Love is More than a Word, Chapter 58: Beware of visitors with gifts (4)...

Peng Xiang's face went white and his body shook like a sieve. He stared at Hao Guozi, his eyes sinister and Tao Mo's heart was shocked. Just as Tao Mo wanted to find a topic to change, Peng Xiang suddenly raised his hand and swung it down at Hao Guozi's face.

Hao Guozi was standing close to him and didn't expect him to do it, he was waiting for a slap on the face in the confusion.

But not before he regained consciousness of felt the pain and another slap was heard.

He was dumbfounded and a bit confused as he looked at Gu Xiaojia who flew over and slapped Peng Xiang hard.

Peng Xiang reacted extremely quickly and immediately crashed into Gu Xiaojia.

Gu Xiaojia, who usually has a fierce mouth but little strength in his body, was pushed to the ground by him and knocked the back of his head heavily on the threshold, causing his whole face to crumple in pain.

At this time, Hao Guozi finally regained consciousness and immediately went forward to help Gu Xiaojia.

And Tao Mo was dragging Peng Xiang backward with a death grip on his waist.


Peng Xiang was pulled while his legs kept kicking in the air, "What makes you say that! Why did you hit me like that?"

"What is it?" Gu-She came out of it with an indifferent face. He was followed by the Gateman, who had gone to tip him off.

Tao Mo subconsciously let go.

Peng Xiang rushed over again at once and it didn't matter if it was Hao Guozi or Gu Xiaojia, he  was like a chicken with his head cut off.

Gu Xiaojia and Hao Guozi were two people after all. Each one of them grabbed an arm and quickly restrained him.

Peng Xiang was finally somewhat awake at this point, tears brushing down his face in aggravation.

Gu-She looked to Gu Xiaojia.

Gu Xiaojia shouted, "He hit someone!"

Hao Guozi's heart couldn't tell and the place where he'd been slapped was hot and itchy.

Tao Mo rounded off the conversation by saying, "Hao Guozi is also not in a place to fling accusations."

Hao Guozi mouth flattened.

Tao Mo added: "But it's wrong to hit someone."

Peng Xiang stared at him hatefully, "My family Young Master originally thought that you were the only person in the world who would not look down on him. It is true that my family Young Master is from the land of fireworks(brothel) but it is not his choice! He was sold when he was five, he received a client when he was thirteen. Did he do it of his own free will? The silver for the redemption was saved by him one customer at a time. Your Excellency has been to Qunxiang House, you should know what kind of person Zhang Bao is and how hard it is to hide silver from him! And so it cost Young Master twice as much to redeem himself as well. What was he begging for? All he wanted is a safe place, someone to trust! But he was wrong, he was still wrong. Tao Mo is really just a mundane man in the end..."




Gu-She said coldly, "Have you said enough?"

Peng Xiang acted as if he had nothing to lose and stared at him with his chin up, "What? Did you dirty Young Master Gu’s ears? Naturally, the noble Young Master Gu can't listen to these dirty and lowly things!"

Gu-She said, "What does it matter to me whether you are dirty or not, whether you are lowly or not?"

Peng Xiang's exasperated expression loosened abruptly.

There was no disgust or pity in Gu-She's eyes, only an indifference that had never changed from start to finish.

Tao Mo sighed, "I'll go with you to meet your Young Master."

Peng Xiang dropped his eyes, a few unseen moments of relief.

Hao Guozi said anxiously, "Young Master!"

Tao Mo said, "You go prepare the carriage." He purposely kept his head down, not daring to look at Gu-She's face.

For some reason, he doesn't want Gu-She to meet Yiyu and Peng Xiang, so when Peng Xiang repeatedly shows up at the Gu Residence to wait for him, instead of waiting for him at the magistrate's office, he feels uncomfortable. He decided to meet Yiyu, although there is a sense of acquaintance that he cannot bear, more is that he wants to make it clear to him as soon as possible. Peng Xiang's inhumane words made him feel uncomfortable and uneasy. His fate with Yiyu had ended when he burned that scarf.

The carriage was readily available.

Hao Guozi sat on the shaft and looked back at Tao Mo.

Tao Mo looked at the top of Gu-She's shoes, "I'm leaving." He waited and Gu-She didn't respond, which made him even more uneasy about looking up at him.

Gu-She was expressionless and distant in a different way.

Tao Mo was flustered and suddenly felt like something was grabbing his chest and he couldn't breathe. He looked at him and tried to say something but in the end all that came out was, "I'm really leaving."

Gu Xiaojia touched the back of his head and snorted, "Going or not. It's really a case of bird of the same feathers flying together!"

Although Tao Mo can't read and write, he has a good memory and he can remember many idioms from what he's heard.

Peng Xiang couldn't help but smile smugly, looking at Gu Xiaojia even more disgusted as if he had swallowed a fly.

When they left, Gu Xiaojia complained, "Young Master, I think this Tao Mo is a dork with a head full of rocks."

Gu-She said, "If you don't get your head looked at by a doctor, your head will turn to stone too."

Gu Xiaojia:”......”




At the entrance to Yiyu's yard, Peng Xiang originally didn't want to let Hao Guozi in but Hao Guozi adamantly refused to leave Tao Mo halfway and eventually the three of them dawdled and dawdled and all entered Yiyu's room.

Yiyu was bedridden.

The first-rate man-prostitute of the Qunxiang House was by no means an illusory name. Even though he was lying there with a miserable white face, it had an unexplainable charm.

Tao Mo looked at him, his heart slightly sore. He had seen Yiyu in building a high-spirited group of incense, the number of high business tycoons holding gold to please him, although in the final analysis, it was just a feeling and sxx trade, but his face is extremely timely scenery. Tao Mo even felt that he was so obsessed with Yiyu at the beginning, more or less fascinated by his scenery, the kind of strength that is overwhelming the crowd. But right now, he was lying sickly, his charisma receding, leaving only the miserableness, Tao Mo felt uncomfortable and turned softly comforting him: "People die, you have to mourn them."

In fact, the words of comfort are quite scarce and pale, such as when his father passed away, Lao Tao also once so consoled him but it was useless, irrelevant, heart to heart, he spoke weakly with lack of confidence.

But Yiyu's eyes lit up slightly when he saw him, as if he was seeing the dawn in the darkness and his otherwise weak and feeble body struggled to get up at once.

Tao Mo saw that Peng Xiang was not moving, so he just had to go up and help him himself.

Yiyu grabbed his arm, his eyes full of hope and longing, "Tao Mo."

Tao Mo subconsciously tried to let go but Yiyu gripped tighter, "Tao Mo..."

"You rest well." The words that had been prepared all evaporated under such bright eyes. Without a word, Tao Mo pulled the blanket over him and leaned behind him.

"Wan Feng... he's dead," Yiyu muttered.

Tao Mo wants to say that people can't come back from the dead but then remembers that it's already been said and has to be silent.

Yiyu didn't seem to expect him to answer, trailing off, "He once said he wanted to redeem himself and then marry a wife."

Tao Mo froze.

Yiyu looked at his expression and smiled bitterly, "In your mind, we're not actually real men anymore, are we?"

"No, that's not what I meant," Tao Mo explained clumsily.

Yiyu said, "He said she doesn't have to be pretty, she doesn't have to be able to do it, just keep him on top."

Tao Mo's eyes heat up and he bowed his head in panic.

"I can't do it," Yiyu said, "I can't do anything right now even if I'm up there."

"You're not imagining things," Tao Mo.

Yiyu chuckled, "But it's okay, I did what I did but I can still get someone else to do what I did."

Looking into his smiling eyes, Tao Mo's mind was devoid of any pleasant thoughts.

Yiyu quickly steered the conversation away from the subject, talking only a little about the past.

Tao Mo listened in silence.

Yiyu was quick to say no more. Because he realized that he doesn't actually have a lot of good memories with Tao Mo.

Tao Mo sat down for a while and then excused himself to leave for the court.

Yiyu didn't hold back, just asked if he was coming tomorrow.

Tao Mo didn't dare to look into his expectant eyes and whispered, "There's been so much going on at the court lately that I'm afraid I won't be able to come for a while."

Yiyu nodded, not saying anything.

Peng Xiang sent them off and soon returned, looking anxiously at Yiyu lying on the bed, "Young Master, what should we do if they don't take the bait?"

Yiyu didn't speak for a long while.

"Young Master?" Peng Xiang took a step forward.

Yiyu said, "I'm sick."

"I know, I thought you said you didn't want a doctor anymore." Peng Xiang was a little confused as to what he meant. Obviously, he was deliberately sick from the cold water shower and now he was acting unbearably sick.

Yiyu said, "It's hard."

Peng Xiang said, "Then I'll get you a doctor."

"No need." Yiyu slowly closed his eyes and said, "I can stay sick for two more days."




Peng Xiang touched his face, thinking that he didn't care that his face was so swollen and felt so aggrieved that he didn't bother to pay attention to him.
