Chapter 168 I don’t understand!

After returning home, Lin Du washed up but was still not around to see Gu Yanchi.

He knew he was still angry, and he sighed and hugged himself, wondering if he should explain it again.

After waiting for a long time with no response, Lin Du got up and walked to the study door. He knocked but no one answered.

Lin Du returned to his room feeling disappointed again. He was not sleepy at all.

He walked to the window, wanting to look at the stars, but instead saw that lonely figure.

Gu Xinchi stood in front of Gu Xingxing with his head slightly lowered.

His back looked particularly lonely in the moonlight, as if the whole world had abandoned him.

Lin Du's heart skipped a beat, and he leaned against the window, unable to bear to watch any longer.

He sat back on the bed with difficulty, complicated emotions lingering in his mind.

He always felt that Gu Xichi was standing in front of Gu Xingxing to express his grievances.

And the creator of grievances is yourself.

Lin Du curled up and hugged himself. We had clearly agreed to just pretend to love each other, so why did his heart still hurt so much?

Gu Yinchi calmed down and returned to his room. He walked lightly for fear of disturbing Lin Du.

Not knowing how to face Gu Yanchi, Lin Du pinched his fingers and pretended to fall asleep.

Gu Yanchi leaned over and kissed his forehead, whispering softly: "I love you, Lin Du."

Lin Du endured it, thankful that the darkness hid his red eyes.

After washing up, Gu Niechi lay down beside Lin Du and stroked his cheek lightly with his fingers.

She gently held him in her arms and let out a light sigh, as if she was relieved but also helpless.

He patted Lin Du out of habit, each pat being incredibly gentle.

Lin Du endured it, but ultimately he could not resist the torment in his heart.

He didn't want to hurt Gu Xichi, but today he could clearly see the grievance and forbearance in his eyes.

Grabbing Gu Ningchi's hand that was patting him gently, Lin Du pulled it to his chest and hugged it.

Gu Xinchi's hand clearly paused, and he dared not breathe, for fear of disturbing Lin Du who was sleeping.

In fact, he was afraid that once Lin Du woke up, he would take his hand away and look at him defensively.

Feeling Gu Yinchi's stiffness, Lin Du bit his lip. He suddenly turned around and dived into Gu Yinchi's arms, curling himself up in his arms with a sense of familiarity.

Gu Yanchi's body was tense, his pupils tightened involuntarily, and his hands were stiff in the air, not moving.

Only when the person in my arms calmed down did I dare to lower my arms and hold him in my arms.

Gu Yanchi couldn't help but curl up his lips. He used a little more strength, hugged Lin Du greedily, and whispered softly in his ear: "Play with me to death."

Lin Du endured it, he was thinking that since he was so proactive in showing his goodwill, Gu Yanchi should be able to sense it.

Pretending to sleep was so painful that Lin Du always wanted to move.

Gu Nichi frowned slightly: "Lin Du, are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

Lin Du was startled and suddenly stopped moving.

Gu Niechi lowered his head to his level face and kissed his forehead softly: "Did you have a nightmare?"

Lin Du wanted to remain silent and pretend to be asleep, but his mouth was one step faster than his brain: "No."

Gu Xinchi lifted his chin and raised the corner of his mouth: "You are not asleep?"

Lin Du nodded honestly.

An indescribable excitement swept through Gu Nichi's heart. When he was sober, he held his own hand and snuggled into his own arms.

Is he forgiving me or making up for what happened today?

Gu Xinchi was trying hard to calm down, but Lin Du thought he was still sad.

He couldn't help but wonder if he had expressed himself too tactfully.

After thinking and struggling for a long time, Lin Du reached out and held Gu Xichi's face, groping in the dark and kissed the corner of his mouth.

Gu Yinchi's body shook, and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, followed by an unconcealable shock, as if the blood in his body had instantly solidified.

Tears welled up in his eyes, and he pulled Lin Du's hand to his chest, saying aggrievedly, "Lin Du, I don't understand."

Lin Du opened his mouth slightly, he didn't understand what Gu Xinchi meant.

Seeing that Lin Du had no reaction, Gu Jinchi covered Lin Du's eyes and turned on the bedside lamp.

His hand slowly dropped, Lin Du lowered his eyes, his face slightly red.

"Lin Du, I don't understand!" Gu Yanchi choked up. What on earth did he mean by kissing her? Was it forgiveness or compensation?

Lin Du bit his lip. He was already cute. Now he slightly frowned and looked so adorable as he was thinking seriously.

"I don't understand what you are saying." Lin Du looked at Gu Xinchi sincerely, "What don't you understand?"

"Why did you kiss me?" Gu Yinchi held Lin Du's hand, fearing that he would run away after asking this question.

Lin Du was stunned. How should he answer this question?

"I..." Lin Du bit his lip, "Is it not possible to kiss me?"

"No..." Gu Nichi explained in a panic, "Okay, I like you to kiss me, but Lin Du, I don't understand why you kiss me?"

"Is he forgiving me, or... or is he making up for what happened today?"

Lin Du lowered his head and said nothing, but in fact, it was both.

But the word "forgiveness" doesn't quite fit him. He can't hate him, but he can't give his heart to him completely again.

So, how to answer him?

If you love according to the pretense you set, then what you should say is forgiveness.

"Lin Du, please answer me, this is very important to me." Gu Nichi begged.

Whenever he felt nervous and helpless, Lin Du always tried to relieve the tension by pinching his fingers.

But his hand was now firmly pressed on his chest by Gu Xinchi.

"I don't hate you, so I can't say forgiveness."

Gu Yanchi's panic was like a whirlpool in the darkness, ruthlessly swallowing up everything he said: "Lin Du, I don't understand, please explain it more clearly."

Lin Du raised his eyes in disbelief. Was what he said difficult to understand?

"I said I don't hate you."

"And then?" Gu Yinchi asked, his eyes following Lin Du's closely, afraid of missing any information.

Then? Lin Du frowned. Actually, there was no then.

But obviously he didn't say what Gu Xinchi wanted to hear. But it was so difficult to say that he loved him. Although he had always loved him, after going through so much, he really couldn't say it in front of him.

Seeing Lin Du in a struggle, Gu Yanchi suddenly came to his senses. He hugged Lin Du with heartache: "I'm sorry, Lin Du, I was too greedy."

"I should be content that you don't hate me, but I actually tried to force you to say you love me. I'm such a bastard."

Gu Yanchi choked with sobs, lost and then found, just like the dawn after a long night. The joy and emotion were like the sweet dew after a long drought, filling the soul with brilliant sunshine.

He knew that he had not yet completely gained Lin Du's forgiveness, so he said this more to comfort himself.

But it doesn’t matter, progress means there is hope.

He should feel lucky.
