But Gou Hun’s face was truly thick. The slap I gave him six days ago still made my palm ache. After fully recovering, a task from Task Jun was already pending. I estimated that if I didn’t show up soon, he would flip the table.
Task Jun always looked serious and never smiled.
“What? What’s this task?”
Task Jun kept a straight face, looking unsurprised: “Peach blossoms.”
I exclaimed angrily: “Enough! Last time was a sword, this time peach blossoms, what’s next? Bringing out a stone!”
Task Jun thoughtfully nodded, reaching to flip through his task book: “Let me check if there’s a stone task…”
I stiffened, smiling like a flower: “Actually, peach blossoms are quite nice.”
Task Jun: “No, I’ll still check if there’s a stone task.”
Receiving a frustratingly depressing task, my steps became even heavier. Returning home and taking the God Realm token, as soon as I went out, I saw Gou Hun standing there again.
Hmm, good. His face was indeed still swollen.
Seeing him approach, I panicked and directly jumped over the courtyard’s low fence. Unexpectedly, my skirt got caught on something, and I heavily fell into the mud.
“Gou Hun leaped over, helping me up. I threw mud back in his face: “Why are you calling me so urgently? Your ambiguous call might prevent me from getting married!”
“Then marry me.”
My body stiffened, staring at him and laughing hysterically, laughing until my stomach hurt: “Gou Hun, can you not speak so matter-of-factly? Do you remember what you said back then, that I no longer excited you? That was the most ridiculous breakup reason I’ve ever heard.”
Gou Hun wrapped his arm around my body, staring at me intently: “That wasn’t my true feelings.”
“Okay, then tell me why you didn’t want me and went to hook up with Nü Zun Jun back then.” I sat in the mud, facing him directly, staring quietly.
Gou Hun moved his lips, finally saying: “I can’t say. Just believe me…”
I interrupted him: “I don’t have time to waste with you! If you don’t let go, and I’m delayed at the Heavenly Road checkpoint from completing my task, I’ll be punished.”
