Chapter 404: What Is the Purpose of Covering Your Face with a Piece of Cloth?

Gu Fei pulled the reins, Zhao Ye began to slow down, and then slowly stopped.

Xiao Yu got off the horse first. When Gu Fei got off the horse, he stretched out his hands to protect her, fearing that she would fall.

The two got off the horse and stood on the roadside for a while, without speaking.

After a while, Gu Fei twisted her body uncomfortably, "Thank you for today, I, I will go back first."

She turned to leave, and Xiao Yu suddenly grabbed her wrist.

He stared at her without blinking, took out a handkerchief from his arms, and stretched out his hand to tie it on her face.

Xiao Yu's movements were very light, his fingertips accidentally brushed her tender cheeks, her face was slightly red, and he still tied the handkerchief seriously.

Gu Fei waited foolishly for him to tie the handkerchief, lowered her head and rubbed her toes on the ground, "Then, I, I will go back."

Xiao Yu said "um" softly, and Gu Fei turned around and ran towards home with her skirt lifted.

Xiao Yu watched her skirt fluttering in the wind, like a blooming flower.

This is a straight road.

Xiao Yu watched the figure getting farther and farther away, smaller and smaller, until the figure could no longer be seen, Xiao Yu was still standing on the roadside in a daze.

Shitou came over and coughed lightly, "My Lord, it's past noon, it's time to go back home for dinner."

He pointed behind Xiao Yu again, "That, Miss Gu's fan——"

Xiao Yu took the round fan in his hand with his backhand. The fan was made of thin silk, and a peach blossom was embroidered on the fan. The peach blossom was white and pink, and there was a faint fragrance.

Xiao Yu looked at it for a long time, put the round fan on his chest, mounted his horse and galloped away.

Gu Fei ran home in one breath.

Liu Zhu at the door had no time to call Miss, and saw that Gu Fei had already run to the second gate.

Gu Fei shouted as soon as she entered the yard, "Brother, come out quickly!"

Gu Qing had a day off today. Although it was the Lotus Festival, many people in the academy went out to play together, but he didn't go. He didn't think he was qualified to go out and play at the moment, so he locked himself in the room to read.

Hearing Gu Fei's voice, he thought something had happened, and hurriedly threw down his book and ran out.

When he came out, he saw that the girl had a plain white handkerchief tied on her face, covering half of her face.

"What's wrong with your face?"

Gu Fei waved her hand, "My face is fine." She excitedly took out the envelope from her arms, "Brother, you can go to Qinglian Academy to study."

Gu Qing was stunned, "Qinglian Academy?"

Those who can go to Qinglian Academy are either very talented or the children of officials. He had asked about it before, but people said that Qinglian Academy is not accepting students recently.

He looked at the girl, then at the envelope in her hand, took it and opened it.

Gu Fei pointed to the blank space on the notice, "Here, just fill in your brother's name."

The notice was just a few lines of words. Gu Qing read it in a few seconds, and his face showed ecstasy. He suddenly picked up his sister and turned around, "Xiao Fei, you are really amazing. You can even get the notice of Qinglian Academy. What else can't you do!"

Gu Fei giggled, and Chen came out of the house and said angrily, "What's wrong with you two brothers and sisters? Why are you so happy?"

Gu Qing put Gu Fei down and explained to Chen incoherently.

Chen didn't know what Qinglian Academy was like, nor did she know how rare this admission notice was, but she was happy when they were happy. She nodded, "Da Lang, then you should study hard and don't waste your sister's kindness."

Chen glanced at Gu Fei, "Why cover your face with a piece of cloth? It's hot today, be careful of getting prickly heat——" As she spoke, she pulled the handkerchief off Gu Fei's face.
