His Rui

Chapter 616 How Does Gu Li Know Mi Luan (13)

　　Gu Li indeed didn't talk with Mi Luan all the while the latter ate the fruits the former had brought for her.

　　He stood in a corner of the cave but every few moments, he would look towards Mi Luan who was eating silently, and then turn her head away coldly.

　　Everyone was quite surprised by his behavior because, from the way Gu Li was worrying about Mi Luan, they had expected that he would never leave Mi Luan's side after the latter would wake up.

　　However, a few who understood the reason behind Gu Lu's cold behavior like the old master only found this situation amusing. 

　　Mi Luan put down the remaining fruits after a few moments. Gu Li who was looking at him every few moments immediately noticed this.

　　A deep frown marred his forehead and soon his cold voice was heard in the silent cave.

　　"You are going to eat this all. My Youxio doesn't have the place for weak people."

　　Gu Li's words were sharp and cold and everyone couldn't help but pity Mi Luan who was at the receiving end of them.

　　Though Gu Li had always been like this with them, they had not seen him behaving in the same manner with Mi Luan. So they were afraid that Mi Luan would feel afraid of Gu Li's cold and indifferent behavior.

　　He was, after all, just a child and he looked very sensitive and introverted. But they could only see Mi Luan's eyes when they looked at him and his eyes were free of any tears or fear.

　　They were calm as he looked at the fruits that he had put down.

　　A moment later, he reluctantly picked another apple and bit on it. It could be seen that he didn't want to eat at all but he was eating because of Gu Li.

　　After he finished the apple, he didn't pick any other fruit.

　　Gu Li scowled again as the little fella had finished only one-third of the portion he had brought for him. He had a very small appetite.

　　He wanted to reprimand Mi Luan again when the old master stopped him and said calmly

　　"It's not good to force him to eat much at this time. You can try to make his appetite larger later …when he would be completely fine."

　　The old master seemed to read Gu Li's thoughts completely and easily. Gu Li was not surprised but he wisely shut his mouth. After all, he trusted his master very much and he would never go against what he would say.

　　But he still noticed the relief that flashed through the little fella's eyes when he gave up.

　　Gu Li's lips twitched and he promised to keep it in mind. He needed to take revenge on this little fella. There are many things he needed to teach him so that his life in Youxio would be easier in the future.

　　He was too shy, too weak and he had a very small appetite.

　　For now, Gu Li's mission was to change these three things.

　　.

　　.

　　.

　　The rain had stopped but Gu Li didn't leave the cave with the old master and other shadow guards. Mi Luan's body was still a little warm and the old master suggested that it would be good if he doesn't come in contact with the cold wind at such a time.

　　So Gu Li decided to stay inside the cave only.

　　However, he told the shadow guards to go and look for some food.

　　All of them were men with a huge appetite. A few fruits couldn't help them in vanishing their hunger. The shadow guards left the cave.

　　When almost a shichen later, they came back, they brought some cooked meat for Gu Li and the old master as well.

　　After having their full, everyone decided to sleep.

　　Mi Luan was already sleeping, Out of seven or eight blankets they had brought with them, two blankets covered only Mi Luan as they were afraid that he would catch a cold. 

　　No one disturbed Mi Luan and everyone slept at whatever place they got.

　　Though the wind was cold, their bodies were already immune to this much coldness. Gu Li slept near Mi Luan after preparing a comfortable place for the old master to sleep.

　　The next morning, they left early for the tents.

　　Gu Li stayed inside the cave with Mi Luan and the old master but he instructed the shadow guards to do a few things before they left.   

　　It was in the afternoon Gu Li left the cave with Mi Luan and the old master.

　　The sun was shining brightly in the sky. The wind was light.

　　Gu Li nodded his head in satisfaction on seeing that all the clothes that they had used to make tents, blankets, and many other things were laid out in the sun.

　　"Are they training on their own?"

　　The old master asked Gu Li as he walked towards a big stone to sit on it.

　　"Yes, Master."

　　Gu Li responded.

　　The old master looked at Mi Luan and patted the other stone that was comparatively smaller in size. Mi Luan understood and silently walked towards it and sat beside him.

　　Gu Li raised his eyebrows on seeing this interaction as he thought inside his heart that the little fella seemed to be close to his master suddenly.

　　But he didn't dislike it. Instead, there was a tinge of pride in his heart.

　　As if he was saying to himself proudly that his Xiao Luan was very adorable and sensible. How could he not win anyone's heart and... his master was already a very soft-hearted person.

　　The old master who knew Gu Li like the back of his hand shook his head with amusement flickering in his eyes.   

　　"You should go and check on them once."

　　The old master told Gu Li. Hesitation immediately flickered in Gu Li's eyes. Mi Luan had just woke up. He was afraid that he would get sick again.

　　The old master had an emotionless face as he looked at Gu Li.

　　When he didn't see Gu Li moving from his place for a long time, he spoke again but this time his voice was colder

　　"Gu Li"

　　Gu Li knew that he should not refuse again so he silently bowed his head and then left there.

　　However, before leaving, when he saw Mi Luan's calm face that didn't have any fear at all, his lips twitched again.

　　This little fella didn't seem to have any attachment to him at all.

　　Hmph, he should also not care much. 

　　However, he already knew that he had started to care for Mi Luan like his own.
