C12 Dark Phobia

When these words came out, Lei Yunze was very surprised. He looked at Ling Xiaoyue and did not expect her to make such a suggestion.

She stopped, forgetting to chew the things in her mouth.

"I want you to help me find out the truth about my mother's death. As long as you are willing to help me, we will get married and share your education. " Ling Xiao Yue bit her lower lip. This was the only method she could think of.

Lei Yunze's eyes instantly darkened. He retracted his gaze and said, "Sorry, I refuse."

"Why?"

"If you ask me, I will help you, and your offer of marriage is too selfish for me to accept." Lei Yunze's tone was unpleasant. What Ling Xiaoyue had said was an insult to him.

"Then I have nothing else to say." Ling Xiaoyue stood up and placed the money on the table. "Read it. Let's go!"

"Mom …" As he followed her back to the car, he tilted his head to look at Ling Xiao Yue. Ling Xiao Yue locked eyes with her for a few seconds before sighing.

What Lei Yunze said was right. She was indeed selfish for making such a request, and she even made use of Lei Yunze's feelings for her.

Ling Xiao Yue felt guilty as she played outside for a long time while reading. When she returned home at night, she recited the movie's storyline to Ling Xiao Yue.

With a "ding", the elevator rang. Ling Xiao Yue and Lei Yunze raised their heads at the same time and were stunned on the spot.

The earlier incident caused the two adults to feel awkward. Lei Yunze took a step back and pressed the button to open the door.

"Come on up."

However, she was very happy to see Lei Yunze. She pulled Ling Xiao Yue's hand and entered the elevator.

Ling Xiao Yue subconsciously looked at the elevator's floor. Only 27 numbers were lit.

She had never expected that Lei Yunze would live in the same district as her. Not only that, the two of them even went upstairs and downstairs!

Ling Xiao Yue stood where she was as her fingertips trembled. She began considering whether she should press on the first floor to leave. However, she saw herself stretching out her hand and pressing down on the 28th floor at a lightning fast speed.

"Eh, we live upstairs and downstairs, what a coincidence, Mom."

Ling Xiao Yue smiled awkwardly at Lei Yunze.

Lei Yunze seemed to be in quite a good mood. He gave her a slight nod and a faint smile.

Ling Xiao Yue stared fixedly at the constantly changing numbers on the elevator's crystal screen. She was eager to get there as soon as possible. Suddenly, with a "ka la" sound, all the lights were extinguished.

At the same time, a piercing scream exploded in the darkness.

Ling Xiao Yue threw down the thing in her hands and suddenly hugged it as she recited.

Mom!" Mom! "AHH!" The chanting seemed to have gone crazy as she kept on shouting. In the confined space of the elevator, there was not much oxygen. Ling Xiao Yue tightly hugged the chanting as she shouted out her name.

"I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid. Mom is here, Mom is here!"

Her voice was completely covered by the crying voices as she fidgeted and twisted her body in an attempt to break free from Ling Xiaoyue's embrace while slapping her hands wildly.

"Mom!" The chanting voice began to crack and hoarse. It was impossible to see her face in the darkness, but one could hear the panic and fear in her voice.

Lei Yunze switched on the flash on his cell phone and squatted down. He then took her small body from Ling Xiao Yue's bosom.

"I'm not afraid of remembrance, I'm not afraid of it." He patted his chanting back and comforted her softly.

It was unknown whether it was because there was a faint light or because Lei Yunze had given Shi Yan a sense of security. His restless state of mind gradually calmed down.

Lei Yunze stood up and pressed the first aid button. He began sobbing non-stop in his arms, his small body trembling uncontrollably, causing people to feel pain in their hearts.

"What happened to her?" Lei Yunze lowered his voice, afraid that he would wake her.

Ling Xiao Yue's expression turned sorrowful as she remained silent for a long while. When she spoke once again, her voice sounded like she was crying.

"Dark phobia. For years, her room had been lit, and if it was not lit, she would begin to fidget and shout. "

When Lei Yunze saw her like this, the softest part of his heart began to throb.

He reached out to hold her hand. His palm was wide and thick. Ling Xiaoyue felt a sense of security she had never felt before.

At this moment, the lights in the elevator lit up and the elevator began to move again. Lei Yunze realized that Ling Xiao Yue's hair was a mess and her face and neck were covered in scratches from the insanity recitation.

The elevator door was pushed open and the property manager, who was wearing work clothes, saw the three of them sitting on the floor. He was so scared that he instantly held his breath and carefully asked, "You guys … Are you alright? "
