"Hey, hey, wait a minute!"
Su Xiaoli chased after Chen Gu's back and shouted with a wave of her hand.
Hearing Su Xiaoli's voice, Chen Gu squatted down and turned around. He asked in confusion,""What's the matter?"
" That..." Su Xiaoli did not dare to look into Chen Gu's eyes. She lowered her head and said in a soft voice,""Thank you for what happened just now."
"I'm just repaying a favor. You helped me pay just now, and I helped you solve the problem.”Chen Gu said calmly.
"I know." Su Xiaoli felt even more embarrassed. She looked a little guilty." I was a little harsh just now. I apologize for that. I shouldn't have judged your character so easily. I hope you can forgive me!”
"I didn't take it to heart, but I still accept your apology.”
Chen Gu was telling the truth. He was an old man who had lived for tens of thousands of years. His seniority was enough to be Su Xiaoli's ancestor. In other words, his age was equivalent to Su Xiaoli's elder. As a divine sword with three standards and proper moral character, it would naturally be tolerant and understanding toward a little girl like Su Xiaoli.
After all, it was understandable that children had a temper.
Besides, Su Xiaoli's previous words were nothing. He had heard even worse words that were a hundred times worse and could even strike his heart. It was impossible to shake his heart that was as firm as a rock. It could not even stir up a ripple in his heart.
"Thank you." Su Xiaoli bowed deeply to Chen Gu.
"You're welcome. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. I still have something to do.”Chen Gu nodded slightly. He had to send back the food he had bought before his mount starved to death.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Gu turned around and left without hesitation.
Su Xiaoli was dumbfounded. Just…just like that?
"Hey, wait a little longer!" Su Xiaoli quickly caught up with Chen Gu's pace. She looked a little anxious and nervous.
"Is there anything else?"
"You…Didn't you want my contact information? " I'll give it to you now. You can contact me when you're free…" Su Xiaoli twirled her hair at her temples. She still did not dare to look into Chen Gu's eyes when she said this. She even sounded a little arrogant.
"Why would I want your contact information?”Chen Gu was baffled.
"Didn't you plan to contact me when you had the chance?”Su Xiaoli was also dumbfounded and even a little angry.
What's wrong with this man? He didn't even want a chance. Is there any meaning in playing hard to get?
"That's because I wanted to repay your kindness, but we're even now. I don't need your contact information anymore.”Chen Gu explained.
Su Xiaoli's face was dull and she could not find any point to refute. She opened her mouth and remained silent for a long time, but she could not say a word.
This man really did not seem to be interested in her at all!
How was this possible?
Was he gay?
Or was his aesthetic more inclined to the aesthetics of the Stone Age?
"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first.”Chen Gu calmly said this and turned to leave.
"Wait a little longer!" Su Xiaoli quickly ran in front of Chen Gu, feeling a little complicated.
"What is it this time?"
"Don't you want to ask me out for coffee or a movie when you're free?”Su Xiaoli asked suspiciously.
Chen Gu pondered for a moment, then answered seriously,""What you said should be considered part of experiencing life, but to me, I can just find anyone or myself. Why would I ask you out?”
"I look different from ordinary women. Can't you tell?”Su Xiaoli deliberately cast a glance at Chen Gu, wanting to see his reaction.
She did not believe that Chen Gu would be able to maintain his calm state under her attack.
No man had ever been able to resist her deliberate charm.
He didn't know if it was because of his talent or the curse. She had a unique charm since she was young. Even if she did not deliberately show off, the men around her would always fall in love with her. Once she deliberately emitted this charm, the effect would increase by at least several times. Even a senior monk who had been enlightened for many years might not be able to resist her every frown.
When Chen Gu saw this, he thought for a few seconds and then answered,""I can see that you have fifty more eyelashes than the normal standard.”
"..." Su Xiaoli was shocked.
What the hell is your focus! I'm talking about her overall appearance and figure! Who told you to pay attention to eyelashes! And how did you count how many eyelashes I have in such a short period of time? Are you sure you're not talking nonsense?
Su Xiaoli kept complaining in her heart. This was the first time she had seen a man who was not charmed by her, and also the first time she had seen such a strange man.
"Am I wrong?" Chen Gu asked, puzzled.
" This is no longer a question of right or wrong…" Su Xiaoli forced a smile and tried her best to not look so angry. She knew that this direction was not going to work, so she changed the topic."Aren't you curious why I said those nasty words to you in the first place?”
"Why?" Chen Gu was interested.
Recently, he had begun to study the psychology of women. He wanted to figure out why women always had inexplicable emotional changes.
Once he had thoroughly studied it, he might be able to control the emotional changes of his mount at will. He would no longer have to worry about the danger of his mount exploding on the spot.
" It all started a long time ago…" Su Xiaoli suddenly sighed, and there was a hint of sorrow and indignation between her brows."My grandmother is a prostitute, my mother is a mistress, I've never seen my father or my grandfather…"
Su Xiaoli's narration of the past lasted for more than ten minutes. Chen Gu did not show any signs of impatience. He listened attentively without interrupting her midway and allowed Su Xiaoli to narrate her story in an emotional manner.
Ten seconds after Su Xiaoli's last syllable, Chen Gu finally expressed his opinion.""You sound so pitiful."
Su Xiaoli, whose eyes were moist, was a little angry when she heard those indifferent words.""Hey! Don't you have any sympathy? I'm already in this situation, and this is how you comfort me?”
"How else can I comfort you?”Chen Gu asked doubtfully. He really did not know how to comfort others, especially women.
He had lived for tens of thousands of years and had experienced too much. In addition, he had heard hundreds of stories about Su Xiaoli's encounters. Moreover, he also understood an unreasonable truth-comfort could only be regarded as an auxiliary medicine at best. Whether or not he could cross the threshold in his heart depended on himself.
He had once seen a top-notch cultivator who was depressed and dispirited to the extreme because his family members were all killed by his enemies. Countless fellow daoists that he had made friends with had come to comfort him and used spiritual spells to help him escape from his highly depressed mental state. However, in the end, after this top-notch cultivator killed his enemy, he chose to commit suicide, causing countless fellow daoists to feel extremely regretful.
Reality proved that without a firm heart that wanted to move towards the future, no amount of comfort could save a person who was desperately trapped in the past.
" I..." Su Xiaoli could not answer at the moment. She was just a little angry. The man in front of her really did not understand a woman's heart. If he came up and comforted her with some gentle words in this situation, perhaps she would secretly fall in love with him! Although the probability was very low, so low that it could be ignored…
"I don't know how to comfort you, but I know that although you can't choose your birth, you can choose your future. The road is under your feet. What you will look like in the future is not something that others can control. The key lies in your heart.”Chen Gu looked into Su Xiaoli's eyes and said seriously.
"In my opinion, you've already successfully controlled half of your life. You haven't been reduced to the same level as your mother and grandmother, right? You're just trapping yourself in the past. The birth background that you can't decide is not the chain that restrains you. What really restrains you is the opinion of the people around you and the inferiority complex that comes from being influenced by others.”
"I don't care about your birth or what others think of you. I have my own judgment. You should be like me, having a clear judgment of yourself. A thousand people have a thousand mouths. Why should you care about what those thousand mouths say?”
"Since I've said so much, I won't give you any more chicken soup. Whether you can step out of that hurdle in your heart can only depend on yourself. Optimists always have an easier life, just like me.”Chen Gu took a deep look at Su Xiaoli, then turned around and left.
After all, the buns in his hands were almost cold. If he didn't go back now, his mount might really starve to death.
Su Xiaoli looked at Chen Gu's back with a frown and fell into deep thought...
