Chapter 844 Suspension Bridge Reaction
The basketball hit Li Jinxing's back hard.
Li Jinxing frowned. Such force was not enough to make him frown in pain. He was just thinking that if the basketball hit Gu Wanqiu's face, it would definitely cause injury, or at least swelling.
He had clearly protected Gu Wanqiu from any accidents, but just thinking about the possibility of her getting hurt made his heart tighten as if it would break at any moment.
He lowered his head to look at Gu Wanqiu's face. Gu Wanqiu tilted her head back, so he could see her face very clearly, and even count her eyelashes one by one. It's not like they haven't been in close contact before, but now they are so close in front of so many people. Even Gu Wanqiu, who is usually unmoved, can't control her emotions.
She had to admit that when she was almost in danger, the feeling of Li Jinxing flashing and protecting her was so heart-pounding.
This kind of heartbeat reaction is definitely not love, but the so-called suspension bridge reaction. When a person encounters danger, his heartbeat accelerates. If there is a person of the opposite sex next to him at this time, it is easy to mistake this physiological reaction for love.
"Are you okay?" Li Jinxing's voice was a little hoarse, and if you listened carefully, you could still hear the nervousness in it.
Gu Wanqiu lowered her eyes and looked at her shoes: "Li Jinxing, my shoelaces are undone."
She was distracting herself, but her shoelaces were indeed undone.
Li Jinxing looked down and without any extra thought, he squatted down to tie Gu Wanqiu's shoelaces. Gu Wanqiu stared at Li Jinxing's head and found that the tips of his ears were slightly red.
There was a stain on his back where the basketball hit him. She was close enough to hear the sound of the basketball hitting his back, and it sounded painful.
Gu Wanqiu always felt that she would not have any extra feelings for Li Jinxing. After all, he was raising a wolfdog. Who would fall in love with a "beast"?
But now, she was a little doubtful about her self-control. Gu Wanqiu was feeling a strange feeling in her heart. This feeling came suddenly, so strange, yet so strong that it could not be ignored. Gu Wanqiu was very repulsed. After Li Jinxing tied her shoelaces, she stood up and wanted to leave.
At this moment, coincidentally, the phone made a sound. Gu Wanqiu took out her phone and was slightly startled when she saw the contact on it. The hand holding the phone involuntarily exerted force. She clicked the call button and heard a man's gentle voice: "Qiuqiu, I'm back..."
Gu Wanqiu did not deliberately avoid Li Jinxing when answering the phone, so Li Jinxing clearly saw the contact person above.
——Gong Qing
Li Jinxing had seen this man's name on Gu Wanqiu's mobile phone, computer, and almost all of her social media apps.
Li Jinxing had heard of him but had never seen him. Butler Wang said that Gong Qing was a friend of Gu Wanqiu. They had known each other since they were very young. Later, when Gong Qing was ten years old, he went abroad and they lost contact.
Li Jinxing suddenly felt a severe pain in his back. The pain seemed to penetrate his chest and even affected his heart.
Gu Wanqiu answered the phone and turned away without even looking at Li Jinxing.
Gu Wanqiu always asked him to learn to love her, what is cute.
He was confused about the word love, thinking it was sex, a kiss, every time she called his name, the smile on her face, domineering, unreasonable, or jealous and possessive. But this time, Li Jinxing suddenly understood that love was a hand that wanted to touch but then withdrew.
He stretched out his hand, wanting to grab Gu Wanqiu. For eight years, it had always been him and Gu Wanqiu, a master-servant relationship, a master and a dog. It seemed distant but close. No one understood Gu Wanqiu better than him, and no one would come between them. After all, who would be as "loyal" as him?
But now, his firm confidence was broken, and Li Jinxing became less confident. He always felt that Gu Wanqiu would never come back after she went to see Gong Qing.
Li Jinxing wanted to hold Gu Wanqiu back, and thought of all kinds of topics and ways to keep her, but he rejected them one by one because he was not qualified.
He brought this emotion to the court and hit the boy who had thrown the ball out of the court and almost hit Gu Wanqiu with the basketball.
Li Jinxing was like a mad lion, and eventually he forced his opponent into a corner, and the two clashed on the court.
"Do you know how to play ball? You've hit me with the ball several times!"
"So, can you play basketball? Throw the ball out of the court?"
The boy knew he was in the wrong, but it was all in the past. Moreover, he had been beaten so many times by Li Jinxing without saying a word, letting him vent his anger. But it was not over yet. The boy opposite him also got angry and mocked him, "So you want to avenge your mistress? What? You don't like Gu Wanqiu, do you? But will Gu Wanqiu like you? Don't think that you can get the upper hand just because you are close to her. In our eyes, you are just a dog beside her. Even if you save her life, she won't even look at you..."
"Bang——" Li Jinxing's eyes were sinister. He broke free from the shackles, rushed forward and punched the man hard in the face.
Until the teacher came to stop them, took the two to the office for a lecture and criticism, and asked them to write a self-criticism and hand it in before school was over.
It would be fine to write a self-criticism casually as long as the attitude is correct, but Li Jinxing held the pen but couldn't write a single word.
He just passed by the classroom and looked around, but didn't see Gu Wanqiu.
Halfway through writing, his cell phone rang. Li Jinxing quickly opened it. It was a text message from Gu Wanqiu. She had something to do and had to leave first. She asked him to go back by himself after school in the afternoon. If he had time, she could ask about some sterilization pills for men.
It seems that no matter whether Gu Chaodong is Gu Wanqiu's biological father or whether he will remarry, Gu Wanqiu is determined to sterilize her father with drugs.
Li Jinxing was absent-minded. After writing the self-criticism, he handed it to the head teacher and was inevitably criticized again. The college entrance examination was approaching, but he still had the mind to fight. Wasn't he afraid of being punished?
If it weren't for Li Jinxing's good behavior and excellent academic performance, the head teacher would never have just collected a letter of apology.
Li Jinxing called the driver and told him not to come to the school to pick him up. After leaving the school, Li Jinxing had his own way and was able to find medicine for male sterilization. There was no medicine that would work immediately and it needed to be taken for a long time to achieve sterilization.
Li Jinxing threw the medicine into his schoolbag and went to the hospital to ask about the DNA test results. He had to wait for another two days to get the results, so there was no need to rush.
After returning to the Gu family, Housekeeper Wang saw that only Li Jinxing came back: "Why did you come back alone? Where is the young lady?"
Gu Wanqiu hadn't come home yet? Li Jinxing thought of the phone call, clenched his fists at his side, and replied to Butler Wang with a stiff expression: "Gong Qing is back."
