Chapter 14
When Du Jiajia returned home, she collapsed on the sofa as soon as she entered the door. Lin An looked at her and said calmly, "Try not to come here in the future."
Du Jiajia sat up and asked, "Why, Sister An?"
Feifei took over and said with a smile: "Have you forgotten how scared you were just now?"
Du Jiajia lowered her eyes, "I haven't forgotten, but I'm still afraid."
After she finished speaking, she seemed to have suddenly become a different person. When she looked up at Feifei, her tone had turned cold: "So what if I'm scared? Why don't you let me follow?"
Feifei: "Little girl, why are you so anxious?"
Du Jiajia: "You guys want to dump me, why don't you give me a break?" She turned back and looked at Lin An angrily. Lin An's expression remained unchanged. She snorted and continued: "Otherwise I'll come. I won't come again in the future. Who cares?"
Du Jiajia slammed the door and left angrily. Gu Yuan turned to look at Lin An: "Why?"
Lin An said calmly, "There must be a reason for letting her go."
Gu Yuan: "Can't you tell me this?"
Feifei sighed, her eyes shifting between the two of them. She finished Lin An's unspoken words, "Someone is targeting us."
Gu Yuan: "Who is it?"
Feifei shook her head and said, "I just don't know who is the dangerous person, but I know that the magic weapon in that girl's hand is the same person who helped the female ghost build the world."
"Sir, this is to prevent Du Jiajia from falling into danger. She has no ability to protect herself. If she is targeted by those in the dark, it will be troublesome."
"Gu Yuan, no one can guarantee that everything will be safe. You can't blame the adults."
Gu Yuan looked at Lin An, his tone apologetic: "I'm sorry, Sister An."
Lin An didn't say much, but just said lightly: "Go back and rest, you must be tired."
After Gu Yuan walked back to the room, Feifei looked at Lin An and asked doubtfully, "There's no need to hide this from her. Why doesn't the master want to tell her?"
Lin An did not answer immediately, but just looked quietly in the direction of Gu Yuan's room. After a moment, he picked up the kettle on the table and poured himself a glass of water.
Seeing this, Feifei stopped asking questions and quietly sat back on the sofa. She waited until Lin An finished drinking the water and gently placed the cup back on the table before she spoke, "It will be quiet for a while. Continue teaching her."
Feifei nodded: "Okay."
As expected, the next period of time was very peaceful, very peaceful.
Feifei taught Gu Yuan step by step, but she became increasingly restless. Gu Yuan's talent was simply too amazing. He learned everything so quickly, and his progress was faster than she could have imagined.
This made Feifei feel a little frightened, and she couldn't help but worry about the future.
She didn't even dare to think about what to do next. How the situation would develop.
She told the adults about this, but Lin An didn't care at all. She still had no defenses against Gu Yuan, which made Feifei even more worried.
She had an inexplicable feeling that both of them seemed to be hiding something from her, but it was just her hunch and she could not find any trace of it.
They live together, so everything is common. What could happen? Maybe it's just her illusion.
Seventy-third day after Du Jiajia left, she came back again, and this time Du Jiajia's mother came with her.
Feifei was cleaning in the kitchen, while Gu Yuan and Lin An were talking to Du Jiajia's mother in the kitchen.
Feifei was cleaning up in the kitchen, while Gu Yuan and Lin An were talking to Du Jiajia's mother.
Gu Yuan spoke first, in a gentle tone: "Auntie, do you have something to tell us this time?"
Du Jiajia's mother nodded and looked at her: "Yuanyuan, this is the case. I want Jiajia to live in your house temporarily."
Gu Yuan: "Ah? Why so sudden? Did something happen at home?"
"No, no, what could possibly happen? Even if there is, it's a good thing." Du Jiajia's mother smiled and waved her hand, then continued to explain, "You know, Jiajia's grades have never been very good before. She was ranked at the bottom of her grade."
"But recently, she's been in the top 100 in her grade in several exams, and her grades are getting better and better. I asked her how she improved so quickly, and she said it was all because of your influence that she was able to learn well."
"She's showing improvement in her studies, and that's mostly thanks to you. Even burning incense can't do it as well as you do. That's why I wanted to let her live here."
Lin An: "Auntie, we don't have any vacant rooms at the moment."
"I know this, that's why I came to ask Gu Yuan for help." Du Jiajia's mother said, turning her eyes to Gu Yuan, her tone pleading, "Can you and Jiajia share a bed? I just saw that your beds are quite spacious."
Seeing that neither of them spoke, she hurriedly added: "Don't worry, Auntie won't let Jiajia stay here for free. I will pay for the accommodation."
"Auntie, this is really not about money." Gu Yuan waved his hands quickly, his tone a little embarrassed.
At this moment, Lin An suddenly said, "Auntie, since Jiajia is willing to come, let her stay."
Du Jiajia's mother immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Good children, thank you so much."
She turned around and patted Du Jiajia beside her, saying with a hint of anger: "Look, you were worried about this and that before, but now everyone agrees, right?"
"I'll go down and get the gifts, you guys can chat."
Feifei immediately asked through the voice transmitter, "Sir, why did you suddenly agree?"
Lin An didn't look back at her, but responded calmly in his heart: "We all have to leave eventually, and she needs someone to accompany her."
After hearing this, Feifei smiled bitterly in her heart, and the adult's heart softened a little.
Du Jiajia sat on the sofa, still awkwardly not speaking. Gu Yuan tried to pull her hand, but she didn't move.
Gu Yuan took Du Jiajia's hand and shook it gently, his tone softening: "Are you still angry?"
Du Jiajia turned her face away without saying anything, and Gu Yuan quickly explained: "Sister An didn't let you stay before because she was worried that you would be unsafe. Someone was targeting us, and she was doing this for your own good."
Du Jiajia moved and looked at Lin An. Gu Yuan said silently, "Please, please." Lin An nodded.
Du Jiajia's expression relaxed a little. She hugged Gu Yuan and said with a bit of grievance in her voice: "If I don't come to find you, will you really not look for me?"
She continued in an even more muffled voice, "You know, I hang around your neighborhood every day, just because I'm worried something might happen to you."
Gu Yuan patted her back and kept apologizing, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I should have remembered to tell you."
"What's so important on your mind that you've forgotten me? Tell me, tell me."
Gu Yuan paused for a moment, then quickly changed the subject with a smile: "I've been learning a lot lately, and I'm really busy. I'm really sorry."
Feifei came out of the kitchen carrying some cut fruit and said lazily, "What could possibly happen to us? You're always hanging around outside the complex. Aren't you afraid that monster from before will show up again?"
This time, Du Jiajia wasn't as scared of Feifei as before. She snorted and said, "I didn't think about it when I was angry. Besides, you chased that monster away a long time ago. Don't try to scare me with this."
Feifei: "I haven't seen you for a while. You've become braver."
Du Jiajia: "Yes."
There was another knock on the door. Feifei went to open it and saw Du Jiajia's mother standing outside, panting.
"Aunt."
"Your floor is... a bit high." Du Jiajia's mother said, and was about to walk in with the suitcase in hand. Feifei hurried forward to take it: "Let me do it."
The suitcase was obviously heavy in Du Jiajia's mother's hands, but it seemed very light in Feifei's hands.
Du Jiajia's mother: "You are so strong, child."
After entering the house, she turned to Du Jiajia and said, "Then you will start living here tonight." Then she took out an envelope and handed it to Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan quickly pushed it back and waved his hand, saying, "Auntie, this won't do."
"We agreed that she can't stay here for free."
"Auntie, I really can't accept this money."
Du Jiajia's mother glanced at Feifei standing beside her, and simply stuffed the envelope into her hand, turned around and walked out quickly.
Feifei was stunned. It was the first time she had encountered such a thing. Gu Yuan said, "Jia Jia, call your mother back quickly."
Du Jiajia looked at Feifei's dazed expression and couldn't help laughing. She reached out and took the envelope from her hand: "What's the name? We can use this money to buy snacks."
Gu Yuan: "Jia Jia!"
"It's okay." Du Jiajia opened the envelope and counted the money. As she counted, she said, "It's really okay. Compared to the tuition fees I used to pay, this is a lot less. My mom must be so happy."
Feifei calmed down, looked at Du Jiajia's money-obsessed look, and said jokingly, "Isn't this what they say, 'You can't guard against a thief in your own house, no matter how hard you try.'"
Du Jiajia snorted at Feifei and said, "Whatever you say, I'm not angry. I have money and can buy lots of snacks." She waved the money in front of Feifei.
Lin An looked at them, a faint smile appeared on his face, then turned to look out the window.
