The melancholy mood of the autumn wind and moon will never linger here for too long. After noon, I got out of bed and started packing my luggage. They all wore short skirts, and Wu Yu's gaze was always fixed on the full-color short skirt.

  I estimated in my heart that Wu Yu would say it's afternoon. Then I drove over, and I'm sure I'll be faster than him. Yesterday, Wu Yu asked the professor for his ancestral home address on the phone, and I also remembered it.

  I searched around and found that it was a village with almost no tourist development. However, I still managed to find the only inn there and booked a room. Since I was already there, I went all out and booked a countryside luxury suite with an independent balcony and a game room.

  When I arrived in Lixian County, the sky had just darkened. By the time I found a hotel, I was already very tired. Since I had never driven on the highway for such a long time before, I was extremely tense and focused throughout the journey, so I only took a distant glance at Professor Chen's home and then went to rest in my room.

  Professor Chen's ancestral home is located in a relatively secluded and quiet location, halfway up the mountain, still some distance from the village and the inn. From afar, the green trees shade the wooden house with stone walls. Yesterday, Wu Yu mentioned that the devastating fire that almost destroyed the family six months ago occurred here. But now the house has been renovated. It's too far away, I couldn't see any traces of the fire.

  But I think it's quite something that Chen and her daughter can still come back to live here after what happened, their mental quality is also quite weird.

  The village was originally not big, and many houses were empty. The inn I booked was also in a semi-closed state, with few guests. In fact, chasing to an unfamiliar place so impulsively, it's still a remote countryside, my heart is also a bit tense. However, as long as I'm not found out, that's all that matters.

  It turned out I was too naive.

  Driving on the highway is really tiring for me, so after returning to my room, I quickly fell asleep. When I woke up, it was pitch black outside, with only the lights in the courtyard on, and there were faint sounds. This yard has more than one room, I reckon it's other guests or the landlady, but I didn't pay much attention, yawning, opening the door.

  The only lamp in the courtyard was just above my head on the porch. The man happened to close the door of the next room and walked towards the entrance of the inn. My hand, which was about to cover a yawn, stopped in mid-air and slammed against the door with lightning speed, taking two steps back, my heart racing wildly.

  After a few seconds, my face was still hot, and I slowly approached the door again, listening carefully, it seemed like there was no movement. Maybe he didn't see me.

  What's going on? Wu Yu came, shouldn't he be staying at his professor's and Ruyin's home? How did he end up living in the guest house? And even next door to me?

  I was lying on my stomach when I heard two "thuds", crisp and clear right next to my ear. I was as if facing a great enemy, then retreated back to the edge of the bed.

  Someone is knocking at the door, is it him who is knocking?

  "Tan Jiao?" A familiar yet low voice. I pursed my lips tightly and didn't respond.

  "Tan Jiao." This time he changed to a definite tone, "I saw you, open the door for me."

  I've known him for so long, but my face has never burned like it does at this moment. I stood by the bed, burning in place for a few seconds, then calmly climbed onto the bed, turned on the TV and blasted the volume, ignoring him.

  It seems quiet outside now.

  I hugged my legs and buried my face in them.

  I'm so fed up lately, the weather is still scorching hot, and my boyfriend is busy like it's exam season again, no time to spend with me. My car wash card is also lost, not only does he ignore me, even his younger brother pretends not to know me. Everything seems off, yet somehow life is supposed to be this way. And then I got caught red-handed while chasing a man for the first time...

  "Ah——" I let out a low growl, messing up my hair. Just then, I heard a noise coming from the other side of the room, outside on the balcony. I lifted my head and stared blankly as Wu Yu's hand pushed against something and he flipped inside from outside, his dark eyes fixed intently on me. As I looked at him like that, my mind suddenly went completely blank. Watching him walk into the room, watching him push open the balcony door, then standing there staring at me.
