Chapter 144 1 Poor and Penniless, Relying on Marriage to Become Empress 8
As dawn breaks, the deep night slowly fades away, and a large golden morning light rises from the east. The warmth dispels the cold, and all things wake up.
A hazy ray of sunlight came in through the wooden window and fell exactly on the fair face of the girl on the bed, casting a circle of soft golden light.
Wei Mingyu frowned when her rest was disturbed, and finally opened her eyes. She yawned slightly and sat up, hugging the quilt.
After sitting there for a few minutes, my mind was still not fully clear, my vision was dully fixed in the air, and I continued to be distracted.
It was still early, so it should be fine to sleep a little longer. The girl hugged the quilt tightly, thinking about the feasibility of this matter.
However, soon, a knock on the door brought her back to her senses.
"Xiaoyu, are you up? It's time for breakfast."
A voice without any clarity came from outside.
Wei Mingyu sighed helplessly. If he had known earlier, he would not have been so entangled and would have just lay down for a while.
"Get up, come right away."
"Hurry up, Junior Brother Wuan made your favorite beef noodles."
Hearing this, Wei Mingyu dressed faster, "Right away!"
When she went downstairs, she saw Wuxun slumped in a wheelchair. Today, he was wearing a cloud-blue robe, which was unusual. The light blue made his milky white skin look more delicate than porcelain.
Perhaps he heard the sound of people coming down the stairs, he raised his eyelids and looked over. When he saw it was her, his beautiful peach blossom eyes lit up.
"It's a little earlier today than usual."
Wu Rong was watching nearby, and nodded in agreement when he heard Wu Xun's slightly surprised voice, "That's right, she usually gets up much later, but today she got up as soon as I called her. I'm afraid she slept too much at night."
"Maybe the fragrance of flowers outside the window was too charming, so I slept very deeply and got up earlier today." Wei Mingyu said casually while sitting on the chair.
At the same time, her clear and bright almond-shaped eyes glanced at the handsome young man opposite her, and the pure look in her eyes almost made him run away.
Wu Xun pursed his lips uncomfortably. The drug was a bit too strong last night and he couldn't stop himself for a while.
Wuan was not here today because of other things, and Wu Yue finished eating early and went to the back mountain, so there were only three of them eating noodles at the table.
Wu Rong served noodles to Wei Mingyu and placed them in front of her. He finished the noodles in his own bowl in a few bites and prepared to leave.
After taking two steps with the medicine hoe, he turned back and said seriously, "Remember to stay away from him. Go play by yourself after you finish eating."
Wei Mingyu: “…I understand.”
Seeing the girl nodding obediently, Wu Rong must have understood, so he left with a relieved heart.
Wu Xun, who was standing by, blinked his beautiful peach blossom eyes, pointed at himself, and said innocently, "I'm a good person."
However, the girl opposite had already seen through his true identity. She woke up the moment Wuxun came in last night. She thought he was up to something, but she didn't expect that he was testing whether she would be poisoned.
She was extremely sleepy at that time. She tried hard to ignore the young man who suddenly appeared while maintaining the golden light of merit on her body. She was not at peace even in her sleep. The touch on her face made her dream that she had turned into dough and was being kneaded and flattened. She was very depressed.
"Don't be like that, smile." Wu Xun turned his wheelchair and moved closer. He stretched out two jade-white fingers and wanted to poke the dimple that was faintly visible on the girl's lips.
Wei Mingyu was startled by his sudden movement and tried to lean back to avoid it, but her reaction was not as fast as his and her chin was pinched.
She reached out and tried to bend her fingers, but they didn't move.
Wuxun raised the corners of his lips, with a hint of excitement in his eyes, "They are not here, let's go and play by ourselves."
After saying this, without giving Wei Mingyu a chance to refuse, he grabbed the slender wrist and pulled the girl into his arms, his two arms tightly wrapped around her soft waist like iron.
"Wait..." My face!
"late."
A gust of wind blew by, and the two people at the table disappeared, leaving only two bowls on the table with no one paying attention to them.
If Wei Mingyu were given another chance, she would definitely eat her fill before coming out.
On a huge paulownia tree, a handsome young man in a robe of cloud and water embraced a beautiful young girl in a pink shirt and skirt embroidered with butterflies. Their heads were leaning against each other closely, like lovers.
"Why did you bring me here?" Wei Mingyu covered his stomach with his hands, looking hopeless. When his eyes fell on the wild flowers blooming in the distance, for the first time he didn't admire them but thought about whether he could eat them.
Wu Xun buried his head in the girl's shoulder, took a deep breath of the fragrance that was different from his own, and said in a muffled voice: "Don't you like to see the scenery? This is a good place I found. Do you like it?"
"I like it but I can't eat it. You brought me here when I wasn't full yet!" Wei Mingyu glared at the black head on the side of his face unkindly, expressing his dissatisfaction even though he couldn't see it.
Wei Mingyu originally thought that Wuxun would ask Wurong to study her after discovering her unusualness, but she didn't expect that his idea was so unusual.
"Sorry, I was too anxious." Wu Xun was stunned for a moment, then he took out something wrapped in a handkerchief and stuffed it into Wei Mingyu's hand, "Here are some cakes made by Wu An, you can fill your stomach first."
Usually after Wuan finished making pastries, he would give some to Wuxun so that he could eat them anytime. In the past, he would mostly feed them to the small animals in the bamboo forest, but he didn't expect to use them suddenly today.
"You still have some conscience." Wei Mingyu opened his handkerchief in surprise, took out a piece of cake and put it in his mouth. The sweet taste soothed his rumbling stomach as soon as it entered his mouth.
There were seven or eight cakes, just enough to last her until noon.
Wu Xun turned his head and looked at the girl's pink cheeks which were bulging, very much like the way the little rabbit he used to raise ate, except that he had never touched that rabbit.
Wei Mingyu was enjoying her meal when suddenly someone pinched her cheek and rubbed it teasingly. Without thinking, she raised her hand and elbowed the person.
"Hey! You are too cruel. I have internal injuries. You are responsible!" Wuxun put down his hands embarrassedly, covering his chest and said roguely.
After waiting for a while, he didn't hear the girl's voice. Just when he was feeling a little confused, Wei Mingyu spoke up, his voice full of gloating: "I think you can talk to him."
Wuxun raised his head and followed her gaze. Wurong, who had a dark and handsome face under the tree, glared at him fiercely and roared, "Wu! Xun! You! Are! Going! To! Die!"
The sound startled the birds in the trees and they flew away.
"Why are you here?" Wuxun frowned and looked at him, unhappy that he was disturbing him.
"Let go!"
Wu Rong didn't waste any words. He used his lightness skills to fly to their side and reached out to pull the girl over.
But Wu Xun would never agree. He hugged Wei Mingyu and quickly dodged like a light butterfly, landing on the other side of the branch.
