Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After cooperating with the policemen with their ongoing investigation, Ye Qianqian and Shen Zhilie’s ID cards and residence certificates were verified, which proved they were the residents there. They were let go only after the policeman confirmed they weren’t exhibiting any unusual behaviors.

It took around half an hour to complete the process. Although it wasn’t a big issue, Ye Qianqian didn’t feel very comfortable after encountering such a thing.

Looking up at Shen Zhilie, she asked, “Well, how did this happen? I always thought that my luck hasn’t been very good recently. How can it be that I always encounter such unpleasant things?”

“It’s all right. Don’t think about it too much. The more you think about it, the worse you’ll end up feeling.” Shen Zhilie patted Ye Qianqian’s head. “All right. Why don’t you go wash up and sleep. I’ll call the hospital to tell them I won’t be going back to work tomorrow.”

“You didn’t ask for leave?” Ye Qianqian listened and smacked her tongue. “Is this okay? You’re not afraid that the hospital will fire you?”

“Don’t worry. The hospital needs me.” Shen Zhilie patted her head again. “Go take a shower.”

“Okay.” Ye Qianqian stretched and went to find her pajamas in her room before going into the bathroom.

Shen Zhilie helped her clean up the luggage and put her things away. Then, he got busy with his own matters.

Ye Qianqian was so tired that she kept fighting to keep her eyes open as she took a shower. After finishing her bath, she saw Shen Zhilie making a call on the balcony. She said good night to him, then went straight back to the room, lay down, and fell fast asleep.

Shen Zhilie’s lips curled up as he leaned against the balustrade of the balcony. Suddenly, he noticed a flash of fire in the distance. He glanced it through the corner of his eye, but it was extremely clear.

Shen Zhilie’s blood ran cold instantly. He turned his head to have a proper look at it, but there was no trace of it.

‘It’s like it was an illusion.’ Shen Zhilie immediately recalled what the police said to them in the neighborhood. ‘Maybe there’s a drug addict with a gun in the neighborhood!’

Addicts without guns were awful, but with guns, they could be especially dangerous when they lose control of their impulses.

Shen Zhilie’s lips pressed tightly together. He looked around and made sure there was nothing unusual. Then, he closed the floor window of the balcony and entered the room.

As he walked back into the room slowly, he could see that Ye Qianqian was sleeping well. He felt relieved.

He shifted Ye Qianqian’s sleeping position and placed a blanket on her. Then, he went to take a shower. In the middle of his shower, he suddenly heard a scream from outside. “No! ”

‘It’s Ye Qianqian’s voice!’ Shen Zhilie opened the door and rushed out immediately.

“Shen Zhilie...” It was Ye Qianqian’s voice, which sounded a lot lower than it usually was.

He rushed into the room barefoot and turned on the lights. Ye Qianqian was curled up. The blanket had been kicked away by her. Her eyes were closed, and her hair looked slightly messy.

Shen Zhilie let out a sigh of relief. Then, he stepped forward and gave Ye Qianqian a gentle push.

All of a sudden, Ye Qianqian woke up. The lighting in the room was a little harsh. Ye Qianqian squinted her eyes before she could see clearly the person in front of her.

Shen Zhilie had no clothes on—nothing but soap on his head. At the sight of him, Ye Qianqian immediately became fully awake. She opened her eyes wide and said, “What are you doing?”

Shen Zhilie felt angry when he saw her reaction, yet he wanted to laugh at the same time. “You scared me to death. Do you know what kind of dream you just had?”

Ye Qianqian suddenly realized she had been dreaming. She felt embarrassed and said, “Did I talk in my dream?”

“It was way more than talking. You were screaming so awfully loud that I had to run out of the shower.”
