Chapter 366 - 367: I Will Make You Speak First
On the highway, there is a platform meant for passing tourists to take a temporary rest and enjoy the scenic mountain views.
Bai Lu and Lu Li walked over and stood on the platform, looking out at the mountains surrounded by autumn red maple leaves and feeling the cool breeze blowing.
Bai Lu was admiring the scenery, while Lu Li was admiring Bai Lu who was admiring the scenery.
Noticing Lu Li’s intense gaze, Bai Lu turned her head to look at the man beside her.
With most men, after Bai Lu criticized Lu Li that night, they wouldn’t contact her again.
This was Bai Lu’s ideal situation, but for some reason, Lu Li was like an undefeatable cockroach—persistently courageous, fighting despite repeated defeats.
"Bai Lu, I just heard Lou Xi say something about your past." Lu Li spoke, breaking the calm between them.
Bai Lu responded with a hum.
"Don’t be angry. I was the one who insisted on asking her, not that she volunteered to tell me." Lu Li immediately explained, wanting to avoid any problems between Bai Lu and her close friend’s relationship because of him.
Bai Lu simply laughed—not a cold laugh, but a genuine smile from the heart.
What was she laughing at?
But regardless of what Bai Lu was laughing at, her face showed a clean smile that made Lu Li lift his hand and tuck Bai Lu’s stray hair behind her ear.
Lu Li’s warm fingertip touched Bai Lu’s sensitive skin near her ear, making Bai Lu unconsciously shrink back, wanting to avoid it.
She seemed to have never had close contact with the opposite sex; even with her ex-boyfriend, when they broke up, he said he felt nothing being with her.
So in Bai Lu’s experience, men should be animals who think with the lower half of their bodies.
"Sorry, I couldn’t help it." Lu Li withdrew his hand and stuffed the guilty hand back into his pocket.
Bai Lu withdrew her somewhat chaotic gaze. "It’s okay."
"Bai Lu, what I want to say is, there are certainly many bad men in this world, but there are also many responsible ones. Don’t paint all men with the same brush. More importantly, don’t miss out on someone who truly likes you because of one man." Lu Li couldn’t remember how many times he confessed his feelings now.
Yet, as long as life goes on, the confessions don’t stop.
Until she agrees.
"I know." Thus, Lou Xi was able to meet someone like Young Master Qin, a good man. Bai Lu didn’t paint everyone with the same brush.
"If you know that, then why still..." not accept him?
"But Lu Li, I don’t really want to be in a relationship right now."
"Do you not want to be in a relationship, or do you not want to be in a relationship with me?" Lu Li’s question was piercing, and as he asked Bai Lu, he even stepped forward two steps.
Lu Li indeed had the aura of a domineering CEO, and at this moment, as he approached Bai Lu, she felt an overwhelming pressure.
Even the heart, which had never stirred beneath her left chest, was now beating rapidly.
Yes, her heart was moved.
As Bai Lu looked into Lu Li’s deep eyes, she suddenly forgot what she was about to do and just stared blankly at him.
Do men really say one thing and do another, can they really hold back?
Bai Lu was already cornered against the railing by Lu Li, engulfed by his intense masculine aura.
