Jiang Xu felt that Gu Li's expression had changed, as if the glutinous rice paper on the outside of the candied hawthorn had suddenly melted, revealing the candied hawthorn clearly, and Gu Li at this moment was the candied hawthorn itself.

He looked into Gu Li's light-colored pupils and nodded naturally.

Seeing Jiang Xu's actions, Gu Li breathed a slight sigh of relief. "Then I'll say it," he raised his voice a little, "if I'm still single, could you wait for me?"

Jiang Xu answered quickly, "If I hadn't found a partner, would you still wait for me?"

Gu Li didn't expect Jiang Xu to ask that. He thought Jiang Xu would ask him why he said that, or if he was joking. But Jiang Xu asked the same question as him. "I think," he said, both relieved and relieved, "I definitely will."

Jiang Xu nodded. "Then we really will find partners together." He made a joke, but it was a direct and honest statement.

Gu Li felt as if something had suddenly exploded when he heard Jiang Xu's words, leaving him unable to think clearly and frozen in place for a long time.

Jiang Xu let the stagnation continue.

Until Gu Li suddenly lowered his head, his head resting on his knees, and his voice came out in a muffled tone, "Jiang Xu," he paused and continued, "I think all colors look pretty now," he finished speaking and looked at Jiang Xu with his face resting on his knees, "Am I pretty fickle?"

Jiang Xu looked at Gu Li and noticed that the man seemed unusually relaxed today.

Seeing Gu Li's completely unkempt appearance after waking up, coupled with her relaxed expression during their casual conversation, Jiang Xu felt as if a cat was rubbing against him with the soft fur at the tip of its tail, affectionate and gentle. "Yes, but the result of the changes is not unpleasant at all. In that case," he thought for a moment and continued, "I hope that every change you make will have a good outcome."

Gu Li pondered, "How can I guarantee a good outcome?"

Jiang Xu's tone was very calm, "Don't rush to make promises, just do what you want each time."

Gu Li, "Really?"

Jiang Xu nodded, "Why would I need to lie to you?"

Gu Li laughed, her smile wide and bright. "Now, let's watch a horror movie!"

There are still some secrets between them, some things that are still a little bit short of being finalized.

Jiang Xu smiled when he saw Gu Li's suddenly relaxed expression. This time, they talked more deeply, and some things came to light, while others could perhaps be imagined.

The future is unpredictable, but some things can be scheduled, provided both parties agree.

When the curtains are fully drawn and the indoor lights are completely turned off, some of the atmosphere is already half complete.

Gu Li manipulated the remote control, "Is there anything you'd like to watch?"

Jiang Xu: "You can decide on your suggestion."

Gu Li: "What if you don't like it?"

Jiang Xu said, "Believe me, even if I like it, I won't watch it a second time, so it's fine if you like it."

Gu Li said, "That seems to be true." He thought about it and realized that he had already watched it once and would not watch it a second time.

Jiang Xu said, "And if you don't like something, you might like it next time you watch it, or the time after that. The more you watch something, the more likely you are to like it."

Gu Li said, "Then don't fall in love so easily." He clicked on one, and the surroundings went completely dark. "It's not easy to find someone willing to watch with me."

The television light came on again, and Jiang Xu looked at Gu Li's slightly illuminated hair outline, still a bit messy, but looking fluffy. "Yeah, I don't like things that easily." Things, and even more so people.

Gu Li turned her head to look at Jiang Xu. The light illuminated Jiang Xu's profile. Although it was a cold light, Gu Li felt a strange warmth. "That's good." Gu Li didn't know why it was good, but she just felt it was good.

The sound of the television filled the air; darkness was the best amplification for horror movies, creating a terrifying atmosphere. Gu Li watched intently, even slowing down his eating of potato chips. "I feel like something bad is about to happen," he said in a low voice, as if he were whispering to someone.

"Huh?" Jiang Xu didn't quite hear him, and he thought about moving closer.

Clearly, Gu Li thought the same thing.

The next moment, their shoulders touched, the sensation of contact was exceptionally clear.

Gu Li subconsciously turned her head to look over, and Jiang Xu thought the same thing. Their breaths mingled in the darkness.

It just so happened that the television was completely dark, so they couldn't see each other clearly, but they could clearly feel each other's presence being too close.

Neither of them backed down, and Gu Li's voice remained low as he said, "I'm telling you, something bad is about to happen."

Jiang Xu caught Gu Li's voice, "Yes, something happened."

The television was suddenly illuminated by a thunderbolt, and they were able to see each other clearly at that moment.

They were so close, almost touching noses, their lips almost touching.

Jiang Xu looked at the person so close to him and stepped back a little. "This scene is really something," he said, glancing at the screen on the TV. "Exciting."

Gu Li lowered his head slightly and turned to the television as well. "Yes," he said, looking at the screen, "it seems I didn't make the wrong choice!"

Just as the thunder on the television sounded again, Jiang Xu and Gu Li exchanged a glance. Gu Li thought for a moment and then asked, "You heard it too?"

Jiang Xu: "So I didn't mishear."

They glanced at the TV together, then got up and went to the French windows. Jiang Xu pulled back the curtains, and the moment he did, the light suddenly brightened for a moment before dimming again, followed by a clap of thunder.

Gu Li exclaimed, "It's raining heavily!" Large raindrops pounded against the French windows.

Jiang Xu said with a sigh, "Yes, luckily I didn't hang the clothes out to dry."

Gu Li, “Yes, thankfully…” His voice suddenly stopped, “Oh no, my clothes!” He said as he jumped up and started to run away.

The darkness obstructed his vision, and there were many more unseen hidden weapons. With a "clang," Gu Li tripped over something.

Instinctively, she reached out and grabbed a warm body. Then the two of them slumped against the window. Gu Li felt herself pressed against a warm chest and could hear the steady beating of a heart.

Jiang Xu sighed softly, releasing his grip on Gu Li's shoulder in his panic. "Do you really want to get a proper rest with a cast on?" He sounded a little helpless and worried.

Gu Li leaned against the window to get up, but the cold window wasn't cold at all. "I didn't want to, but luckily you're here."

Jiang Xu then ruffled Gu Li's hair in the darkness, saying, "Next time, you should fall down to learn your lesson."

Gu Li tried to dodge but failed, so he ignored Jiang Xu's mischievous hands. "My legs must be bruised, it hurts so much," he said pitifully. "Jiang Xu."

Jiang Xu lifted the man's arm and led him toward the sofa in the dark. "Not only are your legs bruised, but your clothes are also completely soaked," he added. "You've lost both your wife and your army, Gu Li."

Gu Li said, "I didn't." He hadn't compensated the 'Madam' at all.

Jiang Xu: Only husband, no other person.
