Pei Yu squatted and hugged herself, feeling someone touching her head. Her twitching shoulders stiffened slightly, but her face was wet and she didn't dare to look up. She even thought it was just her imagination.
So even thinking about it became extremely aggrieved.
But before she could feel aggrieved this time, she heard Gu Chengxuan's voice above her head, "Are you tired of crying?"
It was a very straightforward question, and there was no emotion attached to it.
Pei Yu buried herself between her knees, sobbing muffledly, her voice became hoarse, but she still refused to give in, "You don't have to worry about it, Your Majesty..."
He pressed the back of her head lightly without too much force, pulled her hair, and slowly asked her to look up.
Pei Yu was fierce on the outside. She had seen Gu Chengxuan's fierce appearance, so when she felt Gu Chengxuan pulling her hair, she trembled all over and was forced to raise her head tremblingly.
Gu Chengxuan's hand was still holding a lock of her hair. He stood in front of Pei Yu with a cold and gentle attitude. He lowered his eyes calmly and looked down at Pei Yu's little face.
He seemed to look at Pei Yu for a while, and then let go after a while, but he fell on Pei Yu's wet little face, gently rubbed it with his calloused fingertips a few times, and wiped her away. With tears on her face, her fingertips gently pressed her pointed chin.
Gu Chengxuan obviously didn't say anything, but his expression seemed to have intimidated Pei Yu.
Pei Yu pursed her lips tightly and was forced to look at him nervously, waiting for him to give orders.
But Gu Chengxuan looked at her for a moment, then let go of his hand, returned to the dining table slowly, and said calmly: "If you are hungry, come and eat."
As soon as Gu Chengxuan's hand was released, Pei Yu felt that her frightened heart finally relaxed a little. She took a twitching breath and was still a little confused. It seemed that Pei Yu hadn't realized what she had just done. Yu pressed her palms with her little hands and took a short breath. When she raised her head, she saw that Gu Chengxuan had sat down and was eating slowly, as if he was not affected by the noise she had just made.
Pei Yu felt sour in her heart, always feeling that no matter what she did, Gu Chengxuan was always indifferent to her, and even a little bit of tenderness was just her own extravagant wish.
But he was not completely heartless. He touched her head and asked her to eat with him.
Gu Chengxuan didn't do anything that made her happy, but Pei Yu had to admit that as long as Gu Chengxuan was willing to look at her and give her a little sweetness, she couldn't help but pounce on him.
Pei Yu wiped away her tears and sat down next to him hesitantly, but she didn't move her chopsticks immediately. She still lowered her head and was depressed alone.
After a while, Gu Chengxuan asked calmly: "Is the meal not to your liking?"
Pei Yu raised her fingers to wipe her tears and said in a low voice, "No."
"Pei Yu, do you think crying is useful?" Gu Chengxuan slowly filled a bowl of soup and said calmly.
When he said this, Pei Yu's nose became even more sore. She bit her lip and said, "I don't like to cry very much."
"I really like to see you cry, but I only like you to cry in bed." Gu Chengxuan said as he handed a bowl of soup to Pei Yu.
Pei Yu was stunned for a moment before she could react. Her face suddenly turned red, and even her ears gradually turned red. She pursed her lips and wanted to retort, but she was afraid of being lectured by him again, so she spoke even more aggrievedly. Biting her lips.
