Yun Liuli blinked, not quite understanding.
Gu Qingcheng continued, "As a man, how is he going to protect you in the future? Do you expect a girl to protect herself and him at the same time? I don't look good on such a friend."
Yun Liuli paused for a moment. "I'm still an orphan. I was also bullied in the past. What's wrong with that?"
Gu Qingcheng saw that Yun Liuli's clear eyes were calm and a little perplexed. He continued, "Currently, I hope that you can focus on your studies. This guy called Zhou Yuchen isn't suitable to be a friend, much less a boyfriend. I believe your father doesn't wish to see you getting too close to this guy either. Do you understand what I mean?"
The atmosphere froze slightly.
Yun Liuli watched as Gu Qingcheng's slender fingers tapped on the dining table nonchalantly. She said, "Uncle Qingcheng, you said that you hope for me to be a normal girl, hoping that I can date a boy of a similar age. But now, you're telling me that you believe my father doesn't wish to see me getting too close to this guy. Uncle Qingcheng, are you the one who doesn't wish for this, or is it my father who doesn't wish for this?"
Yun Liuli looked at Gu Qingcheng calmly as she asked.
She tried to control her racing heart. She hoped to see this day come!
She hoped to see Gu Qingcheng see her with another guy, just as he had hoped. Then, he would feel jealous, sad, and realize that he really loved her … so much so that he couldn't bear to see her with another guy.
Yun Liuli's clear and bright eyes looked straight at Gu Qingcheng. Her gaze was so clear that it seemed as if it could see through a person's heart, causing Gu Qingcheng to panic.
Gu Qingcheng retracted his hand that was tapping on the dining table. He casually picked up the glass of water in front of him and took a sip, saying, "I hope that you can be a normal girl, so I hope that you can find a normal guy. Even Zhong Qingfei is more suitable than this Zhou Yuchen."
Gu Qingcheng's deep and mature voice was still the same, speaking slowly and unhurriedly as if that was really the case …
Her throat moved slightly, but she didn't make a sound. Gu Qingcheng's words made Yun Liuli angry.
"I think Zhou Yuchen is very good!" Yun Liuli clutched her chopsticks tightly, poking at the rice in her bowl. "Moreover, I'm the one in a relationship, not you, Uncle Qingcheng. I think suitability is the most important thing."
Hearing this, Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but frown. He watched as Yun Liuli stuffed a mouthful of rice into her mouth with her chopsticks, and he didn't say anything in the end.
But when he picked up his chopsticks, Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but ask, "Do you really like that Zhou Yuchen?"
Yun Liuli lowered her head and didn't say a word, her pearly white teeth biting on the tip of her chopsticks.
"Answer me!" Gu Qingcheng's frown deepened.
Yun Liuli couldn't say things that went against her heart, but hearing Gu Qingcheng's words did make her feel infuriated. She looked up at Gu Qingcheng and said, "Uncle Qingcheng, you're not young anymore. You should date a woman of your age, get married, and have children!"
Only then would Gu Qingcheng understand that Yun Liuli wasn't their child …
Yun Liuli was returning what Gu Qingcheng had once said to her back to him. Gu Qingcheng couldn't hide his astonished expression in time.
Yun Liuli seemed to have caught hold of Gu Qingcheng's weakness and continued, "Uncle Qingcheng, my feelings for you are abnormal. You're the one who said it! I love you very much, you know!"
While Gu Qingcheng was completely defenseless, Yun Liuli broke through the window paper that Gu Qingcheng and Yun Liuli had put up as if nothing had happened.
"But from the moment I started calling you Uncle Qingcheng, I've already decided not to love you!" Yun Liuli's voice sounded a little choked up.
She wasn't lying to Gu Qingcheng. Previously, after Gu Qingcheng gave Yun Liuli the cold shoulder for close to a year and left her in Haicheng, Yun Liuli had already decided to give up on Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng didn't know how Yun Liuli had torn apart the Gu Qingcheng hidden in her heart time and time again over the countless days and nights, and how she had glued the person in her heart together piece by piece during the day.
It was too painful and too sad, so sad that she couldn't withstand the pain of reincarnation. That was why she decided to give up.
But this thought of giving up was revived because Gu Qingcheng said he would be back on Wednesday.
Yun Liuli was probably the classic example of someone who didn't learn from her mistakes.
No matter how badly she fell into Gu Qingcheng's hands, no matter how much it hurt, when she recovered, she still loved him so much that she couldn't extricate herself.
She looked at Gu Qingcheng. It was hard to tell if it was out of spite or revenge. She said, "I'm trying to save myself, so I chose to date someone of a similar age and work hard to return to the right life. Uncle Qingcheng, no matter how you get involved or ask about me, it's giving me hope! To the current me, if I see any hope that's like a spider's web, I'll sink back into that abnormal relationship again. But Uncle Qingcheng … I've sunk into it. Do you dare to want me?"
Yun Liuli's voice was choked up. "If I return to that abyss, and you don't want me, what should I do? Just be your so-called family for the rest of my life?"
Gu Qingcheng looked at the young lady who had cut her hair short. Her eyes were so determined and calm. Even though her eyes were red, she still held back her tears.
What responded to Yun Liuli was dead silence.
Gu Qingcheng's throat vibrated slightly. Dare to?
Gu Qingcheng had never dared to do anything in his life, but this was the only thing he dared to do!
Yun Liuli was so young and so beautiful. Her future shouldn't be mixed up with his. Even though Gu Qingcheng knew this, he still couldn't control his heart.
When he heard that his young lady had hugged Zhou Yuchen, even though he wasn't willing to admit it, he was jealous of that illegitimate child.
Gu Qingcheng's phone vibrated. To Gu Qingcheng, it was like a savior who could free him from this dreary atmosphere. His gaze swept over the phone on the table, which had lit up.
Gu Qingcheng picked up his phone and acted as if he was about to leave to answer the call. He said to Yun Liuli, "I'll take a call."
"Hello …"
He picked up the call and was about to head to the balcony when Yun Liuli gritted her teeth and put down the chopsticks in her hands. She then jogged over and hugged Gu Qingcheng's narrow waist from behind.
Gu Qingcheng gripped his phone tightly, his body stiff.
"If you don't make things clear, don't leave! You were the one who brought up this topic first. I've answered all your questions, but what about my questions? Are you thinking of using the excuse of answering the call to escape? But Gu Qingcheng … why … why do I have to obey everything you say, yet I'm so stingy that I don't even want to answer my questions!"
On the other end of the line, Lu Jinnan heard Yun Liuli's sobbing voice. He felt a little awkward. "I don't think this call came at the right time. I-I … give me a call later …"
The second …
