CHAPTER 287: 287: DON’T BE SO FOOLISH IN THE FUTURE.

Gu Tong sobbed, the shoe polish on her face had smudged all over. She said aggrievedly, "You are a trainee, you are the Devil King, you are a hero defending the country... so why can’t I become your comrade, your weapon, your trainee..."

She wanted to be with him, to fight alongside him, to grow old together.

Gu Tong’s accusations thoroughly destroyed all of Li Yan’s temper. He finally stood up, released his clenched fists, and walked toward Gu Tong, standing in front of her.

Gu Tong knew Li Yan was coming, but she was crying so hard that she couldn’t care about anything else. She thought of things from her past life and was only concerned about her own grievances, completely ignoring whether Li Yan was angry or not.

Indeed, putting out a fire still requires water, and tears are the best extinguisher.

Li Yan sighed, yet he was completely at a loss. He reached out to pull Gu Tong into his arms, stroking her back to soothe her, saying, "Stop crying!"

Upon hearing Li Yan’s words, she couldn’t control herself any longer and cried even harder with a wail.

When a woman cries, the last thing she wants is consolation. Gu Tong was a clear example of this.

Li Yan rolled his eyes but was somewhat helpless. The little woman lay on his chest, crying her heart out with disregard, even smudging shoe polish all over him in a slightly retaliatory manner.

"I never meant to blame you. I just worry about your safety." The Devil King, like an iceberg for a thousand years, actually had a day to comfort someone, truly the wheel of fortune turns.

"You’re lying, you do blame me, you’re angry..." Gu Tong hiccupped through her sobs, accusing Li Yan of his wrongdoings, saying, "You even slammed the table, kicked people out, glared so fiercely you scared me to death..."

"..." Li Yan’s mouth twitched; he did not deny it.

"Seeing you on the battlefield, perhaps you didn’t know my feelings."

Li Yan felt helpless again, but this time his temper had completely calmed. Surprisingly, he explained, "So many bandits surrounded you; something could have happened at any moment. My heart was like having a rabbit inside, restless and uneasy. Just as you are afraid, I am also afraid of losing you, fearing I’ll never see you again."

"Not considering your feelings and not taking your heart into account is my fault, but you shouldn’t have scared me like this. If you have any thoughts, you can tell me. We are husband and wife, we can discuss and solve it together. Don’t make decisions on your own without giving me a chance to react."

"I’m a trainee. The Academy is full of men. I don’t understand women, don’t understand emotions! Ever since I met you, I’ve tried my best to control myself, to accompany you in doing what you want, but I’ve failed to care about your feelings. My mind is coarse, this is my fault, I apologize to you!"

The iron-blooded Devil King, the god of war on the battlefield, actually had a day to apologize.

Gu Tong stopped crying, stunned on the spot.

This was Li Yan’s genuine confession, baring his heart and expressing his true feelings!

Although the timing wasn’t right, it was very sincere.

How could she not love such a man?

Gu Tong completely stopped crying, instead greedily lying in Li Yan’s embrace, enjoying this wonderful moment, something she couldn’t even dream of getting in her past life.

Li Yan responded by gently stroking the little woman’s lustrous black hair, saying evenly, "In the future, don’t be so foolish."

Though he spoke these words, deep in his heart, he continued to tremble.

He had never thought this woman would risk her life because of him...

Where could he find such a woman, how could he not cherish her?
