Chapter 123 Poison
Gu Qing looked down and saw that Li Shiying's hands were white and tender, with long and slender fingers. Even through the clothes, he could clearly feel the softness and warmth of her palms.

But soon, this softness turned into stiffness bit by bit, as if what she touched was not Gu Qing's chest, but a piece of ice. Wisps of invisible white mist diffused and drifted out, penetrating into Li Shiying's palm, freezing her flesh and bone marrow.

Gu Qing thought.

If only Li Shiying were Jesus.

In that case, there would be a hole in her hand, reducing the contact area, and she wouldn't feel so stiff as if she had been electrocuted when she touched his chest.

Those who laugh do not need to deduct 1 point from their merits because they are not under Jesus' jurisdiction.

Li Shiying's reaction was completely within Gu Qing's expectations, and even more satisfying than he had imagined.

Li Shiying cares a lot about his chastity, or rather, all women in this world care about it.

Otherwise, Li Shiying would not have been in love with him for so long, and apart from kissing, there was no further intimate contact.

Lin Yuwei would not have shown such shock, guilt and joy after knowing that night was his first time.

However, was this because Li Shiying was conservative about premarital sex, or was it because he was not yet 18 years old and was law-abiding?

There is no answer now.

It doesn't matter anymore.

Gu Qing only knew one thing.

I should have stopped Li Shiying and pretended that what happened between them had never happened, and started all over again.

She has one and only one choice.

Either accept the agreement and get back together with him, even if there is a time limit, it is always better than dreaming about it day and night.

Either reject the agreement and continue her pestering.

But Gu Qing felt that Li Shiying would most likely choose the former.

Think of it another way: isn't this a chance for your dream to come true?
This is still an old topic.

The dog-licking behavior of most people stems from insufficient contact and communication with the opposite sex.

Does distance produce beauty?
No, it's the distance that creates illusion.

Just like on the Internet, when you hear a nice voice, you will imagine that the owner of the voice has an equally good-looking face.

The same goes for having a great figure.

This is why the longer an online relationship lasts, the more likely it is that the relationship will end in failure in person.

Unless you are perfect, how can you possibly surpass the increasingly beautiful fantasy in other people's minds?
Just like Lin Yuwei’s nostalgia for her junior high school days, Sun Yunzhao is just an anchor and a sustenance.

But even if she really likes Sun Yunzhao, she might not go any further.

Lin Yuwei knew very well what she wanted. Even if she was recalling a certain person, it was that person from that period. Time and person were both indispensable. She would not transfer her memories to different years or different people.

But not everyone is as rational as Lin Yuwei.

Then active demystification is another option.

Gu Qing once thought seriously about whether Li Shiying’s reluctance to leave him was really love?
Of course there are some, but it’s not just guilt, regret, sunk costs… there are many other factors that have led to the entanglement between Li Shiying and him.

Then the solution to the problem becomes obvious: just reduce these factors.

A cool, clean and pretty face suddenly appeared in Gu Qing's mind, and a gentle smile flashed in his eyes.

He has been trained by Xiao Yuzhu to develop efficient problem-solving thinking.

If Teacher Xiao were here and looked at him, the score would probably be increased by a few points, right?
Gu Qing looked back at Li Shiying again.

She still said nothing, her pale face filled with dullness and confusion.

"If you are still hesitant..." Gu Qing continued to smile, "Then you can try sleeping for a night before deciding whether to sign the agreement."

"For the sake of the fact that we were once lovers."

Gu Qing knew what he was talking about. Every move and word he made was carefully planned.

This is not a self-protection mechanism after the defense is breached.

He had already broken through the defense.

He is really calm now.

This is professionalism at its purest.

Only the more despicable and depraved one is can stimulate Li Shiying.

"I sign..."

Finally, Li Shiying uttered these two words from her cherry lips, causing Song Ruoli and Ji Yanyan to change their expressions.

They had seen Li Shiying's helpless look once before.

But he could actually witness once again the feeling of having all the strength drained from her body.

After saying that, Li Shiying stayed there again.

Did she agree? She really agreed...

Agreeing to Gu Qing's ridiculous request put their relationship on the wrong track again. Before they even set out, she could already vaguely see the end of this road.

It is an abyss as black as ink.

But what can she do?

Reason told her not to agree, otherwise she would repeat the same mistake, but instinct had already urged her to reach out and grab the life-saving straw.

This is the desire to survive.

Yes, after she left Gu Qing, she no longer had any expectations or desires for tomorrow. Everything she did was for one goal.

Look for the review.

And now, Gu Qing was found back, but not in the way she wanted.

Li Shiying's beautiful eyes were suddenly filled with confusion, and her indifference to the future turned into disgust and even fear.

What will happen to her?
The next moment, Li Shiying felt a hand suddenly on her cheek. She came to her senses and realized that her face was already wet without her noticing. What Gu Qing was doing was to gently wipe away the tears on her face with his fingertips and palms.

Li Shiying looked into Gu Qing's eyes. He noticed her gaze and looked over as well. The two looked at each other and she saw the gentleness in Gu Qing's eyes. It was really gentle...

Li Shiying's breathing stagnated slightly, and she seemed to have fallen into Gu Qing's eyes, about to drown under his gaze. Even the movements of his hands were so gentle, as if he was treating a fragile, precious piece of porcelain.

This was a feeling that Li Shiying had never experienced before when they were in love.

In just that instant, Li Shiying's regret for agreeing to sign the agreement suddenly dissipated a lot.

Humans are indeed fickle animals.

Li Shiying thought.

She couldn't even empathize with herself from just a few seconds ago.

"Sister, don't cry." Gu Qing said softly, with a hint of lingering allure in his tone.

"Don't call me sister..." Li Shiying opened her pink lips and hesitated for a moment, "Call me Shiying."

"Shiying."

Gu Qing followed suit without any hesitation.

Li Shiying suddenly raised her jade hand and tightly grasped Gu Qing's hand on her face, feeling the touch and tenderness of his skin almost greedily, not caring at all how ridiculous her appearance would be in the eyes of others.

Because Li Shiying herself thinks she is ridiculous.

She clearly felt that her consciousness seemed to be split into two, one half happy and the other half painful.

Enjoy the present within your sight and suffer in the dark and gloomy future.

The past dies in every tearful night.

Li Shiying's mouth was slightly curved, as if she was smiling, but more and more tears flowed from her eyes. She choked and gasped: "Qingqing, I can't stop it, I feel so uncomfortable..."

She finally expressed her inner feelings to Gu Qing again.

Aboveboard.

"Since you can't stop it, just cry it out."

Gu Qing also placed his other hand on Li Shiying's face, and then his face gradually enlarged in front of her eyes, making her subconsciously close her eyes, and then open them in an instant.

The moment she agreed to sign the agreement, it seemed as if a countdown had begun between her and Gu Qing. She wanted to seize every second to look at him carefully and not let herself regret it.

Then, Li Shiying felt a burst of warmth, and Gu Qing gently kissed away the tears on her face with his lips.

Li Shiying's beautiful eyes widened little by little, and her tears stopped.

She was surprised and happy, and in her happiness she couldn't help but wonder, besides her, had Gu Qing done the same thing to other women?

Li Shiying wanted to be angry, but she couldn't. Her emotions had already exceeded a threshold and exploded. Apart from passively accepting Gu Qing's tenderness, she couldn't muster any emotion at all.

That's all.

So be it.

At least for now, let her enjoy this time.

It'll be fine in a moment.

Li Shiying slowly closed her beautiful eyes.

This is a somewhat beautiful scene.

The boy held the girl's cheeks with both hands and kissed away the crystal tears on her face with care.

If there weren't two people next to him.

Song Ruoli watched this scene silently, with an inexplicable emotion in her peach blossom eyes.

What she saw was not a scene beautiful enough to be painted, but two puppets hugging each other.

Under Gu Qing's tight pressure, Li Shiying was close to collapse.

"Shiying."

Song Ruoli spoke lightly, waking up Li Shiying. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, revealing a pair of red, hazy eyes looking at Song Ruoli.

Song Ruoli had her back to Gu Qing, her lips opening and closing but her words were silent.

Boom!

Thunder roared, and the whole world outside the balcony became bright for a moment.

Li Shiying's pupils shrank.

Yes.

How could she fall into such a gentle place?
It has nothing to do with transience, nor with falsehood.

Now that she has a suitable identity, she can't just watch Gu Qing destroy herself.

Li Shiying immediately stopped Gu Qing's actions, grabbed his shoulders with both hands, and kept some distance between them.

"What's wrong?" Gu Qing smiled and his voice was as soft as the wind.

Li Shiying was in a trance for a moment. She just sniffed lightly, and before she tasted it, she realized what kind of poison Gu Qing was now, but he tempted her to continue with it happily.

Li Shiying shook her head and said softly, "Qingqing, can you let Ruoli ask you a few questions?"

Gu Qing's smile froze slightly: "Shiying, I'm not sick, I'm fine."

With just one sentence, he instantly understood what Li Shiying meant.

"Gu Qing, I didn't express myself properly. You are not sick. I just want to ask you a few questions, okay?"

Song Ruoli also came over and stood beside Li Shiying, and the two good sisters completely returned to their original relationship.

Gu Qing pursed her lips, nodded slightly, and smiled reluctantly: "Okay..."

Suddenly, he broke free from Li Shiying's arms and looked at Song Ruoli and Li Shiying.

"I told you, I'm not sick!"
