Chapter 170 - 170: Mr Gu Is Quite Wicked



After completing her homework, Lu Miao sat down and solved a few more sets of practice papers in her room.

Glancing at her phone, she realized it was already half-past eleven in the evening.

From Lingyue Manor to South Mountain, it would take about half an hour by taxi. By the time she reached the mountaintop, it would be around midnight, the ideal time for stargazing.

Getting up from her desk, she switched off the lights in her room and quietly made her way outside.

In the adjacent room, Gu Jinxi’s light was still on, indicating that he hadn’t gone to bed yet.

She didn’t need to check on Gu Shiyan, the workaholic. If he hadn’t returned by now, it was likely he wouldn’t be coming back tonight.

As long as she didn’t get caught by Gu Jinxi, that mischievous brat would undoubtedly insist on tagging along.

Lu Miao descended the stairs with light footsteps and stealthily approached the front door. Crouching down, she opened it.

Just as she lifted her leg to step outside, she collided with someone’s embrace.

Caught off guard, Lu Miao nearly stumbled backward from the impact.

Gu Shiyan quickly reached out and caught her, peering into the pitch-dark living room. He blinked and asked, “What are you doing…”

His long arms remained wrapped around her waist, and she caught a faint whiff of his laundry detergent—a scent of sea salt and lemon, the same as on her clothes.

The fragrances from their laundry detergents intertwined, blending together seamlessly.

Aware of this, Lu Miao felt an inexplicable warmth in her earlobes.

Swiftly regaining her composure, she took a step back and tried to speak nonchalantly, “I was going downstairs to get some water.”

With that, she turned around, hands casually tucked into her pockets, and proceeded upstairs with composure.

Drinking water by the entrance?

Leaving the living room in complete darkness, without even turning on the lights?

Gu Shiyan watched as the slender figure gracefully ascended the stairs in the dimness, resembling a child caught sneaking out of the house in the middle of the night by their parents.

A hint of amusement flickered in his eyes.

So, his little friend at home also had such a rebellious side.

Lu Miao returned to her room, raising her hand to touch her slightly warm earlobes.

Why did that guy suddenly come back?

Considering Lu Siya’s personality, she must have tried to get Gu Shiyan to use the love charm in the afternoon. Judging by Gu Shiyan’s recent behavior upon returning, it was evident that the attempt had failed.

Of course, even if she succeeded, she would have a way to help him break it.

That was why she gave it to Lu Siyu without hesitation.

The lingering scent of sea salt and lemon seemed to still waft around her nose. Shaking her head, she dismissed all her thoughts.

Standing behind the door, she listened attentively to the sounds outside.

She heard Gu Shiyan’s footsteps going upstairs and then directly into his own room, which relieved her.

To be on the safe side, she decided not to use the main entrance, to avoid another encounter.

She opened the balcony door and stepped onto the balcony, preparing to jump straight down from there.

“Ahem, do you need me to turn on the lights and shine them for you?” Gu Shiyan’s voice, full of amusement, came from the balcony on her right.

Lu Miao turned her head and saw Gu Shiyan leaning against the door of his balcony, arms crossed, leisurely looking at her.

The moon shone brightly overhead, casting a silver light upon him. She could clearly see the smirk on his lips.

Clearly, he had already guessed that she was planning to go out and deliberately waited for her here.

Lu Miao:…

The more she interacted with Gu Shiyan, the more she realized that all the talk of elegance, aloofness, and icy demeanor was nonsense. Deep down, this guy was quite wicked.

He clearly knew she was planning to go out but didn’t say anything, deliberately waiting here with mischief in mind.

He was full of mischief!

Since that was the case, Lu Miao decided to throw caution to the wind and stop pretending.

Assertively, she said, “I have something to do and need to go out for a while.” Gu Shiyan chuckled softly. “It’s so late. Do you need me to accompany you?”

“No… I… don’t!” Lu Miao gritted her teeth, intentionally enunciating each word.

With that, she stepped onto the edge of the balcony and jumped down towards the lawn below.

She landed gracefully, like a big cat, slightly crouching and using her hands to support herself, landing lightly on the ground.

“Take care,” Gu Shiyan smiled and shook his head, offering his advice.

His little one at home seemed to have many secrets.

But since she didn’t want him to know, he would pretend not to know.

Lu Miao raised her hand and gestured behind her, then confidently walked towards the exit of the residential area.

As one of the country’s leading economic cities, even at this hour, the streets of

Luo City were still bustling.

Lu Miao left the residential area and hailed a taxi by the roadside.

“To South Mountain, please,” she said to the driver.

The driver glanced at her through the rearview mirror and asked, “Miss, are you going to South Mountain to see the meteor shower?”

Lu Miao didn’t bother coming up with excuses and simply nodded, “Yes.”

The driver, concerned, advised, “It’s very late, and you’re going alone without a friend. I suggest you reconsider. Last year, two girls went to South Mountain together at this late hour to watch the meteor shower and ran into a deranged serial killer. They went missing for half a month, and when they were eventually found, their faces were completely disfigured. There was barely a trace of their bodies left. The killer is still at large. People say there are vengeful spirits haunting the mountain, so no one dares to go to South Mountain at night anymore. If you really like watching meteor showers, just go to the rooftop of your own building. South Mountain is too dangerous.”

“Thank you, but I made plans with a friend. Don’t worry, he’s a skilled martial artist. I’ll be fine,” Lu Miao replied.

She wasn’t afraid of anyone or anything, whether it be humans or ghosts.

If she happened to encounter that deranged killer, it would be even better. She would consider it her duty to rid society of such evil.

The taxi arrived at the foot of South Mountain, and the driver, still concerned, left her his phone number, instructing her to call if anything happened.

After thanking him, Lu Miao turned and started climbing up the mountain.

South Mountain was just a small scenic spot on the outskirts of Luo City, primarily for residents to enjoy nature and exercise. It wasn’t a high mountain.

Under the moonlight, Lu Miao quickly reached the octagonal pavilion at the mountaintop.

The meteor shower had already begun, with sporadic shooting stars streaking across the night sky.

The night wind blew, rustling the leaves on the mountain.

Lu Miao sat in the pavilion, looking up at the night sky.

In her previous life, she had been an orphan and had lived with her master in a Taoist temple on the mountain for a long time, relying on each other for survival.

When her master passed away, she was left all alone.

If her master were still alive, knowing she had come up to the mountain in the middle of the night to watch the meteor shower, he would probably pat her head with a smile and accompany her.

They would even compete to see who could spot the falling stars first.

Unfortunately, she inexplicably crossed over to this world and never had the chance to visit her master’s grave again.

In this lifetime, she didn’t know if she would ever have the opportunity to return to her own world..
