Chapter 386: Chapter 386: Ambiguity May Arise

Her head throbbed as if it were about to split open, her heartbeat wildly accelerated, breaths came short and fast, and the whole world spun around...

"What’s wrong?" Sensing something was off with her, Gu Hangshen asked urgently.

"It’s none of your business, let go, don’t touch me..." Xiaoqiao’s emotions became increasingly agitated.

In the past few years, every time she felt suffocated with emotion or was provoked, she would see a world awash in crimson, her eyes accompanying the color with stinging pain.

Crimson... That was the only color she had seen besides black for the past three years.

Not wanting her to be further stimulated, Gu Hangshen glanced at the corner of the courtyard gate, "Long Yan!"

Long Yan, who was suddenly called out, walked out from his hiding spot with a bewildered face.

Since when had he been discovered!

Gu Hangshen handed Xiaoqiao over to him, "Help her into the house to rest."

Long Yan, still dazed, steadied her, also a bit slow to recover from Gu Hangshen’s startling behavior just now.

"Uh... oh..."

How did things develop into this situation?

Xiaoqiao scoffed lightly, pushed Long Yan away, and staggered, refusing his support.

Shrugging, Long Yan pushed her back, "See that? She doesn’t want my help. You should take responsibility for your own actions!"

Xiaoqiao stumbled and fell into Gu Hangshen’s arms but didn’t leave immediately, just closing her eyes slightly, feeling intently...

His voice was cold as ice, the words he spoke so hateful and so heart-wrenching...

But at that moment, his suppressed tension, his frantic calling of her name, was that also a lie...

That feeling of nearly being seen through made Gu Hangshen panic; even though he didn’t want to push her away, he still stepped back instinctively to avoid her.

However, as soon as Gu Hangshen made a move, he found her arms reaching out to embrace him, so he stood rigid as a stone, frozen in place.

She was so close, so tight, a slightly deeper breath could feel the soft pressure of her chest...

It was like being tenderly yet firmly entangled in a slippery seaweed, unable to break free...

Or rather, unwilling to break free...

"Gu Hangshen, answer my questions," she demanded, circling his body with no room for refusal.

He was wrong; it wasn’t seaweed but shackles and chains, nailing him to a rack, demanding a confession...

It seemed there was an interesting scene unfolding, and Long Yan, not minding a little more commotion, clamored, "Hey, hey! Xiaoqiao, how can you hug another man in front of me! That really breaks my heart!"

"Tell me the reasons, all of it."

Long Yan was ignored once more...

Gu Hangshen clenched his fists, about to speak when Xiaoqiao leaned against his chest, "I’ll know if you’re lying."

Gu Hangshen’s expression stiffened, swallowing back his words.

"After three days..."

"I want to know now."

"It’s not possible now."

Long Yan’s face darkened, "You two, your conversation can easily lead to misunderstandings, huh!"

Gong Xiaoqiao: "Only animals would misunderstand."

"..." Long Yan, holding his head, went to the corner to grow mushrooms.

"Hey~ Xiaoqiao-chan~"

Hearing a voice from distance, Xiaoqiao reluctantly let go of him. Gu Hangshen immediately breathed a sigh of relief, his back surprisingly soaked with cold sweat.

"Xiaoqiao, you’re so slow! I’ve been waiting for you at the crossroads for so long! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh—"

Before her eardrums could burst from the scream, Xiaoqiao promptly covered her ears, followed by her arms being vigorously shaken.
