"No!"

Gu Tong shouted in excitement and jumped up from the bed at the same time.

"Don't be afraid, everything is fine."

Before Gu Tong could clearly see what was happening around her, she heard a gentle voice comforting her.

She looked towards the source of the voice and saw that Si Yicheng was looking down at her from above.

"You …"

Gu Tong gently opened her mouth. She had some doubts she wanted to ask, but she didn't know where to start. She didn't know if she should ask, because she didn't know how much Si Yicheng knew and how far things had progressed.

Thinking of the scene before she fainted, thinking of her disgusting and terrifying face and Gu Tong wrapped in her blanket, she couldn't help but shiver.

As soon as she began to tremble, she was embraced by Si Yicheng into a warm and safe embrace.

"Nothing happened. You are still the same you, just a nightmare."

Si Yicheng consoled Gu Tong by her ear. From her panicked eyes, he could see the unease in her heart. That was why her words were filled with heartache.

Gu Tong, who was curled up in Si Yicheng's arms, immediately raised her head when she heard his words. She asked in disbelief, "Did nothing really happen? I... "I really …"

That was a possibility that Gu Tong couldn't put her finger on!

Facing her pleading gaze, Si Yicheng firmly nodded, "Nothing really happened. I brought you back in one piece."

Seeing that Gu Tong was still skeptical, Si Yichen comforted her, "If you really don't believe me, I can ask the doctor to come to my house and give you …"

"No need, I believe you."

Gu Tong quickly shook her head and refused. She couldn't accept looking for a doctor to examine this kind of thing.

Through this action, Gu Tong finally discovered that she was lying in Si Yicheng's arms.

Her cheeks flushed red, she started to move her body, wanting to leave without leaving a trace.

Just as she made her move, Si Yichen actually took the initiative to let her go.

"Ugh …" That... I... "You …"

Gu Tong sat on the bed with her head lowered. She really didn't know what to say to Si Yi Chen under such circumstances.

"No need to thank me. I just happened to pass by and saved you."

For the past few days, Si Yi Chen had been thanked by Gu Tong several times. When he saw her shy appearance, he assumed that Gu Tong wanted to thank him again, so he refused her in advance.

He really didn't like it when Gu Tong thanked him. He didn't like it when he saw her acting so polite.

Gu Tong, whose mind was in a mess, hadn't thought of thanking Si Yi Chen just now. Now that Si Yi Chen's words had reminded her, she immediately said to Si Yi Chen, "Although it was just along the way, you saved me in the end. I should still thank you."

Gu Tong nodded cautiously at Si Yichen, "Thank you again for helping me."

Originally, Si Yichen's complexion had been quite good, but after seeing Gu Tong's actions, his complexion immediately became unsightly.

"You … How did you happen to pass by that place at that time, and how did you happen to see me in trouble? "

After a moment of silence, Gu Tong, who hadn't received any response from Si Yicheng, couldn't help but ask.

Gu Tong wasn't a person who liked to pry into the secrets of others. This was all because she felt that her being rescued by Si Yichen was simply inconceivable.

Logically speaking, it should have been impossible for Si Yicheng to have been in that place at that time!

"There is one thing in this world called coincidence."

As Si Yi Chen turned around and walked towards the window, he gave Gu Tong a perfunctory reply.

Gu Tong opened her mouth and didn't give up. She wanted to ask more questions, but as she saw Si Yicheng looking out the window with his back facing her, she suddenly felt scared.

[He doesn't want to look at you, doesn't want to talk to you, so why are you asking for trouble?]

Gu Tong lectured herself in her heart before slowly sliding off the bed.

"Since you don't want to say it, then forget it. I'm fine now, so I'll go back first."

Out of politeness, before Gu Tong prepared to leave, she intentionally came behind Si Yicheng and solemnly said her goodbyes.

Gu Tong didn't want to disappoint him, so she didn't wait for his reply. She turned around and walked towards the door.

"You are not allowed to leave."

Gu Tong had only taken two steps when she heard Si Yicheng stop her.

Gu Tong's heart told herself that there was nothing here for her to linger for, that she shouldn't stay here any longer.

However, her body was completely out of her control. The moment she heard Si Yicheng's voice, she immediately and obediently stopped moving.

Just as Gu Tong was about to take another step forward, Si Yichen had already arrived in front of her.

"Why do you always avoid me?"

Si Yichen stood upright in front of Gu Tong, not even a hint of emotion in his voice. Gu Tong was unable to see through his thoughts.

However, to Gu Tong, what Si Yicheng was thinking at the moment wasn't important. This was because she didn't plan on revealing the reason why she had run away from him.

However, it wasn't that Gu Tong didn't want to say it, but that she didn't understand it herself.

The reason why Gu Tong didn't want to see Si Yichen when they hadn't met was because she felt that he had concealed his identity from her and even said goodbye to her. He really didn't value her, so she was very angry.

But after meeting her, she realized that there seemed to be more to it than these reasons.

It was just that she couldn't say what else it was.

Si Yicheng had been waiting for Gu Tong's answer. Gu Tong had been thinking about what he couldn't figure out. The two of them stood there, looking at each other, the atmosphere awkward and subtle.

"It's getting late, I really should go back now. We can talk about it in the future."

In the end, Gu Tong chose to be a cowardly turtle and stiffly skipped over the question.

In the end, Si Yicheng didn't pursue the matter any further. Instead, he simply said, "My room is missing a person who does cleaning. You can stay there and clean it whenever you have the time."

"I don't want it."

Gu Tong didn't want to be with Si Yicheng for long periods of time, nor did she want to be his servant.

"Other than you, no one else knows my habits better. You have to do it."

Si Yichen forcefully demanded, his tone making it hard for others to easily resist.

"This matter cannot be changed. I advise you to agree as soon as possible so that we can all rest early." After all, it's already midnight. "

When Gu Tong was unwilling to give up, Si Yichen quickly added, his tone was a bit more casual this time.
