Chapter 403 - 404: The Insensitive Blockhead

Ye Xingbei was stunned for a while, then she “chuckled” out a laugh, “You make it sound like it’s the real deal!”

Gu Junzhu was serious: “I am serious.” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Alright then!” Ye Xingbei jotted down her laughter, and stood face to face with Gu Junzhu, speaking very seriously: “Then go ahead and say those three words to me now!”

Gu Junzhu: “Hoveyou?”

Ye Xingbei laughed again, “Not a question, it has to be an affirmative statement!”

Gu Junzhu stared at her eyes, which were even more brilliantly sparkling and charming than the stars, “I…”

Those two words that were supposed to follow “I” were revolving around his tongue, but for some reason, they just wouldn’t come out.

Ye Xingbei smiled at him, her eyes full of understanding.

Gu Junzhu coughed, unusually a bit embarrassed.

Ye Xingbei waved at him, and turned her back, resting her arm on the edge of the hot air balloon’s fence, gazing at the distant starry sky with a smile on her lips, “I was just kidding, you don’t have to be so troubled. How long have we known each other? Love is never that easy. If you can just say those three words so casually, then you’re nothing but a heartless wanderer!”

Gu Junzhu touched his nose, unable to speak for a moment.

Ye Xingbei looked at him sideways, full of laughter in her eyes: “I love our life right now. Even if we’re just housemates, we make great partners. I’ve been really happy living with you these days, and so has Xiao Shu. Love at first sight is one thing, but love also grows over time. Who knows, maybe I’ll really fall in love with you one day, and you’ll fall in love with me. Let’s just let nature take its course.”

Gu Junzhu thought for a moment, then nodded, “Alright, let’s just let nature take its course.”

Ye Xingbei was right, they make great partners.

And he had been happy with Ye Xingbei these days.

Ye Xingbei smiled at him, “When we can look deeply into each other’s eyes and say ‘I love you’, we’ll get married. We’ll have Xiao Yue and Xiao Shu be our flower kids, and we’ll be the envy everyone!”

Gu Junzhu raised an eyebrow, “Does it have to be so mushy?”

Ye Xingbei “tsked” unhappily, glanced at him, and turned her face to continue gazing at the distant starry sky, “When you truly love someone, you won’t find it mushy. When you’re deeply in love, you’d be willing to repeat those three words countless times.”

Gu Junzhu chuckled, sizing her up, “You talk like you’re a love expert. Have you been in love?”

“Doi need to have eaten pork to know what a running pig looks like?” Ye Xingbei waved her hand, “Forget it, forget it. Love, being so romantic and sacred, a straight guy like you would never understand. What a waste of breath talking to you!”

Gu Junzhu gave a wry smile: “Ye Xiaobei, are you sure you’ve seen a pig run?”

Ye Xingbei: “…”

Alright then.

She had eaten pork, but had not seen a pig run.

But was that the point?

So talking about love with a romantic illiterate like him was a pure waste of saliva!

Ye Xingbei shot him a glance, too lazy to entertain him.

Fifth Lord of Gu accidentally killed off the conversation again.

He coughed, flicked the gemstone bracelet on Ye Xingbei’s wrist, and changed the subject, “Why didn’t you use the recorder when dealing with Leng Peini?”

Ye Xingbei gazed down the shining bracelet, her bright eyes gradually softening, “Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? The best steel should be used on a knife’s edge. This is a secret weapon, to be used at a crucial time. Leng Peini isn’t worth it.”

“I have plenty of these things, feel free to use them,” Gu Junzhu said: “The bracelet is exposed, next time I will send you earrings, necklaces, rings, anything can be modified to conceal a recorder.”
