The little village girl dressed as a disaster star led the whole village astray

Chapter 138 Views on Marriage

Hu Zi was eating nearby when a big pot fell from the sky.

What do you mean by boys of their age? What’s wrong with boys of their age?

Seeing Li Xi deliberately eating asafoetida, Gu Jingzhi's mouth curled up slightly. He picked up a piece of her favorite crispy pork tenderloin and put it in her bowl.

He looked at her seriously and said, "Axi is right, so don't bother with little boys of their age. Let's eat first."

Awei and Huzi turned to look at him at the same time, with condemnation in their eyes.

Gu Jingzhi simply turned a blind eye and continued serving food to Li Xi.

Asafoetida: ...

Huzi:......

Li Xi looked at their shocked expressions and couldn't help laughing out loud: "Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter. Your expressions are just too funny."

Awei and Huzi condemned the couple in front of them with unscrupulous eyes, but unfortunately, their condemnation had no effect. In the end, they could only accept their fate and lower their heads to eat.

Forget it, don't be hard on yourself.

Awei was originally a little sad and depressed because his master left him, but at this moment, he was no longer sad at all.

He ate his meal in big mouthfuls and looked at Li Xi with angry eyes while eating. Humph, this woman is getting more and more hateful.

……

After dinner, Gu Jingzhi and Li Xi went for a walk hand in hand.

Gu Jingzhi: "You said that on purpose just now, didn't you?"

Li Xi did not deny it. "Otherwise, if I hadn't pushed him, he would probably still be sad and depressed."

Gu Jingzhi raised his eyebrows, making sure that he was just giving him a push, not provoking him.

But in the end, it was the same thing, diverting his attention with other things.

"He was still young and had been living with Uncle Wu. He was a little upset when they suddenly separated."

Li Xi nodded, "I know that."

She looked at the red sky in the distance and said quietly, "But people are like this, they always have to learn to distinguish.

This is an important life lesson that everyone needs to learn to accept.”

No matter they are relatives, lovers, or friends, one day we will be separated and never meet again. All we can do is cherish the people in front of us and cherish the time we can be together.

Gu Jingzhi tilted his head to look at Li Xi. He could feel the hint of sadness on her face when she said this. Judging from her expression, she must have thought of something.

So from whom did she learn the lesson of separation?

Although he wanted to know this question, Gu Jingzhi did not ask.

Instead, he let go of the hand that was holding hers, put his arm around her shoulders, and rested her head on his shoulder. "I will always be with you until the end of my life."

People will always die. He can't promise that he will be with her forever, but he can guarantee to be with her for the rest of her life.

Hearing this, Li Xi's eyebrows moved, and she looked up at him with a playful expression on her face, "Oh, you are good at saying love words."

Gu Jingzhi: ...

He looked into Li Xi's eyes seriously, "I meant what I just said."

Li Xi slowly put away the smile on her face and looked at him expressionlessly, "We agreed at the beginning..."

Before she finished her words, Gu Jingzhi interrupted her and said, "I know that love that is not based on marriage is not the premise.

Although I don't know what you are worried about, I respect your choice.

I will accompany you in this relationship no matter how long you want to talk about it."

Li Xi didn't expect him to say that. She did have a lot of concerns in this relationship.

In modern times when marriage is autonomous, getting married is a gamble, not to mention the ancient times when it was feudal and ignorant, men were superior to women, and men could have three wives and four concubines.

She believes in love, but is also afraid of marriage.

She doesn't think there's anything wrong with this. People say marriage is the grave of love. She believes in everlasting love, but she's not sure she can have it.

Gu Jingzhi is a good person, and she believes that his feelings for her are real, but this is not enough for her to entrust everything to him.

His identity and the ancient system were a gap between them.

She had always known about the problems between them, or rather, her own concerns, but she subconsciously forgot them and lived with him with the mentality of living happily day by day, never thinking about the future.

Li Xi looked at Gu Jingzhi with a serious expression. Perhaps he also saw his laissez-faire attitude and his uncertainty about their relationship.

Li Xi was silent for a while, then looked away and said, "In our relationship, I am indeed ready to withdraw at any time."

She thought about it and finally decided to tell the truth.

"Yeah." Gu Jingzhi hummed, "I can feel it."

Although she had had many intimate and close contacts with him before, he could feel that sometimes she always gave him a feeling of emptiness and alienation.

The feeling was brief but real.

"Since you feel it, why..."

Why continue?

Since they started dating, Gu Jingzhi has delivered three meals a day to her, rain or shine. Whenever he has time, he not only delivers meals but also eats with her and takes walks with her in the evening.

Li Xi knew that as a major general of the Zhenbei Army, he couldn't be so idle. The Zhenbei Army camp was not close to the Li family, but he still went back and forth every day. Li Xi saw it and was not without doubt in his heart.

"Because I want to." Gu Jingzhi looked down at Li Xi, and saw her confusion through her eyes. He repeated what he had just said word for word.

"Because I want to, because it's you, so I want to."

Li Xi did not respond to his question. She turned her head away from Gu Jingzhi's sight and looked at the darkening sky in the distance. "My view on marriage is different from yours."

She could not accept the ancient concepts of having three wives and four concubines, men being superior to women, women being in charge of the home and men being in charge of the outside world, and women taking care of their husbands and children.

But she knew that she could refuse to accept it and could restrain herself, but she could not force others to do the same.

Thinking of this, she was suddenly stunned at first, and then looked at Gu Jingzhi as if she finally understood something.

Yes, she couldn't accept all of these, so why did she agree to give it a try with Gu Jingzhi at that time?

Could it be that he really tricked me?

Li Xi knew that was not the case. She must have had a good impression of him at that time, otherwise she would not have said anything to him even though she had so many reasons to refuse.

Enjoy life while you can, which means you have him in your heart.

"Views on marriage? What do you mean?"

“It’s the basic understanding and attitude towards marriage issues.”

Now that things have come to this, Li Xi plans to have a frank talk with him.

Gu Jingzhi nodded to show that he understood, "So, what is your view on marriage?"

“I believe that the premise of marriage is love, and love is the foundation of marriage.

Love is exclusive, and this is the same for men and women, so I hope there is no third party between my partner and me.

I cannot accept having three wives and four concubines, men being superior to women, women not being able to show their faces in public and having to take care of their husbands and children. I cannot do all these.

I am not a good wife in the eyes of today’s people.”

People nowadays? Gu Jingzhi's eyes deepened.
