Lin An, Run! Gu Yue is Definitely a Deathly Yandere

Di Tian did not dodge.

The pillow slammed into his face, bounced off, and landed on the floor.

He picked up the pillow with an expressionless face, patted off the dust, and placed it back on the bed.

Gu Yue covered her face, the heat radiating from between her fingers scorching.

Yet, against her will, all sorts of unsightly images surfaced in her mind.

Her voice became stuttering and incoherent, unable to squeeze out a complete sentence for a long while.

"I am a pure-love person... how could I do such a thing..."

Di Tian watched his master in silence.

Pure love?

You are practically being cuckolded, and you still call it pure love.

The next morning.

Sunlight squeezed through the gap in the curtains, cutting a straight golden line across the floor.

Lin An opened his eyes.

The space beside him was empty.

Shadow Brake had left at some point.

The quilt was folded neatly at the end of the bed, the pillow was positioned squarely, and there wasn't a single wrinkle on the sheets.

He stared at the empty bed for a few seconds before withdrawing his gaze.

Today was the day to help Xie Xie obtain his space-time type spirit soul.

He quickly washed up, grabbed a few bites of breakfast, threw on his coat, and pushed open the door.

Then, he nearly collided with someone.

Gu Yue was standing at the doorway.

He didn't know how long she had been standing there.

Her eye sockets were red, her sclera were bloodshot, and undried teardrops still clung to her eyelashes.

Her lips were pressed tightly together, and she just stood there, neither speaking nor moving.

She looked like a kitten that had been abandoned all night, finally waiting for its owner to open the door.

Lin An's movements paused for a moment.

"You..."

"I'm fine."

Gu Yue spoke first, her voice raspy and severe.

She shook her head, struggling to pull off a smile, but the expression was uglier than crying.

"I'm really fine. It's just... the wind was too strong last night, and I didn't sleep well."

As she spoke, tears rolled down uncontrollably.

One after another, they streamed down her cheeks.

She raised her hands to wipe them away frantically, but the more she wiped, the more they fell. Finally, she gave up entirely, just staring at Lin An with red eyes, looking pitiful.

"Sorry... about last night, I was too impulsive. I shouldn't have made a scene with you in front of so many people."

Her voice was trembling, yet she tried hard to maintain her composure.

"I understand. Men, you know, having three wives and four concubines is normal. I... I don't mind."

Even as she claimed not to mind, her tears flowed even more fiercely.

Lin An watched her in silence.

This silly dragon had cried all night, her eyes so swollen she could barely open them, yet here she was standing, telling him, "I don't mind."

An indescribable sense of guilt welled up from the bottom of his heart.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

His peripheral vision suddenly caught a figure cowering at the corner of the hallway.

Xie Xie.

Xie Xie was pressed flat against the wall, his face deathly pale, his eyes filled with terror as he looked at Gu Yue.

He had woken up at four in the morning.

Because he was nervous about obtaining his spirit soul, he hadn't slept all night and decided to come out for some air.

As a result, just as he reached the stairs, he saw Gu Yue standing at Lin An's door.

Motionless.

Her expression was sinister.

Those swollen, purple eyes glinted with a ghostly, cold light in the hallway, fixed intently on the tightly shut door, a faint, elusive smile hanging at the corners of her mouth.

Xie Xie was so terrified at that moment he nearly tumbled down the stairs.

He had crouched at the corner for three whole hours, his legs going numb, yet he hadn't dared to move an inch.

Now, seeing Lin An emerge, Gu Yue seamlessly switched from a sinister yandere to a tearful, pitiful damsel.

Xie Xie felt a chill shoot straight from the soles of his feet to the top of his skull.

This is a yandere, right?

Definitely a yandere!

He frantically signaled to Lin An with his eyes, his mouth moving silently: Run! Run away! This woman is a lunatic!

Lin An received Xie Xie's visual signal.

But he only shook his head slightly.

"Alright, stop crying."

He raised his hand, using his fingers to gently wipe the tears from Gu Yue's face.

The movement was light; his fingertips touched her cool skin, coming away damp.

"So many people are watching. If they didn't know better, they'd think I was bullying you."

Gu Yue's body shuddered violently.

Those red, swollen purple eyes widened abruptly.

Wife...

Is caring about her?

Although she had been clinging to Lin An's side every step of the way these past few days, the boy had always treated her with impatient coldness.

He would glance at her coldly, with eyes that looked at trash.

It was utter disgust.

But at this moment, Lin An's fingers were gently brushing across her cheek.

His tone was unprecedentedly gentle.

Gu Yue's breathing suddenly quickened.

The dark thoughts in her mind grew like wild weeds.

That woman last night had hugged him, eaten his cake, and slept in his bed all night long.

She wanted nothing more than to rush in, tear that woman to shreds, and lock Lin An away in a place only she could find.

But for now, she only looked at Lin An with red-rimmed eyes, appearing aggrieved.

"You are bullying me."

Her voice was thick with nasal congestion, and tears welled up again.

"You even gave her my cake to eat. And you were hugging and holding her. Wuu wuu..."

By the end, her voice was filled with an irrepressible sob.

Lin An sighed.

"I really didn't do anything. Her body was having issues, and I was just checking on her."

"You're lying."

Gu Yue sobbed, wiping her tears away haphazardly, her entire face a mess from crying.

"I clearly saw you two hugging, and you even kissed."

"That was just a necessary step for purification. Also, I didn't kiss... who said we kissed? Don't make things up."

Lin An's face darkened, and he suddenly realized something, his brows furrowing.

"Wait. How do you know everything?"

Gu Yue's crying stopped abruptly.

Her body stiffened almost imperceptibly.

But she reacted quickly, tears pouring out again as if they were free, her voice laced with grievance.

"So what if I'm a spirit soul? Can't a spirit soul do anything? Besides, that woman has a physical body and is so pretty. What if something happened and she got pregnant?!"

The gentleness on Lin An's face gradually faded.

He stared at Gu Yue, his gaze becoming scrutinizing.

"Gu Yue. I don't know how you've been monitoring me, but you have truly gone too far."

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a clear sense of detachment.

"Do I not have any privacy at all?"

Gu Yue's heart sank abruptly.

It was over.

She had let it slip.

She bit her lower lip and lowered her head, looking like a child who had done something wrong.

After a few seconds of silence, she pulled a delicately wrapped small box from behind her back and held it out to Lin An.

Inside the box was a sandwich.

The bread was cut neatly, layered with fresh lettuce and slices of ham, and the traces of sauce showed it had been freshly made that morning.

"Alright, wifey, I was wrong."

Her voice softened, carrying a cautious, ingratiating tone.

"I won't cling to you like that ever again. This is the breakfast I prepared for you."

She paused, then quickly added another sentence.

"I didn't mean to spy on you. I was just... worried about you."

Those swollen, purple eyes gazed at Lin An pitifully.

Tears still swirled in her eye sockets, and paired with that exquisite yet haggard little face, the lethality was doubled.

Lin An looked at the sandwich she was holding out and remained silent for a long time.

In the end, he reached out and took the box.

"...Don't let it happen again."
