Chapter 118 Half-cooked rice

　　The night of the autumn was cool and it was good to sleep in.

　　At this time, not a sound could be heard. No one expected that suddenly a scream emerged. Then, a voice that was getting closer from afar could be heard…

　　"Fire! Fire!"

　　Shu Huan subconsciously frowned and bit her lips.

　　Gu Xiran stopped at what he was about to do.

　　The two exchanged a glance. Their eyes showed downheartedness and annoyance.

　　It shouldn't be like this!

　　The uncooked rice almost became cooked rice. How could this fire (desire) be withdrawn at this critical moment? Not to mention that he couldn't hold it anymore.

• Uncooked rice become cooked rice refers to when one had intercourse with another.

　　Gu Xiran decided to pretend to be deaf and mute and not to pay attention to it. He wanted to finish the thing that he didn't get to do easily and which he loved to do.

　　However, in the next the moment, the door was knocked. Meijing's voice sounded a bit fl.u.s.tered, "Second young master and mistress, wake up. There is fire!"

　　Gu Xiran almost got internal injuries for restraining. He didn't even think before he got furious, "Go away. Don't bother me!"

　　His voice was hoa.r.s.e. It sounded like he’s just woken up from a deep sleep. Meijing thought that he got angry because she disturbed his sleep. However, she couldn't bother with that now and continued to knock on the door, "I apologize second young master. I had inquired. It's Heavily Scented Building that had caught fire. Miss Zhang got scared and is crying now and shouting to prepare a carriage because she is going home immediately. However, in the middle of the night…"

　　It was naturally a happy thing that Zhang Hanfang wanted to leave. However, Meijing reported on an untimely time. It was simply destroying the mood and atmosphere. Gu Xiran said angrily, "Very good. Let her quickly get lost!"

　　On the outside, Meijing was very startled. She didn't know why Gu Xiran got so angry. His tone sounded like he wanted to murder someone. She thought for a moment. When she looked down through the seam of the door and saw the light that came out, she suddenly came to a realization. She suddenly felt her face got red and had so much regret that she wanted to slap her own mouth. She said in panic, "I…I got it…I will go pa.s.s the message now…"

　　As she said that, she turned and ran out of the yard in such a hurry that she lost a shoe. Just as she leaned against the door frame to pick up the shoe, she heard the door behind her being opened. She turned and saw that Gu Xiran came out while draping in clothes. He closed the door and came out with a face as calm as water.

　　Even a fool knew that if Gu Xiran reveal such an expression, he was truly angry. Meijing didn't know what to say. She hurriedly put on her shoe, bowed her head and stood there in panic.

　　She truly hated herself for destroying Shu Huan's good deed and was almost in tears.

　　At this moment, Gu Xiran was too heartbroken for tears. He truly didn't want to come out, but when a mood that brewed to a climax was disturbed, the interest immediately came to an end. He and Shu Huan also wanted to continue, but the sound of the gong was one higher than the other. It was extraordinary ear-piercing in the quiet night, making his full-fledged desire to immediately turn into a desire of wanting to murder someone. He immediately grabbed some clothes and came out.
