Chapter 1612: Chapter 1613: I Promise You

“Hiss.” The man beside her let out a muffled groan, inhaling sharply from the pain. His breath tickled her ear, making her feel a tingling itch, while his body temperature carried a scent of grass that lingered around her. Gu Linxi was very unaccustomed to being this close to someone, let alone a person of the opposite sex.

She instinctively pushed him away, “What are you doing, let go.”

Cui Jiangjing groaned but didn’t let go, trapping her in his arms, “I know life is important.”

“…”

“I’m not disregarding my own life.”

Gu Linxi paused, “If you don’t, then don’t. Let me go.”

Cui Jiangjing lowered his head, forcing her forehead close to his as he stared directly into her eyes, “You don’t trust me?”

Gu Linxi was very uncomfortable with this skin contact, it was too intimate. She wasn’t used to any intimate relationship. She turned her head away, refusing to meet his eyes, her mood unsettled, “Whether I trust you or not doesn’t matter. Why do you insist on me trusting you? It’s enough if you believe in yourself, whether I trust you is not important!”

“It’s very important to me!”

“…” She took a deep breath, feeling the need to make things clear to him, “Cui Jiangjing, I…”

Just as she began to speak, she was pulled tightly into his arms again, even more so than before, as he impudently rested his chin on her shoulder, as if he wasn’t afraid of being pushed away, “Listen to me first.”

Gu Linxi endured the discomfort, inhaling and silently chanting the Heart Clarity Spell, “Go ahead.”

Cui Jiangjing released her, his scorching gaze lowering to watch her, his voice hoarse, “It’s not that I’m careless with my life. I rode the motorcycle knowing full well I shouldn’t, just because you said that if I accomplished what you asked, you would be my girlfriend.”

“…”

“You’re more important than my life.”

“Those people you mentioned, I haven’t met them, but I understand what you mean. To them, living is the most important thing. To me, having you as my girlfriend is most important. If I can’t win you over, life will feel mundane. Drinking won’t taste right, singing will lack meaning, even in a crowd it feels like I’m sitting there alone. Baby, do you understand?”

Don’t understand!

Cui Jiangjing seemed to see the answer in her eyes, his peach blossom eyes rippling with emotion, his lips curling up as his fingers brazenly traveled up her cheek, his rough fingertips grazing her skin, making it impossible to ignore his presence.

As Gu Linxi furrowed her brows, her attention followed his restless fingers, a heavy voice sounded above her head, “You just want to get rid of me, don’t want me clinging to you anymore. Since you think my pursuit of you is just a whim, that I’ll stop being so extravagant once I’ve succeeded, then you might as well agree to be with me. If I’m really as you say, you’ll be free, once and for all, not bothered by my endless pursuit, you won’t lose out.”

Gu Linxi seemed to ponder his words.

He continued to press on, “If I keep making a fuss, it annoys you too, you see you’re wasting your time and expression going out with me tonight. Date me, wait until I’m tired of it, and you’ll be free. I promise, when we break up, I absolutely won’t bother you!”

Once and for all… the phrase seemed quite reasonable.

Over the past six months, Gu Linxi did find his persistence somewhat bothersome, not because she disliked Cui Jiangjing as a person, but simply because she didn’t like anyone disrupting her life.

Also, she feared trouble.

The series of events that happened tonight, from Gu Xue’s visit to his reckless motorcycle stunt, were all troublesome to her, so…

She lifted her head, “I agree.”
