Since the power outage was caused by a line failure, we can rule out the possibility that the Sheng family planned to murder her.

Chu Zhixin breathed a sigh of relief and slowly moved her fingers away from Sheng Tingye's neck, her body subconsciously trying to distance herself from him.

Unexpectedly, the man's iron-tight arms suddenly grabbed her waist, and then with a force, their bodies were infinitely close to each other.

Chu Zhixin's whole body trembled. He froze and dared not move at all. He stammered and asked: "What... do you mean?"

Sheng Tingye was silent and wrapped his other hand around him, holding him tightly in his arms like a big plush doll.

Chu Zhixin was completely confused. While struggling, he warned: "Sheng Tingye, don't act like a hooligan in the dark. Let me go quickly, or I won't be polite!"

"Don't move!"

Instead of letting go, Sheng Tingye hugged her even tighter, just like a koala, wanting to wrap around Chu Zhi like a tree.

"You guy, you really don't eat the toast but you have to drink it as a penalty. It seems that you don't want your arm anymore. I..."

Chu Zhixin slowly exerted her strength and was about to kick the man away when she heard the sound of sobbing coming from her ears.

Sheng Tingye is crying?!

Chu Zhixin immediately calmed down. He was as surprised as if he found an alien picking his nose. It was so unnatural!

"You...what's wrong with you?"

She asked cautiously out of curiosity.

"You probably don't know, but I have stress trauma. Whenever I go into the dark, I will think of my brother's murder, and my whole body will become tense. I urgently need a fulcrum to rely on, otherwise... the consequences will be serious.

"

Sheng Tingye leaned against her ear, his voice choked with sobs, and he said seriously.

What else is there?!

Chu Zhixin was dubious and asked: "How serious would it be if you didn't have this fulcrum?"

"I would have shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, and eventually my internal organs would fail and I would die."

The words were exaggerated, but coming from the mouth of Sheng Tingye, the flower of the high mountains, no one could doubt them.

Chu Zhixin didn't dare to move any more and let the man hold her, complaining in a low voice: "So... now is my best chance to take your life."

Sheng Tingye tightened his arms, wishing that he could embed his original heart into his body.

Like a cat, he rubbed the tip of his handsome nose intentionally or unintentionally against Chu Zhixin's earlobe, and said in a low voice: "I told you, if you want, then please do."

Under the darkness, you couldn't see your fingers, only each other's breath, hot on each other's skin.

What can't be seen is their appearance, as well as Chu Zhixin's face, which is as red as a peach blossom.

The two of them just hugged each other quietly, which seemed very unreasonable but also very reasonable.

"Who is the 'person' you just asked me for?"

Sheng Tingye's magnetic voice sounded in the dark night.

Chu Zhixin suddenly realized it, and his nerves immediately became tense. He frowned and said aggressively: "Do you really not know, or are you just pretending not to know?"

"If I knew something, I would tell you frankly. I wouldn't have to keep you here all night long, or...did you really hide something from me?"

Sheng Tingye's words were very clever and watertight, and even set a trap for Chu Zhixin.

"It's pitch dark here, and our posture is too strange. As you said, it won't have a good impact. We'd better go out first."

Chu Zhixin fumbled, took out her phone, and prepared to walk towards the door by the light of the flashlight.

The Sheng family has always been rich, and the study room is comparable to the entire house of an ordinary family. There is no lighting, and it is really difficult to reach the door.

As soon as she took out her phone, she saw the text messages and videos sent by Aunt Mei.

"Miss Xinxin, you haven't been able to get through on the phone. Come back quickly. Yuanbao and Tangbao have arrived home. They are fine. Don't worry."

The following video shows Yuanbao and Tangbao happily showing her the cake.

In order to avoid arousing Sheng Tingye's suspicion, she did not turn on the sound or watch the whole video, and quickly turned off the video.

Chu Zhixin used the flashlight that came with her cell phone to break free from Kai Sheng Tingye's restraints, went to the door, and when she turned the door lock, she found that it couldn't be turned open at all.

"Damn, why can't I unscrew this? What's going on?"

I kept banging my heart for a long time, but the door never moved.

Sheng Tingye was like a ghost. He stood behind her at some point and said nonchalantly: "Don't waste your efforts. This lock automatically recognizes faces. It is estimated that the circuit is faulty and the system is also faulty. It has stopped running...
