Mu Yao guessed with a confused look on her face: "But who are you? Is there anyone else who has a grudge against Shen Yuting and the Shen family? Take the opportunity to step on him?"

"Maybe." Gu Xizhou said softly.

His eyelashes were slightly lowered, and with his eyes covered, he glanced sideways at Mu Yao beside him, his eyes dark.

How could he have such an idea?

Mu Yao's ability to obtain the contents of the project before was already very impressive.

Moreover, he had sent people to check on Mu Yao before, and she was indeed an ordinary female college student with no power or background.

To say that tampering with the IP address would prevent the police from detecting it, it was impossible for her to do this.

He really thought too much.

Perhaps it was just like what Mu Yao said, it was done by other people who hated Shen Yuting and the Shen family. After all, in the business world, where interests are the priority, it is inevitable to form enemies.

Gu Xizhou dismissed the strange thoughts in his mind and continued eating snacks.

Just when the two of them were eating snacks, drinking wine, and having fun, it suddenly started raining outside.

Looking at the increasing rain outside, Mu Yao's eyes moved to Gu Xizhou.

Gu Xizhou's hand holding the wine glass tightened slightly, and his expression was a little unnatural.

Mu Yao blinked her eyes calmly, a faint light flashed across her eyes.

Gu Xizhou put the wine glass in his hand on the table, "I'm a little tired, so I'll go up and rest first. You should go to bed early."

"Well, you go to bed first, I'll go to bed later." Mu Yao continued to sit there eating and scrolling through her phone.

Hearing the footsteps going up the stairs behind her, Mu Yao turned around slightly, looked at Gu Xizhou's hurried steps, and then looked away.

The sound of rain outside is getting louder and louder, accompanied by roaring thunder and lightning. Bursts of thunder resound across the sky, and bright lightning flashes across the sky, covering the night sky like a spider web, giving off an inexplicable feeling. Feeling of oppression.

[Xiao Shiyi, please bring up the picture of Gu Xizhou’s bedroom for me. 】

Eleven:【Okay.】

The picture showed Gu Xizhou lying on the bed, half of his face buried in the pillow, wearing earplugs and covering his ears with his hands, but it seemed that he could still hear the sound of rain and thunder outside.

His pursed lips, tense jaw and veins on his neck all revealed the pain he was feeling at this moment.

Seeing Gu Xizhou like this, Eleven's expression became more distressed, "Oh, my poor master has to suffer like this."

Gu Xizhou's father passed away on such a rainy day. On this day, Gu Xizhou simultaneously suffered the news of his father's departure and the betrayal of his friend.

Perhaps the stimulation was too great and left him with psychological trauma. From then on, whenever it rained or thundered, he would feel uncomfortable all over.

Seeing Gu Xizhou in such pain, Mu Yao also wanted to comfort him, but now was not the time, because she could not know this due to her status.

So she had to wait until Gu Xizhou revealed a flaw that would allow her to get in.

After almost five minutes, Gu Xizhou seemed to be unable to bear it any longer. He slowly moved towards the bed and stretched out his trembling hands to get the medicine from the bedside table.

That was the medicine the doctor prescribed for him to calm his nerves.

Gu Xizhou opened his eyes slightly to look, and put his big hands on the bedside table to fumble around.

Perhaps because he was feeling too uncomfortable, he accidentally knocked the cup off the table while he was fumbling around. The cup fell to the ground and shattered.

Hearing the sound, Mu Yao immediately stood up and ran upstairs in steps.

Mu Yao ran to stand in front of Gu Xizhou's door, raised her hand and knocked on the door, pretending to be confused and asked: "Gu Xizhou, has something happened?"

There was no response from the room. It wasn't that Gu Xizhou didn't want to go back, but that he was so uncomfortable and had earplugs on that he didn't hear Mu Yao's voice at all.

Seeing no response, Mu Yao pressed the door handle, opened the door and walked in, turning on the light in the bedroom.

The moment the lights turned on, the situation inside the house was clearly displayed in front of Mu Yao.

Gu Xizhou huddled up on the bed in pain, his face turned pale, and the cup fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.

Mu Yao immediately ran to the bedside, half-crouched down and looked at Gu Xizhou, raising her voice to avoid being heard.

"Gu Xizhou, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Xizhou's consciousness was blurred at this time. He put his hand on the bedside table and muttered unconsciously, "Medicine, medicine..."

"Do you want medicine? I'll get it for you." Mu Yao turned around and opened the drawer of the bedside table. There was a small brown medicine bottle on the first floor.

Mu Yao took out the medicine bottle and handed it to Gu Xizhou, "Is this it?"

Gu Xizhou's half-closed eyes opened slightly. It took a while for his blurry vision to focus. He nodded gently.

Mu Yao immediately opened the medicine bottle. The lid of the medicine bottle said one tablet at a time, so Mu Yao took out one tablet and then immediately ran downstairs to get a glass of warm water.

Then she sat on the edge of the bed, slowly helped Gu Xizhou up, and fed him the pills.

Although he took the pills, it still took time, so Gu Xizhou's brows were still furrowed.

The thunder outside the window rang several times in succession, each sound louder than the last.

Gu Xizhou was startled by the deafening thunder. His hand on the quilt suddenly clenched tightly, as if he wanted to tear the quilt to pieces.

Seeing Gu Xizhou in such distress, Mu Yao immediately raised her hands to cover his ears, then leaned over and hummed softly into his ears.

When Gu Xizhou was young, his father often sang him songs to coax him to sleep.

"My baby baby

Give you a little sweetness

Let you have a good sleep tonight

my little devil little devil

Tease your eyebrows

Make you like the whole world

..."

Mu Yao's gentle singing flowed into Gu Xizhou's ears, like a breeze blowing from a distance, blowing away the sound of rain and thunder in his ears, bringing a peaceful tranquility.

Gu Xizhou's frown slowly relaxed, and his expression was no longer as painful as it was at the beginning.

He slowly opened his eyes, as if trying to find the source of the singing, but he blinked and closed them sleepily.

Then Mu Yao kept singing until Gu Xizhou's breathing became balanced and he fell asleep completely, then she stopped singing.

After singing for so long, Mu Yao's throat was a little dry. She picked up the cup and drank all the water in it, then pulled a stool next to her and sat down.

She raised her hand to support her chin and lowered her eyes to look at Gu Xizhou who was sleeping.

Gu Xizhou, who was sleeping, was not at all like his usual playful and strategizing self. He was as well-behaved as a child in need of care.

After watching for a while, Mu Yao felt a little tired, so she lay down on the bed and closed her eyes to rest.

The next day.

Gu Xizhou slowly opened his eyes. The scene in front of him became clear from blur. He turned his head and looked outside.

The sky has cleared up and the sun is shining brightly again.
