Chapter 738: Tacit Understanding
Editor: Henyee Translations

The night passed uneventfully. When Gu Yundong woke up, he saw Shao Qingyuan sleeping a meter away from him.

His entire body was well-behaved. His eyes were closed and his breathing was calm.

It was not the first time Gu Yundong had seen him sleeping, but now that he was lying not far from her, she had a very different feeling.

The first thing she saw when she woke up was him. She could be in a good mood for the entire day.

Gu Yundong could not help but smile as she slowly sat up.

However, no matter how gently she moved, Shao Qingyuan still opened his eyes instantly.

There was a moment of confusion in his eyes, but he quickly regained his senses.

“You’re awake?” He had just woken up and his voice was a little hoarse.

However, Shao Qingyuan looked at her with a burning gaze. He subconsciously reached out and pulled her into his arms.

He had wanted to do so last night, but he was afraid that he could not control his impulses so late at night.

Now…

Shao Qingyuan suddenly coughed lightly and immediately let go of her. “Wait here for a while. I’ll get water for you to wash up.”

With that, he turned around and left the tent, looking a little disheveled.

Gu Yundong was stunned for a moment before she suddenly laughed out loud. Did he not know that it was easy to be impulsive in the morning?

She stretched her back and packed her things.

After tidying up, the few of them set off again.

However, although they said that they were going into the mountains to hunt, in fact, everyone was distracted.

Shao Qingyuan didn’t care much about the prey. Before he came out, he had brought a small basket that was hanging on his waist. Along the way, he had been looking for precious and rare herbs.

Dai Wenhuo said that he was here to kill big guys, so he pretended not to see any roe deer, wild boar, deer, or sheep on the way.

At most, Dai Zhong and Dai Yi would hunt wild chickens and hares to fill their stomachs.

But Gu Yundong still noticed that Dai Wenhuo seemed to be looking for something.

What was he looking for?

Gu Yundong did not ask and pretended not to know.

On the third day, the group stood at a fork in the road. When Shao Qingyuan asked which way they were going, Dai Wenhuo asked him, “Have you explored both roads?”

Shao Qingyuan shook his head. “I’ve been to the left, but I’ve never explored the right.”

Dai Wenhuo said, “Then take the right.” He smiled. “There might be something good.”

Shao Qingyuan had no objections. He had been to the left side before, and there were not many medicinal herbs. This time, he could check the right. Perhaps he could find Bai Muzi?

The group walked to the right for another day.

Perhaps because it had been a long time, Dai Wenhuo became a little anxious.

However, Gu Yundong felt that he might have eaten too much meat and was getting fired up.

Forget it. For the sake of his mother, Gu Yundong still gave him a portion of porridge when she cooked again. Otherwise, what if he went back another day to complain? She would be so embarrassed about Madam Dai.

However, at night, she told Shao Qingyuan about Dai Wenhuo.

“He must have something to do in the mountains and asked you to lead the way.”

“Yes, I know.” Shao Qingyuan nodded. “But since he didn’t say, there’s no need for us to ask. We’re just leading the way. Everyone has a tacit understanding.”

He had already seen it. Someone who really wanted to go hunting in the mountains should not have such a reaction.

After a pause, Shao Qingyuan continued, “Do you still remember that Qin Wenzheng was looking for me?”

Gu Yundong was stunned. Why was it related to Qin Wenzheng again?

She frowned and thought for a moment. A moment later, she suddenly remembered. “You mean the last time he asked you to talk alone?”
