Chapter 176 We can break up peacefully
She added casually, "But speaking of which, this dagger is indeed a treasure. Where did you get it? Can you help me get one too?"
She didn't advocate resolving everything with force, but some people were clearly not suited to verbal communication. Otherwise, she wouldn't have studied hard, farmed diligently, and even taken time out to learn the expensive art of self-defense Sanda in her previous life.
The world today was more complex than in her past life. Her meager self-defense skills, while useful, were limited. If she could always have a suitable weapon handy, she might be able to make a difference in the next similar situation.
She just mentioned it casually, but after hearing it, Tu Subo's eyes quietly became deep.
He took a deep breath, and as if trying to convince himself, he gently released it. He placed one hand on Gu Yuexuan's shoulder, gently but firmly turned her around, and stared face to face at the elusive glint in her eyes.
He smoothly handed the dagger back to her hand.
"This already belongs to you."
"If you don't want me to talk too much, then protect yourself well so as not to give me the opportunity to say anything unnecessary."
As Tu Subo finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the door, but just as he was about to step over the threshold, his steps suddenly stopped. He turned around, his eyes softly falling on Gu Yuexuan, and asked softly, "Xuanxuan, do you long to fly?"
In Gu Yuexuan's past cognition, human weight and the gravity under her feet seemed to have doomed humans to be unable to fly freely. However, since meeting Tu Subo, her cognition has been ruthlessly overturned.
It turns out that even without wings and without relying on gravity, people can still soar into the sky.
However, this kind of flying cannot reach the top of the sky.
Tu Subo skillfully held the plow and walked steadily along the ridge, his bare feet stepping on the gradually softening soil. He said, "It may be a little late to start learning now, but it's not impossible."
He did not expect Gu Yuexuan to be completely open with him in everything, but he hoped to add an important weight to her journey of self-protection.
He simply hoped that she could ensure his absolute safety even if he was not by her side.
Gu Yuexuan gently flicked the dirt in her palm, raised her head, and said nonchalantly, "So should I study with Tu Suminyang and the others?"
"What are you learning with them?"
Tu Subo smiled and asked back, then explained, "They are young and in their prime for fighting, but you've already missed that period. Being with them would only be a waste of time."
"Give me some time to prepare. When the time is right, I will teach you myself."
The methods he learned may not be applicable to Gu Yuexuan, but given the limited resources he can mobilize at present, adequate preparation is essential.
Gu Yuexuan pondered for a moment, then straightened up, stretched, and said with emotion, "So, I realize I have so much to learn."
In addition to the complicated daily tasks, evening reading and night review, there is now another item added - learning how to jump lightly and run fast.
She is undoubtedly the busiest person in this house.
Tu Subo suddenly seemed to remember something, and his movements paused slightly. He then leaned over to straighten the rope in his hand that was almost tangled, and said in a calm tone, "Do you feel exhausted?"
"Fine."
Gu Yuexuan responded uneasily, her voice tinged with indifference, "Grandfather once said that learning is boundless. This opportunity is truly rare, so it seems that acquiring more knowledge might not be a bad thing."
At least, considering the original owner's humble status as a concubine's daughter, if it weren't for the trick of fate that made her accidentally marry Tu Subo, and if it weren't for the Tu Su family encountering an unexpected disaster, she would have been just an insignificant speck of dust among the many powerful people, and no one would have been willing to teach her everything.
Since there is an opportunity, why not seize it?
Suddenly, Gu Yuexuan remembered Yu's mumblings along the way a few days ago, and a hint of mischievous teasing flashed in her eyes.
She casually picked up a ball of mud and threw it lightly at Tu Subo's feet. The corners of her mouth turned up and she smiled, "Do you know what Second Aunt said to me when we came back that day?"
Tu Subo didn't even raise his head and asked casually, "What?"
"She said she wanted to challenge her second uncle."
Tu Subo frowned slightly, turned around, and looked at him with a hint of surprise: "Challenge?"
"Yes, a challenge."
Gu Yuexuan's face showed a mixture of teasing and emotion. She smacked her lips and shook her head, saying, "Second Uncle has really been forced into a corner by Second Aunt this time, but think about it, this is also the way of the world."
Lips and teeth are closely connected, and occasionally they will accidentally collide. Disagreements and disputes between couples are commonplace and are nothing big.
But Tu Suye acted on a whim, was stubborn and took advantage of his own will to push people into a desperate situation, which is a completely different matter.
Gu Yuexuan didn't care how shocking such an idea might be in the current environment. After a pause, she said, "Second Aunt also told me that you are completely different from Second Uncle, so I don't have to worry. If you really want to use violence against me, no matter how much I secretly plan, it will be useless. Ordinary people can't withstand your punches at all."
"But then again, Tu Subo, if we really were to the point of being irreconcilable, would you use your strength advantage and the power of your attack to kill me?"
People's hearts are unpredictable, and due to past experiences, Gu Yuexuan has never truly trusted anyone.
Even relatives who are connected by blood may become disunited, let alone a husband-wife relationship that is maintained solely by the love between a man and a woman?
Her questions were casual and natural, sounding like a joke. Even if she didn't get the expected answer, she wouldn't feel too much regret.
However, in the moment of relative silence, Tu Subo's eyes gradually became deeper.
He stared at Gu Yuexuan, his throat trembling slightly: "Do you think I will punch you?"
Gu Yuexuan wanted to respond lightly with a "How is that possible", but before she could say anything, an indescribable hesitation suddenly wrapped around the tip of her tongue.
She always had an indelible doubt about human nature.
Their eyes met, and Gu Yuexuan had no choice but to be honest under Tu Subo's sharp gaze.
She sighed lightly and confessed, "To be honest, I have no idea what's going on."
After all, before Tu Suye almost pushed Second Aunt into despair, who could have expected that he actually hid such a despicable nature?
And her relationship with Tu Subo...
Gu Yuexuan sighed weakly, her tone tinged with sadness. "However, let's make things clear first. If one day you decide that I'm no longer worthy of you, or that it's difficult for us to continue spending time together, there's actually no need to go to great lengths."
"You can be blunt."
She stared sincerely at Tu Subo's tense jaw and said firmly, "We can break up peacefully. I will never pester you. It's just..."
"Do you feel that there is something about me that makes you dissatisfied or fearful?"
Tu Subo suddenly interrupted her and stared at her with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to use these eyes to explore the deepest worries hidden deep in her heart.
