Lu Zheng looked down at Gu Xin's swaying little arms. Okay, he falls for this.
Whether it's Da Xin'er or Xiao Xin'er, they both like to hold onto his clothes and shake them, and he has no power to resist.
"Alright, I'll tell you. But you have to answer one question for me," Lu Zheng sighed.
"Huh?" Gu Xin stopped her arm, stood up obediently, and looked up at Lu Zheng.
Sunlight shone on her face, and the wind blew the wisps of hair on her forehead, making her look absolutely beautiful.
"Brother Yuanyuan, if you keep delaying, just squat down and talk to me. It's tiring for me to keep my head up like this," Gu Xin complained, shaking her neck from side to side.
"Ahem." Lu Zheng looked up at the sky awkwardly, then bent down slightly, placed his hands on his knees, and looked Gu Xin in the eye. He asked seriously, "Tell me, if I, Li Muyan, Xue Qianyu, Meng Meng, Huo Junhao and I fell into the river together, who would you save?"
Gu Xin: "!"
Lu Zheng felt a little guilty under Gu Xin's big, bright eyes staring at him, and looked around.
Gu Xin sighed, "Brother Yuanyuan, why are you even more troublesome than my dad!"
Lu Zheng: "?"
How did this involve my second uncle?
Gu Xin looked at him seriously: "When we met Uncle Ye, I was worried about you, and my dad asked me, 'He disappeared with you, who should I look for?' How could you all disappear together? You're all grown up, how could you disappear? If I go looking for you, I'll probably get lost myself. Isn't that a stupid question? Of all the people you mentioned, who can't swim? They all can, but I can't! You're actually asking me, someone who can't swim, to save a bunch of grown men who can swim?"
Lu Zheng almost lost his balance and leaned forward.
He blinked and looked at Gu Xin.
Gu Xin gave her a look that said, "You're bullying me."
Lu Zheng felt wronged. It had happened before. He asked Gu Xin if he and Huo Junhao fell into the water, and she would save whom. Gu Xin gave the same answer.
Refusing is an avoidance of the issue: "Xinxin, what if we can't swim?"
Gu Xin shook her head: "I won't answer such hypothetical questions. My sister said that if the hypothesis is known to be false, there's no point in overthinking it, wasting time and life!"
After saying that, she smiled again: "Brother Yuanyuan, I know you want to ask me if I care about you the most. Right! Of course I care about you the most! I've known you the longest, and you're the best to me! You're my best brother! I treat you like Sister Huihui and my older sister!"
The first part of his words brought Lu Zheng back to life, but the second part killed him.
Forget it, let's bring her back to life. At least she'll have a place, right? Xin Xin is still young, let's take it slow.
Lu Zheng let out a breath and said, "After hearing what Grandma said just now, I remembered that I had heard of this kind of poison before. It is forbidden in our Great Zhou, but some noble families have people who can prepare it. However, in the Li family, apart from Li Muyan's maternal grandparents who came from the capital, there are no outsiders in their family. It is certain that his maternal grandparents would not harm him. Of course, it is also possible that he was not poisoned by the kind of poison that Grandma mentioned, so I didn't say anything just now, I was just thinking about it myself."
Upon hearing this, for some reason, the first person that flashed into Gu Xin's mind was Li Shan.
But she also thought it was impossible. Li Shan was even younger than her, how could she possibly harm her own cousin?
