"Well, when you're out in the world, don't you give yourself the status you want? Besides... I just want to see why she's thinking about me. What's her purpose in persisting in thinking about me for so long...?"
The more he spoke, the softer his voice became, until he stopped talking altogether and even shrank his head.
There was nothing she could do. The gaze of the soldier in front of her was simply too calm and deep. He just stood there, neither happy nor sad, and said nothing. He just looked at her quietly with those calm eyes, which made her heart tremble. It was quite scary.
She feels guilty...
Also, could it be because of the smell of something far away that stinks up close? After not seeing him for a long time, she still missed him a lot, but why did she feel that there was something weird about him when they met?
What happened?
Why, after not seeing him for a while, the aura of this man in front of her seemed even more intimidating, and even made her legs feel weak. His figure seemed to be even more...
"What are you thinking about?" He whispered softly in her ear with a coaxing tone, and Wei Ci couldn't help but blurt out what was in her heart before her mind could react.
"I was wondering how Brother Zhan developed his abdominal muscles..."
Wei Ci blinked her eyes and finally realized what a stupid thing she had done.
Feeling annoyed, she gave Gu Zhan a silly smile with dimples on her lips. When a meaningful smile appeared in Gu Zhan's eyes, she turned around and wanted to run, but the next second, someone grabbed her by the scruff of the neck and pulled her back, leaving her limbs flapping in the air.
"Why are you running? Huh? Are you feeling guilty?"
After being caught, knowing that she was in the wrong, Wei Ci simply laid her hands and feet motionless, allowing herself to be carried, with her head drooping to her chest. For some reason, Gu Zhan felt that he saw the little girl's invisible tail and ears drooping down as well, which inexplicably revealed a sense of pity.
Wei Ci is always the quickest to admit her mistakes. Once she realizes something is wrong, she immediately says, "I'm sorry, I was wrong."
A smile flashed across Gu Zhan's eyes, and he asked in a low voice, "What did you do wrong? Who did you offend?"
Wei Ci glanced at Gu Zhan from the corner of her eye, and happened to see his narrowed eyes. She was frightened and her head dropped even lower as she felt annoyed. "I'm sorry, big brother and second brother, and my parents, Wei Jixiang. I shouldn't have put myself in danger."
It was strange. She had seen all kinds of powerful men. The three men around her mother held great power, and she had seen many handsome men before. She had never been afraid of them. Why was she so scared when she saw Gu Zhan's serious face now?
Unable to figure it out, Wei Ci bowed her head and apologized neatly. Anyway, no matter what the reason was, it was always right to apologize first. A'niang said that as long as one was not caught cheating, it was always right to apologize first no matter what the mistake was.
Gu Zhan...???
Gu Zhan's aura stagnated for a moment. My goodness, even the dog at home got the "sorry" and he couldn't see a grown man like him standing in front of her?
Just how bad of a brother is he? Is it that he doesn't give enough gifts on a regular basis? Or is it that his expression is too subtle?
After all, I am not worthy!
"Do you really know you're wrong? What are you going to do if you encounter this situation again?"
Wei Ci choked. What should she do? What else could she do?!
Of course, you would throw a handful of sleeping pills at him when he's off guard, knock him down, tie him up, and then pull the cat out to see if it's a good cat for catching mice, regardless of whether it's black or white.
Gu Zhan wanted to sigh again, pinching his nose. Couldn't he have asked him or his eldest brother? He and his eldest brother were not here, and there was also his second brother... Never mind, his second brother was just a fool. When it came to his sister, he was just a brainless guy with some strength but he couldn't be relied upon.
Don't think that this little girl is still trying to be submissive to him, saying "Brother Zhan, I was wrong" all the time. As soon as he saw the girl's eyes rolling around, he knew that she was not convinced in her heart, and who knows what she is thinking about him in her mind.
"Don't put yourself in danger if you encounter something like this again. You're still young. If anything were to happen to you, how would you let us...how would we, your brothers who care about you, accept it? Your eldest brother is already fighting on the front lines. If something happened to you, do you think he would still be able to focus on that?"
If something were to go wrong, Qingshan would definitely be the second lunatic who could blow the whistle. As for who would be the first, it wouldn't be Wei Qingfeng, that clueless guy.
Wei Qingfeng: Hey tui! Bad luck!
Wei Ci really fell silent this time and began to reflect on his own problems.
To put it simply, the reason why she acts so recklessly is because she relies on her unique abilities and the close protection of her second brother.
In addition, he is usually protected by the aunties and sisters in the village and has not experienced too many hardships, so he is fearless in his daily life.
If she really fought alone against an entire group of people without relying on the medicine in the space, she would definitely suffer a great loss.
"Okay, stop scaring her. You're almost frightening her to death. If she's really scared, will you compensate me?"
A familiar low voice sounded, and a tall figure approached from behind the two of them.
Wei Ci looked up and turned around in surprise. When she saw the familiar tall figure, her expression immediately became surprised, and she whooshed over like a small whirlwind.
"Brother! Brother! Wuuwuwu! Brother! Why did you just show up? Someone over there is bullying me!"
After saying that, she pointed with her small white hand and started to complain to the head of the family in a wronged manner.
Gu Zhan's eyebrows jumped when he was pointed at, and the space between his eyebrows was throbbing wildly. He hadn't said anything yet, so he didn't offend this little ancestor, right?
Wei Qingshan smiled dotingly, touched his little sister's head, pushed her behind him to protect her, and looked at the old lady surrounded by the crowd, his eyes growing colder by the minute.
"Don't worry, I'm here. Let's go. The car is waiting outside the door. I'll take you to see our new house."
As she turned to leave, she glanced at Gu Zhan and made a gesture. After years of tacit understanding, they understood each other almost instantly. Gu Zhan nodded and shifted his gaze away from the little girl.
It turned out that they were not talking about him. He was startled and thought that he had done something wrong and offended the girl.
Wei Ci was led away by her elder brother. She kept chattering about what she had seen and heard along the way. Her voice was as clear as an oriole. She seemed to be in a very good mood and it was not obvious that the incident just now had any effect on her.
Wei Qingfeng, who was secretly hit by his elder brother several times, rubbed his aching stomach, looked at the two people in front of him who were so respectful to each other, and the brother and sister who were so close to each other that they had forgotten him, and couldn't help rolling his eyes.
How come we got into trouble together, but his sister is always right and he is always wrong?
His elder brother has finally figured out the principle of favoring girls over boys. It turns out that he is the only adopted child in this family?
