Chapter 765: Chapter 769: Ye Xiaobei, do you know what is love?
Gu Junzhu found her reactions amusing and leaned in to tease her, “Don’t worry, I can help you clear your mind. Isn’t it said in the books that intense emotions can leave the mind blank? I’m here to help you clear your thoughts.”
Ye Xingbei: “…Are you referring to what’s written in those yellow books?”
Gu Junzhu chuckles softly, flips their position in order to pin her down, and showers her with kisses, “Baby, you’re like jelly and cotton candy, both sweet and soft.”
Ye Xingbei shivers weakly under his kisses. Her protests come out all soft and mushy, “It’s daytime. Don’t go overboard. Let’s rest for a while. We still need to go downstairs for dinner!”
“What’s the matter?” the Fifth Lord of Gu holds her hand, looking all pitiful, “If we can’t do it in the car, nor on the bed, are you trying to starve me to death?”
“Leave me alone!” A blushing Ye Xingbei pushes him away, “At night, okay? I feel a bit shy during the daytime!”
Her embarrassment just makes her even more attractive and appealing, and it becomes near-impossible for the Fifth Lord of Gu to resist.
However careful she is with her refusal, he can’t bear to force her. A thought flashes across his mind, he opens a drawer and pulls out a heart-shaped crystal box, “Baby, this is for you.”
Ye Xingbei accepts it, her eyes gleaming, “So pretty!”
Gu Junzhu smirks, “How could you not get candy when you’ve come to Feng City? There are one hundred and one different candies in here, each one unique and different!”
Gu Junzhu kisses her on the lips, proudly declaring, “My idea. Had someone go out and buy them. Baby, how is it? Are you moved?”
Girls often can’t resist sweet candies, and Ye Xingbei is no exception.
She’s seen candy before, but never one hundred and one different types all housed in such a beautiful box. This is her first ever experience.
Along with the surprise of the gift, Gu Junzhu’s thoughtfulness makes Ye Xingbei’s heart even sweeter.
She cradles the crystal box, a smile gradually blooming on her face, utterly delighted.
Seeing her so giddy and giggly, like a crafty little fox who secretly stole a chicken, Gu Junzhu’s heart melts. Sighing contentedly, he pinches her cheek, “Ye Xiaobei, do you know what love is?”
Ye Xingbei blinks, “What is love? Is it something that would willingly make one lay down their life?”
Gu Junzhu: “…I didn’t ask for a poem!”
Ye Xingbei shakes her head honestly, “I don’t know, love is just emotion, isn’t it? It’s something quite elusive, not like a ball you can just pass around. It’s not tangible. All I can do is recite a poem!”
“…” Gu Junzhu shakes his head with a sigh.
Even she doesn’t get it! He sure asked the wrong person.
Ye Xingbei takes the Fifth Lord of Gu’s inquisitive moment as another one of his quirks and ignores it, proceeding to happily open her candy box and investigate the flavors.
Gu Junzhu grabs her candy-touching hand and bites it gently, “Ye Xiaobei, I’m talking to you, pay attention!”
“It’s not an exam, why so serious?” Ye Xingbei shakes his hand off and continues to examine her candies, “Do you know what talking casually is? It’s idle chat! I’ll chat with you when I’m free, and if I’m busy I won’t. Right now, I’m counting candies. If I feel like responding I will. If not, I won’t, that’s what idle chat is!”
