Afraid that Tang Si’s illness would act up, afraid he might do sothing foolish.
Song Yi couldn’t sleep at all, even lying down made her feel restless.
She opened the door to her room and stepped out.
Li Wen was sitting on the sofa outside, and seeing Song Yi co out, he imdiately stood up.
"Do you want so water? Or is there sothing you need?" Li Wen quickly asked.
Song Yi had always been frail since she was young, prone to illness, and her family pampered her, especially after being tricked away by traffickers and then returned ho, they doted on her excessively, fearing she might have psychological scars.
Luckily, she was both physically and ntally healthy, with no issues, and luckily, she understood everything clearly, not a spoiled and unreasonable rich girl.
Seeing Li Wen’s worried expression, Song Yi shook her head slightly: "I’m fine, just a bit sleepless."
She dragged a chair over and sat across from Li Wen: "Did you hear those strange noises just now?"
"Yes." Li Wen nodded: "It’s possible that here, the gas only really begin at night, during the day those people are probably sleeping inside."
Song Yi propped her chin with her hand, her brows furrowed, looking troubled, and said nothing more.
Li Wen stared at Song Yi, scrutinizing her up and down. After all, with such a commotion in the room earlier, Li Wen was also afraid Song Yi might really be hurt.
Eventually, he noticed Song Yi’s lips were crimson and glistening, as if there was so blood on them.
Li Wen: "What happened to your mouth?"
Upon hearing this, Song Yi gently touched her lips with her fingertip, thinking of Tang Si just now...
She lowered her hand, slightly licked her lips: "It’s nothing."
Even a kiss can be so intense.
Next ti if they do sothing else, should she not expose any skin other than her face?
"Knock knock knock—" At this mont, there was a knocking sound at the door.
Song Yi and Li Wen imdiately looked toward the door.
Then the two exchanged glances.
This door, they wondered whether to go and open it or not.
Who knows if what’s outside is human or ghost, sotis, people are scarier than ghosts.
Song Yi gestured for silence, Li Wen nodded slightly.
Seeing no response from inside, the person outside knocked again, three tis, still no response.
"Hello, is anyone in there? I heard from the village chief that this is your first ti here, I’m the neighbor next door, it’s my first ti too."
"I just heard those sounds and felt a bit scared, can you keep company talking?"
The voice belonged to a young woman.
Li Wen looked at Song Yi, seeking her opinion.
Song Yi shook her head, mouthing the words: "If soone is truly scared, they wouldn’t have the guts to co knocking."
Li Wen thought about it and agreed.
Outside.
It was pitch black, at the entrance to Song Yi’s little courtyard, stood two people, a woman and a man.
The woman, seeing no movent inside, glanced sideways to the man beside her and whispered: "Seems like no one is inside..."
"Or maybe the people inside have already gone to sleep."
The man wore a hat, his face obscured.
The corners of his lips, perfectly balanced between thin and thick, tugged slightly: "That woman is very shrewd."
"If they won’t open the door, just pry it open."
His voice carried a hint of coldness.
Inside, Song Yi and Li Wen heard nothing from outside and thought the people had left.
Just as they were about to speak, they heard a sound coming from the door lock.
Sneaky, rustling noises...
