Chapter 37 I Won't Hurt Her

Gu Cunxi looked at the person next to him with a growing smile on her face. Her pretty profile was angular. She held his hand tightly, her eyes firm. It felt so good!

The two walked through the hospital to the underground garage, holding each other's hands tightly.

"Cunxi, let me drive. You have scratches on your hands, so it's not convenient for you to drive."

After saying that, Xiao Peiyin let go of her hand and walked to the driver's side. Just as she was about to open the door, she saw Gu Cunxi quickly following her and standing in front of her, smiling: "I'll drive. Don't worry, my hands are fine. This time, I want you to sit in my passenger seat!"

Xiao Peiyin was slightly startled, and when she thought of the last time Cheng Sheng sat next to Gu Cunxi, her heart started to sour.

"Pei Yin! What are you thinking about? Come sit over here, let's go home!"

Xiao Peiyin collected her thoughts and walked to the passenger seat and got in. Gu Cunxi was very satisfied at this moment. She quickly opened the door and got in, looking at Xiao Peiyin and smiling: "You don't have to do anything, just sit next to me and relax!"

After saying that, she slowly leaned over, moved closer to Xiao Peiyin, pulled the seat belt for her, and fastened it, her eyes full of tenderness.

Too close...

They looked at each other, so close that they could see themselves in each other's pupils.

Such a close distance allows one to feel the other's warm breath. In this confined and narrow space, the body temperatures of both people rise rapidly! Xiao Peiyin's throat unconsciously slides up and down, her face slightly red. Looking at the person in front of her, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, looking at her tenderly, her body inexplicably heats up.

"Cunxi! We..."

Before he finished speaking, the warm and moist touch on his lips made Xiao Peiyin's mind go blank. What entered his nose was the pleasant mint scent of Gu Cunxi, with a hint of disinfectant, which made him feel at ease.

As the music played in the car, the two of them couldn't help but cling to each other, kissing passionately. After several intimate moments, Gu Cunxi seemed to have become more and more skilled in this aspect. She pressed her lips against his, licked his tongue lightly, and cunningly penetrated him. Xiao Peiyin's rationality dissipated in an instant, and her desire was about to burst out, making her unbearable. She hummed softly...

After a long while, Gu Cunxi withdrew with satisfaction and looked at the blushing person in front of him, his smile growing: "Let's go home!"

After saying that, Gu Cunxi quickly started the car and drove out. The two of them were silent along the way. Xiao Peiyin couldn't calm down when she thought of the kiss just now. Her face flushed and then faded. She doubted whether Gu Cunxi was really as incapable as she said...

Just as she was thinking about it, a quick ring of her cell phone broke her thoughts. Gu Cunxi took out her cell phone and looked at it while driving.

The name on the caller ID was Cheng Sheng... She frowned slightly. After what happened on the day of the annual meeting, it seemed that she could no longer be as natural in front of Cheng Sheng as before. After hesitating for a moment, Gu Cunxi answered the phone.

Cheng Sheng's childish voice came from the other end: "Sister Cunxi... I heard from Sister Qingxian that you took sick leave! Is it serious? Do you have a cold again?"

Hearing the anxiety in Cheng Sheng's tone, Gu Cunxi paused, not knowing how to respond. He turned to look at Pei Yin beside him and found that she was also frowning slightly...

"It's okay, it's not serious, I just need to rest for a few more days!" Gu Cunxi replied calmly.

"Sister Cunxi! Are you alone? I can go take care of you after get off work. I'm a little worried about you being alone!" Cheng Sheng said again

"No need! Cheng Sheng, just go to work and don't worry, I'm not alone! Pei Yin will take care of me!"

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone...

For a moment, there was an awkwardness that could not be dispelled even through the phone, and it spread. Although Gu Cunxi couldn't bear Cheng Sheng's concern, if she didn't refuse as before, Cheng Sheng would misunderstand her. In Gu Cunxi's heart, Cheng Sheng was always a child, and she would never have the same feelings for her as Pei Yin. Continuing to be vague would be a harm to Pei Yin, Cheng Sheng, and herself. Thinking of this, Gu Cunxi took the initiative to break the silence, but her tone was different from before, and she said with alienation: "Cheng Sheng! I'm on my way home. Let's not talk about it now. You should work hard!"

After that, he hung up the phone without giving Cheng Sheng a chance to respond.

"Cheng Sheng... seems to like you!" Xiao Peiyin's tone was as calm as water, without any emotion, just a faint

"Cheng Sheng is still young. Maybe she just misunderstood my feelings. Even if she is serious, she will meet many people in the future. She has many choices. It doesn't have to be me! It may hurt her, but at least it is better than letting her have expectations. Many things in life cannot be perfect, right?"

Xiao Peiyin felt inexplicably complicated. Seeing Gu Cunxi's firm attitude, the jealousy she had just felt faded away. But when she thought of Cheng Sheng, she felt uncomfortable again. Cheng Sheng had done nothing wrong, but he was destined to be sad for his feelings. She didn't want Cunxi to be too direct and cold and hurt Cheng Sheng's heart. She was so kind and simple, Xiao Peiyin couldn't bear it, but... love is selfish, she can't give Gu Cunxi to anyone!

"What are you thinking about? Your brows are furrowed." Gu Cunxi's words interrupted her thoughts. Xiao Peiyin came back to her senses, shook her head, smiled and said, "Nothing!"

While waiting for the red light, Gu Cunxi turned his head and saw her with a worried look on her face, her pretty eyebrows were twisted together...

"Pei Yin!" Gu Cunxi took her hand and rubbed it gently, saying, "Don't worry! I know my limits with Cheng Sheng! I won't hurt her, let alone her self-esteem. It's just that once relationships between people become complicated, they can never go back to the way they were before..."

"Okay! I know you don't want Cheng Sheng to get hurt, but you're also very conflicted and jealous, right? Believe me, although I don't like dealing with interpersonal relationships, I'm also good at it. Don't worry, okay?"

Listening to Gu Cunxi's words, Xiao Peiyin's heart gradually settled down. She really knew herself well...

Gu Cunxi would always easily notice those concerns, worries, and jealousy. Even if she didn't say anything, she would still understand.

"Silly boy, I believe you. I know that Gu Cunxi, who is always cold, is actually kind and gentle in his heart, so you won't hurt Cheng Sheng. You have your own way!"

"In this impetuous age, any kindness towards oneself deserves respect and cherishment. I cannot respond to Cheng Sheng's feelings, but I will always be kind to him!"

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. We're home now. What do you want to eat tonight? I'll make it for you, okay?"

Gu Cunxi parked the car in front of the supermarket and turned to look at Xiao Peiyin with a smile in his eyes.

"!" Xiao Peiyin was stunned

She thought about it and found that it had been a long time since anyone had said such words to her, so long that she could not remember. In the seven years of marriage, she was responsible for three meals a day at home. Chen Feng never asked her what she wanted to eat, let alone cooked a meal for her. Her parents only knew how to ask for money. An An was still young and didn't know anything else except clamoring for food. This was the first time in seven years that someone really cared about her feelings and wanted to cook a meal for her. Such a Gu Cunxi was a blessing to her!

"Pei Yin? What are you thinking about? You're ignoring me!"

After saying that, Gu Cunxi pretended to be angry, stepped back, and stopped looking at her. Xiao Peiyin finally came to her senses. She reached out to grab Gu Cunxi's arm, but she broke free. This action made Xiao Peiyin instantly nervous and at a loss. She said anxiously, "Cunxi! I'm sorry, I was a little distracted just now. I didn't mean to ignore you. I was just too happy because it was the first time in such a long time that someone was willing to cook a meal for me!"

Originally, he just wanted to tease Xiao Peiyin, but when he heard her say that, Gu Cunxi's heart really began to sink. He wondered what kind of life she had led in the past seven years to be so happy just because of a word from him...

"I am willing to do this for you forever! I will never get tired of it." After saying this, Gu Cunxi raised his hand and rubbed Xiao Peiyin's long hair, with an inexhaustible tenderness in his eyes.

"Let's go to the supermarket and see what you want to eat. It's time to show off my cooking skills!"

Gu Cunxi got out of the car, walked to the passenger door, took Xiao Peiyin's hand, and the two walked towards the supermarket entrance. Their backs stretched infinitely, and under the setting sun, they were bathed in warm yellow.
