Hidden Moth

Chapter 85: The Nest Claimed by the Cuckoo


The next day, Gao Xue'e reluctantly went to work. To save time, she decided to take the subway from the nearby starting station, which was much faster than taking a taxi...

For three consecutive nights, He Kao didn't practice the Insect Concealment Skill, but when Gao Xue'e went to work, he took time to practice the Eight Pieces of Brocade, the Communication Skill, the Stealth Skill... and also his cooking skills.

Once the floodgates opened, the rush was hard to suppress. Gao Xue'e still got off work on time and tried to hurry back as early as possible. At home, whenever she had time, she seemed to transform into a white octopus, wrapping around He Kao and dancing.

Gao Xue'e even felt a bit insatiable. At first, she thought that through this way, she could avoid thinking about those memories she didn't want to recall, so she always wanted to drive He Kao to madness and seek more thrilling experiences with him.

Later on, she forgot all of that, without any other reason; she just purely wanted it that way.

He Kao was always so full of energy. Gao Xue'e didn't feel tired going to work every day. Instead, from her body to her spirit, her condition was getting better and better, her skin glowing with a rosy undertone, looking radiant.

The weekend came quickly, and with the shift of holidays, there was only one day off on Sunday. He Kao drove Gao Xue'e back to the Bishu Renjia District.

The name of this district was quite fitting. The greenery was good; even in mid-October, it was lush with foliage, making He Kao inevitably think of the distant Kuan Chun City, where the parks were already desolate.

He Kao helped Gao Xue'e replace her door lock with a new one they just bought, the same model as the new lock on his home's front door. Even with He Kao's skills, this lock couldn't be picked.

Of course, he didn't need to pick the lock; he had the keys, and being a Hidden Moth, he didn't even need the keys.

The house was actually quite clean, courtesy of He Kao's previous visit. Even the bed sheets were smooth, but they were soon rumpled by them... In this environment, he seemed to be extraordinarily excited, and her feelings came quite overwhelmingly.

It was clear that Gao Xue'e had recovered quite well, and she no longer resisted going back to her own home. It seemed that coming here with He Kao this time was like re-sanctifying the house, making it feel much safer.

When they took a pause, He Kao suggested, "You should just move back here. It'll be more convenient for commuting, and you won't have to travel such a long distance every day."

It wasn't just her; He Kao also had to go to work the next day. Traveling back and forth like that every day took two or three hours on the road. Doing it temporarily was fine, but constantly was indeed inconvenient.

Gao Xue'e bowed her head without speaking, just tracing circles on his chest with her finger.

He Kao knew what she was thinking and gently said, "If you still live in Pugang Town, all your time will be spent commuting, and we won't have time to train.

Don't worry, after you move back, I'll still come by often to guide you in practicing the Eight Pieces of Brocade. Once you master it, I can practice with you."

Gao Xue'e finally nodded, "Right, we really wouldn't have time to train... Am I delaying your practice... I mean, every night."

Gao Xue'e was somewhat aware that He Kao practiced every night. Although she wasn't aware that He Kao was already a Tier Two Assassin of the Hidden Moth Sect, she was certain he possessed extraordinary skills.

He Kao explained with a smile, "I do practice Sitting Meditation every night, but I just forgot to practice these few days. But it's okay, it doesn't really delay anything..."

Gao Xue'e suddenly had an idea, "What if I move to Sesame Apartment? It's closer to the office... It'd be best if we lived on the same floor, upstairs or downstairs... Are there any vacant apartments there?"

He Kao was taken aback, "Then what about this place, why not live in a house that's already there?"

Gao Xue'e coyly said, "Anyway, I have a mental block about here. I'd rather rent it out and then rent the largest two-bedroom layout at Sesame Apartment. With the rent income from one place covering the other, I'd still make some money each month!"

Actually, no matter where Gao Xue'e lived, it didn't matter to He Kao. After all, he could just walk over, but it wasn't easy to tell Gao Xue'e that outright, so he just let her be.

Suddenly, Gao Xue'e remembered something, "Xiao Kao, don't forget you also have a place in the Guanliu District. It's only five subway stops from the office, and the view and environment are quite nice. They say the property management is good too."

It was as if her thoughts manifested into reality, because just then, Lawyer Yao Shaolan's message arrived.

He Kao hadn't been working or thinking about other things these past few days, but now remembered he had given Lawyer Yao a power of attorney. Lawyer Yao had some updates and wanted him to visit the office.

Gao Xue'e happened to take a break at home, reminding He Kao to come back early because she was planning to personally cook dinner.

When He Kao left Bishu Renjia District, it was like a weight was lifted from his heart because Gao Xue'e had finally completely moved on from that incident and had almost fully recovered.

If it had been just a few days ago, she wouldn't have dared to go home. He remembered back on the night of October 5th when he accompanied her, and in the end, he went upstairs alone to retrieve something, while Gao Xue'e stayed in the car, not daring to come out.

But today, Gao Xue'e not only went home but also stayed there to rest on her own and even said she wanted to cook dinner herself. It seemed that comforting words were far less effective than actual actions!

As for her idea of renting out this apartment because of her mental block and moving to rent one at Sesame Apartment, it was quite normal. Anyone would feel a bit uneasy, but saying it out loud showed that everything was okay now.
