Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 583: Cheeks Feeling Hot

It was a restless sleep.

She had a very strange dream.

Cough cough.

Gu Yan looked at the Little Mushroom bracelet, which she wore as an ornament on her wrist, and said, "It’s probably because we changed locations; I didn’t sleep soundly."

"Xiaoyan, you’ll need to adjust because we’re going to be living here for the next twenty-nine days."

"Mhm."

She hoped that she wouldn’t have such a dream tonight; otherwise, she didn’t know how she would face Brother Little Mushroom.

Because she wasn’t carrying any weight, and her physical strength was still plentiful at the beginning, the first ten kilometers were no problem at all, and Gu Yan could barely keep up with Brother and Vivian’s pace.

As they passed the one-third mark of the course, Gu Yan started feeling as though her legs were filled with lead, and her stride began to slow down.

The people sent by Adolf were secretly observing Gu Yan. At first, seeing Gu Yu and others helping her made them feel a bit better, but after the halfway point, Gu Yan told Gu Yu and Vivian to go ahead and not worry about her.

These two were secretly anxious, watching the girl’s pace get slower and slower; they could hardly resist the urge to carry the weight for her!

Gu Yu didn’t leave immediately. He frowned and said, "Xiaoyan, there are still over twenty kilometers to go. Can you manage?"

"For the first half, I had you leading me, plus you helped me carry the weight, so my performance was much better than when I run normally," she said. "For the remaining half, if I just grit my teeth, I should be able to hang on."

Vivian was also worried, "Xiaoyan, I run fast. How about I stay with you a bit longer?"

Gu Yan shook her head, "No need. This is the first time, and there are six days to come. For half the distance, it’s better for you to control your time. Go ahead, don’t worry about me; I feel like I can still manage."

Since she insisted, Gu Yu and Vivian didn’t persist. They also wanted to calculate the time; if there was plenty of time left when they reached the end, then they could accompany Xiaoyan for longer tomorrow.

After they left, Gu Yan consumed another tube of nutrient solution and continued running forward. Although carrying the weight slowed her down considerably, Gu Yan’s steps were still fairly steady, and she wasn’t stumbling too much.

Good, she had passed the thirty-kilometer mark, only twenty more to go!

Just then, the Little Mushroom wristband on Gu Yan’s wrist flashed, and Bai Li’s deep voice came through.

"Xiaoyan, are you running by yourself now?"

With no one around, Gu Yan replied softly, "Yes."

"How are you holding up?"

"Another ten kilometers should be no problem."

Although her speed was getting slower, she was not at the point where she couldn’t walk. This was all thanks to the advantage she had built up in the first half.

Bai Li swallowed his offer to help. Indeed, Xiaoyan’s physical endurance was too weak, weaker than that of other purebred humans and Plantmen.

She did need to train.

He said, "All right, I’m with you all the way. Just call out if you need anything."

Gu Yan asked, "Have you reached the end yet?"

Bai Li replied, "Almost. I can stay with you once I’m there."

Gu Yan understood that this was the special nature of the Little Mushroom’s existence, and it was the way she had been communicating with Brother Little Mushroom since she was young.

However, after that exchange, she was reminded of the dream she had that morning, in that half-asleep state!

Gu Yan’s face instantly flushed red!

Fortunately, by this time Bai Li had already finished the call and didn’t make any more noise, which allowed Gu Yan to breathe a sigh of relief.

But her cheeks were still a bit hot.

Kissing the forehead is a very intimate gesture, not meant to convey anything else. Brother Little Mushroom might as well have been with her from childhood, just like family.

But why did she dream about Brother Little Mushroom kissing her on the lips!

Gu Yan unconsciously stretched out her hand, gently touching the corner of her mouth...Isn’t that said to be an act reserved only between spouses, like her mom and dad, meant for that spot?

The two people secretly watching Gu Yan saw the little girl talking to herself, but couldn’t hear clearly what she was saying, they couldn’t help but become even more worried.

"Is she unable to run anymore, giving herself a pep talk?"

"I think so. But she didn’t seem too strained in the first half. She might have a chance to hold on until the end."

"I just hope she doesn’t faint from exhaustion."

This little girl is the most precious princess of Landis Star, and there are only two people on Landis Star who can be called princess.

The other one, Gu Ruanruan, already became a Commander at such a young age, and her combat power... these ordinary Star Warriors couldn’t beat her!

She has nothing to do with the delicate little princess stereotype!

Those two then looked again at the beautiful little girl who was trying hard to run, her little face red and her pace getting slower and slower... Now that’s a truly delicate little princess!

They were all praying that the little princess wouldn’t really faint!

Otherwise, the fury of those three, none of them could withstand it, not even their direct superior, Adolf!

Gu Yan kept running for a while longer, her speed had completely slowed down, changing from running to walking, and even after taking a nutrient supplement, it was of no help.

Luckily, at that time, there were less than ten kilometers left. She gritted her teeth, as it wasn’t impossible to endure it. Most importantly, Gu Yan could chat with Bai Li from time to time; she wasn’t alone.

However, while running, someone suddenly walked quickly past Gu Yan... Yes, walked, for it seemed they didn’t have much energy left either, but their pace was still slightly faster than Gu Yan’s.

It was Luo Xixi.

Luo Xixi was a pure human, and her physical condition was actually a bit better than Gu Yan’s. The reason she was behind earlier was because Gu Yu and the others had helped Gu Yan.

But Luo Xixi was also in a sorry state, and her Beastman companions had left long ago. She felt somewhat gloomy, but when she saw Gu Yan, who was also alone and even slower than herself, she suddenly found her psychological balance.

"What good does it do to have help if you’re still falling behind me?"

In fact, the two were only a few meters apart, with neither moving quickly, so the gap wasn’t too big.

Gu Yan, speechless, "Luo Xixi, do you have a problem? Why are you always targeting me?"

"As if you hit me and I’m not supposed to be upset?"

"I slapped you because you were talking nonsense. My brother didn’t like your sister and that’s why he rejected her, you kept saying I persuaded him, but could someone as formidable as my brother, who could even ascend to the throne, be swayed by just a few words?"

Luo Xixi’s face soured.

The aftermath of this incident was significant. The head of her family scolded her father, who then came home and hit her. This almost amounted to offending the Gu Family, and whether the Luo Family could produce another Empress, they didn’t know.

But it was certain that Luo Qi, Luo Xixi’s sister, was out of the question.

Even, Gu Chen said directly in front of the Luo Family head that he didn’t like Luo Qi and that she wasn’t suitable for the role of Empress in any aspect, his words leaving no room for interpretation. After those words spread, it became difficult for Luo Qi to marry in the future.

Because of this, Luo Qi even scolded her own sister, Luo Xixi, fiercely.

This infuriated Luo Xixi. Why is everyone scolding her!?
