Chapter 74 Liking and Compromise are Like Light and Shadow
What does it feel like to kiss?
When you first touch the other person's lips, you can hardly feel them because they are so soft.
The initial force is always light and airy, like tentatively probing each other through a window paper, groping around blindfolded, until he or she loses their composure, and reason silently melts away amidst the gradually overlapping sounds of gongs and drums.
At this moment, don't be too hasty. You can gently and carefully savor the other person's fragrance and body temperature, taking only a few seconds, and then tacitly separate to catch your breath.
Put your arm around the other person's waist, or place your hands on their chest.
Forehead to forehead, nose to nose, fluttering eyelashes tickling their faces. Neither spoke, but stood half a centimeter apart, feeling the other's heartbeat.
It's like eating a piece of candy.
If you hold it in your mouth for a long time, you should take a shallow breath. When the sweetness dissolves in the air and is about to disappear, lick it again, as if this will keep the sweetness in your mouth forever.
"call…"
The girl nestled in his arms, breathing softly.
Whenever Gu Zhibei's gaze fell upon her delicate cheeks, her flushed earlobes, and her large, watery eyes, a faint sense of satisfaction would rise in his heart.
And something even heavier.
This kind of thing, when pressed against the chest, doesn't make you feel suffocated, nor does it make you feel disgusted or repulsed; on the contrary, you feel a sweet sensation.
Gu Zhibei knew exactly what this was: a boy's sense of responsibility naturally arises after he has a girl he loves.
This is also why a handsome, academically excellent, and mentally and physically healthy young man is always unwilling to develop a romantic relationship.
Perhaps for most people nowadays, dating is simply about enjoying the process.
But Gu Zhibei still stubbornly believes that the ultimate goal of love is to find someone who can accompany you for a lifetime.
This is probably the genetic information passed down from my parents.
He believes that a good couple should accompany each other, get married, and have children together.
Gu Zhibei knew all too well what it felt like to have unreliable parents.
If he has children in the future, he can give them excellent genes and ample living expenses, but he may not be able to provide enough companionship.
His personality is not suited to raising children.
"Remember the two reasons I wanted to make money?" He couldn't help but pinch the girl's cheeks.
"The second one is a secret, I don't know." The young lady was forced to pout.
She never pressed Gu Zhibei for information, like hunting a sensitive kitten, afraid that if she pressed him too hard, she would scare him away.
Pei Qingning believed that he would tell her everything sooner or later.
So she always turned a blind eye to Gu Zhibei and the kitten... just like the little things he and the fish secretly did.
Even if this feeling is like being scratched in the heart by a cat's claws, it can sometimes feel sour and heartbreaking.
Pei Qingning had never experienced this feeling before.
If she wants to eat hot xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), someone will buy them for her.
Wanting a place at school where she could sleep peacefully, she made the principal's office her domain.
If you want to catch a beloved kitten, you can arbitrarily stuff money into the cat contest as bait.
Because of his mother's situation, his grandfather never refused her requests.
My grandfather always said that if you want something, just say it.
Grandpa also said that if the boy she likes in the future is not loyal to her, he has "magic" to make him loyal.
Pei Qingning was once moved.
I've been moved countless times.
Several times, the words were almost stuck in my throat... but I just couldn't get them out.
She could have gotten all the treasures she wanted just like before, if she had only asked.
But she didn't want her kitten to be shackled and tortured by the cold, hard stone until it was bloodied and mangled.
Therefore, Pei Qingning could only add some catnip to the cat treats, hoping to increase his loyalty.
But he only cunningly eats the meat in the cat treats, ignoring the catnip that's addictive and will make him a rich girl's pet.
The girl was very anxious about this, but there was nothing she could do.
All I could do was scatter the bait again and again, watching him nibble away at the delicious cat treats, and then wag his tail and calmly walk away.
That wretched kitten.
"Do you want to know?" Gu Zhibei asked.
"I want it all," the young lady said domineeringly.
Gu Zhibei pretended not to understand what she meant by "all".
Because he also wanted "everything".
He rubbed and kneaded the young lady's face, her little mouth pouting into a comical arc:
"It sounds childish, and it really is... I want to save money to travel around the world."
"Not childish."
"Really? That was a wish Gu Zhibei wanted to fulfill when he was seven or eight years old."
Gu Zhibei spoke quietly.
"You wicked young lady, since you've investigated my background, you must know about my parents, right?"
"It's not evil, it's good," the girl retorted.
Then her little mouth was covered.
After a lecture, the young lady's eyes became glazed over again.
"To put it simply, it's about the left-behind children developing a rebellious mentality, wanting to know what kind of world they are in that would make those two people abandon their children."
Gu Zhibei released his mouth, breathing slightly heavily.
"I'm so handsome and smart, I'm bound to be a great man who will go down in history. It wouldn't be impossible for me to become the President of the United States."
"In the end, it was just a momentary outburst of anger; it was neither realistic nor interesting."
"But for some reason, as time went on, it slowly became a wish."
He slowly recounted his family and his childhood.
Because of unreliable parents, I have unreliable wishes.
Because of his unrealistic aspirations, he is destined to become an unreliable parent.
Gu Zhibei didn't want to be an unreliable parent, so he always avoided girls' affections from a young age.
As he spoke, he thought of Jiang Youyu again.
He always teased her for hiding in her shell and being afraid to come out, saying that she might not even know if her husband was stolen away by Little Lemon one day.
But now he thinks back to his past self, wasn't he also hiding in his shell, treating Xiaoyuer's affection as the friendship between "good brothers" so that he could enjoy the girl's pampering with a clear conscience while dreaming of fulfilling his childhood wishes?
The two hid inside the shell and fiddled around for a while, but unexpectedly, a fierce little lemon suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Would Jiang Youyu be willing to travel with him if her "illness" were cured?
Gu Zhibei didn't know.
If she's unwilling... then he should give up on this wish.
They accommodated him, so why couldn't he accommodate them in return?
In a relationship where there is mutual affection, compromise and sacrifice are mutual.
"I'll stay with Gu Zhibei," Pei Qingning gently stroked his brow bone, "and the kitten too."
"Then let's have all three together."
"Two people."
"Who knows what the future holds... Is the young lady some kind of little witch who can foresee the future?"
Gu Zhibei continued to give vague answers.
We can compromise on other places, but not on this.
Unless they can win in a fair and just game.
Pei Qingning puffed out her cheeks unhappily and wouldn't let him kiss her anymore.
The boy coaxed her for a while, which calmed the young lady down a little.
"My lovely, well-behaved young lady, can you secretly tell me what... Jiang Youyu has on her head?" he asked in a fawning tone.
Pei Qingning stared at him for two seconds.
He nodded reluctantly.
Bring me a blank sheet of paper...
