Chapter 190: Chapter 189 Insomnia Night

You’d have to be out of your mind to go with you, thought Gu Youyou, though she didn’t dare say it aloud.

She had finally escaped these dangerous people, so why would she stupidly follow this most dangerous individual?

Gu Youyou shrank her neck, her face turning red as she said, "That won’t do, if we get caught together... we’ll be... we’ll be drowned in a pond."

"..." Where did that come from?

"Then why stay? Do you think someone like him would stay with a village girl like you in this remote little mountain village?"

With an innocent and scared look, Gu Youyou firmly shook her head and said, "Marrying him is known to the entire village, even if he doesn’t stay, wherever he goes, I will follow. Please don’t talk like that, in consideration of the time I saved you, it could ruin my reputation."

The man squinted, a look of surprise on his face. He observed her for a moment, then with some disappointment, he sighed, "I thought you were a special kind of village girl."

Gu Youyou: "..."

All right, she was a village girl. Did he have to keep reminding her?

There was another unusual noise outside, and the man sensed it immediately, pricking up his ears and looking out the window, his expression turning grave.

Likewise, Gu Youyou heard it too, and her face darkened.

The person outside, like this man, moved with steps too light to be ordinary, making it unclear whether it was Jin Zijin or not.

Heh, no wonder she couldn’t sleep tonight, it was indeed lively.

"Quick, let’s go, it might be him."

To say Gu Youyou was helping him was less accurate than saying she was helping herself.

She had no clue about the person behind all this, but this man might very well know who it was. Perhaps, he could be of great use at a crucial moment.

The man looked down at Gu Youyou in surprise, not expecting an ordinary farm girl to possess such sharp hearing.

Gu Youyou gave a bitter smile and whispered, "Like you, I was locked in a dark room without daylight since childhood, having to drink that kind of medicine every day. Whether this hearing is related to the medicine or is innate, I don’t remember."

Before her words ended, the man in front of the bed had already vanished, disappearing like a ghost before her eyes.

Gu Youyou quickly widened her eyes and looked around, only to see him atop the darkest part of the ceiling.

Their gazes met, she let out a sigh, quickly lay down, closed her eyes, and wrapped herself tightly in the thin quilt.

Outside, the person was cautious, but became careless upon entering the courtyard, displaying a casual gait that lacked Jin Zijin’s composure.

Not him?

Gu Youyou furrowed her brow.

Tonight really was a sleepless night.

The person outside casually pushed the door open, and this time Abao wasn’t idle. It bared its teeth and snarled at the stranger, not being a dog or a wolf meant it couldn’t bark like a dog nor howl like a wolf—it made a series of strange noises, mixed with the sound of it grinding its teeth angrily.

It was warning whoever dared to step into the house that if they took one more step forward, they shouldn’t blame Abao for being rude.

But being so small, its attempt to look fierce came off more adorable than threatening, causing the person outside to burst into laughter.

"Have your teeth grown in yet, little one? Being so fierce isn’t nice, you know."

It was a stranger’s voice, one Gu Youyou had never heard before.

No matter who he was, intruding uninvited in the middle of the night made him no good person.

She quickly sat up, slipped on her outer garment, and walked out of the bedroom.

And on the way out, she picked up the stick used for doing laundry at the door.
