Gu Xiaoxi had just turned around when her wrist was gripped by a pair of strong hands.
Startled, she turned back, staring dumbly at the man whose eyes were ablaze with intensity, "Did I disturb you?"
She then came to her senses. Wasn't it highly inappropriate for her to be in his room?
"Not at all, it's late at night. Why aren't you sleeping?" Quan Shaoqing explained.
Gu Xiaoxi quickly withdrew her hand, offering a sheepish smile, somewhat guiltily, "I came out to pour myself a glass of water. I saw your room door open, did a mouse get in?"
Fortunately, the lights weren't on, otherwise her face would have been even more embarrassingly red.
"A mouse?" Quan Shaoqing raised his eyebrows in disbelief. How could there be a mouse?
"Yes, but it seems to have run out again. I'm sorry for disturbing you, please go back to sleep. I'm leaving," Gu Xiaoxi said as she turned to run away.
She had told a lie that even she couldn't convince herself of... Embarrassment to the extreme!
