Of course, Gu Tao knew exactly what Wu Xue was thinking, but some things are better understood than said, and it's not necessary to spell them out. It's better to remain friends and overlook certain things, especially since she's just an ordinary person with no abilities. She doesn't have the radiant aura of He Yuxiang nor is she a child of the plane like Liuzi. According to Gu Tao's way of thinking, which always considers the worst-case scenario, having Wu Xue tag along was very unsafe, and... sometimes maintaining a proper distance is the best idea.
He reluctantly, even begrudgingly, escorted Wu Xue to her doorstep and took a square object out of his pocket to hand to her.
"Is it a lighter again?" Wu Xue asked, her tone clearly laced with a kind of muted grievance.
Gu Tao shook his head and pressed the button on the caller that looked like a lighter. His watch lit up immediately, displaying the location distance and danger level.
