Chapter 15 Sunbathing in a hot summer day

　　At this time, it was nearly noon. The sun was at its highest.

　　Although there were plants and trees in the Gu residence, but there were only three plum trees with spa.r.s.e branched in this Plum Flower Pavilion. It was still not the flowering season. They couldn't be used to cover from the sun. At this time, the hot sun shone. The ground was like a hot layer of liquid gold. It also made people unable to keep their eyes open.

　　In such a hot weather, others couldn't wait to find a place to hide and to cool down. Gu Xiran had done something that made a group of people stunned…

　　He wanted to bask in the sun!

　　Standing under roof, looking at Qiaoyun and Huiyun busily moving things out of the room, Gu Xihe quietly moved to Shu Huan. With a very low voice, he asked mysteriously, "Is it that aside from having problems with the body, second big brother also have a problem with his mind…?"

　　Shu Huan swept her gaze over him. She very much wanted to refute him, but unfortunately, she also felt that there was a problem with Gu Xiran's mind. Otherwise, sunbathing for an hour with his frail body, wouldn't he get a heatstroke and faint? However, if it wasn't because today was a very hot day, she wouldn't object him to bask more in the sun. It's good to the body.

　　Concubine Yun was very worried and advised, "Second young master, I've only heard about people wanting to cool down. When was there someone who would sunbath on purpose? Only those villagers who had to work in the field had no way but to bask in the sun. You…"

　　She hadn't finished speaking yet, when she was interrupted by Gu Xiran's hand gesture.

　　Concubine Yun sighed and didn't continue to speak. In the past few days, she found out that this master wasn't so well to talk to like how he used to be. If he decided on something, even if she talked till her saliva had dried up, he wouldn't change his mind. She could only glance once at Shu Huan in hope that this second young mistress could persuade him.

　　Shu Huan had her head lowered because she was talking with Gu Xihe. She didn't see the glance, so naturally she didn't persuade.

　　Concubine Yun sighed again. She looked infatuated at Gu Xiran without speaking. She really didn't know why he would protect this new young mistress like this. Was it because he likes her? Except for her straightforward personality, a woman who didn't care about her own husband and whose appearance was childlike, what else could she have to let people like her?

　　After a while, Gu Xiran leisurely laid on the bamboo lounge chair. There was a small sandalwood table on the side. On the table was a teapot the size of a big palm. There was also a small plate of fresh watermelon cut into pieces. On the watermelon was a delicate silver toothpick.

　　What made Shu Huan speechless was that Qiaoyun stood behind the lounge chair. She held a paper umbrella in her hand and blocked the too hot sun above his head. And also, Huiyun who held a fan and used extremely gentle and slow speed to fan him.
