Baili Xia looked at Guisu, her expression serious.
"I am not Lu Xuening, I wouldn't treat my friends that way."
Guisu's gaze was fixed on Baili Xia's eyes, not moving for a second.
Her words completely unsettled him inside.
For so many years, he had been following the wrong person, doing the wrong things.
But now he had met the person he truly wanted to follow, yet she would not let him follow her.
If he didn't follow her, how would he repay her kindness?
After a while, Guisu cleared his thoughts and spoke up.
"Okay, thank you for considering me a friend, but even friends can go back with you."
Whether she considered him a friend was her choice, but protecting her for life was his.
He didn't think these two things conflicted.
Baili Xia still couldn't understand why he was so set on the idea of staying by her side.
If he had a liking for her, she could reject him the way a woman would reject a man.
But he didn't.
