Lu Chengzhou looked at the screen of Gu Mang’s phone. It was the final round. Everyone was exceptionally vigilant. Yet Gu Mang found a breakthrough.
The girl’s fingers were relaxed and she operated her phone beautifully. It was really pleasing to the eye. When the game ended, Lu Chengzhou’s eyes moved from her phone to her face and he stared intently at her pale side profile.
“Is Lin Shuang a hacker?” he suddenly asked.
The two of them were very close to each other and his voice was very soft. He spoke just by her ear. Gu Mang paused for a while and did not make any movements. She did not have to turn her head and she knew that he was staring at her.
“Ah,” She looked at her battle score and uttered nonchalantly. “I guess so. Her technical skills with computers are pretty good.”
When Lu Chengzhou heard her say this, he chuckled. “You know her so well, don’t you know what she does?”
Among the people who were by Gu Mang’s side, her friends were Meng Jinyang and Lin Shuang. As for the rest like Jiang Shenyuan and Ji Heng, they treated her in a more respectful manner. Does she not understand Lin Shuang well?
Gu Mang turned to face him and she raised her eyes. Her eyes were pure and black, clean and cold, and there was no emotion in them.
She asked blankly in return, “We sleep in the same bed but do you know what I do?”
Lu Chengzhou did not expect her to retaliate like that. Her identity was indeed rather surprising to him. She also knew many people.
Gu Mang yawned and seemed to be really tired. “Help me put the leftovers in the fridge. I’m returning first.”
After she said that she wanted to get up but her hand was tugged at, pulling her body back down.
She turned to look at him and heard him say, “Return tomorrow morning.”
Gu Mang raised her eyebrow and did not answer. She looked intently with her black pupils for two seconds, then she suddenly grabbed him by the chin and kissed him. Lu Chengzhou’s black eyes darkened suddenly and the hand that was grabbing her tightened.
After Gu Mang got what she wanted, she pushed herself away to create some distance. Then, she hooked his face with her fingers and smiled. “I’m leaving.”
Lu Chengzhou didn’t notice that at the moment and she broke free from his grip. Seeing her get up, Lu Chengzhou lifted his arm but he did not catch her.
He watched as she walked out of the door slowly without turning back. The man squinted and after a while, he smiled.
Was she coaxing me in such a way? Leaving after flirting with me? Is it because she thinks that I can’t get ahold of her?
…
Gu Mang returned to the little wooden hut and Xing Zhi happened to have just returned from the training ground. When he saw Gu Mang appear, he looked startled for a few seconds.
Ms. Gu had gone to the medical room. Why didn’t she spend the night there?
When Gu Mang was about to pass by him, he regained his senses and uttered respectfully, “Silence.”
Gu Mang nodded slightly. She thought of something and paused. “How is Gu Si’s health?”
Gu Mang knew how intensive the special training was. At Gu Si’s age, he was at a loss when it came to fighting with his bare hands.
She did not want to see him end up with some lifelong disability after one special training. He was too young. Whenever Gu Si was mentioned, Xing Zhi’s expression seemed strange.
He had probably never seen such a difficult person.
Xing Zhi cleared his throat and answered, “Young Master Gu is pretty dark. He has a lot of tricks up his sleeves. For now, he’s fine.”
Gu Mang had guessed as much.
She moved her wrist and said with a serious tone, “Keep a close eye on his health.”
“Yes.” Xing Zhi bowed respectfully and answered. He hesitated for a while. “Silence, what’s the relationship between Young Master Gu and you?”
The moment Xing Zhi said this, he felt rather scared. He glanced at Gu Mang carefully.
The girl’s face looked even more cold under the moonlight. There was no expression on her face. She said the two words, “My brother.”
Xingzhi was silent.
Is her whole family all so psychotic?
