Upon detecting Qin Youbei's gaze, Gu Xiao turned his head to look at her. Like a thief, she guiltily looked the other way, not quite sure what she was thinking. Her little face was twisted in conflict, blending in with the dark surroundings, as lonely as a solitary snowflake.
That heartless girl, why would she make such a face?
And, with her temper, she would typically ask for an explanation. Why was she so quiet now, not saying a word?
"What are you thinking about?" Gu Xiao suddenly asked.
Qin Youbei's mind wandered for a moment before she shook her head, stuttering, "No, nothing..."
Her evasive eyes made Gu Xiao frown slightly.
Something was off. Had she been eavesdropping?
His gaze, sharp as an arrow, seemed to pierce through her, sending a chill down Qin Youbei's spine as she involuntarily clenched her fists.
He couldn't have discovered her eavesdropping, could he? Gu Xiao was astute; it would be difficult not to alert him. Should she say something to cover it up?
