Early release…
The time on the mobile phone just stopped at 8 o"clock. Ye Sui always arrived home around 8 o"clock. As Chen Shu would also arrive home at 8 o"clock on time and Ye She didn"t want to face so many ghosts alone.
If Chen Shu was not home, she would be very afraid.
When Ye Sui entered the room, there was no light seen in the living room. Ye Sui felt it was a little strange. She fumbled for the switch on the wall. With a crash, the lights lit up and filled the room. But the house was empty and Chen Shu"s presence couldn"t be found in the house.
On weekdays, Chen Shu"s shoes would be neatly placed on the porch, but this time it was not.
“Chen Shu," Ye Sui called out while s.h.i.+vering. She wanted to get a response from Chen Shu, yet in the empty living room, only the wind noise echoed in her ears.
It was really strange. Chen Shu always strictly abides by his time. He was never late. Did he do something today?
Ye Sui dared not go into her room alone. She could see from a distance that a few ghosts were outside the window on the second floor. Since Chen Shu was not there, those ghosts would easily get in.
Ye Sui sat on the sofa where Chen Shu was often seated. She took a coat and put it over her body, tightly sealing her head.
The mobile phone that Ye Sui was carrying was placed inside her coat. As time pa.s.sed by, it was endless suffering for Ye Sui.
All of a sudden her phone screen lit up, showing it was already ten o"clock in the evening. Yet, Chen Shu was still not home. She was about to call Chen Shu, but then, all of a sudden, the door opened.
Ye Sui took off her coat and looked at the door. Seeing Chen Shu, who had his head lower to change his shoes. As Ye Sui observed Chen Shu"s movements, she frowned slightly.
Chen Shu did not place his shoes on the shoe rack in order as usual. But placed them in some disorderly manner. Ye Sui could tell something was off. She felt that Chen Shu was a little different tonight.
Chen Shu hung his head and did not look at Ye Sui. His mood was low and the fragrance that surrounded him was filled with faint wine.
According to Ye Sui, Chen Shu had never drunk alcohol.
Ye Sui uttered in doubtful tone, “Chen Shu?”
At this time, Chen Shu was first like a wandering soul with nowhere to go. His dark eyes were bloodshot, and his body seemed to be exhausted to the extreme.
Chen Shu replied softly to Ye Sui, “Hm.” But when Chen Shu opened his mouth, his eyes also was not focused, so he just instinctively answered questions from Ye Sui.
With this word, Chen Shu did not continue to speak and went straight to his room. Though Ye Sui and Chen Shu had been living under the same roof for so long, they actually had no real communication.
According to Chen Shu"s current state, Ye Sui thought it might be better to leave him alone for a while.
It was getting late and Ye Sui had to go to the set production tomorrow morning. After she went back to her room and washed up, she went to bed directly. But she just couldn"t sleep well.
When Ye Sui was just sleeping in a daze, she was suddenly awakened by a quick knocked on the door.
Ye Sui thought she was dreaming. She opened her eyes and looked at the dark ceiling and s.p.a.ced out.
Bang bang bang—
The knock on the silent night was abrupt.
Ye Sui suddenly woke up. She lifted the quilt, got off the bed and moved to the door bit by bit. Ye Sui opened the door without a second thought.
All the lights in the house were out, only the moonlight came in through the window at the end of the corridor that spread a thin light spot on the floor.
Chen Shu was standing by the door, his body was tall. Ye Sui felt that the light in front of her was blocked by half. Chen Shu was covering the light behind his back. His face was hidden in the shadow and she could not see it clearly.
He didn"t seem to be awake. He looked more like sleepwalking.
Ye Sui was bare feet on the ground, the floor was cold, she stretched out her hand and waved in front of Chen Shu. Chen Shu completely had no response.
He vaguely looked like a lonely child.
Ye Sui"s tone was confused: “Chen Shu, you-” Are you all right?
Before Ye Sui had finished speaking, Chen Shu suddenly opened his mouth.
Chen Shu was completely different from what he had shown to outsiders before. The original clear voice became empty, hiding a trace of uneasiness and fragility.
“Don"t leave me.”
