Bab 624: Returning the Bright Orb

The two of them were tired after having walked for so long that night. After her drunkenness was gone, they entered the palace hall together and got on the bed.

She claimed that she felt tired and asked him to massage her shoulders. He agreed to do it for her.

It was rather quiet in the palace hall, save for their heavy breathing.

"Have you made up your mind?" she asked suddenly.

He remained silent.

She continued while looking at him quietly, "If you keep acting this way, I'll eat you up."

He released her hands and came to a chair a hundred feet away and sat on it, then drank a cup of cold tea.

Nothing else had happened between them.

Yet, something had finally occurred.

The two of them held hands again not long after.

He massaged her shoulders once in a while, and she rubbed his head occasionally.

About ten years later, Gu Qing went back to his family when his mother died.
