Quick Transmigration: After Fake Death, All the Protagonists I Flirted With Went Crazy

Chapter 119 The Scorching Sun (18 pages)

Gu Yao saw that Gu Xi was about to open the gift, so he raised his hand to stop him.

"Are you sure you want to accept this gift?"

I accepted the gift.

That means accepting a promise he wouldn't easily make.

Gu Xi looked at that fair and slender hand, with even the fingernails showing its exquisiteness, placed her own hand on top of it, gently picked up that hand, and then removed it.

His gaze was firm and unwavering.

"Of course I want A-Yao's gift."

I want gifts, and I want other things too.

Gu Yao smiled and looked at Gu Xi without saying anything more.

Long, slender, fair fingers opened the box. On the black background, a platinum ring was entwined with thorns, adorned with a few small flowers and leaves.

The ring, adorned with tiny diamonds, shimmered with delicate light in the illumination.

Not dazzling, yet splendid.

The familiar ring paled in comparison to the bright lights of the store.

But it struck Gu Xi's heart directly.

Looking at the small ring, he felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

I remember the day I went to the store with Gu Yao, and how he put the ring on my finger with such solemnity and sincerity.

So, so, A-Yao wanted to give this gift to me so long ago?

As she looked at it, Gu Xi's vision began to blur.

A tear fell onto the ring, then slid down onto its black background and disappeared.

The teardrops and tiny diamond fragments remaining in the cracks of the ring shimmered, complementing each other.

Gu Yao watched Gu Xi holding the box for a long time, but Gu Xi didn't say anything.

I thought he didn't like this style.

Then she remembered that day in the store, when Gu Xi looked at the ring with a hint of disdain.

It made him inexplicably nervous.

Gu Xi lowered her head and looked down, so he couldn't tell what she was thinking.

Does he really not like it?

Gu Yao's heart pounded, and he reached out to take the ring back.

The hand has not been extended yet.

Then I saw a tear fall onto the ring.

Gu Xi...cried?

This was the first time he had ever seen Gu Xi shed tears while he was still alive.

In his memory, Gu Xi had always been a gentle yet strong person.

The only time I cried so hard.

That's probably when Gu Xi saw his corpse.

Holding that cold, lifeless body, she cried her heart out.

He was heartbroken, but as a ghost, he could no longer touch Gu Xi.

Now that Gu Xi is crying, what should he do?

Gu Yao was somewhat at a loss.

Gu Xi looked up at Gu Yao, a smile on her face, but tears welled up in her eyes and streamed down her cheeks.

He blinked hard, trying to see Gu Yao's face clearly.

The boy in front of me gradually became clearer.

That youthful, innocent face showed a hint of confusion and helplessness.

Gu Xi took out the ring, the band shimmering with tiny sparkles.

The ring was picked up by the well-defined fingers and then solemnly placed on the other finger.

The exquisitely designed ring fits perfectly on the well-defined knuckles of the ring finger.

Compared to her fair and slender fingers, it's hard to tell whether the ring is more beautiful or her fingers are more beautiful.

The ring made her already beautiful fingers even more captivating.

Gu Yao stared, somewhat lost in thought.

The hand with the ring on it, swaying gently in the light, held a fatal attraction for Gu Yao.

He couldn't help but follow that slender, delicate hand; the wrist that was inadvertently revealed held a strange attraction in Gu Yao's eyes.

Gu Xi smiled as she looked at Gu Yao's absent-minded expression.

He deliberately lowered his voice, his tone seductive, like a bewitching enchantress luring Gu Yao forward to drain his life force.

"Ah Yao, isn't it pretty? You picked it out yourself."

Gu Yao nodded and answered without hesitation, "It looks good."

Gu Xi shook her hand a few more times, but then mischievously hid it behind her back, concealing it.

He bent down and whispered in Gu Yao's ear, "Ah Yao, are you stunned?"

Gu Yao snapped back to reality when the ring disappeared from sight.

He shifted his slightly displeased gaze to Gu Xi's face, a mischievous smile playing on his delicate, handsome features.

The owner of that face was still close to his ear, and Gu Yao felt the familiar scent spraying against his ear.

Her face flushed uncontrollably, turning red all the way to her ears, and her hands unconsciously gripped her clothes.

Looking at Gu Yao's bright red ears, Gu Xi felt a slight gloom dissipate in her heart.

He reached out and gently pinched Gu Yao's earlobe with his fingertips; it felt wonderful.

He seemed to understand why Gu Yao liked touching his ears so much.

Gu Yao's ears were somewhat sensitive, and when touched by slightly cool fingertips, he couldn't help but turn his head away.

Gu Xi got up and didn't touch Gu Yao again.

He held that hand up in front of Gu Yao, the ring gleaming.

"Ah Yao, haven't you already secured my gift?"

Gu Yao looked at the small circle, her eyes stinging, and she raised her hand to wipe away her tears.

"Gu Xi, now that you've accepted my gift, it's mine."

The boy stood ramrod straight, his youthful face bearing an unspoken pride.

The words, though somewhat arrogant, sounded comical because of the boy's tearful voice.

It's like a paper tiger putting on a brave face.

Breaks with a poke.

However, Gu Xi wouldn't expose this paper tiger; he would only protect the boy's pride.

I only wish he could always be this bright and passionate.

The doorbell rang at the door.

Gu Xi knew that this was a signal urging him to leave.

He sighed and reached out to ruffle the boy's messy hair.

He ruffled her hair a little more.

"Ah Yao, I'm leaving."

His eyes were filled with deep reluctance.

But he was going to leave eventually.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yao's tears fell again, but she bravely raised her hand to wipe them away.

His flustered movements were somewhat awkward and comical, but he forced a smile to maintain his composure.

"move."

He forced a smile, using his best demeanor to bid farewell to his beloved.

Gu Xi twirled his fingers, gently caressing the slightly cool ring, but his gaze couldn't help but linger on Gu Yao's face.

Under Gu Xi's reluctant gaze, Gu Yao could no longer maintain his straight back and turned around.

Gu Xi looked at the boy's thin back, his shoulders slumped, and his body trembling slightly.

Looks extremely pitiful.

Before the boy could even take a step closer, Gu Yao's voice rang out.

"Let's go, let's go quickly!"

Gu Xi stopped herself in her tracks, lowered her eyes, and turned to leave.

Only after the door closed did Gu Yao raise her head, stretch out her body again, and wipe the tears from her face.

0529 watched Gu Yao's face change so quickly.

It's an improvement over the first world.

It seems I lost my composure a bit this afternoon, but it was just my imagination on May 0529th.

The host was able to compose himself so quickly and still manage to complete the task.

It makes him look like such a useless piece of trash.

0529 touched his head and cheered himself up.

The host is constantly improving his skills, so he should work hard too.
