Are you really willing to accept this?
"I like you, but there are many other people I like, and you are just one of them."
Human beings are essentially just repeaters.
Even though Gu Yuqiu had long since transcended and was once a true god, she still had her origins, and those origins were humankind.
Besides, she is a human being now.
Since that's the case, repeating what you said won't cause any psychological barriers, especially since it's the best answer.
Lin Mushi had no rebuttal and asked angrily, "So you don't think you have a problem?"
"What does this have to do with me?"
Gu Yuqiu looked at her and said, "It's their business if others like me. Why should I change myself because of their feelings?"
Lin Mushi replied without hesitation, "You can refuse!"
The topic has come to this point, and whether it's just sophistry or not, things are definitely getting complicated.
However, for Gu Yuqiu, this was an extremely simple problem.
She responded quickly, without the slightest hesitation, because she said the same thing again.
"I like you, but there are many other people I like, and you are just one of them."
The two repetitions within a short period of time are, of course, because two seemingly disparate issues actually point to the same core problem.
Why did you accept it?
So Gu Yuqiu gave the same answer three times.
Because I like it, I don't care, and therefore I can accept it.
Lin Mushi remained silent for a long time, then laughed and said with emotion, "It seems that our prenuptial agreement cannot be signed."
Gu Yuqiu nodded and said, "I respect your decision."
Lin Mushi wasn't surprised, but she still felt a little regretful. She smiled and said, "So what's the reason behind this?"
Gu Yuqiu thought to herself, "How can this make any sense?"
It's nothing more than greed.
Isn't the pursuit of beautiful things just human nature?
"Thank you."
Lin Mushi paused for a moment, then continued, "These three words are not sarcastic, but sincere, even though I'm annoyed with you right now."
Gu Yuqiu didn't try to read her mind, and asked, "What are you thanking me for?"
Lin Mushi said slowly, "Your repetition of the same sentence three times reminded me of something, or more precisely, a word: like."
"You like it?" Gu Yuqiu glanced at her.
Lin Mushi nodded and explained earnestly, "There are indeed many things you can like. For example, I like a certain dress because it's sexy, but I also like another dress because it makes me look innocent."
The principle is that simple, it couldn't be more obvious.
If someone only likes one thing and has no other interest, that would be too terrible.
"But love should be different."
Lin Mushi said earnestly, "My mother also has many favorites, but the only person she loves is me. This is something unique."
Gu Yuqiu nodded, probably in agreement.
Lin Mushi stopped looking at her, picked up the cup of milk tea that had been slightly warmed, and, unusually ladylike, drank it in several sips instead of drinking it all at once.
She put down her cup, smiled, and said, "That's all for today."
Gu Yuqiu said, "No need to see me out."
Upon hearing this, Lin Mushi turned to look out the window, trying to find that figure in the vast crowd, but she couldn't find her. She said regretfully, "I thought she was there."
The "she" in the conversation naturally refers to Su Yan.
Gu Yuqiu thought to herself, "Her temper is as fierce as the west wind. How can you possibly appease her with just an apology?"
"Anyway, I still want to thank you."
Lin Mushi withdrew her gaze, stood up, looked down at Gu Yuqiu, and said seriously, "No matter what the future holds, at least I have a clear goal now."
Logically speaking, given Gu Yuqiu's usual bad temper and style, she would never have responded to such a remark. Most likely, she would have just smiled slightly and then annoyed him.
Strangely enough, she asked the question today.
"What goal?"
Gu Yuqiu's tone was very gentle.
Lin Mushi was taken aback when she actually asked the question. She lowered her head without warning and whispered, "To make you... fall in love with me, because liking isn't enough."
Gu Yuqiu said softly, "Then I won't wish you well."
Lin Mushi thought to herself, what kind of strange talk is this? You shouldn't have said anything about blessing me in the first place. What kind of logic is it to bless yourself for falling in love with someone else?
Her thoughts were a bit jumbled, and her cheeks suddenly felt hot. She subconsciously picked up the teacup in front of her, wanting to take a sip to cover up her embarrassment, but she forgot that she had already finished the milk tea.
Her hand holding the teacup stiffened slightly, and after a moment she casually put the cup down and said, "Then I'll be going."
After saying that, she turned around faster than she ever had in her life, forcibly suppressing the urge to run, and strode towards the coffee shop door...
That familiar voice reached her ears and kept her there.
"and many more."
"what?"
Lin Mushi took a deep breath, turned to look at her, and smiled slightly, her feelings unclear, and asked, "Is there something you need?"
Gu Yuqiu didn't explain, but simply pushed the cup in front of her toward the edge of the table.
Lin Mushi froze, her eyes catching sight of a few remaining specks of milky white in another empty cup. Her face flushed red, and she asked in a trembling voice, "What do you mean by this?"
Gu Yuqiu seemed oblivious to her odd behavior and said, "I don't want to be accused of poor hospitality."
Lin Mushi thought to herself, "What kind of talk is this?"
Even the most suspicious person like Lu Xiu would never have such a thought; it was utterly absurd and inexplicable.
Thinking this, she still reached out and picked up the cup, carefully took a sip, savoring the bitterness without tasting it.
Gu Yuqiu's voice rang out again.
"Oh, right."
She looked at Lin Mushi, a slight smile playing on her lips, and said, "I just had this coffee."
Lin Mushi paused for a moment, making sure she hadn't misheard, and asked with slight annoyance, "What are you thinking? Don't you find it strange?"
They had just had a cold conversation not long ago, discussing those annoying issues that made you want to yell at them...
And then this happened the next moment?
"I've already said, I don't want to be accused of poor hospitality."
Gu Yuqiu explained.
Her tone remained flat and even, as if she were truly giving an explanation.
Lin Mushi said irritably, "Who's dissatisfied?"
Gu Yuqiu's answer was still very concise, consisting of only one word.
"you."
"……I?"
Lin Mushi finally couldn't stand her lunaticism any longer and chuckled, asking, "What if I'm still not satisfied?"
Gu Yuqiu did not answer.
She stood up, met the curious gazes of the people in the coffee shop, and reached out to hug Lin Mushi.
The next moment, she lowered her head and kissed him.
It all happened so fast that there was no time to react.
Lin Mushi was stunned.
She only slowly came to her senses when the exclamations around her came. She gently licked her lips with the tip of her tongue, savoring the taste, her feelings extremely complicated.
Gu Yuqiu casually released her, a satisfied smile on her face, and nodded, saying, "It's quite sweet."
Chapter 118: Chapter 116 Loudly Conspiring
Lin Mushi is gone.
At the fastest speed she had ever seen in her life, she covered her face, no longer caring about her manners, and rushed out of the coffee shop in a panic.
At the same time, Gu Yuqiu picked up the cup of coffee and slowly took a sip.
Then, she looked at the empty cup and muttered to herself, "Milk tea is still easier to drink than coffee."
After saying this, she closed her eyes and let out a weary sigh.
She'd been slacking off these past few days, playing games now and then, and occasionally mocking Crimson. Today, though things seemed to be going much the same, it was still making her feel really tired.
Now that I have some free time, even if it's just for a short while, it's a happy thing.
Yesterday's battle was indeed something she hadn't planned for.
If Lin Mushi wasn't really going to die and she wasn't the only one who could survive, why would she risk being exposed to personally save her... and end up getting slapped in the face?
Although Su Yan was extremely angry at the time, she eventually covered up those traces for her and took the blame herself, but some things can never be hidden.
Then she definitely needs to go.
