What if you were targeted by a cool and aloof beauty?

"You are still not allowed to continue doing bad things," he added slowly and deliberately.

"understood."

Awu's head bobbed up like a roly-poly toy.

If it could, it would even like to kowtow to its big boss and benefactor a few times, begging him to let it go.

"Alright, you can go now. I'll have Qin Ye give you hints on what to do next."

An Chen clapped his hands, turned around, and ignored A Wu, who was still trembling.

It was already past 1 a.m., and he still had to go to the next place to make arrangements for Qin Ye; time was of the essence.

At 2 a.m., An Chen finally returned to the community.

He set up an inconspicuous barrier targeting Awu outside and leisurely walked inside.

Because he forgot to tell A-Wu not to play pranks, An-Chen felt it was better to be on guard.

After all, Awu wouldn't recognize him normally, and it wouldn't be good if it caused trouble at his own home.

If it were to accidentally come knocking on your door, its superb scaring skills would surely drive Jiuge insane.

Through the glass windows, the lights on the first and second floors of the apartment were on.

An Chen was somewhat surprised.

Although his room window was still open and the lights were not on, Jiuge's room and the entire living room were brightly lit.

When I went out, the entire apartment should have been completely dark.

An Chen slapped his head and sighed.

I miscalculated. I forgot to tell Zhang Zhidong that we should choose a time in the mortal realm to find Jiu Ge.

After hesitating for a moment, he chose to enter the house through the front door.

……

When the door opened, Jiuge, wearing a nightgown, was already sitting on the sofa.

She glanced coldly at An Chen and touched the dark circles under her eyes.

How did you get out?

Jiuge sighed and looked at An Chen again with an expression of disbelief.

“He jumped from the second floor,” An Chen replied calmly.

To be precise, he jumped from the second floor of the room.

"Jumping off a building?"

As if nailed to the spot, Jiuge was somewhat stunned.

She glanced at An Chen's upper body, then at his lower body.

She coughed and then looked away, somewhat embarrassed.

"It wasn't a jump; he just gently found a foothold by the window and jumped down."

An Chen looked at his trouser legs, then at his clothes.

It's too clean, so I'll have to make something up from here on out.

"She jumped down gently?"

Jiuge narrowed her eyes and scrutinized An Chen with an almost appraising gaze.

She caught him red-handed; this guy really is a monster.

"You might not know this since you didn't stay in my room, but the tree outside the window and the ground below form a perfect angle. Calculating the area of ​​impact and the foothold makes it relatively easy to get down."

As An Chen spoke, he pointed to his room, indicating that he and Jiu Ge should go in and take a look.

Perhaps the commotion was a bit too loud, because Naitang, who was sleeping in the large corrugated cardboard cat bowl that Jiuge had just bought, opened her eyes and stared blankly at the man and woman in front of her.

"you……"

Jiuge was momentarily speechless.

She glanced at An Chen, then at An Chen's room on the second floor, her expression conflicted.

She had never been inside a boy's room before... Wouldn't it be overstepping her bounds if she actually went in to check?

Furthermore, Jiuge believes that she and An Chen haven't reached that level of relationship yet.

"never mind……"

She sighed again, twirled a strand of hair, and decided not to waste any more time on this stupid question.

"Why didn't you use the main gate? Why did you jump off the building?"

"Because you're too cowardly."

An Chen also sighed.

Then, he looked at Jiuge with compassionate eyes.

"?"

Jiuge felt her fist harden.

"What I mean is, because you're timid, I'm worried I might scare you, so out of consideration for you, I've decided not to use the front door at night."

An Chen shrugged, looking somewhat troubled.

“If I could, I wouldn’t want to risk my life by jumping off a building,” he added.

For an ordinary person, jumping from the second floor is too dangerous.

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want Jiuge to be frightened by noise in the middle of the night, why would he have resorted to such a desperate measure?

"But...but...isn't that even scarier?"

Jiuge's expression became complicated.

But after a long time, she still couldn't come up with a clear answer.

Putting everything else aside, Jiuge just thinks it's outrageous.

Although she already thought it was outrageous when she discovered that An Chen was different from ordinary people and fearless, that didn't mean she would accept it calmly when she discovered other outrageous things about An Chen.

"Zhang Zhidong came to see you, didn't he?" An Chen went to the water dispenser, poured two glasses of water, and put them on the coffee table.

"Yes."

Jiuge nodded, but a hint of suspicion still lingered in her eyes.

The mysterious man is probably fine now, but An Chen is a very problematic person.

"I was so worried about you that I ran out in the middle of the night to look for Zhang Zhidong because I saw you were so scared that you couldn't walk and you even tripped over a candy."

As he spoke, An Chen took a sip of tea with a worried expression.

"Are you still scared?" he asked, showing concern for Jiuge.

"...That's not what I'm afraid of."

For a moment, Jiuge didn't know how to explain these things.

"You mean you were so worried about me that you risked your life? You even considered that I might be scared if I came out through the front door in the middle of the night, so you did that?"

As she spoke, her face suddenly turned bright red.

As if she had thought of something, her gaze towards An Chen became evasive.

“That’s right, that’s exactly it.” An Chen put down his cup and gestured to Jiu Ge to drink some hot water to calm her nerves.

Jiuge stopped talking, her mind already conjuring up a whole host of dramatic scenarios.

She took a small sip of the water An Chen had poured for her, glancing at him cautiously for a moment, then lowering her head as if lost in thought.

"Alright, go and get some rest." An Chen yawned, looking somewhat tired.

He calmly added, "I'm relieved that you're alright."

"Okay, I understand."

Jiuge glanced at An Chen, the heat still lingering on her face.

It turns out that An Chen cared about her so much, but she assumed he was malicious and even suspected him of being an old monster.

Jiuge gently brushed aside her slightly disheveled long black hair, crossed her arms, stood up, and let out a soft hum.

"Thank you anyway, and remember to get some rest."

After saying that, she walked stiffly up the stairs.

Jiuge turned the doorknob, glanced back at An Chen furtively, and quickly pulled her head back inside.

This time, when Jiuge returned to her room, the door didn't make a "bang" sound.

After putting away the tea set, An Chen shoveled the cat litter next to him.

After stretching, he added some cat food to the candy that was staring at him longingly.

Anchen wondered if it was because the cat hadn't been drinking enough water lately, but he noticed that Naitang's poop was smelly and hard.

He shook his head somewhat helplessly, washed his hands, and turned to go back to his room.

Chapter 28: I don't just really like her, I absolutely love her.

The next morning, An Chen left home very early with his bag.

When Jiuge got up, there was no one in the living room, only a milk candy rolling around on the floor, belly up in front of her.

Perhaps because she was startled by Zhang Zhidong in the middle of the night and then shocked by An Chen's series of actions, she surprisingly did not feel frightened when brushing her teeth and washing her face in front of the mirror this time.

For some reason, Jiuge suddenly felt very safe.

Thanks to An Chen, the guardian spirit, there haven't been any other spirits appearing in the house recently, except for Mao Mao Tou, that would frighten her.

It was indeed the right decision to collaborate with An Chen.

Thinking of what An Chen had said to her before she went to sleep last night, Jiu Ge felt her face burning.
