568 Gold Would Always Shimmer 2 (1/2)

Qian Lingyu’s face brightened up! It had been a long while since he last received any compliments.

Gu Xijiu then altered her words, ”Honestly, I had looked down on you, slightly…” Seeing the change in his expression, she continued calmly, ”But it is not because you’re useless or stupid. It is because of your cowardice! Qian Lingyu, you’re running away from your problems!”

Qian Lingyu trembled. Gu Xijiu did not bother to entertain him with all kinds of motivational stories. All she wanted to tell him was that he had to be responsible for his own life. No matter what kind of difficulties he had encountered, he should face it directly and make the best out of whatever that he had left. Lastly, she asked, ”Now that you've completely given up, do you still expect others to look up at you?”

Gu Xijiu’s words were powerful enough to make Qian Lingyu’s face turn all red. Although her words were very harsh, she was only telling him the truth. Regardless of the situation, if he had given up, who else would fight for him?

Qian Lingyu was not convinced, ”You did not put yourself in my shoes…”

Gu Xijiu interrupted him immediately, ”I was once completely useless. To date, my spiritual power is still not as competent as yours, but I know I am never going to give up.” Her words had completely shut him down. He could somehow feel something in his heart.

Without a doubt, the lady in front of him had dealt with situations that were far worse than his, but she had lived her life to the fullest. The experiences that a boy like him would have encountered was not even comparable to a lady like her.

Seeing him being moved by her words, she stopped saying anything further.

”Give me your hand.” Gu Xijiu offered him her hand.

”What are you doing?” Qian Lingyu raised his brows. His heart skipped a beat the moment he saw her little, tender hand. His face reddened, and he said immediately, ”It is improper for men and women to touch each other's hands…”

Gu Xijiu wanted to knock his head. This little boy not only had a lot of problems, but he was also very old-fashioned.
