As evening fell in winter, the sky quickly darkened.
Driven by impulse, Gu Zhixi followed He Jingyao to the neighboring apartment, but as the man opened the door and turned to smile at her, she began to regret it.
Being alone with this man late at night, and in pitch darkness at that... The thought made her want to turn and run.
"What, Miss Gu is scared?" The man seemed to see through her hesitation, his tone lightly provocative.
"Who's scared?" Zhixi retorted defiantly, "Let's go in!"
He chuckled softly, pushed the door open, and walked in.
It was indeed pitch black inside.
"You do have a flashlight at home, right?" Zhixi followed him inside, trying to adjust to the darkness.
The big door closed behind them with a bang, making her heart skip a beat.
"Yes." He Jingyao's deep, soft voice sounded, and he suddenly grabbed her wrist, "Miss Gu, this way, the circuit is over here."
