Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio

  "My reaction has already made it clear that I heard, Ge Fei raised his hand towards me, I was so scared that I hurriedly covered my face: 'Don't kill me? I really... really didn't hear anything!'"

  I've escaped the tiger's mouth, only to enter the wolf's den, nowhere is safe.

  "Hey! Hey! Lin Sijia, what are you so afraid of? I'm not going to eat you up!" Ge Fei said with a scowl on his face as he pulled away my hand.

  I watched him warily, afraid that he would really eat me. Women are indeed changeable; just now I was telling myself to trust him, but when I saw his eyes turn green, I was so frightened that my soul was gone.

  I saw me shrinking, Ge Fei pulled me over with a grasp, tightly pinching my wrist, and said with utmost seriousness: "Lin Sijia, no matter what you hear or see, just remember that I will never harm you. If I really wanted to harm you, why would I have saved you last night?"

  What he said seems to make sense too, if he wanted to harm me, why would he save me last night. I nodded: "Uh."

  Damn, if you didn't say that, I wouldn't know how to react either. You see, the man in front of me now is no longer the Ge Fei from ten years ago who only slept outside the walls and got tattoos to look like a punk.

  Perhaps disliking my dull expression, Ge Fei put on a very rascal-like attitude and placed his hand on my shoulder, looking down at me with a smile and said: "Hey, my Lin Miss, you're scared by this little thing? Are you still the Lin Queen who can cover three heads with a single burlap sack?"

  Queen's fart! That's just a superficial phenomenon, if you don't pretend to be fierce, how can you scare people? Of course, I didn't say this out loud, and instead pointed lazily at the door and said: "Your friend won't fight with our general manager, will he?"

  "It should...not be." Ge Fei's words were quite unconvincing. After saying that, he added another sentence: "Anyway, nothing will come of it."

  "When are we going to investigate Fang Zhi Ling's matter?" I carefully pulled open Gu Fei's hand and asked in a low voice.

  I have to say, I'm still a bit scared. I like Ge Fei and was afraid he would really die when he almost lost his life. Even after five years, I haven't forgotten him, despite his betrayal of me. But I value my own life more, so I'm naturally a bit scared and hope the matter can be cleared up soon. Lin Si Jia, you're ultimately a selfish person. If Ge Fei weren't human, you'd still be afraid. You're not as selfless as you imagine yourself to be.

  My actions seemed to make Ge Fei feel uncomfortable, his smile was somewhat stiff: "Go tomorrow, rest well today, I guarantee nothing will happen... okay?"

  Ge Fei's eyes were like a deep pool, yet they held a subtle warmth that drew me in unknowingly. This made me feel a bit guilty - my reaction earlier must have hurt Ge Fei.

  I nodded and said in a low voice: "Sorry, I..."

  "What's wrong? It's normal to be afraid... You're not the only one who's scared." Ge Fei's words were laced with a deep sense of helplessness, and his mouth curled up in a faint bitter smile.

  My heart feels sour and uncomfortable. No matter how I put it, Ge Fei will be hurt mostly because of me. How can I be afraid?

  It was a good day of mixing, I stayed at Ge Fei's house and watched TV for an afternoon, Ge Fei also sat next to me reading books for an afternoon, all of which were things that I couldn't understand.

  At night, I slept in his bedroom, he slept in the living room. I originally wanted to ask him why there was no guest room with so many rooms, but in the end, I didn't ask, he's different from before......, and I don't dare ask much either.

  The next afternoon, Ge Fei started investigating Fang Zhi Ling's affairs. It has to be said that walking with Ge Fei is really face-saving. I didn't get a clear look at his car last night, but today I saw it was a Rolls-Royce, damn! He really is a nouveau riche, and he dresses like a decent person too.

  I was probably stimulated by Rolls-Royce, and I suddenly forgot about fear and sat in the car laughing: "You really are a nouveau riche!"

  "Overnight rich... Hehehe!" Just as I finished speaking, a child's voice came from the back seat of the car, but this voice sounded strange somehow...
