Lord Xiao, your wife is super sweet!

Chapter 14 Cutting off toxicity from the root

Yun Zhen turned her head, looked calmly at Gong Xiao's exquisite and beautiful side face, took a light breath, and said softly:

"I haven't thought about it yet, but I have to live well."

At least she has to live well before those villains go to hell.

Hearing her answer, Gong Xiao raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure?"

"Don't be pushed from behind again."

He seemed to be kindly reminding her.

Yun Zhen took another breath, turned her eyes to look at the bonfire, her face was peaceful, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised:
"Before, the enemy was in the dark, and I was unprepared. Now I know who is trying to harm me, and I will definitely not let this happen again."

The eyes of the person illuminated by the fire were hot, she half-closed her eyes, and the expression in her eyes was very different from before.

Shining brightly, like the bright moon and stars in the night sky.

Although he didn't really want to admit it, Gong Xiao understood that she wasn't that stupid. To use a well-known word to describe her, it would probably be - pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

This woman is interesting.

"Remember that snake?"

After a moment of silence, Gong Xiao suddenly asked.

Successfully attracted his attention, Yun Zhen looked sideways at him again, and nodded with disgust: "How could you forget?"

It is impossible to forget in this life.

That snake, that stick insect, and that earthworm, their appearance, their smell, left a deep impression on Yun Zhen.

Including Gong Xiao.

"Do you know why I cut off the snake's head?" Gong Xiao ignored the girl's disgusted expression and continued to ask.

Yun Zhen: "Because the snake head is poisonous."

It's easy to understand, she's not that stupid.

Yun Zhen thought that her answer could successfully avoid the man's contempt, but she didn't want Gong Xiao to still glance at her after hearing her answer.

Those cold eyes revealed naked contempt.

Yun Zhen pretended not to see it, and secretly looked at Gong Xiao from the corner of her eye.

Even under the background of the fire, the man's ice-cold face still showed no expression, and the words he said didn't have any warmth at all.

"If you want to avoid being bitten by a snake, you'd better pull out the snake's teeth."

Gong Xiao spoke lazily, his eyes fixed on the burning bonfire for a moment, the flames were churning and the smoke filled the air.

He half-closed his eyes, parted his thin lips slightly, his voice was still extremely lazy, but extremely cold.

"However... I prefer to cut off the snake's head directly and cut off from the root, so as to achieve absolute safety."

He seemed to be saying something that had nothing to do with the main topic.

Yun Zhen, who didn't react at first, frowned somewhat bewilderedly.

After a while, she understood what Gong Xiao meant.

Master Xiao is indeed a man standing at the top of the food chain!
Yun Zhen knows that without a certain amount of courage and ruthlessness, it is impossible to stand at the top of the food chain.

This world has always been prey to the weak and the strong. If you don't want to be swallowed by the species on the upper food chain, you can only climb to a higher position.

If you don't want to be bitten by a snake, you can only kill the snake and cut off its poison from the root.

The same reasoning applies to Yun Zhen, if she doesn't want to be bullied and murdered by others, she can't forgive those who want to harm her like a white lotus in a prosperous age with the kindness of a woman.

What she wants to do is not to release the life, but to kill the snake!
Gong Xiao seemed to be a mentor pointing out the maze, which strengthened Yun Zhen's determination.

"Thanks"

"Your big meal should be ready."

Before the girl could finish her "thank you", Gong Xiao directly interrupted her, his attention seemed to be completely attracted by Yun Zhen's "big meal".

Yun Zhen pursed her lips, stared at him, and didn't say anything more, just picked up a long wooden stick and pushed the "big meal" out of the fire.
　Mr. Matchstick: Xiaoye’s small class is starting!
