Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 150: Chapter 83: Sharing a Bed Wow_2

The crux of the matter is right here! Passed out!

“Zhou Mu, dare you say that again to me?” she gritted her teeth, the grinding sound clearly audible.

“Say it again? As if that would change the fact that it happened,” Zhou Mu turned over, facing Gu Changsheng, her long eyelashes trembling before she finally cracked her eyes open slightly.

Gu Changsheng felt like a deflated ball, her half-propped body no longer able to support itself as she tumbled toward the bed.

Indeed, say it again, and it still happened! She’s the one who slept with someone else!

A strong arm quickly caught Gu Changsheng’s falling body, gently placing her on the bed without hurry to withdraw.

...

“Go to sleep.”

Those two simple words turned Gu Changsheng’s petrified body stiff…

If you ask her what she least wants to hear right now, it’s “sleep”!

This is a rhythm that simply forbids closing one’s eyes!

The warm breath coming from the person beside her constantly reminded her that there was a live man lying next to her.

This is truly a maddening situation!

The arm beside her moved.

Gu Changsheng’s body trembled.

The thin blanket slowly covered her shoulders; Gu Changsheng’s heart fluttered with the blanket, finally focusing all its attention on the burning palm that refused to leave her shoulder…

“Sleep!”

Those two words again! Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but inwardly curse Zhou Mu’s mother once more; evildoers are born from their mothers, the woman who could give birth to Zhou Mu, an evildoer, must surely surpass evil itself!

“Zhou Mu!” she continued to grit her teeth, Gu Changsheng not knowing what else to say to change her current embarrassing predicament.

She could no longer tell whether it was the warmth of Zhou Mu, who encircled her, that was intense, or if it was her own wound causing a fever again. Either way, she felt as if she were being roasted on a fire, just a sprinkle of seasoning away from being served at the table!

She needed to sneak to the other side of the bed; otherwise, she’d be thoroughly cooked before dawn!

“Gu Changsheng, I’m sorry.”

A muttered whisper made Gu Changsheng, who was slowly moving to the side of the bed, pause.

Hesitantly, she turned her head to look at the closed eyes in the pitch-darkness.

“Gu Changsheng, I’m sorry.”

“It’s my fault you got hurt.”

“I’m glad you’re all right.”

The hand on her shoulder moved, and the slight distance Gu Changsheng had shifted returned to square one.

All efforts wasted!

Gu Changsheng sulkily pursed her lips; she’s alright?

Are you blind? Her back is still wounded! Are you visually impaired, or are you just fooling yourself?

“I went to the battlefield at thirteen, killed for the first time, and I was never afraid.”

“I was disowned by the Eastern Palace at fifteen, cast away by my parents, but I wasn’t afraid then, either.”

“Exiled to restricted lands, forbidden from ever entering the Capital City, I never feared.”

Gu Changsheng’s body gradually relaxed with his words…

“Gu Changsheng, when General Er said you were gravely injured, that’s when I truly felt fear…”

“Gu Changsheng, in my life, I’ve braved the eastern winds and straddled warhorses, commanding awe and respect in all directions, I thought the world was sufficient with Zhou Mu alone, but it unexpectedly included you as well.”

Gu Changsheng’s expression grew more and more serious as he listened to Zhou Mu’s words.

What the heck is he trying to say?

“Gu Changsheng, since you are in my heart, I promise you black hair turning white, never to leave nor forsake you, life and death together, everything as you wish. Can you promise to take care of yourself for me?”

The palm on his shoulder slowly moved down.

It moved to the wound etched in his memory, where the Secret Guards reported that he got one scar while saving villagers next door and another saving her family under a shower of arrows…

At that critical moment, hanging by a thread, he didn’t dare to imagine…

In his life of commanding authority, he had long grown indifferent to life and death, yet he didn’t expect to be defeated by this woman!

If defeated, then it was a defeat!

Nothing more than a promise sealed with one’s life!

“Zhou Mu, I…” Gu Changsheng softly called out but didn’t know how to continue.

He actually promised her a lifetime of togetherness, life and death together, never parting, just asking for her to promise him to take care of herself?

This was the most beautifully sweet love talk she’d ever heard…

Even someone as tough as her could feel anxious and scared…

On that frightful night, she actually faced it with resignation to her likely death…

“Gu Changsheng, if you fancy these vast lands, I will take them as a betrothal gift for you. One day, I will indeed dress you in the Phoenix Crown and Cape and see you seated upon the highest throne.”

“Uh…” He made the Emperor’s Golden Throne sound like cabbages at a market, easy to pick one after another.

“Gu Changsheng, if you prefer roaming between mountains and rivers, I am willing to give up my title and power for you, to stay with the clouds and cranes, content in the countryside, to live the simple life.”

“Uh…” The tree wishes to stay still while the wind keeps blowing; this seems harder than snatching that Golden Throne from the Emperor!

“Gu Changsheng, no matter what you desire, with all I have, I will make your wishes come true, is that okay?”

“Uh…”

Now Gu Changsheng realized that he had just been confessed to!

However, Zhou Mu the evildoer’s confession was somewhat unique!

The location was a bit special, on the bed!

The words used were a bit special, implicit!

The love talk was a bit special, not chosen!

If not for his intelligence and deep understanding, he might take this to be a deeply moving confession, one that would make countless women willingly walk through fire and water for!

But think about it from another perspective, and it’s different…

Being confessed to in bed, could she refuse? The answer is clear, no!

Such an implicit confession, if she were to respond carelessly or too simply, wouldn’t she appear to be full of herself?

And most importantly, it’s phrased like a question, asking if it’s okay with her? But does she even have a choice?

Doesn’t seem like it, right?

Seeing no response from the person in his arms for a long time, Zhou Mu slowly opened his eyes. His normally cold eyes were now warm and gentle, but before him, under the moonlight, Gu Changsheng’s eyes were wide open, blinking rapidly.

“Alright, don’t trouble your brain any longer, sleep…”

Gently adjusting her into a comfortable position and firmly embracing her, Zhou Mu slowly closed his eyes.

Having her is really nice.

He was truly tired…
