Chapter 234: Chapter 164: Is There Any Difference When Compared?

Xie Family.

After a long day of work, Young Master Xie was relaxing in his room, soaking his feet, feeling very at ease.

While soaking, Xie Yun thought about what happened two days ago and started to feel embarrassed.

There are just some people who can keep a facade of calm no matter what happens, but deep down, when they’re alone in the middle of the night, they recall the incident and wish they could crawl into the floor in embarrassment.

Xie Yun is one of those people.

He thought to himself that he should place a ladder against that wall at the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. Otherwise, if he got stuck again, he might faint on the spot.

He even had to ask Rong Heng to carry him down, making him want to learn Qinggong from Su Zixiao.

Should he place a ladder or simply open up a wall?

Xie Jingqi was caught in a dilemma.

Just then, Young Master Gu barged in through the door, nearly kicking over his foot basin.

Xie Yun, shocked, looked at the black-clothed masked figure that suddenly appeared, about to cry out when Gu Lan removed the mask, revealing her bright and handsome face.

"Gu, Gu Lan? What are you doing here?"

Xie Yun breathed a sigh of relief and was about to grab a towel to dry his feet, but Gu Lan fixed her gaze on him, taking a step forward.

Gu Lan sighed, looking helpless but not stopping, step by step approaching Xie Yun with a daunting presence. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Young Master Xie instinctively moved backward on his bare feet, retreating until he was backed against the bed, extremely pitiful.

"What are you going to do?" He swallowed, realizing that Gu Lan was getting closer. He could almost see her clear black pupils.

The next moment,

Gu Lan’s hand grabbed Xie Yun’s neck!

Xie Yun froze, but he did not struggle or shout, his clear eyes looking at Gu Lan, very calm.

Then, Xie Yun couldn’t stay calm, because he realized that Gu Lan was actually feeling his neck.

Her other hand was placed on her own neck, gently pressing as she compared the differences.

"Feels about the same. As long as it’s not uncovered from a close distance, it seems undetectable." Gu Lan carefully felt the texture, whispering softly.

Xie Yun’s fair and handsome face flushed. He had already reacted to what Gu Lan was saying, his gaze falling on her neck, where the slightly raised Adam’s apple indicated her "male" identity.

Her Adam’s apple was fake, and now she was verifying the difference with a real one.

After confirming, Gu Lan let go and explained, "Rong Heng suspects you might be a girl, but I’m afraid if he keeps suspecting, he might even suspect that I’m a girl."

Xie Yun was shocked, questioning his existence: "Why... he suspects I’m a girl!? Why? Where do I look like a girl?"

Gu Lan: "You don’t have an Adam’s apple."

Xie Yun withdrew his neck: "...Ha-ha, you do." Where was his missing Adam’s apple? It was just not very prominent!

Gu Lan nodded seriously: "Yes, I have everything I should."

"So you mean—" Xie Yun didn’t finish his sentence when the young man suddenly took something out of his pocket and handed it to him.

"So take a look, is there anything different about this?"

Gu Lan placed her key life asset, which she had discreetly removed on the way, into Xie Yun’s hand.

Xie Yun:...

His gaze slowly fell inch by inch to what he was holding, his eyes widening, temples twitching, his palms growing hot.

"This is..." he was dumbfounded, looking at Gu Lan’s waist belt, motionless, as if petrified.

"Don’t tell me you can’t recognize what this is," Gu Lan said, seeing him not moving, glaring at him, "If Brother Xie won’t help distinguish, then I’ll have to feel a real one myself and improve it."

Seeing her gaze, Xie Yun knew if he didn’t help her, she really would personally discern.

He closed his eyes, reopened them, and after finishing his assessment, quietly returned the belt to Gu Lan, stammering, "Almost... but a bit hard."

"Then it’s no problem at all. No wonder it’s my improved version." Gu Lan breathed a sigh of relief, compromisingly putting away the belt. Hard was not an issue; real men are like that.

Ever since it was spotted by Nian Xia last time, she had upgraded the accessory with various materials, now it’s now soft yet firm, and fits well.

It’s also seamlessly wearable.

Gu Lan patted Xie Yun’s shoulder, gratefully saying, "Once a teacher, always a teacher; thank you, Teacher Xie’s help."

Xie Yun was still in the stage of questioning life, returning to his senses only after a while, feeling his palms still fiery hot.

He hesitated and asked, "Why ask me for help?"

"In this world, the only man who knows my identity, besides my dad, is you," Gu Lan said, juggling the item in her hand, "Should I hand this thing over to my dad?"

Xie Yun gave a difficult smile, "...Truly...it’s an honor."

"Oh, Young Master Xie, once Rong Heng checks your pulse tomorrow, he’ll realize his suspicions were wrong. You need to act gentle at that time, make him think some men are naturally gentle and their male characteristics aren’t obvious, so he doesn’t overthink and suspect me."

Xie Yun: "Are you sure...this will work?"

Gu Lan said, "Don’t worry, it’s just a hint."

She comfortingly kicked the foot bath bucket back to Xie Yun’s feet, curling her lips, "Sorry for the interruption, please continue, farewell."

Xie Yun put his feet into the already cold foot bath bucket, calmed himself for two seconds, then abruptly stood up.

He couldn’t calm down, Rong Heng actually suspects he’s a woman? It’s too embarrassing, he needs to learn martial arts!

Taking advantage of the dark night, Gu Lan went to Magpie Workshop again to inquire about Du Changning.

"Young Master, you came a bit late. Yesterday, after looking through those dossiers, Rong Heng immediately asked me to find Elder Du, the order has already been sent out, it can’t be taken back." Nian Xia said with a smile, knowing her intentions.

She scrutinized Gu Lan, her eyes alluring yet subtle, teasing:

"Actually, your brother is worried you might have some strange illness like your aunt, so he wants to find Elder Du to confirm early.

Didn’t expect the medication for your male disguise actually came from him, what a coincidence...indeed, usual things can’t be hidden from Wu."

Gu Lan was touched upon hearing that Rong Heng was worried about her and hurriedly sought Du Changning, feeling indescribable.

She lowered her gaze and asked, "How long might it take to find Du Changning?"

"It depends whether Elder Du is entangled in the bustling world or enjoying seclusion in the countryside, can’t say for sure, but the news can probably be sent back in a few months."

Nian Xia looked at her, giving a wicked smile, "Young Master, how do you feel now, are you scared?"

Gu Lan lifted her head and shyly smiled at Nian Xia, "Afraid of what, Brother Hang might suspect all men under the sun are women but he won’t suspect me."

With that, she gently held Nian Xia’s hand, touching her own ’precious gem,’ "See, this time it’s improved, doesn’t it feel more real?"

Nian Xia’s hand withdrew swiftly, gritting her teeth, she reached out to feel it again and couldn’t help but blush, "Gu Lan, you...rogue."

Young Master Gu felt aggrieved.

After confirming everything, Gu Lan could finally relax and go to sleep.

Du Changning’s matter couldn’t be stopped, but...she’s ready for it, even if Rong Heng learns the Marquis Mansion has medicine to disrupt pulse signs, as long as he doesn’t undress her, she’d just be an ordinary guy with kidney deficiency.

Whatever medication Gu Chengluan got from Ghost Doctor has nothing to do with her.

A good night’s sleep.

After school, Young Master Gu and Rong Heng went together to Xie Yun’s house.

As she casually sipped tea, Rong Heng took the chance to check Xie Yun’s pulse while pouring tea.

"How is it?" Gu Lan leaned towards Rong Heng, lowered her voice, asking a question she already knew the answer to.

The result was completely unexpected, causing Rong Heng’s expression to shift unpredictably, "Not sure yet."

Geng Tao brought a few plates of snacks, Young Master Gu leisurely began eating, casually fanning herself while exchanging looks with Xie Yun.

Xie Yun remained composed, as if oblivious to everything, after all, he’s a man, let Rong Heng check however he might.

After a while, Xie Yun coughed, "Excuse me, I’ll be back shortly, I need to go to the restroom."

Rong Heng immediately stood up, "I also need to go to the restroom."

Gu Lan instantly sat up straight, instinctively responding, "Should I go too—"

Rong Heng patted her head, "You can stay here and enjoy the snacks."

Gu Lan’s mouth was bulging, unable to suppress a smile, she began whispering teasingly, "Maybe I should go too, if Xie Yun is a woman, wouldn’t you compromise her chastity, do you need to marry her?"

Rong Heng definitely couldn’t let her go, his thin lips slightly curled, "Are you worried I’ll marry him?"

Gu Lan feigned seriousness as she spouted nonsense, "I’m concerned I won’t get to marry him."

Rong Heng’s gaze sharpened, suddenly becoming fierce, "...Sit here, be quiet."

"Okay." Gu Lan obediently placed her hands on her knees, quietly sealing her mouth.

As the two went to the restroom, Gu Lan began observing the Xie Family.
