The night was getting deeper. There were only two people in the huge villa, and it was so quiet that they could hear each other's breathing.
The man's voice was magnetic and pleasant, and it flowed gently through Lin Mo's ears like water, pouring into her heart.
Her slender and curly eyelashes trembled slightly twice.
She raised her glass and took a sip of red wine. The mellow taste spread to her throat.
After a few seconds, a smile appeared on her lips, "I'm not unhappy about anything."
She was just very sad.
Sad that such a thing would happen to the fourth brother, sad about Aunt Zhen's experience, and sad that many families were still going through such despair.
"Sadness can also be expressed." Xie Guanyan said.
Lin Mo's peach - blossom eyes widened slightly, "Do you have mind - reading skills?"
How did he know what she was thinking?
Xie Guanyan's clear - boned fingertips adjusted his glasses, "It's not hard to guess. People have emotions. Anyone would be sad when encountering such things as you."
"You can show your emotions, at least in front of me."
When he said the last sentence, Xie Guanyan's heart beat violently, and sweat inexplicably oozed from his palms.
Lin Mo had never drunk alcohol because she knew that alcohol would control the brain, and she didn't like that feeling of losing control.
But today she indulged herself.
Because of her poor alcohol tolerance.
After taking a sip of red wine, her head felt a little dizzy.
The man's words lingered in her ears, like carrying an electric current, and the tips of her ears began to tingle.
She took another sip of wine, blinked her eyes, "Really?"
The girl's delicate and fair little face had already turned slightly red, and there was a bit of moist confusion in her rippling peach - blossom eyes.
Xie Guanyan's Adam's apple rolled uncontrollably twice, and his hand holding the glass still didn't move.
He wouldn't let himself touch alcohol.
Because he was afraid that he would do something irrational.
He suggested drinking just to let her release some of her emotions. Her behavior of suppressing emotions made him extremely distressed.
At an age when others were still enjoying their good times carefree.
His Shanshan had already become an invincible warrior.
Since she traveled over eleven years ago, her peers had long been different from her, and she had no friends.
Her college entrance examination results were useless, and she needed to study again.
The person she regarded as a mortal enemy had already achieved success, while she had nothing.
Just these casually counted things were enough to make her unhappy and sad for a long time.
But she never showed it. She quickly accepted the reality and calmly rearranged her life.
When she was overwhelmed, she still had to look for her fourth brother who had been lost for many years.
Her strength was visible to the naked eye, but what about her fragility?
Thinking of this, Xie Guanyan's heart ached like being pricked, densely.
After coming back for so long, the only time he saw her in a low mood was when she watched a football match at No. 1 Middle School.
Because of Gu Jingchuan.
Her younger brothers weren't by her side, and she only revealed a little bit.
Maybe in her heart, emotions could be shown in front of Gu Jingchuan because they were in a boyfriend - girlfriend relationship.
But they could also be shown in front of him.
What he loved was never just the bright, dazzling and positive her.
He loved her as a whole person, with both advantages and disadvantages.
A person who would be happy and unhappy, who would be positive and sometimes depressed.
Xie Guanyan looked at the girl in front of him, and the emotions in his eyes surged.
But the question was, what identity could he use to make her show her emotions without any scruples?
"Yes!" The girl answered herself at this time and nodded her little head.
Xie Guanyan's heart lifted slightly, and his breathing became a little hot.
She regarded him as a friend, right?
"We are mortal enemies. What image do I need to care about in front of you!"
Xie Guanyan: "..."
The corner of Xie Guanyan's mouth stiffened slightly, and then a faint smile appeared, "Hmm."
Different paths lead to the same destination, it's all the same.
When the handsome man nodded, a string in Lin Mo's mind seemed to break.
In an instant, the tears in her eyes couldn't stop falling.
"The fourth brother is so pitiful, Aunt Zhen is so pitiful, those human traffickers deserve to die, I want to beat them to death!"
She cried and muttered.
Bean - sized tears fell on the sofa, turning the green into dark green.
"I miss my parents so much, I miss them..." The girl's voice became more choked.
Crying loudly to vent her emotions was what Xie Guanyan wanted to see.
So he sat aside and said nothing, quietly watching her cry.
But the bottom of his eyes behind the glasses was full of uncontrollable heartache.
He raised his hand to pat her back, but restrained himself halfway and just handed her a tissue.
Lin Mo cried more and more fiercely, until she cried out a snot bubble.
Realizing this, the remaining reason in her brain made her cover her face, "Amaterasu!"
She secretly reached for the tissue on the coffee table with her other hand.
Oh my God! She said she didn't care about her image, but this was too embarrassing!
It was really hard not to laugh when seeing the girl covering her face and secretly taking tissues.
As soon as Lin Mo wiped her nose clean, she saw the man holding back a laugh.
She glared at him, raised her chin, and her voice was slightly hoarse from crying, "Hmph! Laugh if you want, I don't care!"
The girl's eyes were watery after crying. Her originally fair nose tip was now red, alluring without her knowing it.
Her beautiful peach - blossom eyes widened slightly, without any deterrent force, like a kitten scratching with its paw, only making people feel itchy.
In the end, he couldn't hold back.
A faint laugh escaped from the man's throat, making his chest tremble.
He said that, but when Xie Guanyan really laughed, Lin Mo became unhappy again.
Alcohol made her stand up impulsively, reached out and grabbed Xie Guanyan's tie, threatening him, "Okay, you really laugh. I'll remember you, kid!"
The girl's sudden approach was unexpected by Xie Guanyan.
He was sitting, and she was standing.
He was grabbed by the tie and forced to look up at her.
When she spoke, her warm breath with the aroma of red wine sprayed on his face.
The heat quickly spread throughout his body. His two well - boned hands pressed on the sofa and couldn't help sinking. The blue veins on his cold white back of hands bulged.
The handsome man looked up. It was the first time Lin Mo looked at him from this angle.
Because he was more than ten centimeters taller than her.
From this angle and such a close distance, she could clearly see the thick and long eyelashes behind the man's glasses, his straight nose bridge, and the swaying tea - colored mole on the tip of his nose.
Lin Mo's throat suddenly became dry, and her gaze moved down.
The man's lips, which were as beautiful as petals, came into her sight.
They were thin and slightly red, soft.
They looked very kissable.
The sad emotion was replaced by a yellow emotion.
Lin Mo's heart suddenly beat faster, thumping loudly.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong."
The man who was usually unattainable raised his chin, his thin lips slightly parted. His voice was clear and soft, and his cold white and sexy Adam's apple rolled, which was extremely bewitching.
She blinked her eyes, and Lin Mo snorted proudly, "That's more like it!"
She let go of the tie in her hand, but her heart didn't slow down because of this, "I'll go upstairs to sleep first, I'm tired from crying!"
Xie Guanyan didn't keep her. His voice was inexplicably restrained and hoarse, "Hmm, good night."
A glass of red wine still didn't make Lin Mo lose her ability to move. She ran upstairs quickly, leaving only a faint fragrance.
She didn't see the abnormal red on Xie Guanyan's face, nor did she see the boundless desire in his eyes.
The girl's figure disappeared from his sight. He looked down and said in a somewhat cold voice, "Be sensible. If you keep doing this, you'll scare her one day."
Little Xie Guanyan: "..."
