C435 Choice
In fact, Gu Xiaobai did not want her to do anything, nor did he want her to pay him back.
Being asked so seriously by the girl, he was actually stunned by the question.
Tang Tang waited for a while but did not get an answer. She could not help but raise her head impatiently, but when she saw the person in front of her in a daze, she immediately became angry.
"Hey! Did you hear what I said?! What do you want me to do to write off the debt?!"
Ah, how infuriating! This person looks quite smart. Why is he so stupid at times? I really want to step on him!
It was obvious that he was rich. What was the price of a loaf of bread? Yet, he still insisted on not letting it go. He was really too stingy!
Gu Xiaobai came back to his senses and heard Tang Tang's fragmented thoughts. He could not help but laugh.
Tang Tang rolled her eyes. "What are you laughing at?"
Gu Xiaobai laughed even louder, to the extent that he could not stop it.
"Shut up!" Tang Tang was furious, and she viciously kicked his calf. "If you laugh again, I'll leave!"
"Hiss!" Gu Xiaobai almost jumped up in pain. This girl was really ruthless.
"I just wanted to say that it's true that I have money, but it's not natural for me to pay you. Don't you think so?"
Tang Tang was stunned for a moment. Only then did she realize that she had just said what she was thinking and had been heard by the person in question.
Usually, she was still a little girl even if she did not have a proper appearance. For a moment, her face turned red, but she was still unable to save her face. She muttered, "I did not ask you to give him money."
Gu Xiaobai sighed softly, "If you don't give him money, you will still be beaten up."
The man's slender fingers caressed the girl's slightly swollen face. The sea breeze was cool, and the cold temperature of his fingertips made Tang Tang shrink a little.
"You're a girl. You have to learn to protect yourself."
Tang Tang stopped talking.
She didn't want to either. But if not, she and her grandfather would have starved to death.
Gu Xiaobai half squatted down and stood on the same level as the girl. He looked straight into her eyes and asked, "Are you willing to go with me?"
Tang Tang looked at him in surprise. The girl's bright eyes made Gu Xiaobai's heart soften.
"What do you mean?" Tang Tang pursed her lips and asked bitterly, "Although I don't have money, I'm also self-loving. I won't sell myself to you just like that."
Gu Xiaobai was stunned for a moment before he understood what she meant. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he managed to hold back his smile with difficulty. "What nonsense are you talking about!"
He stood up. "Look, you don't have money, either. If I ask you to return it, you won't be able to return it. Why don't you come with me? I'll help you study. In the future, you can return the money to me. How about it? "
Tang Tang had lived with her old grandfather for many years. She had long tasted the cold and warmth of the human world. Not only did she not feel any pleasant surprise when she heard him, she became even more vigilant instead.
"There's such a good thing?"
"I don't believe it. Are you trying to trick me and let me be in your hands? I'll let you do whatever you want."
Gu Xiaobai did not expect her to be so vigilant. At the same time, he felt gratified and a little distressed.
If she had not experienced pain, how could she be so worldly?
He thought about it and felt that he was trying to use good words to trick her into following him. He was afraid that it was impossible.
However, he did not want Tang Tang to feel that he was helping her. It could be seen that the young girl was young, but her self-esteem was still very strong.
"Actually..." Gu Xiaobai slowly opened his mouth. " You guessed right. I did not insist on bringing you away just because of that bit of money."
Although he was already eighteen years old and had grown up, when he talked about his past, the big boy still shyly rubbed his nose.
Tang Tang had already coldly snorted, "I knew it, you definitely don't have good intentions!"
"No!" Gu Xiaobai hurriedly defended himself, "Actually, it's like this."
"When I was young, I was in a bad mood because my mother wasn't by my side. Then, at that time, I met a little girl..."
The moon was just right, and the waves were like songs.
... "In the end, she suddenly disappeared. It was as if her entire family had vanished from the face of the earth. I never heard from her again. "
Gu Xiaobai slowly recounted what had happened in the past. As he spoke, he looked at Tang Tang's expression. He watched as the girl's expression became more and more relaxed. In the end, it turned into pity, but he did not see any other emotions other than that.
He could not help but look down in disappointment.
Tang Tang looked at him and sniffed. She did not understand why he did not continue speaking. "And then?"
Gu Xiaobai raised his eyebrows and looked at her. He sighed silently.
Forget it. He did not know what she had experienced over the years, but it was a good thing that he could see her again. He should not be too greedy. The most important thing right now was to let her leave with him.
After a short period of interaction, Gu Xiaobai had long noticed that although Tang Tang appeared to be very tough and thorny on the surface, her heart was actually very soft. From the fact that her eyes had turned red because of her own memories, one could tell that.
Since that was the case, Gu Xiaobai silently apologized to her in his heart. Then, the corner of his mouth curled up, and his eyes turned red just like that.
"Later on, I always missed her, but I never saw her again." He appeared very sad, and even his voice was hoarse.
Tang Tang said softly, a little sad. She wanted to comfort the lost big boy in front of her, but she didn't know what to say. She just felt even more uncomfortable.
"But it doesn't matter." Gu Xiaobai pretended to wipe his eyes and looked at Tang Tang in delight. "The first time I saw you, I felt that you looked very similar to her, and your personality was also very similar, so..."
He seemed to be a little embarrassed. He rubbed his hands together and whispered, "That's why I stood up for you."
"Actually, I don't really want you to return the bread money!" Gu Xiaobai said, "I just want to talk to you more. This way, it's like she's back."
"It's true that I want you to leave with me. I keep thinking that if she wanders outside and suffers, having someone like me to help her, she should also be much better."
Gu Xiaobai's eyes sparkled as he looked at Tang Tang. "So, I can't help but want to help you as well."
"Are you willing?" He asked carefully.
Tang Tang fell silent.
She could feel that what the person in front of her said was true. The impulse made her want to agree immediately and follow him, but reason held her back.
She could not accept other people's kindness without any psychological burden, nor could she abandon her old grandfather to lead a good life herself.
So she hesitated.
Gu Xiaobai seemed to know that there was a battle in her heart and did not urge her. He just stood quietly by the side and waited for her decision. His eyes were as gentle as the moonlight tonight.
After a long time, Tang Tang finally raised her head.
Knowing that she had finally made her decision, Gu Xiaobai also became nervous.
He heard her say, "I can go with you, but I want to bring Grandfather with me. Furthermore, I need your help to draft an agreement."2
