Quick Transmigration: After Fake Death, All the Protagonists I Flirted With Went Crazy

Chapter 174 Ingratitude and Deceit (9)

Time flies when you're in the capital.

Autumn arrived in the blink of an eye.

Bu Shaoluan has been living in Gu Yao's courtyard for almost a year now.

Gu Yao disliked those expensive varieties of chrysanthemums and peonies, so he had them all transplanted to grow osmanthus.

Now that it's autumn, it looks quite beautiful.

After spending a long time in the courtyard, even Gu Yao was covered in the fragrance of osmanthus.

As lunchtime approached, Baili Weisheng, who was playing chess opposite him, became noticeably more agitated.

Gu Yao looked at the headstrong young man and smiled slightly.

He raised his hand and slowly placed a piece on the chessboard.

"Why is Junior Tutor Baili so agitated?"

Baili Weisheng glanced at the courtyard gate, then turned and hurriedly placed a piece on the chessboard.

Gu Yao looked at the white pieces on the chessboard, which had reached a dead end, and put down the black pieces in his hand.

"Lord Baili's mind is no longer on the game of chess. Let's stop here for today. It's a pity to waste such a good game."

Upon hearing this, Baili Weisheng looked at the chessboard; the white pieces had no way to survive.

He stood up, cupped his hands in a salute, and said, "My lord, I am truly sorry."

Gu Yao slowly picked up the chess pieces from the board and put the white and black pieces back into the chess box.

After all the white and black pieces were placed in their respective positions, he looked up at the top scholar who was still bowing in front of him.

The young man in front of him had his head down, looking submissive and obedient.

Gu Yao picked up the teacup and took a sip.

His gaze lazily fell on Baili Weisheng, "Why is Lord Baili unable to calm his mind today?"

Baili Weisheng bent down even further, feeling uncomfortable all over when he thought about Qi Shaoluan's murderous gaze.

But this cannot be said to Manager Shen.

Now he's caught in a dilemma.

Baili Weisheng sighed.

"It was my fault for disturbing Your Excellency's enjoyment."

Gu Yao smiled upon hearing this.

Now they're behaving very well.

He recalled that in the beginning, this top scholar was extremely arrogant.

They dared to call him a eunuch in court, right in front of him.

She became so obedient after being saved by him once.

Gu Yao sensed Baili Weisheng's tension and found the young scholar rather intriguing.

I was just about to say a few more teasing words.

The sound of a wolf cub could be heard from outside the door.

"Lord of the Seal."

The boy's voice was slightly unsteady with breathlessness, and his pace was very hurried.

Bu Shaoluan strode into the main room and immediately spotted Baili Weisheng in his blue robes. This was the third time he had seen this eyesore in a while.

Gu Yao shifted his gaze from the young man in front of him to Bu Shaoluan.

As Baili Weisheng bowed slightly, he felt a burning gaze fall on his back, causing him discomfort.

Heavens above, someone please save him!

Baili Weisheng felt like a punching bag caught between the two of them.

Dilemma.

Bu Shaoluan met Shen Xuntang's gaze, smiled, and stepped forward.

"Lord of the Seal, Mr. Baili."

He first bowed to Shen Xuntang, who was sitting in the seat of honor, and then, as if he had just noticed Baili Weisheng, he turned around and bowed to Baili Weisheng as well.

Gu Yao lowered his head and took a sip of tea, pretending not to see the boy's childish behavior.

They had been glaring at each other for so long.

Now you're pretending to be an innocent, naive girl.

They've become increasingly outrageous.

Baili Weisheng felt a little embarrassed, but it wasn't appropriate to return the greeting in this posture.

Seeing Baili Weisheng's somewhat embarrassed appearance, Gu Yao smiled gently, "Lord Baili, today's game doesn't count, you still owe me a game. Tomorrow is your day off, I'll be waiting for you here."

Upon hearing this, Baili Weisheng stiffened. Under Gu Yao's ambiguous smile and Bu Shaoluan's murderous glare, he had no choice but to agree.

"I will definitely come to keep the appointment tomorrow."

Gu Yao nodded in satisfaction.

Seeing the little wolf cub's displeased expression and Baili Weisheng's anxious look as if he wanted to run away as soon as possible, he suddenly had some wicked thoughts.

"Lord Baili, would you please stay for lunch?"

Upon hearing this, Bu Shaoluan stared wide-eyed at Gu Yao.

Her eyes revealed a hint of grievance.

It was as if his exclusive privilege had been taken away by someone else.

It's no longer special.

Thinking of this, Bu Shaoluan's dark gaze fell on Baili Weisheng, who had stopped in his tracks.

It was as if if he agreed, they could tear his neck apart in the next second.

Bai Liwei felt a chill run down his spine and quickly declined.

"I have an elderly mother waiting for me at home, so I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint the magistrate's kind intentions."

In fact, Gu Yao was just mentioning it casually. If Baili Weisheng really stayed, the little wolf cub would probably go crazy.

But it's still okay to tease them.

A hint of regret appeared on his face. "In that case, I can't force you to stay. I was thinking of discussing next year's imperial examination with Lord Baili, but let's talk about it tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Baili Weisheng looked up, feeling a pang of regret. He wanted to change his mind, but was intimidated by a single glance from Bu Shaoluan.

Forget it, saving my life is the most important thing.

Baili Weisheng bowed and withdrew.

Bu Shaoluan stood to the side in front of Gu Yao, his gaze fixed on the departing figure, his expression inscrutable.

Gu Yao, however, was quite interested in glancing at the wolf cub out of the corner of his eye.

If looks could kill, Baili Weisheng would probably have died countless times by now.

Gu Yao smiled slightly and spoke to bring the little wolf cub back to his senses.

"What did Your Highness learn today? Was General Chen's instruction thorough?"

Upon hearing this, Bu Shaoluan withdrew his gaze. When Shen Xuntang mentioned Chen Qing, he recalled that somewhat fierce face, and his body began to ache again.

Chen Qing's mockery rang in her ears again. Bu Shaoluan gritted her teeth and smiled.

"General Chen taught me the seal very well, but my foundation is too weak, and I always make him angry."

The boy subtly revealed a hint of grievance, as if trying to gain the young man's sympathy.

Gu Yao pretended not to see it.

This is what wolf cubs use.

Her acting skills haven't improved at all.

Gu Yao pretended to be blind, got up and patted the boy in front of him on the shoulder.

"Your Highness must work hard, for things will soon become quite turbulent."

Bu Shaoluan, who did not receive the comfort from the young man as usual, pursed his lips somewhat unwillingly.

He unconsciously twirled his fingers, as if trying to grasp something.

But they didn't manage to catch anything.

The more he interacted with Shen Xuntang, the more resentful he became.

He wanted Shen Xuntang to indulge him further, to spoil him even more.

I want those beautiful eyes that can only hold me.

However, Shen Xuntang's attitude was like a warning that was neither too strong nor too weak.

He is nothing more than a plaything that Shen Xuntang can discard at any time.

They're no different from cats and dogs.

Shen Xuntang indulged him only because he had some use to him.

Gu Yao had already walked to the table and beckoned to the young man, "Your Highness, it's time for lunch."

Those caramel-colored eyes shone with a soft light, their gaze encompassing only her own reflection.

Looking at that beautiful face with a gentle smile, Bu Shaoluan felt that the autumn scenery outside the door was no match for the charm of the person in front of him.

He suddenly felt his heart rate fluctuate and quickly lowered his eyes to avoid the young man's gentle gaze.

He walked to the table, sitting two seats away from Shen Xuntang.

Gu Yao didn't pay too much attention to the boy who wasn't sticking to her side like usual.

Kids need to be left to air out too.

So as not to let him really think that I have no bottom line when it comes to him.
