"Ningning is tired of being with her brother recently, so she wants to push me away as soon as possible, right?"
The question that Gu Yicheng asked was a life-or-death question for Ruan Ning. If he didn't answer it well, he would die miserably.
Even at this moment, even though the person opposite her still had a smile on his lips, Ruan Ning still felt a little suffocated from his oppressive tone.
Generally speaking, the more he laughs like this, the more terrifying what will happen next.
"No, no... How is this possible! I'm afraid my brother will abandon me if he stays with me every day." Ruan Ning cried in her heart, but answered quickly. She had a strong desire to survive and did not dare to waste even a moment.
Gu Yicheng raised his eyebrows and said nothing, with a look of obvious disbelief.
Ruan Ning looked embarrassed, "As a younger sister, I just want to care about my brother's life. Brother, think about it, you are already 22 years old, have you never thought about finding a girlfriend as soon as possible?"
In order to dispel the terrible thoughts that flashed through her mind from time to time, Ruan Ning was determined to continue asking. Anyway, it had already started, and everything that should and shouldn't be said had been said. There was no turning back, so she might as well ask directly to the end. This would also allow her to completely put this idea to rest.
Otherwise, that terrible guess would always be stuck in her mind, and she would never be able to get over it. She would not be in a good mood, and she would not be at ease when she was with Gu Yicheng.
However, in response to the question that Ruan Ning had asked with great difficulty and trembling in her heart, Gu Yicheng only glanced at her indifferently and gave her two words stingily, "No hurry."
If you're not anxious, then I am! If you don't find a girlfriend, I'll always have wild thoughts. Living in fear every day is really miserable.
Could this be the legendary expression of the emperor being anxious while the eunuch is? ?
Ruan Ning looked depressed, but did not dare to show his true emotions.
But how could the man be blinded by the expression on the girl's face? He chuckled, his eyes deep, "I have no interest in her. You'd better not think too much about it."
Ruan Ning knew what he was talking about, but she felt that she could still try harder on this matter, so she continued dryly: "Actually, I think the sister who just came over is really pretty..."
As she was speaking she suddenly fell silent.
Gu Yicheng took a few steps forward at a slow pace. Under his imposing manner that could not be ignored, Ruan Ning unconsciously took several steps back until she suddenly felt a pain in her back. It turned out that there was a tree behind her and her back accidentally hit the trunk of the tree.
At this point, she had nowhere to retreat and finally had to stop.
Gu Yicheng also stopped, only a few steps away from her.
"My Ningning...is much prettier than her." Gu Yicheng said in a hoarse voice.
When the man said this, his eyes were on her from beginning to end.
Ruan Ning felt uncomfortable being stared at by him. She felt that she was completely invisible in his eyes. Her eyes began to wander and she laughed dryly twice, "Hahaha, really? Why didn't I notice that..."
She was wrong! She was really wrong!! She shouldn't have been so hasty to ask him directly when he would find her a sister-in-law. She shouldn't have asked him again after asking him once. She should have stopped immediately after she realized something was wrong.
Why do people have to understand everything? Isn't it better to live in confusion in this world? Just pretend that you didn't see anything.
...Why does it feel like she is pushing herself into the fire pit now?
From the man's eyes and demeanor, Ruan Ning seemed to have vaguely grasped a glimpse of the truth, and the guess in her heart became clearer and clearer. If she had just asked another question in accordance with his words, she would have gotten the answer she wanted. But at this moment, Ruan Ning retreated shamefully.
She doesn't want to know anything now.
Gu Yicheng took two more steps forward and propped himself on the tree trunk with one hand. If someone stood next to the two of them now, looking from the side, it would be as if Ruan Ning was lying in his arms.
Ruan Ning looked at the man getting closer and closer to her. Her heart suddenly started beating faster. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't because she was moved, she was just scared!
Help! What is he trying to do? ?
Don't, don't look at her like that again. She was really scared.
Ruan Ning wished she could become a blind person at this moment, so that she would not be able to see the tenderness in Gu Yichen's eyes and another emotion that she could not understand.
Ruan Ning was so nervous that her body was straightened, and her long eyelashes kept blinking like a fluttering butterfly.
Gu Yicheng stretched out his slender fingers, and when they were about to reach her jade-white cheek, his eyes deepened. Finally, he turned around and took a fallen leaf blown by the wind from her hair.
When Ruan Ning saw that Gu Yichen was just picking up the fallen leaf for her, the expression on her face obviously relaxed a lot.
It's just that she was too nervous just now, and now there is still moisture in her black and white eyes, like a frightened little animal.
Gu Yicheng threw away the leaves and touched her hair. He rubbed it several times, closed his eyes slightly, suppressed the urge in his heart, and said in a slow voice, "The others are almost done over there, so we should go over there too."
Ruan Ning felt that the look in his eyes now made her more flustered than before.
Ruan Ning didn't even hear what he said. She only heard that she could finally escape from the sea of suffering. She nodded rapidly and almost cried as she said goodbye to him.
She is simply so grateful to everyone on the team.

...Even Zhou Yu was defeated.
The middle-aged man was extremely depressed after seeing this. It seemed that there was really no hope at all for him to seek asylum.
Zhou Yu also felt a strong sense of frustration from what happened just now. That man actually had no such thoughts about her at all.
She couldn't help but lower her head and secretly glance at her bulging breasts. She was obviously well-endowed, so why didn't that man show any emotion at all just now? He even drove her away without any interest and in a cold manner.
Could it be that he has someone in his heart? ?
Zhou Yu found an excuse for her failure. Yes, that man must have someone else in his heart. That's why he doesn't like other people. Otherwise, how could he ignore a beauty like her who came right to his door?
But...who is the person he cares about?
Zhou Yu just looked around and didn't see any other young women in the team except the man's sister. Or maybe she didn't see them.
"Zhou Yu, don't blame yourself. You did your best in this matter."
Zhou Yu was lost in thought. When she heard the captain's words of comfort, she smiled awkwardly. Of course, she didn't tell anyone else what happened in the past. She just said that they still rejected their proposal.
However, Zhou Yu went over confidently, and returned dejectedly just like Zhao Junru. Everyone in the team saw it. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell what had happened.
Now, some people with special abilities have started to whisper behind their backs. Ordinary people certainly don't dare to act rashly. Even if they have some thoughts in their minds, they can only pretend that they know nothing. They usually don't even dare to talk much, let alone at this time.
Zhou Yu was deaf, so of course she heard the discussions around her, and she heard them clearly. Among these people with special powers, some of them were jealous of her and disliked her for various reasons. Some of them were men who were not handsome and did not have strong special powers, so she looked down on them and rejected them all. These people had been jealous of her for a long time. Now that they finally got the chance, it would be abnormal if they didn't say a few words.
They were just joking, she didn't care anyway. This time she just didn't get close to the superpower over there. If she really got close to him, they wouldn't dare to say these things in front of her even if they had the courage.
What a bunch of idiots.
…
Since they couldn't strive to travel together, they could only follow this team from a distance.
He who knows the current affairs is a wise man. The middle-aged man did not want to go for the third time. If they went there again and again to bother them, they would really annoy them.
Their team could no longer withstand the anger from the powerful team.
The middle-aged man saw that the team didn't say anything when they followed behind him, so he thought they would be easy to talk to. If they could take them for a ride, they would get a lot of supplies for free, so they would not refuse, so he sent someone there.
Otherwise, he might not have sent someone to negotiate so quickly. Because annexation is a common thing between teams. For the sake of the team, he did not dare to take the risk.
Once a team shows a disadvantage, it will easily be targeted by other teams, and there are many who will take advantage of the situation to rob them.
After a short rest, they were back on the road.
The middle-aged man also quickly gathered his team and followed this team.
However, they did not dare to get any closer, and kept a safe distance of 100 meters away as before, so as not to let the team in front of them misunderstand that they were following them with intentions of doing something wrong.
