When Gu Tong heard Si Yi Chen's words, she raised her head and looked outside the window. It was no longer broad daylight. It was pitch black outside.

It was dark outside and I had no money. Where could I go after I left this place?

Gu Tong sorrowfully analyzed her situation.

Another night in a park?

No!

As soon as this hypothetical possibility appeared in her mind, Gu Tong rejected it excitedly.

Afterwards, she thought of a few more possibilities, only to discover that none of them were good enough to stay with Si Yicheng.

Although she had never been here before, she still felt an indescribable sense of peace and stability here.

"Since... "In that case, I'll stay and work to pay the rent …"

Gu Tong lowered her voice and awkwardly agreed. She didn't want Si Yicheng to see through her thoughts.

It seemed as if Si Yicheng didn't notice anything amiss with her. After obtaining her consent, he straightforwardly left the room. He even warned Gu Tong to rest well at night and stay in this room from now on.

As soon as Si Yichen left, Gu Tong fell backwards and laid on the bed once more.

She wanted to analyze her current situation and figure out what she should do. Although she temporarily had a place to settle down, she didn't think that Si Yichen would be a place she could stay for the long term.

However, she didn't expect that just as her body touched the soft bed, a strong feeling of sleepiness immediately swept over her.

"Calculate..." Forget it … "Let's sleep today. If there's anything, we can talk about it tomorrow …"

Gu Tong mumbled to herself before slowly turning around. She found a comfortable position and quickly fell asleep again.

The next day.

The biological clock in her head woke Gu Tong up from her dream. She narrowed her eyes and walked towards the washroom. She wanted to pack up and go to class.

However, after she had groped around for a while, she still couldn't find the washroom. Instead, she crashed into a wall.

"Ouch!"

Covering her painful forehead, Gu Tong cried out in pain. Her small face was twisted by the pain.

"Since when was there a wall?" Gu Tong mumbled to herself as she opened her sleepy eyes, trying to see what was going on in front of her.

"This is …"

Looking at the unfamiliar environment in front of her, Gu Tong, whose mind had not fully awakened, suddenly felt extremely shocked and confused.

However, after staring blankly for a few seconds, memories that Gu Tong had carelessly forgotten began to surface bit by bit …

She slowly recalled what happened to her at school yesterday, what happened between her and Gu Yangyi, as well as that hoodlum she met afterwards. When she woke up, she saw the scene of Si Yicheng …

"This is his house."

Thinking of this, Gu Tong explained in a low voice before carefully observing the room.

Last night, she had been completely focused on herself and Si Yi Chen. She hadn't even glanced at this room yet.

Gu Tong took small steps as she slowly walked around the room.

"Although this room isn't very ornate, it feels very comfortable and warm just by looking at it."

Looking at the simple and exquisite design of the room, Gu Tong softly sighed with emotion. At the same time, her impression of Si Yi Chen had slightly changed. She discovered that this man wasn't as cold as she had seen him.

After a simple survey of the room, Gu Tong finally found the washroom and quickly cleaned herself up.

Although many unpleasant things had happened, she hadn't forgotten her identity as a student, nor had she forgotten that she was going to school today.

"After one night, they... It should be calmer now. "

Looking at her reflection in the mirror, Gu Tong subconsciously mumbled to herself.

Then, she nodded at herself in the mirror, "It's not like I did something unforgivable. They won't keep sticking to me. I'll go today and everything will be fine."

Gu Tong encouraged herself by speeding up her actions.

She usually did things in a slow and leisurely manner. Today, she had increased her speed partly because she was at the Si Family today, but not only was she not familiar with this place, but the distance between her school and the school had also changed accordingly. Therefore, she wanted to leave early so that she could better understand the situation nearby and avoid being late for class.

It was also partly because she had just finished cheering herself up and was now full of courage. She had to seize this opportunity to quickly go to school, otherwise she would be done for.

Thinking about how she was targeted by the crowd yesterday, Gu Tong still had some lingering fears.

After he increased his speed, Gu Tong finished tidying herself up in less than ten minutes and walked out of the room to the main hall.

"Where to?"

Gu Tong hadn't even opened her mouth to greet Si Yicheng when he took the initiative to turn around and ask her about her situation.

"Ugh …" "About that, I'm going to school to do some cleaning …"

"I've applied for leave for you."

Before Gu Tong had finished speaking, Si Yichen had arrogantly informed her of this matter.

"What?" Gu Tong cried out in alarm and strode across the hall towards Si Yi Chen. She asked with dissatisfaction and confusion, "Why did you ask for a leave of absence for me? When did I let you take the leave of absence? "

"I'd love to."

Si Yi Chen arrogantly replied before ignoring Gu Tong and turning around to continue eating his breakfast.

"You … "You …"

Gu Tong pointed at Si Yicheng in anger as she panted heavily. She was simply about to explode from his attitude and actions.

However, Si Yichen did not take Gu Tong's anger seriously at all. While they were leisurely eating breakfast, he calmly invited Gu Tong out as if nothing had happened, "Sit down and eat breakfast."

"I'm not eating. I'm going to class."

Gu Tong announced loudly. Then, she turned around and strode towards the main entrance.

"You're not allowed to go."

Si Yicheng's voice suddenly became icy cold and forceful.

However, Gu Tong was so angry that she ignored him and continued to walk towards the main door without looking back.

"Sis Yang, close the door."

Si Yicheng suddenly stood up and loudly ordered the main door.

After that, a middle-aged woman came out of nowhere and quickly closed the door in front of Gu Tong.

When Gu Tong wanted to stop her and have her open the door, she acted as if she had just appeared and disappeared in a flash. Once again, the only ones left were Gu Tong and Si Yichen.
