Chapter 4: Gu Xiuyuan, why did you come to school?
Wen Wan opened her eyes, directly meeting those deep ones.
"Xiuyuan? I am... Fang Jie?"
Gu Xiu Yuan furrowed his brows, as if he was seriously trying to recall who this Fang Jie woman was.
"The one who called me last night to inform me of Wen Wan's whereabouts?"
Fang Jie's face immediately displayed an unsightly expression, and she almost dared not meet Wen Wan's gaze.
"I remember who you are now." Gu Xiu Yuan answered, "I appreciate what you did last night, but please refrain from intervening in my and Wen Wan's personal matters in the future."
After a pause, Gu Xiu Yuan added, "Don't call me Xiuyuan; only Wen Wan can call me that."
With that, Gu Xiu Yuan gently set Wen Wan back on the ground.
His movements were so tender, as if he was handling the only treasure in the world.
Gu Xiu Yuan... was he always this gentle?
In Wen Wan's memory, Gu Xiu Yuan mostly wore a stern face, his mood unpredictable, truly an enigma.
After returning the phone to Meng Jie and expressing her thanks, Wen Wan then pulled Gu Xiu Yuan away from the classroom entrance.
A man like Gu Xiu Yuan was too conspicuous in the school.
Tall and erect, his dark blue suit perfectly outlined his broad shoulders and narrow waist.
It was one thing to have a good figure, but Gu Xiu Yuan's face was also handsome, even extremely so.
His sharply contoured face seemed like a masterpiece sculpted by a renowned artist, flawless. His brows were lightly furrowed, exuding an aura of authority. If not for the slight smile in his starry, deep eyes, he might be mistaken for non-human.
Finally finding a less crowded spot, Wen Wan stopped.
"Why are you at my school? Didn't we agree you'd wait for me at the school gate?"
Gu Xiu Yuan took out Wen Wan's phone from his pocket and handed it to her.
"Someone forgot their phone at the hotel. If I didn't personally deliver it, how would you contact me?"
Wen Wan reached out to take the phone, but Gu Xiu Yuan raised it higher.
"Gu Xiu Yuan! What are you doing!?"
"What did you call me?"
"Neurotic!!"
Wen Wan reached out again to take back her phone, but the height difference between them was too great; she couldn't even touch Gu Xiu Yuan's wrist.
"Gu Xiu Yuan!! Give me back my phone!!"
"I'll ask again, what did you call me?"
The man's body gradually closed in, his dangerous aura pressing down on Wen Wan.
"Quick... give me back my phone."
Gu Xiu Yuan grabbed Wen Wan's slender waist and forcefully pulled her towards him.
"What did you call me?"
The man's warm, moist breath sprayed on Wen Wan's ear and neck, instantly enveloping her in a familiar woody fragrance.
"Gu Xiu Yuan..."
"Wrong." The man's voice grew hoarse, "Call me again..."
"Gu Xiu Yuan... let me go! This is a school!... Mmm!!"
Gu Xiu Yuan fiercely pulled her into his embrace, not giving Wen Wan a chance to speak.
"I said you got it wrong, call me again."
"Mmm...!!"
Wen Wan protested discontentedly, trying her hardest to push against the man who confined her.
Gu Xiu Yuan finally loosened his grip slightly, "What do you call me?"
"Are you sick?!" Wen Wan's expression carried a hint of anger.
Gu Xiu Yuan grabbed Wen Wan's neck, "Last chance."
The man before her resembled a beast ready to erupt at any moment, a strong sense of oppression instantly overwhelming Wen Wan.
Flashes of Gu Xiu Yuan tormenting her in a previous life instantly crossed her mind, awakening her fear of Gu Xiu Yuan.
Wen Wan unconsciously trembled, her voice quivering, "Xiuyuan..."
Gu Xiu Yuan, feeling the girl in his arms trembling, looked down at Wen Wan with a frown.
"Are you afraid of me? This is the second time you've trembled beside me, why?"
"That... last night, you... it hurt too much."
