Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 251: Chapter 149: Who Will Help Her Undress Chapter 251: Chapter 149: Who Will Help Her Undress “If I say you’re an exhibitionist, then you’re an exhibitionist, if I say you’re a pervert, then you’re a pervert. What’s there to argue about, huh? Your defense is clearly a case of the more you cover up, the more you reveal, making feeble excuses!” Gu Changsheng took the offensive, putting on quite the act of an infuriated accuser playing the victim!

From behind the crack of the door, Zhou Mu caught a glimpse of that slender figure and spoke indulgently, “Alright, whatever you say goes, but are you sure, we should be discussing this topic like this?”

Zhou Mu felt that, even if he pulled a little stunt and flirted with the woman he was smitten with, fundamentally speaking, he still considered himself a true gentleman, definitely respectable!

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but think about their current situation…

And then, in an instant, he turned into a red-hot spicy crayfish, his whole body blushing from the inside out.

It was a dark and windy night, and they were merely two steps apart, separated by a single door.

One inside, naked as the day she was born. Bare-naked…

One outside, standing there making feeble excuses…

No matter how you looked at it, the scene was weird!

“Actually, if you really want to watch me change clothes up close, I truly don’t mind…” Zhou Mu fanned the flames upon seeing this.

Sure enough, Gu Changsheng instantly went from a spicy crayfish to a stir-fried blood cake… his whole body flushed red with a hint of purple, his face a mixture of red and green!

“You don’t mind! Your mother minds!”

No other word for it: Run!

If she stayed any longer, she’d definitely die from excessive blood flow and skin congestion!

Gu Changsheng fled in a panic, diving headfirst into the quilt, still hearing Zhou Mu’s murmured mutterings in her ears.

“Am I really that ugly, not even as good-looking as those Japanese adult films?”

Gu Changsheng suddenly choked on a mouthful of blood in her throat.

Dammit! He must have eavesdropped on her!

He absolutely did it on purpose!

Whimpering… bullied!

Thinking of his face, so stunning it seemed otherworldly like an exiled immortal, and his robust waist… Gu Changsheng had to admit, Zhou Mu was so much more attractive than the studs in those Japanese adult films, completely a knockout!

Acutally, he was a one-shot-kill kind of knockout!

Although she thought this way, Gu Changsheng still roared in infinite irritation towards the direction of the Clean room, “If you don’t speak, no one will assume you’re mute. Make another peep, and be careful I castrate you!”

Damn it, castrate you, so you can’t charm all living creatures, incite people’s wild thoughts, and lead them into temptation!

“Haha…” The next moment, a soft chuckle came from the Clean room, “That won’t do. Even if you want to end up a lonely widow, I wouldn’t have the heart to allow it, so this is something I can’t let you do as you please.”

“Who is going to end up a lonely widow? You’re the lonely widow! Did I agree to marry you?”

Gu Changsheng sat up angrily in bed, fixedly staring at the folding screen as if in a daze, wishing she could rush over the next instant and give Zhou Mu in the Clean room a good pounding!

That bastard! Heavenly Father had already pit her by making her an Abandoned Wife, and now this shameless Zhou Mu had the audacity to curse her to become a widow again!

This was unbearable, others might endure it, but Gu Changsheng could not!

“Zhou Mu I’m telling you, I never said I’d marry you!” She really hadn’t!

It wouldn’t be that easy to marry her!

If obtained too easily, one wouldn’t cherish it. Even if she acknowledged her feelings for him, Gu Changsheng wouldn’t let him have his way so easily!

A life full of hardships was her lot; it would be unreasonable for Zhou Mu to have everything go his way.

The often envious Gu Changsheng secretly decided that, damn it, even if it wasn’t the ordeal of 81 difficulties, she’d have to set up at least 49 hurdles. Even if their love faded with time, she’d make him realize she was the kind of person whom it’s bland to possess, but a pity to abandon!

“You’ve looked, you’ve hugged, you’ve held, you’ve kissed, are you planning to deny and shirk responsibility now?” Zhou Mu, now fully dressed, swept past the folding screen gracefully.

Beneath the dim night, he wore a cloud-white robe that flowed without wind, his sharply defined face bathed in moonlight, shimmering brilliantly; his inky hair, still damp, loosely spread over his shoulders, exuding a unique charm…

In such a moment, Gu Changsheng’s gaze couldn’t help but become a little dazed.

Don’t blame her for being starstruck; Zhou Mu was simply too handsome, his beauty almost devilish, different from Yue Xilou’s coquettish allure, Zhou Mu’s beauty held a decisive warrior’s spirit…

Somehow, when his gaze met hers, unlike his usual coldness towards others, it was always filled with lingering tenderness. Those bottomless eyes held an affection, indulgence, and tolerance towards her that she couldn’t ignore…

And now, he was looking at her with a silent expression of grievance, like a resentful abandoned woman, wordlessly accusing her of wanting to evade responsibility!

Gu Changsheng, faced with a stern Zhou Mu, could dismiss him with utter indifference, but in the face of this strange Zhou Mu, she didn’t know what to do for a moment.

After hesitating for a moment, then hesitating again, Gu Changsheng finally pointed to a nearby clothes rack, “That… there’s a brocade handkerchief over there, you should dry your hair first.”

After such a long journey, it would be bad if he caught a cold.

But Zhou Mu glanced at the towel and then shook his head, continuing to stare at her with his mournful gaze.

“Do you truly not want to take responsibility and plan to weasel out of it?”

The voice was so full of woe, it outperformed even an Oscar-winning actor in depth!

But Gu Changsheng had no time to think about that, confronted with such a Zhou Mu, she indeed felt somewhat awkward, “Zhou Mu, this style totally doesn’t suit you. You are better off with your usual demeanor, cool and aloof, expressionless…”

Style? What’s that? Zhou Mu frowned slightly but still insisted on looking at Gu Changsheng with a determined gaze, as if she wouldn’t rest until she gave an answer.

As their eyes met, the atmosphere fell into an oddly eerie silence.

Unsurprisingly, Gu Changsheng was the first to concede defeat, raising her hands in surrender, “Okay, okay, I give up, I promise I won’t bail on you! Just dry your hair first, we have plenty of time to argue about this later.”

Just taking responsibility, who’s afraid of whom!

Thinking about the long march of 25,000 li, Gu Changsheng secretly clenched her paw—she decided she was going to stick this out with him to the bitter end.

The next moment, the inner chamber became as warm as spring, and Zhou Mu suddenly smiled, devastatingly charming, and obediently began wiping his hair with a brocade handkerchief.

His devastatingly charming smile came so unexpectedly that it nearly blinded Gu Changsheng.

Such a quick change, dammit, was that too sudden?

“Damn it!” Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but curse.

Bloody banana, she was tricked! Zhou Mu was definitely doing it on purpose!

Having been deceived repeatedly, Gu Changsheng’s mood plummeted to rock bottom, and she lay on the bed like a dead fish.

The Handsome Man Strategy, eh? Zhou Mu must have had an awakening, finally realizing he could use his natural advantages?

Distant gaze… mournful expression…

This left her, someone utterly defenseless against beauty, wondering how she was supposed to live from now on…

Zhou Mu, having dried his hair, couldn’t help but curve his lips slightly, a fleeting moment of youthful beauty, limitless romance, and placed a dragonfly-kiss on Gu Changsheng’s pure white forehead, an indulgent look on his face, “Why do you armor yourself so fiercely? Even if I were a villain, copper walls and iron ramparts couldn’t stop me.”

His fingers brushed against her swollen red lips, and Zhou Mu’s eyes deepened.

He suddenly turned, quickly heading towards the soft couch prepared for him, “Until the day you wear the Phoenix Crown and Cape and enter through the door with proper marriage, I won’t overstep. Rest early.”

The feigned corpse, Gu Changsheng, couldn’t help but roll her eyes, dammit, you’d like to overstep, but you’d have to up your skills first!

A kiss that felt like mutual slaughter, Gu Changsheng didn’t have high hopes for anything else!

Moreover, Zhou Mu’s evildoer boundary for overstepping was truly ludicrous, just as he said, hugged, kissed, and now talking about overstepping, isn’t it a bit too late?

Nonetheless, Gu Changsheng wholeheartedly believed what Zhou Mu said.

A little flirtation is pleasant, but he definitely wouldn’t make any more excessive moves.

Seeing that he had already laid down to rest, Gu Changsheng suddenly realized how stuffy she was.

Heavens, she was wrapped in too many clothes, the sash tied too tightly, she was nearly suffocating and running out of breath.

If a living person could be suffocated by clothes, she, Gu Changsheng would be considered a truly unique phenomenon. Nothing else mattered; she needed to undress and go to bed stat!

I pull, I tug, I tear…

The stubborn knot on her sash seemed to be competing with Gu Changsheng, getting tighter the more she wrestled with it…

Gentleness was futile, and with a sink or swim mentality, Gu Changsheng was ready to go all-in!

Worst comes to worst, she’d just have Xiao Cui sew a new sash tomorrow…

But no matter how hard Gu Changsheng tried, that sash simply wouldn’t budge, showing no signs of breaking…

A surge of anger welled up inside Gu Changsheng, and she couldn’t help cursing Yuan Bao in her heart, what the hell kind of fabric had he prepared for her, was it indestructible…

After a fierce struggle with no success, Gu Changsheng had no choice but to turn around and look reluctantly at Zhou Mu, who was reclining on the couch, “Uh… I can’t untie it…”

Let heaven strike her with lightning and let her die a proper death!

Zhou Mu, seeing this, lifted the thin blanket, turned over, and with a face of resignation, said, “Most of the time you are wise and decisive, how can you be so dumb sometimes?”

The scolded dumb one, Gu Changsheng, was close to tears, “I don’t want to be, but this sash, I don’t even know what fabric it’s made of, it’s been so stubborn with me…”

Zhou Mu sat on the edge of the bed, leaning over to wrestle with the sash, “This is Tears of Blood Mermaid Gauze from the South Sea Spirit Island. It’s said that the merfolk’s tears turn into pearls, and this is made from their hair mixed with pearl powder, exceeding tough, unable to be cut by ordinary swords. It takes three years to make one piece. I heard you liked red clothing, so I had it sourced.”

After he finished speaking, Gu Changsheng felt even more wronged, pointing her finger accusingly at him, “No wonder I couldn’t tear it, the culprit is you, and you dare call me dumb!”

“A dead knot by nature gets tighter with more force; it’s strange that you would untie it by pulling that hard.”

“But I tried gently, and obviously it didn’t work. I thought it preferred non-violence.”

Gu Changsheng watched as the stubborn knot came undone in Zhou Mu’s hands, her heart aching with bright sadness…

She had struggled with that stubborn knot for so long, it only got tighter, yet how did it come undone so easily in Zhou Mu’s hands?

Could it be that even untying a knot is face-dependent?
