Chapter 91
“No, what does this Gu Zhi mean?” Xiao Han was a little confused, “Is he pretending not to know us, or does he really not recognize us?”
Xia Miaomiao sighed and sat down on the wooden bed, “It doesn't seem we'll get out so easily.”
“Even if he and Sister Sang had some unpleasantness, we treated him quite well before, didn't we? How could he do this to us? It makes me so angry! From now on I'll be the first to oppose Sister Sang being with him, humph, humph!” Xiao Han humphed twice towards the outside of the cell.
In the evening, Miao Fei came to bring them dinner.
Four dishes and one soup, two meat and two vegetable dishes, very sumptuous.
Xiao Han's eyes went wide, “No way? The prison food of the Miao ethnicity is so good?”
Xia Miaomiao walked over, pursed her lips, “Could it be our last meal? Surely not, right?”
Miao Fei looked at them as if they were idiots, “Don't worry and eat, no poison! And not your last meal either!”
Xiao Han brought over the dishes, “Never mind, I'm starving to death, I'll try it first, Miaomiao, eat after me if there's no poison.”
Xiao Han ate a couple bites, and found the taste quite good, “Hmm... the taste is really not bad! Miaomiao, you eat too, should be no poison!”
Xia Miaomiao brought over the meal and started eating too.
Miao Fei rolled his eyes at them, made by the Gu Residence’s chef, of course the taste is good, even he as a servant hadn’t eaten this well!
Seeing them eat with relish, he couldn't help but swallow.
While the person locked in the next cell looked at the cold steamed bun in his hand, suddenly feeling it was not appetizing...
After finishing eating, Xiao Han suddenly turned her head, and saw Miao Fei staring at them eating, his expression was practically drooling!
"Cough, cough..." Xiao Han deliberately coughed, "Brother, you... haven't eaten?"
Seeing there was still a chicken wing left in their bowl, Miao Fei couldn't help but ask, "Young ladies, could you give me that chicken wing? I'd also like to try it..."
Xiao Han and Xia Miaomiao looked at each other, at a loss.
Xiao Han quickly handed over the bowl, "You eat it, we're full anyway."
Miao Fei quickly took the bowl, and in two bites the chicken wing was picked clean.
He licked his lips unsatisfied, "As expected, the chef's cooking is just different..."
Only then did Xia Miaomiao realize something was off.
This was clearly a meal sent by Gu Zhi.
So he didn't not recognize them after all?
...
Laifu Inn.
When Sang Li and Su Mo returned to the inn, they didn't see Xia Miaomiao and Xiao Han.
The two thought they were still out playing, but by night the two still hadn't returned.
Sang Li immediately realized something was wrong.
Xiao Han and Xia Miaomiao must have gotten into trouble!
Just as they were about to go out and look for them, they were stopped by someone looking like an errand boy at the door.
"Are you Miss Sang Li and Miss Su Mo?" the errand boy asked.
"Yes, may I ask who you are?"
The errand boy took out a letter and handed it to Sang Li, "Someone asked me to give you this letter."
Sang Li took the letter, and the errand boy left.
Su Mo leaned over, "Who wrote it?"
Sang Li opened the envelope, which only had a few lines.
[Sister, long time no see, look forward to seeing you again, don't worry, your two friends are doing well in the Gu Residence's prison.]
No signature, but Sang Li knew with one look it was Gu Zhi.
"Who? It's Gu Zhi? " Su Mo knitted her brows, "It was him who caught little Xiao Han and Miaomiao? Why did he catch them? And put them in prison?"
In fact, knowing Gu Zhi had caught Xiao Han and Xia Miaomiao, Sang Li was somewhat relieved instead, this way they probably wouldn't be in danger.
"Looks like we'll have to go to Gu Residence tomorrow, just as well."
Sang Li put away the letter. She had been thinking about how to find Gu Zhi, and now Gu Zhi found them first.
Early next morning, they packed up and left the inn.
Gu Residence was easy to find, and soon they arrived at the front gate.
"How do we get in?" Su Mo asked.
Sang Li strode forward, "Go right in."
Arriving at the entrance, there were several guards outside who stopped them.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Sang Li." Sang Li only gave her name.
The guards looked at each other, they had received notice last night that if a young lady named Sang Li came to Gu Residence, to bring her directly to the courtyard where the young master lived.
"Please come with me, Miss." A guard said.
Just as they were about to go in, the other guards stopped Su Mo and Wuyin, "Miss and Sir, you cannot enter."
"Why? We're together! On what grounds can't we enter?" Su Mo said, unsatisfied.
"Only the Miss called Sang Li may enter!"
"You..."
Wuyin pulled Su Mo, saying softly, "Forget it, Mo Mo, I have other ways."
"Mo Mo, you guys go back to the inn and wait for me, I'll be fine." Having said that, Sang Li followed the guard into Gu Residence.
"What is this Gu Zhi trying to pull!" Su Mo pursed her lips.
Wuyin took Su Mo's hand, "Let's go..."
The two also left the front gate.
Gu Residence was very big. Sang Li was led for quite a while before arriving at the courtyard where Gu Zhi lived.
After Sang Li entered the yard, the guard left, and a maid led her to a room.
"Miss, please go in."
Sang Li calmly entered the room and looked around. She saw this seemed to be a bedroom.
But it was very big, with a large screen set up inside.
And not far on the wall hung a portrait that turned out to be her image.
Sang Li walked over and looked over the painting, her hand unconsciously reaching out.
"Sister, does it look like you?"
Gu Zhi's voice came from behind.
Sang Li's hand paused, then drew back.
She slowly turned around and looked at Gu Zhi behind her.
All the longing from before seemed to condense in this moment, Sang Li's heart raced uncontrollably.
She stared at him, not saying anything for a long time.
Gu Zhi also stared at her, his gaze falling on her red lips.
The memory of that night rushed back, when he had lost control and forcibly kissed her.
Seeing her now made all the longing from these days explode in this moment, he couldn't help but swallow, saying hoarsely, "Sister, kiss me and I'll release your friend."
Sang Li didn't say anything.
Seeing her silent, Gu Zhi said again, "Or else... I can't guarantee your friend's life and death..."
Seeing her unmoved, Gu Zhi's eyes darkened.
He knew she would never agree to this request.
He was about to compromise, asking for just a hug instead, that should be acceptable, right?
"If you're unwilling, then..."
Sang Li suddenly stepped forward.
She looked at his lips, held his arms, stood on tiptoes and kissed his lips.
Before he finished speaking, the soft touch came, and Gu Zhi was stunned for a moment.
He really didn't expect Sang Li to kiss him!
Even if she did it in the end for her friend, at most he thought she would just kiss his cheek. He only meant for her to kiss his cheek.
He really didn't expect Sang Li to directly kiss his lips!
The kiss rushed Gu Zhi's nerves, and he completely forgot to react.
Not just a peck, after kissing him for a while, Sang Li slowly left his lips.
Gu Zhi was still dumbstruck, and by the time he reacted, Sang Li had already left his lips.
"You..." Gu Zhi looked at her lips, his gaze flickering.
"Is this okay? Will you let them go now?"
