Chapter 86
He knew he should have stayed away from Pei Susu.
See? Now trouble had come knocking.
Gu Ran shook his head helplessly. Without saying a word, he bent down to change his shoes before entering the house.
Seeing him stay silent, Ye Zhenzhen narrowed her eyes and stretched out her foot to lightly tap his calf.
"Why are you ignoring me, brother? You didn't have this attitude when you were facing someone else just now."
Gu Ran: "..."
He opened his mouth but was momentarily at a loss for words. Rubbing the bridge of his nose, he ultimately decided against saying much—forget it, her mood swings had been huge these past few days, so he wouldn't hold it against her.
Seeing him remain silent, the young girl furrowed her brows, her cheeks unconsciously puffing out a little.
"Annoying jerk!"
Muttering under her breath, she hooked her toe and kicked his neatly placed slippers askew. Then, lifting her delicate chin, she turned around and walked inside.
Gu Ran: "?"
What did he even do to be called annoying?
But remembering that she hadn't been feeling well recently, Gu Ran swallowed his words, silently put on his slippers, and followed her.
Bang!
The moment her front foot stepped into the room, she slammed the door shut right behind her.
Gu Ran, who was almost hit by the door, stopped in his tracks just in time. Staring at the tightly closed door in front of him, he felt even more baffled.
Her temper today... seems exceptionally bad?
He blinked, then turned around and went back to his own room.
At dinnertime, urged by Ye Shulian, Ye Zhenzhen reluctantly walked over to Gu Ran's door and reached out to knock.
With a click, the door opened a crack. Gu Ran poked his head out, his expression a bit unnatural: "What's wrong?"
"Time to eat."
She shot him a glance and turned to leave, but suddenly stopped. Looking back, a trace of inquiry appeared in her clear eyes.
"What were you doing in your room just now? Being all sneaky."
"Who's being sneaky?" Gu Ran immediately retorted. He straightened his back, trying his best to look righteous and confident.
Ye Zhenzhen, however, leaned in slightly, her nose twitching like a wary kitten.
"You're acting weird."
"How am I acting weird?" Gu Ran tried to change the subject, but his eyes darted away for a second.
The girl keenly caught the subtle panic in his expression, and her curiosity to catch him red-handed grew even stronger.
She lightly stepped on the top of his foot and lowered her voice: "Spit it out, what were you doing just now?"
"Just reading a book..." Gu Ran said, simultaneously hiding his hand behind his back.
This movement was caught by Ye Zhenzhen. She immediately reached out and grabbed his arm: "What are you holding in your hand?"
"Nothing..." Gu Ran tried to dodge, but she had already slipped behind him.
The next second, she clearly saw what he was holding, and her cheeks instantly flushed bright red.
"Gu 'Dog' Ran!"
Biting her lip, her voice was full of embarrassment and anger, "Why are you holding this?"
Being caught red-handed, even with his thick skin, he felt quite embarrassed.
The tips of Gu Ran's ears also grew hot, but he still tried to explain: "I was just... just looking. I really didn't do anything else."
"What is there to look at!" She was both embarrassed and furious. She stomped lightly on his foot again. "Give it back to me!"
Gu Ran quickly stuffed the item into his pocket, turned around, and walked toward the living room: "Didn't Auntie call us for dinner? Let's go, let's go."
"Stop right there!" Ye Zhenzhen chased after him with a flushed face, her fingertips tugging at the hem of his shirt. "Take it out!"
"Let's eat first, we'll talk after dinner." Gu Ran quickened his pace, simply refusing to hand the item over.
"So annoying!" she complained softly. The heat on her face hadn't faded, but she still followed him toward the dining room.
This dog, does he just grab whatever he wants all day?
Doesn't he know what things are too hot to handle?!

and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger.
