Chapter 158: A story full of charm
Gu Xiaoyou opened one eye sleepily and saw a figure putting something on the table.
After looking for a long time, he finally recognized the figure of the owner. Gu Xiaoyou hesitantly called: "Zhi Xia?"
"I'm sorry, miss, I woke you up." Zhixia said apologetically, bowing in the direction of Gu Xiaoyou.
"It's okay, it's time for me to get up." Gu Xiaoyou raised his hand to signal Zhixia to get up.
Zhixia straightened up and asked softly: "Miss, what do you want to wear today? Zhixia will find it for you."
"Look for clothes with high collars. It's cold outside." Gu Xiaoyou yawned and said sleepily.
"Yes." Zhixia walked to the closet, dug out a high-collar dress from the closet, held the clothes and turned to the bedside, waiting for Gu Xiaoyou to get up.
Gu Xiaoyou stood up in confusion and let Zhixia put on her dress. When she was almost dressed, she opened her eyes: "Thank you..."
Halfway through the word "thank you", Gu Xiaoyou was stunned, and the feeling of being trapped disappeared, and he said in surprise: "Zhixia, why are your eyes so swollen like this? Who bullied you?"
"No one bullies my slave." Zhixia covered her eyes in embarrassment and said shyly: "My slave cried when I saw the emotional place last night."
"So your eyes have become like this?" Gu Xiaoyou said in surprise.
"Yeah." Zhixia hummed shyly.
Gu Xiaoyou looked at Zhixia's red and swollen eyes, and noticed the black and blue under her eyes, and asked helplessly: "You didn't just stay up all night and read a book, right?"
"How do you know?" Zhixia pursed her lips shyly and said with a guilty conscience: "When I saw Yinshi, I wanted to sleep, but I was moved by the sincere love between Master Cao and Miss Wang, so I couldn't sleep.
"
"So you got up early, cooked and tidied the room?" Gu Xiaoyou looked at the clean tables and chairs in the room, and then at the steaming porridge and side dishes on the table, feeling a little helpless.
Why didn't she see that this little girl Zhixia was so crazy?
If I had known better, I would have given her the book in the morning. It would be better to divide the book into two and give her half a book a day.
Gu Xiaoyou thought speechlessly, looking at Zhixia's dark circles and red and swollen peach-core eyes, he ordered in a cold voice: "Go and boil two eggs."
"Yes, slave, let's go right now." Seeing Gu Xiaoyou's serious face, Zhixia hurried to the small kitchen.
Gu Xiaoyou shook his head. After washing, he sat in front of the dressing table, casually tied a bun on his head and found a hairpin to wear.
Then, she lifted up her skirt and sat down at the table to eat breakfast.
After drinking half of the porridge, Zhixia returned to the room with a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, carrying two eggs.
"Miss, the eggs are cooked. Please peel them open for you."
"Well, you peel it and put it in your handkerchief." Gu Xiaoyou said casually, glancing at the egg expressionlessly.
"Yes." Zhixia responded obediently. Although she didn't know why she put the eggs in the handkerchief, she still obeyed her instructions.
Waiting for Zhixia to peel the two eggs, put them into two handkerchiefs and carefully handed them to Gu Xiaoyou.
"Miss, this slave is ready to be stripped."
Gu Xiaoyou grabbed a handkerchief with one hand and said coldly: "Come here and squat down."
Zhixia moved over without knowing why, squatted down, and looked at Gu Xiaoyou timidly. This was the first time she saw the young lady's expression so serious, and she couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Gu Xiaoyou waited for Zhixia to squat down, then put two handkerchiefs on Zhixia's eyes.
Zhixia hurriedly closed her eyes, thinking that this was some new way of punishing people, but the hot eggs covering her eyes through the handkerchief turned out to be very comfortable.
Coupled with Gu Xiaoyou's gentle rolling of eggs on her red and swollen areas, Zhixia only felt a sense of comfort, not the punishment she imagined.
"Miss..." Zhixia called softly, moved.
"You don't know how to control yourself when reading a book, and you don't pay attention to your health at a young age." Gu Xiaoyou educated softly, but the movements of his hands did not stop.
"I know I was wrong," Zhixia said shamefully.
Gu Xiaoyou sighed and waited until the eggs in his hands were a little cold before moving away from Zhixia's eyes.
"Let me take a look." Gu Xiaoyou held Zhixia's chin and saw that her eyes were a little better: "Your eyes are much better. Go back to your room and sleep. When you wake up, boil two eggs and apply them."
"Miss, let me help you comb your hair before you go." Zhixia said with complicated thoughts.
Unexpectedly, she did something wrong and the lady not only refused to punish her, but also treated her so well.
"No need, I have a headache when I see your swollen eyes. Go to sleep." Gu Xiaoyou said pretending to be disgusted, pushing Zhixia by the shoulders and pushing her out the door.
"I know this. I will go to bed immediately." Zhixia left obediently and went back to her room to sleep.
After Gu Xiaoyou had breakfast, she met Zhou in the main hall, and the two of them walked towards the door hand in hand.
As Gu Xiaoyou walked, he told Mrs. Zhou about Zhixia, and said rather helplessly: "This girl usually looks steady, but I never thought she would be so out of tune, reading all night long."
"Maybe the story is too good. After all, I'm young. You just need to be more considerate." Zhou said with a smile, becoming a little curious about the story that Shang Zhixia was fascinated by: "What story is she reading? I want to know too.
.”
"The story I made up at random is called "The Love of King Cao." Gu Xiaoyou regretted a little after saying it: "Sister Zhou, just listen to it, but don't be like Zhi Xia."
"Don't worry, I won't be crazy." Zhou said.
While the two people were talking, they took a carriage and arrived at Anyang Street in Lutan.
Zhou followed Gu Xiaoyou to Jiumen Bookstore. Gu Xiaoyou walked to the bookshelf with ease and said, "Here, this is it."
"Lend it to me. I'll take it to the store and read it when I have free time." Zhou took the book out of the bookshelf, said a few words to Gu Xiaoyou and left the book club.
Gu Xiaoyou looked at Mrs. Zhou's back and secretly prayed that Sister Zhou could stay sane.
Unfortunately, Gu Xiaoyou underestimated the charm of storybooks and overestimated Zhou's determination.
When she went to the paper shop to find Mr. Zhou for dinner during her lunch break, she saw Mr. Zhou sitting behind the counter with a handkerchief and his head lowered, gently wiping his tears.
Gu Xiaoyou thought Mrs. Zhou had been wronged in some way, so she walked forward and asked with concern: "Sister Zhou, are you okay? Have you met any difficult guests?"
"No." Mrs. Zhou wiped her tears, raised her eyes to look at Gu Xiaoyou, and said shyly: "I was just moved by the story of Master Cao and Miss Wang."
"..." Gu Xiaoyou looked at Mr. Zhou speechlessly.
"Didn't you say you don't know how to be crazy? Why are you still crying like this?"
Zhou said embarrassedly: "I didn't expect the story to be so good. I couldn't hold it back..."
