Gu Ci almost ran away. When she sat on the bed, she realized that she was still holding the noodles that Li Rui had made for her. The noodles inside the bucket had already been soaked, but she felt extremely warm holding the bucket of noodles. She ate it bit by bit and smiled foolishly as she recalled the first time she saw Li Rui and the first time he cooked for her. It was as if everything about him had occupied all her thoughts. She even thought of the kiss that Li Rui had just left on her lips. It was cold and gentle, just like Li Rui's cool expression and the way he acted.
She only fell asleep very late. Li Rui had been standing by her bed, invisible. After she fell asleep, he bent down to cover Gu Ci with the blanket. Looking at her sleeping face, he felt safe. He gently pressed his head on Gu Ci's body and talked to himself. He didn't know who to talk to. "Gu Ci, if you discover my secret one day, you must forgive me.”
One day, you will find me, but I can't bear to lose you again. Even if this choice will send me to hell, I won't hesitate.
That night, Liu Mingming tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. After hearing that his daughter had an accident, Liu Changming immediately rushed home. Only then did he suddenly remember that it was his daughter's birthday. For the first time, he threw down his work and had a meal with Liu Mingming. However, Liu Mingming was not happy and returned to his room without eating much. Tang Yifeng's words made her uneasy. She held the jade that Gu Ci had given her in her hand and asked softly. "Gu Ci, do you like Li Rui too?”
Gu Ci woke up in the morning and washed up before going to feed the fish. The morning temperature was very low. She stood in the courtyard, and the sun had already begun to slowly shine on the eaves. She poured the water from the bathtub into the garden and watered the grapes. After everything was done, she sat on the rocking chair to catch up on her sleep. When Li Rui went downstairs, he took a long coat and put it on Gu Ci. He couldn't help but scold her. "How old are you? You still don't know how to take care of yourself.”
Gu Ci allowed him to wrap her clothes around her. She felt a little embarrassed when she recalled last night, but she still blurted out," I still have you, don't I?"”
Li Rui pursed his lips and smiled. He patted her head and said," Have a good rest. I'll change the dressing later."”
He went to the kitchen to make breakfast and secretly replenished himself with some human blood. Otherwise, he couldn't guarantee that he would reveal his true form in front of Gu Ci. It was really inconvenient after moving to Gu Ci's house. He couldn't put his food in the fridge openly, nor could he eat openly and enjoy the fresh human blood that Tang Yifeng had prepared for him. The porridge in the pot was slowly stewed over a small fire. He looked out of the window and saw Liu Mingming coming to Gu Ci's house early in the morning.
Gu Ci was talking to Liu Mingming with her clothes wrapped around her. The two of them exchanged a few pleasantries before going upstairs. Li Rui quickly ran out to talk to Gu Ci. "Gu Ci, if you're going out, remember to eat breakfast. Breakfast will be ready soon.”
When he saw Gu Ci, he happily replied," I know, you're so wishy-washy."”
The person behind her could not help but be stunned. She could no longer accept this fact. Gu Ci was young and beautiful, and she was better than her. She was also an adult, so there was no reason for her not to be tempted by Li Rui." Why is Li Rui here? Are you two already together?"
Gu Ci lowered her head and did not answer. Of course, she knew what Liu Mingming was thinking. Last night, she only thought of herself and forgot to consider Liu Mingming. If she knew what happened last night, what would she think? She explained to Liu Mingming," You misunderstood. Li Rui and I are just teachers and students…He's my tenant now."
"That's good. I thought the two of us would like the same person.”Liu Mingming suddenly understood.
Gu Ci lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Liu Mingming. At this time, Li Rui's voice sounded from behind," Breakfast is ready."”
She turned around and saw Li Rui's sad eyes. He must have heard her say that they were no longer related. Last night was so beautiful that it was like a dream. Li Rui placed the breakfast that he had just made on the stone table and said to Gu Ci," I'm going out for a while. I'll probably be busy for the next few days and won't be back. Remember to change your dressing and be careful not to get your wound infected."”
"What's wrong with you, Gu Ci? Why are you injured again?" Liu Mingming looked at Gu Ci worriedly.
"Small wound. It's fine." she said. Liu Mingming asked. "Are you really fine?"
"It's fine." Gu Ci said.
"That's good." Liu Mingming said.
Li Rui had already gone upstairs to get his things. He said goodbye to them and left in a hurry. He didn't go anywhere. He didn't have anything to do. He just stayed in his apartment and sat in front of the French window to drink. Why didn't Gu Ci reject him after he kissed him, but when he was full of hope that they could start, he gave him a blow. We have nothing to do with each other. Then what about that night? Why did Gu Ci always have to decide everything single-handedly? If they were not related, why would she call out her name in the dream?
When he went back, he smelled like alcohol. Gu Ci was watching a movie online in the courtyard. When he came back, she also turned her head and did not look at him. She did not even say a word. Li Rui suddenly shouted," Gu Ci."”Then, he went forward to hug her." Why did you say that we're not related so easily?" Why?"
Gu Ci only said. "Because I can give up anything for Liu Mingming.”She turned to leave and said as she walked up the stairs. "I forgot to tell you. I'm going to be busy with business these few days. Take care of the house.”
She knew that Li Rui was downstairs watching her, but Liu Mingming was her good friend. She couldn't betray her good friend. If she fell in love with the person Liu Mingming liked, she would feel very shameless and disgusting.
Gu Ci changed into the cheongsam she had just bought, put down her long hair, and closed her eyes to silently recite a spell. Her vision was chaotic, and the wind was whistling. When she opened her eyes, she was already standing in an unfamiliar place. There were no tall buildings here, only small bridges and flowing water. Li Rui was not here either. There was no one she knew.
