Chapter 453: Chapter 453: Creating Discord (4)

The corners of the large white dog’s mouth were so raised, they could hook up a kettle, as he said, "Don’t lump me in with those people!"

"Did I say you?" Gu Nuan seemed to glance back at him intentionally.

He leaned close to her face, a finger gently sliding across the corner of her mouth, "What, you also want to hide private money like the old lady? I’ll give you as much as you want. I’ll definitely make you feel secure for life."

Mrs. Zhou entered the room and walked into her own bedroom, pulling out a heavy suitcase from under the bed. It was one of those extravagantly luxurious rattan wood suitcases from decades ago, which now looked obviously outdated.

After opening the suitcase, she took out a photo frame and gently touched its surface with her fingers, continuing to touch it until her eyes suddenly filled with tears, and she cursed, "Beast! He’s really a beast—"

The village was definitely not very safe at night, it was said to be simple and rustic, but it was hard to say what kinds of people would come here. It was heard that recently the village near Zhou Jin had not been very peaceful. Some families were nearly robbed.

Whether it was true or not, the villagers did not go out at night, locking up their doors early. They didn’t let their children out to play.

Grandma Zhou went to the next-door warehouse and after inspecting the junk inside, she locked it with a big iron lock.

Although it was junk, it was this old lady’s living expenses. The villagers’ pension was simply not enough for three meals a day.

Gu Nuan borrowed a phone charger from Grandma Zhou to charge her own phone.

The large white dog’s iPhone needed a charger, which Grandma Zhou definitely didn’t have; she could only look for one from someone else in the village. He was always afraid of alarming someone, so he decided not to borrow one.

Mr. Xiao didn’t worry about it at all and casually said to his wife, "Just call me if you need anything, just answer. Your words are my words."

In response, Gu Nuan directly threw her phone at him: "Then I might as well just give you my phone. After all, they’re all looking for you."

"Who said that? Didn’t that so-and-so still contact you?" The little kid sat up from the bed, ready to interrogate her.

And so, the topic of that Mr. Wu came up again.

Wa Zicong later sent her a text message to tell her he had temporarily returned to his hometown.

Of course, Gu Nuan didn’t reply to a single message.

"The same goes for both of us," Gu Nuan replied to someone, "Miss Yang has even chased down my phone number. It’s convenient for her to find you as long as the phone is with you."

Xiao Yebai suddenly jumped up from the bed, his arms wrapping around her, "Are you jealous? Are you jealous?"

"I’ve been dumped once before, do you think I get jealous?"

When Gu Nuan said this, she felt utterly helpless. A heart that had once been hurt wasn’t easy to wholly give away again so easily. Not just her, anyone who had undergone such a profound lesson would know how to protect themselves. She was just protecting herself, that’s all.

Her fingers then touched his slightly hooked lips, "Listen, this isn’t bad."

She knew he was just teasing her. Flirting, she understood. But, not to take it too seriously.

He didn’t speak, but his lips kissed the fingers she extended to him.

They embraced intimately for a while.

Gu Nuan went to take a shower.

By this time, the night had grown deep, and the villagers seemed to go to sleep much earlier than city folk. Xiao Yebai checked his watch; it was just past ten at night. But clearly at this point, most of the villagers and animals had already started to sleep. Unlike city people, who could work all through the night as if it were nothing special.

Grandma Zhou stayed in another room, having turned on the TV to watch. It was unknown whether the old lady had fallen asleep while watching the TV.
