Chapter 217: Chapter 218: Shadow in the Darkness

Chu You quickly redialed the phone. He-he-he, bet you didn’t expect big bro to be awake this late!

Perhaps it’s an illusion, but Chu You felt that the moment the Game Pod opened, his mind was quite clear and his thought process extremely lucid. There was something different about his brain. It seemed like his memory had significantly improved? ?

With a blink, Chu You waited for the call to connect.

After three rings, Bao’er answered the phone.

"Bao’er, why did you choose to call big brother so late?"

The other side didn’t respond, but Chu You could hear a faint breath. What was wrong? He was baffled at the moment.

Right then, in a pitch-black single dormitory of the Youyou Orphanage, Bao’er was lying all alone. In the middle of the summer, the air conditioner was running in Sleep Mode, maintaining a perfect temperature.

The phone screen’s light illuminated Bao’er’s exquisite small face. Bao’er couldn’t sleep, wondering if it was due to the new environment or the appointment with Chu You. Even when she did manage to catch some sleep, she would just wake up soon after.

She knew she had overshot the time to call Chu You, and perhaps that was why she was unable to sleep? Therefore, her idea was to make a call and then hang up. She felt that this would bring her a lot more peace of mind.

She just hadn’t expected Chu You to still be awake at this late hour.

Before she had closed her eyes for even one minute, the phone suddenly rang. Without a doubt, it had to be Chu You calling back. Bao’er was confused about whether to answer it or not. After hesitating for two seconds, she eventually picked up.

But once she had, Bao’er didn’t know what to say.

"Is there something wrong?" Chu You asked again.

"Er... I’m sorry, Bao’er didn’t call... big brother earlier." The voice was as soft as a mosquito, but it was still clear.

"Ah, that’s okay, big brother didn’t take it to heart. Why are you still up so late?"

"Can’t sleep... but I want to sleep now."

"Alright, go to bed earlier. Call big brother at 8 o’clock tomorrow night!"

"Okay..." after saying this, Bao’er didn’t hang up but waited for Chu You to do it.

Chu You also waited for 2 seconds, then shaking his head, he rang off the phone, thinking: This girl...

In her heart, Bao’er wanted to tell Chu You about an incident, but she found herself somewhat overreacting, not sure...

Because she has been increasingly aware that one of the male teachers at Youyou Orphanage seemed to be crossing a boundary in the way he cared for her. His constant attention, despite being seemingly well-intentioned, had started to feel odd to Bao’er.

Bao’er could not forget an incident when she was in the school office with him. Bao’er was solving a difficult problem and she felt some presence at the back of her neck. Surprised, she immediately turned around to find her teacher, also a tutor, standing behind her. That was not the problem, the real issue was that the teacher had his eyes closed and seemed to be sniffing something with an immersed look.

Was he secretly smelling her fragrance? Bao’er was taken aback by her own thoughts, followed by a frantic urge to escape. She immediately excused herself to use the restroom and left that place. From then on, Bao’er remained extremely cautious of him and her fondness for him gradually faded.

Yet, it seemed that he hadn’t noticed the guarded look in Bao’er’s eyes and still continued to express his concern for her from time to time, which made Bao’er feel quite displeased and anxious.

Luckily, he hadn’t made any further moves so far. Instead, it was just a special kind of care.

Bao’er was dimly aware of the irregularity between men and women, especially the peculiar way that male teacher looked at her.

What should she do about it? Bao’er was very distressed. On one hand, he was her teacher, and moreover, a teacher who cared for her a lot. Everyone noticed this. Accusing him just for that reason would not be justified, and would also land her into trouble.

Bao’er was very worried. She was afraid of being expelled from the orphanage. Although it was impossible, who could predict a little girl’s thoughts? At least, that’s how Bao’er thought.

The only thing left to do was to reduce their interaction as much as possible.

If she were to tell Chu You about this, what would happen??

Considering yesterday’s young man’s aura in the courtyard, all the highest leadership and heads of the orphanage showed respect and greeted him politely. Perhaps that particular male teacher would be dismissed if she told Chu You?

Bao’er knitted her brows, because that’s not what she wanted.

If she accuses someone who just cares for her as being a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and as a result, he gets dismissed, who would dare to come near her? Everyone would steer away from her and eventually, she’d be isolated in the orphanage.

Let’s not think about it. I feel sleepy. Bao’er felt herself drifting off, sleepiness attacking her senses.

But just when Bao’er’s long eyelashes were about to close, suddenly, in the quiet hallway outside, there came light footsteps.

With slightly open eyes, Bao’er didn’t think much of it, assuming it was the night duty security guard.

However, as the footsteps drew nearer, and lighter, Bao’er instantly opened her beautiful eyes. The sleepiness was mostly gone, but she remained still, gripping a corner of her white quilt tightly.

Although whoever was outside tried hard to suppress their sounds, in the silent environment, it was still clearly audible. The moment the soft footsteps stopped right outside her door and paused, fear gripped Bao’er’s heart.

Bao’er held her breath, too scared to make a sound.

Then, a shadow appeared on her quilt- the outside streetlight shone a shadow of a person onto her quilt through the window.

It was evident that someone was secretly observing her from outside the window!

Bao’er instantly closed her eyes, pretending to be in deep sleep, motionless.

After a while, when Bao’er felt the shadow receding and heard the receding footsteps, she slowly opened her eyes, filled with fear.

Who could it be? Bao’er was hesitant to assume it was him...

Then, Bao’er gently got out of bed, tiptoed towards the door, silently clutched the doorknob, and gave it a twist. This action soothed her a bit.

Thankfully, she had locked the door before going to sleep. Calmed down, Bao’er went back to bed after checking the window. Shortly after, she fell asleep.

What was Chu You up to?

He was sitting at his computer in the middle of the night, reviewing the information sent by Wei Hong and Xia Yueying. After mastering the coordinates of his targets, that is those guilds that had declared war, Chu You shut down his inbox.

Then he went on the official website and started browsing the forum.

One post caught Chu You’s attention. The post, pinned at the top of the forum, read as follows.
