I became the God Brother of the Regent King after Transmigration!-Chapter 379 - 295: Thrice Blessed

She thought that Rong Heng meant to do something to her, but in the end, his palm just rested on her head, sending a continuous warmth.

Rong Heng used his inner strength to dry his own damp hair.

Gu Lan couldn’t help but sigh, ah, Brother Hang is indeed an innocent young boy.

So... what was I expecting after all!

Rong Heng lowered his head and looked at his palm, which seemed to still carry the traces of Gu Lan’s presence.

As night deepened, the two lay shoulder to shoulder on the bed.

Rong Heng stared at the dim air above him, with Gu Lan’s warm body right by his side, he could not fall asleep no matter what.

Gu Lan, however, found the faint medicinal scent on Rong Heng comforting. With her eyes closed, she responded occasionally to Rong Heng’s questions that popped up from time to time.

Like, did Gu Changting know her identity; did Rong Baoyi know her identity; did Rong Miaoyan know her identity... even did the gatekeeper of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion know her identity?

Gu Lan answered each question with great patience.

Because he was by her side, she no longer needed to worry about her identity being discovered, nor needed to be on guard against someone harming her at night.

Rong Heng kept tossing and turning, wanting to gaze at Gu Lan’s outline in the darkness, but he also knew that Gu Lan’s senses were very keen, and if he kept looking at her, she wouldn’t be able to fall asleep.

Moreover, staring at a girl at midnight, wouldn’t that make him seem like a perverted scoundrel?

But they were sleeping on the same bed... Rong Heng shook his head briskly, scolding himself for forgetting his sage books and only thinking about the scenes depicted in small novels.

He even subconsciously turned the homosexual tales he’d read into heterosexual ones.

Now he was completely awake!

Previously, they had also shared a bed. Back then, Rong Heng thought they were both men and saw him as his younger brother, so he could sleep soundly;

Later, when he fell for Gu Lan, sleeping in the same bed meant tossing and turning, but he had to keep engaging in mental preparations, trying to accept the theory of "only he fell for someone who happened to be a man", and he would unknowingly fall asleep;

But now... he already knew, the one sleeping beside him, was a girl.

A night where only Rong Heng couldn’t sleep appeared.

After a long while, Rong Heng suddenly sat up in the darkness, with gloomy eyes: "I’ll go check if the Empress Dowager is still alive, or maybe she should just be killed."

"Why are you peeking at a fifty-year-old woman in the middle of the night, pervert." Gu Lan tugged at his clothes, muddled returning the words he had once said to her, even the half-asleep Young Master, had a sharp tongue.

By the end of the sentence, Gu Lan’s voice sounded more like sleep talk, carrying a few soft warmths that tugged at the heart strings: "Go to sleep, goodnight."

"Goodnight?"

He obediently lay back on the bed, but the corners of his lips couldn’t help but raise, murmuring those two words, his gaze gradually gentle.

"Goodnight."

After a busy day, the injured Young Master fell asleep, with his breathing turning even and subtle.

Thinking that Gu Lan was still injured at this moment, Rong Heng dared not move restlessly, even his breathing slowed down half a beat, fearing to disturb her.

At this time, Gu Lan gently turned over, and asleep, she instinctively wrapped an arm around Rong Heng and buried her head by his side.

Gu Lan trusted him a lot.

Rong Heng closed his eyes, inhaling the sweet scent of osmanthus from Gu Lan, trying to clear his mind, and slowly, he fell peacefully asleep.

In the last moment of falling into dreams, he curled his lips thinking, he must be the happiest person in the world.

...

The new day started with Empress Dowager Su’s departure.

At dawn, the Phoenix Carriage carried the half-asleep, half-awake, barely alive Empress Dowager Su away from Mu City.

Wu Shao and the governor of Mu City were all smiles, fearing the Empress Dowager might die in Mu City even a moment later.

Aunt Fang was the only Palace Attendant left by Empress Dowager Su’s side, and the guards were left in Mu City to return to Beijing with Gu Lan to account for the previous day’s incident.

And the ones accompanying Empress Dowager Su on her departure were a squad of Mu City guards.

Perhaps Empress Dowager Su didn’t wish to leave, but at this point, she couldn’t even speak, her vision was blurred, appearing like she could pass away at any moment.

The Young Master, showing her rebellious behavior, had no intention of bidding farewell to the Empress Dowager, and the Mu City governor and others dared not say anything, as the Young Master was still injured.

However, her biological clock woke her up at the usual time.

After resting for a night, Gu Lan was already full of energy, so she insisted on practicing a set of punches at the doorway.

Rong Heng knew Gu Lan had the habit of morning martial training, regardless of the cold or heat, barring urgent matters, the young man never halted.

The youth dressed in white, moving with exceptional vigor, yet with an elegance beyond the world, like an ethereal being, making it impossible for Rong Heng to look away.

Before, he only felt that Gu Lan had an incredible perseverance towards things he cared about, and now knowing Gu Lan was a girl, seeing her earnest look during practice, his heart ached in an indescribable way.

Originally, as the son of the Dingyuan Marquis, he had to face dangers unimaginable to ordinary people, and Gu Lan was actually a girl, who knew how much darkness she endured to hone her martial arts, talent, perseverance, and the courage to disguise as a man and stand against the world, all won Rong Heng’s utmost admiration.

Rong Heng recalled Gu Lan’s different treatments towards men and women, and her maintenance and pampering of young girls like Miaoyan, suddenly realizing, whether male or female, such a Gu Lan was like a dazzling and warm sunlight, dispelling the gloom in people’s hearts.

And he was thrice fortunate to have the favor of the light.

"What, got captivated?" After finishing her practice, the Young Master casually tossed her hairband, with a bright, bold smile.

Rong Heng blushed, but nodded sincerely: "Yes, beautiful."

How could she be so adorable.

Gu Lan initially teased casually but didn’t expect Rong Heng to admit it, her cheeks flushed: "I thought after you found out about my affair, you would feel..."

Rong Heng knew what she wanted to say, he took a clean towel, walked in front of the sweaty Gu Lan, and wiped her wet fringe gently.

"The Imperial Family would never marry a woman who wields a sword... but I just like women who wield swords," Rong Heng said, his movements gentle and meticulous.

Gu Lan looked at him, a non-toxic-tongued Rong Heng was speaking love words, simply like a mouth smeared with honey;

And knowing she was a girl, Rong Heng’s love talk effect doubled.

His dark sharp eyes slightly narrowed, gentle and profound, sincerely said:

"Whatever you do is your choice, I won’t bind your thoughts and actions, I just want to accompany you to face everything in the future. Because Gu Lan will always be the most beautiful, the most formidable young lady, not what I think in my heart, but because you are indeed so good."

Gu Lan felt the little deer in her heart... was about to jump out.

After knowing her disguise, Brother Hang was a love-tale generator, the delighted Young Master, once healed, forgot the pain:

"That’s great, now I can finally openly seek Nian Xia for sleep, this is my most sincere thought."
