Immediately afterwards, Gu Xiaoai kept hearing the sound of cannons. It rained heavily, but it only lasted for a short time. It always rained intermittently...it stopped for a quarter of an hour, and then stopped for half an hour.
One moment, then the next...
Hot and cold.
Gu Xiaoai gradually couldn't take it anymore. Her stomach was empty, her upper and lower eyelids were almost stuck together, and her mind was blank and confused...
Gu Xiaoai's body couldn't help but sway, and she could hardly hold her knees anymore. She lowered her head slowly, and the rain started to hit her hair...
"Li Laorang lets Miss Gu go."
A voice suddenly reached her ears, as if she had been pardoned, and Gu Xiaoai breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Xiaoai forced herself to open her eyes, the long stick on her calf was removed, and several bodyguards packed up their things and left.
The sun lamp was taken away, and Gu Xiaoai had been exposed to the strong light for so long. Suddenly, her eyes fell into darkness and she could only hear the heavy rain...
She thought she would have to kneel down for three days and three nights like the cliche plot in TV dramas.
Gu Xiaoai slumped on the ground and bent her legs with difficulty. When she touched the crook of her leg, there was already a deep dent...
This... must be already late at night, right?
Okay, go back to bed and prepare delicious food for Len tomorrow.
Gu Xiaoai rubbed her legs, stood up from the ground reluctantly, and walked under the eaves with her hands on her legs. It took a long time for her vision to become clearer.
Gu Xiaoai looked at the heavy rain outside and couldn't help but take two steps and stretched out her hand to catch the rain.
Is it Li Juexi's artificial rainfall? Or... the name she hoped for?
He... probably wouldn't help her.
He now sees only hatred in her eyes...why would he help her...
Gu Xiaoai's head suddenly felt dizzy. She fell down hard and fell heavily to the ground. The heavy rain washed away her body...
How come...I'm so tired all of a sudden...
Gu Xiaoai's head was so heavy that it felt like all the strength in her body had been drained out in an instant. Gu Xiaoai tried to stand up from the ground, but she couldn't stand up at all.
She cannot fall...
She promised Len that she would make him some delicious food, and when he came over to eat, she couldn't break her promise...
She can't fall, she can't fall so easily, she has to fight with Mr. Li to the end, and she has to be responsible for Len's future.
…
Gu Xiaoai felt dizzy. She gritted her teeth and stood up from the heavy rain with her hands on the ground.
Before he could stand still for two seconds, Gu Xiaoai fell heavily to the ground again.
"Bang--"
There were countless splashes.
Her head was completely confused, and she opened her eyes slightly, and she saw the stars of the street lamps shining in the rain, like the most brilliant fireworks blooming in the sky.
Gu Xiaoai remembered that when she was in China, she and Li Juefeng set off fireworks on the balcony of the villa. She remembered something so far away...but so clearly.
It was so clear that she still remembered Li Juefeng's expression at that time...
Gu Xiaoai slowly closed her eyes.
So tired...
"Why don't you carry Miss Gu on your back?"
In a daze, Gu Xiaoai heard Li Juexi's voice. In this Li family, the first person to care about her was Li Juexi...
She still can't tell the difference between good and bad person.
Gu Xiaoai opened her eyes forcefully and saw Li Juexi standing in front of her, with a blue-eyed man holding an umbrella for him.
Someone grabbed Gu Xiaoai's hand and put it on one shoulder. Someone held an umbrella to protect her from the rain. Li Juexi stood beside her with a slight frown and looked at her.
