Chapter 489 Becoming Husband and Wife Tonight
Shi Xiaohan in Gu Xu’s memory has always been a carefree and confident girl.
She seems to be glowing with an infectious dazzling light at all times - no matter where she goes, she can dispel the gloom and make people temporarily forget the depression in their hearts.
But now, after experiencing a trick of fate, her originally pure and flawless eyes were mixed with trouble, sadness, and inferiority complex.
Like the jewels on the crown covered with dust, and like the flowers in the greenhouse hanging their heads after being wet by wind and rain.
"Don't belittle yourself, Xiaohan," Gu Xu sighed and patted Shi Xiaohan's back gently, "You can never imagine how cute you are in my eyes - when you were in that place in Yishui County When you walked towards me on a rainy morning, even your fingertips were glowing with a beautiful color.
"If we only focus on cultivation, then I might as well marry Luo Sishou or Tai. Shanghao's betrothal gift from all over the world.
“In this matter, after all, I can’t help you——”
“No,” Shi Xiaohan interrupted him in a low voice, “the engagement contract has been broken by my father. Even if you abandon me now, I have no right to accuse you.
"I did wonder before whether you would go to the north and leave me here after you find a stable home. , completely forgotten.
"Now that I see that you are still thinking about me and are willing to risk being arrested by the court to come here to see me, I am really happy and contented.
"Besides, you will be king in the future. The world. Throughout the ages, which emperor would have only one woman by his side? I don't want to get the bad reputation of being pampered, jealous, and ignorant. "
Gu Xu narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at her for a long time.
"The Xiaohan I knew in the past was not so generous," he said slowly, "You won't Was it taken away by someone? "
Shi Xiaohan rubbed his wet eyes: "In the past, this heroine didn't know whether her fiancé would be the reincarnation of Emperor Ziwei or the rebel leader of the Great Wilderness. She always dreamed of killing the emperor and overthrowing her. Daqi. If you are still that little-known clerk in Yishui County, I will lock you in a room and make cookies every day. I will beat anyone who wants to take you away. ”
Hearing this, Gu Xu understood that Shi Xiaohan was not really not jealous at all - she was just afraid that if she held him too tightly, she would lose him completely.
Especially after her family unilaterally regretted their marriage, and Gu Xu's cultivation level improved by leaps and bounds, making their strength conditions increasingly unequal.
In order to keep him, she chose to compromise.
After a brief silence, Shi Xiaohan suddenly got up from Gu Xu's arms, cut off a strand of his hair with his true essence, and cut off a strand of his own temples, then took out a red rope from his pocket, Tie them together.
“Gu Xu, do you still have your marriage certificate?”
"Of course it's still there."
As Gu Xu said this, he thought about it and took out another copy of the marriage document from "Xianyunju" - when they were originally engaged, after the matchmaker wrote the marriage document, they made it in duplicate. The copies shall be fingerprinted by both men and women and kept separately.
Shi Xiaohan's share was thrown into the blazing fire of the fireplace by Shi Lei.
Gu Xu’s copy is still intact.
"Gu Xu, if Luo Jing City was not attacked by ghosts that day and you were not wanted by Emperor Tianxing, then we should be husband and wife now, right?"
"Yes," Gu Xu sighed softly, "I should have already written the three etiquettes and married you into my family."
"Then tonight, let's be husband and wife," Shi Xiaohan walked around to the chair On one side, the black hair tied with a red rope was stuffed into his hand, "After tonight, I don't know when I will see you again."
"In my heart, we are already We are a couple.”
“What I want to say is to be a real couple.”
While speaking, Shi Xiaohan reached out and gently took off the wooden hairpin on his head, and his thick black hair was scattered. Open, it hung down to her waist like a waterfall, making her skin even whiter. "According to the book, don't they be considered a real couple after the wedding ceremony?"
Gu Xu saw a faint blush on her face, as bright and moving as if she had applied rouge.
He stood up and held her hand.
“It’s really unlike you to be so proactive.”
He knew that Shi Xiaohan was afraid that he would never come back, so he wanted to give himself to him tonight without leaving any regrets.
Shi Xiaohan turned his head and avoided his sight, his face flushed even redder: "If you don't want to, forget it. Do you think I really want to do those things with a bad guy like you?"
"How could I not? "Yes?" Gu Xu chuckled, "Since I got engaged to you, I have been thinking about how to eat you on the wedding night, whether to steam or braise you, so that you can enjoy the ultimate deliciousness.
“But not tonight. "
"Why? "Shi Xiaohan was a little puzzled.
Gu Xu thought for a while and replied: "I don't want your first night to be spent in this shabby thatched cottage. Only a Qiangong bed with red lacquer and gold is worthy of you.
"Besides, because of me, the Da Qi court must have sent people to monitor you secretly.
"Now I can block their detection on the causal level. But if you lose your virginity, you can't hide it from them. They will definitely discover the connection between you and me. This is extremely detrimental to you and your family. "
"Oh. "Shi Xiaohan bit his lip and lowered his head in disappointment.
Gu Xu bent over slightly again and took her into his arms.
"It's getting late, I have to leave. ," he whispered in her ear, "Xiaohan, you have to take care of yourself, stay well in Jiange, don't do stupid things, and wait until I come back to marry you.
"Remember, I still owe you a grand wedding that everyone is watching."
After saying this, he let go of her, took a few steps back, and then disappeared silently into the cracks in the space.
Shi Xiaohan stood there, staring blankly at the place where he disappeared, feeling that everything that had just happened seemed to be her hallucination - until she raised her hand and touched the strand of hair that had been cut short on her temples. , and then realized that Gu Xu had really been here.
The moment Gu Xu was about to leave, she actually wanted to say: "Take me away, and I will accompany you to conquer the world."
But in the end she did not say this exit.
On the one hand, she understood that she was too weak and would probably not be able to help him, and would instead become a burden to him.
On the other hand, she not only has a lover, but also relatives.
Her father was in awe of Emperor Tianxing's power and could not betray the imperial court and join Gu Xu's rebel camp.
If she just leaves, then all family members, including her father, will most likely be implicated and charged with treason.
It can range from deposing an official to exile, or killing nine tribes at the most severe level.
"Gu Xu, you also need to take care," she walked to the window, clasped her hands together, and said silently, looking at the sky with twinkling stars, "I'll wait for you to come back safely, and we can be a real couple."
