Chapter 126 Even the kids like him
What the girl didn't know was that the man rarely smoked; he would only light one up when he was feeling irritable or depressed.
However, ever since the girl moved into the Jinshan Villa, the man has stopped smoking, mainly because he was afraid that his body odor would bother her and make her uncomfortable.
Gu Ji sat in the car for a minute, her eyes filled with struggle. In fact, she knew why Uncle Dan was standing outside the car smoking; it was simply because he had sensed her distance.
But she really couldn't face him with a smile like before. Just thinking that he already had someone he liked made her subconsciously want to avoid him.
She was afraid she wouldn't be able to control herself and tell the man she liked him.
Dan Anwen's lonely figure remained with his back to the car window, his narrow eyes filled with confusion; he couldn't fathom the child's thoughts.
Does she have a boy she likes?
So I avoided him this morning, but...
The man closed his eyes slightly, the turbulent emotions in his eyes hidden by his eyelids.
"Uncle Dan, let's go home." After struggling with his thoughts in the car, Gu Ji decided to get out.
Dan Anwen lifted his eyelids, his nostrils twitched slightly, and his deep gaze met the girl's clear eyes. His voice was low and deep, "Little girl, why did you avoid my hand this morning?"
After standing outside in the cold wind for a few minutes, the man suddenly realized, "Why not just ask?"
Since we can't figure it out, the best way is to ask. No matter what the reason is, only by knowing can we solve the problem better, right?
Gu Ji bit her lower lip lightly, a glint of light flashing in her clear eyes, but she dared not answer.
Are you saying I'm heartbroken because I heard you have someone you like?
"I...I just dodged it by accident," Gu Ji stammered.
After saying that, she was about to turn around and go back to the car, but Dan Anwen grabbed her slender wrist and pulled her back.
The man leaned down slightly, placed his hands on the girl's shoulders, and stared intently into her eyes with his deep, warm gaze. He said in a deep, magnetic voice, "Look me in the eyes and say it again."
The girl's clear eyes looked into the man's unfathomable eyes, her lips moved slightly, but she couldn't utter the words she had just said for a long time.
She wasn't good at lying, especially when a man was staring at her. As she thought about it, tears welled up in her eyes.
The man sighed deeply in his heart. He wasn't even angry yet, but she was already feeling wronged.
The man gently wiped the girl's slightly reddened eyes and said softly, "Little girl, we are family. We should be honest with each other. Is it because I haven't done enough that you're ignoring me?"
As he spoke, the man kept his eyes fixed on the girl's reaction.
Gu Ji shook her head slightly, silently thinking to herself: It's not because she did a bad job, it's because she did too well, so well that she's trapped in it and can't save herself.
When Dan An heard her shaking her head with tears in her eyes, he felt a little relieved. It was good that it wasn't because he hadn't done a good enough job.
"Then would you tell me why you're distancing yourself from me?" The man's deep, magnetic voice carried a low, coaxing tone as his large, well-defined hands held the girl's head, gently stroking her hair.
The girl stared at him quietly for a while, her eyes misty with tears, obscuring his face. Her voice choked with emotion, "I...I heard you say yesterday that you have someone you like."
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head, not daring to look into the man's clear eyes again.
Hot tears dripped from her eyes, falling straight to the ground and instantly disappearing into the black night sky.
Dan An was taken aback by what he heard, and looked at the girl with her head down in surprise, not reacting for a moment.
The man pondered the girl's words carefully. Was she distancing herself from him because she heard him say that he had someone he liked?
Could it be...?
A thought flashed through the man's mind, and his fingers trembled slightly, as if he couldn't believe what he was hearing.
Is it because children like him too?
He dared not think about the answer in detail.
Seeing that the man hadn't reacted for a long time, Gu Ji, with her head hanging low, thought he couldn't accept her feelings. She took a deep breath, held back the tears in her eyes, and her nostrils twitched slightly.
Just as I was wondering whether I should go back to the car, I heard a man's hoarse, deep voice from above, "Does that little kid know who I like?"
Hearing the doting tone in the man's voice, the girl's nose, which had been stinging with tears, couldn't hold back any longer. Large tears welled up in her eyes, staining her cheeks and making her redden her eyes, which even hurt slightly.
She didn't dare to think about the problem at all; her heart would inexplicably ache whenever it came up.
Feeling the child's hot tears fall onto his palm, the man panicked instantly and used some force to lift her delicate chin.
Dan Anwen gently held the girl's chin with her slender fingers, bent down to wipe away the tears streaming down her face, and softly comforted her, "Little girl, don't cry, okay? It hurts my heart."
Gu Ji looked at the man with teary eyes. The wet pupils made him feel a sudden pain in his heart. He had clearly promised in his heart that he would not let the child cry, but he broke his promise.
"Won't you think I'm disgusting because I like you?" Gu Ji pouted and said, "But I don't know why I like you, and I didn't know you already have someone you like."
As she spoke, the tears that the man had just managed to wipe away started flowing down her cheeks again.
Having made a start, things became much easier. Gu Ji said with a choked voice, "I'm sorry, Uncle Dan, I really didn't mean to like you. If you find it disgusting, I... I will leave."
Seeing that the man looked down and didn't react, Gu Ji became anxious. "Really, I won't appear in your world anymore. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."
She had never liked anyone, but she knew that if the person she liked already had a girl he liked, then she should wisely stay away from his world.
Dan Anwen stared intently at the girl who kept apologizing, his deep, dark eyes fixed on her. He sighed inwardly. It seemed that unless he took some concrete action, the little girl wouldn't quiet down and listen to him.
Thinking of this, the man bent down and his pale, warm lips unexpectedly touched the girl's smooth forehead.
Moonlight streamed down the man's angular face, which was filled with doting affection.
The warm touch on her forehead made the girl stiffen. She swallowed the words "I'm sorry" and blinked her watery almond eyes helplessly, her hands tightly gripping the hem of her school uniform.
A deep, tender, and cloying male voice came from above, "Little one, do you know who I like now?"
Gu Ji's dry lips twitched slightly, but he couldn't speak for a long time. All his words were stuck in his throat by this gentle kiss.
She could clearly feel the man's warm breath spraying onto her hair, slowly seeping into her scalp, and she could even clearly hear the man's strong heartbeat.
The girl's cheeks flushed pink, her tear-streaked eyes were tinged with crimson, and her fair earlobes were so red they looked like they could bleed.
Dan Anwen gently pulled away from the girl's forehead, lifted her round and delicate chin, looked tenderly into her eyes, and said softly, "Little girl, do you understand my feelings now?"
Seeing the girl standing there stunned and unresponsive, the man lazily curled his sexy lips and asked in a low, magnetic voice, full of seduction, "If you still don't understand, would you like me to tell you again?"
After saying that, he was about to bend down and repeat the action he had just performed.
Gu Ji looked at the broad body slowly pressing down in front of her, then suddenly came to her senses. Her slender, porcelain-white hands pressed against the man's chest, and she said in a muffled voice, "I know, I know."
The more the girl spoke, the softer her voice became, until the man couldn't even hear the last few words.
Dan Anwen looked at the petite girl in front of his chest and chuckled softly, "I'm really glad that you like me too."
Speaking of this, Gu Ji wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. After all that, it turned out that Uncle Dan liked her.
Gu Ji pursed his lips and remained silent, mainly because he didn't know what to say.
It seems like nothing I say would be appropriate.
Seeing the little girl shyly hanging her head, Dan Anwen gently ruffled her hair. "How could I feel disgusted if the little girl likes me? I'm overjoyed, so there's no need to apologize."
The man's gentle words seemed to reassure the girl, and Gu Ji raised her head slightly to say, "I thought you already had someone you liked, so..."
She didn't finish her sentence, but the man understood what she meant.
On the one hand, she has fallen in love with the uncle who is her family member, whom she has been with day and night, and she is afraid that he will find out, otherwise it may ruin the family relationship between them over the past two years.
On the other hand, she thought he had someone he liked, so burying her feelings for him in her heart was the best choice.
Dan Anwen was relieved that he had pressed her for answers and given her no chance to back down, otherwise this misunderstanding might have haunted them for life and become their greatest regret.
