Gu Jiao licked the blood from the corner of her lips, smirked wickedly, and smoothly mounted the horse!
The horse king let out a long neigh of complete submission.
The young man tamed the horse king, causing a fervor in the field. Amidst the cheers and excitement, everyone felt their blood pumping, even Teacher Wu's eyes sparkled with excitement!
Xuanyuan Family’s sons were all grown wolves, with no longer a single young wolf among them.
But Teacher Wu thought to himself that he saw a new young wolf! A young wolf destined to become the wolf king!
The cost of taming the horse king was severe.
Gu Jiao couldn't attend classes anymore. Teacher Wu asked her to return to her dormitory first, "Someone help him back."
"I'll take him." Mu Qingchen said.
Mu Qingchen led the limping Gu Jiao back to the southern courtyard.
Su Xue followed behind.
"What are you doing here?" Mu Qingchen said at the entrance of the southern courtyard, "This is the men's dormitory."
"There's no one around anyway!" Su Xue retorted.
"Did we come to the wrong place?" Gu Jiao looked around at the scenery in the courtyard.
Su Xue replied, "No, we didn't. This is the southern courtyard!"
Gu Jiao expressed doubt, "Is this for people from the lower states?" How could it be so luxurious? Are those plaques on the pavilions made of real gold?
Su Xue said, "How could it be for people from the lower states? The southern courtyard is only for people from the upper states!"
Gu Jiao felt strange, "Then how did I end up assigned here?"
"Oh, I forgot you're from the lower state." Su Xue said.
Su Xue was an arrogant and rude person, but she wasn't ungrateful. Deep down, she did look down on people from the lower states a bit. However, Xiao Liulang's performance today exceeded her expectations.
Not only did he save her, but he also tamed the horse king that even the martial arts champion couldn't tame. This young man had earned her respect through his own abilities.
She decided that from now on, she would allow him to be on equal footing with her!
She said, "Actually, there's also a person from the lower states living in my dormitory. She’s also a new student. She's quite beautiful, just a bit... less than me!"
The truth was, the other party was much prettier than her!
She had never seen such a beautiful person before!
On the first day of her arrival, she outshone the top beauty of their academy, Gu Chengcheng! [T/N: This surname Gu is written differently from Gu Jiao’s.]
By the third day, she was already on the Beauty List of the six states!
The more Su Xue thought about it, the more jealous she became, and started nitpicking, “But, she's a bit too tall. A woman being too tall makes it hard to find a husband. Also, she's a mute and has a little dark kid tagging along!”
In a dormitory of Canglan Women's Academy, one large and one small sneezed in unison!
Gu Jiao wasn't much of a talker, but Su Xue, just like Zhong Ding, was naturally talkative.
Su Xue continued speaking to Gu Jiao, “I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Su Xue. Since you saved me today, I won't hold what happened at the post station against you!”
Mu Qingchen said lightly, "I remember you hitting him first, then lost the fight and fell on your own. Who's not holding it against whom?”
Su Xue choked.
Gu Jiao looked at Mu Qingchen, then at Su Xue, "You call him fourth brother, are you two... siblings?"
Su Xue said, "Of course, we're siblings!"
Gu Jiao was puzzled, "Then why is your surname Su and his surname Mu?"
“I took my mother's surname.” Mu Qingchen said lightly.
Gu Jiao: “Oh.”
Gu Jiao remembered she had forgotten to bring her key when she reached the dormitory door.
“I have it.”
Mu Qingchen took a key out from a brocade pouch and opened the door nonchalantly.
Gu Jiao frowned at him, "Why do you have the key to my dormitory?"
Mu Qingchen said indifferently, "Because this is also my dormitory."
Gu Jiao: "...!!"
Gu Jiao had never stayed here before, and it seemed Mu Qingchen hadn't either. She thought it would be empty inside, but to her surprise, everything was neatly arranged, and it was well-equipped with fine bedding, all of superior quality.
Gu Jiao raised an eyebrow, "Both beds are arranged neatly. You’re quite considerate of your roommate, Young Master Qingchen.”
At this point, Gu Jiao couldn't fail to understand what was going on.
It must have been that night when she used the silver needle to save Su Xue, and Mu Qingchen saw it, so he gave her a series of special privileges.
Thankfully, it was just to repay a debt. She almost thought this guy had a penchant for boys and had taken a liking to her.
Gu Jiao took out a bottle of jinchuang medicine from her pouch.
"Let me help you apply the medicine!" Su Xue said.
"He's a man." Mu Qingchen reminded with a frown.
Su Xue scratched the hair at her temples and lowered her eyes, saying, "Oh."
Mu Qingchen told Su Xue, "You go out first, I will help him apply the medicine."
Gu Jiao said, "Both of you, get out! I can apply the medicine myself!"
What a joke.
She couldn’t let Su Xue see, so why should she let him see?
Mu Qingchen himself wasn't used to having outsiders around him, so he didn't suspect anything. He thought for a moment and said, "How about, I'll call your brother over."
Gu Jiao said seriously, "No need! Let him attend his classes! I can handle it myself! It's not that serious anyway!"
Su Xue, feeling embarrassed, had already left the room, and Mu Qingchen didn't intend to force Gu Jiao, so he got up and left as well.
But just as he turned around, he suddenly noticed a bloodstain on Gu Jiao's bed and exclaimed, "You said your injuries weren't serious! You're bleeding!"
Gu Jiao had quite a few abrasions on her body, and there was blood, but to say she was bleeding to that extent...
Following his gaze, Gu Jiao looked carefully.
That wasn't from an injury.
It was her menstrual blood!
Gu Jiao cleared her throat and said seriously, "Um, this, it's not from an injury."
Mu Qingchen looked at her intently, seemingly trying to discern the truth of her words.
After a moment, he realized something and his eyes flashed with understanding, "You..."
Gu Jiao held her forehead. Great, her female identity was revealed just like that.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Mu Qingchen's face, "I'll get you some medicine. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
Mu Qingchen must have moved at the speed of a galloping horse because he was back in no time.
He cleared his throat awkwardly and handed the bottle of medicine to Gu Jiao, "You, you can apply it yourself."
Menstrual pain medication?
Who would have thought, this usually annoying Mu Qingchen actually turned out to be quite a considerate guy.
"Thank——"
Before she could finish, Gu Jiao saw two prominent words on the bottle——Hemorrhoid Ointment.
Gu Jiao: "...!!"

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:
Description:
In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succumb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.
When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.
The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.
From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.
***
Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like Shi Dai.
After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"
Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"
Jiang Baiyan: ...?
—
After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"
Shi Dai replied, "Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"
Jiang Baiyan: ...?
—
Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don't abandon me, alri—”
Shi Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."
Jiang Baiyan: ...?
He hasn't finished his lines yet though…
