Nightmare? Maybe it was considered a nightmare to her in the past. But now, she was the nightmare for others.
Gu Mang looked down, sat up expressionlessly, her feet on the carpet as she ran her fingers through her hair.
After a few seconds, she said, "I’m sleepy."
Her voice was soft and raspy.
The frostiness in her eyes was hidden away behind her eyelids and what was left was only an aloof pretty face.
Lu Chengzhou hadn’t seen this side of Gu Mang before. She seemed to be in a place of darkness, resisting all light as she exuded a dark aura.
There was a bloodthirstiness raging in her body.
He looked at her and said softly, "Go and eat first and then sleep afterward."
His voice was gentle and pleasant. Gu Mang glanced at him and grunted softly in assent.
He pulled her to her feet and they walked towards the dining room.
Seeing their hands together, she pursed her lips. "Lu Chengzhou, actually..."
"Actually, you don’t have to say anything if you don’t want to." Lu Chengzhou interrupted her. "Eat your meal first."
He wasn’t surprised by the sudden change in her mood.
He took her to the kitchen sink and gestured with his chin. "Wash your hands."
Gu Mang was silent for a moment before mumbling, "Okay."
She opened the tap and rinsed her hands. She watched as Lu Chengzhou walked to the front of the small pot to serve congee for the two of them.
After washing her hands, Gu Mang sat at the dining table, propped up her chin, and turned to look at him in the kitchen.
After a while, Lu Chengzhou went to sit across from her after serving the two bowls of congee. "Eat up."
"Okay." She drawled her reply in her usual languid manner. Her left hand supported her face as she picked up the spoon slowly.
