The taxi stopped outside the courtyard of the Gu family's villa.

"Gu Qiao.... Wake up, it's home. ”

Gu Huai stretched out his hand and gently pushed the girl's shoulder.

His pale face was full of tiredness, but twenty minutes away, he fell into a deep sleep in the blink of an eye.

With some hesitation, he reached out and tried to carry the man out of the car.

As soon as he leaned over and approached, the person in his arms suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were deep and cold, and he was vigilant and precautionary.

“...... You ....."

The strangeness of this moment made Gu Huai stunned for a moment.

"I ..... Just fell asleep? ”

The girl blinked, as if she could see clearly who the person in front of her was, her shoulders slightly relaxed, and she came back to her senses in a trance.

Gu Huai silently removed his hand and said in a low voice, "Hmm..... Didn't sleep long. ”

With an inquiring expression, his gaze fell under the girl's blue eyes, why did he sleep for a while, and he was more haggard than just now?

"I'm sorry."

Gu Qiao sat up straight, raised his hand and pressed the center of his eyebrows, which hurt a little.

[Gu Qiao, it's so strange, your energy is all negative, and you have been being rapidly consumed by something.......]

Eva's mechanical voice was puzzled.

Gu Qiao pursed her lips, she couldn't see what Eva said about the energy worth, but the reason for the consumption was ..... She probably knew why.

The strange codes in her consciousness, she couldn't see them now, but she could vaguely feel that those codes had been running around in her body, as if trying to break some kind of confinement, bringing a sense of impact like washing the meridians.

Maybe I'm too hungry. ’

Gu Qiao responded vaguely to Eva in his consciousness, and then cheered up and got out of the car behind Gu Huai.

She looked around the courtyard gate, where was the old man?

Until Gu Huai opened the courtyard door, the two walked in, and Gu Qiao did not wait for the old man to appear.

Obviously, the headlights she copied are nearby...

Are you embarrassed to come in?

The courtyard of the villa and the hall on the first floor are all lit up.

Gu Qiao raised his eyes and looked over, there was someone at home, could it be that the old man had already come in..... Well, how are they?

"Are Mom and Dad back?"

Gu Huai carried the cake and walked in front of him.

"It's not."

Behind him, there was a girl's firm and slightly cold voice.

Gu Huai looked back in surprise, under the reflection of the light, the girl's pale but beautiful face, frowning at the moment, was looking in the direction of the hall, with a heavy expression.

Gu Huai was a little confused, so he walked quickly to the hall.

Reached out and pushed the door open.

Bang –

The ceremonial flowers exploded, Gu Huai raised his eyes, and the lights in the hall suddenly went out.

In the darkness, there is a faint candlelight.

With the sound of approaching footsteps, in the candlelight, the young man's slightly raised Danfeng eyes were gradually reflected, and the silver broken hair on his forehead was glowing with a soft light.

“..... Happy eighteenth birthday. ”

In the dark, the boy walked over with a cake in his hand.

Gu Huai subconsciously took a step back, almost instinctively resisting.

But seeing the young man slowly passing in front of him, he just glanced at him with his peripheral vision, and quickly walked to the girl standing in the courtyard.

I don't know if it's Gu Huai's illusion.

He heard the boy's low chuckle that seemed to be narrow, and like a cold sneer.

The footsteps were far away.

Xie Jinyan's unique and lazy voice sounded in the courtyard:

"Gu Qiao, happy eighteenth birthday."

Gu Huai was slightly stunned, the hand holding the cake subconsciously turned his back behind him, and slowly turned his head to look at the two people in the courtyard.

"Me?"

The girl's calm eyebrows and eyes were full of undisguised surprise at the moment.

"Well, it's you."

Xie Jinyan's Danfeng eyes narrowed slightly, and the usual casual smile on his face was put away, with a bit of sincerity:

"Make a wish, Gu Qiao."

Most of the candles on the cake were burned, showing a bit of mutilation.

The girl did not blow out the candles for a long time, nor did she show any emotion.

"Are you still angry with me, it wasn't my intention to leave you before, I apologize to you....."

The boy's voice was low.

"Thank you for your ......"

Gu Qiao slowly frowned.

What is he doing, what is the trouble?
