No way.
Is this princess planning to assault him in the middle of the night?
Could it be that he was moved by what happened during the day and wanted to repay her with his body, but couldn't bring himself to say it, so he used such a subtle yet direct way of expressing it?
Gu Mu was about to reach out from under the covers, grab Shen Ling's hand, and pull her onto the bed—after all, how could he let a girl take the initiative?
Fortunately, Gu Mu calmed down in time.
This possibility is absolutely impossible.
Shen Ling came to his room with another purpose.
Sure enough, although Shen Ling reached towards his bed, she deliberately avoided Gu Mu.
She carefully checked under Gu Mu's bed and under his pillow to see if anything might be hidden there.
Upon discovering that there was nothing there, she stood by the bedside, scrutinizing Gu Mu for a while with a puzzled look.
His eyes were filled with confusion.
If it wasn't hidden under the bed... it might be hidden somewhere else.
After all, if a person suddenly changes drastically, he must be hiding some secret. This secret might be found in his room, which is why Shen Ling sneaked into Gu Mu's room in the middle of the night.
She wanted to find out the secret behind Gu Mu's sudden change.
Of course—she wouldn't think for the time being that a different soul was inside Gu Mu's body.
After all, this is too outrageous.
At least she was reborn; her soul was still inside the shell, with just an extra experience.
How could she have imagined so quickly that there was a completely different person inside Gu Mu's body?
Therefore, she would first think that Gu Mu's sudden change must be due to other secrets, and since there are no secrets that cannot be kept forever, she might be able to find such a secret.
Shen Ling left Gu Mu's bedside and began to rummage through the clothes hanging beside him.
After all, people usually carry their most important belongings with them at all times.
If hidden in a room, it might be discovered by the cleaning maid; if placed in a locked box, it might be stolen by some unscrupulous servants.
Of course, it's not entirely impossible.
But things also need to be done in a certain order.
Shen Ling searched Gu Mu's clothes thoroughly, inside and out, but still found nothing.
After all, Gu Mu was a modern person who had transmigrated, and he didn't have the ancient custom of putting things in his sleeves.
He always carries a bodyguard with him. Why bother carrying things himself? Wouldn't it be better to just put them on the bodyguard?
Shen Ling sighed softly, perhaps not expecting Gu Mu's secret to be so hard to find.
But since she's already here... she certainly won't just leave so easily.
She started rummaging through drawers and cabinets.
It's clear that Shen Ling's lightness skill has improved somewhat recently.
She moved very carefully and made no sound.
It seems she learned from her previous experience of being discovered by Gu Mu when she entered his room.
I specifically practiced some light-footed skills... and the ability to turn things over without making a sound.
...
After half an incense stick,
Shen Ling sighed softly again.
Still, nothing was gained.
There wasn't even a locked box in sight.
...After all, fingerprint locks were already common in Gu Mu's time. He was too lazy to even enter a password on his phone and would just use his fingerprint or face recognition.
Let him use this kind of small box where the key might be lost at any time, and then the only way to get it is to pick the lock... That's not going to happen.
After all, Gu Mu has a system inventory.
There is no limit to the number of items the system can store, but there are also ten slots available for storing real-world items.
It's obviously safer to put important items in the system inventory.
For example, Gu Mu always kept the Tiger Tally in his system inventory.
So... there wasn't even a locked box in Gu Mu's room.
Instead of the trouble of finding a locked box and taking it away, having someone pick the lock, and then finding nothing, Shen Ling simply pulled out a lock.
Gu Mu felt that he couldn't possibly be a villain.
He's such a kind person.
The princess came directly to his house and searched everywhere, but he was afraid of disturbing her, so he pretended to be asleep.
He even felt considerate for saving the princess trouble.
...Of course, this is all because the princess is beautiful.
Gu Mu could tolerate even the slightest, harmless behavior.
Sometimes, he also needs to carry out villain missions to obtain system rewards. These villain missions are basically all aimed at the princess.
Although he was able to avoid the clichés of female-oriented novels in time this time, turning danger into safety and subverting the clichés.
However, he can not spot and avoid all the clichés in female-oriented novels in time.
At this point, increase your favorability rating more.
If you lose goodwill in the future, it won't bounce back from rock bottom.
Gu Mu, that clever little devil, was calculating everything perfectly, and even thought of himself as a great philanthropist, so he continued to lie in bed pretending to be asleep.
On the other side,
After searching high and low without finding anything, Shen Ling...
One possibility came to mind: there might be a secret room inside the room.
Compared to a locked box, a secret room is obviously safer. For example, the evil and bloody parchment that Shen Ling obtained after her rebirth was stained with blood on its surface, which was enough to make one's heart tremble at first glance.
Such an evil thing couldn't be easily carried around, so Shenling was hidden in a secret room.
The secret room is safe, as no one else in the world knows about it except her.
...There must be a secret room.
However, the secret room is the hardest to find, and Shen Ling listed it as the last place to search.
Based on Shen Ling's past experience, the entrance to a secret room... is usually related to a bed.
However, Gu Mu was sleeping in the bed.
