Bai Lin opened the window, and he quickly jumped in, landing without a sound.
Fiery Tom moved forward and circled behind Bai Lin the moment he landed. He locked her shoulders and pressed the hand holding the gun against Bai Lin’s jaw.
The metal was cold. Bai Lin struggled uncomfortably, but the muzzle came closer.
Fiery Tom sniffed the fragrant scent of lemon shower gel on Bai Lin. His voice was very soft, like a lover’s whisper. “I’ve hacked all the surveillance cameras tonight. Can we talk properly now?
He placed his finger on the side of Bai Lin’s neck. The blood under her delicate skin was flowing with energy, from her heart to her limbs. If he were to shoot her now, her delicate neck would explode into a beautiful bloom of blood.
Fiery Tom curled his lips and used a little more force, but Bai Lin’s pulse was extremely stable. She did not seem to be aware that she was being held hostage.
He smiled happily. “It’s you, right?”
The question felt out of the blue. Bai Lin sighed. She grabbed the numbing tendon on Fiery Tom’s wrist and quickly s.n.a.t.c.hed his gun. Fiery Tom was caught off guard, but he quickly reacted and reached out to fight back.
The two exchanged blows for a few short seconds. Bai Lin’s strength and techniques were much higher than Fiery Tom’s that the latter was quickly kicked away by her and the gun ultimately landed in Bai Lin’s hand.
Bai Lin shot him in the calf without hesitation, but there was no bullet.
Fiery Tom laughed. Every part of his body was in pain, and he climbed up from the ground in a sorry state, but he looked like a winner. “How’d I be so silly to engage in a physical combat with Bilina?
Bai Lin sighed and threw the gun away. She sat back on the bed and said, “How many times have I told you? I’m not the person you think I am. My name is Bai Lin and I’m only here to partic.i.p.ate in the show. I’m not as powerful as you think. ”
Could an ordinary person beat him up like this?
Fiery Tom was still smiling, but he did not refute. He exuded a relaxed and happy vibe.
Bai Lin had already been exposed, but she had to keep up her act. She took out
a b.u.t.terfly knife from under her pillow and played with it. The blade reflected the moonlight, and it looked both dangerous and agile in her hand.
Fiery Tom’s expression became more heated, like a believer worshipping his G.o.d. He did not dare go to the bed, so he squatted by Bai Lin’s bed and looked up at her, his amber eyes full of love and admiration.
He did not say anything, and Bai Lin did not ask anything. For a while, there was only the sound of the b.u.t.terfly knife cutting through the air in the room.
After completing the set of actions, Bai Lin kept the knife and tossed it into his arms.
Fiery Tom was stunned. “For me?
“Yes.” Bai Lin’s expression was cold. She quickly changed the topic. “I don’t want to get into troubles.”
Her eyes were lowered. She was not wearing slippers, so she curled her toes in from being a little cold. After Fiery Tom carefully put away the b.u.t.terfly knife, he immediately found her slippers, gently held her ankles, and devoutly put the shoes on for her.
Bai Lin’s foot was on his knee. Fiery Tom must have fought with someone as the clothing on his knee was torn and the skin was bruised. She stepped on it with force as if she was taking revenge, but the smile on Fiery Tom’s face grew even wider.
Bai Lin looked at him and sneered, “I said I don’t want to cause troubles. Do you understand?”
Fiery Tom immediately nodded. “Understood, Lin-jie.”
“Then go. And stop clinging to me. It’s kind of annoying,” Bai Lin said.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Fiery Tom’s expression changed. The excitement and thrill on his face froze before it gradually turned into a gloomy killing intent.
“Xiao Lin? Are you alright? Open the door.”
It was Yan Ruo’s voice outside the door.
Bai Lin gave Fiery Tom a look, telling him to leave quickly. Fiery Tom pursed his lips and looked at Bai Lin with a complicated expression. He quickly said next to her ear, “Lin-jie, be careful of Yan Ruo.”
Then, he jumped out of the window without looking back.
Bai Lin lived on the fourth floor and it was about 15 or 16 meters tall. Fiery Tom was indeed like a cat. It was so high up but he jumped as he wished.
After a few seconds, Bai Lin went to open the door. Yan Ruo, who was also wearing pajamas, was standing outside.
Yan Ruo looked at Bai Lin, and his finger gently stroked the area where her chin and neck met. It was like a feather landing on the surface of a lake.
“Why is it red?”
