When Xia Fanyi came out of the kitchen, he was holding a glass of water in his hand.
In the transparent glass, the supposedly clear and pure water seemed to be mixed with something, making it slightly cloudy.
Xia Fanyi walked a few steps, noticed Yan Shiying staring at his hands, and explained, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, I added some honey to it."
"You have just been frightened. Drink something sweet to suppress the fright."
As if he didn't know what was going on in her mind at the moment, he put the glass in front of Yan Shiying's desk as if nothing had happened.
"Drink it."
Xia Fanyi looked straight at Yan Shiying, her deep eyes were silently urging in her loose hair.
The moment he spoke, Yan Shiying felt an unknown shaking.
As if the entire floor was experiencing an earthquake, the continuous shaking came from the bottom of the feet, and disappeared after a while.
Yan Shiying was slightly startled, and glanced at Xia Fanyi, only to find that he hadn't noticed anything.
"Thanks."
Yan Shiying nodded politely at him, took the cup, but didn't drink it.
Looking around the house, Yan Shiying said inadvertently, "By the way, where did you put that folder?"
Xia Fanyi was about to sit opposite her, when he heard this, he froze again.
"You want to see it now?"
"Yeah." Yan Shiying stroked the cup and smiled at Xia Fanyi, "I'm sorry to trouble you."
"Then wait a minute."
When Xia Fanyi's figure completely disappeared from Yan Shiying's sight, Yan Shiying's eyes suddenly sank.
She glanced at the water glass, she didn't intend to drink it, she just wanted to leave here quickly.
Although Xia Fanyi has already gone to find the folder, she doesn't know when she will come back.
Yan Shiying glanced at the entrance.
The entrance is very close to where Xia Fanyi left, and there will be a loud "beep" sound when the door is closed, which is especially noticeable in the quiet surroundings.
She was still wearing high heels today, and Yan Shiying couldn't guarantee that she would be able to leave without being caught before she made any noise.
Thinking of the underground prison that Xia Fanyi told her before, Yan Shiying unconsciously clenched the glass in her hand.
There must be a chance to escape.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, followed by an impatient male voice: "Xia Fanyi? Xia Fanyi, are you inside?"
It was Yue Xiuning.
Yan Shiying's eyes suddenly brightened.
Xia Fanyi had already come out of another room, holding a leather bag in his hand.
He opened the door, and Yue Xiuning stood at the door, complaining with an unhappy expression, "What are you doing? Why are you so slow..."
He was only halfway through when he saw Yan Shiying behind Xia Fanyi.
Yue Xiuning froze suddenly, stared at Yan Shiying for several seconds, and then turned away with a dark face.
"... How could she be here with you?"
Yue Xiuning spoke in a dull voice, not even saying her name.
Xia Fanyi didn't answer, and turned to block Yue Xiuning's way in, and also blocked Yan Shiying's view of Yue Xiuning.
"What's the matter with you?"
Yan Shiying was blocked from seeing, and couldn't see Yue Xiuning's expression at the moment.
He only heard that Yue Xiuning was silent for a moment, and then Xia Fanyi immediately expelled him, "If you have nothing to do, come back another day, I don't have time to entertain you now..."
Seeing that Xia Fanyi was about to close the door with the other hand, Yan Shiying's heart skipped a beat.
She immediately put the glass on the table and stood up, "Yue Xiuning."
Yan Shiying walked over, and when she heard her footsteps, Xia Fanyi turned her head coldly, and looked at her rightly.
Yan Shiying pretended not to see it, and looked past him at Yue Xiuning, "When are you going to return the things I left at your house last time?"
Yue Xiuning's breath was stagnant, and he turned his head to look at Yan Shiying.
Yan Shiying had never been to his house, so if she told such an obvious lie in front of Xia Fanyi, wouldn't she be afraid of being exposed by him? Or…
Yue Xiuning glanced at Xia Fanyi.
"I happen to be free today." Yue Xiuning took a few steps towards the room, and Chaoyan Shiying raised her chin, "Well, you can go get it with me now."
Yan Shiying thought for a short while, then nodded, "Okay."
Xia Fanyi saw Yan Shiying nodded in agreement, and said in a flat voice, "Don't you want to read those people's materials?" He raised the kraft paper in his hand.
"Let's make an appointment another day."
As Yan Shiying said, she was about to walk towards Yue Xiuning, but was suddenly grabbed by a hand.
Turning his head to the side, Xia Fanyi held her with heavy eyes.
"do not go."
"Yan Shiying...stay here."
The strength on his wrist was almost like shackles holding her tightly, it didn't hurt, but Yan Shiying immediately let out a low cry of pain, and frowned tightly, as if she was being pulled in pain and unable to break free.
Yue Xiuning immediately changed his expression, stepped forward and twisted Xia Fanyi's arm away forcefully.
"let go."
Yue Xiuning held Xia Fanyi's collar, and lowered his voice dangerously: "She already said that she wants to leave with me, right?"
As the two approached, Yue Xiuning said in an almost inaudible voice: "Xia Fanyi, don't think I don't know what you want..."
Xia Fanyi's eyes froze, he let go of Yan Shiying, and vigorously waved Yue Xiuning's hand away, "Get lost."
He said coldly: "Don't come to hinder me."
The tit-for-tat atmosphere between the two seemed to be fighting in the next second, and they were confronting each other and refusing to give in.
Yan Shiying glanced at Yue Xiuning, then at the exit that was honestly blocked by him, and sighed in her heart.
The next moment, Xia Fanyi's muffled groan was suddenly heard.
Yue Xiuning punched Xia Fanyi in the abdomen, and while he curled up in pain, Yue Xiuning grabbed Yan Shiying's hand.
"Walk!"
Yan Shiying was staggered by him and almost fell.
After a few steps, she stabilized her body through the strength of the two holding each other, followed Yue Xiuning and quickly walked out of the mansion.
A silver sports car was parked at the door, with smooth and dazzling lines shining under the light.
Yue Xiuning seemed to be in a hurry, while watching behind him vigilantly, he pushed Yan Shiying into the co-pilot.
"Get in the car!"
He seemed to be afraid that Xia Fanyi would come after him, and as soon as he saw Yan Shiying entered the co-pilot, he immediately started the car, and drove out of the mansion with the sound of the engine starting.
When driving for a certain distance, Yue Xiuning checked the rear of the car through the rearview mirror from time to time.
After realizing that Xia Fanyi did not catch up, Yue Xiuning relaxed his tense body and glanced at Yan Shiying.
"It seems that you have noticed it too."
"What?"
"Xia Fanyi, he...is not the same as before." Yue Xiuning pursed his lips tightly, looking a little irritable, "It's a good thing you asked me to take you away just now, you should be careful these few days, especially when you go home the way…”
Halfway through speaking, Yue Xiuning stopped speaking, and remained silent with a stinky face, as if he was secretly regretting the unnecessary words of concern that he had just said.
"Where are you going next?" Yue Xiuning asked with a straight face, tapping the steering wheel rhythmically with his fingers, "I know there is a safe place, why don't I take you there."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Yue Xiuning glanced at Yan Shiying, and tapped the steering wheel more and more frequently.
"No, take me home."
Hearing that Yan Shiying rejected his proposal without thinking, Yue Xiuning's face suddenly sank.
He remained silent with a cold face, and never took the initiative to talk to her again.
Yan Shiying, however, took advantage of this section of the journey and began to think about the inexplicable vibration in the soles of Xia Fanyi's feet when she spoke just now.
In fact, Yan Shiying had felt slight vibrations one after another since getting Yue Xiuning to agree to be her secret lover before, but the vibrations at that time were not obvious, and would stop soon after it lasted for a while.
This shock was unexpectedly continuous and strong. There is no doubt that it started when Xia Fanyi gave her the glass mixed with an unknown liquid and urged her to drink it. There might be some connection between the two that she didn't know about. .
Yan Shiying suspects that the world is about to collapse, but perhaps what conditions need to be fulfilled to completely destroy the core of the world.
But what are the conditions
Since the shock has something to do with Xia Fanyi's personality change, can it be... is it really necessary to be completely imprisoned by Xia Fanyi, or let him do whatever he wants with her, in order to truly destroy the world
Or to put it another way... fulfilling the conditions requires her to have some physical relationship with every male lead.
Yan Shiying pondered for a while, then suddenly said, "What is that safe place you mentioned?"
She suddenly changed her tone, Yue Xiuning was a little taken aback.
"I'll take you."
Driving all the way to a magnificent hotel, the doorman greeted Yue Xiuning skillfully as soon as he saw him. It seemed that he was a frequent visitor here.
Yue Xiuning brought Yan Shiying into the hotel.
He said that the top suite here is open to him all year round, and he can give her his access card to use, and the security and privacy measures here are excellent, among the best in the entire city A.
"Just tell the person in charge of the suite if you encounter any problems. The front desk will call me immediately if something happens. The security here is also very skilled..."
Yue Xiuning explained carefully to her, as if to reassure her.
Yan Shiying listened calmly, nodding from time to time to show that she was listening.
As Yue Xiuning spoke, he unconsciously smiled.
The person who received them opened the special elevator with their fingerprints and sent them to the upper floors.
The high-rise corridors are very quiet, a kind of silence that seems to be isolated from the world. Even the floor is covered with thick plush carpets, and there is no sound at all when walking on it.
After the reception staff sent them up to the floor, they watched them leave. Yue Xiuning walked to a door and opened it, "You can rest here for a few days."
Yan Shiying walked in and took a look inside.
The room is well-equipped with all kinds of facilities, bright and spacious, and there is a long corridor connecting each room. The room design is exactly the same as the lobby of this hotel, the whole room is the same as the whole floor, the silence is scary.
There was a clear sound of closing the door behind him, especially loud in the quiet air.
Yue Xiuning closed the door, walked up and said in a casual tone: "Look at the room, what else do you want, I'll send someone to bring it up."
Yan Shiying just asked lightly, "If I want to go down, where else can I go besides taking the special elevator?"
"There is only a special elevator." Yue Xiuning laughed, "Why, you just came here thinking about how to get out?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of someone moving from the depths of the room.
Immediately afterwards, someone came out of it.
"Why did you come? I've been waiting for you for a long time."
A familiar voice came from the door, and Yan Shiying turned around in disbelief.
Xia Fanyi, who was supposed to be in his private house, appeared in front of the two of them at this moment, walking out with a smile on his face.
Seeing Xia Fanyi's gaze, Yan Shiying was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly realized that he wasn't talking to her when he said "I've been waiting for a long time".
but...
Yue Xiu Ning.
Yue Xiuning behind him chuckled, "Sorry."
The attitude is natural and friendly, and the tit-for-tat that was full of gunpowder in the private house has completely disappeared.
After the two looked at each other and smiled, they simultaneously set their eyes on Yan Shiying who was standing between them.
A silent and suppressed sense of danger spreads in the air...
