Watching them with cold eyes as they struggled in danger, with ulterior motives, they seemed to come to rescue them at the last moment.
Finally understanding what he meant, Tong Yan's heart was already burning with anger, and his eyes became sharp, filled with scrutiny and deep suspicion of Gu Yuqi.
The intense emotions made her feel that when she opened her mouth now, the sound she would make would be extremely sharp and harsh, like a madman who was out of control.
Realizing that something was wrong with his situation, Tong Yan immediately began to take deep breaths, his chest heaving slowly and heavily, and he tried his best to adjust for a few breaths before barely suppressing the emotions that were about to explode.
She stared at the relief on the door panel for a long time, her eyes cold and angry, she breathed out heavily, turned her face to look at Gu Yuqi, and gradually approached.
Her eyes carefully scanned his expressionless face, and finally met his deep pool-like eyes. The pupils were very dark, like a thick mass of ink that could not be dissolved. Everything was hidden under the ink, and nothing could be seen.
It makes people unable to see clearly.
Looking at him, it seemed as if he was just asking a simple question. His tone did not contain any anger, but it was a kind of calmness after suppressing the bad side to the extreme.
"Watching us struggling there, isn't it nice?"
She saw the dark pupils tremble suddenly, and Gu Yuqi's breath was obviously suffocated.
Tong Yan, who seemed lifeless at this moment, was far more flustered than when he had a big fight with him.
In a daze, Gu Yuqi seemed to see Tong Yan slowly closing the door he had just opened, and even reaching out to push himself.
"I..." He uttered one word quickly, and his voice immediately stopped. How could he explain that he didn't mean it? But no, he did it on purpose.
Before deciding to sit back and watch, he had already imagined many possibilities.
For example, He Zhan would be injured one after another, or he would die unexpectedly during the siege, including the great possibility that Tong Yan would be injured as a result, and her anger after knowing the truth of the matter. He had predicted them all one by one.
But the sum of all these possibilities still couldn't resist the increasingly fierce desire to monopolize a person rising in his heart, especially when that person was already close at hand, and he only needed to get rid of an annoying little person first...
Such an opportunity suddenly appeared, which was so tempting to him that he succumbed to it without much hesitation.
He had no confidence to excuse himself, so he lowered his proud head again under Tong Yan's cold and angry gaze.
After the trip to the Prisoner of the Dragon Tower and the subsequent conversation, Gu Yuqi understood that his amplified possessiveness and extreme nature were exactly what Tong Yan feared and resented the most.
He has grown a lot in the past ten years and learned how to control himself better and approach in a gentler way when meeting each other.
Everything went as smoothly as expected. Why did He Zhan bring everything back to its original state?
Gu Yuqi lowered his stance because he vaguely understood that there was nothing more important than holding Tong Yan steady at the moment.
Once she misses the opportunity to comfort her now, she will probably shut herself out forever.
Tong Yan raised the hands they were holding and said coldly: "Let go!"
She looked at him motionless, as if he would use force to break away if he didn't let go.
Not letting go would undoubtedly anger her, so Gu Yuqi didn't dare not let go.
At the last moment when he completely let go of her, Gu Yuqi whispered, "Don't leave."
At least listen to what he has to say instead of just sentencing him to death without any regard.
Feeling that the restraint on his hand was weakening, Tong Yan quickly withdrew his hand in the next second. The look of disgust and avoidance deeply hurt Gu Yuqi's eyes.
Tong Yan lowered his head and rubbed the hand he had just withdrawn, his almost condescending words of 'don't leave' flashed through his mind.
Looking back at the old memories, there was a time when he looked at others coolly and noblely, opened his lips and uttered the word "get out" indifferently.
He raised his eyes again and looked at Gu Yuqi. Now, he had obvious vulnerability and hurt in his face.
At some point, he restrained all his sharpness in front of himself.
Tong Yan looked away at him with complicated thoughts. When she spoke again, her tone suddenly lost the sharpness in her tone.
Just like a scholar thinking about and studying academic issues, speak to him in an extremely serious, serious and serious tone.
"I don't understand a little, I should say I don't understand very much. What do you like about me? It's not love at first sight. It's possible to fall in love over time, but there aren't many things that happen between us that make you particularly like me. And in my case
Before I felt that you were interested in me, we didn't have much communication, so what do you like about me?"
She didn't have any personal feelings when she said this, and her attitude was as frank as if she was talking about someone else. What was revealed between the lines was pure and deep confusion.
Gu Yuqi couldn't help but be stunned by Tong Yan's unexpected question. Sometimes her straightforward speech was really overwhelming.
After a brief moment of astonishment, Gu Yuqi did not answer her immediately, but when she looked at her eagerly for an answer, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the blue sky and green land.
After a moment, he turned to look at her and asked a question, "Which came first, the sky or the earth? Why is the sky the sky, and why is the earth the earth?"
Tong Yan was confused when he asked the incomprehensible question. Why did he jump to the philosophical question of heaven and earth? What is the logical relationship between her question and his question?
"This...how do I know? I can't answer it at all." Tong Yan felt that Gu Yuqi was deliberately making things difficult for him, and was also suspected of deliberately changing the topic, so he asked again: "You haven't answered my question yet!"
Gu Yuqi looked at her quietly and said, "I've already answered."
The questions she asked were the same as the questions she asked, which were sudden and unreasonable in nature.
Tong Yan thought for a while before he understood what he meant. He meant that his question could not be answered.
To be honest, she was very dissatisfied with the answer, but there was nothing she could do about it. If emotional matters could be explained clearly, there wouldn't be so many crazy men and resentful women in the world.
She no longer dwelled on this topic. Since Gu Yuqi had something to say, she wanted to hear his excuses.
…
When Tong Yan walked down the stairs, he ran into Shen Zhuangheng who was about to go upstairs or was waiting here specifically.
"What are you doing standing here?" she asked casually.
"I want to talk to you."
From the corner of her eye, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of a familiar corner of clothes, which was the color of the clothes He Zhan was wearing today. She looked around and saw someone leaning on the corner, looking at this place.
Shen Zhuangheng noticed that her attention had drifted, and he glanced along his line of sight, then turned back and continued to look at her.
Tong Yan pursed her lips subconsciously. She probably guessed what Shen Zhuangheng was going to talk to her.
But she had already made up her mind on this matter and had no intention of changing it. Even if it seemed that leaving with Gu Yuqi was not the best option now.
