Shih Lei tried hard to convince himself not to have those selfish thoughts.
But he couldn’t hold back.
Gu Shengyin looked at him with his head drooping and a downcast expression, like a big dog desperately in need of its owner’s comfort, silently suppressing the urge to ruffle his furry head.
This man, why is he acting like a child, sulking at the slightest disagreent?
Gu Shengyin thought sowhat distressedly, sigh, it seems that in the future, I need to properly teach him, to make him more spirited.
Otherwise, it’s fine in this mountain village, but once we go to Tianze Capital City, won’t he be toyed to death by those aristocrats skilled in mind gas?
She just asked curiously, "Big Brother Shih, what’s wrong?"
Shih Lei had been walking silently with his head lowered, but suddenly lifted his head when he heard Gu Shengyin’s words.
He stared closely at Gu Shengyin’s face, his mind swirling with various thoughts.
He really wanted to voice those unspeakable thoughts hidden deep in his heart, but he didn’t dare.
He feared she would despise him, sneeringly scold him for being a toad lusting after a swan.
But at the sa ti, he couldn’t help it.
Now, with just the two of them in this dense forest with no one else around, her eyes held only him.
Shih Lei’s lips moved, and he finally voiced his thoughts: "I was thinking, when Ah Luan regains her mory, she’ll leave this place. I... I can’t bear it."
After saying this, as if trying to avoid sothing, he quickly lowered his head.
He didn’t dare to look at Gu Shengyin’s expression, nor was he daring enough to listen to what she might say next.
Yet, his heart pounded faster, and his ears perked up involuntarily, waiting for her reaction.
Gu Shengyin was stunned for a mont, seemingly not expecting him to say such words.
In her mind, after regaining her mory, she would definitely leave this place, and of course, Shih Lei would leave with her.
She thought too naturally, never considering whether Shih Lei would want to leave the mountains where he grew up to follow her to an entirely unfamiliar place.
It was as if a bucket of ice water lted in her heart, suddenly clearing Gu Shengyin’s mind.
Her voice also cooled down: "So Big Brother Shih never planned to leave with ?"
Shih Lei raised his head in a bit of a daze: "...Huh?"
This look made Gu Shengyin even more certain of her suspicion: he never thought of leaving with her at all.
The irritation in her heart surged, and Gu Shengyin felt very agitated.
But Shih Lei’s gaze gradually brightened.
Ah Luan ant that he could leave with her?
Why didn’t he think of that? Ah Luan wouldn’t stay; he could leave with her!
He had no other demands, as long as he could quietly stay by her side, watch over her, and protect her.
When Gu Shengyin raised her head again, she saw his face flushed with excitent, looking at her with burning eyes.
Gu Shengyin: "..." What just happened?
Shih Lei looked at her, his eyes bright: "Can I leave here with Ah Luan?"
When he said this, his tone was of uncontrollable excitent, as if "leaving with Ah Luan" was sothing truly worth celebrating for him.
Looking at Shih Lei like this, Gu Shengyin suddenly understood.
It turned out, it was her own thinking that had never aligned with his.
