He stood up and was about to go back to his room to sleep when Song Mo Ran called me.
After picking up the phone, I hid my excitement and asked while pretending to be indifferent, "What's the matter?"
"Girl, go to the study room and help me find the contract information for Heaven's Will company. I'm in a hurry to use it." Song Mo Ran's voice sounded anxious.
"Yes," I replied, but Song Mo Ran never let anyone into his study. He only asked the family servant to clean the study once a week, even I didn't go in. To a curious person like me, Song Mo Ran's study was no different from a mysterious existence.
After hanging up, I walked straight to the study and slowly pushed open the door.
The rich people's study rooms were all the same. I quickly found the contract material that Song Mo Ran mentioned and was about to go out to call Song Mo Ran when a thought suddenly popped up in my mind.
Could there be a secret chamber?
When watching TV, a study like this was equipped with a secret chamber. Furthermore, Song Mo Ran was such a precious treasure in this study, he usually didn't allow anyone to enter, so was there any unspeakable secrets?
I've just gotten in here once, and I don't want to go out with my questions and choke to death.
Putting the phone in my pocket, I rummaged around the shelves until my eyes fell on a photo frame in the corner.
Some of the pictures in the photo frame had been torn off, while the remaining part was of Song Mo Ran.
Taking a closer look, I noticed that Song Mo Ran was holding a hand on his arm. My intuition told me that it was a woman's hand.
I didn't know anything about Song Mo Ran's past, nor did I ask him about it. Looking at this hand, jealousy rose in my heart. I wanted to take out the photo to take a look, but I found that the photo was locked in place.
Was this the legendary secret room switch?
I let go of my curiosity to learn more about the story behind the photo and tried to suppress my excitement as I slowly turned the frame.
Two seconds later, the shelves started to move slowly. It was as if I had discovered a new continent. I exclaimed in shock. I felt like I was an agent. I didn't expect that I would accidentally discover the switch.
The room was dark. I took out my cell phone and looked for the switch on the wall by the door.
When I turned the switch, the dark chamber lit up and I stepped into it. To my surprise, it wasn't filled with top secret information as I'd expected, or a safe full of gold bars.
In the center of the room, there was a … Big box.
Taking a closer look, goosebumps rose up all over his body. It was not a big box, but a coffin!
I was so scared that my scalp went numb and my body froze in place. I didn't feel anything for a long time.
Why would Song Mo Ran keep a coffin in his secret chamber? There shouldn't be anyone inside …
My first thought was to leave, so I ran back to my room in a frenzy.
Song Mo Ran was curled up on the bed, shivering. What kind of person was he?
From recognition to now, I realized that I really didn't know him at all. He knew everything about me, my past, my present, that was in his hands.
Suddenly, he regretted opening the secret chamber. The phrase "curiosity killed the cat" was not bad at all.
When I really thought about it, my cell phone suddenly rang, scaring me half to death.
Song Mo Ran called.
I remembered my original intention to enter the study. Even though I didn't want to face him right now, I couldn't reveal any flaws. If he knew that I had discovered his secret …
After calming myself down and trying to make my voice sound normal, I picked up the phone.
"Little girl, did you find it?" Song Mo Ran asked.
"Yes, I found it." My voice was still trembling.
Song Mo Ran was silent for two seconds before he asked with a deep voice, "Xiao-Xiao, what's wrong?"
I could feel Song Mo Ran's caution and quickly covered up my abnormality, "Nothing, do you want to use the information now? I'll get the driver to bring it to you. "
"No need, take the information and I'll be back now."
When I heard that Song Mo Ran was coming back, my heart was even more confused. I still didn't know how to face him.
"Xiao-Xiao, are you really alright?" Just as he was about to hang up, Song Mo Ran asked again.
I swallowed, said, "It's all right," and quickly hung up the phone, because I suddenly remembered that I had been too busy running out to close the door.
I can't let Song Mo Ran know that I entered the secret chamber now. That is a secret that he hid from me. I can't act rashly before I figure out why.
In this way, I comforted myself and mustered the courage to return to the study room. I quickly returned everything to its original state, pretending that nothing had happened as I took the information that Song Mo Ran asked for back to the living room.
The long wait made me feel more and more uneasy. I kept thinking about how to deal with Song Mo Ran, but to no avail. I could only act as naturally as possible.
Half an hour later, Song Mo Ran finally returned.
"Silently, here is the information you wanted." I tried my best to appear calm as I handed over the contract information that Song Mo Ran wanted.
He took it and looked at it. He smiled and said, "Girl, you've really found it. I thought you wouldn't know which one it was. After all, there are so many documents in the study. There are many things that you don't know about."
Song Mo Ran's seemingly careless words made my heart thump loudly; is he hinting at something? The air stifled for a moment, making me breathless.
Avoiding his gaze, I hastily said, "Alright, it's already so late. We still have to attend class tomorrow. I'm going back to my room to sleep." After saying that, without waiting for Song Mo Ran's reply, I ran away from his side.
Returning to his room, he quickly locked the door and leaned over the door to listen carefully. Luckily, Song Mo Ran did not follow him.
Remembering that Song Mo Ran had the key to my room, I became uneasy again. I carefully moved a chair closer to the door. Even though I knew it wouldn't be of any use, at least it gave me some psychological comfort.
I lay awake for a long time, trying to get out my earphones to listen to songs, but I couldn't find them anywhere.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Little girl, are you asleep?" Song Mo Ran's voice sounded and I immediately became alert. I tightly covered my mouth to prevent myself from making any sound. If he thought I was asleep, he would have definitely left.
I heard the sound of the doorknob turning, but Song Mo Ran did not succeed in opening the door due to locking it.
"Girl, your headphones dropped in your study room. I'll give it to you. Can you open the door?"
Impossible. In order to not let Song Mo Ran find out, I carefully checked the study after closing the secret room. I was able to confirm that I didn't leave anything behind in the study.
