Bai Qianmo lay in bed, her eyes drowsy, but her mind was unusually clear.

Various images kept flashing through my mind.

It seems like he can't stop thinking about one person.

Bai Qianmo placed her hand on her heart and felt that her heart was beating much faster than usual.

This feeling was both strange and familiar.

It was as if she had experienced it in a dream.

I closed my eyes, rubbed my temples, and suppressed the unfamiliar emotions surging within me.

He picked up his phone and sent a message to Xu Hualan.

Before leaving home today, both the old man and Xu Hualan had already rested.

If he finds her not in her room first thing tomorrow morning, the old man will definitely be very worried about her. After thinking it over, he thinks it would be better to explain to Xu Hualan first.

After sending the message, Bai Qianmo pulled the blanket over her head, forcing herself to fall asleep quickly.

Just as I closed my eyes, there was a soft knock on the door.

Bai Qianmo sat up abruptly from the bed.

Are you asleep?

Hearing Gu Jueye's deep voice, Bai Qianmo comforted herself, thinking that it didn't matter even if she saw his whole body, after all, she was an adult.

He didn't seem to care much, did he?

Pretending not to care is better for both of us.

With that thought in mind, Bai Qianmo got out of bed briskly, put on her slippers, and scurried to the door.

When the door opened, Gu Jueye was standing outside holding a quilt.

"It's cold, so I brought you a light blanket." Gu Jueye's deep gaze fell on her face.

Bai Qianmo suppressed her wildly beating heart and casually reached out to take the blanket: "Thank you. Aren't you going to sleep?"

"It's time to go to sleep."

He said he was going to sleep, but his body betrayed him by standing still in the same spot.

Bai Qianmo forced a smile and tilted her head to look at him: "Is there anything else?"

Gu Jueye blinked slightly and chuckled softly, "Would you like to grab something to eat together?"

Bai Qianmo frowned slightly: "?"

She really doesn't want to see him right now!

She felt as if her heart was beating faster than she could control.

This man is truly toxic!

Gu Jueye was unaware of Bai Qianmo's thoughts; at that moment, he was genuinely hungry.

"I've been so busy today, I haven't eaten all day, and I'm a little hungry."

Bai Qianmo tapped her forehead. He had rushed to Pingshan early this morning and happened to stumble upon her being kidnapped.

After that, I brought her back and then took her to TJ Bar. I've been busy ever since, so I haven't had time to eat.

With a hint of guilt, Bai Qianmo looked up at the man in front of her: "It seems there's only instant noodles left in the kitchen."

"I'm not a picky eater!"

Bai Qianmo smiled faintly, thinking that he seemed easy to take care of.

"You rest, I'll go cook noodles."

Bai Qianmo hurriedly went to the kitchen, turned on the stove to boil water, and then put both buckets of instant noodles into the pot.

In fact, she only ate breakfast, and she had no appetite at all during the family banquet with the Bai family in the afternoon.

Gu Jueye leaned lazily against the dining table, his deep eyes gently fixed on the busy figure in the kitchen.

Bai Qianmo focused all her attention on the pot of noodles. She knew that her cooking was hard to swallow, and the only dish she could make was the braised beef.

She volunteered to cook, and even though it was just simple tasks like pouring water, boiling water, adding noodles and seasonings, she did it with extra care.

Once she was sure the noodles were cooked, Bai Qianmo scooped them into two bowls and carefully placed them on the dining table.

"Try it."

Gu Jueye glanced at the two bowls of instant noodles; judging from their color, they should be cooked.

He then sat down, picked up his chopsticks, and took a bite.

I was secretly relieved that we only had instant noodles at home, and with such a simple procedure, the little girl didn't make any mistakes.

Otherwise, his stomach might not be able to handle it.

"How was it?" Bai Qianmo sat opposite him, staring at him expectantly.

"very nice!"

Perhaps I was hungry, because the noodles did taste pretty good.

Seeing that Gu Jueye was eating slowly and deliberately, without showing any strange expression.

Bai Qianmo felt a huge weight lifted from her heart, picked up her chopsticks, and took a bite herself.

The two of them ate slowly and leisurely, which was quite pleasant.

Bai Qianmo suddenly remembered something and glanced at Gu Jueye.

"Actually, there's something I've wanted to ask you for a long time."

Gu Jueye's eyes flickered slightly. He put down his chopsticks, took out a tissue, and elegantly wiped the corner of his mouth.

"Go ahead and ask."

Do we really know each other at JQ?

In her memory, she only knew that Gu Jueye was very famous in JQ, but the two of them had never really had any contact.

Why are you suddenly asking this?

"Just out of curiosity."

This is a problem that has been troubling her.

She studied at JQ for three years, and all her experiences are very clear to her, but she always felt that she seemed to have forgotten something.

Occasionally in her dreams, she would see the back of a man, and she would try to catch up with him, but she could never catch up.

I've had this dream many times, and almost every time I wake up startled.

Gu Jueye stared intently at Bai Qianmo for a while, his eyes like an endless abyss, unfathomable.

"I'm sorry, I can't give you a definite answer right now."

Where did she go during the year or so that she disappeared?

Why does she remember everything from the past, but lack the memories of being with him?

It was as if it had been intentionally erased.

Gu Jueye thought to himself that perhaps this matter was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. Before figuring out the truth, letting her live in this state might not be a bad thing.
