Seeing that she didnât answer, Gong Jue pursed his lips, he opened her injured palm, and helped her apply some medicine.
At the age of sixteen, he was at that stage where he was both mature and childish. When he restrained all his anger and calmed down to do something, he seemed so harmless, but Gong Yimo felt it. She felt how uncalm he was, and it was stronger than ever!
After applying the medicine, he carefully bandaged Gong Yimoâs hand and placed it on the cushion calmly.
âSister, Iâm so useless, no wonder you donât like me.â
When he said this, he snorted in silence, and actually laid sideways on Gong Yimoâs lap, a trace of self-rejection could be seen
â¦â¦
The self-deprecating and self-mockery in his tone made Gong Yimo feel a sharp pain in her heart!
How many years has it been since he had shown this side of him to her? Lying on her lap like this, quietly, with a trace of dependence and intimacy
Gong Yimoâs hand couldnât help but fall on his crown, and she gently stroked his hair.
âYouâre already very outstanding.â
Gong Jue didnât speak, his head gently rubbed against her legs, as he took in the smell of her body, like a wounded beast, silently licking his wound.
Gong Yimo knew that he was hit by Longcheng Tingxueâs incident today, and realized that his powers were only within this one country, but sheâ¦â¦ was already on to the second country, isnât that quite saddening?
âHow old are youâ¦â¦â
Gong Jue didnât like to hear her say this, and couldnât help but bite her on her thigh. That hot and itchy sensation made Gong Yimo let out a clear laugh.
âIâm serious!â
She pressed his head down so that he couldnât move. Gong Jue had always been strong and aggressive, but when he showed such a quiet and hurting side of him for the first time, she couldnât help but say what she really felt.
âIn my heart, you have always been the most capable man!â
Gong Jue suddenly froze upon hearing her words, he laid quietly on her lap, as he listened.
âWhen you were still young, around seven years old, I guess? At that time, you could already build me a swing and a rocking chair. As long as I asked for it once, you could build it based on your own predictions. You werenât like a seven year old child, whatever that you have learned, you could master after the first time, you were literally a child prodigy!â
Gong Jue was silent. He didnât think that it was such a great thing to have outstanding memory, or to be born with three-dimensional thinking. If he was a child prodigy, then she, who taught him these things, would be a god.
Gong Yimo ran her fingers through his hair to massage the top of his head. She could clearly feel that Gong Jue was relaxing and could not help but smile.
âAlsoâ¦â¦ At the age of nine, there was an assassin in the cold palace. I asked you to seek help from the Emperor. At that time, I was actually prepared to hold down the killer and let you escape. I didnât think that you, a nine years old, could really return with rescueâ¦â¦â
Gong Yimo smiled bitterly. At that time, there were some things that she didnât tell Gong Jue about, because Gong Jue had felt very guilty about her injury, so she kept it to herself, thinking that she would never say it to him in this life, but now, on the way back to the palace, she just wanted to tell him.
Gong Jue suddenly opened his eyes to look at her. Gong Yimo quickly covered his eyes and smiled awkwardly as she said, âDonât look! This is the ugliest angle for a womanâ¦â¦â
Gong Jueâs surprised and hurtful emotions suddenly swept away, and he wanted to laugh for some reason. She actually cared about her image in his heart.
