Probably because my grandma’s bloody and blurred face during the day was so scary that I even dreamed of her being beaten up.
Gu Ruojiao touched her wildly beating chest, and it took her a while to regain consciousness.
After sitting on the bed for a few minutes, she suddenly turned over and got out of bed.
System: Host, where are you going?!
Gu Ruojiao: Find Xiao Chengyu!
System: Why are you looking for Xiao Chengyu in the middle of the night?!
Gu Ruojiao gritted her teeth: I couldn't sleep, and he couldn't sleep either!
She walked on her short legs and arrived at Xiao Chengyu's yard without any hindrance.
But as soon as he entered, he was caught by the patrolling guards.
It's not that the guards don't recognize her, after all, it's the little one who visits their palace the most recently.
And the prince didn't seem to hate it, and he didn't give any orders to stop it.
But in the middle of the night...
The guard wanted the little kid to go back, but Gu Ruojiao refused to leave and called Chengde over.
Chengde: "What's going on? Are you afraid of disturbing His Highness?"
As soon as he got closer, he saw Gu Ruojiao being held up by the front by a guard, with her hands and legs flailing.
Seeing him, she immediately broke into a sweet smile.
Gu Ruojiao: "Uncle."
Chengde: "This is..."
Guard: "Back to father-in-law, this little maid said she wants to see His Highness."
Chengde was embarrassed when he heard this.
To disturb that person at this hour is because his life is too long.
Chengde: "Little boy, please come back tomorrow. His Royal Highness has already gone to bed."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chengyu's voice was heard from inside.
"Chengde."
Chengde immediately turned around and went in.
Xiao Chengyu was leaning back on the bed, with a lamp lit next to him.
Chengde: "Your Highness, can't you sleep again?"
Xiao Chengyu: "Why is it so noisy outside?"
Chengde: "Back to Your Highness, the little palace maid is here again."
Xiao Chengyu frowned slightly: "What is she here for?"
Chengde: "I want to see you, Your Highness."
Xiao Chengyu remained silent.
Upon seeing this, Chengde hurriedly said: "Old slave, let her leave now."
After saying that, he turned around and went out to chase people away.
However, as soon as he reached the door, he heard Xiao Chengyu say: "Let her come in."
Chengde paused in surprise, then hurried out.
Gu Ruojiao was brought in after a while.
"elder brother!"
She couldn't wait to run to Xiao Chengyu's bed, lying on the edge of the bed with both hands, looking at Xiao Chengyu with her little face raised.
Xiao Chengyu put down the book in his hand: "What are you doing here without sleeping in the middle of the night?"
"I miss my brother and I'm scared."
Xiao Chengyu was speechless: "What are you afraid of all day long?"
Gu Ruojiao covered her little heart.
"Having bad dreams, Jiaojiao is afraid of seeing her brother."
It took Xiao Chengyu a while to realize that the bad dream she mentioned was a nightmare.
"It's just a nightmare, it's just nothingness. What's so scary about it?" Xiao Chengyu sneered, "What you should be afraid of is people. The human heart is the most terrifying thing."
Gu Ruojiao tilted her head in confusion.
Xiao Chengyu naturally knew that this little girl couldn't understand this.
He waved to her: "Okay, you've seen me too, go back."
Gu Ruojiao refused to leave.
"Brother, Jiaojiao, let's sleep together."
As he spoke, he used his hands and feet to climb onto the bed.
However, how could she, a short person, climb up? She couldn't reach it even after kicking her feet several times, so she could only look at Xiao Chengyu for help.
Xiao Chengyu leaned forward, but instead of helping her, he looked at her condescendingly.
Half of his face was hidden in the darkness, making it difficult to see what he was thinking.
Just listen to him whisper: "Xiao Naitan, do you think I am a kind person? Will I tolerate you again and again?"
