Chapter 846: Lurking Forces (V)

Gu Nianzhi frowned the entire way. She couldn't stop thinking about Gu Yanran.

Huo Shaoheng loosely held his arm around her as they turned the corner on the path in front of the professor's building. He only put down his arm when he confirmed that He Zhichu couldn't see them anymore.

Putting both hands in his trouser pockets, his footsteps slowed down to match Gu Nianzhi's pace.

Gu Nianzhi didn't feel anything at all. She moved her feet almost robotically as she followed Huo Shaoheng back to the female graduate student dorm that she lived in.

"We're here. I'll walk you upstairs." Huo Shaoheng took her hand. "It's already late. Should your Resident Advisor be asleep by now?"

"You shouldn't go upstairs even if she is asleep already." Gu Nianzhi discreetly pulled her hand away. "I'm very sleepy and want to go to bed. You should go home too. So many things happened today and we still need to go to court tomorrow."
