Chapter 41: The Figure Behind

  Meow~

  Xiao Yan opened her eyes and found herself surrounded by darkness. She heard Xiao Lv's cry and turned to see two green lights flashing beside her.

  Xiao Yan was about to get up, but found a wooden board blocking her way, right in front of her...

  It's under the bed! Xiaoyan was terrified, at a loss and stunned in place. A chilling coolness came from behind, wrapping around her with no escape.

  "Meow~"

  Xiao Lu seemed to know that her master was afraid, and she gently licked Xiaoyan's cheek with her small tongue, wet and cool, stimulating Xiaoyan's senses.

  After a long time, Xiaoyan hugged the black cat in her arms tightly, crawled out from under the bed, turned on the light, and sat dazedly on the floor as if she had fainted.

  What did all these nightmares represent? When would it all end? Xiaoyan sat there thinking, fear and despair had already numbed her, she wanted to cry but had no tears. All the questions seemed to have no answers.

  Another long and sleepless night...

  Outside the window, small snowflakes are floating, a vast white landscape, like a dreamy fairyland.

  Early, Tong Xuan had finished breakfast and left for work. Xiao Yan changed into her school uniform, ate breakfast, and stared out the window at the falling snow, as if recalling something. After a long time, Xiao Yan finally prepared to leave for school, almost late.

  "Xiao Lü, be good and wait for me at home." After instructing the black cat in her arms, Xiaoyan put on her backpack and went out the door.

  Every step on the snowy ground, Xiaoyan walked extra carefully, afraid of seeing something terrible. Snowflakes fell on her long straight hair, looking beautiful and desolate.

  "Tong Xiaoyan, what's with the person behind your back?" Just as Xiaoyan was walking into the school gate step by step, she was blocked by Yanxi and his gang.

  Xiao Yan listened to Yan Xi's lukewarm words, but her heart was already in a panic. She turned her head back and looked around, only to find nothing but a vast expanse of white snowy ground...

  "Really, there is a white figure behind you. We all saw it." Yan Xi seemed to have seen through Xiao Yan's half-believing and half-doubting eyes, and continued to speak. The girls behind her chimed in agreement.

  Is there really someone? Who is it? Is it 'her'? Xiaoyan thought to herself, and couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine. But when she looked back again, there was clearly nothing...

  "If you continue to scare her like this, I'll let you experience it too." A cold and metallic voice came from afar. As he turned his head to look over, Ye Chen walked towards Xiao Yan with a furrowed brow, step by step.

  Yan Xi saw it was Ye Chen, panicked, and wished he could find a hole in the ground to escape from, speechless.

  "Ye Chen..." Xiao Yan looked at Ye Chen's angry face and didn't know how to break the awkward silence.

  "There's nothing behind you, hurry up and go, or you'll be late." Ye Chen smiled gently at Xiao Yan, then continued, "I have some things to discuss with Yan Xi."

  "En..." Xiaoyan responded with a nod and left understandingly, but her heart was puzzled, what did he want to say that she couldn't hear?

  Yan Xi's heart was both surprised and delighted, and he had already imagined what moving words Ye Chen would say.

  "Amusement park, what did you do?" Ye Chen asked coldly after Xiao Yan left.

  "What... what amusement park? I... I don't know." Yan Xi hesitated, stuttering in response.

  "Who else could it be besides you?" The words sounded like a question, but coming from Ye Chen's mouth, they were laced with absolute certainty.

  Yan Xi did not respond, her two hands clasped behind her back, thinking about how she should respond now that the matter had been exposed.

  "If you dare to move her again, I will return these tricks tenfold." Ye Chen walked closer to Yan Xi, saying word by word with a fully warning tone. After that, he went straight upstairs.

  Yan Xi stood still, with a thousand unwilling thoughts in her heart. She wanted to shout out loud that she did everything for Ye Chen! But she couldn't, it would only make him hate her more. She had to endure, endure until Tong Xiao Xian no longer existed, then Ye Chen would belong to her. Yan Xi thought to herself, suppressing all the unwillingness and anger in her heart, and walked up the stairs with a smile.
