Chapter 25

Views:

Because Lan Ning had just taken a bath and still had the smell of bath milk on her body, the night wind blew it all into Yan Ruyu's heart and lungs.

He has never taken illegal drugs, so he doesn't know what it feels like, but it should be the same as now, and it can paralyze people's nerves.

There was still a little panic in Lan Ning's eyes, and the slight water vapor remaining at the tip of his hair made Yan Ruyu's eyes also moisten.

He has never hugged a girl before, so a girl's body can be so soft... Well, it seems to be a little soft.

Lan Ning felt the hand covering his chest, he was stunned for a second, and then punched with a blushing face: "Yan Ruyu, you die!"

She used 10% of her strength to hit Yan Ruyu on the corner of his mouth. Yan Ruyu grunted in pain, and took advantage of the situation to get away from her.

The corner of his mouth seemed to be torn, Yan Ruyu stuck out his tongue and licked it lightly, there was a faint smell of blood.

"As expected of a person who has punched a sandbag, he is really ruthless."

"I still think it's a light hand!" Lan Ning got up from the bed angrily, as if he hadn't vented his anger yet, he rushed forward and wanted to punch him again.

Yan Ruyu received that punch just now because he was not prepared, but now it is not so easy to punch him a second time. He dodged Lanning's fist and looked at her sideways: "What are you doing?"

"Hit a pervert!" Lan Ning said angrily.

Yan Ruyu seemed to have thought of something, and his expression became a little unnatural. He pursed his lips and said to her, "It was an accident just now. I saw you were about to fall, so I went up to help you."

"If you hadn't barged in suddenly, would I have fallen? What are you doing in my room without sleeping at night?" Lanning asked relentlessly.

Yan Ruyu said, "I heard your scream, so I came here to take a look."

Lan Ning put his arms around his collar and looked at him warily: "Why is there a sudden power outage?"

"I don't know. The whole villa is out of electricity. I'm going to check the switch."

Lan Ning thought for a while and said, "Then go and check it quickly! By the way, forget about what happened just now!"

Yan Ruyu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled softly: "You look flat when lying down, I hardly feel anything."

Lanning: "..."

Before she got angry, Yan Ruyu's gaze swept across her bare legs lightly again: "But the legs are not bad."

Lanning: "..."

She picked up the bag that was placed aside, and slammed Yan Ruyu's head fiercely: "Get out of here immediately! If you don't get out, I'll kill you!"

Yan Ruyu was typed out by her, and the door slammed shut in front of him.

He touched the corner of his bloodshot mouth, looked at the closed door, went back to the room, found a flashlight, and went downstairs to check the switch.

Lan Ning took advantage of this time to put on all her clothes and pants. She didn't know where there was a flashlight in the room, so she had to temporarily use the phone's built-in flashlight to illuminate it. Her hair got a little wet when she took a shower just now, she took a dry towel in the bathroom, wiped her hair, and walked out.

As soon as she came out, she heard two knocks on the door. She frowned and shouted at the door: "What's the matter?"

Yan Ruyu said outside: "I checked the switch just now, and there is no problem. It should be that the circuit is broken somewhere. It is too late and someone will come to fix it tomorrow. You should go to bed early today."

Lan Ning curled his lips and said, "Alright then."

After a while of silence outside, Yan Ruyu's voice came again: "You shouldn't be afraid of the dark, right?"

"Don't be afraid! I'm going to sleep now, and it will be dawn when I wake up!"

"That's best, good night."

Lanning wrinkled his nose and ignored him, and climbed onto the bed by himself. Yan Ruyu seemed to stand at the door for a while before he heard the sound of his leaving footsteps.

Lan Ning was covered with the quilt to get sleepy, but because of the surprise just now, she was still quite excited, and she couldn't fall asleep even after trying hard for a long time. She took out her phone and listened to nursery rhymes for a while, before finally falling asleep gradually.

A high-octave voice suddenly came from the earphones, waking her up. Lanning took off the earphones and checked the time on the phone.

It's only been an hour, and she thought it was almost dawn.

The battery of the mobile phone has turned red. She changed the mode to energy saving and began to feel drowsy again.

Without the music in the ears, the surroundings seemed extraordinarily quiet. The shadows of the trees outside the window were elongated by the moonlight and shone onto the indoor wall, like monsters with teeth and claws.

Lan Ning really wasn't afraid of the dark, but in this villa in the deep mountains and old forests where there was a power outage, it was impossible to say that he was not guilty at all.

To make matters worse, she feels very hungry now.

In order to get angry with Yan Ruyu at night, she didn't eat dinner, but only ate half a piece of bread to pad her stomach. Now her stomach is empty, and she is so hungry that she can't sleep even more.

She got up and looked through her travel bag, only to find that all the snacks she brought had been eaten up.

When thinking of snacks, she thought of the pudding eaten by Yan Ruyu. If it wasn't for him, she wouldn't be in such a miserable situation now!

There is still food in the refrigerator downstairs, is she going to stay until dawn, or go down to find something to eat

Lan Ning hesitated for a long time, but finally couldn't resist the empty stomach, picked up the phone and went out.

The downside of having a too big house is not only that it makes you feel lonely, but it can also make you feel like there are people everywhere in the house.

Lanning felt this way now, at the corner of the front corridor, at the stairway, on the sofa... and behind her.

She swallowed her saliva and didn't dare to look back. She held the phone that looked like a life-saving straw and turned on the flashlight. Just now, in order to save power, she only used the cold light of the screen, but now she thinks it should be brighter.

When she passed the door of Yan Ruyu's room, she hesitated for a second whether to ask him to go down with her, but thinking of the hand on her chest just now, she resolutely gave up this idea.

She walked down the stairs step by step, not even daring to open her eyes too wide. There seemed to be a wind blowing outside, and there was another rustling sound.

"Don't be afraid, you are a highly educated person, don't believe in these strange things!" Reassuring himself in his heart, Lanning walked towards the kitchen. Before her toes landed, she heard footsteps behind her.

Pat, clack.

Lanning: "..."

Wait, wait, maybe I was too nervous and misheard.

She stood there holding her breath, and the footsteps behind her did not disappear, and they were getting closer and closer to her.

The battery of the mobile phone was exhausted at this moment, the body vibrated and turned off automatically.

Lanning: "..."

After the flashlight suddenly disappeared, the room was much darker than before. Fortunately, there are two large floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, so that the room will not be plunged into darkness.

But the dark woods outside the window deepened the fear in people's hearts.

She was still hesitating whether to turn her head, the footsteps were already very close to her. She clenched her fist silently, and when she felt something standing behind her, she screamed and punched: "Ah!"

"What are you doing?" Yan Ruyu grabbed her fist and looked down at her, "Are you addicted to punching?"

Lan Ning took a few breaths, stared at him and said, "Why did you go downstairs without saying a word? Is it fun to scare people?"

Yan Ruyu slightly raised his eyebrows and asked, "Didn't you say you're not afraid of the dark?"

"Then have you ever heard of 'people scare people and scare people to death'?"

"I'm the one scared by you, right? With a sudden scream and a punch, a person with a near heart can be scared to death by you."

Lan Ning pursed her lips and struggled twice: "Let go."

Yan Ruyu let go of her hand and turned on the flashlight: "What are you doing down here? Didn't you tell you to go to bed early?"

"I'm hungry, come down to eat something." Lanning snatched the flashlight from his hand and walked towards the kitchen.

This person obviously had a flashlight, but he didn't turn it on. He clearly intended to scare her!

Yan Ruyu walked behind her, with a slight mockery in his voice: "Who told you not to eat dinner?"

Lan Ning turned around, looked at him and said, "Anyway, you lost, you talked to me first."

Confucianism: "..."

"The loser has to do something for the winner."

Yan Ruyu raised his eyebrows: "I didn't seem to say that at first."

"What I'm saying now, anyway, you have to hand over the manuscript to me tomorrow." Lan Ning seemed to think of something, and suddenly looked at him with some horror, "Did you save the manuscript when the power went out?"

When they were writing their graduation thesis in senior year, there was a classmate in their dormitory. Halfway through writing the thesis, the power went out, but she hadn't had time to save it.

She still remembers the heart-piercing screams of that classmate.

Yan Ruyu glanced at her casually, and said, "Don't be stupid, how could I still be writing manuscripts at such a late hour."

Lanning: "..."

Yes, hehe.

She opened the refrigerator and looked inside for a while, then asked Yan Ruyu beside her, "Didn't you say this is a week's worth of food, why is there so little left?"

"One week refers to the amount for me alone, and now you are added, and you are especially good at eating."

Lanning: "..."

You eat a lot too, okay

There was a sealed bowl of rice in the refrigerator, which should be left over from the night. Although she didn't eat it, Yan Ruyu didn't throw it away, and put it in the refrigerator.

Lanning took out the bowl, looked at him and said, "You kept this?"

Yan Ruyu nodded: "I already guessed that you would be hungry tonight with your appetite, so I saved it for you. You can use it to make fried rice."

Lanning: "..."

Although she wanted to do something different, she found that only fried rice was the fastest and most suitable.

She cracked an egg and started to fry rice, Yan Ruyu left the torch in the kitchen, just to shine on her, and went out to find candles by herself.

While Lanning was cooking rice, he found a lot of candles and lit them one by one, gradually lighting up the room.

Yan Ruyu put a few candles on the dining table, and asked Lanning who was sitting opposite: "Do you feel like having a candlelight dinner?"

Lan Ning took the chopsticks and gave him a blank look, not wanting to answer such a mentally handicapped question.

She ate in silence, Yan Ruyu sat across from her and looked at her. Maybe because he felt a little bored, he said unwillingly, "Actually, just now, I didn't feel nothing at all."

Lanning: "..."

"Go away!" She angrily smashed the chopsticks in her hand.
