My eyes widened in surprise

My stomach let out a sound at the right moment, and only then did I remember that I hadn't had lunch yet. I truly regret it; how much better it would have been if I had honestly stayed in the classroom waiting for Xiao Chen. Now, who knows when I will be able to have lunch.

What is going on? I am almost going crazy; I understand every word this person is saying, but I cannot comprehend them when they are put together. Please answer my question!

He chuckled lightly and shook his head, saying: "You misunderstand; I am not the one who attacked you. On the contrary, I just protected you."

"Has Gu Yanxi woken up?" I hurriedly asked.

You scared me to death! I complained with a pat on my chest, "Why are you so silent? People can scare each other to death, do you know that?"

Who are you? I asked instinctively

I placed it on my knee and observed it

I saw in his ice-blue eyes a gaze as deep and calm as the ocean

"Protect me?" I grasped the key words in his chaotic speech, "Why protect me? Is it not that someone is going to attack the young master of the Gu family, but rather to attack me? Don't joke around, I am just an ordinary girl, with no grievances or enmities with anyone, why would anyone want to attack me? Also, what is the Kingdom of Qingqiu?"

On the dining table lay a Western-style lunch, with a steak on the plate. It seemed that despite being unwell, Gu Yanxi still remembered to treat me to steak.

Can you return it to me? At that moment, a voice filled with laughter came forth

Feigning death unexpectedly! I am furious

Like a ball of pure white snow, it has a pair of silvery eyes and a fluffy tail, lying motionless outside the floor-to-ceiling window, staring at me.

An hour later, I collapsed onto the sofa, my legs trembling uncontrollably, and I felt nauseous. I had just been in a half-hour chase with the car behind me, and finally managed to shake it off.

I rushed to the warehouse, and the door, which was originally closed, now had a small crack open. I pushed the door open and was immediately stunned in place.

I remained in the living room, slumped on the sofa like a pile of soft mud, not wanting to move at all

"Do not be afraid," he said, pulling me up by my arm, "I will not harm you"

So this is where you were hiding

What was this originally used for? I asked, pointing at the warehouse

Could it be that my actions were too rough and caused it harm

Earlier on the road, was that white object I saw actually this strange animal? Later, I found myself leaning against the rear window of the car as it suddenly started, and through the glass, I saw that the man sitting in the back of the car seemed to be the one in front of me, dressed in a pure white suit

He approached me step by step with a smile at the corner of his mouth

The butler thought carefully for a moment, then shook his head: "I have never seen such a person."

I apologize," he said with a hint of regret as he bent slightly, "I just called out to you, but you did not hear me

What is that thing

Gu Yanxi's health was already poor, and after the recent ordeal, he fainted upon returning. The private doctor is currently treating him

Have you ever seen a person who wears a white suit, a white top hat, has ice blue eyes, and carries a pure white pet that resembles a small cat

It looks somewhat like a cat, and also a bit like a Samoyed puppy, entirely snow-white, especially those silver-white eyes, which are particularly beautiful

I will never follow Gu Yanxi again, it is truly too dangerous

I breathed a sigh of relief, as long as everything is fine

Hey, don't go! I reacted quickly and chased after.

The abandoned warehouse does not seem suitable for hiding people

I was startled and suddenly looked up

"Alright, I was just asking casually. Has Gu Yanxi woken up?" I temporarily suppressed my doubts.

I stood there in a daze, while the little white creature immediately broke free from my hand and jumped onto the man's shoulder, its long, fluffy tail wrapped around his neck like a scarf

A person dressed in a pure white formal suit, wearing a wide-brimmed white hat, walked towards me, facing the light. The sunlight fell on his face, further accentuating his picturesque features

Just when I was filled with regret, Butler Chen came over and asked me to go to the dining room for a meal, saying that the young master had instructed him to prepare lunch for me

I turned to leave this place, but at that moment, the door of the warehouse made a sound

I tapped my own head; could it be that the recent lack of sleep has led to hallucinations and auditory illusions

While I was eating steak, I suddenly felt as if someone was watching me. I looked around, but I did not find anyone.

The butler nodded and said, "He just woke up once, and now that he has taken the medicine, he has gone back to sleep"

I originally thought that the strange man in white was hiding here, but there is nothing inside. It cannot be said that there is absolutely nothing; this evidently abandoned warehouse contains dilapidated cabinets that have begun to decay, with unknown vines climbing over them, and clusters of deep red flowers blooming profusely. It seems that no one has visited this place for a long time, emanating a strong scent of decay

He was taken aback for a moment, scrutinizing me with a strange gaze. After a while, he smiled and said, "So that's how it is."

He did not get angry upon hearing my words, but patiently explained to me: "The ones attacking you are from the Kingdom of Qingqiu, and I am here to protect you."

The butler said: "The young master has already woken up and is waiting for you in the living room"

He squatted down in front of me, his gaze level with mine

Did I misread it? I murmured to myself, yet after taking a few bites, that feeling of being watched returned

I stood up and followed Butler Chen into the dining room

I turned around in shock, my heart racing.

I suddenly put down my knife and fork and rushed over as fast as I could. The little creature was startled for a moment, raised its leg, and was about to run away, but I had already grabbed its tail. The little creature struggled a few times, and finally lay still on the ground.

However, at that moment, the little creature jumped to the ground, and fortunately, I was quick-witted and managed to catch it again.

I pretended not to notice, scanning the surroundings with my peripheral vision, until a white object caught my eye

The butler glanced over, his expression showing no change, and he said: "Originally, it was just a warehouse. Then one year, when the young master was playing here, he accidentally got injured, and it was abandoned since then"

What exactly are you? I murmured, I have never seen an animal like you.

That person said I would know in a few days, so in that case, I will think about this issue again in a few days

Yet there is nothing in front of me, everything seems as if it had never happened, I searched extensively but could not find that person

"Miss Xia." The voice of Butler Chen suddenly came from behind.

"It's you!" I exclaimed in surprise, stepping back several paces quickly. "How did you get here? Why did you attack us?"

It is strange, could it be that I am dreaming? I frowned, my mind filled with questions, and glanced around, only to find myself standing at the entrance of the warehouse behind the villa. In front of the warehouse, there were many rose bushes, and under the sunlight, the colors of the flowers became increasingly vibrant, almost surreal in their brilliance

"In a few days, you will naturally understand." He did not explain to me, but walked away with that strange animal in front of me

What do you want to do? I shifted back a little, and surprisingly felt a bit nervous.

During lunch, both the butler and the maid withdrew, leaving me alone in the vast dining hall

I remembered!

The place where we are currently staying is the villa belonging to the Gu family

"Protect?" I looked at him with a crazed expression, "Don't joke around, are you really saying that the person chasing us isn't you? Do you think I'm blind or just foolish?"
