Gu Cheng led Thor down the mountain.
At this moment.
The sun was setting in the west.
Their figures were stretched out extra long.
Thor curiously looked around at the environment all the way, as if everything around her was filled with curiosity.
…
A moment later.
The two arrived at the entrance of the villa.
"That's my house."
When Gu Cheng pointed to the door, he turned to Thor and said.
Thor looked up and looked at the beautifully decorated, modern building in front of her, and a hint of surprise flashed in her orange pupils.
"Humans… all live in places like this?" she asked incredulously.
"Of course not,"
"This is just my place."
Gu Cheng smiled.
As he spoke, he took out a key from his pocket and opened the villa door.
"Come in."
Thor hesitated for a moment, but finally stepped inside.
As soon as she entered, Thor was stunned by what she saw.
Inside, there were all kinds of modern furniture and appliances.
It was completely different from anywhere she had ever seen before.
"Wow…" Thor's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but exclaim.
Then, her gaze swept across the living room, finally landing on a huge LCD TV hanging on the wall.
"What's that?" Thor pointed at the TV and asked curiously.
"That's a TV, it can be used to watch various programs."
Gu Cheng explained.
"Programs?" Thor tilted her head, seemingly not understanding what Gu Cheng meant.
Seeing this, Gu Cheng casually turned on the TV and tuned it to a channel playing cartoons.
"Wow…" Seeing the colorful images on the TV screen.
Thor's eyes widened immediately, her face full of curiosity.
Gu Cheng smiled, didn't say anything more, but took Thor around the villa, introducing her to various modern furniture.
Thor was curious about everything, constantly asking various questions.
Gu Cheng patiently answered her questions, satisfying her thirst for knowledge.
After touring the villa.
Gu Cheng took Thor to the second floor and arranged a guest room for her.
"You can stay here for now."
Gu Cheng pointed to the room and said.
"If you need anything, you can call me anytime."
"Um… thank you."
Thor nodded, a hint of gratitude in her golden pupils.
"Then you rest for now, I'm going to take a shower."
After Gu Cheng finished speaking, he turned and left the room.
…
…
When Gu Cheng came out after taking a shower.
Thor was sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding a remote control in her hand, studying the TV intently.
When she saw Gu Cheng come out, Thor looked up and asked a little embarrassedly:
"That… this thing… how do you use it?"
Seeing this, Gu Cheng walked over with a smile, took the remote control, and patiently taught Thor how to use the TV.
Thor learned quickly.
She mastered the basic operation of the TV in no time.
"Okay, take your time watching, I'm going to rest."
Gu Cheng handed the remote control to Thor and turned to walk towards his room.
"Wait…"
At this moment, Thor suddenly called out to Gu Cheng, a trace of hesitation flashing in her golden pupils.
"What's wrong?" Gu Cheng turned around and asked in confusion.
"That… I… can I sleep with you?" Thor lowered her head and said softly.
"Huh?" Gu Cheng was slightly taken aback, then he reacted and said with a smile: "Of course, but… my bed might be a little small."
"It's okay…" Thor quickly replied, "I can sleep on the floor."
"Don't bother."
Gu Cheng smiled and shook his head,
"If you don't mind."
"We can just squeeze a little."
"But…" Thor wanted to say something else, but she was interrupted by Gu Cheng.
"Okay, that's decided."
Gu Cheng said, and then turned and walked into the room.
Seeing this, Thor hesitated for a moment, but finally followed.
…
…
The night passed without incident.
The next morning.
Gu Cheng, who was still asleep, was suddenly awakened by a knock on the door.
"Knock knock knock…"
"Who is it?" Gu Cheng rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked yawning.
"It's me."
At this time, Thor's voice came from outside the bedroom door.
"What's wrong?" Gu Cheng asked in confusion.
"Someone is looking for you."
Thor said.
"Someone is looking for me?"
Gu Cheng was stunned when he heard this, then he reacted, got out of bed, put on his clothes, and walked out of the room.
When he got to the living room.
He found that Thor had already changed into a maid outfit, even though it had only been a night.
However.
Before Gu Cheng could react.
…
The next second.
The doorbell rang.
"Ding dong…"
After opening the door.
A man in a black suit stood outside the door.
"Good day, are you Mr. Gu Cheng?"
The man politely bowed slightly and asked.
"I am, who are you?" Gu Cheng said.
"Good day, Mr. Gu Cheng, I am the butler of the Shigong 財團, and I am here to deliver the invitation to tonight's banquet."
The butler said respectfully, handing a gilded invitation.
Gu Cheng instinctively wanted to refuse.
"Sorry, I have something else to do tonight…"
But
Before Gu Cheng could finish his sentence.
The invitation in the butler's hand attracted his attention.
The invitation was pitch black, with his name, the time and place of the banquet written in gold letters.
Other than that, there was no extra decoration.
But.
This seemingly ordinary invitation gave Gu Cheng a strange feeling that he couldn't explain.
It was like…
The invitation itself was a living being.
"Mr. Gu Cheng, if it's not convenient for you, I can relay it."
Noticing that Gu Cheng was staring at the invitation in a daze.
The butler thought he was worried about something, so he quickly said.
"No need, I will be there on time."
Gu Cheng came back to his senses, took a deep look at the butler, and finally took the invitation.
…
"Then, we look forward to your presence."
Seeing this, the butler smiled, then turned and left.
And, Gu Cheng closed the door and returned to the living room.
"Who was that?"
Thor asked curiously.
"Someone who delivered an invitation."
Gu Cheng casually said, raising the black invitation in his hand.
"Invitation?"
Thor was interested when she heard this and curiously came closer:
"What kind of banquet is it?"
"Let me see…"
Gu Cheng said, then opened the invitation.
The content of the invitation was simple, it only simply introduced the time, location, and some precautions of the banquet.
"Eight o'clock tonight, Jade Mountain Villa…"
Gu Cheng muttered, his brows slightly furrowed.
He didn't know why, but he felt something was wrong.
"What's wrong?"
Thor keenly sensed Gu Cheng's change, and asked.
"..."
Gu Cheng wanted to say something.
But after thinking about it, he shook his head.
"Nothing, don't worry."
"Really?" Thor looked at Gu Cheng in doubt.
"Really."
Gu Cheng nodded.
