"Hurry!" Jin Jiuchi urged in haste while glancing at the door every now and then, as if someone were out there after his life. "I have to learn it before Nian'er wakes up!"
"Wait, wait a moment. What are you…" It took a few seconds for Gu Luoxin's sleep-fogged mind to process what Jin Jiuchi was saying, and then he was struck by a surge of disbelief. No, how could that be possible? Jin Jiuchi couldn't have barged into his room, at this unearthly hour when everyone was supposed to be deep in slumber, just for… that? Rubbing his eyes, he sat up and switched on the nightstand lamp, bathing the room in a warm golden glow. "Excuse me but," he suddenly used a formal tone for some unknown reason. "Are you referring to… the material we discussed in the Cycle?"
Jin Jiuchi shot him a quiet glare, "Don't tell me you're going back on your words!"
