Chapter 494

"I'm tired." Qin Jiu nodded, thinking about asking someone to have a sedan chair come over. Anyway, they do not need to visit the palace today.

However, before she could say these words, she saw Gu Zezhi take a step forward walking in front of her, slightly bowing and saying to her in a gentle voice. "I'll carry you on my back."

Carry her on his back?! Qin Jiu almost doubted that she was hearing things, in the broad daylight, was he not afraid that the servants of the mansion could see them?

As if he had noticed her hesitation, he slightly turned his face and looked at her, his sword-like eyebrows raised, and said with a smile. "Are you being shy again?"

What rubbish, what does he mean by being shy "again"!!! Qin Jiu's mind immediately became hot as she lay on his broad back, put her arms around his neck, and positioned herself.

Anyway, if he was not afraid of others saying he was afraid of his wife, then what should she be afraid of!

Gu Zezhi held her leg and steadily carried her forward.

His warm body was like a big furnace, exuding his usual incense scent, which smelt like faint green bamboo, fresh, and light.

Qin Jiu was a little embarrassed at first, but after being carried by him for a while and seeing no one at all along the way, she thought that maybe the servants had good intuition!

She did not care if anyone was peeking at the corner that she could not see; anyway, out of sight was out of mind.

She lay peacefully on Gu Zezhi's back and her body relaxed.

The silk ribbon on his bun hung down and happened to touch her face. She felt itchy and withdrew one hand that was originally wrapped around his neck, trying to push away the ribbon in front of her. However, when the ribbon reached between her fingers, her hand stiffened, and she realized that the ribbon he used to tie his hair was hers.

The silk ribbon that was tied to her hair yesterday has now fallen on his head.

Qin Jiu felt as if her head was filled with honey, it was so sweet that she could not help but think of the words, hair tie.

She rolled the long silk ribbon with her long, slender fingers while feeling as if something was tangled around her heart.

She softly called out, "Zezhi."

This was the first time she called him by his name.

"Hmm." He responded with a smile.

"After returning home tomorrow, can you accompany me to pick out a few books from Shuhaizhai?"

"Okay."

"Good!" She leaned over and kissed his jade-white earlobe and found that he trembled slightly, causing a crisp laugh to escape from her mouth, showing little self-satisfaction and a little coquettishness.

Gu Zezhi only paused briefly before continuing forward, with the corner of his lips curled up, his eyebrows and eyes glowing on his handsome face.

Does this girl think he cannot do anything to her now?

Thinking about going back, Gu Zezhi did not do anything to her. That night, Qin Jiu slept for the first time in three days, and when she got in the next day, feeling refreshed.
