Chapter 214 Xiaoyu, will you drive me away?
The voice was shallow but firm.
Gu Fei did not hide anymore and let Li Xiaoyu take him home.
After giving him a set for washing his face and brushing his teeth, she went to the kitchen to cook breakfast for them. After Gu Fei washed her face and brushed her teeth, she also went into the kitchen to help.
Just cooking porridge, no need for help.
There was not much space in the kitchen, so Gu Fei stood next to the stove and watched her.
Li Xiaoyu was adding firewood to the stove. His indifferent eyes were fixed on her and she couldn't ignore them even if she wanted to.
He pursed his lips and sat a little further to the side.
She patted the bench on her butt, looked up at him, hesitated, and asked, "Do you want to sit?"
Gu Fei also noticed this encounter.
The woman did not resist as he had expected. Instead, she seemed to have realized something and was trying to accept herself.
This realization made him happy.
At the same time, he was a little worried. If she knew that he was plotting against her...
Her behavior today made him realize it.
The plan of coming here is the worst of the worst plans.
If he told her the truth, the consequences would be beyond his imagination. All he could do now was to carry out his plan while trying to win her back.
He sat down next to her and took some wood from the pile behind and threw it into the stove.
At this time, he heard Li Xiaoyu ask: "Are you vomiting blood because of internal injuries? Tell me if you feel any discomfort and I will tell the doctor."
Shoulder to shoulder, their body temperatures infect each other.
Gu Fei tilted his head to look at her, hiding his emotions, "It's an internal injury, I can treat it myself, but I'd like to trouble Xiaoyu to go to the city to get me some medicine."
His voice was very calm, like that of old friends chatting, and nothing could be heard.
Li Xiaoyu nodded: "Okay, write it to me after dinner."
Hearing her happy agreement, Gu Fei asked knowingly, "Xiao Yu, you are so generous, aren't you afraid that the person you like will be angry?"
"what?"
"The one you love?" Li Xiaoyu paused holding the fire tongs and looked at him in confusion.
Meeting her speechless gaze, Gu Fei replied calmly: "But did I say something wrong?"
The woman nodded, and while adjusting the firewood in the stove with tongs, she replied silently: "I'm not married again, and no one likes me, so how can I find someone I like?"
At this point, he paused and asked him, "What about you? How did you get yourself into this state after returning home?"
Gu Fei was not in a hurry. He answered the questions one by one.
"I didn't marry you either. I remember everything you said to me at that time."
Hearing this, Li Xiaoyu frowned. She had said a lot of things.
"Which one do you mean?"
Gu Feisi guessed that she couldn't remember, so he took the initiative to say: "You said that my love for you was only short-lived, and I can't give you what you want."
The firewood burning in the stove occasionally made crackling sounds.
The man took the fire tongs from his hand. As he leaned his upper body forward, he put the fire tongs into the stove to adjust the position of the firewood so that it would burn more vigorously.
Li Xiaoyu saw the firelight reflected on the man's face and shoulders, adding a bit of warmth to him.
It softened his facial features and made him look very gentle.
"While I have been fighting against the imperial court for more than a year, I have also been thinking about what you said. I want to prove to you with practical actions that my love for you is not a short-lived impulse."
Hearing this, Li Xiaoyu was shocked.
She stared at Gu Fei in astonishment. He had heard those words...
The latter did not look at her, and his deep voice continued: "I support my brother's son to take the position. As long as he does not sit in that position, I can solve your worries."
He originally wanted to wait until his master's poisonous insect was developed, and then take the imperial edict that men are not allowed to take concubines and women are not allowed to keep prostitutes to express his feelings to her.
Unexpectedly, the master's research has no prospect of completion.
The men around her came one after another, and he couldn't wait any longer, so he resorted to this desperate measure.
Hearing these words, an idea suddenly flashed through Li Xiaoyu's mind.
Gu Fei put down the tongs, walked to the stove and stirred the porridge in the pot, then walked to the water tank, scooped water and talked to her.
"I didn't expect that my brothers would join forces to deal with me. They held the emperor hostage to control the princes and hunted me down. I fled for several months before finally arriving here. I didn't expect to meet you by chance."
He said the word "accidentally" very lightly, as if he was deliberately covering up.
Watching him bending over to scoop water from the jar, staring at his thin back, Li Xiaoyu frowned and blinked.
I never told him that I was coming to the Northwest.
When we parted, he was very free and easy, so it shouldn't be that serious.
She was unwilling to believe that an ambitious person like Gu Fei would come to the North specifically to plot against her.
While she was thinking about it, the man was clearing the bowl.
Self-deprecating words escaped from his thin lips: "I only did half of it. The remaining half is not completed yet, and there is no chance anymore."
Place the bowl that has been rinsed with clean water on the stove.
He looked towards the stove, met the woman's inquiring eyes, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
It seemed like he was smiling, in Li Xiaoyu's eyes.
But it looks very depressed.
"I wanted to give Xiaoyu a betrothal gift that was presentable and sufficient to let you understand my feelings. I never expected that I would encounter this embarrassing situation here."
It was strange to hear him say these words after more than a year.
Li Xiaoyu didn't feel embarrassed.
It seems that no matter how many years two people have not seen each other, when they meet again, no matter what the other person says or what kind of look they use.
Neither of them will feel awkward or alienated.
It seems that only time has passed, and what remains unchanged is the feelings between her and him.
One lowers his head, the other raises his head.
Across the stove, the porridge in the pot began to boil as the water reached a certain temperature.
The firewood pile that was built in the shape of an arch in the stove collapsed, creating countless sparks in the small area.
Looking into those eyes as deep as ink.
Li Xiaoyu's heart skipped a beat. She blinked and lowered her eyes to look towards the stove.
Just happened to see sparks flying.
And it was as if something hit her heart, creating a huge splash that she could not see in the narrow, transparent space between heaven and earth.
She unconsciously clenched the tongs in her hand.
At this time, she heard Gu Fei ask herself: "Xiao Yu, I have nothing now, will you drive me away?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the only thing left in the kitchen was the boiling porridge and the burning firewood in the stove.
It was so quiet that you could even hear your breathing.
Even though we were separated by an earthen stove, we could still feel the warmth emanating from it.
Li Xiaoyu stared at the stove, her eyes fixed on the bright sparks. She knew the implication of Gu Fei's words.
He was asking for a chance.
He slowly lowered his head, stared at his toes, and his thoughts gradually drifted away.
Before she met Gu Fei, she had never been in a relationship. Not only was she busy with work, she also found it troublesome.
After all, it is impossible for there to be no misunderstandings and conflicts in love.
She is a very contradictory person.
I am not afraid of trouble, but I am also very afraid of some trouble.
In the past, she felt that her position was not equal to Gu Fei’s and was afraid that she could not bear the harm.
Now, standing in the same position with him.
Then can we take a step forward and give each other a chance?
Maybe the result won't disappoint you?
