Uncle’s eyelashes are so real that if they were to be applied, he would be willing to sell ads for the beauty salon, and it would certainly be a huge success.
But think about it, could any beauty salon afford to have Uncle endorse it not beco popular?
This angle of viewing Gu Beicheng was a first for Xia Yinian.
He’s so tall that she only ever had the chance to look up to him no matter what.
Although they’re almost at the sa height now, he is bent over reading, so it feels like she’s seeing a different side of him.
Xia Yinian even thinks that, at this mont, Uncle seems quite cute, at least not giving her a sense of oppression, not the overwhelming presence he usually has.
Suddenly, she feels sothing is out of place and cos to a sharp realization.
She’s actually admiring Uncle, even finding him cute - how is that possible?
This is the worst man she’s ever t, without a doubt.
Xia Yinian frowns, trying to understand why she’s feeling so out of the ordinary.
Previously, every ti he appeared, he was like a walking central air conditioner.
The kind that wouldn’t stop until everyone else was frozen over.
But today, no, at this mont, he seems sowhat gentler.
At least, he didn’t scare her outright.
Xia Yinian is a bit astonished, she and Brother Ling had just interacted, and Uncle should have seen it, but he isn’t angry?
It’s not that she thinks too highly of herself, but for a man with such strong possessiveness, he naturally wouldn’t want his woman to have any physical contact with other n.
Regardless, she is still the woman he wants to possess, otherwise, he wouldn’t have shown up here, right?
In the entire Gu Family, this was the only room that gave her a bit of space. Xia Yinian didn’t know where else she could hide.
She sighs softly, her indifferent voice breaking the silence.
"I’m going to rest now, please leave."
"To win the Alchemy Competition, just reading these books won’t be enough." The man on the bed raises his gaze to look at the girl standing there.
eting his eyes, Xia Yinian’s first thought is to quickly avoid his gaze.
She can’t bear to look into his eyes; they easily bewilder and could even cause her to lose herself.
Xia Yinian knows she is helpless, but in front of Uncle, it’s really hard for her to stay strong.
She bows her head, furrowing her brows.
Did this guy co over not to take advantage of her but to help her instead?
But when has Uncle ever made such a losing deal?
For soone like him, it’s impossible.
"I know I can’t rely solely on reading books. Tomorrow, I’ll go back to school and perform all the required trials."
Xia Yinian knows that if Uncle wants to help, her work would truly be much more effective.
But his compensation is too high a price for her to afford.
"Then do you know that the most skilled in alchemy is not the Yu Family of Ye City, but the Feng Family of Yaoshan?"
Since a different approach makes her more receptive, Gu Beicheng wouldn’t mind too much.
"The Feng Family?" Xia Yinian turns to et his eyes.
Thinking of Grandpa Feng stirs different feelings in her heart.
She wonders how the old man is doing now?
Occasionally in her dreams, she sees Grandpa Feng’s lonely figure, followed by a subtle ache in her heart.
Xia Yinian cannot describe what kind of feeling it is, she just can’t put it into words.
In any case, when she does not think about it, it’s fine, but once she does, her heart aches and she misses him terribly.
