Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Rong Yan let her continue being angry and he removed his tie without even looking at her. He then removed his s.h.i.+rt and thumped his burly self onto the round and s.p.a.cious bed.
Luo Anning was obviously furious to see that he had occupied her bed. At this juncture, she was in no place to make him leave either. Well, he was the one who had decorated the room after all.
She was inferior to him.
Luo Anning turned around and left angrily. Keeping his eyes fixed on her, Rong Yan asked, “Luo Anning, where are you going?”
“Next door!” Isn’t that what he wants?
“Come back here,” he said in a deep and threatening voice.
“You were the one who told me to go sleep in the room next door. I’m sorry, I’m going to scram now!” She pulled the metal door open.
Next, he heard the sounds of the metal door being closed again, followed by silence.
Rong Yan stared at the thick curtain, as his handsome face grew petulant and his dark, gemstone-like eyes glowed. He soon smirked mysteriously.
Luo Anning, you’re really brave, aren’t you? I hope you won’t disappoint me.
In the room next door, there was a straw mat on a wooden bed and the dark gray blanket was so tattered and torn that it was heavily discolored.
Luo Anning lifted the thin blanket with her fingertip and slowly moved onto the bed. The room was extremely warm because there was no air conditioner. Hence, she broke into a sweat just by laying there quietly.
She suddenly felt a strong urge to go back to the room next door. She thought, I was just asking for it by coming out in a moment of spite. However, wouldn’t I give Rong Yan a chance to mock me for the rest of my life if I go back now?
No, no, no, I can’t go back. I must save my pride. I mustn’t go back!
I’ll just bear with it. It’s only going to be for a night anyway. It won’t kill me.
After making up her mind, Luo Anning let her mind go blank and she closed her eyes…
“Ah! There’s a ghost! Don’t… don’t take me away. Don’t get near me. Go away… there’s a ghost! Save me… save me… ”
Just as Luo Anning was about to fall asleep, a horrible sound came from the room next door, followed by a sinister laughter.
The insidious sounds made everything seem extremely horrifying.
Luo Anning opened her eyes abruptly and stared at the corridor which was lit up by the dim, yellow light. Her heart pounded rapidly and she wondered, how could there be a ghost? It can’t be. How could there be ghosts in this world?
Before she could even rea.s.sure herself, she heard the sinister sounds again, which was a miscellaneous mix of sounds of a chainsaw and a loud scream.
She could not help but imagine a grotesque-looking man ripping up a human using a chainsaw. The victim had yet to die and was screaming and watching him attack her with the chainsaw…
“Ah… ” The thought of it made Luo Anning scream as she covered her ears.
She knew that Rong Yan was watching a horror flick!
He had also intentionally increased the volume to the extent that she would hear it clearly. The volume was so high that the sounds actually echoed!
Rong Yan’s lips curled into an evil smile when he heard Luo Anning screaming. Hah, you’re so incompetent. I bet you’re going to send yourself to me soon.
Just like he had expected, Luo Anning gave up in less than five minutes and raised the white flag.
She begged the police officers who were guarding outside the room to open the metal door. She then returned to the princess-themed room pitifully and glanced at Rong Yan who was enjoying the horror flick. “Rong Yan, can you switch it off?”
