Chapter 923: It Was Too Much for Her to Handle

The young man’s eyes were filled with a reckless desire, and the corners of his lips curled into a charming smile like a spring breeze, a seductive smile that was sure to captivate thousands of girls.

Duoduo, squatting beside him, turned to stare at the protagonist’s brilliant smile and tilted its head in a cute and silly manner.

It seemed to be quite puzzled about why its master was so happy.

Duoduo took its confident yet graceful steps and squatted down at An Mingji’s feet.

"Howl howl——"

An Mingji joyfully hugged Duoduo’s head, lying down on its tall body, laughing even more heartily.

"Howl howl howl——" Duoduo’s azure eyes were full of confusion.

If it could speak, it would definitely complain, perhaps the master had taken some excitement pills. In all these years, it had never seen the master smile so brightly and happily.

Duoduo bore the weight of its master, its tail rhythmically slapping against the plush blanket spread on the floor.

...

Gu Jin returned to her room, closed the door, and slammed hard onto it.

She covered her face with her hands, emitting a conflicted and anxious sound.

"Ah ah ah——"

Her voice was so low, even if someone were pressing against the door, they probably wouldn’t hear it.

Why did she have such expectations?

Why did she expect something like that from Xiao An, Gu Jin’s hand trembled slightly.

She couldn’t understand it at all.

Could it be that she... lacked a man so much that she had bad fantasies about Xiao An?

It shouldn’t be like this.

In her previous life, besides the useless Liu Bochang, she hadn’t been living with a pure heart and few desires for over twenty years.

How could she suddenly be longing for a man?

In this rebirth, she sincerely kept men at a respectful distance and hadn’t planned to find a man to live with.

Xiao An, Xiao An...

Gu Jin gently tugged her long hair with both hands, her head almost exploding, as the calm sea of her heart was stirred.

Suddenly, she stopped tearing at her hair, thinking of another possibility.

Could it be due to hormonal influences, the effects of male and female hormones?

Was everything caused by those damned external factors?

Thinking of this possibility, Gu Jin’s heart calmed slightly, though the other truth she dared not touch was something she couldn’t bear to think about.

That was too stimulating for her.

After stopping her self-torment, Gu Jin thought of another important matter.

Just now, Xiao An didn’t notice her abnormality, right? Hopefully not? Hopefully not?

She hadn’t said anything, and they hadn’t done anything inappropriate, so he shouldn’t have noticed anything, right?

Normally carefree Gu Jin now wished there was a hole she could crawl into.

Xiao An is so smart, her behavior was obviously odd just now, how could there not be something wrong!

Gu Jin, moving clumsily, walked dazedly toward the bed inside her room.

She collapsed onto the bed, rolled over lightly, and hid herself with the blanket.

How embarrassing!

...

The next day.

Early in the morning, Gu Jin, with eyes that could rival a panda’s, came to the dining room.

Despite all her mental self-comforting, she still suffered from insomnia.

This morning, she only dared to come out for food after hearing An Mingji leave for school.

"Miss Gu, you’re awake. What would you like to eat?"

Kasi was clearing the tableware after the Young Master’s meal and immediately greeted Gu Jin when she walked into the dining room.

"Just bring out whatever there is, I’ll just nibble on something."

She actually didn’t want to eat anything, but her stomach protested with an empty fortress strategy.

Kasi wiped his wet hands with a smile and replied, "There are fried eggs, ham, milk, and bread."

"Alright, bring them out."

Gu Jin plopped down unceremoniously at the dining table, lying across it with a face full of defeat.
