Chapter 52 - A House Afraid of Darkness

"Swish!"

Shi Xiaonian opened the curtains, the dazzling sunlight shone onto her body, it was warm and comfortable. Outside the window was the Port of Heaven's unique scenery.

It was another new day.

Shi Xiaonian stretched her back, she had originally planned to go to the hospital to see Brother Li, but when her leg was injured, she took the initiative to call her and let her rest, so that she could draw a good draft of the painting.

She hopped toward the study.

The distance from the room to the study was very far.

Since last night, she had discovered that such a large apartment was really not suitable for living alone. One's loneliness would be amplified many times when talking to someone here.

Shi Xiaonian looked at the big empty house, she did not think about it, and sat at her desk and started drawing.

All day long.

Time flew by quickly, and it was already night before they knew it.

She didn't even eat lunch. After drawing the last space, Shi Xiaonian rubbed his empty stomach and jumped out.

"Bang, bang, bang."

The house was empty and empty, with the sound of her jumping about.

Shi Xiaonian struggled to jump forward. Suddenly, her vision turned black, and her surroundings quickly darkened, sinking into the darkness. Her hand that was supporting the wall forward did not manage to hold back, and she fell heavily onto the ground.

"Ah, it hurts."

Shi Xiaonian's facial features scrunched together in pain, she was lying on the ground, and the pain from one of her bandaged feet was even more intense.

What's going on, the Port of Heaven is the most expensive district in all of Asia, why would there be a power outage?

He should be able to supply the electricity in a moment.

Shi Xiaonian was in so much pain that she didn't want to move an inch.

She had grown up in a house that was most afraid of the dark.

When she was young, her adoptive parents had gone to participate in Shi Di's three day study trip. She had been placed with her relatives, and in the end, her relatives had gone out to play as well, locking her inside the house.

That night, there was no electricity.

At the age of seven, she spent the night in the dark house.

No matter how much she cried, the lights didn't come on, and no one came to her rescue.

Afterwards, when Mu Qianchu arrived at the house, he would definitely accompany her when the electricity was out. As a blind person, being able to adapt to the darkness and walk freely anywhere in it, she slowly became less afraid.

Actually, she was more afraid of the darkness than the darkness. She was afraid that when darkness came, she would be the only one left in the room.

And now, this situation was unfolding once again.

Shi Xiaonian lied on the ground for a while. It was still pitch black around her, and in the quiet environment, she could only hear the sound of her own heartbeat.

Still not calling?

Shi Xiaonian could only stand up with difficulty and rub her legs. She wanted to walk back to the study room in the dark, but she had already placed her phone in the study room.

In the dark, her vision was poor.

Along the way, she bumped into several places. Her head touched the wall as she walked. Suddenly, there was a shadow not far away.

"Who?"

she cried in fear.

Like the shadow of a person, it swayed back and forth.

Shi Xiaonian was even more afraid, the damned Gong Ou had left her alone in such a big house, she wanted to return back to her old house.

She stood there trembling and afraid to move.

Suddenly, his cell phone rang. It was ringing in the direction of his study.

"…"

Shi Xiaonian took a few deep breaths before continuing forward. When she reached the side of the black shadow, he realized that the black shadow was just a curved work of art that was hung on a wooden shelf when she walked in.

It scared her to death.

Shi Xiaonian patted her chest in alarm. Ignoring the fact that her leg was injured, she didn't continue to jump and walk.

The phone's ringtone was the only ringtone she set for Gong Ou, a piece of music from hell.

It was normally used to ridicule Gong Ou in her heart as a demon.

At this moment, they were all terrified.

The only light in the study was from the cell phone on the table.

As she walked forward, her cell phone stopped ringing. It was probably the last call she would make before she reached her desk.

The phone vibrated again. Without waiting for the bell to ring, Shi Xiaonian picked up the phone without looking at it, and said angrily, "Do you know how scary it is here? I tell you, I don't want to live here anymore! "

She had to go.

Anyway, he's gone.

"What happened to minuscule thought? What happened? " The man's nervous voice sounded from her cell phone.

Mu Qianchu's voice.

Shi Xiaonian was dumbstruck. She put down her phone and was shocked to see the three words "Mu Qianchu" on the Mobile Screen's screen.

It was the first time in years that he had taken the initiative to call her.

Shi Xiaonian stared at her phone in a daze, until she heard Mu Qianchu's anxious voice, "minuscule thought? What happened? "

Shi Xiaonian's gaze was empty.

After a moment, she put the phone back to her ear and said, "Nothing, nothing at all."

"No, your tone is very scared. Tell me, what happened?"

Mu Qianchu's caring tone on the phone made her at a loss of what to do.

She was scared.

But what could he do if he was afraid?

"It's really nothing. I thought it was someone else calling. Is something the matter? I'm hanging up now."

Shi Xiaonian said indifferently, she did not want to say anymore and immediately hung up.

Before hanging up the phone, she heard Mu Qianchu say, "I came to find you."

Looking for her?

He didn't know where she was.

After being disturbed by Mu Qianchu's call, Shi Xiaonian's terrified heart suddenly cooled down. She stared at her phone and called again.

She turned off her phone.

In the six years after Mu Qianchu's operation, she had always been waiting for him to take the initiative to look for her, waiting for him to act as gentle and gentle as before, until he became numb.

And now, they had finally arrived.

But she had already become Gong Ou's woman, and he had become her brother-in-law.

There was no longer any need for such a relationship to be linked.

Shi Xiaonian stared at the phone that was turned off. Her nose was a little sour, she put the phone back into her pocket and sat on the chair by herself, just like when she was seven years old.

In the Port of Heaven District —

A white Porsche sped in and headed for Building A.

Mu Qianchu sat on the Driver's seat and held onto the steering wheel with both of his hands. When he arrived at the bottom of A Block, he suddenly saw a grey sprint forward, passing him by.

The grey sprint spun around and came to a sudden halt in front of him.

It was a Koenigsegg.

Mu Qianchu was startled, he immediately stepped on the brakes and looked up ahead, only to see a figure alighting from the car, quickly running towards House A.

Gong Ou?

Why was he here?

In the pitch-black study room, Shi Xiaonian sat for a very, very long time.

Suddenly, she thought of something and stood up to touch the window, pulling open the thick curtain.

There was light outside.

Sure enough, only she had the power cut.

It must have been Gong Ou who cut her electricity. He didn't care about the water supply back then, but now that he thought about it, it was Gong Ou who did it.

How could he let her off so easily when he left in such a rage yesterday?

There was light outside.

Shi Xiaonian looked at the light outside the window and decided to leave the big house. She stood up and limped out while enduring the pain.

The house was too big, the sky was too empty, the decorations were not yet familiar to her, and there was another stumble.

It should be the door.

Shi Xiaonian dragged her aching leg and walked forward. Suddenly, she heard a loud and clear banging sound as she knocked on the door.

"…"

What was going on?

In the darkness, Shi Xiaonian's face turned pale white.

Suddenly she was seven years old, alone in a dark room, with thieves coming to her door.

She hid under the sofa at her relatives' house and watched as the feet moved from left to right, right to left, and the beam of the flashlight flashed past and over.

Another thief.

Don't worry, she's not seven years old. She can do it, she can do it.

Shi Xiaonian's face was pale as she searched for a place to hide. She stumbled towards the sofa that was not far away.

There was the sound of a door being kicked open.

Shi Xiaonian's heart stopped from fright. Just as she was about to crawl under the sofa, she heard a crazy male voice, "Shi Xiaonian, you are ruthless! You didn't dare to answer my phone, and you even dared to turn it off! Why are you on the phone? Who are you talking to? Speak! Were there wild men again? Otherwise, I will kill you today! "

Gong Ou gasped as he walked in quickly. He spread his legs and felt like his chest of chest was about to explode.

This woman was too insensible!

He had been waiting at home for two days, staring at his phone eight hundred times. It was fine that she didn't come to beg him, but there wasn't even a phone call.

had said that all girls were afraid of the dark, so he had called her. In the end, even if she didn't pick up the phone, she had even switched it off when she was on the phone with someone else … This woman had completely ignited the fuse of the bomb!

Gong Ou walked in with big strides. In the darkness, his gaze was still sharp as he locked onto the figure that was stiff on the sofa.

"Shi Xiaonian, you're dead today!"

Gong Ou rushed forward, grabbed her arm, and then heard a low sobbing sound.

His chest violently shook.

Shi Xiaonian's body was stiff and cold. She was forcibly pulled over and after recognizing his voice, she did not crawl under the sofa.

Fear, fear, and anger rushed at her.

She felt like she was seven years old, helpless in the dark, no one to save her, no one to accompany her.

"You're crying?"

Gong Ou stood in front of her, his voice suddenly softened, and was not impatient.

"Did you turn off the electricity? Gong Ou, is it interesting for you to do all this? If you want me to die, you don't need to use so many tricks … " Shi Xiaonian choked with sobs, her tears flowing uncontrollably.

Her voice trembled, revealing her fear.

So it was as Feng De had said, all girls were afraid of the dark.

Gong Ou stood in front of her, the anger in his entire body had suddenly disappeared without her knowing, and he extended his hand to her face. Her face was wet and cold, and as his fingers caressed her lips, her soft lips were still trembling.

She pushed his hand away.

Gong Ou frowned in displeasure and patiently said, "Alright, alright, you women are just being sentimental, what is there to be afraid of? Don't cry anymore."
