Chapter 704: Attacking the Heart First
"Ah Qing greets Senior Brother!"
In fact, Gu Qingcheng had already seen Mu Xiu in the crowd.
Well, the people around her are all her closest relatives, so she can't say words like "standing out from the crowd".
But, Mu Xiu is really very conspicuous.
He is tall, a head taller than the people around him.
The golden brown hair is particularly bright in the sunlight.
His facial features are delicate and three-dimensional, especially his silver-blue eyes, which are deep and mysterious.
Just one glance and you seem to be deeply attracted by it.
However, this dazzlingly handsome man was surrounded by a faint gloom.
He has low self-esteem! He is also very sensitive! Gu Qingcheng is a big shot in the court who has seen countless people.
She can see through the other person's disguise at a glance.
Not to mention, Mu Xiu's inferiority complex was so obvious that he didn't try to hide it at all.
At first sight, Gu Qingcheng discovered Mu Xiu's problem.
Furthermore, she still has the memories and experiences of her previous life.
Gu Qingcheng has her own way to deal with those who become inferior due to external suppression, bullying, malice, etc.
Simple! Brutal!
No need for too many fancy words, the word "sincerity" is enough.
"Brother, can I call you Brother?"
Gu Qingcheng tilted her little head back and thought, cough cough, her body was probably still in the development stage.
Now he is of medium build, about 160cm tall.
When standing in front of someone who is over 190cm tall, you really need to look up.
Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes are clear, clean, and dotted with sparkles.
She pursed her lips that were as pretty as flower petals and said with a hint of dreaminess, "Brother, you are so handsome!"
Mu Xiu:! At first, seeing such a noble and beautiful girl, Mu Xiu instinctively wanted to take a closer look.
It's not about greed, it's just an appreciation of beautiful things.
In particular, Mu Xiu did not sense any malice from the other party.
This made Mu Xiu inexplicably excited.
But soon, he began to despise his "instinct" - who are you? You are just a bastard that the world scorns, and you dare to covet the daughter of the Gu family of Wujun? The little girl in front of him, in addition to her noble family background, also has a fairy-like appearance, which makes him feel even more inferior.
Just when Mu Xiu was falling into this gloomy mood of self-loathing, he saw the little girl's bright smile and heard her sweet voice like a silver bell.
Mu Xiu's heart seemed to be soaked in a hot spring, warm and moist.
He was even bewitched by his own fantasies and had some delusional thoughts.
However, Gu Qingcheng's words, "Brother, you are so handsome," were like a heavy hammer hitting Mu Xiu's head.
Brother, you are so handsome? She, she is mocking me?
How can I be good-looking? Not to mention the rich and powerful, even if I walk on the street and am seen by ordinary people, I will be pointed at.
Yellow-haired ghost! Blue-eyed ghost! Ugly monster! The bastard born of Hu Ji!
...Too many dirty words filled his past twenty-one years.
Ever since he could remember, he had been ridiculed and humiliated.
Even his biological father despised him.
Mr. Wei is wise and knowledgeable. He is like a compassionate Buddha, and believes in "equality of all beings".
The beautiful and the ugly, the smart and the stupid, the knowledgeable and the shallow... the teacher treats them all fairly.
In his eyes, he was not treated as an outsider, but as an ordinary person.
Although there is not too much praise, there is no discrimination either!
This already made Mu Xiu very satisfied! But Mr. Ke’s beloved daughter, this incredibly beautiful little girl in front of him, but, but——
Mu Xiu's face was a little blushing just now, but at this moment, it turned pale.
His tall, thin figure began to sway slightly.
Mu Xiu pinched her palms hard, not letting herself lose her composure, and not letting herself utter bad words to the third wife of the Gu family——
This is the master's youngest daughter and his most beloved daughter.
I respect my husband, so I must be tolerant of his daughter!
I, endure!
Gu Yi and others also heard what Gu Qingcheng said.
Although they would not think that their daughter (niece/sister) was speaking sarcastically or humiliating Mu Xiu.
However, they still didn't quite understand: based on Aqing's wisdom and broad-mindedness, if she wanted to make friends with someone, she would never use this method.
"Gu, Gu, Sanniang, you, you are joking!"
Mu Xiu suppressed the chaotic and intense negative emotions and squeezed out these words from between his teeth with a trembling voice.
Gu Qingcheng seemed not to notice the pain that Mu Xiu was about to lose control of. She stared at Mu Xiu's face with burning eyes, "Brother, your eyes are so beautiful, just like the sea!"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Mu Xiu: ...
Eye!
She is disgusted with my eyes!
I know that I am different from the people around me. I have blue eyes like a monster.
But, but this is not what I wanted.
Why? Such a pretty little girl, with the most gentle voice, said something that touched people's hearts?
Mu Xiu's silver-blue eyes were filled with pain.
“…”
Mu Xiu really wanted to shout "Enough!"
But, he can't! Gu Qing is Mr. Gu's daughter, she is his junior sister.
Moreover, Gu Qing did not say anything bad, she was "praising" herself.
Gu Yi couldn't bear it any longer and said in a low voice, "Aqing!" Don't go too far!
Buqi is humble to begin with, and he can't bear your "praise"! "Dad, my brother is really handsome! He is a beauty just like me!"
Gu Qingcheng's words absolutely came from the bottom of her heart.
Gu Yi: ...Daughter, is there anything wrong with your eyes? Mu Xiu: ...
After being "praised" continuously, Mu Xiu's initial shame and anger slowly subsided. He lowered his eyes and looked into Gu Qingcheng's phoenix eyes.
Then, Mu Xiu was stunned.
In those beautiful eyes, he saw no malice, but only sincerity.
What's more, there was a hint of embarrassment on the little girl's pink face.
Is she shy?
Was it because she saw me? So, did she really think I was pretty? But, soon, Mu Xiu realized it, and he said bitterly, "I, I don't look like a Chinese!"
Not to mention that outsiders did not recognize him as one of their kind, even in the Mu family, even though his surname was Mu, many clansmen regarded him as a "foreigner".
There is a saying in China that goes, "Those who are not of my race must have different hearts."
No matter how Mu Xiu behaves, there will always be people who reject and doubt him.
Gu Qingcheng looked into Mu Xiu's eyes and suddenly asked, "Brother, have you read the classics of the saints?"
"Do you believe in family, country and the world?"
"Do you think you are from China?"
Although Mu Xiu didn't understand why Gu Qingcheng asked this, he still answered seriously, "Of course!"
He grew up reading the classics of sages, speaking the official language of the Celestial Empire, and learning the etiquette and rules of the Celestial Empire.
Apart from an outer appearance, he firmly believed in himself as a Chinese.
"Then you are from the Celestial Empire!"
After experiencing the era of great unification in the small world, Gu Qingcheng also transformed.
She also realized that from ancient times to the present, the Celestial Empire has never been about bloodline identity, but cultural identity!
