Under Xiao Chen's gaze, Gu Yu walked gracefully to Xiao Chen's side and sat down with Xiao Chen. Then, he turned his head to look at Xiao Chen boldly and pleaded softly, "Mister Xiao Chen, can you accompany Gu Yu for a chat?"
"Chat? Now? " Xiao Chen was slightly stunned. He touched his nose subconsciously and felt that it was inappropriate. However, when he saw Gu Yu's expectant gaze and pleading expression, his heart softened. He nodded his head gently and said, "Alright, I don't know what you want to talk about. I'm not good at chatting."
"Anything is fine," Gu Yu was delighted when he heard that Xiao Chen had agreed to it. He hurriedly continued what Xiao Chen had said, "Why don't you tell me your story of growing up in the Wasteland?"
"My story of growing up?"
Xiao Chen's expression became a little strange. He had just recalled all the bits and pieces of his life in the Wasteland. Now that Gu Yu suddenly mentioned this topic, could it be that Gu Yu could read minds? He secretly shook his head and felt that it was unlikely. Hence, he tried to tell his story.
"My memory of living in the Wasteland started when I was around five years old. At that time, my grandfather and I lived in the periphery of the Wasteland. Other than hunting, my grandfather taught me how to strengthen my body, cultivate, and practice swordsmanship. He often brought me to hunt wild beasts and wild beasts. In the beginning, my grandfather taught me how to fight wild beasts and wild beasts. Later on, he let me fight wild beasts while he watched and protected me …"
"As I grew older, I became stronger and more familiar with the Wasteland. When I was eight years old, I could fight wild boars, wild dogs, forest wolves, and other wild beasts alone. At that time, my grandfather rarely protected me. He said that a man should learn to be independent and brave. He let me find ways to hunt wild beasts and wild beasts by myself …"
Living in the Wasteland for more than ten years, I almost died from the attacks of wild beasts and wild beasts many times. However, when I woke up from my coma, the first thing I saw was my grandfather's kind face and admiring gaze. At that time, I realized that my grandfather had not given up on protecting me. He had been watching and protecting me secretly. As long as my life was not in danger, even if I was seriously injured, he would not easily help me. His purpose was to let me learn self-reliance and self-protection. He wanted me to become stronger and stronger in battles of life and death, as well as to develop a keen perception and powerful combat power like wild beasts … "
In one breath, Xiao Chen told his story of growing up for nearly the time it took to burn a stick of incense. As the listener, Gu Yu listened to Xiao Chen's particularly dangerous and heartwarming story of growing up. She gradually became engrossed in the story. She felt like she was in the story himself. In the end, she was so moved that she cried.
When Xiao Chen heard Gu Yu's crying, he stopped telling his story. He looked at Gu Yu who was crying with surprise and asked in confusion, "Sister Gu Yu, why are you crying? Are you thinking of something sad? "
"I …"
Gu Yu did not know how to answer him. She wiped away the tears on her face in embarrassment. After thinking for a while, she said softly, "I am touched by the fact that you have such a good grandfather. Gu Yu did not have any relatives since I was young. I was a child that no one wanted. If it were not for Sister Qingmei who took me in ten years ago, I would still be a beggar now."
"Uh … I see." After listening to Gu Yu's answer, Xiao Chen deeply sympathized with Gu Yu's suffering when she was young. When he thought that he had a kind grandfather, he secretly rejoiced and comforted Gu Yu.
"Sister Gu Yu, don't be too sad. Let bygones be bygones. Don't you still have so many good sisters now? There is always a gain and a loss, right?"
"Yes, yes." Gu Yu nodded her head twice in agreement. She looked at Xiao Chen with her delicate eyes and said gratefully, "Mister Xiao Chen, thank you for talking to me for so long. Thank you for comforting me. You are a good man."
"A good man?"
When Xiao Chen heard Gu Yu praising him, he was slightly stunned. Then, he felt a little embarrassed and said in a strange tone, "What kind of good man am I? I can't save my grandfather, I can't protect my beloved woman. I'm more like a failed man …"
"Mister Xiao Chen, please don't think so. You are countless times better than any other man." Gu Yu anxiously interrupted Xiao Chen's words. She looked at Xiao Chen with eyes full of admiration. Suddenly, her expression became shy and her eyes were like water. She plucked up her courage and said softly, "Mister Xiao Chen, I like you. Can you accept Gu Yu like how you accept Sister Qingmei?"
"Ah?"
Even though Gu Yu's last sentence was spoken in a low voice, Xiao Chen heard every single word clearly. Xiao Chen was dumbfounded. He stared at Gu Yu, who had a bashful look on her face. After a while, he was sure that he was not hallucinating, and he finally believed that Gu Yu was confessing to him.
That's right!
The beautiful Gu Yu was confessing to Xiao Chen, a man who already had four peerless beauties! He did not expect Gu Yu to be so bold. She finally decided not to have a crush on Xiao Chen. Instead, she was destined to pursue Xiao Chen. This shocked Xiao Chen.
Seeing Gu Yu's shy expression, Xiao Chen knew that she was not joking. His heart was in turmoil. He did not hate Gu Yu. If he hated gentle and beautiful women, then there must be something wrong with his brain. However, he could not accept Gu Yu. He already had four women, which was enough.
Moreover, he still had the mood and energy to accept other women. He did not have the ability to give so many women happiness. Now that Su Qingyi was in trouble, the other three women had to live a secluded life on the island for the sake of their safety.
He had to make Gu Yu give up this terrible idea. Xiao Chen made a decision in his heart. Therefore, he said with a serious face, "Sister Gu Yu, I have always treated you as my sister. So, I will only take what you said just now as a joke between siblings. Please understand …"
"It's okay. I know that you will not accept me, but I still want to say what's in my heart. I like you. Since the first time I saw you, I have fallen in love with you. However, because of Sister Qingmei, I have been burying this secret in my heart …"
Gu Yu seemed to have expected that Xiao Chen would reject her decisively. Apart from the disappointment in her eyes, she did not do anything extreme. She would not do something boring like threatening Xiao Chen with death. Only a stupid woman would force Xiao Chen to accept her. That would only make Xiao Chen hate her and stay away from her.
"This …" Xiao Chen listened quietly to Gu Yu's confession and felt a little touched. However, being touched did not mean that he loved her. Reality did not allow him to accept another kind girl. Right now, he was feeling very guilty towards his four women. It was hard for him to give them happiness, but he still accepted them. This was unfair to them. Xiao Chen felt a little guilty towards them.
