After returning to Simie Pavilion, Su Mo was sitting at the counter in a daze.
Seeing Sang Li come back, she immediately went up to greet her.
"Sister Li, you're finally back!"
"Is Wu Ying here?" Sang Li asked.
"He seems to have just stepped out."
"By himself?"
"I think so. He's a grown man, I didn't ask much." Su Mo sighed, "Oh, Sister Li, I'm so annoyed right now!"
Sang Li sat down and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Wu Ying actually came back this time to find the remaining three treasure maps. Only when their Pavilion Master gets them will he let Wu Ying go free." Su Mo said.
Sang Li smiled at her, "So what are you annoyed about? You've always lived in the moment, not one to think too far ahead, right?"
"But... these treasure maps relate to whether we four can go back or not!"
"Then let me ask you, if you put the three of us aside and it only impacted you, would you want to stay here because of Wu Ying?" Sang Li asked seriously.
Su Mo was stunned, "I... I haven't thought about that. I was always thinking about how the four of us would eventually go back."
"Then that means you don't want to stay here either!"
"But..." Su Mo scratched her head, "I want to go back yet I don't. That's why I'm annoyed! But this impacts the four of us, I can't selfishly make you guys stay too!"
Sang Li patted her head and smiled at her, "Alright, stop worrying so much. Wu Ying doesn't even have one treasure map yet. We'll talk when he finds them all! Why are you in such a hurry? Just cherish your time with him for now!"
Su Mo thought about it and it was as if everything suddenly became clear, "You're right, it won't be easy for him to find the other maps."
With this new realization, her worries seemed to vanish. She ran upstairs to play games with Xiao Han.
Watching Su Mo's back, Sang Li's expression darkened.
I'm sorry, Mo Mo.
Letting Wu Ying look for the treasure maps now is probably the best option.
Just then, Gu Zhi happened to return from outside. Seeing Sang Li at the counter, he quickly moved to hide his face and sneak inside.
But Sang Li had already spotted him.
"Gu Zhi!" Sang Li called out to him.
Gu Zhi froze in his steps, halted.
Sang Li walked over to him and saw he was covering his face. She leaned in closer to look and Gu Zhi hurriedly used his other hand to hide.
Sang Li grabbed his hand and pulled it away, revealing wounds on his face.
"What happened to your face?" Sang Li asked.
"I..." Gu Zhi lowered his head, "I fell by accident..."
"Fell?" Sang Li clearly didn't believe it. "Then where did you go?"
"I... went out to buy something."
"Buy what?"
"Just... bought a pair of shoes..."
"Then where are the shoes?"
"Um... they're custom made. I'll go get them in a few days!"
Seeing him stuttering, Sang Li didn't keep pressing him.
She glanced at him and sighed, "Gu Zhi, when you're conscious, you can't use your martial arts?"
Gu Zhi nodded, answering truthfully, "Yeah, I don't even know I can do martial arts."
"I went to find that so-called big brother you mentioned. He said he found you at Jade Spirit Mountain. When he saw you, it looks like you were practicing martial arts. He also said..."
Sang Li stared into his eyes, her tone probing, "One of your eyes was red..."
Hearing Sang Li's words, Gu Zhi reflexively covered his right eye.
He then froze in realization. Why did he subconsciously cover his right eye?
Seeing Sang Li scrutinizing him, he quickly put his hand down.
"Sister, I really don't know anything!" Gu Zhi quickly said.
Seeing the panic in him, Sang Li retracted her gaze.
"Let it be. Starting tonight, have Xiao Han try to help you regain your memories with acupuncture. " Sang Li walked toward the counter.
Gu Zhi immediately followed, a hint of grievance in his tone, "Sister, you're so eager for me to regain my memories, are you trying to chase me away?"
"Everyone has their own life to lead. You shouldn't keep following me. Missing your past memories leaves your life incomplete. Perhaps when you regain them, you'd want to leave on your own!"
Gu Zhi lowered his eyes, "What if after I regain my memories, I still don't want to leave? Would you make me then?"
Sang Li paused, "We'll talk after you regain your memories."
...
That night after treating Wu Ying, Xiao Han began to administer acupuncture on Gu Zhi as well.
The marks on Wu Ying's face had faded significantly over the past few days, now only very faint traces remained.
Looking at his sculpted features, Su Mo couldn't help but exclaim, "So handsome indeed!"
Wu Ying smiled and pulled her into his embrace, "Did you secretly peek at my looks in the beginning?"
Su Mo rolled her eyes, denying it, "I... did not!"
"Is that so?" Wu Ying looked into her eyes, threatening, "If you don't tell the truth, I'll have to resort to extreme measures."
Su Mo blinked, "What extreme measures?"
Wu Ying pinched her waist and backed her against the bed frame, "What do you think?"
As he spoke, Wu Ying dipped his head to kiss her.
But just before his lips met Su Mo's, she quickly raised a hand to cover her mouth.
Wu Ying frowned unhappily at being blocked. He gave her a look, "Mo Mo, don't make me use force."
Su Mo glared at him, "You dare!"
"Why wouldn't I?" His lips curved up mockingly. "You're no match for me..."
Su Mo stayed silent.
Wu Ying grabbed both her wrists in one hand and pinned them behind her back.
Then he dipped his head and captured her lips.
Su Mo tried to kick him with her knee but it seemed Wu Ying had anticipated it. He hooked a foot behind her knee joint, causing them both to topple onto the bed.
Wu Ying chuckled softly, "So... you like it this way?"
Still holding both her hands captive over her head, he leaned down to kiss her again.
At first, Su Mo deliberately struggled a bit.
But only for a bit.
Wu Ying's gentle sucking and nibbling caused Su Mo to abandon resistance as she began responding to him.
After a long time, Wu Ying finally pulled back.
His desire-laced eyes stared at her red and swollen lips.
His Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.
"Mo Mo..." His hoarse voice came out quietly. "I'm really looking forward... to our wedding night..."
"Hmph!" Su Mo let out an indignant snort. "You pervert! You're looking forward to the night of nuptial bliss huh?"
"..."
Is it ok to say it so blatantly?
Wu Ying laughed softly. "Well, you can put it that way."
Su Mo glared at him. "Wu Ying! Now you're more of a pervert than me!"
Wu Ying kissed her forehead, quirking a brow, "You're the one who taught me."
"..."
Taught his ass! She was greatly wronged!
