"Are you kidding me?"
My lips twitched slightly.
Do you know what you're saying?
However, Gu Lianyi looked at me very seriously and said, "I'm not joking, but I've thought about it carefully."
"No one is more suitable than you."
"At least not in my eyes."
I pointed to myself.
"Look closely, I'm only eighteen years old. I'm not a good match for you at all, so how could we be a good match?"
“It has nothing to do with age.” Gu Lianyi shook her head slightly: “Besides looking a little young, you don’t look like a child at all in other aspects.”
At this point, Gu Lianyi added, "I wasn't drunk last night."
I frowned slightly.
"You started testing me last night?"
I suddenly felt a bit scared.
I consider myself a seasoned veteran, but I didn't really pay attention to what happened last night, or rather, I didn't think of Gu Lianyi as complicated as I thought.
Gu Lianyi shook her head again and said, "At first, I just wanted to find someone to drink with to relieve my boredom."
"After walking around, we arrived at the coffin shop, where we witnessed you facing more than a dozen shop owners, each with their own agendas, without showing the slightest fear, and with great composure in your actions and thoughts."
"That's why I became interested in you."
"After that, I pretended to be drunk to see what kind of person you were."
"Clearly, you haven't disappointed me."
"As I watched you help me tidy my clothes and take off my shoes, doing each step so carefully and cautiously, as if afraid of doing anything out of line, I became more and more interested in you."
“Someone like you,” Gu Lianyi looked at me, “even if you were only eighteen, I would still think that you would be more outstanding than most people.”
"after all……"
Gu Lianyi tossed her hair. "I'm quite confident in my charm."
I fell silent.
Gu Lianyi is indeed not simple.
Gu Nianci and Gu Nianci are really the same kind of people.
The difference is that she is more direct than Gu Nianci, and it is precisely this that left me speechless for a moment.
After a long pause, I frowned and said, "Even so, I can't agree to that."
"Why?"
"I have someone I like," I said earnestly.
Gu Lianyi paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "The girl who came to my place with you that day?"
"Don't worry, I'm only letting you be my boyfriend temporarily."
"It's not really about making you my boyfriend."
"What do you mean?" I was a little confused.
"My family is pressuring me to marry someone I don't like, so I wanted you to be my boyfriend and help me get through this." Gu Lianyi didn't hide anything.
"You know, in families like ours, it's very difficult for us to make our own decisions about marriage."
"but……"
Gu Lianyi's expression was complicated. "I just want to make my own decision this once."
“You can find someone else.” I thought for a moment and said, “I can agree to other things, but you should find someone else for this.”
"The reason?" Gu Lianyi asked after a moment of silence.
I shook my head.
There is no reason.
"Then the refusal is invalid!"
"You're cheating!" I said helplessly.
“There always needs to be a reasonable reason to reject someone. If you reject me, I need to know why, otherwise I’ll feel like a failure, like I have no charm at all.” Gu Lianyi looked at me with a feigned aggrieved expression.
"You just said you believed in your own charm," I said irritably.
"That was just now."
"I don't believe it anymore."
"..."
What a woman says is always right.
Women are fickle.
These two sentences are applicable at any time.
I sighed and didn't agree. Instead, I asked, "Don't you have a bad relationship with your family? Are you afraid of this?"
Gu Lianyi shook her head and said, "It's different."
"I came out to prove a point."
"But frankly speaking, this matter is my fate."
"I just want to resist."
