Chapter 225 My Worries, It's Me, Gu Heng!

"Let's stop here,"

Gu Heng looked at "Night Fashion" getting closer and closer and spoke to Yang Sheng.

"Okay, Mr. Gu, I'll wait for you here."

Yang Sheng then steadily brought the car to a stop.

Gu Heng nodded, then got out of the car alone. The night breeze blew gently, carrying a hint of coolness, dispelling the effects of the alcohol on Gu Heng. He stood by the roadside, his gaze unconsciously drifting towards the bar called "Night Fashion" across the street.

That was where Li Qingyou worked part-time; he knew it. But tonight he didn't plan to go in. He simply leaned quietly against the lamppost opposite the shop, his eyes fixed on the flashing neon lights and the passersby.

After a busy day, Li Qingyou finally finished her part-time job at the "Night Fashion" bar. Night had fallen, and she dragged her weary body home alone. The neon lights on both sides of the street flickered, reflecting on her slightly tired face.

Li Qingyou's eyelids felt heavy. All she wanted was to get home quickly, take a hot shower, and then lie in bed for a good rest.

However, she gradually sensed something was wrong. Whenever she looked back, she felt as if a gaze was fixed on her.

She quickened her pace, trying to shake off the unease, but that gaze seemed to follow her relentlessly. Li Qingyou's heart began to race; she felt an unprecedented fear and anxiety.

She stopped, took a deep breath, and mustered the courage to turn around. Under the dim streetlights, she saw a blurry figure following her at a distance.

In a panic, Li Qingyou turned and ran. Her heart was pounding, as if she couldn't bear the sudden pressure.

She felt dizzy and her vision began to blur, but she still ran forward desperately, trying to escape the terrible stalker.

Gu Heng was somewhat taken aback by Li Qingyou's reaction. He had only intended to silently protect her and ensure her safe return home, but he hadn't expected Li Qingyou to turn and run away in such a panic. He realized that Li Qingyou might have mistaken him for a stalker.

Gu Heng immediately chased after her, calling out Li Qingyou's name loudly, trying to stop her. But Li Qingyou was already in a state of extreme panic; she couldn't hear anything and just instinctively ran forward.

Gu Heng watched Li Qingyou's figure recede into the distance, his heart filled with anxiety and helplessness. He knew that if he didn't catch up with her quickly and explain everything, she might become even more frightened and misunderstand. So he quickened his pace, chasing after her with all his might.

Gu Heng caught up with Li Qingyou not long after. He grabbed her hand and made her stop.

Li Qingyou was startled by Gu Heng's sudden appearance. She struggled to break free, but Gu Heng held her hand tightly, preventing her from leaving.

"Qingyou, it's me, Gu Heng!"

Gu Heng spoke loudly, trying to make sure Li Qingyou could hear him. Li Qingyou was startled; she looked up at Gu Heng, her eyes filled with confusion and fear.

"You...why are you here?"

Li Qingyou's voice trembled. She still couldn't believe that Gu Heng would be here. Although her heartbeat gradually calmed down, there was still lingering fear in her eyes.

"I was nearby, I thought you had already left work, I didn't expect to see you again,"

Gu Heng said earnestly, his eyes filled with joy as he looked at Li Qingyou.

"You've been drinking,"

Li Qingyou gradually calmed down under his gentle words. Smelling the alcohol on Gu Heng, she frowned slightly and asked...
