Chapter 42

Ye Tianhui followed Gu Shizhang to his home. Actually, this was a bit bold. She felt that they had not yet developed to this stage.

But he invited her, so she wanted to go and take a look.

His house was located in an upscale community. Judging from the gardening arrangement of the community, the house must be worth a lot of money.

He took her to the 26th floor by elevator. As soon as they entered, they saw that the house was decorated and arranged very carefully. Even the walls were made of wood that looked quite expensive. The air was filled with a quiet wood fragrance.

She was curious: "What kind of wood is this?"

Gu Shizhang: "Thai teak."

As he said, he led her to the entrance. The arc-shaped entrance was very unique and had a sense of design. Inside was the living room, which had a whole wall of floor-to-ceiling windows.

Ye Tianhui walked over to have a look. She could overlook Victoria Harbor.

She was a little surprised, but not too surprised: "Is your house very expensive?"

She thought her own house was very good, but compared to this one, there was still some gap.

Sure enough, it was right that she didn't plan to invite him to see it from the beginning. He would definitely not like her small house.

Gu Shizhang took off his windbreaker and hung it neatly aside. Then he smiled and said, "It's indeed not cheap, but on the one hand, I bought it early, when the house price had not risen, and on the other hand, I have a good income."

He walked to the side. There was a bar next to him with a coffee machine and other equipment on the bar. He asked, "Would you like something to drink?"

Ye Tianhui came over: "What do you have?"

Gu Shizhang: "There is coffee, Tea, boiled water."

Ye Tianhui was a little disappointed: "You don't have Coke!"

Gu Shizhang raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a smile: "I don't usually drink beverages, so remember to prepare Coke next time. You actually like drinking Coke?"

Ye Tianhui nodded: "Yeah, it tastes good. Our family now has Coke, which is especially delicious. Last time, a friend invited me to McDonald's, ate a burger, some fried chicken, and drank a sip of Coke. It was really good. "

Gu Shizhang was still smiling, but that smile was a little cold: "Oh, your friend is so nice. He took you to eat at McDonald's. "

Ye Tianhui: "Well, he said McDonald's is from the United States and just opened a store in Hong Kong this year. It is very popular."

Gu Shizhang: "We are very close friends, right?"

Ye Tianhui: "It's pretty good... they all started from We're from the mainland, we help each other."

Gu Shizhang nodded: "Yes, it's really good, it must be very pleasing to the eye."

Ye Tianhui naturally felt the slight sourness in the words. It was obvious that he hated what she said before, saying that she didn't like him.

She glanced at him and said with a smile: "Why do you bother? You're sour! What's wrong with me even if I have a good friend? My friend is naturally pleasing to the eye. Why, do you have any objections?"

Gu Shizhang pursed his lips slightly, with a dark expression.

Seeing this, Ye Tianhui stopped talking about it: "Forget it, forget it, don't mention it, your coffee--"

Who knew that at this time, Gu Shizhang suddenly said: "You said I don't like it."

When he said this, there was a hint of unwillingness in his eyes.

Ye Tianhui was slightly stunned: "Don't say that, it's just a joke."

Why is he so petty? I didn't notice it before.

Gu Shizhang: "Oh? A joke?"

Ye Tianhui: "Oh, it was just a casual talk just now, why do you want to get entangled with this issue? Aren't we already living in peace now? Or do you want to fight with me again?"

Gu Shizhang: "I'm not angry with you, I just want to understand the situation of your friend and see the gap between us, is it not okay?"

Ye Tianhui raised an eyebrow and looked at him.

Gu Shizhang's dark eyes were deep, and he looked at her stubbornly and silently, as if he would not stop until he achieved his goal.

Ye Tianhui snorted and laughed: "Look at you, you were pretending to be generous just now, not angry with me, and very tolerant. Now that you are in your territory, you immediately changed your behavior and started to settle old scores!"

Gu Shizhang: "You just insisted on mentioning him. He treated you to McDonald's... luxurious McDonald's."

Ye Tianhui laughed at him: "Yes, and Coke, delicious, high-end and luxurious Coke!"

Gu Shizhang didn't laugh: "It hurts a little."

Ye Tianhui: "Hurt?"

Gu Shizhang: "Someone just punched me in a fit of anger. Now the backlash is coming, and it feels particularly painful."

Ye Tianhui: ...

Mentioning this, Ye Tianhui felt a little guilty. She knew the strength of her punch from that angle and the possible damage to the opponent.

He guessed that he was not pretending, it really hurt.

If he had been fine and said it didn't hurt, that would have been strange.

She blinked: "Does it hurt so much? I didn't know..."

Gu Shizhang looked at her innocent face and said coldly: "It hurt so much that my mind went blank, my heart was twisted, and I could hardly breathe."

Ye Tianhui: "That's because you held my wrist tightly, of course I was annoyed."

She immediately raised her hand and rubbed her wrist, which didn't hurt at all: "It hurts here too, you see, it's all red."

Gu Shizhang lowered his eyes to look at her wrist. Her wrist bones were slender, and there was a slight bulge on the ulna. Who would have thought that such a wrist contained amazing strength.

He raised his eyes slowly, looking at her guilty yet righteous expression, and said: "Why don't you think about what you said to me?"

Ye Tianhui: "I just said it casually!"

She sighed, very helpless: "Sure enough, men are really hard to please, petty, always bringing up old grudges, can't you learn more from me!"

Gu Shizhang heard this, chuckled, and suddenly bent down to move closer.

The two people were very close, and they could hear each other's breathing.

At a very close distance, he lowered his eyes to look at her, and his dark eyes seemed to see into her heart.

Ye Tianhui slowed down her breathing unconsciously.

The atmosphere seemed to be different all of a sudden.

The room was very quiet. The two people stared at each other in the dim light, and they could see each other's eyes clearly.

Ye Tianhui saw that behind the straight bridge of his nose, the man's eyes were as deep as the sea, as if he wanted to suck her in.

Under the gaze of those eyes, Ye Tianhui's thoughts began to slow down. She seemed to hear the sound of dripping in a trance, very slowly, and for a long time.

It was the dripping from the study room of Da Zhaoguo Yu, the dripping in the middle of the night.

She even seemed to smell the sandalwood fragrance of the study room.

At this moment, Gu Shizhang said in a very low voice: "You called me, and when you heard a woman's voice, you didn't want to talk to me. I don't want to ask you how you felt at that time, because I know you don't want to say it. But you can put yourself in my shoes and think about my feelings."

Ye Tianhui felt that his words were like a gurgling spring, flowing into her heart and ripples in her heart.

His words were so straightforward, and the meaning was obvious, he was jealous.

Gu Shizhang looked at her gently, and said in a patient voice: "Do you have a good relationship with that friend? You said he is good-looking, is he better-looking than me?"

Ye Tianhui's heart softened.

She wanted to explain that it was not like that.

She even had the urge to comfort him.

At this time, Gu Shizhang suddenly withdrew and stood up straight.

As the distance increased, the ambiguity just now disappeared in an instant.

She stared at him blankly, but heard him say in a very light tone: "Or is he just the type you like?"

After saying this, he turned his head, his back to her, facing the coffee machine.

From Ye Tianhui's perspective, she felt that he elegantly pulled a wooden manual lever, as if he was making coffee.

She pursed her lips slightly, and suddenly felt a little silly.

He threw that sentence to her, and she foolishly wanted to comfort him, but he went to make coffee himself.

She was just like a student who was left standing on the podium as punishment.

She stood there silently, with her eyes lowered.

The room was unusually quiet, with only the sound of his movements, and then there seemed to be the aroma of coffee slowly floating, a very mellow aroma, lingering on the wings of her nose.

At this time, Gu Shizhang finally spoke: "Don't you really want to try the coffee?"

Ye Tianhui heard these words, but her brain couldn't react.

Gu Shizhang slowly turned his head and cast his gaze on her eyes.

She felt that there seemed to be some strange emotions in his always calm and gentle eyes.

Under the gaze of these two eyes, Ye Tianhui regained her sanity.

She clenched her fist lightly and said casually: "Is the coffee delicious? Is it comparable to the delicious, high-end and luxurious Coke?"

Gu Shizhang's lips twitched, and he pursed out a faint smile: "Try it?"

Ye Tianhui: "Okay."

As she said that, she walked over and studied the coffee machine. The coffee machine looked a bit old, as if it was mechanical, relatively old, and different from the Ye family's coffee machine.

She raised her finger and poked it, asking, "What kind of coffee machine is this? Is it an antique?"

Gu Shizhang explained to her, "This is an old-fashioned coffee machine, more than 30 years old. It's not an antique, but I'm used to it. The coffee made by this old-fashioned coffee machine is more fragrant." As

he said this, he felt Ye Tianhui looking up at him.

She looked so seriously, and Gu Shizhang's heart moved: "Hmm?"

Ye Tianhui looked pious and serious: "Shizhang, about my friend you just mentioned, I actually want to tell you-"

Gu Shizhang's breathing tightened slightly.

He naturally guessed what she was going to say.

He pursed his thin lips and said in a very low voice: "You say."

Ye Tianhui tilted her head slightly, and her lips moved with difficulty. She wanted to say something, but she didn't seem to know how to start.

Gu Shizhang coaxed her gently, "You can say whatever you want to say. I won't be angry with you. I just want to hear you tell the truth."

Ye Tianhui sighed and looked into Gu Shizhang's eyes.

She could clearly feel that Gu Shizhang cared about her. His emotions had obviously been aroused by her, and he was holding his breath waiting for her to speak.

He must have thought that she was going to say something important.

She finally said, "He treated me to McDonald's, and it tasted really good. At that time, I thought that Coke was getting better and better. You don't even have Coke at home. I'm so disappointed." When

she said this, she caught Gu Shizhang's slightly stunned expression.

He was obviously surprised. He didn't expect that she was just talking about Coke, so he didn't even react.

He was always calm, rational and composed, but with this expression, he looked like an immortal who had practiced for ten thousand years and had broken the rules.

That feeling... was great.

Ye Tianhui was very proud and felt that she had made up for herself.

She suppressed the pride that almost jumped out of her heart and said with an innocent and confused look: "What's wrong? You, you are not angry about this, are you?"

Gu Shizhang did not speak. Disappointment and the feeling of being teased made him look a little bit wolfish. He pursed his lips and looked at her with a condemning look.

Ye Tianhui said very kindly and considerately: "If there is no Coke, I can make do with coffee. Don't be too sad about this."

Gu Shizhang looked at her silently for a long time, and finally raised the corners of his lips.

She did it on purpose. She

has a strong desire for revenge and learns quickly. She knows how to grasp his emotions and knows how to deliberately tease him.

But he really wouldn't be angry about these.

If she wasn't like this, she would not be Ye Tianhui.

So he smiled at her and said, "Don't be sad, just drink some coffee reluctantly. I'm wronging you."

Ye Tianhui: "I drank it once in a cafe outside Hong Kong University last time. It was not good and bitter, but now I smell that your coffee seems to be very fragrant."

Gu Shizhang: "So you can try it. Different coffees have different tastes. Look, this coffee is from a Panama farm."

Ye Tianhui was curious: "Panama?"

Gu Shizhang: "The altitude is as high as 1,800 meters, the temperature is low, even if the air is dry, there will be clouds and mist, and there are virgin forests to provide shade. The temperature at night is very low. Under this natural climate, the coffee maturity period is delayed. There is also volcanic soil there that can provide better nutrients, so the coffee there naturally tastes different."

Ye Tianhui: "Oh."

She became more curious: "This is very expensive "

Gu Shizhang: "Expensive, probably many times more expensive than the coffee in the cafe outside the university, although not as good as your high-end and luxurious Coke."

Ye Tianhui smiled: "Okay, then I'll try it."

Gu Shizhang: "Try a little first."

At this time, the water in the coffee machine was already turned on, and Gu Shizhang poured the ground coffee powder into it, so Ye Tianhui saw the water flowing from the water tank, slowly dripping into the coffee powder, and flowing down.

At this time, the fragrance was already very strong, mellow and very moving.

Gu Shizhang looked at her bright eyes, looking expectant, and smiled: "It's almost ready."

Ye Tianhui: "Okay!"

Gu Shizhang took out a set of exquisite coffee cups, rinsed them, and poured a cup for Ye Tianhui: "Take a small sip first to feel it."

Ye Tianhui took it and took a sip. She felt that the rich aroma instantly filled her mouth. The taste was smooth, and the slight bitterness in the deep part magnified the rich aroma. It was indeed a fragrance she had never tasted before.

She sighed: "It tastes good, it's better than the coffee in the cafe outside!"

In fact, there was also coffee on the bar counter of the Ye family, but she didn't even think about trying it, and those coffees didn't have such a rich aroma as Gu Shizhang's coffee.

Gu Shizhang smiled and said, "You sit here, sip coffee and enjoy the evening scenery."

Ye Tianhui: "What about you?"

She was puzzled for a moment: "We won't just drink coffee, will we? Is there any rice?"

Gu Shizhang laughed dumbly: "How dare I let you go hungry, how about pasta? I have ready-made ingredients here, so I asked someone to prepare it."

Ye Tianhui nodded: "Yeah, okay, then pasta."

Gu Shizhang went to cook. Ye Tianhui sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out the window, but saw the rippling water of Victoria Harbor. There were some other colors in the lush green of autumn, just like embroidery on green cloth, painting the shore with thick ink and heavy colors, and the skyscrapers along the coast were crystal clear and magnificent under the sunlight.

The autumn sky is naturally clear and pure, with seagulls flying faintly, becoming small black dots moving under the clear sky.

She looked at the scenery, thinking about the exhaustion and despair she felt when she swam in the raging sea that night, and also thinking about the voice that rang in her ears when she almost gave up.

He called her Huihui.

Ye Tianhui closed her eyes slightly and sipped the coffee in small sips. The coffee was indeed fragrant, as if it was blended with the sunshine from a foreign land.

She imagined Gu Shizhang tasting coffee, and then she thought of him in Yu's study, where he tasted tea elegantly and asked her how the new tea from the south tasted this year.

She felt a surge of shame in her heart.

In fact, she couldn't tell him and him apart at all. Now, many of her feelings towards Gu Shizhang actually reflected her attachment to the distant him.

She was a minister who was fighting outside, but she actually had such a thought in her heart that she had never noticed at all.

Perhaps only a thousand years later, when the majestic imperial power dissipated like smoke, when those deep eyes no longer stared at her, she could honestly and clearly examine her own heart.

"What are you thinking about?" A clear and deep voice sounded from her ears.

Ye Tianhui was a little dazed when she heard the voice.

The familiar voice gave her a strange illusion, as if she had returned to the disappeared past.

"What's wrong?" He walked up to her with his long legs.

Ye Tianhui raised her eyes from the mystery and looked over.

The high-necked fine-knit sweater slightly touched her Adam's apple, making her figure look elegant. Although she was dressed like a homebody, her every move had the elegance of a rich and leisurely person.

Just like that person.

She shook her head slowly and whispered, "Nothing—"

His dark eyes stared at her, as if he was a little worried.

Ye Tianhui shook her head to cover up: "Is there any more coffee? I want some more."

Gu Shizhang: "Still want some? If you don't drink it often, it's not good to drink too much in one breath."

Ye Tianhui: "Okay..."

Gu Shizhang's eyes stayed on her face, seeing a faint blush on her cheeks, he raised his eyebrows slightly: "Is the room stuffy? I open the window?"

Ye Tianhui shook her head: "It's okay, it's not hot."

Hearing this, Gu Shizhang looked at her: "You were sitting there just now, I don't know what you were thinking about, you were thinking very deeply."

Ye Tianhui turned her face away and talked about something else: "The scenery here is pretty good, the view is great."

Gu Shizhang chuckled and stopped asking questions. Instead, he said: "I'll go get you a gift. I promised to give it to you."

Ye Tianhui said "um" very softly.

Gu Shizhang turned around and went to the next room. He came out quickly with a beautiful box in his hand.

Ye Tianhui was curious: "What is this?"

The box was wrapped in crystal paper and colorful stripes. It was full of design and looked exquisite and expensive.

Gu Shizhang handed the box to her: "Open it and see for yourself."

Ye Tianhui took it, tore open the crystal cellophane, opened the box, and then she saw a furry puppy, white, curly, ugly and clever.

She was a little surprised, holding the puppy and taking a closer look, and then couldn't help laughing: "This dog is silly and pitiful!"

Gu Shizhang: "A little bit."

Ye Tianhui actually liked it very much in her heart, and the inexplicable melancholy emotions just now also dissipated.

She held the dog and rubbed it carefully: "I am not a child anymore. I am holding a toy dog. Isn't it strange?"

Gu Shizhang: "It's not strange. Many adults will like this. I think you will like it."

Ye Tianhui accepted it happily: "Okay."

She fiddled with it curiously. The fur was so soft and smooth, and it felt especially comfortable to touch. The puppy was also well made, with black eyes and a little red nose, and it looked so lifelike, lively and vivid, as if it were real. She couldn't help but

grab the plush dog's fur: "It's quite cute."

Gu Shizhang smiled and said, "This room is the study. There are some books in it. You can read them at your leisure. I'm going to cook." Ye Tianhui hurriedly responded politely: "Do you need my help?" Gu Shizhang smiled at her, his black eyes gentle: "Can you do it?" Ye Tianhui felt guilty: "It's okay..." Gu Shizhang saw through her at a glance, and the corners of his lips raised: "Let me do it. I'm not a good cook, please be more tolerant." Ye Tianhui naturally had no objection: "As long as it's edible, I can make do with it if it's raw!" ************ Ye Tianhui had also eaten pasta when she was at the Ye family. Now she has some understanding of all kinds of ingredients, but the shape of the pasta made by Gu Shizhang is different from what she has eaten before. The pasta strips are very narrow and slightly thick, with rich sauce on them, which looks very appetizing. Ye Tianhui: "You are a good cook!" Before eating, she already felt the deliciousness of this pasta. Gu Shizhang smiled and said, "There are many kinds of pasta, this is Tagliatelle." Ye Tianhui raised her eyebrows and showed a puzzled expression. Gu Shizhang introduced several kinds of pasta to her, and finally said, "As for Tagliatelle, it is hand-rolled, and the meat sauce is boiled with broth and small tomato cubes. You taste it, it should taste good." Ye Tianhui tasted it, and it was indeed true. The meat sauce could be said to be integrated with the noodles. It was very chewy, but it melted in the mouth. Gu Shizhang: "Try this again, this is black truffle, airlifted from Provence, France." Ye Tianhui looked at the black truffle and was a little curious, so she took a bite. It was very crisp and tender, with a rich aroma. She sighed with satisfaction: "Very, very delicious!" Seeing her satisfied look, Gu Shizhang smiled: "Would you like some red wine?" Ye Tianhui was very interested when she heard it: "There is wine, give me a bottle!" Gu Shizhang smiled at her when he heard this, but asked: "How much can you drink?" Ye Tianhui: "It should be pretty good, right?" In her previous life, she had a good alcohol tolerance, and she was the one who could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk! Gu Shizhang sighed: "I thought about it, my red wine is quite expensive, I'm afraid you will drink it all in one go, it would be a waste, save it, don't drink it." Ye Tianhui: "..." She was a little bit unbelievable, so she had to say: "Forget it, if you don't want to drink it, then don't drink it, go to the door!" Fortunately, this pasta is not bad, top-notch and delicious, much better than the pasta she had at Ye's house. This meal was very enjoyable. After dinner, seeing that it was getting late, Ye Tianhui prepared to go back. Gu Shizhang said he would send her off, but she thought it was unnecessary, she could just take a taxi back. Walking on the streets of Hong Kong and looking at the prosperous night scene, she also mentioned to him: "Actually, I came to Hong Kong to find my biological father." Gu Shizhang: "Did your father come to Hong Kong a few years ago?" Ye Tianhui: "Yeah." As for Ye Tianhui, she cherishes everything she has with Gu Shizhang now. The relationship between them is like a green gauze curtain hidden in the morning mist. It's great like this now. If it's a little more, it will lose its flavor. So she said carefully: "Now that we have known each other as father and daughter, I will live in their house." Gu Shizhang understood: "No wonder." Ye Tianhui: "No wonder what?" Gu Shizhang smiled and said: "I see that you have stopped trying to make money by betting on horses recently. It seems that your father has told you not to worry about it for the time being." Ye Tianhui: "That's about it. They give me some pocket money every month and also give me a house. I asked and the house should be worth a lot." Speaking of this, she said more: "My house is about 800 square feet. Although it's not too big, I think it's okay. It has several rooms and a good view. It's similar to yours, but not as big and the decoration is not as good as yours." Gu Shizhang smiled She said, "Mine is just a very ordinary decoration, mainly for practicality. Your house will definitely look better than mine if you decorate it well." Ye Tianhui: "I think so too. This house is not for me to live in, but a gift to me. It should be rented out to earn rent, but I can't bear to do so." Gu Shizhang was obviously somewhat surprised: "It seems that your family is very generous to you. You are indeed different from before." Ye Tianhui: "Yes, yes, yes. Anyway, I am a young lady now." Gu Shizhang: "Congratulations, this is a good thing. I didn't expect you to have such an adventure." Ye Tianhui sighed: "Of course, young ladies also have young ladies' troubles." Gu Shizhang: "For example?" Ye Tianhui brought up such things as learning to drive, not being able to go in and out freely, and the possibility of having to arrange an arranged marriage. She said helplessly: "Last time our marriage partner came to our house, I ran away immediately when I saw something was wrong. When I ran out of the house, I brought some delicious food with me, thinking of sharing it with you, but no one answered my phone call." Gu Shizhang paused when he heard this. After that, he slowly looked over and looked at her, and asked calmly: "The last time you are talking about, is it the time when you went out to eat McDonald's?" Ye Tianhui nodded: "Yes." Gu Shizhang's expression became a little subtle. He was silent for a moment, and then he tentatively asked again: "Your surname is Ye, so your biological father's surname is also Ye? Ye family?" Ye Tianhui did not hide it: "Of course, my biological father's surname is of course Ye. Didn't I ask you last time, it was that family." Gu Shizhang stopped talking. Ye Tianhui felt that something was wrong with him, and looked at him again: "What's wrong?" Gu Shizhang let out a sigh and said: "It's nothing. The Ye family is not an ordinary family. You have really become a rich lady now." Ye Tianhui: "Yes, so you have to get along well with me. You may not make a friend like me in your life."

Gu Shizhang: "..."

He smiled bitterly: "You are right, I have to curry favor with you."

Ye Tianhui smiled and said: "That's right, next time remember to give expensive gifts, be generous when inviting you to dinner, and remember to take out the good wine. You will never suffer a loss if you follow a rich girl like me, do you understand?"

Gu Shizhang: "... Got it."

The night was dim, and the lights were just coming on. The two of them talked and bickered, and just walked forward like this. They found it very interesting, and even felt a little reluctant to leave.

But Ye Tianhui had to go back eventually.

At this time, a taxi passed by, and Ye Tianhui waved, but the taxi drove away without looking back as if it didn't see it.

She was a little annoyed: "Why don't you stop!"

When she said this, Gu Shizhang beside her smiled and said: "Maybe it's because we haven't done something yet."

Ye Tianhui: "What?"

Gu Shizhang reached out, took her hand, pulled her closer, and almost pulled her into his arms.

Ye Tianhui was slightly startled and looked over subconsciously.

So, in this hazy night, she fell into his sight.

His dark eyes looked at her without blinking, and there seemed to be something different in his eyes.

She pursed her lips and wanted to make a sound, but her throat seemed to be strangled by something.

She turned her brain with some effort, letting herself think of something.

Who knew that at this time, Gu Shizhang slowly lowered his head.

Everything that happened next seemed to be in slow motion. She saw a strand of her hair being blown by the wind, and the red and green lights in the distance turned that hair into gold. She looked at him in that dreamy golden light, watching him getting closer and closer to her.

The clock seemed to be deliberately slowed down, and everything seemed to be in slow motion in a movie. So during this long period of time, some random thoughts flooded Ye Tianhui's mind.

Why was he looking at her like that? What on earth was he going to do? What else did they not do?

She began to imagine, and her heart began to beat faster.

At this time, Gu Shizhang drooped his eyelids.

Perhaps because of the close distance, she clearly saw that the eyelashes were actually very long, and when they slowly drooped, they were as beautiful as butterfly wings.

It turned out that he had such beautiful eyelashes.

The breath lingered, and everything was ambiguous to the extreme.

Gu Shizhang tilted his head slightly and adjusted the angle. This angle made the two of them very close, with their noses almost touching.

She could hear his breathing, and the hot breath gently sprayed on her face, making her feel as if she was gently touched by a feather.

A man sighed in her ears: "Ye Tianhui, tell me now, what are we?"

Ye Tianhui: "What, what..."

Gu Shizhang's voice became hoarse: "You say, you tell me."

Ye Tianhui didn't understand: "What should I tell you?"

Gu Shizhang looked at her slightly confused eyes gently, and patiently guided: "We are in love, right?"

In love...

As soon as these three words came out, Ye Tianhui seemed to be instantly touched by some god, her heartbeat accelerated, her brain went blank, and a buzzing sound rang in her ears.

She looked at her blankly, and saw him looking at her with inquiring eyes.

She couldn't help herself, couldn't refuse, and nodded gently.

Gu Shizhang lowered his eyelids, watching her nod, and his eyes overflowed with endless tenderness.

He tilted his head slightly, and put his lips on her cheek, but it was just a light touch before leaving.

After that, he pursed his lips and said softly: "Ye Tianhui, remember, it was you who admitted that we were in love."

Ye Tianhui was confused: "Don't you admit it?"

Gu Shizhang didn't expect to hear this. He looked at Ye Tianhui, and her eyes were clear and harmless at this time, but he knew very well that if he dared to say he didn't admit it, she would punch him now!

He laughed softly, and the laughter was pure and pleasant, and it came from his chest.

Ye Tianhui's face became even hotter because of his smile: "What are you laughing at!"

Gu Shizhang bowed his head, rested his forehead against hers, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "You must remember what you said just now, we are in love, you are not allowed to deny it."

Ye Tianhui: "How could I deny it, you make me sound like a deadbeat..."

Gu Shizhang said in a coaxing tone: "Well, of course you keep your word, so now that you have said it, you have to be responsible for me, understand?"

Responsible?

The fog in Ye Tianhui's mind disappeared instantly, and she became somewhat sober.

How does this look like signing a contract?

She suddenly remembered the lawyer of the Ye family, the serious look of that lawyer.

She looked at Gu Shizhang again, and seeing Gu Shizhang's coaxing look, her mind became alert.

She tilted her head and looked at him in confusion: "Aren't we talking about falling in love? What does this have to do with responsibility?"

Gu Shizhang: "Shouldn't I be responsible?"

Ye Tianhui looked at him in confusion.

Gu Shizhang sighed, looked at her tenderly, and coaxed in a low voice: "When you fall in love, you have to be wholehearted and loyal to each other, right?"

Ye Tianhui: "It seems so."

Gu Shizhang raised his hand and held hers, his eyes focused and pious: "Do you know there is a saying called holding your hand and growing old together?"

Ye Tianhui understood a little.

She frowned and thought about this question seriously.

Gu Shizhang looked at her quietly.

A double-decker bus passed by and lights were flashing in the distance. Ye Tianhui didn't say anything, frowning in thought.

Gu Shizhang waited patiently.

After thinking for a while, Ye Tianhui finally said, "I think what you said is not quite right."

Gu Shizhang remained calm: "Why is it not right?"

Ye Tianhui: "Although I just came to Hong Kong, I also know that a person can fall in love several times in his life. Falling in love does not necessarily mean getting married, and even if you get married, you don't necessarily have to be tied to each other for life. This is not signing a life and death contract. The key is to get along with each other happily. This is what we mean by parting amicably."

Gu Shizhang: "..."

He raised his eyebrows: "Huh?"

Ye Tianhui continued: "Falling in love is dating, and dating is dating. You can also break up after a while. We just started, you can't ask me to do this."

It's as if she bought a bottle of Coke on the street, but the other party asked her to be responsible for the entire refrigerator.

How could it be like that.

Gu Shizhang: "Who taught you these principles?"

Ye Tianhui looked over, and under the dim light cast by the street lamp, his expression was gloomy.

The man was not very happy.

But she still insisted: "From what we saw on TV, modern men and women are like this. Being faithful to one person is all old news! And you Hong Kong people certainly don't know that we in the mainland have broken the four olds. We liberated women and liberated their minds. We want to break all feudal shackles, and we want freedom of marriage and equality between men and women."

Gu Shizhang took a breath, was silent for a while, and finally said: "Okay, it's fine."

Seeing this, Ye Tianhui was relieved. "But don't think too much. I'm not the kind of person who is indecisive. I have no opinion on our relationship. I think it's fine... I just think you shouldn't be so anxious, as if you want to catch me and tie me up. We can talk slowly and talk about other things later."

Gu Shizhang looked at her kind look, pulled his lips, and smiled: "You understand a lot."

Ye Tianhui: "Just a little bit."

Quite humble.
