Chapter 221 In-depth communication
"..."
A familiar voice sounded, and a feeling of suffocation hit her face. Gu Miao's hand holding the doorknob was shaking.
The lips wriggled and no sound came out at all.
It’s been a long time since I’ve experienced this feeling of weakness in my legs.
If the hand behind her wasn't still holding the doorknob, she would have fallen to the ground.
The room was silent for a moment.
It was probably too long since he didn't wait for her answer, so the man's fingertips moved slightly.
The next moment, the lights came on.
The light was dazzling, and Gu Miao was exposed to the light without any precautions, as if she were naked. It hit her exposed skin with a burning sensation, stinging her heart and sending a dull pain.
She closed her eyes subconsciously.
Then she heard another soft sound and noticed that the surrounding light had changed. She slowly opened a crack and squinted her eyes to look at the crystal chandelier above her head.
The warm-toned light is dim and dim, illuminating every corner of the room, creating an illusion of warmth and happiness.
This was all an illusion, and Gu Miao knew it.
Although she had been mentally prepared a long time ago and Qi Yu had repeatedly warned her, Gu Xu had probably discovered her.
But when it comes time to face it, the feeling of nervousness and heart-beating in my throat is like when I made a mistake as a child, was taught by my mother, and stretched out my hand waiting to be slapped on the palm.
Take a deep breath.
She would have to face it sooner or later, and she had done nothing wrong.
In other words, he still wanted to thank her.
No?
Thinking of what she overheard on the phone that day, Gu Miao loosened her clenched teeth and looked up at him.
Beside the window, the man's long legs were crossed and he was leaning on the dark green single sofa.
On the armrest on one side was his coat. If you look closely, you can see that he is still wearing the formal clothes he wears during work and entertainment during the day.
He must have just returned from a date with Bai Qin.
No, that's not right.
On the coat, there was one of his hands resting on it. The fingertips were filled with smoke, and there was a half-burned cigarette.
There were several cigarette butts on the table in front of him.
He has been back for a while.
He didn't just come back, but came to her room and waited for her as soon as he came back.
Don't dare to think about it anymore.
Swallowing nervously, her eyes slowly moved up, passing over the thin lips and high bridge of the nose, looking around the frame to look at his familiar eyebrows.
The man had his hair combed back, probably in a hurry, with a few strands of hair hanging down, but it didn't look embarrassing, but added a touch of bohemian aura.
Before she could appreciate it, the sharp black eyes under the man's lenses stared straight at her, like a hawk, straightforward, fierce, and fiery.
With just one glance, Gu Miao's feet softened.
"Brother."
She calmed her voice and called him.
There seems to be no difference between one word and two words.
But coming out of her mouth, it sounded completely different.
In the past, when she called her brother, it was like being coquettish.
Now if you change it into a word, it sounds like it means drawing a clear line.
Gu Xu laughed with unknown meaning and his magnetic voice sounded at the same time, "Why are you back so late? Have you had dinner with Yuesong?"
He really seemed like a good brother caring about his sister who came home late, fearing that she would be hungry outside.
His words were gentle, with the approachable kindness of an elder brother.
Of course, these words would be acceptable to any pair of siblings.
The point is, they are not brother and sister.
Gu Miao could clearly feel the blankness in her heart.
Soon, it began to beat wildly again, and even when she spoke, her heartbeat overwhelmed her voice, causing her to not know what she said for a while.
"I...went out after eating. We, me and him...we went, went..."
What to do.
Go on a blind date for him?
"Come here."
Gu Xu had a gentle voice, turned the hand holding the cigarette, palm up, and waved to her, "Sit down and talk."
Like a patient teacher facing a student who makes a mistake.
"..."
Gu Miao was speechless and glanced at his blackening value.
Sure enough, there was an increase, and he was indeed angry with her.
But it does not pose a threat for the time being.
In fact, she didn't know why she was so nervous and scared.
It seemed like a natural reaction had developed.
She didn't dare to go there either.
I always feel that nothing good happens. Not only does she think so, the system also thinks so.
Gu Miao even thought about vomiting blood to escape the disaster.
Then he was tortured by the system's soul: [Host, don't you think facing the problem head-on now may be less harmful than coughing up blood? 】
Yeah?
She didn't believe it.
[At most, it’s just some in-depth exchanges. 】
"...You know so much."
[Oh, I’m used to it. 】
"..."
"Aren't you coming over?" Seeing her standing there in a daze, Gu Xu pressed the cigarette in his hand on the table and stubbed it out with all his strength.
Under Gu Miao's blank gaze, he slowly stood up, stepped out with his long legs, stepped on the carpet, and walked towards her.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
After reacting, Gu Miao's pupils shrank suddenly.
Why don't you run?
But, where can this... go?
If something happens and the old gentleman is disturbed, it will be a big trouble.
Gu Xu was already very difficult to deal with.
In a daze, the man was only one step away from her.
The second he stretched out his hand, Gu Miao's body slid down uncontrollably, she let out a short scream, and finally fell down, leaning against the door panel and sitting on the ground.
The man's hand froze in mid-air and did not move for a long time.
Gu Miao was the first to react. She felt that her body's reaction was too exaggerated and she was embarrassed and at a loss. "Well, brother, you step back first and I stand up."
The angle was so weird that she didn't dare to raise her head.
The person in front of him didn't move.
The man lowered his eyes and stared at the top of her head, lost in thought.
Beneath the calm appearance, a storm was swirling in his eyes behind the lenses.
She resisted.
From her words to her eyes and actions, she was resisting contact with him.
Seeing that he didn't move, Gu Miao rolled and crawled, turned her head away, and stood up awkwardly holding on to the floor and door frame.
Before he could stand up straight, his arm was held by someone.
She was startled and her body froze.
The man pulled her up with a little force on his hand.
"Thank you, brother."
She struggled, but the hand on her arm did not let go.
In front of you is him, behind you is the door.
She had no way out.
Gu Miao didn't know what to say. Should she explain, accuse or apologize?
Why do you need to apologize? She's not wrong.
The atmosphere was awkward and she really couldn't find a topic.
It seems like anything you say at this time is wrong.
After thinking about it, let’s explain it.
But the story is too long and I don’t know where to start.
She needed words.
Opposite him, the man suddenly raised his other hand.
Gu Miao only felt a shadow shaking in front of her eyes and subconsciously turned her head to avoid it.
The man's hand failed for the second time.
Her long eyelashes trembled violently, together with her shaking shoulders, which were proof of her fear.
A chuckle sounded in his ears, the meaning of which was unknown.
Gu Miao slowly opened her eyes and looked into his dark eyes, "Are you so afraid of me?"
"It's not... and it's not fear."
"You avoided me twice."
"..."
She said it was a subconscious reaction, not intentional.
Gu Xu accepted it, but finally said: "This is because you think you have done something wrong."
When he said this, Gu Miao frowned and argued: "No."
"I'm not wrong."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden knock on the door from behind, interrupting the conversation between the two.
"Gu Miao?"
It's Yuesong.
