Chapter 1425: Chapter 614 Congratulations, Lin Baici, on becoming the youngest Dragon Wing in the Nine States!
Outside the window, lights sparkled across countless hos; inside, the aroma of dishes lingered in the air.
“Do you want to do sothing for him?”
Lin Baici could sense a hint of sadness in Gu Qingxiang’s mood.
“Yes!”
Gu Qingxiang took another sip of red wine. She usually didn’t touch this sort of thing.
“Then go ahead and do it!”
To Lin Baici, whatever Gu Qingxiang wanted to do probably involved giving her friend’s family so money or taking better care of them.
“Yes!”
Gu Qingxiang nodded. She didn’t know who had killed Li Luyou, but she had a rough idea — the Haijing Security Bureau. After all, besides those God Hunters, no one else had such capabilities.
Though there was a formidable woman in that organization, Gu Qingxiang wasn’t afraid of her.
“But Qingxiang, losing a friend hurts, I understand. I just want to say, it’s okay to be sad for a few days, but don’t let yourself stay trapped in this mood forever!”
Lin Baici’s dark, expressive eyes looked at Gu Qingxiang. “It’s not just about friends. The sa sentint applies to family too. Those who have passed are gone for good; they won’t feel anything anymore. The ones who are still alive shouldn’t let this kind of loss ss up their own lives!”
“Qingxiang, my mom once told that if she were to die, I shouldn’t spend my ti mourning for her. Instead, I should use all my energy and focus on finding ways to live a better life!”
“That way, she’d feel more at ease!”
Lin Baici comforted her, “I think your friend would also want you to move forward and find happiness!”
Gu Qingxiang lowered her head and stared at her red wine glass, pondering Lin Baici’s words.
“Walking through life alone for decades, you et so people, and you lose so. So leave because they’ve passed away, and others because they couldn’t keep up with your pace.”
Lin Baici sipped his red wine. “Those who held umbrellas for , those who walked through the rain with — I rember them all. And then?”
“When they leave my side, I look back. What do I see?”
Gu Qingxiang raised an eyebrow and lifted her gaze to Lin Baici. “What do you see?”
“I see them smiling and waving goodbye to !”
A gentle curve appeared on Lin Baici’s lips. “I imagine they’re calling out to , ‘Baici, go take a look at the scenery ahead. We can’t see it anymore, so look at it for us too!'”
Lin Baici reached out and held Gu Qingxiang’s hand. “Qingxiang, I’ll stay with you, until you’re sick of and want to leave.”
Gu Qingxiang looked into Lin Baici’s deeply affectionate eyes. Her heart skipped inexplicably, and her face grew warm, as if she were coming down with a fever.
This feeling was so strange!
“I won’t get sick of you!”
Gu Qingxiang said this with a serious tone.
Lin Baici smiled. “But I might change, you know, maybe into soone you’ll hate.”
Gu Qingxiang thought about it seriously, then reaffird, “I still won’t get sick of you!”
“Qingxiang, if you say it like that, I might take advantage of it!”
Lin Baici teased her.
“Haha!”
Gu Qingxiang laughed, finishing the rest of her wine in one go before setting the glass down on the table.
Just as Lin Baici said, it was ti to put this matter to rest!
Originally, Gu Qingxiang had planned to storm the headquarters of the Haijing Security Bureau, create a huge ss, and take down everyone there. But now, she had given up on that idea.
A little dose of divine shock to them would suffice.
Didn’t Li Luyou love playing video gas?
Maybe in her free ti, she could play a few extra rounds for him?
“Qingxiang, give a bank account number!”
Lin Baici placed so food onto Gu Qingxiang’s plate with his chopsticks.
“For what?”
Gu Qingxiang didn’t understand.
“I’ll transfer you so money!”
Lin Baici wasn’t sure how much a counselor at Haijing Polytechnic earned.
But he suspected it wasn’t much!
“No need!”
Gu Qingxiang refused. “I have money!”
“Do you have enough money to feed until I’m fat?”
Lin Baici had long wanted to give Gu Qingxiang money to spend and saw this as the perfect opportunity. “Qingxiang, don’t stand on ceremony with . I’m far richer than you think.”
“Previously, you said you didn’t need a car. Otherwise, I would’ve bought you one already!”
Dealing with a woman like Gu Qingxiang, whose material desires were minimal, was a bit of a headache for Lin Baici. He almost wished she were more like Su Manni, who at least could enjoy spending money freely.
“I seriously don’t need it!”
If it weren’t for Lin Baici moving in here, Gu Qingxiang wouldn’t have even bothered cooking in the past. She bought groceries largely as a form of cover for her identity.
“Don’t you realize that for a man, spending money on the woman he likes is also a kind of accomplishnt?”
Lin Baici urged her, “Co on, give your account number!”
Gu Qingxiang was persuaded and recited a string of numbers to him.
“Now that’s more like it!”
Lin Baici opened his banking app and initiated the transfer.
Shortly after, Gu Qingxiang received a bank SMS alert notifying her of a transfer — one million.
As a counselor, she had no real concept of such an amount, so her reaction was calm.
Seeing that Gu Qingxiang remained unfazed, Lin Baici let out a sigh of relief. He had been worried she’d overthink it and refuse the money, in which case he might’ve transferred even more.
After dinner, Gu Qingxiang prepared a fruit platter for Lin Baici, then went to wash the dishes. Once she finished, she grabbed a copy of *A Brief History of Ti* and sat on the sofa to read.
Lin Baici sat at the other end of the sofa, skewering an apple chunk with a toothpick and tossing it into his mouth with satisfaction.
This was the kind of atmosphere!
Absolutely perfect!
Neither of them spoke, but the living room was far from awkwardly silent; instead, it was filled with a warm, harmonious understanding. At nine o’clock, Gu Qingxiang glanced up at the clock on the wall, got up, and put on her jacket.
“Are you heading out?”
Lin Baici stood up, ready to accompany Gu Qingxiang.
“I’m just taking out the trash.”
