Chapter 149

Gu Ren’s eyes were as black as squid ink.

In this boundless darkness, there existed a trace of inexplicable emotions. Hovering in his eyes, they were like little fireflies flickering in the night sky.

Gu Ren said nothing. Simply being watched by him in this manner made Ye Zhi feel as if she had nowhere to hide and her hidden thoughts were about to be revealed.

Gu Ren slowly clenched his hands. His slender hands seemed to be giving away some of his feelings. It was as if he was about to reveal his thoughts any second now.

However, he was desperately holding back. Who knew what kinds of stories he could be hiding within the depths of his heart?

Suddenly, with a forceful yank, he closed the distance between Ye Zhi and himself.

She looked up at Gu Ren who was looking down at her. At this moment, her heartbeat was pounding wildly.

She saw her face reflect within his black pupils, making her feel even more flustered as she was totally unsure what to do.

Gu Ren tightly pursed his lips. It seemed like he was not trying to be too forceful, but yet there was a trace of impatience in his expression.

Gu Ren tilted his head towards her, motioning her to continue speaking.

Stiffly, Ye Zhi spat out the words, “That’s all.”

Gu Ren smirked as he nonchalantly spoke with a drawl, “Is that really all?”

Ye Zhi persistently nodded in agreement.

Gu Ren continued to stare at Ye Zhi in silence. After a while, he spoke in a calm manner, “I recalled clearly hearing you say, in your worl—”

Ye Zhi promptly interrupted him, “You heard it wrong. I said, in our world.” She insisted that he had heard her wrong.

In a lethargic tone, Gu Ren said, “Is that so.”

Ye Zhi straightened up and put on a confident expression, “It’s true. I’m not lying, you must’ve heard me wrong.”

Breaking into a smile, he leaned towards Ye Zhi, staring straight at her with his black eyes.

In a nonchalant but gentle tone, he whispered into her ears, “If you’re not lying, then what are you afraid of?”

Startled, Ye Zhi replied, “You are thinking too much, I’m not afraid.”

Gu Ren eloquently spoke, “If you aren’t afraid, then why do you refuse to look at me?”
