Chapter 60: Tangled together, then separated quickly
Zhou Mu was not asleep in the dormitory. He heard the sound of the door being pushed open and thought it was Grandma Yin.
He had not slept all night, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "I don't need anyone to take care of me here, mama, go and do your own business."
Gu Xiyan was pushed into the room door by Granny Yin and wanted to retreat. Zhou Mu suddenly spoke, and she realized that Zhou Mu was not asleep.
For a moment she was at a loss as to whether she should reply or not.
After all, she was a guest. Although she had gradually become familiar with the master and servant of the Zhou family, she still had to tell her master that she was here.
After hesitating for a moment, she replied: "If you want to return to the master, it's me, and grandma is busy."
When Zhou Mu first heard Gu Xiyan's voice, he thought he was hallucinating, and jumped up from the bed at that moment.
Gu Xiyan didn't expect his reaction to be so big, so she rushed to the bed to check: "Did the young master hit anything?"
Zhou Mu did hit his head, but within the scope of what he could bear, what he couldn't bear was that Gu Xiyan's voice was so close to him.
He took a deep breath, and when he looked at Gu Xiyan, his expression was normal: "I'm fine, why is the girl here?"
Now that she was so close, Gu Xiyan saw that Zhou Mu's eyes were all green and black. His skin color was as cold as white jade, so this green and black color was very eye-catching.
"Young master, you didn't rest last night, okay?" she asked with concern.
As she spoke, her sweet and warm breath was like a dense net, overwhelming Zhou Mu's breath, exactly like the feeling in his dream.
He closed his eyes, unable to face Gu Xiyan's face calmly.
"Sir?" Gu Xiyan felt that Zhou Mu didn't look right, and his mood seemed a bit unstable.
In her impression of him, this person would not panic even if he was overwhelmed by the mountain. He was not an ordinary person who could be easily influenced by others.
Just when she was confused, Zhou Mu lay back on the bed with his back to her.
"I'm tired and want to sleep for a while. The girl will close the door for me when she goes out." Zhou Mu's voice was like the dark sky today, low and depressing.
Gu Xiyan looked at his back with the word "resist" written all over it, and felt extremely confused: "Then I will stay outside. Young Master, if you have anything to do, please give me orders."
Without waiting for Zhou Mu's response, she stepped out of the inner room and gently closed the door.
Zhou Mu heard the door closing and breathed a sigh of relief.
He felt dangerous being in the same room as Gu Xiyan, but it was easier for him to be alone.
Gu Xiyan knew that Qi Zhiyuan had entered the palace and that there were only a few people waiting in the house. Mr. Yuan and Yuan Nianci did not live in Zhou's house. As for the secret guards who protected Zhou Mu, they were only responsible for protecting Zhou Mu's safety and would not be in vain.
Appearing for no reason, he would only appear when Zhou Mu was in danger.
Cai Yu is also very good at martial arts, but he is responsible for guarding the entire house.
Aunt Yin has to take care of everything in the house and is always very busy.
Qi Zhiyuan would always be with Zhou Mu, but there were also times when he was sent out by Zhou Mu to do things.
If I could be a maid beside Zhou Mu, it would be a very meaningful thing.
This thought just passed through her mind. Gu Xiyan felt that although being Zhou Mu's maid was a good job, it was still not as attractive as making money.
Zhou Mu in the inner room wanted to sleep and couldn't sleep. Fortunately, he had internal strength and good hearing. He could clearly hear the slightest movement of the person outside the room.
At one moment he heard her walking back and forth outside, and at another he heard her jumping down the steps.
Did she just entertain herself like this to pass the time when she had nothing to do?
He could even imagine what her childhood was like.
Gu Xiyan is an honest person. Zhou Mu asked her to come out, and she did come out. Aunt Yin asked her to serve Zhou Mu nearby, and she felt that the closest place to Zhou Mu was outside the door.
If she waits for Zhou Mu to wake up, she can go in and serve him immediately until Qi Zhiyuan returns home.
Before that, she had to be prepared to be summoned by Zhou Mu at any time.
Since Zhou Mu was sleeping, she waited outside obediently.
She chose a clean spot on the stone steps and sat down, picked five well-proportioned stones, and played a game of catching stones alone.
She was engrossed in playing when she suddenly heard Zhou Mu's voice above her head: "Girl, are you playing with stones?"
Gu Xiyan was startled, and when she looked back, she saw Zhou Mu quietly coming behind her.
He only wore a pure white tunic, and the collar fit perfectly with his neck, and even his Adam's apple was not visible. But when he bowed his head, his long black hair poured down, and a few strands of hair fell on her shoulders.
Her hair got tangled together and then separated quickly.
Zhou Mu looked at her beautiful eyes and couldn't help but smile: "Are you scared?"
Gu Xiyan hurriedly threw the stones, stood up, retreated to the steps, and stood farther away from Zhou Mu: "Why don't you go to bed anymore? Did I disturb you to rest?"
"It has nothing to do with you, it's my own problem. Come with me, and I'll treat you to tea." Zhou Mu led the way.
Gu Xiyan looked at his slender and straight back and felt that even his back was very charming.
She looked a little fascinated. When she came back to her senses, she realized that she had followed Zhou Mu into the tea room.
There is a complete set of tea sets in the tea room. Zhou Mu is an expert in tea ceremony.
He didn't make any fancy moves when making tea, just a simple tea-making process, but because he was so good-looking, his slender fingers were like bamboo joints, which complemented the white porcelain tea set, and it was pleasing to the eye.
When there was an extra cup of tea in front of her, Gu Xiyan realized that she was staring at the other person's hand intently, and her face felt a little hot for a moment.
"Try." Zhou Mu's voice was a little hoarse.
Gu Xiyan took the tea cup and poured it into her mouth. It was too late for Zhou Mu to stop her.
But Gu Xiyan forgot that this was hot tea, and when she took a sip, it was so hot that the tip of her tongue stuck out.
Zhou Mu's eyes darkened when he saw the pink tongue she stuck out. He felt rude again, so he lowered his head as if busy.
Gu Xiyan's tongue was numb from the heat, and it took her a while to remember that she had just behaved inappropriately in front of Zhou Mu.
Will Zhou Mu think she is too frivolous?
She looked at Zhou Mu hesitantly and found that the cup of tea brewed by Zhou Mu was already full. She quickly reminded: "Master, the tea has overflowed."
Only then did Zhou Mu realize that he had lost his composure. He put down the teapot and frowned slightly.
Gu Xiyan could tell at a glance that Zhou Mu was in a bad mood.
There are very few people and things in this world that can affect Zhou Mu, and there are not many things that can make Zhou Mu frown. Today she met them.
"Young Master, did you burn your hand?" Gu Xiyan asked nervously, almost wanting to grab Zhou Mu's hand and examine it.
Zhou Mu calmed down as quickly as possible: "I'm fine, but the girl just got burned..."
He looked at Gu Xiyan's lips, and then thought of the erotic scene he had just seen, and didn't understand how he could become like this.
He had never been so obscene before.
Gu Xiyan never noticed Zhou Mu's almost self-loathing mood. She replied softly: "I was not careful. I have recovered now."
