After one night’s sleep, Su Wan wakes up to find she’s transmigrated into an apocalypse novel—as the vicious side character who starts off by stealing the female lead’s space, cruelly tortu...
Lu Shiyan didn't even look at him and walked straight towards the villa gate.
Steward Lin was dragged like a rag, veins popped out on his face and his eyes almost bulged out of their sockets.
"Do you think you can hurt me?" He opened the door and a low roar came from the darkness outside.
Su Wan covered her mouth, and her whole body felt cold as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
Outside the villa, in front of the gate, several slow-moving figures with rotten skin stood there. The moment they saw the door open, they let out excited roars.
Zombies.
Lu Shiyan threw Butler Lin away casually, and he flew out of the door like a rag and fell heavily in front of the group of zombies.
"Ah! No! Help!" Butler Lin screamed in horror and crawled backwards frantically.
The rotten figures immediately pounced on Steward Lin and tore at his limbs, blood splattered and screams tore at his heart.
Lu Shiyan just stood at the door, watching coldly. About five seconds later, he reached out to close the door. Butler Lin's sharp screams were still clearly audible, piercing the night sky and gradually weakening.
Su Wan covered her ears tightly, wrapped her arms around herself and curled up into a ball. This would be the outcome if she failed to meet Lu Shiyan's conditions.
There were a few suppressed cries coming from downstairs. It should be the remaining servants in the villa who heard the screams of Butler Lin.
Su Wan trembled and immediately crawled into the quilt, trying hard to cover her face.
There were steady footsteps coming up the stairs, neither fast nor slow, yet creepy.
He is back.
The footsteps stopped in front of her bedroom door.
Su Wan's whole body was tense, and he didn't even dare to breathe.
However, the door did not open.
He just stood there, stayed for a moment and then left, his footsteps gradually fading away.
Only then did Su Wan realize that her face was covered with tear marks and her breathing was as rapid as a drowning person.
This man just killed someone.
Without hesitation.
The rustling sound outside the door interrupted Su Wan's thoughts. Someone was outside, but it was not Lu Shiyan's footsteps. After a moment, a familiar, timid voice came from outside the door: "Miss, are you okay?"
Aunt Zhang.
Su Wan did not answer, nor did she have the courage to open the door. She did not know whether Aunt Zhang came to care about her or was assigned by Lu Shiyan to monitor her. "Miss... that gentleman asked me to tell you..." Aunt Zhang's voice trembled, "Tomorrow morning at 7 o'clock, please go to the restaurant for breakfast."
Su Wan closed her eyes, bit her lips, and still did not respond.
Aunt Zhang waited for a moment, and the footsteps gradually faded away.
The screams of Steward Lin outside had completely stopped, replaced by the zombies' more frequent roars.
She didn't want to die, she wanted to live well! Su Wan gently touched her cheek and wiped away her tears.
This luxurious villa already has a new owner.
The screams followed Su Wan like a shadow, haunting her dreams. She struggled in the bloody mist, and the desperate wails of housekeeper Lin and the sounds of zombies biting each other intertwined.
At daybreak, Su Wan woke up from a nightmare. Her clothes were soaked with cold sweat, and she clutched the quilt tightly, her heart beating violently.
It turned out to be a dream. Fortunately, I am still alive!
Half past six. There is still half an hour until the "appointed" time.
Su Wan forced herself to get up from the bed and walked into the bathroom with heavy steps. The woman in the mirror was haggard, but still beautiful.
The cold water drops slid down his cheeks, but they could not extinguish the fear in his heart. Lu Shiyan's cold eyes and the scene of Steward Lin being bitten flashed in his mind alternately.
"Don't panic, don't panic, Su Wan." She whispered to herself in the mirror, "You are still valuable, he won't kill you for the time being."
At 6:50, open the door.
The corridor was empty and eerily quiet. Su Wan walked towards the stairs cautiously.
In the spacious restaurant, Lu Shiyan was sitting at the main seat. He had changed into a clean set of clothes, no one knew where he had found them. The black shirt made his complexion look even paler, and the scars on his face were still shocking in the morning light, but they did not reduce his innate cold temperament.
The vengeful evil ghost who was covered in blood and breathed violently last night now looked like an elegant aristocrat, slowly cutting the fried eggs on the plate.
Su Wan's heart skipped a beat.
I have to admit that this face is indeed fascinating.
The contours are clear, the nose is high, and the lines of the thin lips are also very beautiful.
No wonder "Su Wan" is so devoted to him.
His eyes lifted as she appeared, "It's seven o'clock." Lu Shiyan glanced at his watch and said calmly, "Punctuality is a good habit."
Su Wan almost thought she had walked into the wrong place. This scene was too weird, as if they had not just swapped the positions of prisoner and guard, but were having an ordinary breakfast date.
"Sit down." He pointed to the seat opposite, with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.
Su Wan walked over stiffly, carefully pulled out a chair and sat down. A breakfast was already laid out on the table: milk, fried eggs, bread and fruit.
"Eat it." Lu Shiyan gestured to her, "It's good for the 'baby' in your belly." He emphasized the last few words.
Su Wan swallowed her saliva, picked up her knife and fork, cut off a small piece of fried egg and put it into her mouth. The food felt like chewing wax in her mouth, so she forced herself to swallow it.
Lu Shiyan wiped the corner of his mouth gracefully, his eyes fixed on her.
"Did you see...last night?" Lu Shiyan's voice was emotionless, as if he was discussing the weather. "This is the result of disobedience."
Su Wan put down her knife and fork and subconsciously covered her lower abdomen. This action did not escape Lu Shiyan's eyes, and he narrowed his eyes.
"Don't be nervous, Miss Su." He leaned back in his chair. "As long as you cooperate, I won't do anything to you. At least, not until I confirm whether you are really pregnant with my 'child'."
"Do you understand?" Lu Shiyan's voice approached.
"I understand." She nodded with difficulty.
"Very good." Lu Shiyan put down his napkin. "From now on, I am the master here. Everyone, including you, must obey my orders."
The miserable state of Steward Lin last night came to Su Wan's mind, and she began to tremble uncontrollably.
"All the servants have accepted the new arrangement." Lu Shiyan glanced at her, "including your personal maid, Aunt Zhang. I hope you can be like them and know the current situation."
"And..." Lu Shiyan's eyes became sharper, "your spatial ability."
"From now on, your special abilities are at my disposal." Lu Shiyan said word by word, "Anything I need, you must take out from your space without hesitation."
Su Wan nodded silently. This was one of her bargaining chips.
"I also need you to cooperate with me and store the supplies I brought back."
"Okay." Su Wan replied in a low voice.
Lu Shiyan seemed satisfied with her obedience. He stood up and looked down at her: "Remember, Su Wan. You are alive now only for two reasons: a possible 'child' and your spatial ability. Once any of these two things is proven to be a lie or loses its value——"
He didn't finish, but the threat was clear.
Su Wan lowered her head and unconsciously covered her abdomen with her hands.
"You can go back to your room to rest after breakfast." Lu Shiyan turned around and prepared to leave. "I'll ask Aunt Zhang to call you at noon."
"Wait!" Su Wan suddenly said, "Can I move freely in the villa?"
Lu Shiyan stopped and looked back at her: "Okay, but you are not allowed to leave the villa. Don't even think about escaping." After that, he strode away.
Su Wan sat down on the chair, picked up the milk and took a big gulp, but the fear in his heart could not be dispelled.
