Deep Fog Kiss

The moment the door opened, the joy that had just risen in Jiang Li's tearful eyes vanished in an instant, replaced by a slight surprise.

"You... what brings you here?"

"Sister Pear!"

Gu Rou stood at the door, a look of surprise on her delicate face. "You cried?"

Jiang Li lived in the Gu family for eight years; they practically grew up together.

Gu Rou rarely saw Jiang Li cry, not even when she was being scolded or wronged.

This must have been the first time she had seen Jiang Li with tears streaming down her face, her eyes glistening with tears, looking somewhat broken.

Jiang Li quickly lowered her head to wipe away her tears, and when she looked at Gu Rou, she couldn't help but glance behind her a couple more times.

I didn't see that familiar figure in the villa.

Gu Zhishen did not come.

Jiang Li couldn't help but laugh at herself when her hidden expectations were dashed.

How could someone as proud as Gu Zhishen possibly remember that she was afraid of thunderstorms, let alone lower himself to come and keep her company?

"Sister Pear, what are you looking at?"

Gu Rou followed her gaze and glanced behind her; the huge villa was completely empty.

Bringing her thoughts back, Jiang Li shook her head, "It's nothing."

When she spoke again, her previously trembling voice was calmer, "Why did you come here at this time?"

"I'll come keep you company."

Gu Rou was direct. She went into the room, closed the door, and pulled her into the room.

"Come with me?" Jiang Li asked, slightly puzzled.

"Yes." Gu Rou pointed to the window, which was completely covered by curtains, "It's raining heavily today, and there's going to be thunder. I thought you might be scared, so I came to find you."

Jiang Li looked at her delicate and innocent face, "You know I'm afraid of thunder?"

"Yeah!" Gu Rou thought for two seconds, then nodded emphatically. "You said that."

After saying that, she rolled her dark eyes and added, "You mentioned it casually when we were little, and I remembered it."

Jiang Li frowned slightly. Having lived in the Gu family for many years, she had never mentioned it to anyone else.

She thought that the only person who knew she was afraid of thunder was Gu Zhishen.

"Thank you."

She looked up, a smile playing in her eyes.

"Sister Pear, why are you being so polite with me?"

Gu Rou looked at her delicate face, where dried tear stains clung, and her temples still bore traces of moisture.

"Sister Pear, go wash your face first. I heard it's going to rain all night, so I'll stay here with you tonight and make sure you're not afraid of the thunder."

Jiang Li smiled faintly and walked towards the washroom.

She suddenly stopped and turned to ask, "Gu Rou."

"Um?"

How did you know I lived here?

Gu Rou blinked her big eyes. "I guessed. Didn't you move here with your uncle a couple of years ago? He said this is your home."

"I was thinking that since you just returned to China and haven't gone back to the old house yet, you might be staying here."

"But the house your uncle picked out for you is really nice, the river view is beautiful."

She then joked, "Sister Li, we're both Uncle's nieces, so why does he treat you better than he treats me?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li's fingertips trembled.

This villa hardly deserves to be called her home.

It was merely a forbidden place where they spent those two years of pleasure.

"But it's understandable," Gu Rou said with a smile. "You grew up with your uncle, so it's only natural that he'd treat you well."

Jiang Li didn't say anything, just smiled gently and went into the bathroom.

Hearing the sound of rushing water coming from inside, Gu Rou sat on the sofa and quickly took out her phone, starting to type rapidly into the chat box.

[Uncle, mission accomplished! Late-night help gets double the reward!]

The message read: "[Jiang Li is afraid of thunder, go keep her company for the night. Beishan Villa, you've been there before.]"

Soon, the other party replied with a message, which was a performance invitation.

Gu Rou's eyes widened in surprise, as if she had found a treasure.

The private banquet hosted by a prestigious family invited internationally renowned violin prodigy Nishida Tsuya. The invitation was precious and rare, not to mention the VIP seat.

Nishida Itsuki is also her idol, and this reward is enough for her to do anything for Pear Sister tonight!

She excitedly tapped the screen: 【Received! Thank you, Uncle! Long live Uncle!】

......

As Jiang Li emerged from the washroom, she heard soft music. The violin music was like flowing water under the moonlight, slow and tranquil, bringing a sense of peace to her heart.

The air was filled with a faint orange scent, her usual favorite aromatherapy fragrance.

Beside the bed, Gu Rou had already changed into a clean set of pajamas and tidied up the messy blankets.

Seeing her come out, she smiled and said, "Sister Li, I heard that music combined with aromatherapy can dispel fear and relax the mind and body. Do you feel better now? Are you less scared?"

As the thunder outside the window subsided, and with someone in the room keeping her company and distracting her, Jiang Li did feel less scared than before.

"Much better."

She smiled and looked at the pajamas she was wearing. "I was worried you wouldn't be able to find pajamas, so I was thinking of getting you a set later."

"I know where it is." Gu Rou patted the bed, her eyes crinkling with a smile. "Come on over, it's been so many years since we slept together."

The two slept together a few times when they were little. Later, her mother always reminded her to stay away from Jiang Li, and gradually, she stopped daring to sleep with Sister Li.

Jiang Li got into bed and asked, "Do you know the location?"

She remembered that during those two years, Gu Rou would occasionally come to visit her when she was on vacation, but she would never stay overnight.

Because her evenings belong to Gu Zhishen.

To be precise, Gu Zhishen's evenings were occupied by her.

Gu Rou pulled her arm, "I've slept in your room!"

"When?"

"After you went abroad," Gu Rou turned to look at her, "I got scolded by my mom that time, so I ran away from home and came here. But before I even stayed overnight, my uncle sent me back."

She spoke with a hint of grievance, "I don't know what treasure he has here, but he heartlessly had me sent away when his own niece was homeless!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li suddenly remembered something.

Gu Zhishen said that other women had slept in her bed.

Could it be Gu Rou?

She even asked him, emboldened by alcohol, if he had slept with that woman.

If it really is Gu Rou...

She couldn't help but slap her forehead, wondering why she had asked that question.

"By the way, Sister Pear."

Gu Rou pulled the blanket up and suddenly asked her, "Why did you suddenly decide to go abroad in the first place?"
