Chapter 26 Can we not listen to our ancestors?
Gu Zhibei's pupils suddenly contracted.
He stood frozen in place, like a petrified statue.
It was very dark in the bedroom.
All that could be heard was the low hum of the air conditioner, the sound of the motor vibrating.
Apart from that, there seems to be no other activity.
The girl's soft cry seemed to be just his hallucination.
Gu Zhibei turned his neck choppy, like a game character with a frame rate drop.
After reverting to human form, he lost the powerful night vision that cats possess.
He could only see a small, dark shadow, quietly curled up in a corner of the bed.
Occasionally, it would let out a soft, gentle humming sound.
"Am I dreaming?" Gu Zhibei wondered.
No one knows what Jiang Youyu dreamed about that made her call out his name in her dream.
With his entire body completely naked, Gu Zhibei didn't dare to think about it too much.
He gently pushed open a gap and quickly slipped out.
The living room lights were extremely glaring.
When it landed on my skin, it burned with a burning, shameful sensation.
Gu Zhibei rushed straight to the bedroom and only let out a deep breath after he had dressed properly again.
A cold sweat broke out on my back.
Fortunately, it ended without any serious harm.
If I'm discovered, my life might end there.
Gu Zhibei lay on the bed, his rapid heartbeat gradually calming down.
Trying to peek at the diary while Jiang Youyu is away is probably a dead end.
She treated her like she was guarding against a thief!
Who would have known she kept a diary? Who would have known that the diary contained evidence of a young girl's shameful crimes? And who would have known there was a key under her pillow?
Can the tabby cat, the only witness to the crime scene, talk?
It was just an innocent little kitten that knew nothing.
…I almost forgot.
She even has to be wary of cats.
Gu Zhibei lay helplessly on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
By the time sleepiness silently crept in, it seemed that dawn was already breaking.
In a half-dreaming, half-awake state, he seemed to hear the sound of wheels turning beside him.
It was very light, yet it seemed to grind on the boy's sensitive nerves, dispelling some of his drowsiness.
Is it ginger-fed fish?
Is it already morning?
Gu Zhibei instinctively tried to open his eyes, but the next moment...
Suddenly, I felt a cool and soft touch on my face.
Those were the girl's fingertips falling.
She seemed to be secretly playing a prank, her fingers constantly tracing patterns on his face.
This mischievous little hand seemed unwilling to miss any spot, touching his forehead all the way to his chin, pinching his nose from time to time, or gently poking his lips, as if his face was the girl's most beloved toy.
Gu Zhibei instantly regained his senses.
He struggled to suppress the urge to open his eyes.
At this moment, the boy had only one thought in his mind.
Ginger-fed baby fish!
I finally caught you!
He wanted to see what kind of "terrible things" this guy would do to him!
A strong sense of curiosity, mixed with a touch of trepidation, surged within the boy's heart.
Gu Zhibei tried his best to calm his breathing.
He closed his eyes and couldn't see anything.
All I could feel was the touch on my face and the soft breathing of the girl.
Suddenly, a warm breath brushed against Gu Zhibei's face.
"How long are you going to pretend to be asleep? I can tell now..."
Jiang Youyu's tone was very soft, completely unlike her usual coldness.
Her soft, sweet voice carried a hint of coquettishness, like coaxing a playful little baby to fall asleep quickly.
"..."
The boy's heart skipped a beat.
Discovered?
wrong.
If she had really seen through him, Jiang Youyu would never have spoken to him in that tone!
Gu Zhibei calmly drew a conclusion.
This was her test.
How cunning, Jiang Youyu.
They actually resorted to such insidious methods.
He remained motionless and continued to pretend to be asleep.
The boy could clearly feel the other person's intense gaze fixed on his face.
It was as if they were searching for his weakness.
After a long while, Jiang Youyu's soft muttering to herself could be heard.
"Is he still not awake? I went through so much trouble to wake him up, and my voice is hoarse from shouting... Humph, he can sleep even better than a pig."
She chattered on and on, completely unlike her usual cold and silent demeanor.
She continued speaking softly, but then suddenly changed the subject:
"...Anyway, you just won't wake up, so you can't blame me. It's your own fault for not waking up. You're really driving me crazy..."
"Gu Zhibei, I really, really, really tried my best to wake you up, so... so! It's all your fault!"
"You can't wake up, and you insist on staying at my house. It's all your fault that I've become like this! You disobedient little brat, since you've done something wrong, you should obediently accept your punishment."
"You're not allowed to disobey your sister..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a soft touch came from the boy's lips again.
Was it her finger?
No, it needs to be softer, warmer, and even a little damp...
A spark ignited unintentionally in Gu Zhibei's mind, suddenly igniting a fierce fire.
What I am is...
Jiang Youyu stole a kiss from me?!
...
The soft, moist feeling on the lips was fleeting.
Like a silent remnant of a dream.
But Gu Zhibei knew this was not a dream.
He was violated by Jiang Youyu.
This may not be the first time.
Could she have done something even worse?
Gu Zhibei felt a surge of intense anger.
It's just too much.
Young ginger fish.
Let's leave aside the fact that he harbored such terrible thoughts for now.
How dare they do this to him without his consent!
Would he really refuse?
of course.
Gu Zhibei himself would definitely not agree to such a terrible thing.
However, as our ancestors said...
there's always a solution to any problem.
If Jiang Youyu cried and begged him to say that she liked him and couldn't leave him at all, and that she would never resist him no matter what he did to her as long as she became his girlfriend... how could he possibly refuse?
That's a famous line that will be remembered for centuries.
If you don't agree, aren't you questioning the validity of this statement?
That won't do.
Respecting the elderly and caring for the young are traditional virtues.
How can we ignore the words of our ancestors?
But Jiang Youyu, you insist on doing bad things secretly.
She still dares to call herself "older sister"?
Tsk.
Arrogant.
In those brief few seconds, Gu Zhibei seemed to have gone through a long mental storm.
He considered opening his eyes immediately, and then, more nonchalantly than usual, saying, "Surrender, little fish, I will expose all your crimes to the world."
He also considered waiting until dawn to continue pretending he knew nothing, comfortably enjoying the innocent relationship between friends.
But besides these thoughts, there was also a deep sense of resentment at being kept in the dark.
Look, this boy who prides himself on being unpredictable and insightful has been completely fooled by a silly little fish.
shame.
A humiliating disgrace.
Gu Zhibei had never suffered such humiliation.
So he made his decision.
He wants revenge.
He wanted revenge!
He wanted to make Jiang Youyu willingly and wholeheartedly shout out those words—
Gu Zhibei, I like you!
