Chu Feng endured the weak and numb sensation as he lifted one leg and suddenly lost his balance. He tumbled down from the trunk.
Beneath him was a soft grassland. Chu Feng couldn't decide whether to feel lucky or unfortunate. Just now, after pushing a few times, he realized that the trunk of the car wasn't properly locked. It was quite a struggle to get out, but the strange sensation in his body alarmed him.
Why has he become so sensitive that even a slight scratch from the grass would make his whole body tremble, as if there is a faint electric current wandering on his skin?
My body feels numb and tingly, making it unbearable to move or not move. It's like when you nap on your hand for too long and it goes numb, and then when you wake up, the blood rushes back and it feels like a thousand ants are nibbling on your tender skin.
"Mmm—" He couldn't help but groan, feeling uncomfortable. However, he remained conscious, knowing that he must escape before Shen Yi came out.
Looking up, the nearby villa was quiet and dimly lit. Only a small window on the second floor emitted light, as if the spacious house was usually inhabited by only one person.
The surroundings were incredibly quiet, so quiet that even the faint sound of an argument coming from the second-floor window could be heard. Although the content of the argument was unclear, it was possible to distinguish that one of the voices belonged to Shen Yi. The other voice sounded familiar, but it was probably just an illusion.
Chu Feng dragged his weak body towards the entrance gate, finally reaching it with great difficulty. However, he discovered that the gate was locked, and it was a fingerprint lock. Whether opening it from the inside or outside, it required inputting a fingerprint.
He pushed hard several times to confirm that the door was indeed of high quality. Then he looked up and saw that the walls of the courtyard were very high, with electric wires entwined on top. There was nothing around that could be climbed or grasped.
His heart was as lifeless as ashes.
What is even more despairing is that he thought his body was heating up because he had stayed in the poorly ventilated trunk for too long. However, he has now been outside and exposed to the wind for quite some time, yet his body is getting hotter and hotter. He finally realizes that things are not as simple as he had thought.
Hot... so hot...
My heart was pounding, each beat felt like it was about to jump out of my throat. Even my breath became scorching hot, and my whole body, from head to toe, was engulfed in a fiery heat. Even... that place... that unbearable place...
What should we do? What is he going to do?
His intuition had already told him what Shen Yi would do to him next. He couldn't tolerate such a terrifying thing from happening. He would rather die!
Suddenly, there was a loud slamming sound coming from upstairs.
Oops! Shen Yi is coming down!
Chu Feng anxiously looked around, the courtyard was empty, except for a few low shrubs and grass, there was nowhere to hide. After scanning several times, his gaze finally locked onto one spot.
The villa is so big, there must be a place to hide.
Chu Feng bit himself hard, enduring the itchy sensation temporarily as the piercing pain seared through him. He quickly entered the villa at his fastest speed, only to hear intense arguing coming from upstairs.
"......Stop right there! If you keep causing trouble like this, there will come a day when I'll send you straight to jail!"
Sit if you want to! If I really get caught later, there's no need for you to send me off, I'll go on my own!"
Who exactly is the other person? What is their relationship with Shen Yi?
However, Chu Feng did not have the intention to delve into it deeply. He searched around for a place to hide, but he did not expect that the spacious villa would be just as empty as the courtyard, with very few decorations.
It seems that the owner of this room is fond of a simple style, but it's a disaster for Chufeng. As long as Shen Yi comes downstairs, he can immediately see him!
What should I do?
Got it! Hide in the room!
It's always possible to find a room to temporarily hide in with so many rooms in the villa.
He stumbled and ran towards several visible doors on the first floor, hoping that one of them was unlocked. He tried two in a row until finally, in front of the third door, he gently turned the doorknob and the door opened.
He quickly dodged and collapsed inside, at this moment he had already exhausted all his strength.
At the same time, the heated argument upstairs had reached its climax.
"If you go out tonight, don't bother coming back!"
"I won't go back, no matter what!"
Shen Yi turned around and left.
