Beware of Fire, Theft, and Gu Shiyan

Beside them, Gu Shiyan lightly patted the leg closer to Lu Miao.

A hint of amusement flashed in his eyes.

After dinner, Lu Miao went upstairs, finished her homework, and washed up. As she walked to the balcony door, about to reach out and close the window, she glanced up and saw Gu Shiyan standing on the neighboring balcony. He held a lit cigarette, which glowed in the darkness.

The balcony was not illuminated, and in the night, his back was slightly bent, exuding a faint sense of restraint.

Lu Miao hesitated for a moment, holding the balcony door handle, but ultimately stepped out.

Seeing the cigarette in his hand and remembering the scattered butts she had seen in his office that afternoon, she said, "Smoking is harmful to health."

Gu Shiyan chuckled softly, extinguished the cigarette, and turned to lean against the balcony railing. "Alright, I'll listen to you."
