Chapter 122 Sneaking into the Boudoir
Xiao Yan knew very well where Gu Xun'er lived, because on the first day Xun'er arrived at the Xiao family, it was Xiao Zhan who arranged for him to go there with Xun'er. In the following days, he went there many times to fawn over Xun'er.
Therefore, he was very familiar with the road and distance between his residence and Xun'er's residence. He could find it even with his eyes closed, let alone now that it was just night.
Under the cover of night, a small figure moved swiftly through layer upon layer of houses. He was clever; instead of traveling openly, he crept into the shadows, thus attracting no attention. No one could have imagined that someone would commit a crime in the dead of night.
Night is the best disguise, and darkness is the best accomplice; they can cover up all kinds of crimes.
Soon, Xiao Yan easily slipped into a courtyard.
Continuing forward, Xiao Yan hesitated when he saw the door so close at hand. He withdrew his outstretched arm. As an adult, he was well aware of what he was doing and the consequences of his actions.
In his previous life, such behavior would have been absolutely punishable by imprisonment and handcuffing. Even in the Dou Qi Continent, if his actions were discovered, he would at least receive a severe beating, and in serious cases, he would lose his life and his reputation would be completely ruined.
After much internal struggle, Xiao Yan's desire finally prevailed over reason. Besides, he believed his current body was still that of a child; even if he were discovered, he would at most receive a scolding, with no other serious consequences. After all, he was just a child; what did he know?
"Creak!" The sound of the wooden door being pushed open was so clear in the quiet night that it startled Xiao Yan, who was about to step into the room, causing him to stop in his tracks and dare not make any further movement.
After a moment, seeing that there was no sound in the room, Xiao Yan knew very well that the owner of the room, Xun'er, should be fast asleep and would not have heard the sound just now.
Reassured, he tiptoed into the room and then carefully closed the door behind him.
Even so, the door inevitably made a sound just as it was about to close.
Xiao Yan, who was closing the door, was unaware that the noise had already alerted the owner of the house, who was currently watching him intently from a distance with her bright eyes.
Because she was far from her hometown and parents, Gu Xun'er had come to the Xiao family and was well-fed and clothed. However, in the past few days, Xun'er had been missing her hometown and her father every night, which kept her awake for a long time until late at night, until she could no longer stay awake and finally fell asleep.
Tonight, she felt the same way. However, to her surprise, just as she was missing her hometown, an uninvited guest barged into her room!
Because she blended into the night, Xun'er couldn't see clearly who the figure in the distance was, let alone distinguish Xiao Yan's small figure. She never thought that the figure was a child. In her heart, the figure was a demon with green fangs!
"What should I do? What should I do?" Xun'er was extremely flustered. Coming from a prominent family, she naturally knew the difference between men and women, and she also knew that one's private quarters should not be entered by just anyone. Especially this "bandit" who had sneaked in under the cover of night, his purpose made her even more afraid to think about it.
"Should I rush out? But what if he knocks me unconscious? Is there really no other way? Am I just supposed to lie obediently in bed?"
Xun'er was very flustered. It was the first time she had experienced something like this, and she had no idea how to deal with it or what the best and most effective way to do it was.
Not to mention that she is only a four-year-old girl, practically powerless, which makes things even more difficult.
"Elder Ling, Elder Ling! Where are you! Please come and save Xun'er!" Xun'er cried out in her heart. At this moment, Ling Ying, who had been sent to protect her, had become her last hope.
She desperately wanted to shout for help, but she didn't know who the person in the shadows was, and she was even more afraid that if she shouted for help, she would be discovered and might even be killed.
That's why she was very careful to control her body, secretly covering her mouth with her hands, trying her best not to make a sound, for fear of disturbing the uninvited guest!
Covering her mouth with both hands, tears glistening in her eyes, Gu Xun'er was filled with terror. Her small body curled up under the blanket, as if only in this way could she feel a little sense of security.
However, Xun'er was unaware that Ling Ying, whom she regarded as her last hope, was currently fast asleep, sleeping soundly and deeply. Not only did she not make a sound to call for help, but even if she shouted for help, it would be to no avail; Ling Ying would still not know.
If it weren't for this, he would have discovered Xiao Yan the moment he arrived, taken measures, and punished him, instead of waiting until now to let Xiao Yan do as he pleased. It is precisely for this reason that Xun'er's hopes will ultimately remain unfulfilled.
However, if Xun'er were to shout loudly at this moment, although it would be impossible to wake Ling Ying, it would definitely scare away this "uninvited guest." But perhaps it was because she was worried that disturbing the uninvited guest would put her in a very dangerous situation, or perhaps it was because of the nature of this matter.
After all, when faced with something like this, children tend to choose to hide it because no one will offer them help, and no one will explain the pros and cons to them. The reason they do this is because girls value their reputation very much.
After closing the door, Xiao Yan tiptoed into the room. When Xun'er saw Xiao Yan turn around, she was startled and quickly removed her hands from her mouth, closed her eyes, and pretended to be fast asleep.
However, she was still too nervous. Although her eyes were closed, her eyelids were trembling incessantly, making it obvious that she was not asleep and that she was faking it.
