384 Midnight Visit 3 (2/2)

That day, he stayed in her house and had prepared a big meal for Gu Xijiu.

Due to lack of experience, his cooking was quite poor in quality. The dishes were not delicious, the steamed eggs had been over steamed, the vegetables were too salty but she liked it very much. However, he was thinking of something else when he accompanied her. Occasionally, he was idling while he watched her eating.

Gu Xijiu found his actions strange and asked him with a smile, ”Why are you looking at me? Is there a nice flower on my face?”

Long Xi laughed and then shook his head as he smiled. He made fun of her, ”There’s no flower on your face, but your face is much nicer compared to a flower.”

Gu Xijiu felt her face turning red, as that was the first time he complimented her.

He did not explain any further but pat her head, ”Come and see me after a month, I’ll help you check.” He then left her house.

”Long Xi…” She watched him leave and disappeared from her sight. She mumbled, ”I like you, but I'm not sure how you feel…”

She did not continue the rest of the sentence as she felt a sudden pain, as though someone had pressed on her injury accidentally!

She was sweating, and everything turned into a dark space. She seemed to be waking up soon and tried to open her eyes. However, she felt her body sinking into a dark hole.

Suddenly, she heard a soft voice asking her, ”You like Long Xi? Or Long Siye?”

She was sad despite it being only nothing but a dream. She answered in a blurry state but she could not remember anything.

The voice asked her again, ”What do you like about him? I think I’m better…”
