"Don't you feel embarrassed when you say these words?" Ji Mingtao asked, looking at his neighbor whom he was getting to know all over again.
"Why should I be ashamed? Aren't love and desire just like appetite? They are all human nature. What's wrong with me wanting it? It doesn't harm anyone's interests, nor does it violate the law. Of course, although it doesn't conform to the current moral requirements, exercising the right to mate without the high-sounding skin of marriage may ruin my reputation if someone finds out. But don't worry about this. I will never let anyone find out."
Gu Shichu spoke confidently and even made a promise.
Ji Mingtao raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, then looked at Gu Shichu, who was looking at him with bright eyes and expectant expression, and felt a little headache.
I don’t know what Gu Shichu sees in me. Could it be that my appearance can make her ignore my bad side
It feels like she has started to let herself go since her father passed away, and has rapidly transformed from an ordinary introverted girl into a daring and shocking woman - although she still pretends to be the same in front of outsiders.
"Aren't you afraid of being arrested and paraded through the streets for criticism? It could be fatal." Ji Mingtao looked at Gu Shichu steadily and said in a low and hoarse voice. His dark eyes were like a volcano about to erupt, suppressing a force that could break through the sky.
"Dead? You are unmarried and I am unmarried, so at most we are just having a romantic affair, which cannot rise to the level of death. And I won't let you fall to this level. No, I won't let anyone find out." Gu Shichu looked into Ji Mingtao's eyes seriously and confidently, trying his best to convince him to believe in himself.
She was indeed confident that she could ensure the personal safety of Ji Mingtao and herself, and she would always prepare a way out for everything she did.
The fact that Ji Mingtao, a landlord's son, was able to survive safely, grow up, eat meat from time to time, and live a better life than those poor peasants in the village shows that he is not an honest and simple person who is content with the status quo. On the contrary, he is more thoughtful, scheming, and cynical than ordinary people.
Gu Shichu saw this point in him and was confident that he would be convinced by him. After all, they were not law-abiding people, let alone good people, so what was the big deal about doing something shocking
"If you agree to me, not only will you not suffer any loss, but you will also benefit from it. Why don't you agree?" Gu Shichu said seductively, approaching Ji Mingtao and reaching out to touch his cold face.
Ji Mingtao did not dodge as usual. He suddenly revealed a genuine smile, his eyebrows flying, and the corners of his mouth raised, like spring flowers blooming on branches, instantly lighting up the simple courtyard. This rare smile also carried a rare trace of evil, which made his just cold face suddenly become lively and evil, as if some seal was opened and the devil was released.
Gu Shichu's eyes suddenly widened. She had never seen Ji Mingtao with such a lively expression, but Ji Mingtao with such an evil smile was more fascinating than his previous cold appearance. Gu Shichu's heart was pounding as if it was going to jump out of her chest.
Damn it, she can't control herself! Gu Shichu stared at him blankly.
Ji Mingtao raised his narrow and deep eyes to the side, and seeing Gu Shichu who was stunned by him, he couldn't help but smile even more. He said: "You are right, I am a man, what do I have to lose? Since you came to me yourself, don't regret it later."
After saying that, he suddenly pressed the back of Gu Shichu's neck, pushed her towards him, and bent down to kiss her lips.
Gu Shichu's pupils shrank, and he finally came to his senses, and then he was overjoyed!
"You agree, don't you?" she said with a smile of joy. "I won't regret it!"
Ji Mingtao let her go, restrained his smile, and said in a meaningful tone: "I hope you remember what you said. I will not be responsible for you."
"Of course, of course! I don't need you to be responsible!" Gu Shichu answered hurriedly and wanted to kiss Ji Mingtao again.
Ji Mingtao pushed her away, put a finger on her forehead, and said with a half-smile: "Why are you in such a hurry? It's broad daylight."
How could Gu Shichu not be anxious? She had finally hooked up with someone, but now the timing was not right, so she had to endure it and said with a smile: "Wouldn't it be fine in broad daylight? Then I'll come to see you tonight when it's dark and windy?"
Ji Mingtao looked at the straightforward and magnanimous woman in front of him and suddenly didn't know what to say. Although he had seen her unrestrained nature, he didn't expect that she could be even more unrestrained, direct, unscrupulous and magnanimous. But although she said evil words, her expression and eyes were extremely innocent and clean, with a calmness that transcended the world.
What kind of person are you? Ji Mingtao lowered his eyes, stroking Gu Shichu's soft and warm face with his hands, thinking.
He was a man with no ties in the world anyway, and his life was as calm as stagnant water. Since there was a different person who seemed to have many secrets and had to walk into his life, he had to explore it carefully.
"Be good, go home first." Ji Mingtao suppressed all the dark and depressed thoughts in his heart and said softly to Gu Shichu.
Gu Shichu was already completely mesmerized by him at this point, so naturally he listened to whatever he said and nodded obediently: "Okay, I'll come see you again in the evening."
Having said this, he walked away, looking back every few steps.
She jumped three feet high as soon as she got out of the gate, and was so happy that she almost let out a long roar to celebrate. But she still had her rationality, so she just jumped and skipped, with a look of joy on her face, and walked towards her home.
Her wish came true. She was about to succeed in eating Ji Mingtao. How could she not be excited? Her efforts over the past few days had paid off. She was confident in her ability to seduce men. Look, she had even managed to seduce a difficult man like Ji Mingtao!
After Gu Shichu returned, she was so happy that she felt light and happy all day long, as if her feet were not touching the ground and she was so happy that she could fly to the sky. She finally made it to the evening, had dinner early, and washed herself thoroughly, making herself clean and fragrant. As soon as it got dark, she went out to Ji Mingtao's house.
There were only two families in this place, and they lived close to each other, so they didn't have to worry about being seen.
Ji Mingtao's courtyard door was not locked. Gu Shichu quietly opened it and walked in, then fastened the door bolt tightly.
"Ji Mingtao!" As soon as Gu Shichu entered the gate, he saw Ji Mingtao sitting next to the oil lamp. The dim light made his handsome face with distinct features look like a sculpture, with a shocking sense of art.
"You're here." At this time, Ji Mingtao seemed to have turned back into the cold and indifferent person he used to be. The evil smile he had during the day seemed to have been imagined by Gu Shichu and could no longer be seen at all.
But no matter if he was cold or evil, he was extremely handsome. Gu Shichu immediately pounced on him, raised his head and asked him, "Are you waiting for me?"
Ji Mingtao did not push her away, but instead hugged her.
