Chapter 74 Scare You to Death_1
"Shen Cheng, Wanqian, I’m so bored all by myself underground. From now on, your big sister will come to see you every night, KEKEKE." A string of a woman’s laughter floated in through the window.
"What happened? Why did we hear someone screaming?" Shen Congming and his family of three came down from the third floor. They looked at Shen Cheng, who stood by the window, pale and stunned, and at Wanqian, who had fainted. Upon closer inspection, one could see Shen Cheng’s legs trembling slightly.
"Brother Cheng, what are you doing here? What happened?" Shen Jia, dressed in her pajamas, walked over to Shen Cheng and tugged at his sleeve.
"Did you hear anything?" After a long pause, Shen Cheng slowly found his voice. His eyes remained fixed on the pitch-black darkness outside the window, his hands clutching Wanqian tightly.
"No, we only heard a scream. What’s wrong with Sister Wanqian?" Shen Jia shook her head, looking at Shen Cheng with some concern.
Shen Cheng withdrew his gaze. Seeing the three of them—Shen Congming, his wife, and Shen Jia—shake their heads in unison, his heart sank. He picked up Wanqian, his steps somewhat unsteady. "It’s nothing, she just fainted. You all go back and rest."
He shook his own head then, his normally gentle face now livid. He picked Wanqian up again but, instead of returning to their room, went directly to the guest room on the fourth floor.
His steps faltered, his figure swayed as he held Wanqian tightly in his arms. In the fourth-floor room, Shen Cheng threw Wanqian onto the bed and then sat limply on it himself, gasping for breath, his eyes wide. At this moment, his mind was filled with the image of Wanyou turning back with a smile, and Wanyou’s parting words echoed in his ears.
