That day in the lounge, the old man spoke harshly to her for the first time, and his tone was resolute, showing that he was determined to make her hate him rather than say another word.
The old man said it was a Pandora's box, and anyone who opened it would die.
When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you...
What exactly is that abyss?
Is it really that scary?
Ji Zhinan was lost in thought when he suddenly felt a warmth on the back of his hand.
Looking down, she saw Gu Yibei's right hand resting on the back of her hand, then he held her slightly cool hand tightly.
"I'm here, don't be afraid."
Without any exaggerated embellishment, just four very simple words, yet they immediately warmed Ji Zhinan's previously empty heart.
Yes, she is no longer alone.
Gu Yibei met her hesitant eyes and said earnestly, "With me here, you will no longer be alone. You have no home, but I will give you one. I will spoil you for the rest of my life, and you will have everything that others have."
"If you want to find them, I will help you find them at all costs."
Home……
A word that is warm enough.
Ever since she learned in her previous life that she was not a daughter of the Ji family, she had been numb and indifferent until she met Gu Yibei.
She has no home, no parents, and even her grandfather is a fake.
She felt that her life was meaningless, and the only belief that supported her after her rebirth was to make Ji Zhixia and Mu Zeyu, who had set her on fire in her previous life, pay the price.
Suddenly a man appears, takes her hand, and earnestly tells her that he is willing to give her a home...
Ji Zhinan felt as if she were in complete darkness, surrounded by endless blackness. Just when she was feeling lost and helpless, this man suddenly appeared and brought light to her path...
She stood there stunned for a long time until the sound of a horn behind her brought her back to her senses.
The light ahead had already turned green, but the cars behind were urging us on.
"Let's drive."
Ji Zhinan put the jade pendant away, and the two quickly changed the subject.
…………
Gu Yibei wasn't satisfied with just dropping Ji Zhinan off at the entrance of the residential complex, so he followed her upstairs and escorted her to the door.
Watching this man take care of her as if she were a child, not trusting her to do anything, Ji Zhinan looked at him helplessly: "I'm already at my doorstep, what else is there to worry about?"
Gu Yibei patted her head and replied patiently, "I'll leave after you go inside."
Having known him for so long, Ji Zhinan was well aware of Gu Yibei's temperament; whatever he said went.
I turned my head and slid the electronic lock, preparing to enter the password to enter the house.
However, after sliding the slider on the electronic lock several times, the lock did not light up.
"What's wrong?" Gu Yibei noticed something was amiss.
"I don't know." Ji Zhinan was still fiddling with it. "I don't know what's wrong, it just won't light up."
If the keypad doesn't light up, you can't enter the password; without the password, you can't log in.
When she realized it really didn't work, she put her index finger on the fingerprint unlock, but nothing happened.
"It seems the power is out."
After a while, Ji Zhinan finally spoke.
The advantage of electronic locks is that you don't need a key, but the disadvantage is that if the electronic lock runs out of power, you can't even get into your house.
Encountering this situation for the first time, Ji Zhinan turned her head and stared at the man expectantly: "What should we do?"
Gu Yibei carefully checked the electronic lock, then turned around, took her hand, and walked towards the elevator.
"……What's wrong?"
"Come back to Jiujinbo Palace with me. I'll have someone come and fix it tomorrow."
"..." It seems this is the only way now.
