142 How Could It Be? (2/2)

He stood beside Gu Xijiu for a moment, slowly reached out and gently uncovered the bed drapes, exposing the girl who was sleeping inside.

The girl on the bed was thin and petite in size. On the little palm-sized face, was an extremely delicate facial feature. Without the red spot on her forehead, she would be a beautiful girl when she grew up.

The girl did not sleep tight. She slightly frowned, suddenly turned her body and kicked the quilt to the corner.

The man was surprised and looked at her for a moment. He raised his hand and that quilt automatically flew back to cover her.

”It's hot!” the girl mumbled for a while and kicked the quilt away again.

But it was already autumn and the weather at night was quite cold.

At that time, there was neither a heater nor stove in the room. Without being covered by a quilt, it was very easy to catch a cold.

However, she did not seem cold although she was only wearing a thin nightgown, but felt hot instead, as sweat was already forming on her forehead.

The man’s eyes deepened and looked a little disappointed. It was only now that he knew that this girl had a warm body constitution.

He reached out his fingers to catch the girl’s wrist. After a while, he moved his fingers away and looked at Gu Xijiu, then he moved his fingers to her face, seemingly checking on her.

After this, he withdrew his hand. He stared at Gu Xijiu's face and had a deep thought.

He seemed to be thinking about something. A moment later he sighed and lifted his hand; the window reopened and he disappeared right in front of the window.

The guards were still patrolling outside without even noticing that there was a man who broke into the room.

The bedroom returned to absolute silence.

Gu Xijiu slowly opened her eyes.

”Master, you are finally awake! Did you know that someone just came in?! If the person wanted to kill you, you would already be a dead man!” The Firmament Stone released its discontent in her mind.

Gu Xijiu remained silent.
