Chapter 165 Those who bet sincerely lose
Li Xiaoyu's heart trembled.
A lot of things flashed through her mind, both impulsive and rational.
During the moment of her silence, Gu Fei leaned over and kissed her again, each movement becoming more gentle than the last.
Just as his two fingers landed on the rope on his back, Li Xiaoyu suddenly came to her senses. She grabbed his left hand with her backhand and squeezed his fingers tightly.
Both of them had sweaty palms.
She bit the man's thin lips in return, and moved her lips and teeth against his lips, "Gu Fei, kissing you is a small matter for me, but our intimacy should stop here."
The steady voice was hoarse and calm.
"If you really care about me, please take your hand away."
Gu Fei's heart stagnated, his hands did not move, and his eyes hidden in the darkness stared at Li Xiaoyu like a wolf.
The deep voice showed no emotion: "Xiao Yu doesn't like it?"
“I like it,” the woman replied honestly.
He then asked, "Does Xiaoyu still hate me because of the mistakes I made before?"
Seeing the look in his eyes, Li Xiaoyu paused and answered honestly, "No, on that day in the secret room, when your mask fell off, I let go of the grudge in my heart. Otherwise, I wouldn't be wearing a bellyband to hug you today."
"Then why..."
Having said that, Li Xiaoyu pursed his lips and interrupted him.
She said: "Gu Fei, you have always known that I am just an ordinary person. My life is free from your intrigues and deceptions."
When she said this, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Biting her lower lip, she took a deep breath, and then continued, "To put it bluntly, even if I like you and you like me, what's the point?"
Gu Fei stared at her intently and listened quietly.
For Li Xiaoyu, love means restraint rather than indulgence, because she knows that she does not have the capital for indulgence.
"When you return to the Imperial City, you will inevitably be hovering in the center of power. Everyone is ambitious, and as power grows, ambitions will also grow. There are too many temptations in the world. With your ambition, you will not stay for me."
"And I want my husband to be me and only me. With my status, you may think I am dreaming."
"Anyone who hears this will think that I have high aspirations."
After saying this, Li Xiaoyu sighed helplessly.
If she had been born in this era, there would be nothing she could not accept.
But she is a modern soul, and she was educated in monogamy, so she needs to change her ideas.
It would be better to let her die.
Having said that, she simply stated her position: "Change your thinking. Even if I give myself to you and you take me to see everything in the Imperial City, there are so many temptations. I may not be able to resist those temptations."
"If one day you find that I have changed, you will withdraw your kindness to me and even turn to other women."
She always considered things from many perspectives. "I have a bad temper, and I certainly won't tolerate it. I will cling to you like a headless fly until you hate me and abandon me. By then, I may not be able to find the reason until I die."
"Gu Fei, you were so good to me because you were focused on your career before. Since you were exiled here, I was the only one by your side, and you were touched by me for a short time."
People are strange. When they subconsciously protect themselves, they will become calmer and calmer.
Listening to her words without any lust, Gu Fei didn't say a word because he discovered.
At this moment, every word he said would be empty talk in her ears.
Li Xiaoyu let go of her hands and hugged him gently.
She leaned her head on his shoulder, like a friend or a lover, and whispered sincere words in his ear.
"Gu Fei, I don't have outstanding abilities, nor do I have a distinguished family background. The only thing I can bet on is your sincerity. But in this world of intrigue and deception, sincerity is the last thing that can be gambled, and the last thing that is worth it."
Her shallow breath and her low words flowed into the man's eardrum.
Straight to the heart.
She said: "Because everyone who gambles loses."
As she spoke helplessly, Gu Fei's eyelashes suddenly trembled, and his heart seemed to be grasped by an invisible hand, tightening inch by inch.
Even though he calculated everything, he never realized it.
The woman who was hugging him and speaking to him tenderly at this moment was more sober and rational than he had imagined.
The large hand with distinct joints was lowered.
At the same time, he said in a voice without any emotion: "I know."
When she realized that her feelings towards him had changed, it was actually very difficult for Li Xiaoyu to say these words.
But she also understood a saying: A short pain is worse than a long one.
Pursing her lips, she gently patted his back and forced a smile: "When you leave, forget about what happened between us and live our own lives. It will be good for both of us."
This time, Gu Fei did not answer.
Just when she was about to stand up, he raised his left hand to press down on her waist and rested his head on her shoulder.
He whispered dumbly: "Let me hold you for a while."
His voice was very low, so low that it could not be heard over any noise.
Li Xiaoyu paused.
She chose not to force her way out and let him lean on her.
The night was lonely, and the winter wind was blowing wildly outside the house, blowing in sporadically through the window and passing through the two people who were leaning on each other.
Gu Fei's body was still very cold, and the biting cold wind seemed to have penetrated into his heart.
Let the beating heart gradually become stiff.
He held her for too long and Li Xiaoyu couldn't hold on any longer, so she fell asleep on his shoulder.
Listening to the steady breathing, Gu Fei put the person on the bed. He held her in his arms and gently rested his head on top of hers.
Those deep eyes stared at the wall.
The darkness cleverly concealed all the emotions in his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking at the moment.
The only thing that could be seen was the hand he was holding tightly around the woman's waist.
He had no intention of letting go.
This night was destined to be a sleepless night for him.
The next day, Li Xiaoyu woke up and the man was no longer beside her. She put on her clothes and walked out of the room.
Gu Fei carried a bowl of rice and walked towards the main room. The little fool followed behind him. When he saw her coming out, he treated her as a friend, gentle and harmless: "Wash your face and brush your teeth, then come over to eat."
Watching him walk into the main room, Li Xiaoyu tilted his head slightly.
He recalled last night's events in his mind and compared them with his situation today.
She blinked, a silent smile forming on her lips.
It's good that he doesn't dwell on trivial matters.
About a quarter of an hour after dinner, Feng Wudu came over. He was worried about Gu Fei's injury, so he wanted to come over to check on her.
He was treating Gu Fei's injuries in the room while Li Xiaoyu was practicing portrait painting outside.
After a while, Li Wu and Li Mei appeared at the door of Gu's house together. The latter came to practice boxing.
The former is driven by curiosity.
He was really too curious about why Gu Fei appeared there.
Seeing them, Li Xiaoyu put down what he was doing. While teaching Li Mei boxing, Li Wu first ran into the room to look at Gu Fei, and then surrounded Li Xiaoyu and asked him questions non-stop.
"Old Third, how did his eyes get better?"
"That leg doesn't seem to be as lame as before. What's wrong with him?"
