Chapter 575: Chi Yu Says This Is My Precious Darling

The sky was ablaze with sunset, like a painting colored with crayons.

Golden twilight spread across the wooden boards of the pavilion, half illuminating the room and half shining on the railing.

At that moment, Chi Yu was holding his daughter as they arrived at the doorstep, and he looked up to see Gu Yuan coming out of the house. Her visage was so beautiful and gentle that Chi Yu slowed his steps, watching her: "Where are you headed?"

Gu Yuan replied, "To pick you up."

He thought she was joking. Perhaps after being scolded today, he felt her gentleness was just a facade.

Sure enough, as the pain from the twist of his arm reached his central nervous system, he couldn’t hold his expression together as he had hoped. He opened his mouth, bared his teeth, hissed, and finally shouted—

"Ouch!"

It truly hurt.

Suisui, nestled in Chi Yu’s arms, perfectly mimicked Chi Yu’s expression: "┗|｀O′|┛ Ow, it hurts~~"

Chi Yu: "..."

This was his own daughter.

Don’t get angry.

Due to Gu Yuan’s twist, Chi Yu’s pained expression distorted, and those eyes, usually particularly cold and indifferent, seemed to glisten with shallow droplets.

Pitiful, delicate, innocent—every word fit him at this moment.

Gu Yuan gently asked, "Does it hurt?"

Chi Yu: "It hurts."

Suisui: "It hurts, it hurts~"

Chi Yu looked down at the little one in his arms who was enjoying herself, and sternly said, "Close your mouth."

Suisui covered her little mouth, but the eyes exposed outside were crescent-shaped, clearly showing how happy she was.

Gu Yuan watched the father and daughter pair in front of her.

The little one was worrisome, and the big one was just as troublesome; they made her worry every day.

Chi Yu set his daughter down.

As soon as Suisui got down, she dashed into the house.

Yao Tao and Sheng Yi, who had watched the commotion, emerged with Sheng Yi carrying Suisui away, laughing heartily as he passed Chi Yu.

The laughter made Chi Yu’s face turn green.

Upon hearing Sheng Yi laugh, Yao Tao couldn’t hold back either, though her laughter wasn’t as uninhibited as Sheng Yi’s; she was suppressing it, not showing it too obviously.

Yao Tao didn’t realize that her restrained laughter was even more maddening.

"Mom, eat fish, I’m going to play with godmother, bye-bye~"

Before leaving, Suisui didn’t forget to say goodbye to Chi Yu and Gu Yuan, waving her little hand.

Gu Yuan said, "Go on."

As soon as they left, only Gu Yuan and Chi Yu were left behind.

Gu Yuan turned to go inside, not forgetting to pull Chi Yu’s wrist: "Come in."

She wanted to take advantage of this undisturbed time to talk to Chi Yu about what had been happening with him lately. Of course, Gu Yuan was still unaware of Chi Yu’s sleepwalking incidents, as Sheng Yi hadn’t told her, nor had Chi Yu mentioned it.

She wanted to discuss Chi Yu’s claims over the phone that his memory becomes confused after arriving in Ancient Water Village, with imprints of the village mixed up but unclear about what had actually occurred here.

This was why Gu Yuan had rushed to Ancient Water Village after returning from Yanjing.

She hadn’t yet asked about it.

As the door locked, she hadn’t had a chance to turn around when Chi Yu had already locked the door, pressing her onto the bed and kissing her face-to-face.

The kisses weren’t messy, but rather too fervent; Gu Yuan couldn’t bear it, pushing his chin away, her hands saying, "Aren’t you done kissing?"

Chi Yu whispered, "How could I ever be done kissing?"

He pretended to kiss down again.

"That’s enough, Chi Yu." Gu Yuan hurriedly pushed him away, sat up, and straightened the collar he had messed up.

Not noticing was fine, but upon seeing it, she realized there was a faint red mark below the collarbone from where he had bitten.

Such behavior of a dog?

Her expression was slightly exasperated.

Little did she know such an expression was even more enchanting.

The man beside her slowly sat up, his collar casually open, hands propped on the edge of the bed, slightly leaning back, appearing both satisfied and wanting more; if Gu Yuan’s resolve were weaker, he wouldn’t have been so bold.

As she adjusted her collar, noting his closing in, Gu Yuan slightly sidestepped; his nose just lightly grazed her cheek, her voice soft, "Stop fooling around."

He said, "Alright, no fooling."

Then, instead of propping himself on the bed, he wrapped an arm around her slender waist, his pointed chin resting in the crook of her neck, breathing softly, tickling, comfortable, yet uncomfortable.

In such a posture, he couldn’t help but stick to her.

"I heard you told the program crew about our relationship?" She asked with a half-smile, not looking directly at him.
