Chapter 705 The Pleasure of Love After leaving the hot pot restaurant, Gu Luo held Lu Xuexue's hand and wandered aimlessly through the streets of Beijing without taking a taxi or setting a destination.
A cold wind brushed against their cheeks, swirling up the fallen leaves on the ground, but the place where their palms touched remained warm and cozy.
Although the weather was cold, my heart was filled with a sense of comfort, relaxation, and joy.
This must be the magic of love—as long as you can walk side by side with your beloved, even without a clear direction, even if you are just strolling aimlessly, you can feel happiness overflowing in your heart.
Gu Luo gently stroked Lu Xuexue's soft hand, his movements tender. Lu Xuexue leaned slightly towards him, tilting her head occasionally as she curiously observed the scenery along the way.
All I can say is that the capital is the capital, more developed than Caizhou, and with more historical charm.
The old locust tree by the roadside has gnarled and twisted branches, with scattered colored lights hanging from its branches. When the wind blows, they sway incessantly, creating a unique charm.
The two walked hand in hand, occasionally exchanging a few words in hushed tones, sharing the scenery they saw with each other, their steps light and unhurried.
Passersby along the way would always unconsciously look at Lu Xuexue, their eyes lingering on her for a long time.
There was no way around it; the little girl was just too dazzling—her light-colored winter clothes made her skin look even whiter than snow, her long hair gently draped over her shoulders, her eyebrows curved, her temperament pure and beautiful, and she exuded a soft and cuddly charm, like a fragile porcelain doll, making people unable to help but feel a protective instinct.
Even though Gu Luo was wearing sunglasses, a mask, and a hat, covering most of his face, he still attracted a lot of attention.
Firstly, Lu Xuexue beside him was too outstanding, making people curious about what kind of boy could match her; secondly, his temperament was too unique, with an upright posture and a composed gait. Even if you couldn't see his true face, you could feel his outstanding and steady demeanor, which attracted many girls passing by to glance at him.
Gu Luo noticed the gazes around him, but instead of being bothered, a secret sense of pride welled up inside him. He turned his head, looked at the increasingly beautiful Lu Xuexue beside him, and couldn't help but chuckle softly.
“My Snowball is so attractive. Look, everyone’s eyes are practically glued to you the whole way.”
No matter how many times he saw the envious and jealous looks other boys gave Lu Xuexue, he would feel exceptionally good—such a wonderful girl was his girlfriend.
"Hehe." Lu Xuexue became embarrassed by his words, a faint blush rising on her cheeks. She snuggled closer to him, her small hand unconsciously tightening its grip on his, and she murmured softly:
"It's not that exaggerated..."
She denied it verbally, but the sweetness in her eyes was undeniable, like a pool of sweet honey.
The two continued walking, passing through a narrow alleyway adorned with lanterns. Suddenly, Lu Xuexue looked up at Gu Luo's profile and asked softly:
"Brother Gu Luo, is your next novel written for Sister Ning?"
The new book is about the entertainment industry, and Luo Ningning happens to be in the entertainment industry. She has a vague idea in her heart, but she still wants to confirm it with her own voice.
"Yes." Gu Luo didn't hesitate at all. He turned his head, met her clear gaze, and nodded seriously.
Even though she had already anticipated it, upon hearing this affirmative answer, Lu Xuexue couldn't help but sigh softly, her tone tinged with genuine envy:
"I really envy Sister Ning..."
To help Sister Ning gain a foothold in the entertainment industry and develop her career, Brother Gu Luo actually came up with such a bold plan and put in so much effort. His dedication is truly touching.
He truly is my man.
Gu Luo gently squeezed her small hand, his voice softening even more:
"It's not easy for Ningbao."
As she spoke, a hint of pity appeared in her eyes: "She wants to achieve something in her field, and I will definitely help her if I can, and the same goes for you."
“Mmm…” Lu Xuexue nodded obediently. She understood Gu Luo’s meaning and also understood Luo Ningning’s difficulties.
After a few seconds of silence, he raised his head again, a sharp insight in his eyes, and said softly:
“Brother Gu Luo, I feel like you’re a little different.”
She paused, carefully organizing her thoughts:
"You used to be great, but you were always a bit low-key... and seemed rather passive in everything you did. But now it's different—you openly introduce me to others as your girlfriend, you showcase your talents without reservation, and you do all these things for us..."
Lu Xuexue could clearly sense Gu Luo's transformation, the change from "passively accepting" to "actively taking responsibility".
"Brother Gu Luo, are you worried about the future?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Luo stopped and turned around to look at Lu Xuexue intently.
He raised his hand and gently removed his sunglasses and mask, revealing his handsome face. His eyes were unusually solemn, and his tone was more serious than ever before.
"Yes, I am worried about the future, but more than that, I want to become more capable."
He reached out and gently stroked Lu Xuexue's cheek, his fingertips warm:
"I want to have enough ability to protect you all, to give each of you a safe and secure outcome, so that you don't have to worry about anything anymore and can stay by my side with peace of mind."
The winter wind was still slightly chilly, but Lu Xuexue's heart was instantly filled with a burning warmth.
Looking into Gu Luo's earnest eyes and feeling the warmth of his palm, her eyes reddened slightly, but she smiled and nodded firmly. She stood on tiptoe and gently kissed his chin, her voice soft yet resolute:
"I believe you, Brother Gu Luo."
Feeling the lingering moisture on her chin, Gu Luo's eyes softened with a gentle smile as he reached out and pulled her tightly into his arms.
A gentle breeze swept by, ruffling their hair and stretching their embracing figures into a long silhouette, filled with the sweetness of their mutual embrace.
