Chapter 167: Listen to Teacher Goose
Gu He spent the long night sitting by the campfire, singing songs with Uncle Roy and using the flames to keep Vivian at bay. When day broke, she still hadn't found an opportunity.
The more he thought about it, the more he realized that if he could only rely on that method to replenish his water, he would be dragged into a vortex of desire.
Even if he went down that path, it had to be of his own free will—not an involuntary compulsion forced on him by this world's environment and programs.
What Vivian had said only reinforced his feeling that he needed to hold his ground, especially in a situation like this.
Now, Gu He placed all his hopes on Elizabeth. He needed a proper teacher.
If Goose couldn't offer any other path, then perhaps...
When another starry night arrived, Gu He slipped away from the crowd and headed down to the river. Once again, he brought Miss Sakai along to keep watch.
"Don't let anyone get close. I'm leaving it to you."
"He-san, I'll guard the area well. You can go with peace of mind," Sakai Huaqing promised, her face flushing slightly. He-san hadn't asked anyone else to keep watch but her—what immense trust this was.
