Gu Qingyao cared a lot about Jiang Yiru actually. In the previous lifetime, she deeply admired Old Master Qin’s feelings for Jiang Yiru and thus she instinctively had a liking for the couple when she met them in this lifetime.
She was earnest about having Jiang Yiru as her master and over the two months or so, Jiang Yiru had also been teaching her very seriously. Obviously, Gu Qingyao would be concerned about such a teacher.
She was an elderly and was severely injured yet still had to travel to the Qing River Brigade on such a cold day. Of course, Gu Qingyao had to make a trip back to take care of them to put her heart at ease.
As Mo Beihan watched Gu Qingyao pack, a bitter feeling crept into his heart.
Pulling her into his embrace, Mo Beihan asked with a slightly resentful tone, “You’re leaving just like that? Don’t you want me anymore?”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
Mo Beihan lowered his head to look at her. “Why? Have you never thought of staying behind to accompany me? It will be the new year in about a month or so, and I will definitely have a holiday and return home. In other words, I will be on holiday in about twenty-over days. Have you never thought of staying here to accompany me and then going back home together once I’m on holiday?”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
She gazed at Mo Beihan. Why was his tone a little sour?
Was it her imagination?
“Teacher is old and heavily injured. No one in the Qing River Brigade recognizes them, and it’s the most convenient for me to return to take care of them! Furthermore, I’m the only one with sufficient herbs. You… you are coming back in twenty-over days. Won’t we be able to meet then?”
Mo Beihan: “…”
He was unhappy!
Hugging her, Mo Beihan lowered his head and rested it on her shoulder. “No. I don’t want to let you go. When you were at this age in our previous life, you kept avoiding me. Afterward, I was even deployed to the frontier and could not even see you. I’ve not even hugged the sixteen-year-old you! I want to hug more!”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
She never expected this fellow to be so childish. Chuckling, she looked up slowly with a beam.
“That’s right! You indeed have not hugged my current self before. How is it? How does it feel? What’s the difference between this self and my old woman self?”
Mo Beihan paused. Good one!
This little girl became bold and even learned to tease him.
Chuckling, Mo Beihan inched closer to her and his warm breath on Gu Qingyao’s face caused her to blush.
“Tender and soft. Fragrant too. Makes me really want to… take a bite!”
Gu Qingyao flushed. How dare this asshole tease her.
Ultimately, she was not as thick-skinned as him; she glared at him with rosy cheeks.
“HAHAHAHA!” Mo Beihan chortled as he thought that such a Gu Qingyao was too adorable. He rubbed Gu Qingyao’s head in a doting manner and placed a kiss on her forehead.
“Where’s the bunny ears from before? Wear it more often in the future. It’s extremely cute. If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll buy more of those types of clothes for you in the future. You can wear a different one each day just for me to see.”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
“And give birth to a little daughter who looks exactly like you in the future and let her wear a similar pair of bunny ears as you. I’ll stroll on the streets while carrying you in one arm and our daughter in the other. Everyone will definitely be jealous to death of me. Hahahaha!”
Mo Beihan already cracked up just at the thought of it.
Gu Qingyao really had to give it to him for being able to think of such things.
“I’m already so old. Will you be able to carry me?”
“Of course!” Mo Beihan affirmed. “Of course, I’m able to. Do you want to try if you don’t believe me?”
