Chapter 208 - Lin Sitong who is afraid of the dark

However, Lin Sitong seemed to be unable to hear anything now.

In her ears, those unpleasant words continuously intertwined.

"You're trash, you're trash, you're trash …"

"You have been a scourge since the day you were born! "Jinx!"

"To know how to seduce men at such a young age! "Your mother and I are really the same!"

I'm not! I'm not!

Lin Sitong gasped for breath, she wanted to refute the curses, but when she opened her mouth wide, she realized that she had lost her voice, and could only moan out loud.

The invectives by his ear were still continuing, Lin Sitong's breathing became incomparably hurried, and his chest violently rose and fell. She felt as if something had blocked her nose and mouth, and even though she was breathing so hard, she couldn't breathe.

Go away! Go away!

The men and women with sinister smiles slowly approached Lin Sitong and extended their fingers out towards her.

Lin Sitong's elegant face was now completely devoid of any color.

She painfully covered her own ear. However, those insults seemed to have directly entered her brain, and they continued to endlessly circulate in her ears.

Lin Sitong's face revealed a pained expression, and her pale lips trembled slightly. She opened her eyes wide and looked into the endless darkness. At the end of the darkness, it was as if there was a giant beast hiding, baring its ferocious fangs at her. It was as if in the next second, she would be dragged into this boundless darkness.

Lin Sitong's body started to tremble violently.

She did not expect that after such a long period of healing, her fear of the dark would still be so strong!

The sensitive Pei Qingheng also discovered that Lin Sitong's performance was extremely abnormal. His shapely and beautiful lips were tightly pursed, and her thick eyebrows, which were hidden under the mask, were tightly knitted.

Ignoring Lin Sitong's struggle, Pei Qingheng stepped forward and tightly hugged Lin Sitong. His eyes were filled with deep worry as he softly said, "Santong! Shitong, don't be afraid, it's me. I'm Pei Qingheng. "

However, Lin Sitong seemed to have lost all sense of reason and started to struggle frantically.

A trace of deep pain flashed across Pei Qingheng's eyes. He hugged Lin Sitong tightly and coaxed gently, "My dear Sid, don't be afraid. With me here, I won't let anyone hurt you."

"Mmm mmm …"

Lin Sitong moaned as if she was crying at the same time and struggled with all her might.

However, how could she contend against Pei Qingheng with her strength? Very quickly, Lin Sitong's strength was used up, so she could only powerlessly lean into Pei Qingheng's embrace, like a helpless little beast, and cry out in pain.

Hearing such whimpering, Pei Qingheng's heart fiercely shook, and immediately felt as if a heavy fist had struck his chest; it was so painful that he almost couldn't breathe.

Just then, with a "pa" sound, the lights in the hall suddenly lit up.

The masked host stepped onto the stage once more, holding onto his microphone and said excitedly, "Ladiesandgentelemen! Welcome back to the world of light! Look at the people around you, is ta your destiny?! And the lucky couple we've just picked, will they be able to take this priceless diamond necklace with them? All this — let me see! "

"Ooo—"

With the host's increasingly excited tone, the people in the hall also became more and more excited.

As if he had been frightened by this loud roar, Lin Sitong helplessly shrank back into Pei Qingheng's embrace. Those eyes that were filled with confusion and fear were no longer as energetic as before.

Seeing such a Lin Sitong, Pei Qingheng's heart became more and more regretful.

"..." Then, the lucky couple that were chosen just now, please pull those around you and step onto the stage! " The host said excitedly.

As the crowd waited with high expectations for her, Pei Qingheng, who was carefully protecting the incomparable weakness in his embrace, moved carefully and gently protecting her as he walked towards the direction of the big door.

He waited for a long time, but no one came. The side of his face that was exposed immediately stiffened.

He cursed in his heart, maintained his stiff smile and high spirits, and repeated: "That couple, please lead those around you onto the stage! We applaud them and give them a little encouragement, okay! "

Just as the host finished his sentence, thunderous applause immediately rang out.

Lin Sitong opened her terrified eyes, as if she was a person who had fallen into the water and finally found a tree branch to cling to, and tightly grabbed onto Pei Qingheng's arm.

Seeing Lin Sitong's reaction, Pei Qingheng's inner emotions were immediately at a loss.

He was happy that Lin Sitong was finally willing to rely on him with all her heart. The thing he was worried about was that Lin Sitong had already lost her spirited appearance, which made her look a little arrogant and willful.

Pei Qingheng endured the bitterness in his heart as he hugged Lin Sitong and whispered to him, "Sotong, don't be afraid, I'll take you out right now, okay?"

Lin Sitong opened his confused eyes and looked at Pei Qingheng. After a long while, she nodded lightly, his eyes filled with trust.

The applause quickly became sparse.

The atmosphere that was originally stirred up had now turned incomparably awkward.

The host stood on stage, gritting his teeth.

If he knew who these two people were, he would definitely personally greet them!

However, the awkward atmosphere couldn't continue like this. The host lightly coughed and maintained the smile on his face as he said, "It seems like the couple chosen by the Lucky Child doesn't have the guts to fight again ~ It's such a pity." We can only wish them the best, but not the end of the game! "

The crowd below the stage immediately burst into laughter.

Hearing that, Pei Qingheng's face immediately became gloomy, he turned his head, his cold gaze was like an X-ray, coldly staring at the stage, laughing and chatting, trying to stir up the atmosphere of the stage host.

Halfway through his words, the host suddenly felt as if his body had been frozen by cold air. He felt goosebumps rising all over his body.

He frowned, glancing down the platform, but didn't see anything.

Probably... It was just an illusion.

He consoled himself and continued, "Then now, our game will begin anew!"

Pei Qingheng hugged Lin Sitong, and walked out of the banquet hall step by step.

The heavy door slammed shut behind them, isolating all the noise within.
