Perhaps because of the fight, the gloom in Gu Xiu's heart had dissipated quite a bit. He didn't want to kill someone as badly as he did when he first returned.
His reason was also slowly returning.
Although he was still furious, he could at least think about the problem calmly.
Gu Xiu knew exactly what kind of person Lu Ke was; she would never take the initiative to ask to sleep with Gu Yi.
And Gu Yi was always so good at putting on a disguise in front of Lu Ke.
He was clearly a lunatic with a mind deeper than the ocean.
Yet he pretended to be an ignorant, innocent idiot.
Because of the persona he maintained, it was also unlikely that he would directly tell Lu Ke he wanted to sleep with her.
If he had said it directly, Lu Ke would have refused.
As long as she refused, Gu Yi wouldn't have forced her in order to maintain his persona.
Based on Gu Xiu's years of understanding Gu Yi, this guy definitely used some underhanded means to make Lu Ke take the initiative.
That way, he could logically and smoothly sleep with her.
He almost subconsciously thought of aphrodisiacs.
So, in order to sleep with Lu Ke, Gu Yi actually drugged her?
Gu Xiu's expression turned ugly, his eyes glaring at Gu Yi as if he wanted to kill him.
He endured it again and again before forcefully swallowing the anger in his heart and looking back at Lu Ke.
He knew Lu Ke didn't actually want to sleep with them, but she had done it with Gu Yi because she was drugged.
Who knows how terrible she must be feeling inside right now; how could he possibly blame her?
Even if someone had to be blamed, he should blame himself.
Blame himself for being careless, for not even noticing when this place was exposed, which allowed Gu Yi to exploit the loophole.
Gu Xiu revealed a pale smile, looking up at Lu Ke with a trace of broken tenderness in his eyes.
Reaching out to wipe the tears from her face, Gu Xiu coaxed her softly, "I know. I don't blame you. I just couldn't control myself a little."
"I'm sorry, Sister. I scared you."
Lu Ke shook her head. Looking at his still-bleeding wounds, her eyes grew even redder. "Does it hurt?"
Gu Xiu hummed in agreement, his own eyes turning red as he leaned against Lu Ke, acting spoiled.
Gu Yi, who was standing behind them, walked over at this moment. He squatted beside Gu Xiu and grabbed Lu Ke's other hand.
He acted as if he had finally realized his mistake, his movements somewhat cautious.
He looked at Lu Ke with pleading eyes and called out softly, "Sister... I'm sorry..."
His voice actually sounded even more aggrieved than Gu Xiu's. "I haven't seen you for so long. If Gu Xiu hadn't hidden you away, I wouldn't have..."
"Get lost." Before Gu Yi could finish speaking, Gu Xiu's eyes instantly changed.
Lu Ke was startled and turned to look at Gu Xiu.
All the gentleness and grievance were gone, replaced by ferocity.
He glared fiercely at Gu Yi, like glaring at a rival invading his territory, his aggressiveness fully exposed.
If Gu Yi didn't get lost right now, Lu Ke felt like Gu Xiu was really going to attack him.
When these two fought, the first floor had been completely wrecked.
If they fought again, this house would probably have to be completely renovated.
Two prodigals... It was bad enough that they were ruining the house, but they even dragged her into it and got her injured.
Lu Ke turned to look at Gu Yi, thinking about how to tactfully ask him to leave first so she could pacify Gu Xiu.
But Gu Yi didn't care at all whether Gu Xiu was angry. His eyes looked at Lu Ke as pitifully as a puppy.
He treated Gu Xiu completely like air.
Pretending to be so pathetic.
Lu Ke instantly felt a headache coming on. She looked at Gu Xiu, then at Gu Yi.
These two brothers were both male leads, holding significant weight in the novel, and both were ruthless, crazy psychos.
She couldn't afford to offend either of them.
If she offended them now, they might not mind, but when it came time to settle the score later, it would all turn into punishments inflicted upon her.
Lu Ke didn't even dare to imagine how miserably she would die.
She didn't want to offend anyone, nor did she dare to tell Gu Yi to leave first.
As her gaze fell on them, she hurriedly changed her expression.
With a look of heartache, she said, "You are both still bleeding. Why did you hit each other so hard? Does it hurt?"
"I'll go call a doctor right away. Wait for me a moment, I'll be right back."
She stood up to leave, but the brothers each grabbed one of her hands tightly.
The two looked at each other simultaneously, the flames of war reigniting in their eyes, as if they could start fighting again the next second.
Lu Ke felt like she was going to have a heart attack. Fortunately, they just glared at each other and didn't start fighting.
Gu Yi let go of Lu Ke and casually grabbed a towel, wrapping it carelessly around his wound.
Seeing this, Gu Xiu also wiped his bleeding spots as if nothing had happened.
Gu Yi lowered his eyes to look at Lu Ke. "We can talk about the wounds later. Sister, we should leave here first."
Lu Ke: ?
He explained, "If I could find this place, they naturally can too. They should be able to find their way here by this afternoon at the latest."
"Before they come, we have to leave."
Gu Xiu didn't refute these words, but the next second, he glared fiercely at Gu Yi again.
"What happens here has nothing to do with you. You can get lost now."
Gu Yi lifted his eyelids and glanced at him. Normally, he would definitely sneer at Gu Xiu for wishful thinking.
But since Lu Ke was still here, Gu Yi gave up on that.
He looked at Lu Ke aggrievedly and called out softly, "Sister..."
Lu Ke forced an ugly smile. Could she please have a second option?
She didn't want to go with Gu Xiu, nor did she want to go with Gu Yi, and she especially didn't want to go with the two brothers together.
One person was already torturous enough, and now there was another.
They also couldn't stand the sight of each other and could break into a fight anytime, anywhere, accidentally injuring her in the process.
Lu Ke wore a bitter expression, completely unable to smile.
"Um..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Gu Xiu suddenly picked her up in his arms and strode outside.
Lu Ke was startled, her eyes widening. "What are you doing? Put me down."
Gu Xiu lowered his eyelashes. "Sister is injured. I'll carry Sister down."
What injury?
Wasn't she just scratched by a tiny shard of a vase? It only oozed two tiny drops of blood.
And the wound was already bandaged.
If her tiny scratch was called an injury, then what were the things on Gu Xiu and Gu Yi's bodies called?
One had a bruised face and a head covered in blood, while the other had several holes all over his body. Their levels of misery were practically on par with each other.
Lu Ke was too exhausted to complain. She looked outside, a trace of sorrow in her eyes.
They were leaving just like this?
So soon?
But she didn't dare say she didn't want to go with them at all.
Even if she did say it, they wouldn't agree.
Lu Ke couldn't help but worry about the future, not knowing what it would turn into.
But just as they stepped out of the villa's front door, something suddenly exploded in her mind.
Her expression changed, and she began to struggle.
"You, you put me down, put me down quickly!"
Gu Xiu was stunned. He originally didn't want to put her down, but Lu Ke's struggles were too intense, so he had to set her down.
Lu Ke turned around and ran back into the villa, heading straight for the second floor.
Her ten-figure necklace, and so many six-figure, seven-figure, eight-figure, and nine-figure jewelry and watches...
These were all her startup funds for leaving the male leads in the future, her chips that would allow her to completely lie flat and live comfortably.
How could she just abandon them here?
Seeing Lu Ke run upstairs and guessing what she was going to do, Gu Xiu felt a sweetness in his heart, and an imperceptible arc formed at the corners of his mouth.
Those jewelry and accessories upstairs were all given by him. Sister didn't forget to bring them along when she left.
She definitely had feelings for him and couldn't bear to throw away the things he gave her.
Otherwise, why didn't she take away the things others gave her when she left before? This time, she was only taking what he gave her.
Catching a glimpse of the smile playing on Gu Xiu's lips, Gu Yi let out a sneer, mocking him without an ounce of mercy.
"Do you really think you are the one in her heart? I am the one she likes."
"Otherwise, why would she spend all these days with you and still not give herself to you?"
"But the moment I arrived, she couldn't wait to give herself to me. Do you honestly think she didn't realize that the man last night wasn't you?"
"Or maybe she actually knew, but she is just so kind-hearted and afraid of breaking your heart that she only pretended not to notice."
