Chapter 49: I’m gonna be yours
Chapter 49
When Su Mo and Wu Ying returned to Four Beauties Pavilion, they had already bought things and come back.
With Yu Yifan there, their shopping went relatively smoothly. Most of the time, it was Yu Yifan who negotiated prices with the boss, and Su Mo just paid.
"Li Sister, you guys are finally back. Let's go eat lunch, I'm starving," said Xia Miaomiao.
Su Mo was chewing on something in her mouth. She walked over and saw Gu Zhi behind Sang Li, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Li Sister, who is he? What's wrong with his face?"
"Mo Mo, um... I did something very irrational that I need to tell you about."
Sang Li looked at Gu Zhi behind her and told them about buying Gu Zhi and the reasons and process.
"After all, we're using Wu Ying's money right now. Let's just consider the money to buy Gu Zhi as a personal loan from me. After our shop makes money and splits the bonus, I'll pay Wu Ying back."
"What? Wu Ying's money is my money, and mine is yours! And you're still being polite with me?" Su Mo laughed. "Do whatever you want. After all, I'm also doing whatever I want, heh heh~"
Sang Li smiled and stroked Su Mo's head. "Mo Mo, thank you."
Su Mo turned and blinked at Wu Ying. "Wu Ying, it's good that you have money, otherwise we'd be drinking northwest wind!"
Wu Ying glanced at her. "Come here."
Su Mo hopped over happily. "What's up?"
Wu Ying indulgently stroked her head and leaned in to whisper gently in her ear, "Let me kiss you more tonight, that's all."
"..."
Oh my...
How is Wu Ying even more lusty than her?
That ascetic appearance before must have been an act, right??
Damn, he's quite good at playing hard to get!
She wouldn't believe that she can't handle Wu Ying!
Su Mo suddenly tiptoed and kissed him on the cheek. "Why wait until tonight? I don't mind if you kiss me now!"
Wu Ying: "..."
He really couldn't accept kissing her in front of so many people yet, but Su Mo was obviously challenging him.
Su Mo raised her eyebrows at him.
Wu Ying glanced at her coolly. A gentleman avenges himself, not in haste.
"Alright, enough dog food. Are we still eating?" Xiao Han called out.
The others couldn't help but laugh.
Gu Zhi's gaze had been fixed on Sang Li the entire time.
Sang Li turned around and looked at Gu Zhi. "Let me introduce you. These are all my good friends."
Sang Li introduced him to everyone one by one. Gu Zhi nodded and asked, "Sister, aren't you all from Lan City?"
"No, we're actually from a very distant place. We're just temporarily staying here for now. We'll go back in the future."
"In the future... when?" Gu Zhi asked.
"Don't know. We're not sure either. We'll just go with the flow..."
Sang Li looked at Su Mo horsing around with Wu Ying, and then at Xiao Han and Xia Miaomiao on the side eating melon seeds.
The four of them didn't know how much longer they would stay here. She wanted to discuss the treasure map with Su Mo, but was afraid of affecting her relationship with Wu Ying.
But she and Wu Ying were destined to part ways...
Gu Zhi looked at Sang Li and saw that she seemed to have something on her mind, but he didn't have a reason to ask about it now.
The group went out to eat, then returned to Four Beauties Pavilion in the afternoon and arranged the things they bought.
The seven of them worked for an afternoon before finally completing it!
"Wow, it looks pretty good!" Su Mo exclaimed as she looked at the stage above. "Miao Miao, that stage will belong to you in the future!"
Xia Miaomiao was talented in many arts. No one here could compare to her in instruments, chess, calligraphy and painting.
"When we finish making mahjong tiles and game cards, we'll open for business in a couple days!"
...
When they returned to Qinglin Courtyard at night, they realized there were only six rooms, while now there were seven people!
"Why don't Gu Zhi and I live together?" Yu Yifan volunteered.
"No, you and Gu Zhi are both injured. It's not suitable for you two to sleep together," Sang Li said. "Mo Mo, why don't we sleep together? We can give up a room for them?"
"I'm fine with anything!" Su Mo said indifferently.
"No." Wu Ying's voice came. He paused before saying, "You have to get up very early every day to practice martial arts. It would disturb others."
"Oh, right." Su Mo realized belatedly.
"Why don't I sleep with Little Han!" Xia Miaomiao said. "We used to sleep together when we were at the Bai family anyway!"
"Great! I love hugging soft Miao Miao to sleep!" Xiao Han hugged Xia Miaomiao.
"..." Xia Miaomiao wanted to roll her eyes.
Sang Li and Xiao Han went to tidy up the rooms and change the bedding.
"Gu Zhi, you can stay here. Let us know if you need anything," Sang Li said.
"Okay, thank you, Sister. I will definitely repay your kindness in the future!" Gu Zhi said very sincerely.
Sang Li smiled. "No need to repay me. Just don't cause me any trouble during this time."
"Mm mm, I will definitely listen to you." Gu Zhi nodded earnestly.
Seeing his serious look, Sang Li couldn't help but chuckle softly. "Rest early."
"Sister, can I ask you a question?" Gu Zhi said cautiously.
"Go ahead."
"Why did you buy me? You clearly rejected me at Fu Hua Building before."
"I said, I didn't have money at the time, so of course I wouldn't do anything I wasn't confident in. As for today... first, I had enough silver to buy you, and second, I really couldn't bear to see you sold to the arena. Just consider it my compassion at work."
"If it were someone else, would you also buy them?" Gu Zhi asked.
Sang Li shook her head. "I don't know. I can't answer hypothetical questions."
Gu Zhi lowered his eyes. "Sister, since you bought me, I'm your person from now on. Don't abandon me."
Sang Li smiled slightly at him. "Sorry, I won't keep you by my side forever. When you find your family, you can leave."
After saying that, Sang Li turned and left.
Gu Zhi watched Sang Li's departing figure, not withdrawing his gaze for a long time.
His mind suddenly flashed with dizziness, and his originally clear eyes suddenly became a little sinister.
In the next moment, his right pupil turned the same red as his red clothes.
Gu Zhi subconsciously covered his right eye. "Pfft!" He spat out a mouthful of blood, caught off guard.
In the next moment, he seemed to be in a daze again, looking at the blood stains on the ground with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
He lowered his hand covering his eyes. His right pupil had returned to normal now.
He looked at his hand, then at the blood on the ground.
"Who am I? Who exactly am I?"
Gu Zhi frowned, trying hard to recall something, but he couldn't remember anything again.
He leaned on the table and slowly walked to the bedside, not thinking anymore.
Since Sister bought him, then he was Sister's person now. No matter who he was before, from now on, he was Sister's person.
He would repay Sister for a lifetime...
