Chapter 209 I Just Want to Know You Better.
On the rooftop of the hotel, Gu Xulin stood by the guardrail facing the wind and looked down at the scenery outside the town. The car that the people who were waiting for the New Year had already left the town, but Gu Xulin was still staring at the direction where the car disappeared, as if he was thinking about something.
"I originally thought that you would carefully design a Hongmen Banquet to catch them all in one fell swoop, and then snatch Shousui from He Ci. I didn't expect you to be so cowardly and let He Ci take Shousui away like this." Xi Yan, who was standing nearby, looked at the direction where the Shousui people disappeared, and the man couldn't help but sneered.
"Aren't you humans determined to never give up until you achieve your goal? Why are you willing to let go now? Have you finally realized your own incompetence? Do you know you can't compete with He Ci so you give up on your own initiative? Or is your love for Shousui just this much?" Xi Yan tilted her head to glance at Gu Xulin, a playful arc rising at the corner of her mouth.
"You said I'm a coward?" Gu Xulin retracted his gaze and turned to stare at the system beside him. Looking at Xi Yan's arrogant and cold face, he couldn't help but sneer, "Oh, aren't you more cowardly than me? You clearly like someone in your heart but you don't even have the courage to tell him, and you let him misunderstand you like that?"
Gu Xulin turned sideways and looked at him, "You always say that I don't understand, and I really don't understand. You obviously like Xuan Sang, so why did you ask me to deal with his host Shou Sui? You even let Xuan Sang misunderstand that you like Tian Qing? Now even all of us think that you like Tian Qing."
He suddenly took out a braid as thick as a little finger from his system backpack. A red headband was tied around the dark hair. Gu Xulin looked at the thing in his palm and asked Xi Yan with certainty, "Is this Xuan Sang's thing?"
After hearing Gu Xulin's words, the slightly playful expression on Xi Yan's face suddenly froze for a moment, and then turned into a look of astonishment mixed with a hint of panic.
When Xi Yan saw what was in Gu Xulin's hand, she frowned and immediately snatched it back, scolding him with an unhappy look, "Who allowed you to touch my things!"
Seeing Xi Yan so nervous about the braid, Gu Xulin understood that he was right. If he hadn't happened to meet Tian Qing today and found that Tian Qing had blue hair, combined with the details Xi Yan had told Xuan Sang before, Gu Xulin would not have been sure of this conclusion. He didn't expect that his system - Xi Yan's thoughts were so hidden.
Xi Yan carefully checked whether the braid was dirty before putting it away cautiously. Then the man stared at Gu Xulin with cold eyes, suddenly grabbed his neck and pushed him against the guardrail which was more than one meter high.
Gu Xulin's lower back slammed into the concrete guardrail, and his slender neck was tightly clamped by a big hand. Gu Xulin's entire upper body was almost pushed out by Xi Yan and hung in the air. He subconsciously grabbed the guardrail under him to stabilize his center of gravity. Behind him was a height of ten floors. If he fell down, he would be either dead or disabled.
Xi Yan's palm tightened inch by inch, pinching Gu Xulin's face gradually reddening. The man looked angry and glared at the host in front of him with cold eyes, "Did I ever say that it's none of your business, don't ask too much!"
Whether in the Fantasy God Realm or here, Xi Yan has never revealed his feelings in front of outsiders except telling his closest friend about the person he loves. Even the closest tribesmen around him all think that he likes Tian Qing.
When the host revealed his deep-seated feelings for someone, Xi Yan was indeed quite surprised that a human could see through his thoughts.
He didn't know how Gu Xulin analyzed and came to the conclusion that "he likes Xuan Sang" and revealed it, but the other party's arrogant attitude of seeing through everything made Xi Yan very unhappy.
A human being as insignificant as an ant thought that he could see through his mind and use it to make fun of him? Humph, ridiculous!
However, Gu Xulin, who had no intention of making fun of the system but was wronged by the system more than Dou E, was gradually feeling his head swelling and having difficulty breathing. He freed his hand that was holding the guardrail and grabbed Xi Yan's wrist to pull her away, but the other party was stronger than him, and no matter how hard he pulled, he could not loosen that big hand at all.
The air coming in through his mouth and nose became less and less each time. Gu Xulin explained with difficulty, "I just want to know everything about you."
"Oh," Xi Yan sneered, "If you have the time to spare, you might as well focus on your training and think about how to improve your strength to surpass He Ci, defeat He Ci, and strive to make Shou Sui look at you differently as soon as possible. By then, will you still be worried about not being able to snatch the person you love, or not having a chance?"
"The beloved?" After hearing the system's words instigating him to compete with He Ci, Gu Xulin suddenly laughed. He looked at Xi Yan. There was a faint burning light in Gu Xulin's deep eyes, which were as calm as a pool of stagnant water, and the man in front of him was reflected in the aperture.
"After you bind to a human, can't you read the host's mind? If you read my mind once, you should know that the person living inside has always been you, Xi Yan, not Shou Sui or anyone else."
The compression of his vocal cords made Gu Xulin's voice a little hoarse, but he still spoke every word clearly.
Xi Yan's cold expression flashed with surprise, but it was soon replaced by annoyance. The man tightened his grip a little more and looked at Gu Xulin with disdain, "You are just a mortal, what qualifications do you have to covet this seat?"
A mere human ant dared to have improper thoughts about him! It would have been fine if Gu Xulin hadn't said anything, but once he expressed his admiration, Xi Yan became even more angry.
Xi Yan felt that being liked by humans was a shame and a blasphemy. Moreover, this person was his bound object. In human terms, Gu Xulin was just a servant who worked hard for Xi Yan! He was not even worthy of carrying his shoes, let alone daring to like him? He had no self-awareness at all.
As Xi Yan increased her strength and tightened her grip, Gu Xulin felt a sense of suffocation.
Perhaps his life was threatened, or perhaps Xi Yan's words irritated him, Gu Xulin clenched Xi Yan's wrist, squeezing it hard until the hand that was pinching his neck showed signs of loosening. He then pulled it down suddenly and spun it towards himself, while his other hand quickly grabbed Xi Yan's hand that was trying to fight back.
In just a moment of taking a breath, Xi Yan was counterattacked by the host, her wrists were grabbed and folded across her chest, and she was restrained in Gu Xulin's arms.
Gu Xulin hugged him from behind, resting his chin on the man's shoulder. He buried his head in Xi Yan's neck and rubbed it, narrowing his eyes and sniffing the man's unique scent. An indescribable fragrance permeated his heart and lungs, making him crazy and unable to restrain himself.
Gu Xulin pressed his thin lips against Xi Yan's ear and whispered, "So what if I'm just a mortal? I still have the power to hold you down!"
