Substitute Bride: The Gentle Husband of the Evil Girl is Crazy and Wild

Due to work reasons, Li Xiaoyu is used to considering things from multiple angles.

Li Fugui carried the bucket and walked back, and she followed behind him holding the rope. "It's just a guess at the moment."

"What if it's true?"

Thinking of his live-in son-in-law, Li Fugui felt as if he were being pricked by needles all over.

After all, he is the only son in his family.

Li Xiaoyu put his hands behind his back and kept pressing the surface of the rope with his index fingers.

He said thoughtfully: "Don't rush to confirm it. This is just one of your guesses. If you think about it from another angle, there are at least several possibilities."

"What are the possibilities?" Li Fugui didn't quite understand.

The woman slowly explained to him, "One of them is the live-in son-in-law you mentioned."

"The second possibility is that the master simply admires you, so he doesn't want to accept the apprentice gift."

Li Fugui was impatient. Just as he was about to ask the carpenter's daughter what to do if she ran away shyly after seeing him, he heard Li Xiaoyu's slightly hoarse voice slowly say:

"The third possibility is that the carpenter's daughter doesn't like you. She is just shy and easily blushes when she sees a man."

After she said this, Li Fugui had just finished climbing all the stone steps.

He turned around with two buckets of water on his shoulders, and the buckets turned with him. Li Xiaoyu quickly walked down the stairs several steps to avoid the buckets hitting his face.

"Yeah, why didn't I think about it? Maybe we are overthinking."

Watching his expression change from gloomy to smiling, Li Xiaoyu held the edge of the bucket with his hand.

He smiled helplessly and said, "Don't get excited."

Seeing her movements, Li Fugui realized that he almost hurt her. He wanted to reach out to see if she was okay, but it was inconvenient to do so while carrying water.

I quickly apologized to her, "Xiaoyu, I'm sorry, I almost hurt you."

Li Xiaoyu didn't care about that. He smiled and waved his hands, "I'm fine. I should be grateful if you can help me fetch water. Let's go."

The two continued walking towards Gu's house.

Li Fugui looks like a second-rate guy, but actually he is not a very thoughtful person. He asked Li Xiaoyu how he could know what the carpenter meant.

The two were friends, and the latter was naturally happy to tell how to resolve such matters.

I heard the footsteps coming into the yard one after another, then I heard Li Xiaoyu teaching Li Fugui how to handle interpersonal relationships, and then I heard the footsteps coming out of the kitchen.

Gu Fei was very calm at this moment, so calm that when Li Xiaoyu entered the main room, he felt like he had entered an ice cave.

She shuddered and invited Li Fugui to come in and sit down.

"Come in and sit for a while. I bought some rice cakes last time. I'll give them to you." There were eight pieces of rice cakes in a box, and Gu Fei only ate one.

Li Fugui was very happy to have rice cakes to eat.

He looked at the man sitting on the bench who didn't look like a cripple, thought of his grandmother's instructions, and shook his head decisively.

He smiled brightly and said, "No need to sit down. I just came to discuss something with you today. I'll just eat a piece of rice cake and leave."

Li Xiaoyu followed his line of sight and glanced at the man who was sitting elegantly.

Probably thought of something.

He pursed his lips, said no more, went back to his room, took out the box, and walked in front of Li Fugui.

To thank him for helping to fetch water, when he took one piece, she stuffed three more into his hand, "If you like it, take more."

Li Fugui has no other hobbies except eating cakes.

Li Xiaoyu gave a little too much. There was another man in her family, and most of it was given to him. What did they eat?

Holding the three rice cakes in his hand, he took big steps back.

"Three pieces are enough. If you give me more, you won't have anything to eat."

"It's okay, I can buy it later." Gu Fei only ate one piece in two days. She thought he probably didn't like it.

Hearing her words, Gu Fei put the brush on the inkstone.

His expression was dark and unreadable.

Li Fugui refused to take any more rice cakes. He chatted with Li Xiaoyu for a few more words, then said hello to Gu Fei and left in a hurry.

As soon as he left, Gu Fei said three meaningful words to the woman who turned around and went back to her room to put the box.

“He loves to eat…”

Li Xiaoyu was about to enter the room when he heard the voice. He paused, tilted his head to look at his profile, and frowned slightly.

I don't quite understand what he meant.

Just when I was about to ask him what he wanted to say, I heard his voice without any fluctuation coming towards me like a layer of frost.

"Li Xiaoyu, you said that during the six months I was here, you would play the role of a good wife and not flirt with other people. Do you think I'm dead now?"

What is he saying?

She held the box and faced him, frowning, and replied in confusion: "Fugui helped me carry water, and we are friends. Besides, you don't like this rice cake, and it will go bad easily if you keep it at home."

"He likes it, so what if I give him a few more pieces?"

She answered directly and frankly, and it is no exaggeration to say that she is a straight woman.

Gu Feizhi couldn't blame her for not caring. For someone who wanted to kill her all the time, she couldn't help but want to get rid of him.

That was worse than a nightmare.

After a moment of silence, he suppressed the gloom in his heart and softened his voice: "How do you know I don't like it?"

Not noticing that he had changed his mind, Li Xiaoyu listened to his slightly gentle voice, walked to the table with the box in his arms, and sat down on the bench next to him.

He pursed his lips and said helplessly, "You only ate one piece in two days."

“People will not eat just one piece of the food they like, even if they don’t eat a lot. Eating just one piece only means they don’t like it.”

What she said was right, but Gu Fei didn't show any embarrassment on her face.

At his level, there are very few things that can make him show his feelings on his face.

"Open the box."

"Forget it." Although he didn't know why he changed his mind, Li Xiaoyu was unwilling to force others to eat food they didn't like.

She stood up holding the box. "Don't force yourself if you don't like it. When I get paid this time, I'll buy you the cakes you like."

After saying that, she went back to her room.

Gu Fei likes the feeling of the breeze blowing on her body.

He tilted his head to look at the yard, his elbows resting on the table, his head slightly tilted, and one hand supporting his forehead.

His expression was extremely indifferent.

The cold wind stimulated his skin, penetrating into his skin little by little, wrapping up the hot blood. He felt the temperature of the blood flow drop.

The biting cold gave him a torturous pleasure.

As soon as the woman came out of the room, she heard the man say, "I don't like cakes."

Adhering to the idea that only by serving the client's father well can one have a good life, Li Xiaoyu asked while getting charcoal pencils and paper: "Then what do you like?"

"Dead man," the voice was calm and gentle.

"..."

Li Xiaoyu's hands trembled and she rubbed her forearms subconsciously.

She pursed her lips and looked at the man in silence. This sight suddenly gave her a sense of shock.

Gu Fei had a lazy posture and a gentle and well-behaved smile.

He looked harmless, and in the past, he would only scare her when he smiled like this.

I don't know why, at this moment he...

She actually showed a hint of desolation in her smile.

It was like... a group of people were walking in the desert, but they only abandoned him.

There is no embarrassment and no need for others' pity.

There is only desolation sweeping in wrapped in yellow sand.

The cold wind kept blowing in, and Li Xiaoyu's thoughts were interrupted by a light sentence, "It's not you."
