Chapter 10: Injustice

Gu Rong, without any doubt, smiled as he introduced Ji Liao.

Gu Weirui gently hummed, her eyes flickering, and she pinched a piece of pastry, offering it to Ji Liao, saying: "Here, please have some."

Ji Liao looked at Gu Weirui and said with a smile, "Of course I know."

When Ji Liao saw Gu Rong asking, he said: "Uncle, do you know about bats"

Gu Rong remained silent; Ji Liao's few brief words inevitably contained the bitterness of countless seasons. I truly should not have inquired about this matter

Gu Rong nodded and said: "Of course I know."

She truly likes Ji Liao, but she is not the Ji Liao that she likes

Ji Liao smiled gently and said, "Uncle is a wise man; if you cannot see, I believe you can do the same as I do."

Ji Liao smiled and said: "Although bats have eyes, they mostly operate at night. Their vision may not be superior to ours, yet they can easily avoid various obstacles while flying in the dark. Uncle, do you know why?"

In his two lifetimes as a human, this was indeed the first time he engaged in such an activity. Fortunately, he had always possessed a spirit of learning and had accumulated a wealth of theoretical knowledge, thus he was not unfamiliar with it. Moreover, the girl ignited his competitive spirit; unwilling to remain passive, he quickly took the initiative and gained the upper hand

Gu Rong could only sigh quietly in the end

After Ji Liao had dinner with the Gu family father and daughter, he followed the servant to the guest room

The young lady immediately said: "My name is Gu Weirui, how is Young Master Ji?"

Indeed, since he cannot see, how did the young nephew manage to take the pastry from the young lady's hand? By the way, you seemed to have a thorough understanding of the two bonsai trees when you were trimming them today. Moreover, when we just entered the living room, you immediately found the chair. Gu Rong's voice startled Ji Liao. It turns out that when all these matters are connected, Ji Liao indeed possesses an incredible number of inexplicable abilities; almost every single one of them seems beyond what a blind person could accomplish, yet Ji Liao executed them beautifully, leaving no trace of error. If the matter of the bonsai can be attributed to Ji Liao's extreme sensitivity to plants, then the other two incidents are truly difficult to explain with this reason.

Gu Rongdao: "Indeed, my dear nephew will stay here tonight, as for your attendant, I have already made arrangements for him."

Ji Liao softly said: "It seems that I have not done anything to wrong you."

As the hour of the rat passed, the two gradually fell silent

Ji Liao said at the right moment: "I was indeed reckless, I owe Miss Gu an apology"

"You have made me wait, and now I have to go back to my own room to sleep on such a cold night." The young girl felt very wronged. Her meaning was clear; Ji Liao should sneak into her boudoir in the middle of the night and climb onto her bed

Gu Rong pinched his daughter's delicate nose and deliberately adopted a stern expression, saying: "You were not shy about telling others your given name, but now you seem to feel embarrassed."

Ji Liao bitterly smiled and said: "You surely do not want me to go blind, only to have your father break my legs tomorrow morning."

A warm breeze, fragrant like orchids, brushed past my ear, and I heard the girl softly say: "If you do not come to find me, then I shall come to find you."

The young girl bit lightly on Ji Liao's shoulder, not too hard, but just enough to make Ji Liao let out a soft exclamation. Then the young woman huffed, "I knew you wouldn't dare let me sleep with you for a night."

He also felt that Ji Liao had no need to deceive him, and thus said: "I am not doubting that you are lying, I am just very curious"

Gu Rong laughed heartily and said: "Ah Liao, you need not be so polite. I consider you as my own nephew, and this is not just mere words. The name of the elegant and flourishing chamber is meant to convey this to you."

What relies on is the ear

Ji Liao pretended not to recognize her, of course, he would not expose her, but merely smiled and said: "In the spring, the orchids flourish, and in the autumn, the osmanthus shines bright. 'Flourish' means that the grass and trees are abundant, which sounds very beautiful, and I believe Miss Gu must be extremely beautiful as well"

The season is silent and desolate

She had long known that Ji Liao, although invisible, was far stronger than an ordinary person, and that he had deliberately intended to elicit this statement.

Ji Liao did not respond, as he actually did not care much. The Ji Liao who mastered this skill is not the current him. Moreover, as a grass, he had no eyes and did not feel anything.

Gu Weirui noticed the conversation had turned serious, so she smiled and said, "Father, it is getting late; let Young Master Ji stay at our home tonight."

The familiar fragrance wafted through the air, causing a warm current to rise involuntarily in my abdomen

A pair of strong and sturdy long legs wrapped around Ji Liao's waist, the young girl was far more enthusiastic and proactive than he had imagined, completely unlike a well-mannered young lady raised in seclusion.

Gu Weirui, with her bright eyes, gazed at the desolate season and said, "My father said you cannot see, so how do you know I am beautiful"

"Ji Liao, you have changed; you have become a complete jerk." The girl still carried the lingering charm of youth, as if she were accompanied by a faint and delicate sound of weeping, evoking a sense of pity.

In a moment, my thoughts surged and then suddenly came to a standstill

He felt somewhat reluctant and wanted to find an opportunity to reveal the truth

He sighed and said, "The strength of my esteemed nephew is something I have never witnessed before. To be honest, if I were in your position, I do not know if I could do the same as you."

Gu Rongdao: "I am not clear about this point."

Without waiting for Ji Liao to speak, lips as delicate as flower petals pressed against Ji Liao. This completely ignited the flames within Ji Liao, leaving no room to maintain rationality

Ji Liao secretly smiled bitterly; he had not yet made up his mind on how to treat the young girl, yet unexpectedly, she had already slept with him. Now that the situation was set in stone, if he still thought about how to distance himself from her, without her saying anything, Ji Liao would undoubtedly be the world's number one scoundrel, no, the number one big scoundrel.

Ji Liao reached out to take it, but Gu Weirui deliberately twisted her wrist, wanting to evade. Little did she know, Ji Liao's fingers were quicker, gently snatching the pastry from Gu Weirui's hand

Gu Rong smiled and said, "One should treat this place as if it were their own home." He increasingly admired the young man, thinking that if Ji Liao were not blind, he would indeed make a good match for Wei Rui, what a pity.

As the rain dissipates and the clouds gather, the moonlight outside spills through the window, resembling frost flowers, rendering the room desolate and cold.

His words were double-edged, understood only by each other. Gu Weirui had no idea that Ji Liao was teasing her in front of Gu Rong. She felt both shy and sweet, shaking Gu Rong's arm and saying: "Father, look at him washing me over."

But it was clearly him who was being slept on, and Ji Liao suddenly felt a bit wronged, the cold wind in the middle of the night is truly chilling

Gu Rongdao: "Is it really so miraculous?"

He gently caressed the smooth back of the young girl, his hand descending to touch her delicate and fair waist, causing a slight ripple in his heart. The once restless lady became as docile and quiet as a cat, seemingly relishing the tender affection of Ji Liao.

Then he said to Ji Liao: "This is my daughter."

As soon as Ji Liaoxin's thoughts shifted, she understood that Gu Weirui was intentionally giving her a chance to demonstrate herself, allowing Gu Rong to know that her actions would not be hindered by her blindness

Ji Liao then decided to go to sleep, just as the drowsiness washed over him like a tide, he suddenly woke up. After that, he found a smooth body had appeared beside him in the blanket, and one of his hands unconsciously covered the familiar roundness.

Ji Liao smiled and said, "Then I shall not be polite."

He tore off his clothes, quickly put on his garments, and effortlessly embraced the enchanting figure of the young woman in his arms. With a flick of his toes, the clothes that had fallen to the floor covered her body. In the blink of an eye, Ji Liao slipped out of the room like the wind. Even if he was oblivious to romantic nuances, he understood that if he let the young woman return to her room alone tonight, there would be no good outcome.

Ji Liao, who is not even angry with the flower shop owner who almost deceived him, and did not drive a hard bargain, is truly a man of good character. If Wei Rui were to marry him, she would certainly not have to endure any grievances

After completing his washing and grooming, Ji Liao sat cross-legged on the bed and began to practice his internal skills. By the time he finished, it was nearly midnight. At this moment, he looked around and saw the bright moon in the sky, while the sounds of insects and the gentle breeze outside were just right to lull one to sleep

Gu Weirui feigned surprise and said: "Father, look at him; how does he seem invisible?"
