Chemistry
“I’m not going to explain it.” Gu Youli had an obstinate expression on her face.
She said each word clearly. “In any case, I am Gu Youli, now, earlier and in the future. I am not a spy. What must I do to make you believe me?”
Yu Feibai walked towards Gu Youli and said softly, “Find the real spy!”
After saying that, he handed Gu Youli a cup of water and indicated with his eyes that she should take a seat.
Gu Youli received the cup of water silently and sat on the couch.
Yu Feibai also returned to his seat.
In the quiet and desolate room, there was only the sound of the clock ticking.
Gu Youli drank her water and although Yu Feibai did not speak, his presence was strongly felt.
She glanced at Yu Feibai secretly and bit her lip. Something felt amiss.
Suddenly, she seemed to be enlightened and her uneasiness disappeared in an instant.
She looked at Yu Feibai and smiled very coldly, a very Gu Youli smile. “Senior Official, I’ve read some books on psychology, too. As per the German psychologist, Ebbinghaus’s forgetting curve should occur between seven to ten days. It has been more than a month since we last met so your joke isn’t funny at all. You gave me a real fright.”
Yu Feibai seemed to have been captivated by Gu Youli. His eyes glimmered. “Mmhmm. Do I look like I am joking?”
Gu Youli squinted slightly and smiled at him again. “If you aren’t joking and really suspected me to be a spy, why would you tell me all this? You would have thrown me into an interrogation room.”
Yu Feibai looked at her in an even more profound way. “Why do you make the army sound like a bunch of bandits?”
Gu Youli beamed at him. “There is a term called ‘soldato’ which means that soldiers and gangsters aren’t that different.”
Now, it was Yu Feibai’s turn to smile. It was a very slight quirk of his lips but it was enough to mesmerize a person.
Gu Youli was stunned and felt her breathing become irregular.
She could feel her face burning but quickly pretended to be calm as she said, “I almost got tricked by you.”
Yu Feibai looked at her little face that was still blushing and could not help but smile again. “Has anyone told you that it’s not a very good thing for a woman to be too smart?”
Gu Youli did not think much of it and said, “A woman who isn’t smart would be counting money for the person who has cheated her of her money.”
At the same time, she held an inner monologue, “No laughing. Don’t you know you look like a fox when you smile? Just stay as an immortal, why be a fox?”
After that, Gu Youli picked up her glass of water, trying to conceal her thoughts.
She heard Yu Feibai say calmly, “If you’re cheated by me, I won’t let you count the money. I’ll let you manage the money!”
Gu Youli spat out the water.
What was this man talking about? He sounded so calm as though he was discussing the weather but the content sounded like a marriage proposal to her.
A man letting a woman manage his money. If that’s not a marriage proposal, what is it?
Gu Youli coughed violently from choking on the water and covered her mouth. She couldn’t help but look at Yu Feibai with an incredulous expression on her face.
