<h4>Chapter 38 Do You Love Me Too</h4>


    For several hours, she couldn''t fall asleep, until she finally heard the gentle tap of a personnding on her balcony.


    Her grasp on the nket tightened a little and then she heard the door slide open. With a smile on her face, He Xinyan pretended to yawn and then wake up, making it seem like she had been sleeping this entire time.


    "Did I wake you up? Sorry," Gu Yechen walked over to the bed and climbed on, "Let''s sleep together."


    He Xinyan rolled her eyes but the smile on her face revealed her happiness. For the first time since Gu Yechen began shamelesslying over, He Xinyan took the initiative in crawling into Gu Yechen''s embrace and took a deep breath, taking in his masculine and attractive scent.


    Fatigue immediately overcame her. He was almost like a sleeping potion to her.


    Gu Yechen looked down at He Xinyan, "You. . . Do you love me too?"


    "Why are you suddenly asking?"


    "Because you crawled into my arms today!" Gu Yechen smiled happily and wrapped his arms around He Xinyan''s waist.


    "You''re overthinking, I''m just kind of cold and need warmth," He Xinyan lied.


    Her rejection didn''t affect Gu Yechen''s mood much, because he was confident in getting He Xinyan to fall for him at some point. True love takes time and he was willing to wait.


    Gu Yechen pulled He Xinyan closer to him and also moved more of the nket over to her, although she wasn''t really cold at all.


    He lightly kissed her head and closed his eyes, pretending that nothing happened. After knowing that Gu Yechen liked her, He Xinyan didn''t find his sudden acts of affection weird anymore, but it was still a little ufortable.


    She closed her eyes tightly and slowly fell asleep.


    ---


    The next morning, He Xinyan woke up and Gu Yechen was still inside her room.


    "You''re still here," He Xinyanmented as she rubbed her eyes.


    "Do you have time to go on a date today?"


    He Xinyan wasn''t fully awake yet, and it took a while for her to respond. She didn''t have anything to do the next week or so except study the script.


    "Sure. Where?"


    "Whatever you choose."


    He Xinyan blinked her eyes a few times and responded, "Let''s go to an escape room!"


    With Gu Yechen, there was no way that they wouldn''t be able to escape. They might even break a record!


    "Escape room?"


    He Xinyan scrunched her face up, "You don''t know what an escape room is? Wow. . . You''re missing out on life. It''s when you and your friends are thrown into a room and you have to find clues to try and escape."


    Gu Yechen thought that it sounded kind of boring, but he nodded his head. Whatever she wanted to do. . .


    "Okay, go go go! I have to get ready and you do too. Let''s meet up thirty minutester okay?"


    Gu Yechen got pushed out of the room and locked outside, so he grudgingly returned to his home to prepare for the date.


    "Chen Xiao, I am skipping work today."


    ". . . What?!" Chen Xiao''s eyes widened in surprise. "Mr. Gu, the meeting with the CEO of the Qin Corporation is today."


    "Then move it to another day." Gu Yechen closed the door to his room and changed into a ck shirt and a pair of ck jeans. The ck outfit made him look skinny and tall, but also very well-built.


    Thirty minutester, he walked over to the sidewalk to find He Xinyan already outside. She seemed to have guessed that he would wear all-ck because she was in a matching outfit.


    He Xinyan wore ck ripped jeans and also a ck sporty top that only reached her waist, exposing her stomach.


    "We''re matching! Yes!" He Xinyan yfully stuck her tongue out and stood next to Gu Yechen, making them look like a pair of secret detectives.


    "Um. . . maybe ck isn''t such a good color to match in. Let''s try a different one next time."


    "Okay." Gu Yechen responded although he only had ck clothes in his closet.


    The two of them drove over to the escape room ce He Xinyan had found, and they decided to eat brunch together after their date.


    "Hello," He Xinyan walked up to thedy working at the front desk and looked around curiously at the different escape room options listed with pictures on the wall.


    "Two people?" The worker asked as she looked from He Xinyan to Gu Yechen. If this couple were to have a kid, it would definitely be an amazing sight.


    "Yes." He Xinyan turned to Gu Yechen and pointed to one of the options on the wall, "Let''s do that one. Escape from prison."


    "Okay."


    "That would be $70."


    He Xinyan pulled out her wallet but looked up to see that a ck credit card was already in the worker''s hands.


    He Xinyan turned to Gu Yechen and said sternly, "I am paying for the meal after."


    "I am pursuing you."


    ". . ." Well that made a lot of sense. What type of pursuer would make the person he is pursuing pay?


    ---


    After a quick five minute wait, He Xinyan and Gu Yechen entered the room, which was designed to look like a prison cell.


    "You have one hour, starting now!"


    "Hurry and look for clues!" He Xinyan screamed as she walked over to the small wooden bed and began investigating.


    "There''s nothing. . . Do you see anything, Yechen?" When she heard no response, He Xinyan turned back to look and saw that Gu Yechen was sticking a key into a small wooden box.


    "Where did you get that key?"


    "I found it."


    ". . ." They only came in here for a minute. He Xinyan heard a click and the box opened, revealing a shlight.


    "Wow, you''re so good at this!" He Xinyan grabbed onto the shlight and opened it, "What is this supposed to do?"


    Gu Yechen looked at the shlight, "Let me see it."


    He Xinyan handed the shlight over to Gu Yechen and he shone it at the walls, but nothing interesting happened. He continued moving it around and tilted it up to the ceiling. When he reached the middle of the ceiling, a few numbers in blue were revealed.


    "Woah. . ." He Xinyan looked at the four numbers on the wall and frowned, "But what are they supposed to mean. . ."


    While He Xinyan was still pondering, Gu Yechen had already walked over to the empty bookshelf except for one book and he took the book off.


    When he flipped the dictionary open, it wasn''t a real dictionary, but instead was a small book safe.


    "How did you know?"


    "It''s weird that there is only one book on the shelf. I got a book safe as a gift once when I was a child." Gu Yechen entered the numbers as the code and twisted the lock. With another click, the safe opened.


    He Xinyan curiously ran over to see what was inside and saw a chain of keys.


    "There are so many. . ."


    "It''s this one," Gu Yechen lifted up one of the keys in the middle.


    "How did you know?"


    Gu Yechen turned to look at He Xinyan weirdly, "Isn''t it obvious? They purposely made a fingerprint mark on this key as a clue to the yer that it is this key. It''s kind of faint but it is still there."


    ". . ." What does kind of faint mean? If you don''t look very closely, it doesn''t even exist!


    After a few more minutes, He Xinyan decided to sit down on the bed that was supposed to be for the prisoner and watched as Gu Yechen solved one clue after another.


    In less than fifteen minutes since they came in, the escape door opened. He Xinyan slowly stood up from the bed with a sigh and pped her hands.


    "Well. . . that was very fun. . ."
