Gu Xiaoai's eyes rolled. He came too frequently recently. Didn't he feel it? Or was she too sensitive recently?!
"You come here once a day, are you worried that I will damage your villa?" Gu Xiaoai said in as relaxed a tone as possible.
"This villa was originally designed and built for you. No one will blame you if you turn it into a doghouse." Chu Shixiu said gently, with a tolerant smile, "You still dislike me.
Tired of it?"
"I don't dare." Gu Xiaoai said, "It's just Liang Nuannuan's side..."
"Look what I brought you to eat today." Chu Shixiu said directly as if he didn't hear her words.
Uncle He put one hand behind his back and walked out with a tray in the other hand. There were some cakes on it. Uncle He folded them into the shape of a flower. They were Ji Zhai's time-honored cakes.
"Your taste should have changed now?" Chu Shixiu asked, there was something in his words.
Changed back?!
Gu Xiaoai looked at the cakes and suddenly didn't know what to say. She just raised her hand and said, "I'm going to take care of the wound first."
Walking to the bathroom, Gu Xiaoai washed the blood on her hands and looked at herself in the mirror. She was wearing a hat, which made her face look smaller and her eyes were dull...
Is Chu Shixiu hinting at something? Or is she thinking too much?
She must be thinking too much... Chu Shixiu just cares about her, what else can he hint to her?
But...she really shouldn't live here anymore. She can't rely on Chu Shixiu every time she leaves Li Juefeng.
How could Chu Shixiu be willing to let her leave alone?
After wrapping the wound on his hand with a band-aid, Gu Xiaoai walked into the living room. Chu Shixiu was reading a newspaper, flipping through it, with a focused and serious expression. Even if he wasn't smiling, his eyebrows were gentle.
"What are you looking at?" Gu Xiaoai asked aloud.
"Just take a look." Seeing her come out, Chu Shixiu put away the newspaper and moved his position to the edge of the sofa to make room.
Gu Xiaoai seemed not to notice, sitting on a separate sofa nearby, taking the newspaper in his hand and reading through it.
She tried hard not to make her movements appear deliberate...
Chu Shixiu's eyes darkened.
Chu Shixiu read several newspapers, and without exception, the headlines were all about major cases that caused a stir at home and abroad. The trial was inexplicably suspended, and a wealthy businessman was inexplicably arrested and said to be the mastermind...
Public opinion and the media are speculating about the reason.
The photo of Li Juefeng walking out of the court gate was published in the newspaper. He had always looked cold, looked away from the camera, and pursed his thin lips...
Fingertips traced the upper lip.
Gu Xiaoai bit her lip, folded the newspaper hard, and threw it aside.
Stop looking, there's nothing interesting to see...
Gu Xiaoai said to herself.
"Cake." Chu Shixiu picked up a cake and handed it to her, with a smile on his lips.
"Thanks."
Gu Xiaoai had no reason to refuse. She picked up the cake and took a bite in her mouth. It was obviously the same cake as she remembered, but the taste was no longer the same as before...
Perhaps, her taste has really changed, and once she changes... she can never change it again.
"Is it delicious?" Chu Shixiu's eyes stayed on her face, with expectation in his eyes.
His gaze was so persistent that Gu Xiaoai could hardly look at him and could only nod, "Yeah, it's delicious."
"As long as you still like to eat." Chu Shixiu laughed, the corners of his eyes were as curved as an inverted moon, gentle as water, and he stretched out his hand to gently wipe away the crumbs from her lips.
