Chen Bai grasped the window lattice tightly with her hands and squinted her eyes slightly. When she was about to take a closer look, she saw a gust of cool night wind carrying the coolness of rain blowing past her face. When she looked again, the person had disappeared.

...Like a midnight phantom, there is no trace.

Chen Baiqi immediately turned around. She opened the door and looked around. Indeed, she could no longer detect anything strange.

And the direction that the strange and unknown figure came from just now seems to be the end of the corridor...

She thought for a while and walked up to the room at the end of the corridor.

Seeing that there was still light in the room and her face was as quiet as water, she knocked on the door.

After a long time, no one answered the door.

She tried to push it, but the door clicked open.

This room is not big, there is no screen, and the environment inside is clear at a glance. This room is supposed to be where Ju and his mother Danyun who take care of him live.

However, she did not see Danyun Niang. She walked to the couch and saw Ju.

Ju is sleeping and doesn't wake up.

She walked closer to him and stared at his face, her expression was very quiet, but her eyes danced up and down with the candlelight.

In the past few days, she had not had a good word with him, firstly because Danyun Niang was there, and secondly because... he seemed to be resisting her approach.

Why?

Even if she is a stranger, she has saved him and is helping him. His attitude should not always be so indifferent...

Just when Chen Bai was deep in thought, Ju seemed to have been having a terrible nightmare while he was sleeping. He was sweating on his forehead, frowning, clenching his fists, and struggling hard, shaking the bed board.

Chen Baiqi was startled. She squatted down and was about to wake him up when she saw her eyes suddenly open.

He saw Chen Baiqi, with lingering fear from his dream in his eyes. His face changed drastically, and he shouted hoarsely: "Let's go!"

Chen Baiqi was stunned. She didn't understand what Ju meant by "go". She didn't know whether he was shouting randomly because he had a nightmare, or whether he was shouting in anger when he saw her suddenly appearing in his room in the middle of the night.

With great difficulty, he stretched out a hand to grab Chen Baiqi's arm, and shouted again: "Let's go -"

Chen Baiqi saw his expression clearly now.

He was nervous, anxious, and deeply uneasy.

Chen Baiqi became more and more puzzled. She pressed the back of his hand and was about to ask...

"Hey, Mr. Chen, why are you here so late?"

Before Chen Baiqi could say anything, a gentle and soft-spoken female voice sounded behind her.

Chen Baiqi immediately felt the palm holding her arm tighten, as if he was trying to pinch into her flesh and bones.

She looked back and saw that it was Danyun Niang. However, the Danyun Niang standing by the door with a sweet smile was completely different from the previous Danyun Niang.
