Gu Yu glared at her from the corners of his eyes, his gaze cold and indifferent. He pursed his lips and a faint smile appeared.

Zuo Si felt a sudden pang of panic. She blinked under her calm pretense and lowered her eyes to escape his glare.

Xu Weilai was here because of her.

Gu Yu certainly would not want to see Xu Weilai's presence here.

However, it was indeed unkind of her to have gotten Xu Weilai here and still provoked Gu Yu further. Zuo Si went to unpack her luggage without another word.

They took their dinner separately.

It was easy for them to not bump into each other considering the size of the residence. Zuo An and Xu Weilai went for a walk in the courtyard after their dinner before they returned to their room.

Zuo An sat on the sofa with his computer as he still had some works to be taken care of. Xu Weilai asked if he needed any help since she had nothing else to do and left him alone when he declined.

Xu Weilai played with her phone until the clock struck eleven and went to shower and changed for bed. She saw that Zuo An was done with his work when she came out from the bathroom, "You can use the bathroom as you like. I'm going to bed first."

Zuo An nodded. "Okay, good night."

Xu Weilai lay on the bed while Zuo An went into the bathroom.

Zuo An turned off the light at midnight and found his way to the sofa in the dark. He lay down and took one last glimpse at Xu Weilai before he closed his eyes.

Xu Weilai went to bed early to avoid the awkwardness between them. However, she could not bring herself to sleep. Perhaps it was because of the unfamiliar environment, or it might be because of her nap in the afternoon.

However, she lay still until the room was silent as she did not want Zuo An to worry for her. She knew Zuo An had fallen asleep when she vaguely heard his steady and long breathing. She picked up her phone and checked the time.

It was already two o'clock in the morning.

She felt uncomfortable about having insomnia and worried that she would wake Zuo An if she kept tossing and turning on the bed.

She bit her lower lip and hesitated for a moment before she got up. Perhaps a cup of warm milk would help her sleep.

Xu Weilai got up from the bed quietly and carried her indoor slippers with her as she tried to stay quiet. She walked to the door and opened it, then gently closed it behind her.

Everyone in the house was asleep as it was extremely quiet.

Xu Weilai bent down to put on her slippers, but she still kept her footsteps light. After all, she was in someone else's house. It would be rude for her to wake others if she made any noise.

Zuo An showed her the kitchen when they went down for dinner earlier. Thus, she can still clearly recall the direction of the kitchen and made her way there easily. She made her way to the refrigerator.

They filled the refrigerator with various of food and ingredients. She found the milk and poured it into a cup, then heated it with microwaves. Just as she was about to drink it, she heard footsteps.

Xu Weilai subconsciously turned her head towards the sound of the footsteps. She glimpsed a figure walking in fast pace from the entrance towards the stairs and then went up the stairs.

Although she could not see clearly in the dark, she somehow felt that the figure looked familiar from the back, as if she knew the figure and had seen it somewhere.

She frowned and thought for a few seconds, then raised her foot and followed the figure.

The figure went up to the third floor, then stopped at the door of a room, pushed the door open, and walked into the room.

Xu Weilai hid at the stairs. She tiptoed towards the door as well when she saw the figure entered the room. She looked into the room from the gap of the open door.

Her eyes widened in shock at what she witnessed.

Gu Yu glared at her from the corners of his eyes, his gaze cold and indifferent. He pursed his lips and a faint smile appeared.
