On the winding mountain road, the two of them walked in front of each other, always keeping a distance that was neither far nor close.

His back is long and her figure is slender.

He Yining has to go back and forth on this road almost every day. During the walking time, she will pass the boring time by looking at the scenery.

The layers of vegetation on the mountains in the distance are like carpets, and the tall birch forests stand like pillars. Occasionally, you can see pheasants and wild birds suddenly flying out of the forest.

Gu Nianxi walked for a while and suddenly stopped.

Looking back, "He Yining, can you walk faster?"

She withdrew her distant gaze and looked at him intently.

He is so good-looking, with exquisite features and delicate features. Among the brothers in the Gu family, he seems to have inherited all the advantages of his parents and carried them forward.

"Why Yi Ning..." He shouted again impatiently, then strode over, grabbed her hand, and muttered, "As slow as a turtle."

She stared at the hand he held hers in surprise. His fingers were slender, the joints were distinct, and the nails were neatly manicured. Because he often held guns and trained, his palms had a thin layer of calluses.

She was stunned for a moment, but he already pulled her forward.

She blushed and her heart beat, and she tried to pull away, but he held her tighter, but during the whole process, he kept looking at the sky.

Gu Nianxi, what is he doing? Didn't he take his medicine this morning?

He was sure that he really understood the action of holding hands, which was only between lovers.

"He Yining, what's your ink mark? If you move around again, I'll throw you into a ditch."

There was a thin layer of sweat on her palms, either from heat or from nervousness.

They had never been so intimate before, and Gu Nianxi didn't like others touching his hands. She usually had to be careful when dressing and wearing hats for him.

She couldn't understand more and more how Gu Nianxi, his Martian thinking, and his superhuman brain worked.

He held her hand and walked in front, and she followed behind him like a frustrated little daughter-in-law. Occasionally, he pulled her forward hard, and she shrank back like a turtle.

He glared at her, and she shrank even more.

This is not called holding hands, no matter how you look at it, it's just trying to catch a duck.

The two of them awkwardly returned to Gu's house. When they saw the guard outside the door, Gu Nianxi finally let go of his hand.

He Yining rubbed his sore palms and glared at him angrily.

Her hand was almost broken by his grip. People who are used to holding guns and cannons are neither light nor heavy.

The living room of the Gu family seemed to be very lively, even Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu, who usually rarely showed up, were present.

Surrounding them were Gu Zhonglei, the second son of the Gu family, and Xu Cuicui, the eldest son of the Gu family, and Gu Yu, his wife, Xi Juan.

Seeing Gu Nianxi and He Yining walk in, the atmosphere in the living room seemed to change slightly.

He Yining was sensitively aware that these people's eyes seemed to be scanning her intentionally or unintentionally.

Especially Xu Cuicui, the way she looked at her was obviously arrogant and complacent.

He Yining had long been accustomed to this family's attitude towards her. She was just a down-and-out daughter with no money and no power in the family. Gu Nianxi was probably just crazy when he married her in the first place.

She was bending to change her shoes when she heard Gu Zhonglei say loudly: "Xiao Si, you are back."

He Yining's hand shook and his shoes almost fell to the floor.

Gu Nianxi hates it when people call him Xiaosi.

Sure enough, he immediately ran towards Gu Zhonglei angrily like a cat with exploded fur.

"Second brother, don't call me Xiaosi."

"Xiaosi, Xiaosi, you are ranked fourth, can I still call you Xiaoliu?"

"How am I too small?" he retorted with wide eyes. He was big in all the places where he should be big.

He Yining silently thought in his heart, you are small-minded.
