PNB Chapter 158: Really Cruel
Chapter 158: Really Cruel
Seeing Qin Xi's expression of being angry and embarrassed, as if her fig leaf had been ripped off.
"Turns out it really is him..." Gu Chenxing murmured.
Qin Xi realized it belatedly, "Are you kidding me? ...How did you guess that?"
"I've said before, your every smile and frown touches my heart, no one cares about you more than me. You are a person who is very kind to everyone. You have a special magnetic field that makes people want to get close to you. People who get close to you will be infected by you and warmed by you."
Gu Chenxing laughed at himself, "To be honest, I was troubled by this before. I was not satisfied with your gentle treatment of me. I wanted more and more. I even hoped that your light could shine completely on me..."
Gu Chenxing's big, bright eyes were particularly dim at this moment because of his sadness, just like a big dog that was ruthlessly abandoned by its owner. Qin Xi's anger, which had been rising to the top of his head, disappeared in an instant.
Why does it seem like I'm wrong again? This... pure moral kidnapping. Gu Chenxing really knows how to change the subject!
"Don't talk nonsense, get to the point!"
Gu Chenxing nodded obediently, "But when Xu Fang came to visit the studio, I found that you treated Xu Fang differently from everyone else. You seemed to smile warmly at him, but the way you looked at him was cold. Especially after he left, you looked at his back, and that look was icy cold...
So when you mentioned that person, the first person I thought of was Xu Fang. I didn’t expect that I was right…”
Qin Xi had nothing to say. Gu Chenxing's eyes must have been transformed by a high-definition monitor. Alas, in the end, it was because he was not careful enough and his eyes were not disguised well enough. He was easily tricked by this little devil. Qin Xi wanted to bang his head against the wall.
"I don't understand. Since he has hurt your heart and keeps pestering you, why do you still pretend to be nice to him? Do you have any difficulties? Or do you want to use him to achieve your goals?"
Gu Chenxing's words were like a sharp knife, picking apart Qin Xi's layers of secrets buried deep inside, completely breaking Qin Xi's defenses.
Qin Xi's face turned pale and his emotions exploded in an instant.
"Gu Chenxing, you are so rude! I have been speaking kindly to you before because we have been colleagues for a few months after all, and we will inevitably have to promote together in the future, so I want to save some face for you. Don't touch my bottom line again and again!"
"I...I just want to help you..."
Gu Chenxing didn't expect Qin Xi to be so angry suddenly, and was at a loss for a moment.
Qin Xi's eyes were sharp and her aura was fully open as she stared at Gu Chenxing.
"You help me? Who are you to me? What right do you have to help me? What qualifications do you have to help me?"
Gu Chenxing's face was pale, and his expression was as if he was a precious jade that would shatter at the slightest touch.
"I... I just want to be closer to you. I want our relationship to be more than just colleagues who have worked together for four months. How I wish I had been born earlier so I could have met you earlier. How I wish it was me instead of Di Shen who saved you at the explosion site!"
Gu Chenxing stared at Qin Xi with his silent eyes, holding Qin Xi's shoulders with both hands. Qin Xi felt his hands were cold and trembling. But Gu Chenxing was still trying to control his strength, afraid of hurting Qin Xi.
"If that were the case, you probably wouldn't have just dismissed me like that. I know I'm too young, I'm immature, and I can't even show my best side to you..."
Gu Chenxing choked up a little, as if he would burst into tears in the next second.
"But as long as you give me a chance and give me time, I will definitely be able to do better than Xu Fang. Instead of using it, why not use me!"
Gu Chenxing, why did it come to this?
What virtue and ability do I, Qin Xi, have?
To be honest, this is the first time Qin Xi has encountered such a sincere, passionate, and humble confession that makes him lose himself.
How could she not be moved? But Qin Xi forced herself to tell herself that she couldn't be soft-hearted. She couldn't bear such heavy love...
Qin Xi pushed away Gu Chenxing's hand on her shoulder with very little force, but after saying this, Gu Chenxing took two steps back, as if he had used up all his strength and was unable to stand steadily.
Qin Xi smiled playfully, "I know my words will be cruel to you now, but I have to say it."
"My heart is hard. Brother Di Shen did save me, but so what? I'm still not with him, right? Brother Di Shen is a kind and righteous man. He didn't ask for repayment, but even if he did, I still wouldn't be with him."
"Because I only have my career and future in my eyes. Feelings mean nothing to me! Xu Fang is unreliable, so how can you be reliable? You overestimate yourself..."
"What I, Qin Xi, want to do in this life will not depend on anyone but myself!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Xi turned around neatly, and her long hair brushed across Gu Chenxing's cheek, like a breeze that disturbed Gu Chenxing's heart, but left nothing behind.
"Qin Xi, you...are so cruel..."
A faint murmur floated in Qin Xi's ears, and Qin Xi walked forward without stopping.
Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, and it is better to cut through the knot with a quick knife.
Qin Xi lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to calm down for a long time. Qin Xi simply sat up and turned on the bedside lamp. It turned out to be three o'clock in the morning. She had been tossing and turning in bed for two hours.
It seems that I will not be able to sleep tonight, as Gu Chenxing's sad and broken face is all in my mind. Qin Xi's mind moved, and she touched the photo album he gave her. She couldn't help but flip through it carefully.
The photos were arranged in chronological order, and Gu Chenxing's photography skills were visibly improving. From the deadly angles at the beginning, to barely acceptable in the middle, to what could be called masterpieces later on.
Qin Xi shook her head and smiled. Gu Chenxing never considered structure or proportion in his shots. All the scenery was just a foil. This photo was no exception. The main character was Qin Xi.
Gu Chenxing seems to have a unique creativity. Every photo of Qin Xi captured by his lens is vivid, bright and full of vitality.
"How can I be so good..." Qin Xi couldn't help but sigh as he stroked the photos.
Suddenly Qin Xi discovered that there seemed to be something else in this photo...
Qin Xi took out a photo and looked at it under the dim desk lamp. It really was there!
Qin Xi turned on the headlights, wanting to see more clearly.
It turns out that there is a sketch of the same style behind this photo. It is lifelike. Qin Xi flipped through it and found it to be exactly the same as the photo.
Qin Xi couldn't help but think that when Gu Chenxing was drawing himself, he was also looking back and forth like he did just now, or... he had already completely engraved his expression in his mind.
Qin Xi immediately looked at other photos.
Sure enough... there is a picture behind each one, each one...
There are several photos of Qin Xi making funny faces. Behind her is a Q version of Qin Xi, who is not only cute but also very delicately drawn. It is obvious that she is from the same person as the fondant Qin Xi on today's cake.
Qin Xi seemed to be able to see Gu Chenxing wearing glasses and painting under the lamp every night for the past four months. His expression was focused and his eyebrows were gentle. When he painted the Q version, he might even show a faint smile.
Such a good Gu Chenxing, such sincere and lovely love.
Qin Xi, you are indeed cruel...
