Bab 83: The Secret Record

When Xiaozhai went into the room, Gu Yu was reading.

He bought a book on their first day in Jiang Zhou from some random shop and would read a few pages when there was nothing better to do.

"Is the book good?" She asked.

"Don’t expect too much. I only read to kill the time. It’s readable, if you ask me."

He put a marker in the book, then put it squarely on the bed stand, making sure it was not skewed to any side before asking, "Is Xiaojin asleep yet?"

"Not yet. She’s watching TV."

She sat down on a chair and said, "She’s probably exhausted after today… hm?"

"..."

They both halted, and after staying silent for a second, Gu Yu walked to the door and yanked it open.

"Ouch!"

Xiaojin, who was eavesdropping with her face flat against the door lost her balance and stumbled in, rolling and tripping. Gu Yu moved aside and the little rogue fell on her knees with a thump.
