I traveled through time and space as a villain and became her heart-stealer.

Thinking of this, Gu Qinghan dragged his tired body and slowly looked towards the bed, feeling a pang of sadness in his heart.

As a time traveler, I am probably the only one who has ended up like this.

From today on, he will cut off all contact with everyone.

It's so lonely.

Thinking of this, Gu Qinghan closed his eyes and fell straight on the bed to end this tiring day.

However, the final knock on the door sounded again——

Boom boom boom!

The steady and powerful rhythm made Gu Qinghan's back tighten.

In just a moment, it switched to combat mode.

"Who is it?" he said in a deliberately unpleasant tone.

If it's a man, then scold him back.

If it's a woman, then scold her/him back even more harshly!

After making up his mind, Gu Qinghan turned and walked towards the door, posing as if he was preparing for a battle.

No matter what, we must not give the yellow-haired physique a chance to take advantage!

However, the voice coming from outside the door was surprisingly familiar——

"It's me, Katerina. We met this morning."

Gu Qinghan couldn't help but pause and his expression became stiff.

In an instant, cold sweat soaked my clothes.

Why did she come back again?

Gu Qinghan felt his brain buzzing and his heartbeat slowed down.

Was the trap I set exposed?

He thought of the possibility.

At the same time, the girl's gentle voice came from outside the door again -

"I need to formally apologize to you for what happened this morning. Could you please open the door?"

Hearing this, Gu Qinghan was stunned.

"I know you are in the room now, please don't lie to me a second time just to cover it up."

From outside the door came Catalina's apologetic and nervous voice.

Gu Qinghan was stunned for three seconds. After an inner struggle, he finally stood up and reached for the door handle.

——Squeak!

With her silver hair draped over her shoulders, the girl looked at Gu Qinghan with her red eyes.

At this time, Catalina was wearing a white halter dress and sandals on her slender feet, looking like a girl next door.

Gu Qinghan looked at Catalina in front of him and found that her cheeks were flushed, her hands were behind her back shyly, and she was waiting for Gu Qinghan to open the door at a loss.

"Good evening, Your Excellency the Inspector."

Gu Qinghan gave a knowing smile and looked at Katarina with a hint of sarcasm.

The girl lowered her head with a flushed face, looked at her garlic-white toes, and waved her hands repeatedly.

"I won't go into the house. It's not working hours now... it's against the rules to enter and leave the house casually."

Gu Qinghan smiled faintly and nodded to show his understanding.

After a pause, Catalina raised her head again and looked at Gu Qinghan seriously.

"I came here mainly to tell you one thing."

She said every word.

"If you continue like this, you will still be arrested, so you must be careful!"

Chapter 12: A Gift of Love, a Thousand-mile Trip to Send My Wife

Gu Qinghan couldn't help but frown.

He didn't understand what Catalina meant, but one thing was certain.

Gu Qinghan’s situation now seems to still be dangerous.

"Tell me in detail." Gu Qinghan asked in a low voice.

Catalina first looked around to make sure that no one else was eavesdropping, then she cautiously leaned forward.

She put her lips close to Gu Qinghan's ear and whispered softly:

"Do you know why I checked on you first this morning?"

Gu Qinghan was stunned at first, then slowly shook his head.

By the way, Catalina's check-up time this morning was exactly at eight o'clock.

Under normal circumstances, it takes some time from the start of the spot check to the time when you are found.

For example, when doing nucleic acid testing, it takes some time from the time you start queuing up to when it is your turn to do the nucleic acid test.

As for Gu Qinghan's situation this morning, the time was not even a minute off, it was exactly eight o'clock.

In other words, Catalina had been waiting at her doorstep, waiting for someone to knock on the door on time.

This made Gu Qinghan's expression gloomy.

He quickly thought of a possibility.

"Because I was listed as a key focus?"

Gu Qinghan's eyes were cold as he spoke word by word.

"Yes."

Catalina looked serious, nodded solemnly and continued:

"Then do you know why you were listed as a key target?"

Gu Qinghan couldn't help but frown. This was really bad news.

"not sure what it is?"

Catalina glanced around again, then took a deep breath, looked sincere, and spoke word by word:

"Because you stay at home too much."

Gu Qinghan:?

He looked puzzled.

Is it illegal to be a otaku?

Catalina bit her lip lightly, as if she had anticipated Gu Qinghan's doubts, and then lowered her voice and said seriously:

"According to the information we collected during our private investigation, you moved to Diet Street in the City of Love, as if you appeared out of thin air."

“It’s very weird.”

Having said that, Catalina rolled her eyes and continued:

“On the other hand, when you move in here, the neighbors know nothing about you.”

"Everyone has all kinds of speculations about you, thinking you might be hiding some unknown secret."

"Neighbors' criticism is the fundamental reason why the higher-ups are suspicious of you."

Gu Qinghan looked into Catalina's eyes, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

It turned out to be the case.

The masses are petitioning.

No wonder Catalina said she was too much of a homebody.

"So, what do I need to do most now?"

“Make more friends with your neighbors and let them dispel their misunderstandings about you.”

Catalina stared into Gu Qinghan's eyes and spoke word by word.

"People's prejudices are as huge as a mountain. If you continue like this, the misunderstanding will get deeper and deeper, and the Inspection Corps will definitely send someone else to monitor you."

"By then, you can't wash yourself clean even if you jump into the Yellow River."

Gu Qinghan couldn't help but frown and nodded.

What Catalina said is indeed very important.

This morning, Gu Qinghan was able to save himself safely because it was Catalina who came to check on him.

If it was someone Gu Qinghan didn't know, he might have been in jail now.

"Thank you Miss Catalina for your sincere help. I will consider going out more often and interacting with neighbors to avoid misunderstandings."

Gu Qinghan smiled faintly and bowed to express his thanks with a sincere expression.

On the other side, Catalina showed a relieved expression.

"Good, I'm glad you realized that."

Catalina looked at Gu Qinghan with a smile, and then said casually:

"In that case, why not start now?"

There was clearly a hint of joy in her tone.

Gu Qinghan was stunned at first, then he blinked, vaguely realizing that the development of the problem seemed to be a little bad.

"You mean, dealing with neighbors now?" he asked tentatively.

Gu Qinghan vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Things seemed to be heading for the worst.

He had just changed his job, and coupled with the negative effects of his yellow-haired physique, he was not very suitable for dealing with people right now.

"To tell you the truth, I already have a candidate in mind."

As she spoke, Catalina stretched out a slender and soft hand and held Gu Qinghan's hand.

Then she glanced at him with a smile, turned around and spoke slowly:

"Mr. Richard, you can come out now~"

The pleasant words echoed in the dark and narrow corridor.

As the sound spread, the orange magic lights above flickered, illuminating the barren corridor.

Gu Qinghan stood there in a daze.

His gaze rested on the door of the neighbor opposite, which was less than three meters away from Gu Qinghan.

There's a small gap there.

The neighbor across the street deliberately left the door open.

Eavesdropping on their conversation.

At this time, Catalina turned around with a smile, looked at Gu Qinghan happily and said:

"Mr. Hohenheim, your neighbor Mr. Richard is looking forward to making friends with you and has been waiting for you all day!"

"You should seize the opportunity and make friends with him!"

"Don't read those books all the time. You need to go out and walk more occasionally!"

Looking at Catalina's slightly flushed face, Gu Qinghan realized something in an instant and his face turned pale.

This Catalina is trying to trick him!

At the same time, at the opposite door, less than three meters away from the two of them, the door slowly opened——
