Jiang Jiayi didn't want to argue with Gu Linxi. They had only just made up their minds, so Jiang Jiayi was only slightly dissatisfied with the fact that Gu Linxi and Zhao Haoyu were going to eat together. However, Jiang Jiayi understood clearly in his heart that he couldn't ask Gu Linxi to not meet anyone, and only guard him as a ghost. Not to mention, if his plan succeeded, then only he would be left.

Therefore, this could be considered as the final period of time that he would have to indulge Gu Linxi. Jiang Jiayi did not wish for him to live such a restricted life. Furthermore, it was always a bit inconvenient for him to travel with Gu Linxi. He wanted to find the old man Gu Linxi had mentioned. Perhaps the old man would have the information she wanted.

Most importantly, Jiang Jiayi hoped to obtain the other party's help. He didn't have any way to directly touch anything outside of Gu Rinxi's, so he needed the help of humans. Jiang Jiayi temporarily didn't wish for Gu Linxi to know about this matter either, because he had a feeling that Gu Linxi would never agree to it. Living with him in the Dark Kingdom for eternity, Gu Linxi wouldn't like living like that.

"Aren't you coming with me?" When Gu Linxi heard that Jiang Jiayi wasn't going to meet with him today, she was quite surprised. This Jiang Jiayi, who she didn't know, actually gave up on the idea of following his. Could it be that she had truly thought it through and comprehended it?

"I believe you." Jiang Jiayi had dared to let Gu Linxi keep her appointment because he believed that Gu Linxi would not do something that would disappoint him.

These four words weren't easy to utter out from Jiang Jiayi's mouth, and Gu Lingxi also knew it. Suspicious and sensitive. This was what she'd seen from Jiang Jiayi. However, Gu Linxi had always appeared to be very reliant on Jiang Jiayi, so they didn't have any arguments on this matter.

Gu Linxi was able to tolerate a sensitive and suspicious mood like Jiang Jiayi's, but if Jiang Jiayi was willing to correct him, that would be for the best. Jiang Jiayi had always been worried about the relationship between him and other men. Whether it was Xie Sisi or the other boys, he had always wanted to keep his distance from them.

Even now, Jiang Jiayi had always wanted to maintain the distance between him and Zhao Haoyu. Gu Linxi had always thought that Jiang Jiayi would continue to maintain this state, but in the end, he had suddenly said that she believed in herself. This sentence was truly against the rules. After waiting for so many years, did Jiang Jiayi finally feel the sense of security that came from his own body?

"If you want me to go with you, I can go too." After Jiang Jiayi finished speaking, he felt a faint sense of regret. Even though Gu Linxi was so infatuated with him, he still felt a sense of insecurity, as if everything he possessed was like flowers in a mirror and the moon in the water. The root of the problem, either because of his personality or because this love originated from cheating.

Gu Linxi smiled. This was Jiang Jiayi's style, but since he had already given in, he should act like a man and keep his promises.

"Then I'll go on my appointment."

Jiang Jiayi was a little disappointed. At that moment, he really had hoped that Gu Linxi would ask him to go with them. Unfortunately, Gu Linxi hadn't said such a thing. He was used to wanting to control all of Gu Lingxi's life. Now that he suddenly said that she wanted to let go of her control because she trusted Gu Jingxi, it was undoubtedly a huge challenge for Jiang Jiayi.

The lack of a sense of security caused Jiang Jiayi to want to take more control of Gu Lin Xi's everything. Only by acting this way would he feel that Gu Lin Xi belonged to him from the beginning to the end. To carve the inscription that belonged to him into Gu Linxi's bones, this was what he wanted to do the most.

This time, Gu Linxi and Zhao Haoyu met in a mid-class restaurant, which had nothing to do with mood. However, this sort of environment made Gu Linxi feel even more relaxed. If it was that type of couple's restaurant, she probably wouldn't be able to eat with Zhao Haoyu.

"Sometimes, I feel like you really understand other people's thoughts." After sitting down, Gu Lingxi felt much more relaxed without Jiang Jiayi beside him. When Jiang Jiayi was by his side, Gu Linxi would involuntarily look at and pay attention to her thoughts.

Zhao Haoyu smiled as he heard this. He crossed his hands on the table, and said in a serious tone, "I will always be a bit more cautious when facing people I care about."

"I even thought it was because you had too many female friends that practice made perfect?" Gu Linxi joked.

"Even if I drown three thousand, I'll take one ladle myself."

Zhao Haoyu said these words as if he was hitting a snake, his attitude very upright. On the other hand, Gu Linxi felt somewhat embarrassed. As long as she was sane, she would be able to understand the meaning behind Zhao Haoyu's words. Fortunately, at that moment, the waiter had just served some hot dishes that he'd ordered earlier. Gu Linxi also felt that it wasn't that awkward anymore.

"I heard that the beef in this restaurant is especially delicious. Try it." Zhao Haoyu picked up a piece of beef with the chopsticks and placed it into Gu Lingxi's bowl, waiting expectantly for him to taste it.

Gu Linxi looked at the beef in her bowl and felt that Zhao Haoyu was a truly unbelievable person. She really liked eating beef. He didn't think that Zhao Haoyu would actually know about it. A little ripple appeared in her heart, gently stirring up a little bit of water.

"How do you know? I like beef."

Zhao Haoyu squinted his eyes, and laughed: "Isn't that obvious? "As long as we observe a little more, we'll be able to find out."

"Did you bring me here because the beef was so good?" Gu Linxi felt a little touched. It had nothing to do with love. Perhaps it was because she felt that there was such a person who would take care of his own taste, so she had a feeling of being extremely lucky. Jiang Jiayi had never done these things before. He would only feel that something was more nutritious and wouldn't ask for his opinion.

"Yes." Zhao Haoyu nodded. Of course, it was because this place was famous for cooking beef that he recommended this place.

Gu Linxi felt a lump in her throat. It was impossible for her to repay Zhao Haoyu's kindness. She was someone who was easily moved, and also someone who was especially prone to feeling guilt. Zhao Haoyu's kind of feeling made her feel somewhat vexed and somewhat burdened.

"You …" Zhao Haoyu's gaze had always been on Gu Linxi, so he felt that there was a little moisture in Gu Lingxi's eyes. He didn't understand the reason, and didn't dare to rashly ask.

Gu Linxi blinked her eyes in disguise, then said with a smile, "I just think that the taste of this beef is really very good, that's why I'm a little excited."

Was it that exaggerated? With some suspicion, Zhao Haoyu picked up a piece of beef and gave it a try. He felt that it was quite good. But if he really wanted to excite others, he was still a little bit off.
