"You want me to go?"

Jiang Jiayi's voice resounded in Gu Linxi's ears as she nodded her head. If she didn't want Jiang Jiayi to leave, why would she ask? If Jiang Jiayi were to ask her this, there would be no meaning at all. Thinking back to the last time when he'd been unable to fall asleep due to a short message from Jiang Jiayi, his heartstrings couldn't help but twitch as if someone had strummed them.

She could not recall which feeling it was. She was able to recall it slightly, but it was also as if she could feel that feeling.

At some point, Jiang Jiayi's right hand had grasped Gu Lingxi's right hand. The warmth that came from Jiang Jiayi's hand once again reminded Gu Lingxi that Jiang Jiayi had a secret on his body. With all his heart, Gu Linxi wanted to take her hand out from this man's hand. However, the moment she was about to do so, when she saw that pair of deep eyes, she actually had a feeling that she didn't dare to act rashly.

Slightly at a loss as to what to do, Gu Linxi stiffened her body, a trace of fear flashing through her eyes. Although it wasn't very obvious, Jiang Jiayi still saw through it. Jiang Jiayi looked at his hand and suddenly understood. Gu Linxi's hand was simply too warm. It formed a stark contrast with her own.

Thinking back to the moment when his hand had come into contact with Gu Linxi, Gu Linxi felt rather unnatural. From the looks of it, Gu Linxi wasn't afraid of him for no reason. However, this matter wasn't what he wanted. Even if Gu Linxi couldn't feel her heart beating or her body warming up, Jiang Jiayi wouldn't let him go free just because of this.

"You found out?"

To Gu Linxi, Jiang Jiayi's voice sounded somewhat ethereal. Gu Lin Xi didn't know, or perhaps he didn't remember, what it felt like to speak a ghost, but she believed that if he spoke, he would definitely be like Jiang Jiayi was now. It would make one's hair stand on end. Even though his face didn't seem scary at all, just thinking about how he was wearing human skin, it was hard to tell what kind of creature it was.

Gu Linxi thought back to the true appearances of those devils in the horror movies, and when she looked at Jiang Jiayi's face, she automatically thought of a face with hundreds and thousands of holes in it. Perhaps they were lacking something, or they were bleeding, or they were riddled with wounds. If one merely relied on their imagination, they could be extremely terrifying. People with a lot of imagination would easily scare themselves when they thought of such things, which was the legendary way of scaring themselves.

It was obvious that Gu Linxi was in this kind of situation. Actually, she wasn't exactly frightened by Jiang Jiayi, but was instead shocked by his association with, or perhaps, his own brain. After all, this sort of thing was far more frightening than what he had seen.

"What did I find?" Gu Linxi pretended that she didn't understand what Jiang Jiayi was saying. Of course, if she really didn't understand, then that would be even better. However, this was an extremely strong temperature difference, so she could only pretend that she didn't understand Jiang Jiayi's words.

The corners of Jiang Jiayi's mouth curled up slightly. His smile had clearly been a normal smile due to psychological factors, but in Gu Linxi's eyes, it had turned into the satisfied smile of a big bad wolf finally being able to eat a hearty meal. Gu Linxi felt that she was the dinner of the big bad wolf. She swallowed her saliva, feeling a little nervous. However, if she was really going to treat herself as a dinner, he wouldn't need to go through so much trouble.

Furthermore, Xie Sisi was about to arrive, and Gu Linxi's heart slightly calmed down.

Jiang Jiayi looked meaningfully at Gu Linxi. He felt that Gu Linxi's appearance, akin to a frightened bird, was especially adorable. Actually, he could also cooperate with Gu Linxi if he wanted to pretend to be stupid. After all, he didn't want Gu Linxi to be afraid of him. However, since Gu Linxi had calmed down so quickly, Jiang Jiayi was extremely surprised. He only thought back to the time when Gu Linxi wasn't even afraid of real ghosts. Her current composure wasn't too unexpected.

However, Jiang Jiayi hadn't thought of this at all. Back then, Gu Linxi hadn't been afraid of ghosts because she knew that they were her most beloved Jiang Jiayi. Even if the person she loved had turned into a malicious spirit to take her life, Gu Linxi wouldn't have the slightest bit of fear, because she was willing. Those ghosts on the screen, on the other hand, were things that Gu Linxi knew very well in her heart. Those ghosts were all fake, so she naturally wouldn't be afraid of them.

But now, in her limited memories, Jiang Jiayi wasn't her lover. Therefore, if Jiang Jiayi was a ghost, it was impossible for Gu Xiangxi to not be afraid at all. Plus, she had seen too many horror movies, so her ability to associate with other movies was more plentiful. Naturally, this fear was increased by a few points. For example, when that ghost wanted to kill her that day, her heart was filled with fear. Although that fear had left as quickly as it had appeared, it also proved that Gu Linxi wasn't completely without fear.

"If, Xie Si came and saw the two of us …" There was no need to finish speaking. Action represented everything. Jiang Jiayi pressed the pressure on Gu Linxi's body, and the aura he exhaled was also in Gu Linxi's ears.

She understood what Jiang Jiayi meant. If Xie Sisi saw that he and Jiang Jiayi were together, and that they were so close to each other, it would be absolutely impossible for her to forgive him. She didn't want to act like this. Thinking up to this point, Gu Linxi was so anxious that she wanted to push Jiang Jiayi away. She had a nagging feeling that Xie Siqiang would arrive at his residence in the next second. When that happened, he would truly be in a difficult position.

Jiang Jiayi suppressed Gu Linxi's restless hands and controlled her wrists. Then, he pressed them against the sofa. Without her hands to struggle free, as well as her legs, Gu Linxi's feet began to unsteadily swing in the air. At this moment, Jiang Jiayi was truly a bit angry. He had been kicked to an unspeakable place by Gu Linxi. Although the position he was in wasn't too hard to describe, it wasn't all that bad.

It was fortunate that Gu Linxi's strength wasn't enough. Otherwise, he would have truly become a eunuch. How would she be able to be together with Gu Linxi then? With a hint of anger, Jiang Jiayi's gaze and actions were all saying the same line: Woman, you've successfully angered me. Although this line was a little inappropriate, it was true that such a line had popped out from Gu Linxi's brain at this moment. She too felt that she was very helpless and innocent.

"Gu Linxi, listen up. Don't believe Xie Siqiang." Jiang Jiayi held back his anger, and didn't say that particular line along the lines in Gu Linxi's mind. He had only controlled Gu Lin Xi, not allowing him to move recklessly. Moreover, he hadn't made any unnecessary movements.

"If you don't believe him, don't tell me you have to believe you?" Although Gu Linxi also didn't want to anger Jiang Jiayi in this situation, she wasn't able to control her mouth. She had said what she wanted to say, so it was too late for him to regret it now. It was just like this in the first place. If she didn't believe Xie Siqian, could it be that she would trust this man of unknown origins?

Don't make such an international joke, she wasn't a fool, how could she believe in someone of such unknown origins? Moreover, this might even be a person.
