Chapter 3736: Rebirth of the King's Pet: Feeding the Wolf (7)
"Be careful and don't be stubborn. I'll be back as soon as possible." Gu Jingxian didn't know what Ran Bai was going to do, and he couldn't stop her. He turned the roasted sweet potato over: "...Don't look at it. You have to wait a while before you can eat it."
"Why did you roast it for so long?" Ran Bai looked a little unhappy and cold.
Gu Jingxian felt that she was making a veiled attack.
"Try it first?" He asked with a smile.
Ran Bai nodded.
The roasted sweet potato was very hot. Gu Jingxian blew on it and carefully fed Ran Bai a bite.
The wolf cub was already used to being fed. She took a big bite with a very natural expression. She whimpered because of the heat, but she didn't spit it out and swallowed it hard.
"..." Gu Jingxian didn't know whether to laugh or not.
She tutted and fed it to Gu Jingxian expressionlessly.
Gu Jingxian ate it as she pleased.
Sweet potatoes were steaming in the air, the sunlight was shallow and gentle, the wind was not biting, and the courtyard was quiet and peaceful.
A few days before the hunt, Ran Bai went out twice. Gu Jingxian didn't find her when he came. She didn't go out openly, avoiding everyone's attention. She must have been doing private things. Gu Jingxian didn't ask much, but just took care of everything before leaving the hunt and prepared food for Ran Bai. This feeling made him feel like he was raising a child.
The hunt lasted at least a few days, which was obviously not long, but it still felt particularly strange. Gu Jingxian was worried about leaving Ran Bai alone here.
The last time they separated...
was the year he left Dongling.
Later, the emperor was furious and his possessiveness was particularly morbid. They never separated again, not even for a day. Gu Jingxian himself was very indifferent, didn't ask for anything, and could bear Ran Bai's suffocating love. If it were someone else, he might not be able to live well in such an environment.
It's just because I like this person, there's nothing else.
Even if they were reborn, they met when they first came.
Now that they suddenly had to separate, Gu Jingxian was a little strange and difficult to adapt. He always felt that something was missing, dull and boring.
Habits are really terrible. He probably became dependent on Ran Bai over the years.
The hunting ground was outside the suburbs of Beijing. The emperor's team was grand, and many noble ladies from noble families went there. There were also the Southwest King and his side king who had quelled the rebellion and entered Beijing in the past few days. The twin sisters made great contributions on the battlefield, and the queen rewarded them very much. They seemed to have a good relationship and almost never left each other along the way.
When the team arrived at the hunting ground, it was already dusk.
It was not easy to hunt at night, and the guards set up tents outside the hunting ground for rest.
At this time in the previous life, Gu Jingxian did not deliberately delay time. In addition, the conversation with Dong Ling was not good, so he had already returned to Xijun. He had never been to the hunting ground and did not know what had happened. This was also the first time he and the Southwest King met.
At night, the dusk fell and mixed with the dark colors. The sky seemed to be covered by a dense dark net. The vast and clean hunting ground in the daytime was like a drop of ink quietly mixed into the clear water, gradually becoming turbid.
Gu Jingxian was not sleepy. He suddenly separated, and his thoughts were all about that person. Ran Bai had always been by his side before, and he was not much panic even if he returned to this year. Now Ran Bai was gone, he couldn't figure out how there could be such a ghostly thing in the world.
He returned to this year.
Everything in the previous life, and Ran Bai who belonged to the Emperor of Dongling...
The tent not far away was the Southwest King. A young woman in her twenties walked out of the tent. She was exposed to the wind and sun in the frontier and looked a little rough. Her face was slightly ugly, and then she saw Gu Jingxian. After a moment, she smiled.
That was the Southwest King's sister.
I heard that they had a good relationship, but it was not entirely true.
The young general nodded politely.
Without talking, Gu Jingxian stood outside in the night breeze for a while. He could feel the coldness coming, and his legs didn't feel any discomfort.
After a while, he sighed and went back to the tent.
As soon as he entered the tent, Gu Jingxian found something wrong. There was a faint cold fragrance in the air. There was a person sitting in the tent that should have been empty!
"General Gu." It should be the little wolf cub far away in the capital. At this moment, he was lying lazily on his bed, hugging the quilt, with charming and tender eyebrows. After seeing Gu Jingxian, he hooked his beautiful red lips and said evilly: "I have been waiting for you for a long time."
"Why are you here--" Gu Jingxian's face changed at that time. He walked over quickly and looked at the person in front of him with a calm look. He was surprised and happy in his heart.
The capital is so far away from the hunting ground. What did she come up with?
But it seems that there is no need to be surprised. After all, this person's temperament can do anything.
"I'm afraid you'll run away." Ran Bai propped up her chin. Under the dim candlelight, her peach blossom eyes were dark and beautiful. She said with a smile, serious but not smiling, with a bit of teasing in her seriousness.
"How can I run away if you look at me like this?" Gu Jingxian was held by Ran Bai with one hand and dragged to the side. However, after not seeing each other for a day, the little wolf cub became more and more clingy. Even when talking, he had to hug Gu Jingxian from behind. That posture seemed to be encircling his own property.
"So I have to watch him more closely." She narrowed her eyes, carelessly. After a pause, Ran Bai lazily sneered, with a tone of mocking disdain, but also meaningful: "My feeling tells me that if I don't look carefully, General Gu will really run away."
As she spoke, she stared at the side of the boy's face.
This face gave her a particularly familiar feeling, and so did this person.
It seems like I have seen it somewhere.
But she was sure that this was the first time she saw Gu Jingxian this year.
But with every contact, the subtle and weird familiarity becomes heavier and heavier, followed by an ungraspable feeling of weightlessness.
As soon as I closed my eyes, this person was gone.
Gu Jingxian's heart trembled and he answered her word for word: "No."
Never again.
No one can take away what she wants to keep. Ranbai doesn't trust others, but she trusts herself. The little wolf cub is quite satisfied with Gu Jingxian's answer. Without comment, he wraps his arms around the young man's waist and touches his fingertips. She rubbed the bite mark on the side of Gu Jingxian's neck. The bite was very hard at the time, but there was no scar left in the past few days. On the contrary, it had almost disappeared. She felt a little regretful in her heart. She asked Gu Jingxian while grabbing his Left hand: "Can't you see it on your wrist too?"
"It's all gone." Gu Jingxian hummed, and let Ranbai lift up his sleeves, revealing the wrist. There was a faint mark on the cold white skin. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see it clearly.
Ranbai stared at her for a while, her long eyelashes covering her eyes. She said nothing, but Gu Jingxian could sense that she was unhappy and asked her what was wrong.
The child's eyes dimmed the gloomy darkness, and the corners of her eyes and brows looked a bit sickly. She licked her little fangs, still remembering the feeling of biting into them, and her voice became a little hoarse: "...it's okay."
