Ye Jiani pushed her away decisively and said to Gu Xiaoai, who was standing aside in embarrassment, "Sister, sit down for a while and I'll make you some hot drinks."
"Thanks."
Gu Xiaoai nodded.
As soon as Ye Jiani left, Gu Xiaoai and Li Juesi were speechless as they were getting along like this. The smile on Li Juesi's handsome mixed-race face gradually faded away, and he sat down at the long table aside.
Gu Xiaoai found that Li Juesi had a sense of calmness after going through all kinds of things, as if the dust had settled.
Gu Xiaoai walked forward and opened the large curtains, letting the sunlight shine into the elegantly decorated and simple living room.
"How is your injury?"
Gu Xiaoai walked to the table opposite him and sat down, asking softly.
"It's a small matter, but I won't be stupid enough to shoot myself." Li Juesi said uninhibitedly, as if he didn't care.
"..."
Gu Xiaoai fell silent, suddenly not knowing what to say.
Li Juesi was much better than she thought. She originally thought that a penniless young master like him would feel uncomfortable in a small apartment like this in a few days...
But in fact, Li Juesi acted very comfortable, almost like a half-owner, and there was nothing wrong with this small apartment.
"You don't want to persuade me to go back, do you?" Li Juesi suddenly asked casually.
Gu Xiaoai shook his head. Who could persuade him, this young master? He did everything for his dead girlfriend, and even pushed himself to the point of being penniless in order to commemorate an unfulfilled love.
Now he has fallen from the sky to the earth. The environment has been completely different. He has no money, no job, no bodyguards...
But he still did it without hesitation, without any flinching.
Now it seems that he himself has no intention of returning to the Li family.
"Big brother asked me to take care of you." Gu Xiaoai told the truth.
"Is he afraid that I won't be able to survive outside?" Li Juesi laughed, a little sarcastically, "He is the one who opposes the most, and now he pretends to be an elder brother to look after me?!"
He has never been close to Li Juexi.
…
"Second brother, I don't want to argue with you." Gu Xiaoai paused and continued in a calm voice, "Maybe you are a fan of the authorities. When you escape from your own world, you will find that you did too much this time.
Extreme."
"..."
Li Juesi lowered his face, pursed his lips tightly, and said nothing, neither refuting nor agreeing.
"Li Juefeng's previous dispute with you, and my elder brother's opposition in front of everyone, were only for you." Gu Xiaoai said calmly.
In Li Juesi's eyes, these objections had become fatal injuries to him.
It stirred up the pain of being torn apart many years ago and being separated forever.
The pain blinded Li Juesi's eyes and he could not see anything.
He used to be... so considerate.
"Can we not talk about this?" Li Juesi interrupted her.
Ye Jiani, who was listening to their talk reaching an impasse at the door of the kitchen, came out with a hot drink at the right time, breaking the silence without showing any trace, "Sister, if you really want to take care of him, find him a job! I don't want to raise an idle person!"
"I'm an idler?!" Li Juesi smiled instead of being angry, holding his face with one hand, and then said very seriously, "Nizi, I can warm the bed, I'm not an idler."
