gu Ling looked at Su Liang with a serious expression, "I ask you to fulfill your promise now."
Su Liang was so angry that he laughed, "You even carry this thing with you? Very good, I'll fulfill my promise. I forgive you for what happened last night. But I still want to separate from you. It has nothing to do with what happened last night. I don't want to live with you anymore! I don't want to play anymore!"
"No." Gu Ling opened her thin lips slightly, took out a second sign from her bosom, and placed it in front of Su Liang. There were four words engraved on it: "Any request will be granted."
Su Liang stared blankly, and her mind flashed with the words she said to Gu Ling when she held up the sign, "Any request will be granted, please accept it, great god. No matter when and where, as long as you show this sign and make any request to me, I will never say anything. One chance, use it and it will be discarded."
"I know you have a good memory, and I know you keep your word." Gu Ling looked at Su Liang and said.
Su Liang grabbed the two signs and wanted to smash them on Gu Ling's face, "What do you want? Are you using this sign to ask me to sleep with you?"
Gu Ling shook her head, "I just want you to give me a chance and fall in love with me."
"I accept it now. I'll break up with you tomorrow, and it won't be considered a breach of promise." Su Liang snorted.
Gu Ling just looked at her quietly without saying anything.
The atmosphere became silent, but Su Liang became more and more irritated. After a long time, she slapped the two signs on the table, "You have to pay for what you have done! I only agree to try, if it doesn't work, forget it!"
"I can do it." Gu Ling stood up and said, and a water lily suddenly bloomed in her dark eyes, rippling with a light smile, and the corners of her lips also curled up slightly.
Su Liang looked at Gu Ling and was distracted for a moment. After a moment, she reacted and grabbed the card of "whatever you want" and threw it at Gu Ling's chest, "Is it great that you are beautiful? What are you laughing at? Seducing again!"
Gu Ling nodded, "My skills are still shallow, I will practice hard until I succeed."
Su Liang turned and walked out, "I don't want to see you."
Gu Ling walked in front of her, "I'll ask someone to prepare the water for bathing."
Su Liang watched Gu Ling disappear at the door, and the door closed from the outside. She looked puzzled. Indeed, she wanted to take a shower and change clothes immediately. Could it be that someone could really read minds and kept it a secret from her?
"Dating... what the hell..." Su Liang lay on the table, resting her head on the two wooden signs, and sighed, "Asshole, they are still preparing for a rainy day, too bad!"
...
Gu Ling first ordered the servants of the Lin Mansion to bring hot water, and then went to the corner of the courtyard to pull out Lin Xi who was eavesdropping.
"Gu Xiaoling, what are you doing?" Lin Qi snorted, "Be polite to me, or I'll spread your secret."
Gu Ling's pretty eyebrows slightly frowned, "What did you hear?"
Lin Qi smiled, his expression ambiguous, "I didn't hear it clearly, it was intermittent, but I already know what happened! You didn't behave well last night, and Su Xiaoliang ran away, right? That's why you went out to find her in a daze, and scared me. I didn't expect that Gu Xiaoling, you are so beautiful, but... It's okay, I won't laugh at you, Su Xiaoliang agreed to try with you again, she is a doctor, she will definitely cure you..."
Before Lin Qi finished speaking, Gu Ling took two steps back, then raised his foot and kicked Lin Qi out.
A smooth parabola passed over the courtyard wall, and Lin Qi landed, just not pressing on his injured right arm...
Lin Qi sighed, "Gu Xiaoling, you actually calculated my landing posture? With such abnormal strength, he can't conquer his own wife. God is fair."
If Gu Ling heard what Lin Qi said, he would definitely kick him like a sepak takraw, let him enjoy the joy of flying freely, and ensure that his injuries would not be aggravated...
...
After driving away the noisy Lin Qi, Gu Ling turned around and looked at the closed door. He could imagine how much Su Liang wanted to hit him at this moment.
However, when he returned to the city early in the morning, he accidentally heard someone say that Su Liang went on patrol last night, so he came back to change clothes without worry. When he saw the two wooden signs hidden in the luggage, he decided: Su Liang wanted to run, no way, no window!
-------Off topic------
Su Xiaoliang cried and begged for monthly tickets O(∩_∩)O haha~
