In a story, the supporting male role can be an evenly matched opponent, a handy tool person, a brother who shares life and death, or a lifelong enemy that's hard to dispel, the ultimate villain...
Chapter 95: Ensnaring 26
When Ling Xiao knocked on the door and came in, Gu Rong was sitting aside with his chin in his hand, as if he was distracted. Ling Sizhe was still working on his homework. He folded a pile of pocket money into the shape of a paper sword and placed it on the desk, with the sword pointing in Ling Sizhe's direction. He probably couldn't get down from the desk until he finished these homework.
But now it was already much later than the time Gu Rong usually left, and it was getting dark.
Ling Xiao hesitated for a moment, walked in and looked at Gu Rong.
He reached out and pinched Gu Rong's earlobe, wanting to ask Gu Rong if she wanted to go back now. Ling Sizhe could talk about the homework that he hadn't finished tutoring tomorrow, or he could do the rest.
Gu Rong poked Ling Xiao with a paper sword, as if he had a lot to ask, but didn't know where to start.
Ling Xiao keenly noticed Gu Rong's hesitation, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch Gu Rong's chin, lift his head, and ask in a low voice: "What's wrong? What do you want to say?"
The place where Ling Sizhe was given extra lessons was in the study. It was not as cramped as the place where Gu Rong lived, where the desk could only be placed at the foot of the bed, and Ling Xiao had to squeeze in to sit side by side. But in this study, Gu Rong and Ling Sizhe faced each other, and there was still a lot of space left in the middle of the desk. It was made of solid wood, spacious and comfortable.
However, Ling Xiao did not sit down, but stood beside Gu Rong. When he lowered his head, it seemed as if he could circle Gu Rong completely.
Ling Sizhe was watching secretly from the side. He was a little alpha, and his instinct told him vaguely that this action could effectively prevent animals from escaping.
He felt a little sorry for Teacher Gu.
In Ling Sizhe's view, Teacher Gu is just a small animal hiding in its shell, looking soft, while his cousin is a scheming big beast, a beast disguised as a kind person, with super camouflage. It seems that there is enough space and distance, but in fact it keeps circling within the designated range and can jump up at any time to pin people under its claws.
How scheming!
He suspected that it was his cousin's fault that he had to spend his precious winter vacation time in remedial classes!
Unfortunately, Ling Sizhe didn't dare to say anything, not even a fart in front of him, so he could only whisper in his heart.
I really don't understand how adults look at people. His cousin is a big devil. He seems to be emotionally stable, but nothing can easily provoke him. Even if there are people who can provoke his cousin, they have probably been dealt with without anyone knowing. That's why no one has discovered his cousin's true face!
He was the only one so smart that he could see early on that his cousin was not a good person at all.
snort.
Ling Sizhe was about to wrinkle his nose when he caught a glimpse of Ling Xiao glancing at him from the corner of his eye. He quickly shrank his neck, lowered his head, and hurriedly started to do the questions again.
Ling Xiao withdrew his gaze and pinched Gu Rong's shoulder again.
How could he not know Gu Rong's little thoughts? He said he would give it a try, but he also kept his defenses tight in a small area and avoided meeting his parents. He might feel that their relationship did not require them to meet his parents, or he might feel that if their relationship was exposed in front of his parents, it would be impossible to get their approval and blessing.
This period of time was enough for Ling Xiao to find out what kind of mentality Gu Rong had in being with him.
Pessimistic attitude.
I probably feel that sooner or later, their relationship will end in a breakup.
Because Ling Xiao said that they wanted to be friends, but in fact they both knew that they could not be real friends given their relationship, but Ling Xiao did not want to let go, and Gu Rong could not stop him from chasing her, so it was better to just agree, agree to give it a try, let the reality be in front of them, and wait for them to finally give up.
I'm not avoiding it, but I can't think of anything good.
I don't know whether I should say that Gu Rong is brave, or whether I should be angry that Gu Rong has no confidence in himself.
But after being angry, I felt heartbroken.
Because some of Gu Rong's behaviors are very contradictory.
If he felt that after being together, the reality would inevitably wear away the bond between them, and if Gu Rong was waiting for this moment, when he could completely sever the connection between them, then Gu Rong should meet with his parents as he thought and expose their relationship to his parents.
Then his parents disagreed and forced them to separate, which led to conflicts, quarrels, cold wars, pain, and unbearable pain... In the end, no matter how much love they had, it would all be worn away by it.
By then, Gu Rong could get rid of him without any psychological burden.
And he had no reason to continue to pester her.
In this way, Gu Rong can return to his own world. He may feel uncomfortable for a while, but he will eventually calm down.
From being immersed in the joy that Gu Rong agreed to try it with him, to discovering that something was wrong, Ling Xiao went to ask Jing Xing what he had said to Gu Rong, and then asked someone to investigate Jing Xing's past. Although this was very unethical, Ling Xiao didn't care. He had to nip all crises in the bud and there couldn't be the slightest mistake.
Facts have proved that Ling Xiao's move was right.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have discovered Gu Rong's little thoughts so quickly.
It really made him angry and helpless.
Don't trust him.
But what is the reason for not trusting him?
Ling Xiao always felt that there was a fundamental problem, but he had not found it yet.
Apart from this, Ling Xiao could only carefully circle the area step by step. Once you entered his encirclement, there was no way you could escape.
Thinking of this, Ling Xiao's hand that was pinching Gu Rong's chin couldn't help but tighten.
So what is Gu Rong thinking about?
Is it because I overtime tutored Ling Sizhe and thought about running into his parents, so I started to hesitate again?
If so, he had his parents—
"I was wondering, after being here for several days, I haven't greeted your parents yet. Isn't that impolite?"
Um?
Ling Xiao lowered his head and stroked his fingers from Gu Rong's chin to Gu Rong's lips.
At this moment, it suddenly occurred to him that his susceptible period had passed. Why hadn't this little omega's estrus period come yet? Was it because of pheromone disorder? With a hint of surprise, he cautiously said, "They won't mind. Besides, you don't usually run into them during your travel time."
"What now?"
Gu Rong looked at the sky outside the window and said, "Your parents should be back by now, right?"
Ling Xiao thought, she was back, but he sent her back to the room and sent a message saying that Gu Rong would not come out, and they were not allowed to come out either, so they should just play in the room.
Whether or not you will have a daughter-in-law in the future depends on whether you can scare her away.
Although they were very dissatisfied and took the opportunity to make him agree to many unequal terms, they all supported him. However, they also laughed at him for having such a relationship.
What do they know?
It's so hard to catch him. What if we're not careful and he tries to escape again?
But Ling Xiao didn't expect what Gu Rong meant by this.
He also glanced out the window, then realized something and whispered, "Yes, I'm back. My family is already preparing dinner. Oh, and they also told me that if you don't mind, you can stay for dinner. It's not good to come and disturb you from tutoring Ling Sizhe, so they asked me to come in and tell you."
Gu Rong paused, glanced at Ling Sizhe, whose eyes were wide and guilty, and then looked at Ling Xiao: "So, your parents want to see me?"
Ling Xiao nodded and said shamelessly: "They have always wanted to see you, but they never had the chance."
After a pause, he added, "If you want to see them too."
Either they have no chance, or you make them have no chance.
Gu Rong looked at Ling Xiao, and finally couldn't help but take a deep breath and asked, "Have you already told your parents about our relationship?"
