Suddenly, Jiang Wanqing poked her little head out from under the bed, and her whole body lay under the bed like a salted fish, and then she slid out with a whoosh.

"Brother Shiche! You're a rascal! You're peeping into other people's privacy!"

Gu Shiche saw with his own eyes that Jiang Wanqing slipped out from under the bed, stood up with a somersault, and brushed off the dust on her body.

He was stunned and his hand stopped where it was.

What a weird way to appear.

Jiang Wanqing's face flushed red, and she immediately grabbed the open notebook, holding it in her arms and whispered softly.

"You... don't you know what personal privacy is? You're still looking through someone's diary."

Gu Shiche's voice was low and contained a hint of restraint.

"But your diary is right on the table. If it's really private, it should be locked up."

His eyes weren't as cold anymore.

He raised his slender fingers and casually lifted the loose hair hanging in front of her forehead and tucked it behind her ear.

Jiang Wanqing tilted her head slightly, looking at his sexy thin lips, inexplicably distracted.

"W-why are you in my room?"

She lowered her head, looking a little shy.

Gu Shiche's hands hanging by his legs tightened unconsciously, concealing a kind of restrained love and desire.

"Grandpa wants you to go downstairs for dinner, I'm here to call you."

Jiang Wanqing hugged the notebook, lowered her head slightly, and her ears turned red.

"I...I've already eaten. No, thank you."

"Besides, Madam Gu said I can't dine with you. It's against the rules."

Liu Mei secretly warned her many times not to contact or talk to Gu Shiche.

Otherwise, she would fire Zhou Yuhe.

Jiang Wanqing believed it, so she started to avoid Gu Shiche.

However, at this moment, her stomach began to growl.

Jiang Wanqing's face quickly turned red.

Gu Shiche also lowered his head and looked at her.

After a moment, Jiang Wanqing's wrist was grasped by him, unable to move, and he pulled her out.

"I...I really don't need to eat."

"Must eat."

These three words are so powerful that they cannot be refused.

Jiang Wanqing was pressed down on the dining table by him in full view of everyone.

Liu Mei's chopsticks, which she was about to pick up, were hanging in the air as she watched Gu Shiche take the sea cucumber in front of her and place it in front of Jiang Wanqing.

All the food was brought in front of her and placed in a row.

"eat."

Gu Shiche's innate intimidating aura, just one word, carries a full sense of toughness.

In the restaurant, everyone stared at Jiang Wanqing with wide eyes.

Especially when his mother Zhou Yuhe was standing behind him.

Jiang Wanqing felt like a roasted shrimp and almost wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Liu Mei put down her chopsticks heavily, making a loud bang.

But because Mr. Gu was in front of her, she was a little scared and didn't dare to say anything.

Liu Mei gritted her teeth and looked at Jiang Wanqing with an unfriendly look.

She turned her gaze to Gu Shiche again, and her tone softened again.

"Shi Che, you're going abroad tomorrow, have you packed everything?"

"Oh, you don't need to bring a lot of things, you can buy them there."

The silent Gu Shiche suddenly spoke, "Oh, I forgot to mention it."

"I don't plan to go abroad. I won't leave tomorrow."

"Ah?!" Liu Mei widened her eyes in disbelief.

Even the usually expressionless old man frowned and slowly turned to look at him.

Gu Shiche's posture of picking up the vegetables was casual and his voice was careless.

"I have unfinished business and don't want to leave. Let's postpone it."

As he said this, his eyes fell on Jiang Wanqing calmly, and his breathing stagnated.

Jiang Wanqing was eating quietly beside him, her body trembling slightly.

Liu Mei couldn't believe her ears. She quickly stood up and walked in front of Gu Shiche.

"No, Shi Che, why did you suddenly stop going?"

"You... didn't you agree with the old man that you would go abroad for training for three years, then..."

Liu Mei leaned close to his ear and whispered.

"Come back and the Gu family will be yours. Your grandfather is in poor health."

"It won't be long before you are the one in charge of the Gu family."

Gu Shiche glanced at her, his tone calm.

"It does not matter."

"Then what do you think is important? Is there anything more important than this?"

Gu Shiche sneered and put down his chopsticks.

"I think you're very interested in being in power. How about you come?"

Liu Mei felt like she had been hit on the head. She stamped her feet in anger and was completely speechless.

"Okay." Mr. Gu said.

He stood up and took up the scepter that was lying on the table.

"If he doesn't want to leave, let him go."

"If he feels that something is more important than being the heir to the Gu family."

"Then do it first, so as to avoid regrets."

"He will always be the heir. One day more or one day less, it doesn't matter."

Mr. Gu hunched over and walked out of the restaurant slowly.

Gu Shiche looked at his hunched back and suddenly felt that his grandfather was not as harsh as he remembered.

Even still standing on his side.

Before this, he always thought that Mr. Gu was a serious and scary person.

When Gu Shiche turned around, he found that Jiang Wanqing had disappeared.

The place where she had been sitting just now was empty.

Liu Mei was still saying something to him, but he didn't hear a word she said.

Gu Shiche stood up, looking for her frantically.

He pushed Liu Mei away and went looking for the remaining trace of Jiang Wanqing in the huge and empty old house.

He felt that he should lock Jiang Wanqing up, just like in his previous life, and tie her to himself with a rope.

Why did the person disappear again?

Is she deliberately avoiding me, or is there some other reason?

Suddenly, in the empty hall.

"Brother Shiche, are you looking for something?"

Jiang Wanqing stood behind him, smiling broadly.

Gu Shiche slowly turned around.

She had a ponytail and a yellow sunflower pattern on her hairband. She looked sunny and energetic, but her face was too pale.

"Where did you come from?"

Gu Shiche's eyes were red and his lips were extremely pale.

Jiang Wanqing grabbed the hem of her skirt, her tone so soft that it made people feel soft inside.

"When I was drinking soup just now, my hair kept falling into the bowl, ruining such a delicious soup."

"So, I went to the bathroom to get a rubber band to tie my hair."

"Brother Shiche, are you looking for someone?"

Gu Shiche's eyelids twitched as he looked at her face, as if he was suppressing some emotion.

"I'm looking for you."

If he could live his life over again, he wouldn't want to hide anymore.

His dark eyes stared straight into hers, his eye sockets were red and misty.

Jiang Wanqing lowered her eyes, clenched her fists tightly behind her back, and tried hard to suppress the trembling of her body.

It hurts, it really hurts.

She felt her brain was overloaded and the device was already giving warnings.

In the real world, the staff spoke in her ear.

"Miss Jiang, please get out! The device is overheating and will be disconnected soon!"

"Miss Jiang, if you continue, your body won't be able to bear it!"

In the current that connects the two people.

Gu Shiche approached her and suddenly grabbed her wrist, like a puppy wagging its tail and begging for mercy from its owner.

"Please don't leave, please. Don't hide from me."

"Please, don't leave."

Jiang Wanqing smiled and nodded in his sight.

"Okay, I'll always be by your side, don't worry, Tokiryu-nii."

Her eyes suddenly turned red and tears seemed to be about to flow out.

Jiang Wanqing suddenly stepped forward and hugged Gu Shiche to prevent him from seeing her cry.

"Brother Shiche, I suddenly want to play hide-and-seek like we used to play."

"Find me and I'll grant you a wish."

"Close your eyes and count down to 15 seconds."

"Then come find me."

Jiang Wanqing gradually let go of him, her lips turning as pale as a piece of white paper.

Gu Shiche closed his eyes obediently, his hands still holding her.

"Fifteen, fourteen, thirteen..."

"...three, two, one."

Gu Shiche opened his eyes.

He looked at the empty hall, his heart aching.

He called out to her one last time, on the verge of losing control.
