"I'm not angry anymore. Quickly tell him to stop." I finally caved in. I admitted that he had defeated me.
"Stop." With a single command from Gu Yuan, the barber's hand froze in mid - air and didn't move any closer. The clipper was only about a centimeter away from my scalp.
If it had been a second later, my hair would have been shaved off.
"I'm not getting my hair cut."
Gu Yuan controlled my body and walked out of the barbershop.
I just couldn't control my own body. If I could, I'd be hopping mad right now.
"Is this girl a fool?"
"She must have suffered some kind of shock."
"She's probably had a breakup. It's easy for girls her age to do abnormal things after a breakup."
The clerks in the barbershop were discussing me in hushed tones as they watched my crazy behavior.
I was standing outside the barbershop when suddenly my body relaxed. Gu Yuan walked out of my body.
"You..." I turned around, about to explode.
Gu Yuan grabbed my hand directly, leaned down, and gently pressed his lips against mine.
In that second, I froze, my eyes wide open as I stared at Gu Yuan's fair and well - defined handsome face.
I was finally defeated by him. My hands reached up to his neck, and his hands slowly grasped my waist.
Staring blankly at Gu Yuan's fluttering eyelashes, I gradually closed my eyes and savored his sweetness.
People in the barbershop craned their necks out and started cheering. They probably never would have guessed that a girl with such a dirty face would be making out with a man who was so good - looking that he could turn heads.
And it was a passionate kiss, the kind you know...
Suddenly, I felt extremely satisfied. I had the feeling of being the heroine in a sweet romance novel.
It wasn't until my breathing became a bit rapid that Gu Yuan reluctantly let me go.
"I'm sorry about what happened before." Gu Yuan held my face gently and said.
I could hardly believe my ears. He was actually apologizing to me.
Was this still the Third Master Liu I knew?
I pursed my lips and didn't answer him, but I had already forgiven him in my heart.
"Gu Yuan, don't take such risks in the future. I'll be heartbroken." I pointed to my chest and said.
"I hope you put your own life first. Only then can you better protect the people around you, right?"
Gu Yuan hooked the corner of his mouth and pulled me into his arms again.
Just then, Yan Lin and the others were out of class and rushed over to us.
When Yan Lin saw my face, he burst out laughing.
Only then did I remember that my face was filthy.
"Yan Lin, don't laugh."
But Gu Yuan said indifferently, "As long as I think it's beautiful, that's enough."
After the two of us made up, I was curious about what deal Gu Yuan had made with Hu Qingluan and why she was so protective of him.
After we got home, Gu Yuan held my hand and led me into the bedroom. I didn't want to keep guessing, so I asked.
"Jixiang said you had a deal with Hu Qingluan. Can you tell me what it is?"
I said this while hugging his neck. Such an intimate gesture would make the conversation less like an interrogation.
Seeing my current look, Gu Yuan gently scraped the tip of my nose with his index finger and said, "Are you jealous?"
I pouted and looked up at the ceiling, coquettishly saying, "I'm not jealous at all."
Gu Yuan hooked the corner of his mouth and showed a charming smile. "What's in it for me if I tell you?"
"Um, how about I give you something?"
"What will you give me?"
I let go of his neck, got off him, and rummaged through my backpack to take out the gift I had prepared.
"I had this specially made by a craftsman. It's exactly the same as the silver bell you gave me. Although it's a replica and not as precious as yours, I hope you'll wear it every day and remember that there's someone always worried about your safety. That's enough."
I picked up Gu Yuan's hand and tied the silver bell around his wrist. It fit perfectly.
"Is this okay?"
Gu Yuan gently touched the silver bell, and it didn't ring.
"I didn't put the bell clapper in. I was afraid it would bother you."
"It looks good." Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said.
"Can you tell me now?"
He hugged me in his arms again and told me that his agreement with Hu Qingluan was to get rid of the demon king.
Actually, when he heard the phone ring that day, he knew it was Hu Qingluan's doing.
So while I was sleeping, he went out to find Hu Qingluan.
Hu Qingluan had no choice either. Because one of her disciples had accidentally signed a spiritual cat blood contract with the demon king, and her body was controlled by the demon king, which led to the framing of Yan Lin.
Hu Qingluan couldn't handle it alone and didn't want to directly ask Gu Yuan for help, so she came up with the idea of making that phone call, forcing Gu Yuan to meet her. Then she told Gu Yuan that the demon king already knew about my yin bones and would surely not let it go. This indirectly helped Gu Yuan make up his mind to get rid of the demon king.
Hu Qingluan knew that I was worried about my best friend, so I would definitely ask Gu Yuan to open the ghost gate. Hu Qingluan could then join hands with Gu Yuan to retrieve Han Mengyao's soul and find Yan Lin's soul at the same time, killing two birds with one stone.
Who would have thought that things would change? Yan Lin had absorbed my yang energy, and only I could go to the underworld to find Yan Lin's soul.
After opening the ghost gate, Gu Yuan's magical power would surely decline sharply. The demon king would definitely come after me to take my yin bones. So Hu Qingluan promised Gu Yuan that she would hold the demon king off for a while. Once he regained his strength, he could deal with the demon king.
No one could have imagined that the demon king would use the Immortal - Suppressing Formation, a formation of the immortals, to suppress Gu Yuan.
Hu Qingluan also said that because there were some problems with saving people in the underworld, she was late. The rest of the things were pretty much the same as what I saw.
After Gu Yuan finished telling me this, I still had doubts about Hu Qingluan. She was definitely not that simple.
She was much more powerful than me and Jixiang. We had fought with that big black cat at the ghost gate, and we had come back earlier than her. She was definitely lying.
I didn't know why Gu Yuan was so protective of her. Gu Yuan wasn't a fool. He must have seen that Hu Qingluan had an ulterior motive.
But since he didn't want to say, I didn't ask anymore. He must have his own plans.
Seeing that I was silent, Gu Yuan directly changed the subject.
"On such a beautiful night, let's not talk about the past. How about we think about the present?"
He pulled me onto his lap and held me tightly in his arms.
"It's been ten days. We haven't seen each other for ten days. Don't you miss me?" Gu Yuan's voice was teasing, making my bones go soft.
"Why didn't you contact me for ten days?" I pouted, pretending to be angry.
"I went to the underworld. Hu Qingluan said she saw an old acquaintance of mine there."
"An old acquaintance?"
Gu Yuan didn't say any more. There was a charming smile on his handsome face. "Do you miss me or not?"
"What about you? Do you miss me?" I asked.
"Yes, I miss you so much. I want to die in your arms..."
The next day, I was still sleeping soundly when the sun was high in the sky. If it weren't for the alarm clock, I wouldn't have gotten up at all.
I turned to look beside me. Gu Yuan was no longer in bed. I took out my phone and checked the calendar. Sure enough, it was the fifteenth day of the lunar month again. He wouldn't be home today or tomorrow.
Only then did I remember that I had something very important to do.
