Gu Jiaojiao made it home in half an hour. Hearing the sound of her motorcycle, Su Shuochi bolted out of the courtyard. He had been up all night drawing.
"Honey, you're back so early?" Su Shuochi asked as he latched the courtyard gate.
"Hmph. Are you implying I came back too early and disturbed your beauty sleep?" Gu Jiaojiao asked with a playful pout.
In reality, she knew he was just worried about her. After parking the motorcycle, she headed straight into the house. She hadn't noticed any spies tailing her on the way back.
"Of course not! How could I possibly sleep when you're not home?" Su Shuochi followed behind her, looking pitiful.
He scanned the area outside their courtyard. Seeing no one suspicious, he went inside and bolted the door, relieved.
Gu Jiaojiao wanted to demand why he hadn't slept, but the words changed as they left her lips. "Are you trying to make me worry on purpose?"
