Was that so?

As Xing Beiyan stared at Gu Xi, who was anxiously explaining, his expression softened.

“Hmm.” In the end, he said nothing more and merely nodded his head. He did not look too good as he entered his study right after he was done with his meal.

Gu Xi watched him walk away, his figure slightly depressed. For reasons unknown to her, she felt her heart pang with pain.

Xing Beiyan was still worried and scared.

After all, she had hurt him deeply before this, which gave him plenty of reasons to not trust her anymore.

Even the thought of this made Gu Xi lose her appetite. Out of guilt, she made a cup of warm tea and had a maid send it to him before she went back to the room to continue studying.

“Come in,” a cold voice answered from inside the study.

The scared maid entered the study and stuttered, “Young, Young Master, Young Madam made some tea for you.”

“Hmm?” Xing Beiyan was stunned. “She made it herself?”

“Yes.” The pressure the maid felt from Xing Beiyan made her legs go weak and all she wanted to do was run out of the room.

After all, the Young Master usually drank coffee and never even took a sip of tea.

The maid did not know if Xing Beiyan would like it or not; what if he threw a tantrum because he hated it?

Fear filled the maid’s thoughts.

“Set it down there.” Xing Beiyan finally spoke again and the maid visibly relaxed as she set the tea down before leaving the room.

An unsettling silence settled in the study once more. Xing Beiyan put his work down and after a brief moment of hesitation, took a sip of the tea.

The slightly bitter taste of the tea made him furrow his brows but the warmth that bloomed in his chest prompted him to take another sip…

“Boom!!”

A loud explosion suddenly went off in the sky. In the huge bedroom, the girl on the bed sat up abruptly as a flash of lightning cut the sky in half. The light illuminated her face, which was as pale as paper, a truly horrifying sight!

Blood, so much blood!

She had dreamt of Xing Beiyan’s dead body.

Gu Xi’s eyes went as wide as saucers after she stared into the void before her in fear. In the end, she closed her eyes as if in pain before she covered her ears and screamed!

Bang—

Another loud noise.

Still in his nightgown, Xing Beiyan had noticed the situation happening. His expression shifted greatly and he rushed over to hug Gu Xi.

“Xixi, Xixi!” He shouted her name several times but it seemed as if Gu Xi had not heard him. As if she had lost her mind, her hands clawed around madly as she wailed “Go away! Don’t touch me…” repeatedly.

What was happening!

Xing Beiyan’s eyes were bloodshot as he cradled her tightly to his chest. He hurriedly pacified her. “Xixi, it’s me, Xing Beiyan! Don’t be afraid, I’m not a bad person, don’t be afraid!”

As he called her again and again, the person in his grasp calmed down gradually and soon, made no noise at all. He looked down at Gu Xi and saw that she had fallen asleep again; her eyes closed tightly.

“Get a doctor now!”

Once Xing Beiyan left the room, he saw the people that had awoken due to the commotion and ordered coldly.

“Young Madam’s emotions were stirred up because she’s suffered a great shock. I suggest that Young Master investigate further. Young Madam might have met with something horrible in the past or might have been kidnapped before. All those things might have caused her condition.” A doctor, who was still in his slippers, came over in the middle of the night and explained calmly.

Xing Beiyan’s expression was dark as he nodded his head before ordering everyone to leave.

He did not know when Gu Xi had grabbed hold of his nightgown so tightly, but she showed no sign of letting go.

Xing Beiyan lowered his gaze to look at her, his expression unreadable.

What more was there about Gu Xi that Xing Beiyan did not know?

    A few days flew by in the blink of an eye. Gu Xi seemed to have no recollection of what happened that night and carried on attending classes the next morning. In the following days, she applied for on-campus accommodation and moved into her dormitory. Although quite a few days had passed, Xing Beiyan never even sent her a text message throughout this period. This made Gu Xi feel somewhat restless and worried that he might still be upset about what had happened that day. The choreography for their class performance was finalized. They would be performing a jazz dance. In fact, this particular dance routine was choreographed by their previously most famous university student council president along with his dance crew.Thus, their dance coaches were members of the student council. Everyone knew that the student council president was Han Lei. Although he had gone overseas for a while, this never affected his position on the student council. The choreography he came up with was also w

    Were their eyes playing tricks on them, or were they hallucinating? Someone actually showed contempt for the great Campus Hunk? “Don’t tell me you guys believe that I would keep fussing over a guy like him for the rest of my life? The world is filled with men who are better than him. With my gorgeous looks, why would I settle for someone as awful as him?”Gu Xi brushed her bangs to the side with a proud look on her face. “My boyfriend is a hundred times more outstanding and handsome than him. I don’t care for him anymore, so whoever wants him can have him. In the future, please stop linking us together because of trivial matters from so many years ago!” she muttered disdainfully. “So, Elder Sister Xue’er, if you like him, you don’t have to hold it in from now on. I don’t need him anymore. I still recall that Han Lei likes you a lot. Whenever he was with me, he would always talk about you,” Gu Xi said with a look of resignation while staring at Gu Xue’er’s flushed face. ‘Very well,

    Once the seed of suspicion was sown in a person’s heart, it would soon fester and turn sour. Therefore, Li Limi would never fully believe Gu Xue’er again although she had tried to explain herself. The rest of the crowd noticed an odd expression on Gu Xue’er’s face too. Gu Xue’er felt wronged as she cried out, “I really don’t have any feelings for him, Little Mi. We’ve known each other for so long. Don’t you know what kind of person I am?“If there’s truly something going on between me and Han Lei, why haven’t I started dating him after so long? Don’t misunderstand me just because of a few words from someone else.” As expected, upon seeing the genuine and earnest look on her face, Li Limi’s expression softened slightly. When everyone else saw her crying so sorrowfully, they also believed that this had to be a misunderstanding, so they started to step forward and speak up for her. “Little Mi, Xue’er is right. Don’t you know what kind of person Gu Xi is? Don’t allow a few words from h

    “So it’s her!” Han Lei spoke in a disdainful tone. Back then, it was this girl with a terrible reputation who kept pestering him and caused him to become a laughing stock among so many people. Later, Gu Xi suddenly disappeared for some reason, and Han Lei had even rejoiced at her absence for quite a while. He never expected that she would return after so long! Although he had been completely stunned by her original appearance, Han Lei had not forgotten that Gu Xi used to be a shameless and disgusting girl back then!No matter how beautiful she was, Gu Xi was just a useless pretty face who was of no value to him. Han Lei soon averted his gaze from her and glanced at Gu Xue’er. He frowned when he noticed her red-rimmed eyes. Although what she had said earlier made him quite upset, she was still the girl he had admired for a long time, so Han Lei could not keep his heart from going soft a little when he saw her looking so weak and vulnerable. He then asked, “What’s the matter? Who bu

    These people had been talking about the matter for so long, but the student council member came out more confused than ever. Why were they currently discussing a bullying incident? Anyway, they were not here to mediate relationships.Had his friend, Han Lei, not agreed to come over, he could have gone back and gotten some rest already.After he said that, everyone finally snapped out of the situation. Right, they were supposed to be here for a rehearsal. Why had they suddenly started quarreling amongst themselves? “I’m sorry. It’s our fault. We’re all set for rehearsal. Let’s go to the dance studio now,” Gu Xue’er said hastily. No one said anything more. Aside from Gu Xi, none of them noticed the way Li Limi was staring at Gu Xue’er. At that moment, Gu Xue’er was too busy entertaining the two seniors, so she had also forgotten Li Limi’s presence.As Li Limi walked ahead, she suddenly felt someone walking beside her. She turned her head and found that it was Gu Xi. When Li Limi

    Gu Xi glanced at Gu Xue’er before smiling, still walking lazily.In the dance studio.“Ordinary dance cannot be compared to jazz dance because it isn’t easy to pick up. Since you don’t have much time, all of you must take this seriously.” Han Lei played their self-composed song for the dance, an extremely aggressive song titled “F*ck!”However, its choreography was more suitable for boys since girls might not be able to pull off the feeling that the song wanted to convey. Additionally, complete beginners at dance would never be able to pull off the difficult moves in the choreography.Although it was jazz, a lot of the moves in the choreography were greatly exaggerated. The choreography also included various hip-hop and popping dance moves, although they were slightly modified.Not only did the choreography have moves like the Thomas (TN: The Thomas is another name for the airflare, an acrobatic/breakdance move.

    ‘How dare she be angry at me!’“Come to the front, now!” Han Lei spat angrily.Gu Xi stared blankly at him before she walked over.“Did you see what I just taught?” Han Lei asked calmly.“Why do I need to watch you? Isn’t there an instruction video playing? Besides, you aren’t as handsome as him so, naturally, I’ll watch him instead.” Without looking at Han Lei, Gu Xi shook her head, her expression disdainful.Silence immediately fell over the room.What had Gu Xi just said!She actually said the Campus Hunk was uglier than the student instructor in the video?Han Lei probably popped a vein with how angry he felt. If it were not for the fact that he hated laying hands on a woman and that he also needed to maintain his image, Han Lei would have already taught her a lesson.A boy that was standing at the side raised an eyebrow; that student in the video was actually him.However, he was wearing a mask for effect in the video, so nobody realized he was actually standing right there.Altho

    Besides, so many years have passed since then so Gu Xi’s bones must have hardened by now. How could she compete with people who have been dancing all the time?It was no wonder she spaced out just now, she probably could not even pull off these simple moves.“Xixi, why must you talk like that?” Gu Xue’er accused before she glanced sheepishly at Han Lei. “I’m sorry, senior, my younger sister’s usually like this. I hope you don’t take offense with anything she’s said,'' Gu Xue’er said helplessly.Han Lei’s expression was dark; he had poured his blood, sweat, and tears into this choreography yet Gu Xi had dared to call it very easy?The woman was extremely arrogant.A second earlier, Han Lei had actually found her quite acceptable!Han Lei’s eyes flashed with anger for a moment before he said, “Since Young Miss Gu doesn’t like it, we won’t force you to dance.”Everyone felt their hearts drop because they knew that Han Lei was truly angry now.Gu Xi used to like him so much that she shamel

    The two of them and the fox sat down at the table. As soon as the food came up, they began to eat happily. Tongtong was thinking that he should be graceful, but when the little fox jumped onto the table and started to grab the food, he couldn't help it.Gu Xi looked at them, looked like they were fighting, and then looked up at the people staring at them in shock. She coughed awkwardly and patted the little fox who looked like a starving ghost. "Be graceful. No one will fight with you."The little fox looked up at her and then lowered its head. Although it was still fast, it didn't look as horrible as before.Sure enough, it could understand what she said.Gu Xi nodded with satisfaction. She thought that if she had time, she would teach the little fox to be more sensible in case there would be such a miserable scene when she would be watched when she went out for a meal next time.She ordered a lot but didn't overeat. Tongtong was still young anddidn't eat much either.All the food

    After getting out of the elevator, Gu Xi took Tongtong out of the building.There were not many pedestrians outside. Maybe it was too hot at this time, so no one went out. Most of them stayed indoors.With only a few people, the street was quiet. However, Gu Xi's appearance disturbed the peace.The combination of the adult and kid was too eye-catching.The little fox was very cute. Coupled with its silver hair and sky-blue eyes, it was obviously a rare species. Everyone looked at it curiously.Gu Xi was also a top beauty. No matter where she went, she had a 100% attention.Although tTongtong was a little thin, his facial features were very prominent. Due to malnutrition, his yellow and slightly curly hair did not have any effect on him. He was more like a foreign noble. His skin was very white and tender, and under the sunlight, it was almost transparent. Besides, his slightly narrowed big eyes with thick brows, and the temperament which did not belong to his age, attracted peopl

    Uncle Li shook his head helplessly when he thought of Nan Sheng and Nan Kui, who had ventured into the dark forest to save their father."This must be Young Master Xing's wife. Congratulations on your reunion." He shifted his gaze to Gu Xi.Gu Xi smiled politely."This is the room prepared for you. Call me if you have any problems. You may feel wronged to live here. After all, the situation in the Nan family is not very good, so..." Uncle Li said apologetically as he took the two people to the reception room of the building."It doesn't matter. We've thought about staying here for a while. It's naturally the best place to live here." Xing Beiyan nodded.After saying a few more words, Uncle Li left.The family of four entered the room.The room was very big. According to Xing Beiyan's request, they specially prepared an extra room. Gu Xi knew what he meant and did not say anything about it.The furniture in the living room was well-arranged and very beautiful. She opened the cur

    The little fox was not interested. It lay on Gu Xi's leg and fell asleep.In fact, when Gu Xi came, she wanted to let the little fox go. After all, the forest was the best place for it to survive, but the little fox followed her resolutely.Now that it was cleaned up, it was really cute. A small ball was cuddling on her legs. If it didn't open its mouth, who could imagine that it was also a fierce beast?The helicopter stopped on the roof of a building.There were already several men in suits waiting downstairs on the roof."Second Young Master, Third Young Miss, and Young Master Xing," they greeted them respectfully."Uncle Li, how's my father?" Nan Sheng walked up to him worriedly."His condition is not very stable. We haven't found a way to relieve the toxins." Uncle Li, the leading man, frowned and shook his head."We found the herbs." Nan Sheng quickly handed him the herbs.The man looked happy. "That's good, that's good. Sir can be saved. Come with me."Everyone followed

    Mo Fan and Leng Yang stayed in the Dark Domain, saying that they wanted to join the Dark Domain. Yun Fei didn't refuse, saying that they had to wait for the master of the Dark Domain to come back and decide, so he kept them behind.This time, Yun Fei took them directly to a tunnel."This place leads directly to the periphery of the forest. After all, we are in a hurry to complete the task. We can't break through the forest every time," Yun Fei said.Hearing this, everyone heaved sighs of relief.After all, the forest was too dangerous. If they walked again, they were not sure if they could get out alive, or how many more people would be lost.After bidding farewell to Yun Fei and the others, they entered the tunnel. After walking for half a day, they saw the stairs.When they walked up, they found that it was a dry well on the periphery of the forest.When they saw the sun again, they finally left the dangerous forest.

    Gu Xi raised her head and looked at the woman who was exactly the same as her. She was looking at her man shyly. Gu Xi's mouth curled coldly.As expected, she was no different from her. No wonder Xing Beiyan didn't see through her at first.But this delicate character was not hers!She lowered her head."Let's talk about it when we get out." Xing Beiyan said then.Ruan Meng'er nodded and walked over. She wanted to hold his hand, but when she saw him walking away, her expression froze for a moment. However, when she thought that he might be angry because of what happened yesterday, she did not think much of it and followed him with a sweet smile.Gu Xi hid her gaze.When she went out, she would make trouble for this woman and see who sent her to fake her.After picking up the herb, everyone quickly walked out.Everyone was waiting for them, anxiously outside the glass door. When they saw them running over, they finally breathed a sigh of relief."How come there seems to be ano

    "Okay, okay, okay!" Hearing his consent, Nan Kui immediately cheered and quickly agreed.Everyone tied cotton at the soles of their shoes in advance, so that there would be no sound when they walked on the ground.They entered the elevator and went to the underground laboratory again.Outside the glass door, only one or two figures could be seen swaying not far away."Are you ready? You only have five minutes," said Yun Fei.Everyone nodded.Yun Fei opened the glass door.They walked in quickly.The greenhouse was not far away, right in the corner.But two monsters were swaying there.Everyone's pace was very fast.If they didn't deal with those monsters first, they wouldn't be able to make it through. The main thing was not to disturb them.The weapons were silenced, and they fired a few times. However, the two figures only shook a few times and did not die.Everyone's expressions changed.Sensing the movement, the two monsters tilted their heads and began to approach th

    Gu Xi also felt a little sleepy. Seeing the two little guys coming out, she also walked in.The next morning.Judging from the monitor, it was obvious that those monsters had completely dispersed.Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and started planning how to get in.As long as these monsters hear no sound, they would not attack people.This undoubtedly solved many problems.However, only few people could go in, so Xing Beiyan only chose four people to follow him in, and the others stayed at the exit to help them.Yang Fan, Nan Sheng, Mo Fan, and An Yi were chosen."I'll go with you." Gu Xi was worried about the wounds on Xing Beiyan's body and wanted to go in with him."Mommy, I want to go too!" Seeing that she was going in, Tongtong hurriedly stood up.Gu Xi just thought that he didn't understand the danger inside. She touched his head and refused, "No, you can't go in. It's too dangerous inside.""It's okay. I can protect myself and mommy." Tongtong clenched his fists and

    This little guy was too smart.He was so angry that he gnashed his teeth.However, Gu Xi took it. Seeing Xing Beiyan's expression, she felt even more aggrieved. It seemed that if he disagreed again, she would run away from home."Okay, okay, I agree, okay?" In the end, he compromised helplessly. Then he took the clothes and went to the bathroom angrily.Gu Xi smiled, Tongtong smiled, and the little fox also laughed.When Xing Beiyan came out again, Gu Xi was lying on the side reading a book, while Tongtong and the little fox were sleeping in the middle of bed against her. Gu Xi was reading a book, and the two were looking at her. The scene was a little warm and pleasing.However, he still walked over with a dark face. He picked them up one by one with a disgusted look on his face. "You're so dirty. Go wash up and sleep."Tongtong and the little fox stared at him with their big, bony eyes, almost grimacing. However, when they looked into the man's deep and threatening eyes, the t
