C13 Selfishness Is Instinct

Finally, the car slowly arrived at the school.

When Lin Ruo opened the door and was about to get out of the car, Gu Shen spoke up.

"If you have any news about Hou Xiao, let me know immediately."

"I won't."

Lin Ruo turned around and said honestly.

Gu Shen's expression didn't look too good. He didn't understand why this girl would do something he did not expect.

Seeing the trace of doubt in his eyes, Lin Ruo knew that she had made the right move.

Humans liked to be curious about unexpected things, and the moment they were curious, they would want to investigate it to the end. At a time like this, it was also the easiest time for them to fall into a trap.

"Director Gu, you've never been in a relationship, right?" She smiled, and her eyes seemed to glow again.

She looked at him as if she were looking far away.

"Then you won't understand."

She got out of the car.

Gu Shen sat in the car alone for a long time, going back and forth between what Hou Xiao and Lin Ruo had told him.

However, this did not change his mind. After a long time, he started the car. His lips curled up and ridicule could be seen in his eyes.

"Stupid."

Yes, Lin Ruo was stupid, and Hou Xiao was even more stupid.

He had never seen true love before.

Selfishness was human nature, and more so, instinct.

Hou Xiao was selfish, but Lin Ruo was selfish.

However, Lin Ruo was smart enough to understand Hou Xiao's selfishness.

Lin Ruo dashed back to the tournament almost as fast as she could.

Fortunately, Fu Qing had already taken a seat for her, and the exchange had only started about ten minutes ago.

This was a seminar on thesis writing organized by Prof. Lin. One of the invited students was a senior graduate student.

When she left in his previous life, he was already considered as an idol in the Acacia Faction. Of course, the main reason was because he had been invited to a variety show and had then used his personal charm to get into a circle of fans.

Lin Ruo also came into contact with her before. At that time, she was just doing odd jobs on that variety show, just getting to know her by nodding.

When she came back to her senses, she hurriedly cast away her messy memories and began to listen carefully.

Another two days passed, but there was still no news from the Hou Family side at all.

However, Lin Ruo met Hou Xiao after the seminar.

It was when she was eating at the West Street school that she saw Hou Xiao, who only revealed a pair of eyes.

The bloodshot eyes stared at her across the street.

Lin Ruo threw down her bowl of rice and ran over. She threw herself into his arms, tears flowing out of her eyes.

It streaked across her cheek and was left behind.

Lin Ruo could not help but admire her better and better acting. Right now, crying in three seconds was not a problem at all.

"Where did you go?" Lin Ruo's tone was full of worry. "You scared me to death!"

"Ruo Ruo, like I said, I will give you an explanation." Hou Xiao said.

"What did you say?" Lin Ruo raised her head with a puzzled expression.

"From now on, I have nothing to do with Hou Family anymore." Hou Xiao smiled and looked around, "It's not suitable to talk here, I'll take you to where I live."

"Yes." Lin Ruo obeyed Hou Xiao and went to a rented room.

In a neighborhood near her school.

Although the house was old, it was well-equipped and relatively clean and bright.

"Are you here these days?" Lin Ruo looked at Hou Xiao with a pained expression.

"This place is the closest to you." Hou Xiao embraced the girl that he had been yearning for day and night, "Ruo Ruo, for you, I'm willing to pay anything."

"So, don't break up, okay?" When he spoke, even his voice was trembling. These words were like terrifying symbols.

He was so afraid the girl would push him away again.

"But what about your family? Your mother will worry about you. " Lin Ruo found it hard to believe.

"If she accepts you, she's our mother. If she doesn't accept you," Hou Xiao paused before adding, "I'll stay with you for the rest of my life."

Lin Ruo knew that at least for this moment, he was sincere and firm.

But time … In the end, everything would be taken away.

She no longer had any illusions, but the play had to go on.

"Hou Xiao …" Lin Ruo called out softly, her tone full of love.

She once loved this man miserably, so she naturally knew how she looked like when she loved him.

She had no love now, only revenge.

"Ruo Ruo …" Hou Xiao lightly hugged the girl's waist and brought her closer to his embrace. He turned his face to the side and slowly moved closer, then placed a gentle kiss on the girl's neck.

Lin Ruo stiffened.

She understood Hou Xiao's intentions too well, so she pushed him a little with some resistance.

In the end, Hou Xiao hugged her even more tightly: "Ruo Ruo, I don't want to lose you again."

So he planned to use this method to keep him.

"I want it." Hou Xiao said, his tone full of lust.

Their words were transmitted into Gu Shen's ears word by word through a small machine in Lin Ruo's schoolbag.

Hearing this, he could no longer hold it in and said to the assistant beside him, "Go and capture him!"

Lin Ruo was stunned. She couldn't possibly give it to him, but how could she refuse it without Hou Xiao's suspicion?

"Hou Xiao... I'm afraid. " Lin Ruo said, "I, I'm hungry."

Hou Xiao heard Lin Ruo's resistance and noticed that her body was stiff.

She was rejecting him. She still didn't trust him.

His heart felt as if it had been stabbed by a knife. He knew that he shouldn't panic. He would slowly prove this to her.

For her sake, he could give up everything.

Time will prove everything.

Hou Xiao slowly let go of Lin Ruo. He knew that he was in too much of a hurry and might have scared her. He said apologetically, "Sorry."

The atmosphere was a little awkward, so he took the initiative to say, "Let's go buy some food."

"No need, wait for me at home, I'll go buy it." Lin Ruo said.

He still couldn't go out right now, so she didn't plan on exposing Hou Xiao's whereabouts to the Hou Family so early.

When Hou Xiao heard the word "home", he was in a great mood.

On the other side, Gu Shen did not rush over to capture Hou Xiao again.

If they forcefully separated the two, they would only cherish each other even more.

However, if there was no interference, the trivial matters of life would quickly wear down their relationship.

What's more, Hou Xiao could only hide behind Lin Ruo, like a rat that couldn't stand to see the light of day. He couldn't even look after his own sources of income.

As a man, who could endure such humiliation? Once the two lost their balance on both sides of the scale, their relationship would collapse.

When that happened, he wouldn't mind adding fuel to the fire.

"Send someone to follow him secretly and report back regularly, but do not disturb him." Gu Shen instructed.

"There's more."

The man placed his hand on the armrest of his chair and beat on it rhythmically. "Help them avoid the Gu family's people."

Although the special assistant didn't understand Gu Shen's intentions, but he didn't dare to guess the boss's thoughts, so he could only obey.

"Yes."

Gu Shen raised the corner of his mouth as he continued listening to the sound coming from the bug.
