"Hello..."

"Xiaoqiao."

"Hmm..." Gong Xiaoqiao mumbled groggily.

"Missed you."

"Ah..." Gong Xiaoqiao was shocked! She couldn't have heard wrong, could she?

"Want to see you."

"Ah...?!" Gong Xiaoqiao finished her exclamation and suddenly jolted awake, "Now?!"

"Yeah."

"Dude, what time is it even! Let me check... 3 a.m.! Can you stop bothering me?" Gong Xiaoqiao's heart was in turmoil. Had Gu Hangshen taken the wrong medicine? To actually say he missed her?!

"Within ten minutes, either you come over or I'll come get you."

"Gu Hangshen! You're ruthless!"

Gong Xiaoqiao lay in bed, closed her eyes, and calmed for thirty seconds, finally restraining the urge to howl at the sky. She then sat up, dressed, and got out of bed with dispatch.

Asshole! Scaring her witless in the middle of the night with his nonsensical talk.

Gong Xiaoqiao hurried to the apartment with great urgency.

Just as she was about to take out her keys to open the door, she stumbled over some unidentified object.

"Ouch, that hurts! What on earth..."

Gong Xiaoqiao shined her flashlight over, and that "thing" turned out to be Gu Hangshen, the very person who had been driving her crazy in the dead of night.

"So it's not a thing..." Gong Xiaoqiao murmured as she picked herself up.

"Hey! Gu Hangshen what are you playing at, lying at the door instead of inside at this time of night?" Gong Xiaoqiao kicked him irritably.

If Gu Hangshen had been sober at that moment, she wouldn't dare to touch a hair on his head, even if she had ten times the nerve. But a drunkard! They are to be avenged for grievances.

Just as she thought of kicking him a few more times to vent her frustration, Gu Hangshen suddenly opened his eyes, and the clear pupils showed not a hint of drunkenness. Gong Xiaoqiao was startled and hastily withdrew her foot in a cowardly fashion, "Hey, you're awake... Why don't you go inside and sleep? It's so cold out, you might catch a cold!"

"I didn't bring my keys," Gu Hangshen said with a face of nonchalance, showing no sense of wrongdoing.

"You didn't bring your keys?! Then you tell me you missed me, wanted to see me! Making me risk getting bitten by a dog in the middle of the night to climb through windows to get here!" Gong Xiaoqiao exploded with fury.

"You weren't fully awake. You heard wrong."

"I... I heard wrong?" Gong Xiaoqiao felt played and had an urge to claw at the wall.

"Help me up," Gu Hangshen rubbed his temple.

The nerve of this jerk!

Gong Xiaoqiao glared at him with annoyance, "Here are your keys, I'm leaving!"

However, just as she turned to leave, she heard a painful moan from behind.

The man was leaning wearily against the wall with one leg bent, his eyebrows deeply furrowed, appearing very discomforted...

I'm so angry, I might as well strangle him and be done with it!

Gong Xiaoqiao thought this to herself but ended up helping him into the house anyway.

By the time she had heaved him onto the bed, she was exhausted. Just as she was about to get up to fetch some water, she was caught off guard and pulled back down as he grabbed her waist.

With her hands propped against his chest, she couldn't move, "Gu Hangshen, what's gotten into you!"

Gu Hangshen's eyes were closed, seemingly asleep. His expression was gentle, unlike his usual cold and aloof demeanor. His lips were slightly pursed, and his long lashes cast charming shadows. Although she didn't want to admit it, he really was... terribly attractive!

However, compared to his innocent-looking face, the place where his hand was resting was truly exasperating.

"Let go!"

"Are you going to let go?"

"If you don't let go, I'll bite you!"

"I'm really going to bite!"

"I'm telling you, I just got bitten by a dog!"

Before Gong Xiaoqiao could bite down, Gu Hangshen had already seized her nape and took his own aggressive bite.
