Chapter 512: Big Brother He Returns
Shen Mianmian’s heart had leapt to her throat. She didn’t dare to breathe heavily; the footsteps reached the kitchen door and then, suddenly, stopped again. The person seemed to be peering into the kitchen. Subconsciously, she held her breath, her face turning bright red from the effort.
After a while, the footsteps seemed to be leaving the kitchen. She slowly breathed a sigh of relief, planning to peek out at the kitchen entrance. But as soon as her head poked out, a dark figure rushed toward her. Before she could react, someone had grabbed her by the neck and twisted her hand behind her back.
"Ah..."
She instinctively let out a scream. The person gripping her arm seemed startled by her cry, and their grip loosened momentarily before pulling her tightly against their chest. Her face pressed against his chest; it was too dark to see anything beyond a dark silhouette. Yet judging by the person’s strength and height, her chances of escaping were slim.
This is it, she thought. Does this person intend to rob and assault me?
With this thought, she quickly calmed down and said, "I, my eyesight is poor, it’s dark, and I can’t see your face at all. I’ll just stay in the kitchen and won’t go out. You take whatever you want, I won’t stop you. At most, you’ll be charged with theft, which isn’t a big deal. You can take the money and find lots of pretty girls outside. Can you let me go? I promise, I won’t leave the kitchen or make a sound before you leave. If you don’t trust me, you can lock me in the kitchen."
Although she tried to remain calm, her rapid speech betrayed her. She had never spoken so much in one breath, and she almost passed out from lack of air.
"Don’t be afraid, it’s me."
A familiar voice sounded overhead, and at the same time, a large hand gently patted her on the back of the head twice.
"He Nan, big brother?"
Shen Mianmian felt as if she had been transported from hell back to heaven. Her entire body relaxed, her eyes became moist, and she embraced him tightly.
