Chapter 108: Incompetent
After a while, the two calmed down from their passionate kiss.
Gu Jingzhi looked down at Li Xi's beautiful face, rosy eyes and moist red lips in his arms, and felt his heart filled with joy.
Li Xi calmed herself down a bit, stepped out of his arms, avoided his burning gaze, coughed lightly and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "You go out first, I need to change my clothes."
Seeing her shy look, Gu Jingzhi took a deep breath to calm down the restlessness in his body, "Okay, I'll wait for you outside."
After he said that, he stood up and walked out, closing the door behind him.
Seeing the door closed, Li Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief, covered her burning cheeks with her hands, and fell into the quilt.
Ah ah ah ah ah!
How did things turn out like this!
How did they kiss?
Li Xi listened as she raised her head from the quilt with a head of messy hair. With a look of despair, she gently touched her still numb red lips with her hand. What happened to her just now? Why did she kiss Gu Jingzhi?
Now you've got yourself into this.
Although Gu Jingzhi outside the door looked as if nothing could be seen from his expression, the redness that had just appeared on his neck had long since disappeared.
He sat on a stool in the main room, looking outside the yard, then at the closed door. His Adam's apple rolled up and down twice. He subconsciously picked up the teacup on the table, but when the cup touched his lips, he realized there was no water in it.
He coughed lightly, put down the teacup as if nothing had happened, then stood up and paced back and forth.
Li Xi dejected for a moment, then began to put on clothes and pack up. If he stretched his head out, he would be cut by a knife. If he lowered his head, he would also be cut by a knife. So he would just take it one step at a time.
After packing up, Li Xi pushed the door and walked out.
Gu Jingzhi, who was outside, heard the voice and looked over here, and happened to meet the eyes of Li Xi who had just come out.
Li Xi resisted the urge to avoid his gaze and looked straight at him, "Hey, what are you looking at? It's just a kiss, what's the big deal."
After she finished speaking, she sat down at the table, picked up the teapot, poured herself a glass of water, and drank it in one gulp.
Gu Jingzhi listened to Li Xi's words, his eyes deepened, "Oh? So a kiss is not a big deal, it seems that Xixi knows a lot about this kind of thing."
Li Xi choked when she heard that. But now that she had said that, how could she give in? Go! She had to go! She had to let Gu Jingzhi know who was the boss!
"That's natural. Love between men and women is normal. There's nothing to be surprised about." Li Xi looked at Gu Jingzhi with disdain and said.
Gu Jingzhi raised his eyebrows, and seeing her stubborn look, he just thought it was cute and funny, "Really? I don't really understand this, it seems I'll have to ask Xixi for more guidance in the future."
Li Xi: “…”
Is this guy teasing me?
"It's easy to talk about."
It's better to lose the battle than the fight. She must not retreat at this moment, gritting her teeth, otherwise she would be laughed at by this guy.
Gu Jingzhi raised the corner of his mouth and walked towards Li Xi.
Seeing Gu Jingzhi walking in, Li Xi stepped back subconsciously and looked at him defensively, "What are you doing?"
Gu Jingzhi blinked and sat down on the stool next to her, "What do you think I want to do?"
"Ahem." Li Xi avoided his sight. "Just talk, why are you getting so close to me?"
Seeing her embarrassed and angry look, Gu Jingzhi stopped teasing her, lest she get really angry and embarrassed.
Li Xi didn't want to discuss what happened with him anymore, so she asked, "Shouldn't you be busy interrogating the prisoners in the jail? How do you have time to come to me?"
"The matter in prison has been resolved." Gu Jingzhi understood what kind of person Li Xi was. She had never been a dodder who depended on a man. She was someone who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
So he never intended to hide anything from her, especially since the group of people in the prison were also related to her.
"Solved?" Li Xi was a little surprised.
Although she was born in New China and grew up under the red flag and has not seen much darkness, thanks to the development of the times, she has watched many spy war dramas.
People who can be spies must have undergone special training. Such people often have their own beliefs and will never easily reveal anything about their organization.
Of course, I also said that it will not be easy, not that it is absolutely impossible. After all, there are still some things in this world that are absolutely impossible.
But Gu Jingzhi's speed was a bit too fast.
Things were exactly as Li Xi had thought. Normally, spies had to undergo special training, and they would only be sent out to do things after their loyalty was guaranteed.
After all, being a spy is like walking on the edge of a knife and walking a tightrope on a cliff. You never know when you will be exposed and caught. Death is their relief after being caught.
Gong Yikun originally wanted to die with his men, but unfortunately, Gu Jingzhi did not give him this opportunity, and he could only become a prisoner.
Gong Yikun and Wang Qiliang's loyalty to their masters is unquestionable, but who made them meet such bad teammates?
Their loyalty is unquestionable, but the same may not be true for others. They came to the border this time and recruited Wang Linquan and others into the team in order to expand their manpower.
The main reason for choosing them was that Wang Linquan and others did not know the identity of the master behind them, so even if they were discovered, their master would not be implicated.
But what they didn't expect was that Wang Linquan actually overheard their conversation and knew the identity of the person behind the scenes.
I think they should be regretting it now, Gu Jingzhi couldn't help but think.
After listening to Gu Jingzhi's retelling, of course, Gu Jingzhi did not tell Li Xi those bloody events truthfully.
Li Xi suddenly felt that Gong Yikun and the others were quite pitiful for meeting an opponent like Gu Jingzhi.
"You have known for a long time that the master behind them is that Third Prince, right?" Li Xi looked at him with narrowed eyes.
How was it possible that he could have revealed the identity of the person behind the scenes with just the first sentence? Obviously, he had already guessed the identity of that person and he said it just to confirm it.
Gu Jingzhi smiled when he heard this, "As expected, Xixi knows me best."
Seeing Gu Jingzhi's worthless look, Li Xi suddenly felt goose bumps all over her body, "You can't talk to me in this tone, it sounds awkward.
You can just call me Li Xi."
"Calling me Li Xi would make it seem like we are too unfamiliar with each other." Gu Jingzhi refused.
Li Xi also couldn't accept him calling her like that. It was okay now, but if someone else heard him calling her like that, she couldn't guarantee that she would not dig a hole and bury him and the person who heard him calling her like that.
"I think it's good, not strange at all." Li Xi insisted, "Calling me Xixi or something like that is too corny, I can't accept it."
She is allergic to corny things and cannot accept them.
