15 The Charm of An Immortal

These three days, Gu Hua had been staying in the treasury store in the main courtyard auditing her mother's dowry.

She had only finished doing so at 9 am in the morning. Including the three and a half trunks of jewellery, there was not an item missing; she can finally rest and breathe some fresh air.

Gu Hua got up turned around to walk over toward the door. When her right leg took a step, she felt something hard and round from under her feet. The floor was already slippery, she didn't have time to guess what was underneath her feet. The object was round so her body rolled forward.

Before she could fell hard on the floor, her hands already leaning against the wall for support. While balancing her body her left hand touched a tile on the wall and pressed firmly on it there was a click sound and next to the painting a small hole appeared which had a small box placed upon a thick book.

In the painting girl who has the charm of an immortal and was holding a newborn seeing the sun rising, there was a mysterious charm to the painting. There was also some weird letter written at the very end of the painting.

Gu Hua reached in and took the book, the book looks quite old. She blows the dust off the book and saw that the title of the book was the same as what was written at the end of the painting. It not in English nor Chinese.

Her interest piqued as she curiously decided to open the book and see what the book was about but the weirdest thing was the book only contain the blank pages.

At first, Gu Hua has an odd feeling about the painting and book but now she knows that aren't as they seem to be. Next, she took the box and was about to open it when heard the sound of footstep coming toward her.

Gu Hua kept the book and box with her and walk toward the door.

Opening the door, she saw Gu Ming standing outside pacing back and forth, his handsome face with a slightly immature air was filled with worry.

"Brother, what happened?" Gu Hua asked and tilted her head to look at the boy.

Gu Ming halted and looked solemnly at her before he signed heavily, "Sis how many do you want to skip you didn't even have dinner last and I am sure that you still haven't even eaten your breakfast."

Gu Hua felt amused in her heart. It kind of feels good when someone worries about you.

Gu Hua felt warm on seeing his actions and could not help but smile widely. "Alright.. your sister is going to have some breakfast now. So, don't worry anymore little brat.."

Gu Hua ruffled his hair. Gu Ming smiled at her as he liked his sister playing with his hair. His sister always remained silent, but now after seeing his big sis so active and playing with him, he was really happy ah! Once she left the treasury, she briskly walked back to her room with her cute little bunny by her side.

The sun was bright, birds were chirping and the flowers were blooming. Gu Hua washed up and ate breakfast with little bunny before lying down on her bed.

Thinking back on what happened inside the treasury. Gu Hua heart still has many doubts, however, Gu Hua tossed this matter to the back of her mind, and instead focused on getting some rest.

Gu Hua had been feeling tired for a day since the former's body was particularly frail. Now that things had calmed down, she could feel pain throughout her body.
