Chapter 49 Chapter Eleven

This time Katz was two minutes late, barking at seventeen past three. Di Li trembled when she heard the dog barking. She sat up on the bed, hesitated for two minutes, then gently rolled out of bed and put on her slippers. Suddenly, Gray behind him asked, "Dilly, where are you going?" Dilly was taken aback at first, and then quickly realized that Gray wasn't asleep either! "I'll go to the bathroom to see what's going on with Kaz?" Dilly said. Hearing this, Gray straightened up from the bed and said, "No, Dilly! You can't go!" "Why?" Dilly turned to look at Gray, "Why can't I go and see?"

"You... Anyway, don't go." Gray was a little anxious. Dilly pressed the bedside lamp switch, and when the room was illuminated, she saw Gray's anxious face. "Grey, I want you to tell me why, why can't I go to the bathroom?" Dilly said, looking at him. "I'm doing it for your own good!" Gray said helplessly, "Listen to me, okay, Dilly? Don't fight against me." Dilly shook her head stubbornly: "I'm afraid not, Gray. I really can't take it anymore, I must go and see. What's going on here." With that said, she got up from the bed, walked to the door, and opened it.

Gray jumped off the bed at once, walked to Di Li's side in a few strides, and put his hands on her shoulders. "What are you doing, Gray! You're trying to stop me by force?" Dilly yelled. Gray shook his head and said, "No, Dilly. I want to go with you. If you want to see it so much, then I will go with you." Di Li had a complicated expression on her face, she glanced at Gray, not knowing what to say.Then, she put her arms around Gray's waist, and the two walked together to the bathroom on the left side of the second floor. Katz was still screaming faintly, and every time Dilly took a step, her heart beat faster.

Finally, they walked to the door of the bathroom and stopped. Gray lightly unscrewed the handle of the wooden door, Dilly unconsciously grabbed Gray's clothes, and pressed her body tightly against his chest. After the door was pushed open, Gray pressed the switch on the wall, and the bathroom light turned on, but none of them went in, they just stood at the door and looked in— Kaz's doghouse is right across from that door.After the door opened, they saw Katz standing outside the dog house, barking softly towards the single room opposite for going to the toilet and bathing, as if there was something in front of him.

This scene made Di Li feel terrified and puzzled. Standing at the angle of the door, they couldn't see the single room where the shower was.In other words, as long as they don't enter the door, they have no way of knowing what is in front of Katz. After a pause for a few seconds, Di Li decided to go all out, and she had to figure out the reason today—— Di Li took a step forward, intending to walk into the bathroom. Suddenly, Di Li was grabbed by a pair of powerful arms behind her.Dilly was in pain from being caught, she turned her head and was startled—Grey's face was pale, his eyes were wide open, and he was shaking violently, as if he had seen something terrible.

"Di... Di Li, don't go in...don't..." Gray panted nervously, speaking incoherently. Di Li was completely startled by Gray's expression, and she stood there in a daze. Gray stretched out his hand and closed the bathroom door. He grabbed Di Li's hand involuntarily and ran all the way—after pulling her into the bedroom, he closed the door heavily. Then, Gray quickly jumped onto the bed, wrapped the quilt tightly around himself, and kept shaking. Di Li was completely stunned by Gray's series of actions. She stood in the room with her mouth open, at a loss for what to do.

Just like that, after about two minutes, or five minutes, Dilly couldn't be sure—Gray still maintained this status quo, looking devastated. She didn't understand, what was it that would scare a big man like this? At this time, the dog barking stopped. Dilly walked slowly and step by step to the bed, sat down and asked softly, "Grey, what's wrong with you?" Gray shuddered again, his face was still pale, but perhaps because the barking stopped, he calmed down a little, and said, "No...it's nothing." Dilly noticed that Gray didn't dare to look her in the face when he spoke.

She sighed: "Grey, it's all here, you still say it's nothing, you still want me to believe that you have nothing to hide from me, right?" Gray's eyes flickered a few times, his brows were furrowed, and he remained silent. "Grey, do you really think I'm a fool?" Dilly said suddenly, "You must tell me everything you've been hiding tonight! Otherwise, I'll keep asking until you tell me!" Gray slowly turned his head and looked at Di Li. Di Li looked at him squarely, and their eyes intertwined. After about five minutes, Gray let out a deep breath. He looked away, lowered his head, and stared blankly at his toes.

"Okay, Dilly. I admit, I did hide something from you." He finally said, "Tonight, I will tell you everything."
