Chapter 131 - The Big Tiger and the Little Fox (1) (1/2)

Since Gu Yu was reading from a storybook, the sudden insertion of such a sentimental confession felt abrupt and shocking to her. She couldn’t help turning her head to the side and looking at the man seated behind her.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yu raised his eyes as well. When both their eyes met, it was as if there were a faint electric current in the air.

The man’s eyes were deep and dark as always, just like the night sky outside. They did not reveal what he was thinking at all. He held her gaze as he continued, “…the big tiger said to the little fox.”

Xu Weilai was unsure how to respond.

That’s right! He was reading to her the story of The Big Tiger and the Little Fox. It was about a lonely big tiger and a lively and cheerful little fox. Although the little fox had first approached the big tiger, it was the big tiger who first fell in love with the little fox. The big tiger’s world had been endlessly empty and dark, and it had been the little fox that gave him light and pulled him out of that dark abyss.

However, the big tiger had never confessed its feelings to the little fox. He was very withdrawn and kept all his feelings hidden inside his heart. That was why he had chosen such an obscure way to reveal his emotions to the little fox.

What a romantic story it was! Even so, as he truly loved a girl, a man would confess his love to her regardless of how withdrawn he was. If he kept his mouth shut, it was only because he didn’t feel anything the girl at all.

Strangely, this story reminded her of her past with Gu Yu. The only difference was that the little fox was more fortunate than her because the big tiger truly loved her. Gu Yu, on the other hand…

An expression of self-hatred flashed across Xu Weilai’s eyes as she looked away.

Her heart wasn’t hurting as much as it had used to anymore. It was just a dull ache now. But she believed that soon, this dull ache would eventually disappear without a trace too. When that happened, the sky would brighten once again.

Gu Yu’s low and deep voice slowly lulled Xu Weilai to sleep. After some time, she unconsciously heard Gu Yu’s voice stopping. Hazily, she sensed him lying down beside her before she was suddenly cocooned in warmth…
