Chapter 79: Chapter 79: Liking and Loving are Not the Same

Liking someone is beyond one’s control, even when you know it’s not possible, you can only hide it in your heart, unable to speak it out.

The tent was so quiet, although the other tent was quiet too, it was never really at peace.

The distance between them was considerable, neither could hear any noise from the other’s tent.

Gu Lili lay there.

Her face was buried in the pillow, her eyes so heavy she could hardly keep them open, yet he was tirelessly amused.

Neither of them spoke, just went about their business.

It wasn’t until near the end that Gu Lili couldn’t help but moan, a sound spilling from her throat.

After it was over, when she came out, Gu Lili lay there comfortably and asked, "Have you noticed that Shi Xiaotian’s gaze towards Liang He is kind of off?"

"Who can’t see through the little schemes of you women?" He wiped himself off, then lay beside her and gave her a kiss on the face, "She likes Liang He."

"I don’t think Liang He has noticed at all."

Long Yubei said, "Love blinds, whether he notices or not is not important. It’s unlikely for Liang He to be with her. He doesn’t have the habit of picking ’the grass next to his nest’, and besides, his family is strict. We are from a business background which is somewhat more lenient, but his family has both business and political ties. As far as marriages within his family go, whether it’s his parents or his cousins, they all marry their equals. There hasn’t been anyone who’s deviated from this, so if the girl is wise, she’d better keep her feelings to herself and she can stay by his side. If she’s clueless and speaks out, chances are Liang He won’t allow her to stay by his side anymore."

"You do have a point," said Gu Lili, "I think she won’t tell."

He propped his head up with his elbow, lying sideways looking at her, "From what I know of Liang He, his type is definitely not the plain Jane. He likes sophisticated women, those who are attractive, wealthy, and have their own charm. It’s like eating; someone who’s accustomed to delicacies might occasionally switch to plain congee for a change, but in the end, they will return to the delicacies."

"What about you?" she asked, "Which type do you like?"

"Your type."

"Then that means you’ll fall in love with me sooner or later."

He glanced at her sidelong, "Don’t be so confident. Liking is liking, love is love, they’re not the same."

"Hahahaha."

***

When Liang He woke up, the sky outside was already much brighter.

The sound of rain was trickling into his ears.

The scent of a woman filled his nostrils, as he looked at Shi Xiaotian sleeping facing him with some unease.

Only now did he realize he had fallen asleep in her tent.

He didn’t move.

Just quietly watched her sleep.

Peaceful and obedient.

After staring at her for quite a while, he finally got up.

When Shi Xiaotian woke up, she found him sitting at the entrance of the tent playing with his phone, "Brother Liang, good morning."

"Not good."

"Why?"

"Why didn’t you wake me up last night? Or why didn’t you go sleep in my tent?"

Shi Xiaotian was taken aback, combing her hair she said, "You were the one sleeping in my tent, Brother Liang. I didn’t wake you because you were sleeping soundly. I slept in my tent, why should I go to yours just because you lay down here?"

Liang He was speechless, his question had just slipped out without thinking.

When the rain let up a bit, the staff brought umbrellas, and the four left the tents, leaving them for the staff to clean up and bring back to the villa.

They had breakfast together.

The four went to play pool.

Gu Lili didn’t know how to play, so Long Yubei taught her, and used it as an excuse to freely flirt with her.
