I like that you're not pretentious!
If someone else said that, Qin Chu would think that the other person was showing off.
I really can't find anything to praise about her, so I say she's naive and genuine.
But as Lu Xizhou gazed at her expression, it was as if her authenticity and genuineness were extremely rare qualities in this world, making her one in a million.
You probably think I'm showing off, right?
Lu Xizhou looked into Qin Chu's eyes and said, "You feel that I could have praised you for being beautiful, for having personality, for being cool and stylish, etc., which are all things that can be seen with my own eyes, but instead I have to say something ambiguous like that you are not pretending."
Qin Chu's gaze paused slightly.
Lu Xizhou laughed, "Qin Chu, I dare say that I understand you better than anyone else. Do you believe me?"
"I don't believe it!"
Qin Chu decisively spoke up.
My heart was pounding rapidly.
On one hand, she felt that Lu Xizhou was flirting with her again.
On one hand, I felt that what he said was true.
But the latter idea was rejected by Qin Chu as soon as it popped into his head.
Lu Xizhou understands her better than anyone else?
Are you kidding me?
From the first time she met Lu Xizhou at the hot spring resort with Li Zi, they had only known each other for half a year.
Even when he gave her the race car, she didn't even have his phone number or WeChat.
Not to mention that we've only been in contact for the last few months.
What does he know about her?
"I knew you wouldn't believe me. Fine, let me explain..."
Lu Xizhou sat cross-legged and looked at Qin Chu, saying, "You're cold and aloof just because you don't know how to face this world that's so hostile towards you. You always feel like everyone around you is smiling one second and then turning on you the next, pointing their finger at you and saying to others, 'Do you know who this is? The illegitimate daughter of the Qin family!'"
Qin Chu's expression changed slightly.
Lu Xizhou said seriously, "You think you're a cactus, covered in thorns, so that others won't dare to approach you and you won't get hurt, right? But Qin Chu, in my eyes, you're just the little match girl under the overpass."
"Snowflakes are falling heavily, pedestrians are hurrying by, and you are the only one walking alone on the unfamiliar street, almost frozen. You dream of someone coming up to you, buying your matches, and then lighting a bonfire to warm you up."
Qin Chu stared blankly at Lu Xizhou, and moved her lips as if to refute.
But I don't know what she could say.
Lu Xizhou took a deep breath and took a step closer to Qin Chu. "Qin Chu, I'm sure I'm the one who can warm your heart. Do you want to... come into my arms?"
? ? ?
Qin Chu was taken aback.
Shouldn't a normal person say, "Do you want to hold my hand?"
To my arms?
"Lu Xizhou, are you sure you're not being a pervert?"
Qin Chu raised her eyes and glared at him.
My ears started to feel hot.
Her heart, which was already pounding wildly, was so pounding that it felt like her eardrums were starting to hurt.
"If I said this to every beautiful woman, then I would indeed be a pervert. But Qin Chu, I only say this to you, and I'll say it for the rest of my life. This isn't being a pervert, it's... being straightforward!"
Lu Xizhou raised his chin. "Hurry up and give me a straight answer, are you coming or not!"
"I'm not coming!"
Qin Chu's decisive refusal.
There was a brief moment of stillness in the air.
Just when Qin Chu thought Lu Xizhou would get angry and leave.
They might even point their finger at her and say, "Qin Chu, you don't know what's good for you."
Lu Xizhou took another step forward.
The two were originally only one meter apart.
With that movement, Qin Chu could almost feel her knee touching his.
It's wet and slippery.
I feel an indescribable sadness.
The air in front of my nose was filled with the smell of Lu Xizhou's sweat.
It doesn't smell bad.
Even so, this was the closest Qin Chu had ever been to a woman in the past 26 years.
I subconsciously moved back.
But right behind her was the railing of the boxing ring.
There was absolutely no way to retreat.
"Qin Chu, I know what you're thinking."
He reached out and patted Qin Chu's face, gesturing for her to look up at him.
Lu Xizhou said in a deep voice, "You're going to say that even if you're moved and agree to be my girlfriend, our relationship won't last, right?"
Qin Chu looked up.
Lu Xizhou continued, "How long can a relationship last? In the end, it will lead to marriage. The surname I bear means that my marriage will not be something I can do as I please. My parents, the Lu family, will never let me marry an illegitimate daughter."
Lu Xizhou spoke each sentence.
Qin Chu's face paled slightly.
By the time Lu Xizhou finished speaking, Qin Chu's face had almost lost all color.
Lu Xizhou suddenly laughed, "How about it? I wasn't wrong, was I?"
Seeing that Qin Chu remained silent, she knew that Qin Chu was truly angry.
Lu Xizhou braced himself with one hand on the ground and moved over to sit next to Qin Chu.
Shoulder to shoulder.
The smell of sweat from their breath was also more noticeable.
Qin Chu, however, did not find the smell unpleasant at all.
Do you know why I can't live without you?
Lu Xizhou turned his head and asked Qin Chu.
Looking back, the man's face, flushed from the intense exercise, gradually calmed down.
As if in the blink of an eye, he transformed back into that handsome, dashing man with arrogant eyes.
At this moment, however, he no longer possessed the frivolous and unruly demeanor he had displayed during their previous meetings.
Qin Chu inexplicably sensed a hint of unease and apprehension emanating from him.
As if he had found his weakness, Qin Chu smiled and asked, "Lu Xizhou, are you... nervous?"
Whether it was Lu Xizhou or Fu Yanci.
