Her firm arms lightly seized ahold of her, not caring in the slightest that her entire body was drenched in Gu An Xia's filth. Ouyang Yu easily caught the little kitten that was acting like a spoiled child and lovingly ruffled her hair.
"No matter who she is, or the English tycoon, or the French princess, or the nobles of Java, you are not allowed to go! "You only need me, stay by my side, don't leave me!"
She no longer had to hide. She no longer had to hide from herself. She was finally willing to look straight into her heart. She wanted this man to surround her, with only herself in his eyes!
Just like his overbearing imprisonment, unknowingly, Gu An Xia had also captured this man.
"Alright, I'll always be by your side, not even taking a single step away."
Ouyang Yu's voice was like quicksand in warm water, gently flowing into Gu An Xia's ears. It was light and shallow, but it was like a violent storm, stirring up her already frantic heartbeat.
A fire seemed to be burning in her chest, spreading all the way to her neck and cheeks.
Ouyang Yu looked at her dotingly, his fingers caressing Gu An Xia's cheeks. This sudden connection of hearts had moved all of them.
In the midst of the infatuation, Gu An Xia also extended his hand, his fingertip swiping from Ouyang Yu's full forehead to his straight nose and finally landing on her sexy and smiling lips.
"Kiss me."
Without concealing anything, she revealed what she was thinking in her heart. Her voice was soft and delicate, as if she had gone through a thousand twists and turns before finally being able to speak out.
Before he finished speaking, Ouyang Yu had already leaned forward, and as if she was moving at a slow pace, she slowly approached Gu An Xia's somewhat trembling lips.
The moment their noses were lightly rubbed against each other, time suddenly stopped at a distance of a few centimeters.
Ouyang Yu closed his eyes slightly, the gentle way he kissed her was still fresh in his mind. But Gu An Xia did not have the mentality to enjoy it anymore.
Cold! She was so cold! It was like being thrown into a frozen lake in winter. The cold water seeped into her limbs and bones, making her teeth shiver.
Just when she felt like she was about to freeze to death, her vision suddenly turned black.
Then, Gu An Xia opened his eyes!
She looked around. Everything was normal.
She was taking a bath, but the moisture in the bathroom had long since dispersed and the water in the bathtub was completely cold.
Furthermore, there were no traces of Ouyang Yu. There was only herself, lying in the cold water in a daze, her body stiff like a salted fish that had its water sucked dry.
However, Gu An Xia was obviously not completely awake yet, she still stuck her head out and tried to search for Ouyang Yu's figure. If this was really Ouyang Yu's trap, then what kind of trick was it to test him? It would be good for him not to be tricked too miserably.
But no, the tall and handsome figure didn't appear, and the surroundings didn't have the faint smell of his incense.
It was all her own imagination. From beginning to end, she was the only one here. She fell into the bathtub and had a very real, spring dream.
She even felt that the temperature of Ouyang Yu's fingertips were still on her face, being affected by his gentle words to the point that her heart was still violently beating, and she didn't have the slightest intention of calming down!
Gu An Xia propped herself up, and amidst the jingling of the water, she grabbed her bathrobe and donned it, then walked out of the bathtub.
The soft, thick carpet was right under her feet, and the fine fur rubbed against the gaps between her fingers, making her feel extremely comfortable. Droplets of water slid down her body and landed on her calves.
Gu An Xia walked to the french window. In the pitch black night, the glass reflected Gu An Xia's posture of standing still.
The woman was still the same as before. When she stood up straight, she would straighten her chest and be as proud as a queen. She was thinner than before, but her expression was softer and more moving.
Gu An Xia leaned towards the glass and looked at those eyes, they were as clear and moving as ever, but she knew that there was a longing and nostalgia there that she never had before.
She knew that her dream just now was fake, but everything she said in the dream was true.
What she did not dare to say during the day, what she denied and suppressed in her heart, were easily revealed in her dreams.
"How lonely …."
Suddenly, she felt envious of the person in her dreams. He could brazenly say things that she, who was still conscious, didn't even dare to think about.
The further he looked at the shore and the waves, the more desolate Gu An Xia felt as he looked at the pure white moon in the sky.
At this point, she could no longer fool herself with the Stockholm syndrome she thought was ridiculous. She was neither sick nor a psychopath.
She only missed Ouyang Yu, and really wanted to see him.
From the moment Ouyang Yu left, she became restless and impatient. She kept walking non-stop, went to the study room to read, and went for a stroll in the garden. She wanted to find something to do, but she realized that she was usually doing extremely satisfying things.
It was only then that she realized that she seemed to be looking for something more than doing it.
Out of habit, she would look for the place where Ouyang Yu had stayed.
"... Ouyang Yu. "
Gu An Xia muttered this name in his heart, the emotions in his heart spinning a hundred times, as if all sorts of feelings were tangled together and churning her heart.
If he was there, would she have hugged him like she was in a dream, flirted with him, kissed him like a lover?
Unconsciously nodding his head, Gu An Xia looked at his own reflection in the glass and bitterly smiled.
But Ouyang Yu? Had he already met that girl and was now very close to her?
Unknowingly, her bone marrow had been taken over by Ouyang Yu, but that man was in a distant country facing another woman.
Sadly, she now felt that if Ouyang Yu could hug and coax her again, she would probably fall into a trap of gentleness. Like a little kitten, she would wholeheartedly depend on this man.
If he hesitated any longer, perhaps he would never be able to stand up again in this lifetime.
After switching off the light, Gu An Xia turned around and wrapped herself in a huge, thick blanket. Without Ouyang Yu's embrace, she subconsciously felt empty space behind her.
She looked out the window at the moonlight, and her eyes became determined.
She was going! Whatever the cost, she had to go!
She could not bear to see her love fall into despair, and she did not dare imagine how she would look in the future with her cute children, lonely, looking forward to Ouyang Yu's pitiful appearance.
Truly, he was so in love that he was lonely.
Gu An Xia had never felt the meaning of these words before.
Even though she was doted on and carried in her heart, she still felt indignant, unsatisfied, and unable to let it go.
After letting out a deep sigh, Gu An Xia tightly gripped the blanket on his shoulder and slowly closed his eyes.
"Good night." Very, very far away, Ouyang Yu.
