Acting Up

Qin Qing walked straight over and blocked Gu An's view of the television.

Gu An raised his head a bit. "Welcome back."

Thereafter, Gu An withdrew his gaze. "You're blocking my view."

Qin Qing was even more surprised.

"Kid, have you cleaned the room? You are just watching television!"

Gu An didn't understand why Qin Qing was mad. He indifferently responded.

"I have already cleaned up before you left the house this morning."

After replying, Gu An added another sentence.

"You woke up too late and didn't see it."

Qin Qing couldn't tolerate anyone refuting her at this moment. 

"What? Do you want to brag about how early you woke up? You are a little old man! You even go to bed at 10 o'clock every night."

Qin Qing added, "You are also extremely picky when it comes to food. As long as I add a dash of onion, you will throw a tantrum and refuse to eat."

Gu An's face was a little flushed when Qin Qing brought up the matter. "That's not throwing a tantrum!"

"If it's not throwing a tantrum, then what is it? A little wimp is still a little wimp."

Gu An angrily looked at Qin Qing. 

Qin Qing's demeanor seemed as though she would prevent anyone from being happy just because she was miserable.

However, Qin Qin was not easily upset. Other than finding trouble everywhere, Qin Qing always had a mischievous smile on her face.

A thought suddenly flashed in Gu An's mind.

"Did you get your monthly visitation from your aunt?"

The air was silent for a moment, and Qin Qing's anger seemed to have been pulled down from the clouds.

The atmosphere was inexplicably strange.

Qin Qing pretended to be fine and sat on the sofa.

"I want to drink hot water."

"Oh."

Gu An stood up and went to pour a cup of hot water.

"I want to eat dessert."

"Oh."

Gu An quietly took out his phone and started ordering takeout.

The awkward atmosphere dissipated after Qin Qing fell asleep on the sofa.

Gu An heaved a sigh of relief.

At this juncture, the doorbell suddenly rang. Gu An stood up. He was about to open the door when he suddenly felt a sharp pain on his face.

Gu An subconsciously wanted to touch his face, but the ringing outside the door became increasingly urgent.

He could only suppress the inexplicable burning pain and quicken his pace to open the door.

However, when Gu An opened the door, the delivery man outside couldn't help but take a step back in shock upon seeing Gu An.

"Y-your takeout."

After finishing his words, the delivery man ran away in a rush. Gu An was not in the mood to pay attention to the delivery man's strange reaction.

He only felt that the intensity of the pain on his face accelerated. 

Gu An turned around and went back to his room. Qin Qing also woke up at this moment. She asked, "Is the dessert here?"

Qin Qing stood up. She was about to turn around when she heard a loud noise. 

Gu An wailed in pain on the ground.

"Gu An?"

Qin Qing quickly ran over. However, when she saw Gu An, her pupils suddenly constricted.

What was going on?

Gu An's face was covered with terrifying red scars. He was almost beyond recognition.

Even his body was covered in it.

A disfigured villain… So the supernatural forces didn't just turn Gu An smaller. 

Gu An rolled left and right on the ground in pain. His nails scratched the floor and left some marks.

Qin Qing wanted to check Gu An's pulse, but Gu An struggled as if Qin Qing was a ferocious beast.

Gu An muttered.

"Get lost! Get lost! Don't touch me!"

Qin Qing could not check on Gu An at all.

"Kid, wake up. I'm Qin Qing!"

However, it did not work. Qin Qing could not help but sternly speak.

"Kid, if you dare to cause trouble again, I'll chase you out!"
