Chapter 384 Let nature take its course
Li Xiaoxiao then carefully examined the dagger and really liked it more and more. Although it was an antique, it was well preserved and the patterns carved on it were lifelike.
Li Huawen was depressed because he didn't send the things away. Li Xiaoxiao was not someone who was easy to talk to, and it was difficult for her to change her mind once she made up her mind.
Seeing that the time was almost up and Gu Feiyan was expected to arrive soon, Li Huawen stood up from his seat, like a little adult, with his hands behind his back, walking around the room, frowning, with a look of deep hatred.
When Gu Feiyan saw Li Huawen like this as soon as he entered the room, he had a vague guess in his mind.
Because Li Huawen was so absorbed in his thoughts, he didn't even notice someone coming in. He was walking back and forth when suddenly he bumped into someone with a bang.
He subconsciously looked up and found that it was Gu Feiyan. He stuttered and said, "Brother Gu, you came so early today."
"It's getting late. As usual, have you memorized all the books I asked you to memorize yesterday?" Gu Feiyan sat in his special seat and looked at Li Huawen, who looked embarrassed.
"I, I can recite it." Li Huawen answered without thinking. He is smart and can usually recite it after reading it a few times. However, the things were not delivered yesterday and he had no intention of memorizing the book, so he has only read it twice so far.
Gu Feiyan saw the panic in his eyes clearly, but did not expose him. He looked like a little adult, but in fact he was just a child, and it was normal for him to fail to finish his homework occasionally.
After waiting for a long time but seeing Gu Feiyan not asking him about what happened yesterday, Li Huawen could no longer hold it in and took the initiative to tell him, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Brother Gu, I'm sorry, I couldn't complete what you asked me to do."
"Okay, I understand." Gu Feiyan just hummed. How could he not know Li Xiaoxiao's temper? Sending things through Li Huawen was already a fluke, so it was expected that things would not be done.
"You won't blame me?" Li Huawen asked nervously.
"Why should I blame you? This is my own business. You mean well and I know you tried your best." What Gu Feiyan said was reasonable.
In Li Huawen's opinion, Gu Feiyan is simply too good to be true. He likes Gu Feiyan even more. What should he do?
"Do you want me to try again?" Li Huawen didn't want to compromise. If he exchanged it for something else, would his second sister accept it?
"No need, let everything take its course." Gu Feiyan touched his little head. This apprentice was really becoming more and more to his liking, but he didn't know if he had the honor of becoming his brother-in-law.
It's said that he should let things take their course, but it's really not possible to let things take their course. Meeting a girl that he likes is something that can only be encountered by chance. Since Li Huawen's approach doesn't work, he can go find Li Xiaoxiao himself.
I believe that where there is sincerity, there is a way. As long as he works hard, there is hope.
"Okay, Brother Gu, this is for you. Why don't you try it yourself?" Li Huawen still didn't give up and handed him the dagger.
Gu Feiyan took the dagger, his mind working rapidly. It seemed that he really had to do it himself. He looked at Li Huawen with admiration, thinking that he was a smart and clever little boy.
Li Huawen scratched his head embarrassedly and gave him a silly smile.
Gu Feiyan has always been a man of action. He would go wherever he said he would. He assigned Li Huawen the homework for the day, and then went to the restaurant where Li Xiaoxiao was.
When he arrived, it was already the hour of Yin, and he found that Si Chengxu was also there, and Li Xiaoxiao was playing chess with him.
Si Chengxu nodded to him as a greeting, and Gu Feiyan smiled faintly in response.
"Fei Yan, why are you here at this time today?" In the past, Gu Fei Yan was always in Si's house at this time.
"Hua Wen has been studying very hard these days, so let him take a break today." Gu Feiyan lied casually, walked a few steps to the table for two people, and glanced at the chessboard on the table.
Then he was surprised to see a golden dagger placed on the table near Li Xiaoxiao.
Si Chengxu had been staring at him since he came in, and followed his gaze to the dagger on the table.
The corners of his mouth curled up into a barely perceptible smile, and he said casually, "Xiaoxiao is a girl, and she doesn't have a suitable weapon, so I found her this little gadget, just in case."
The speaker was intentional and the listener took it even more seriously. Gu Feiyan pursed his lips and took a long time to suppress the sourness in his heart.
Yesterday he asked Li Huawen to send something, but Xiaoxiao refused to accept it. Today Si Chengxu gave it to her, and she accepted it. Does Xiaoxiao really not like him?
"Really? Mr. Si is really good to my cousin." Gu Feiyan's tone was inexplicably heavy.
"Of course. My cousin and her family have suffered a lot in the past. Now that they are in the capital, I, as their cousin, naturally have to treat them well." Si Chengxu raised his head slightly, vaguely having the upper hand, and said it as a matter of course.
"What a coincidence! I also prepared a gift for Xiaoxiao. I wonder if Xiaoxiao likes it?" When he first saw the dagger, Gu Feiyan put his thoughts back, but when he saw Si Chengxu's smug look, he felt a little unwilling.
Then he took out a dagger from his arms, which was the one he asked Li Huawen to pass on to him yesterday.
Li Xiaoxiao was in a dilemma at this moment. What were they doing? Were they forcing her to do this? She didn't want it, not at all.
The one on the table was accepted reluctantly just because he didn't want Si Chengxu to throw it into the river. But now Gu Feiyan is offering it to him again. If he doesn't take it, he will be embarrassed in front of Si Chengxu. But if he takes it, will Gu Feiyan misunderstand him?
I was in a dilemma for a moment, thinking and thinking, thinking and thinking: "Well, Feiyan, I already have one, why don't you keep it for yourself?"
"This is for women. I, a grown man, don't need it. Besides, I don't know kung fu. It would be a waste to keep it with me. I might as well give it to you." Gu Feiyan moved the dagger closer to Li Xiaoxiao and insisted on giving it to her.
"I seldom use it, and I don't want to accept it from my cousin. But if I don't, he will throw it into the lake." Li Xiaoxiao tactfully expressed to him the reason why she accepted the dagger.
So that's how it is. Si Chengxu is really insidious. He forced people to accept it. But I have to say that his method is very effective.
After looking at Si Chengxu with contempt, Gu Feiyan quickly looked away.
Si Chengxu had a blank expression on his face, as if the person talking was not him.
"Since Mr. Si's dagger was not thrown into the lake, let's throw this into the lake." Gu Feiyan's words had a deeper meaning. If Si Chengxu could use this method, then he could use it too.
As long as the goal is achieved, the process can be ignored.
"Okay, okay, I'm really scared of you two. Okay, I'll take them all." Li Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes in her heart. It turned out that the handsome man who was famous in the capital could have such a childish behavior.
