Chapter 427: Really Busy

Xu Ji's deep gaze fixed on Gu Xi's eyes.

But it was only for a moment before he lowered his gaze, letting his eyes fall on Gu Xi's stiff fingertips.

Gu Xi subconsciously retracted her hand.

Xu Ji still held her fingers without moving.

They remained in this impasse for several seconds until Xu Ji finally spoke, asking,

"Awake?"

Perhaps from just having slept, his voice was slightly hoarse.

In the quiet space, it was particularly enticing.

Gu Xi's heartbeat sped up again.

She withdrew her fingertips from his hand in a bit of a fluster and let out a soft "Mhm."

Xu Ji glanced at the time on his wristwatch, 11 P.M.

"Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Xu Ji asked.

Gu Xi shook her head.

Just as she was about to say no, her stomach growled.

Embarrassed, her face turned red in an instant.

Her fingertips clutched at the corner of the blanket, wanting to hide within it.
