”You want me to go?”

Jiang Jiayi's voice resounded in Gu Linxi's ears as she nodded her head. If she didn't want Jiang Jiayi to leave, why would she ask? If Jiang Jiayi were to ask her this, there would be no meaning at all. Thinking back to the last time when he'd been unable to fall asleep due to a short message from Jiang Jiayi, his heartstrings couldn't help but twitch as if someone had strummed them.

She could not recall which feeling it was. She was able to recall it slightly, but it was also as if she could feel that feeling.

At some point, Jiang Jiayi's right hand had grasped Gu Lingxi's right hand. The warmth that came from Jiang Jiayi's hand once again reminded Gu Lingxi that Jiang Jiayi had a secret on his body. With all his heart, Gu Linxi wanted to take her hand out from this man's hand. However, the moment she was about to do so, when she saw that pair of deep eyes, she actually had a feeling that she didn't dare to act rashly.

Slightly at a loss as to what to do, Gu Linxi stiffened her body, a trace of fear flashing through her eyes. Although it wasn't very obvious, Jiang Jiayi still saw through it. Jiang Jiayi looked at his hand and suddenly understood. Gu Linxi's hand was simply too warm. It formed a stark contrast with her own.

Thinking back to the moment when his hand had come into contact with Gu Linxi, Gu Linxi felt rather unnatural. From the looks of it, Gu Linxi wasn't afraid of him for no reason. However, this matter wasn't what he wanted. Even if Gu Linxi couldn't feel her heart beating or her body warming up, Jiang Jiayi wouldn't let him go free just because of this.

”You found out?”

To Gu Linxi, Jiang Jiayi's voice sounded somewhat ethereal. Gu Lin Xi didn't know, or perhaps he didn't remember, what it felt like to speak a ghost, but she believed that if he spoke, he would definitely be like Jiang Jiayi was now. It would make one's hair stand on end. Even though his face didn't seem scary at all, just thinking about how he was wearing human skin, it was hard to tell what kind of creature it was.

Gu Linxi thought back to the true appearances of those devils in the horror movies, and when she looked at Jiang Jiayi's face, she automatically thought of a face with hundreds and thousands of holes in it. Perhaps they were lacking something, or they were bleeding, or they were riddled with wounds. If one merely relied on their imagination, they could be extremely terrifying. People with a lot of imagination would easily scare themselves when they thought of such things, which was the legendary way of scaring themselves.

It was obvious that Gu Linxi was in this kind of situation. Actually, she wasn't exactly frightened by Jiang Jiayi, but was instead shocked by his association with, or perhaps, his own brain. After all, this sort of thing was far more frightening than what he had seen.

”What did I find?” Gu Linxi pretended that she didn't understand what Jiang Jiayi was saying. Of course, if she really didn't understand, then that would be even better. However, this was an extremely strong temperature difference, so she could only pretend that she didn't understand Jiang Jiayi's words.

The corners of Jiang Jiayi's mouth curled up slightly. His smile had clearly been a normal smile due to psychological factors, but in Gu Linxi's eyes, it had turned into the satisfied smile of a big bad wolf finally being able to eat a hearty meal. Gu Linxi felt that she was the dinner of the big bad wolf. She swallowed her saliva, feeling a little nervous. However, if she was really going to treat herself as a dinner, he wouldn't need to go through so much trouble.
