Chapter 401: Lust

There was silence for a few seconds.

Even Annan looked at Gu Zhiyu in surprise, as if he had not expected this answer.

Chu Peipei stood up excitedly: "Come on, both of you! Explain the answers!"

Annan withdrew his gaze from Gu Zhiyu and looked around at the eyes flashing with gossip.

It seemed that Long Xiaobao was the only one who was relatively calm in the whole audience, still immersed in the world of snacks.

Annan found it a little funny: "Love grows over time, how do you explain it..."

After thinking for a while, I made a simple translation of the idiom: "When two people spend a long time together, they gradually develop feelings for each other."

As if they found Annan's explanation a bit boring, everyone turned their attention to Guzhi Island.

"You two have different answers!" Zhao Ping'an was the first to speak, and he said, "From this point of view, it was Brother Gu who fell in love first!"

Li Shihan loves to listen to gossip, and couldn't contain her excitement: "I want to listen to President Gu's version!"

Long Cong'an was also brave enough: "It was love at first sight! I was wondering why Mr. Gu was so strange back then..."

Chu Peipei, who was standing by, also came over and said, "What's so strange about it? I'd like to hear the details!"

Only the older Aunt Hu remained silent, but silently moved the melon seeds towards her. She looked like she was ready for everything except gossip.

A group of people looked at Gu Zhiyu with a smile, trying to dig out his mental journey.

Before Long Cong'an could say anything, Gu Zhiyu imitated Annan and calmly translated the idiom: "I liked it at first sight."

"Yo!"

“Yo!”

A crowd of people cheered in unison: "I loved it at first sight!!"

Although Annan was as shameless as ever, his ears were slightly hot.

First glance?

She tried hard to recall the scene of their first meeting.

It was on the ship trading with Long Cong'an that the appearance-oriented Fugui suddenly fell into Gu Zhiyu's arms. She looked at him a few more times because of his stunning appearance...

Did the man fall in love with her at that time?

But he didn't take her seriously at all at that time... He was so cold and aloof! He didn't look like he was attracted to her at all.

Annan curled his lips. What a sultry guy, he's really good at pretending!

She had always thought that the relationship between the two of them had developed during their time together in the mountains and the base. At least that was how she thought. She had never expected that this guy had been harboring evil thoughts so early on.

Before Annan could finish his thought, Zhao Ping'an made a face and joked, "My idol, you are obviously a step behind. You are not as affectionate as Brother Gu!"

Is he affectionate?

Annan was not convinced: "Love at first sight is just lust after beauty. Love that grows over time is true love!"

The crowd started to make a noise again, and this time even Long Xiaobao joined in.

"Mom, what does it mean to be attracted by someone's beauty?"

Li Shihan slapped him and said, "Go away! Children, don't interrupt when adults are chatting!"

Gu Zhiyu explained to the child with a frank look on his face: "It's because your Aunt An is pretty and likable."

Long Xiaobao had a look on his face saying, "I see."

"I understand! I'm attracted to Aunt An, too!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Li Shihan looked at his son and laughed so hard that he almost choked: "You silly boy, this idiom is not used like that! Go away and play somewhere else!"

Long Xiaobao curled his lips. The adult world is so hard to understand.

Fugui, who was not far away, came over and rubbed his waist. Right, right! It's hard to understand what they say!

After the group had made enough noise, they finally let Annan and Gu Zhiyu go and started the next round of the game.

The ones drawn this time were Chu Peipei and Hu Cuilan.

Lee Si Han asked: "Who is your favorite person?"

Both of their answers were unexpected.

The first person to answer was Chu Peipei, who answered without even thinking, "I love Nannan the most."

Gu Zhiyu raised his eyes and glanced at her indifferently.

Chu Peipei felt a chill on her back. She twitched her lips and explained:

"Mr. Gu, please don't get me wrong! There are many kinds of love. My love for Nan Nan is very pure, and there is no ulterior motive at all!"

When talking about the color of the picture, a group of people remembered the saying "beauty brings lust" and they all laughed again.

After laughing for a while, Chu Peipei explained seriously:

"If I were to say who I loved the most, my parents, my husband, or the baby in my belly... I would have to struggle for a while before choosing one."

"But the old Chu Peipei has gone with them. The current Chu Peipei only exists because of Nan Nan. She is my adoptive parent, my best friend and my relatives."

Annan had not thought of this answer at first, but looking at Chu Peipei's sincere eyes at this moment, he felt that this was the answer she should give.

The two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

It is said that you can tell whether the other person really likes you. In her previous life, she did not understand this truth and really treated Bai Wenbin and Qian Ying'er as her friends and treated them sincerely.

Now that I think about it, it was because she had never received true love and friendship after her mother and grandparents passed away.

Therefore, I don’t know that I can feel my boiling heart.

It's not about the actions or the details, but about feeling the burning sincerity.

Just as she never doubted Gu Zhiyu's feelings for her, Chu Peipei's sincerity was equally clear.

Annan raised his lips.

Thank God for giving her a second chance. She now has a lover, friends, warmth and a home.

After Chu Peipei finished answering, it was Hu Cuilan's turn.

Zhao Pingan just said: "My mother must love me the most!"

Then Hu Cuilan gave a different answer almost at the same time as him:

"I love myself the most."

The whole audience fell silent again, as if no one had expected Hu Cuilan to say this.

Zhao Pingan was stunned for a moment, and shook his head a little embarrassedly: "Huh! It's not me??"

Annan was also somewhat surprised. After all, Hu Cuilan's love for her son was visible to the naked eye.

It seems to have become a tacit consensus that women make selfless contributions and sacrifice their lives after becoming mothers.

The old people's infinitely sacrificial and selfless love for their children is a deeply rooted impression in people's minds.

No one expected that Hu Cuilan would answer like this.

She glanced at her son with a smile and said, "Don't worry, you are indeed the one I love the most."

He quickly added, "Except myself, of course."

Then he patted Zhao Ping'an's head as if he was treating a child and said, "It is because I love myself the most that I have you."

Li Shihan reached out and grabbed a handful of melon seeds: "Aunt Hu, does this sound like a story?"

Zhao Pingan was also curious: "Mom, tell me."

Hu Cuilan smiled. Her story was actually very simple, in short, it was about pleasing herself throughout her life.
