Chapter 210 - She’s Gone (2) (1/2)

Gu Yu’s tightly-closed eyes suddenly sprang open. Without even looking at her, he reached out and grabbed her by her shoulders, shoving her away from himself. In a low and grave tone, he said, “Don’t touch me!”

Xu Weilai was speechless.

She fell onto the soft carpet, landing on her bottom. It didn’t hurt, but&h.e.l.lip; clearly, no good deed went unpunished!

Who the h.e.l.l wanted to touch him? Seriously!

However, she knew well that Gu Yu had a peculiar habit of disliking physical contact from other people. Because his parents had pa.s.sed away early, he became insecure and would only allow the people closest to him to come near. Towards everyone else, he would maintain an aura of aloofness and detachment.

Xu Weilai didn’t want to cause any more trouble, but Mrs. Lin was still spying on her out through the crack of the door. Her eyes were wide and round, inexplicably reminding Xu Weilai of the lyrics of the theme song for The Black Cat Detective: “With eyes like bra.s.s bells&h.e.l.lip;”

Xu Weilai had no choice but to get up from the carpet. This time around, she didn’t go as close to Gu Yu as before. Roughly patting his cheek, she called out, “Gu Yu, are you still alive? Hey, wake up! Go back into the room to sleep!”

As long as he returned to the room, Mrs. Lin wouldn’t be able to observe them any longer. Thus, she’d be free to leave him on the floor for the night!

Gu Yu’s eyes s.h.i.+fted around stiffly as confusion pooled within them. He seemed to see her, but his eyes couldn’t focus on her figure. He reached out, but it wasn’t to push her away again. Instead, he clasped her hand on his cheek.

His thin lips moved slightly as he mumbled to himself. His words were so soft that Xu Weilai couldn’t resist leaning forward to hear him better. All she could make out were a few words spoken in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “You seem like someone&h.e.l.lip;”

Who did she seem like to him?

Xu Weilai unwittingly voiced her thoughts aloud.

Gu Yu gave a completely irrelevant answer: “My Little Fox&h.e.l.lip;”
