In the following days, Gong Heng reverted to the tranquility of the past.
He didn't do anything to her anymore.
Yet, she would never trust him again, even if he did nothing, there were times when he did. Because now she could understand the look in Gong Heng's eyes, when he stared at her, it was like the gaze of a starving wolf in the wilderness fixed on its prey.
She knew very clearly that she was unsafe.
In the blink of an eye, more than a week had passed.
Mu Mian had been hoping Xu Yuan would look for her, find it unusual when he couldn't contact her. However, she later realized that Xu Yuan was on Lover's Island.
She now had her own lover, because she had a beloved older brother who worked every summer on Lover's Island, so she spent every summer vacation with him.
She thought, Xu Yuan must have forgotten her by now!
Or perhaps he had called her, and even if he couldn't get through, he believed that Gong Heng would take good care of her.
