In the deep darkness of the night, the fire continued to burn, and Anman looked at Pei Gu, who was illuminated by the firelight.

After looking her over for a while, she said, "Gugu, your face is so red."

It wasn't the redness reflected in the firelight; it was a genuine blush.

Can't she just stay silent?

Aren't you afraid that I'll mistake her for a monster?

Pei Gu took off his coat and threw it to Xiao Anman.

"Put on your clothes."

"But isn't this to secure your clothes?"

The beautiful girl's voice sounded a little muffled, as her small head was completely covered by her black coat.

It's his clothes, that's true, but don't you even look at what you're wearing right now!

Pei Gu's red ears showed no sign of fading; on the contrary, they became even redder.

"Just put it on."

"oh."

Having suddenly acquired a slender body, An'an was still a little unaccustomed to it.

The young girl with smooth, fair skin clumsily put on her clothes, and in just a few seconds, Pei felt as if each second was an eternity.

My mind was in complete turmoil, while the culprit still looked innocent and naive.

"I'm all dressed, Gugu."

Pei Gu turned his head, and the girl with long hair reaching her waist was wearing his loose black clothes, which made her slender and beautiful even more.

This guy...

Pei Gu couldn't stand looking at her disheveled collar any longer, so he went over and reached out his hand, his obsessive-compulsive disorder kicking in.

An'an tilted her head back, looking fearless, unaware of what Pei Gu was going to do next.

This guy looks so stupid and easy to fool. Even if he's a monster, he's probably a really dumb one.

Pei Gu thought to himself, and then, without touching An An's skin, he used his fingers to pull out a part of her collar and smoothed it out for her.

Because he was so close, Pei Gu could even smell An An's unique girlish fragrance. However, this fragrance was somewhat similar to the scent of the chibi version of An An, both carrying a milky smell.

"Gugu, you're so strange."

Because Pei Gu's ears were so conspicuously red, An An couldn't resist reaching out and touching Pei Gu's ears while he was fixing her clothes.

Pei Gu, who was as hot as burning charcoal, showed no trace of his usual cold-blooded killer nature.

I almost jumped up after that icy little hand touched my ear.

How could you even say Pei Gu was strange with such a serious face? An'an, you really don't have a clear understanding of yourself.

"Let go."

The burning hot ear fell into An'an's hands, and Pei Gu's voice even changed.

"Hmm, I won't let go."

After thinking for a moment, the girl An'an did not obediently let go as usual.

I always felt that pinching Pei Gu's ear was like pressing some kind of magical switch.

Pei Gu felt as if the veins on his forehead were throbbing again.

Putting aside whether he's a monster or not, this guy's mischievousness has doubled now.

With a cold face, Pei Gu pulled An An's hand away and sat back down in his original seat.

"Gugu? Gugu, are you angry?"

The girl's voice naturally carried a hint of softness, and even this ordinary question sounded like a childish, coquettish plea.

Pei Gu sat there with his back to him, trying his best to calm himself down.

I had a lot of questions I wanted to ask An'an, but now I'm completely lost.

If you don't say anything, I'll come over.

Her jade-like feet touched the ground, and her ten toes, like pearls, made a subtle sound as they stepped on the ground, which tickled the heart.

"You stay there and don't move."

Hearing the noise behind him, Pei Gu knew she wasn't joking, so he spoke up to stop her.

"Are you angry?"

Slowly retreating to her original position, An'an bent her knees and hugged them with both hands while warming herself by the fire, resting her chin on her knees and persistently asking him questions.

"No."

Getting angry isn't the right thing to do right now; Pei Gu is much better at prioritizing things than she is.

"Then why is your heart beating so fast?"

Even though they were still quite a distance apart, An'an could hear Pei Gu's heartbeat.

With his back to An'an, Pei Gu subconsciously held his breath.

"You're jumping even faster now, Gugu."

Pei Gu: ... (Today is another day of my image collapsing.)

What's wrong with you?

Since he couldn't explain it to her clearly, Pei Gu chose to quickly steer the conversation back to the main topic.

"What does it look like?"

The girl An'an obviously knew what Pei Gu was asking, but she thought Pei Gu's expression was particularly amusing, so she deliberately asked in a half-understanding manner.

What else could it be? Your mind is far too big.

"Why did you change from being a three-year-old to being like this now?"

Thinking of the girl looking at him, with her bright, sparkling eyes and delicate, charming face, Pei Gu ruthlessly extinguished his initial thought of turning around to face An An one-on-one.

In this situation, Pei Gu could be either Tang Sanzang who fell into the Spider Demon's Cave, or the Tang Monk in the Women's Kingdom who, though possessing a steadfast Buddhist heart, had already developed worldly desires.

If I had to choose one, well, the latter is more fitting.

"I don't know either."
