Chapter 207 You said you like me

Since that night when Nianxi "spoke the truth after drinking", Gu Ci finally understood what the bond between Nianxi and Pei Jian was.

He is a person who is very sensitive to emotions and he cares about everything about Nianxi.

Therefore, from a very early stage, he realized that there was something unusual about Nianxi and Pei Jian.

When does it start?

It was probably the first time they met. Pei Jian stared at Nian Xi for such a long time, and Qin Lang was not the only one who noticed it.

He saw it too.

But he pretended not to know.

He likes that girl too much.

He mistook Pei Jian's misbehavior as a man's admiration for a beautiful woman. He refused to think about it and forgave his good friend's rudeness.

Then came the window that was never opened during the Dragon Boat Festival.

He saw the earrings at the corner of the wall, the ones that had once fallen into Pei Jian's arms.

It was hard to describe the frustration he felt at that moment. He tentatively asked Nian'er if she was satisfied with the result, but Nianxi avoided the question.

She refused to tell him about his good brother's obsession with her.

Once again he pretended to know nothing.

It wasn't until the night of Chinese Valentine's Day that Pei Jian pulled Nian Xi into an alley and their Mohelos fell to the ground. At that moment, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and made things clear.

So from the very beginning, he knew that Pei Jian coveted Nian Xi.

What made him even more concerned and puzzled was Nian Xi's repeated indulgence and protection of Pei Jian.

She never told him about Pei Jian.

Is it because you don't trust him enough?

Still not into it?

I don't know.

Love is not so equal. He doesn't mind giving more. He is just worried that in the end, he won't be able to impress the girl.

After listening to Nianxi's "dream", he felt relieved.

Although it is unbelievable, it all seems reasonable when it comes to things that happened in the past.

Do you mind?

Of course not.

He considers himself very lucky.

Appearing in front of him when she needed him most, at just the right time.

Everything just happened naturally.

Just now, he saw Nian Xi and Pei Jian standing together and talking and laughing, so tacitly in tune with each other, and he suddenly felt inexplicably panicked in his heart.

Can one year compare to a lifetime?

They must have had a lot of good times.

"What are you thinking about?"

In the carriage, Nian Xi asked.

Gu Ci shook his head and said, "I was delayed by something just now. I am a little sorry that I didn't see Mr. Wen's speech."

Pei Jian also called her Mr. Wen.

Nian Xi was a little stunned, then smiled and said, "I was so nervous, my palms were full of sweat, luckily you didn't come."

Gu Ci asked, "Why?"

Nian Xi: "Where is my glorious image? What if I forget the words I memorized? Wouldn't that make me look bad in front of you?"

Gu Ci laughed, "You are never ugly."

He was talking when he suddenly paused. Nian Xi noticed it immediately and asked, "What do you mean by this pause? That's when I was embarrassed. Gu Xiaoliu, please make your words clear."

When it comes to beauty, even the gentlest girl will show her explosive side.

Gu Ci pretended to recall, "That night you came down from the Jueyue Building, your face was dirty and you had been crying, leaving two black and white watermarks. I didn't dare to recognize you at first."

Nian Xi could not have expected that Gu Ci would actually dare to say that, and even talk about it in such detail. Doesn't the girl have any dignity?

She immediately retorted, "Look at how dark you are, and yet you are wearing a moon-white robe. Is moon-white suitable for a military commander?"

Gu Ci was angry, "You always said that I was as beautiful as a jade tree in the wind, and I look the most handsome and elegant in this color!"

Nian Xi sneered, "Then you still said that I am as beautiful as a flower."

The two bickered like children and glared at each other. After a few breaths, they laughed out loud at the same time.

I haven't felt so happy and relaxed for a long time. I quickly smoothed over the person who had angered me:

"The eunuch's costume is too big for you, making you look even more fragile and slender, and you look lovable, like a dirty little kitten. You are no longer ugly."

Dirty cat?

very good.

Nian Xi also laughed, "You really are not suitable to wear moon white now."

Remarks: ...

After laughing, Gu Ci stared at her face and suddenly said, "No matter who you meet or who you are with, you will live a good life, even if you are alone."

Nian Xi was stunned by his words.

I don't even understand the intention behind his words.

"Nian'er, did the girl in your dream meet the man who came to Qushui in her previous life?"

Nian Xi raised her eyes to look at him and shook her head slowly, "No, he went to the North, and they never met until she died."

No wonder she had been obsessed with the matter in the northern border before, and no wonder Pei Jian had reminded him to pay attention to the Crown Prince of Beiliang a long time ago.

"So what was his ending in that life?"

Nian Xi's voice was harsh, "I am alone in the northern border, unable to return to the capital."

Sumire is like a mustard seed, and the universe is like a reed.

Who can tell for sure that Gu Ci, who is guarding the northern border alone, does not exist in another Sumi?

In just a moment, Gu Ci felt clearly that he seemed to have lived his whole life, that long life of loneliness and murder accompanied by the bloody and residual sun.

"Nian'er, it's great to meet you."

Gu Ci's eyes were gentle, "If I wasn't there, you would have met someone very suitable."

But I am different.

Without you, the rest of my life will be empty, and everything in the world will be full of regrets.

Therefore, whether it is for use or for healing, Gu will never leave.

He will always wait tenderly and tolerantly.

Don't force it, don't be afraid.

He will always be waiting for her where she came from.

The power of choice has always been in her hands.

Love or hate, he respects.

Nian Xi felt that his gaze was like the calm surface of the sea. No matter how turbulent it was inside, all that was revealed was the gentle waves lapping at her feet. All that surging love was properly kept by him. All she felt was his calm tenderness.

Nian Xi recalled that when they were getting on the carriage just now, he wanted to help her, approached her but then avoided her. At that moment, Nian Xi truly felt this man's love and hesitation because of her.

So she smiled and said softly, "Do you remember what I said to you when I was drunk that night?"

"……remember."

"What's there?"

"You said the stars were bright, the moon was round, and the flowers in the garden were in full bloom."

Nian Xi asked, "What else?"

Gu hesitated, "You said you like me."

"That's sober talk."

She tilted her head back, moved closer, and kissed him on the lips.
