Seeing his seemingly calm and collected demeanor, Su Ping couldn't help but raise her voice by two octaves.

It's all his fault for using the excuse of watching her swim; otherwise, she wouldn't have been locked up in there.

Su Ping pushed Song Qi away and tried to walk outside, but as they brushed past each other, her shoulder accidentally bumped into the corner of a cardboard box, causing the contents piled on it to fall towards her.

Before she could react, Song Qi had already grabbed her shoulders and shielded her beneath the frame and him.

After hearing a few muffled groans, Su Ping looked at the things that were falling from above her head.

So all those things just now hit Song Qi?

"Senior, are you alright?"

The pain in his shoulder reminded him that what had just fallen was heavy, but thankfully it hadn't hit her.

Hearing his concerned tone, Su Ping suddenly felt a strange sensation in her heart and subconsciously shook her head to indicate that she was fine.

His action just now was clearly subconscious, but why?

Even though he knew that thing would fall, his first instinct was to shield her with his body.

Su Ping found herself unable to understand the boy in front of her. Could it be because he liked her?

However, they didn't spend much time together. The only thing that caused some lingering tension was when he was drugged and she took him back to the hotel...

Seeing that she was staring at him without saying a word, Song Qi couldn't help but look back at her.

That face was so close, so close that it felt like I could kiss it if I just lowered my head slightly.

Song Qi's eyes were deep and unfathomable, and the impulse in his heart grew stronger and stronger.

Kiss him.

As Su Ping watched him get closer and closer, her eyes widened instinctively, and her hands, which were at her sides, clenched into fists.

Finally, Song Qi stopped just centimeters away from Su Ping's slightly parted lips.

No, that will scare her.

Because of his inner struggle, he rested his hands on the shelf next to Su Ping's head, feeling somewhat uncomfortable, and then breathed heavily.

His warm breath sprayed on her face, and Su Ping felt the air around her getting hot again.

His last shred of reason made him straighten up and leave Su Ping, then he leaned weakly against the iron frame behind him.

He almost lost control and did something terrifying.

He felt like he hadn't felt this way in a long time.

This is a deep-seated longing for something.

Seeing him suddenly turn and leave, Su Ping blinked and breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't know whether she should have slapped him with her left hand or her right hand if Song Qi had actually come closer.

Thankfully, he didn't come any closer.

She immediately took out her phone from her pocket, opened her contacts to make a call, but then hesitated.

Seeing this, Song Qi said, "It's okay, I have that teacher's contact information, I'll call him and ask."

Hearing him say that, Su Ping followed him outside.

Because the door was locked and the power was cut off, the main power supply was gone, and the pool behind them looked very dark; even the sound of splashing water could not be heard.

The next second, some fragments flashed through Su Ping's mind, and she walked towards that direction almost uncontrollably.

This place does look familiar. Has she been here before?

Just as Song Qi dialed the phone, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that the person standing not far from him had disappeared.

Turning around, I saw Su Ping, who was already close to the edge of the pool.

What is she trying to do?

As the call was connected, Song Qi described the situation on his end and strode towards Su Ping.

"Senior?"

Seeing that Su Ping was about to fall if she took another step forward, Song Qi quickly called out to stop her.

She seemed to hear her own voice, and slowly turned her head to look in her direction.

His eyes were vacant, his expression was blank, and he looked lifeless.

she……

I sensed that she only glanced at me before looking away, as if she intended to continue walking.

Song Qi was startled. Suppressing the strange thoughts in his heart, he ran towards her in three steps.

Su Ping only snapped back to reality when her body lost its footing and she began to fall uncontrollably forward.

That feeling again!

She had a similar feeling when she saw Song Yifei at Zhen Xiang's birthday party last time.

It was as if something in the dark was pushing them forward.

There are some things that they simply cannot control.

Just like not being able to explain why your body just moved in this direction uncontrollably.

As she felt the weight of her feet slipping, a deep sense of panic overwhelmed her, making her feel intensely uneasy. Just as she was about to fall into the pool, a strong hand grabbed her arm tightly.

Before she could turn her head to look, her body was thrown backward by the force of the impact.

Hearing the muffled groan, she realized that Song Qi had rushed over in time to pull her up and shield her with his body, preventing her from falling to the ground.

"You just now..."

Feeling her clutching his collar and trembling in his arms, Song Qi froze and didn't continue speaking.

Su Ping was having trouble controlling her emotions; Song Qi beneath her was the only person who made her feel like she was in the real world.

The moment she stepped into the air, the feeling of being all alone in the dream washed over her, and she was genuinely a little scared.

"It's okay, it's okay, senior, I'm here."

Song Qi patted her shoulder gently, speaking softly as if coaxing a child.

Although he didn't know why she had become like this, he knew that if he hadn't grabbed her, she would definitely have fallen.

Thinking about the look in her eyes when he called her name just now, the strange feeling in his heart grew stronger and stronger.

It was the same face, but he could still tell something was different. Especially when he saw the sudden panic on his senior's face after she lost her footing, he was even more convinced that she didn't know she was going to fall.

After all, people inevitably make subtle facial expressions when facing danger.

After about half a minute, Su Ping's mood gradually calmed down.

Seeing Song Qi still gently patting her shoulder, she awkwardly let go of his collar.

Song Qi picked her up and sat up from the ground, then frowned and looked at her seriously, asking, "Senior, can you tell me what just happened?"

Su Ping moved her lips, but found herself at a loss for words.

After all, if she hadn't experienced it herself, she would also find such a thing unbelievable.

If I told anyone, they'd probably think I was crazy.

Song Qi didn't miss any expression on her face. He saw a struggle flash in her eyes, and then, as if she had made up her mind, she shook her head and said, "It's nothing. It's probably a lingering effect from before. I can't quite control my body."
