   Gu Xingqiu didn't seem to hear what I was asking. He just frowned and said nothing, with a slightly sad look between his beautiful eyebrows, much like the imperial brother who was troubled by troubles in the past. It turns out that the love is so deep that even the movements between the eyebrows are so similar. There was a faint blush on his face, and his eyes were blurry, as if he was still immersed in some kind of dream and couldn't come back to his senses. I didn't want him to dream about the emperor, so I pulled his chin and forced the man to look at me. I reached out and gently stroked his cheek. He rubbed against me and closed his eyes, seeming to be uncomfortable. There was also a silent response. Because the next second his fingertips slid across the corner of my mouth and rested on the red mole on my neck. I heard Gu Xingqiu's breathing become rapid for a moment. He seemed to take a deep breath and gently rested his head on the pillow. I moved closer slowly, and the heat of my breath seemed to make his skin a little sensitive, and he hummed in discomfort.
