Chapter 40 "Ao Yu, I..." Before Xu Luxi finished speaking, Gu Ao Yu rushed forward.

"Ao Yu, I..." Before Xu Luxi could finish her words, Gu Ao Yu rushed forward, grabbed her two wrists with one hand, and pulled off the school uniform jacket on her shoulders.

Under the dim light, Xu Luxi's left hand hung limply on the bed. Blood flowed down his arm and dripped onto the bed sheet, staining it into dark red flowers.

Gu Ao Yu suddenly let go of Xu Luxi's hand. She took two steps back and opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

She was inevitably injured in a fight, so she was particularly familiar and sensitive to the smell of blood. She smelled that familiar yet strange smell the moment she stepped into Xu Luxi's room.

She had found it strange before, no matter when or how hot it was, Xu Luxi would always wear a school uniform jacket. She thought it was her personal habit, and she didn't have the time to explore it.

I didn’t expect it to be…

Gu Ao Yu looked up at her trembling arm. Scars like centipedes were winding and circling, covering almost all the skin on her arm. In the shadow originally covered by the school uniform jacket, a sharp knife lay quietly, and the dark red bloodstains on it were clearly visible.

Xu Luxi felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head. His blood instantly froze and his teeth chattered uncontrollably. He subconsciously hugged his arms tightly and rubbed them hard, but he couldn't rub off the disgusting skin.

She shuddered, raised her pale face and looked at Gu Ao Yu who was not far away. Gu Ao Yu was facing the light, and her figure was outlined by the halo, making her look taller. Xu Luxi blinked hard, but still couldn't see the expression on her face clearly.

Does she also think that she looks disgusting?

The chill rose from the soles of my feet and quickly spread throughout my body. Goose bumps appeared densely on my bare arms, and every hair stood straight up.

"Xu Luxi, don't tell me that the scars on your arms are caused by bullying." Gu Ao Yu paused and said word by word in a very calm tone: "I just have bad grades, but I'm not stupid."

"I..." Xu Luxi looked up blankly at Gu Ao Yu who had a cold face. His mind was a mess at this moment, sinking into a thick quagmire. Everything around him lost focus, became blurry and colorless.

She had no idea, and instinctively rushed forward to grab Gu Ao Yu's clothes. She raised her face and looked at Gu Ao Yu.

The amber eyes were like an invisible dark whirlpool, and the whites of the eyes were covered with dense bloodshot, like a hideous spider web ready to drag anyone who approached into the black abyss at any time.

Please don't hate me, okay.

The captured Gu Ao Yu's body swayed. She lowered her eyes and looked at Xu Luxi. Amid the interweaving of light and darkness, her face still had no expression.

Please, Gu Ao Yu.

Xu Luxi's lips trembled slightly, but he couldn't make a sound in his panic. His body sank uncontrollably, and the bend of his knees became more and more extreme, and he was about to kneel on the ground in an awkward manner.

Gu Ao Yu curled the corners of his lips coldly, clasped her shoulders tightly with both hands, and exerted force suddenly, pushing Xu Luxi directly onto the bed.

With a loud bang, Xu Luxi's back hit the mattress heavily, and she groaned. Gu Aoyu's expression did not change at all, and his arm was like a hard iron rod, crossing Xu Luxi's neck, pressing her down on the bed.

Bang bang bang bang, in an instant, Gu Ao Yu felt the slight beating in her neck.

Xu Luxi's amber eyes blinked, and a tear slowly flowed out. Gu Aoyu's accumulated anger suddenly exploded, veins popped out on his neck, and he gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Xu Luxi, are you sick?"

Gu Ao Yu's eyes were wide open, and his anger was like a surging tide, surging one after another. The black pupil in the center was crackling with sparks, like anger, like a cry. The pain was like a reef hidden in the deep sea, silent but unforgettable.

Xu Luxi looked at him and actually curved his eyes and smiled. Gu Aoyu's twitching face and red eyes were reflected in his amber eyes.

A strange light flashed on her face, and Xu Luxi said softly: "Ao Yu, I am sick. Why, do you want to be the savior and save me?"

The cold fingers climbed up Gu Ao Yu's arm stickily and gently landed on her cheek, and the thumb occasionally stroked the corner of her eyes.

"Ao Yu, your eyes tell me that you are in pain. Tell me, why?"

"Xu Luxi, don't change the subject." The cold hand seemed to have magic power, instantly extinguishing all the anger in Gu Ao Yu's heart. She pursed her lips slightly, lowered her head, and almost ran away from the eyes that wanted to see through her.

The arm that was against her neck loosened its strength unconsciously, and Xu Luxi was not in a hurry to get up. Her fingertips fell on the wound, lightly stained with the blood of her right arm. Then, she raised her fingers and carefully smeared them on the arm that Gu Ao Yu was against, stroke by stroke.

She wrote the word "Xu".

"Xu Luxi!" The slightly loosened arm pressed hard on her neck again. Xu Luxi stretched out her fingers and gently covered Gu Ao Yu's mouth, making a hushing gesture.

"Ao Yu, people are born different. Some are born noble, and they are born with what others have worked hard for most of their lives. Some are born humble, and they may never reach the starting point of others in their entire lives. I am the latter."

"I don't resent my background. On the contrary, I have put in all my efforts just to be like them one day." Xu Luxi's amber eyes were filled with undisguised ambition and desire, so scorching and dazzling that they almost hurt Gu Ao Yu.

"I am well-behaved and weak, and harmless to almost anyone. But why did they come to recruit me? Why didn't they let me go?"

"I hate them, I resent them, there was a time when I even wanted to tear them into pieces to avenge myself."

"But my life has just begun. I have studied hard for more than ten years. Why should I pay the price of my life and die with them just because of a stain on my life? That's too unprofitable."

"So, if you can't fight or be cruel, you can only endure it. I hope these years of studying will pass quickly."

"As I endured it, something went wrong with my heart. When I got emotional, I felt a tearing pain. It was unbearable for a moment, and at that moment, I wanted to kill everyone with a knife. Only the bloody pain could wake me up."

The steady and gentle voice pierced Gu Ao Yu's ears. In a trance, her soul overflowed from her body and floated into the body of the young girl.

She curled up in a dark corner, cold sweat oozing from her body, soaking her clothes. Her hand holding the knife trembled, but she cut down without hesitation. Under the flash of the knife, a piece of meat fell to the ground, and blood spurted onto her face.

Gu Ao Yu was trembling all over. At that moment, she and she were suffering the same torture.

It hurts so much. His heart suddenly ached violently without any warning. Gu Aoyu frowned and subconsciously released his hand that was on Xu Luxi's neck, pressing it blankly against his chest.

Her heart was beating vigorously, and Gu Ao Yu's eyelashes trembled slightly. She was obviously a veteran in battle, and no matter how many times she was stabbed, she would not feel obvious pain. But at that moment, she felt pain for the first time in a long time.

Why?

A tear overflowed from her eye socket, silently fell on Xu Luxi's face, and spread on her pale skin.

Gu Ao Yu wiped away the tears vigorously and continued to glare at Xu Luxi fiercely. However, for some reason, his dark eyes could not be controlled for a moment, and a few more drops of tears fell, hitting Xu Luxi's face with a few slaps.

Her savior is really soft-hearted.

Xu Luxi sighed secretly, but she couldn't bear it after all, so she hid some of the process. She reached out to wipe the tears from Gu Ao Yu's face, raised the corners of her lips and smiled gently, and said softly:

"Actually, I've been getting a lot better recently. Since I transferred to this school and met you, I haven't been bullied anymore."

"I was just being stubborn today. I didn't even use much strength just now. I just scratched the surface. Look, the blood has already dried up."

Gu Ao Yu sniffed, her cheeks flushed with tears. Her eyelids drooped slightly, her eyes were as sharp as knives, and she exuded a coldness.

Xu Luxi was stunned for a moment, and sparks flashed across her eyes like shooting stars, and then disappeared in an instant. She coaxed softly, "Okay, okay, I promise you that I won't do it again. You can take off my school uniform and check it anytime."

Gu Ao Yu puffed up his cheeks and glared at Xu Luxi fiercely, but still didn't say a word.

"If you are really worried, you can come to my room to check at any time at night. You don't need my consent. I will never resist." Seeing that Gu Ao Yu was still angry, Xu Luxi blinked and continued to add more codes.

"Ao Yu, don't be angry. With such a cold face, I..." The amber eyes were covered with a layer of mist. Xu Luxi looked at the silent Gu Ao Yu with tears about to fall. He looked very pitiful.

"Xu Luxi, stop pretending in front of me." Gu Ao Yu pushed Xu Luxi's shoulder hard, stood up, turned his back to Xu Luxi, and breathed heavily.

Xu Luxi blinked her eyes, a smile flashed across her eyes, and she sobbed softly, crying very sadly.

Gu Aoyu's clenched fist tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened again, and in the end, she couldn't help but turned back. The tall figure loomed over Xu Luxi, covering the only light source on the table.

Gu Ao Yu wiped the tears from her face with the back of his hand and promised earnestly: "Xu Luxi, from now on I will protect you. Don't let me catch you doing this again. Otherwise, I will beat you to death."

"Ao Yu, you are so nice." Xu Luxi raised a bright smile, and she rubbed her face against the corner of Gu Ao Yu's clothes affectionately.
