Cold And Noble Man
When she had keyed in her password during the day, Yang Mengshan was sitting right beside her.
Yang Mengshan could have easily seen it. What if she remembered it and then changed her choice later on?
Gu Youli continued to think this through. But her heart was about to leap out of her chest. She crept to the back of the door to check the family’s main circuit. The switch was off.
Was it because of a short circuit or was it because someone had done it on purpose?
She lifted her hand and pushed it up gently. It did not trip again and their house lit up.
Therefore, it had really been a part of Yang Mengshan’s ploy.
Yang Mengshan was the one behind it. When she saw Gu Youli go to the study room, she must have been afraid that she would log in to the page where they filled in their choices so she just cut the electricity.
Luckily, she was cautious. Otherwise, her good grades would have gone to waste.
Gu Youli sneaked out of the house and ran to the closest internet cafe at top speed. She panted as she logged in on the page and entered her password.
Voila! The column of her first choice was empty!
Gu Youli’s heart shook. She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails almost pierced through her palm.
She quickly filled her choice in and just in case, changed her password as well.
Just as she was about to log out of the computer, Gu Youli paused.
There’s a saying called an eye for an eye. Gu Youli’s gaze turned icy cold. She did not switch the computer off. Instead, she logged into another account.
When Yang Mengshan went on a trip to Jingcheng, Gu Youli also went there.
Gu Youli kept having a recurring nightmare ever since the college entrance exam had ended. She kept dreaming of the terrible scene before her death.
Every time she woke up, she would fear that she would be in the icy nether world.
She had read in a psychology book that the reason one would have such a dream was because of experiencing a big trauma.
But it was not something impossible to cure. The best way was to return to the place where it happened and face it head-on!
However, Gu Youli did not expect that the hotel hadn’t existed seven years ago.
Instead, it was currently a small shophouse with an apartment on the second floor and a cafe on the first floor.
The cafe’s business was not very good today. Other than Gu Youli, there was just a young man sitting inside.
Gu Youli sat facing him and could not help but observe him.
The man was sitting quietly as he read a newspaper but was exuding a noble aura that was hard to miss.
There was an understated elegance in his demeanor. Other than that, he seemed to be infinitely awe-inspiring and gave off an extraordinary sense of grandeur.
The afternoon sun shone in through the glass window and enveloped him with a light golden glow. It looked like the representation of light and warmth in Greek mythology. He was like the god who controlled heaven and earth, a profound mystery that no one could solve.
The man lifted his head to glance at Gu Youli. He had noticed her gaze.
Gu Youli was caught off guard and fell into the depths of his eyes. His dark pupils were gleaming, drawing a person in deeply, almost unwittingly.
After spacing out for a few seconds, Gu Youli lowered her head nervously.
She could not ignore the feeling she got when their gaze had met. His eyes were calm and indifferent but she seemed to have been drowned in a cold liquid.
That kind of expressionless indifference was way more chilling than someone being cold and apathetic.
