Secret Room

After returning to her room, Xu Feifei slowly walked back to her bed, pulled the blanket over half of her face, and kept replaying Lin Yuan's words in her mind.

A blush gradually rose on her face, and her heart pounded wildly, as if it were about to jump out of her chest.

She knew three days would pass quickly, but she didn't expect it to go by so fast, it was over in the blink of an eye. She had been thinking about Su Huan these past few days and hadn't really thought about Lin Yuan at all.

I had thought about it before going to Europe, but I planned to give an answer after the summer vacation. I never expected that the unexpected would bring it forward so much.

At this moment, she stared at the ceiling, her mind blank. There's still time, tomorrow isn't here yet, there's still time...

I drifted off to sleep, and when I woke up again, the ceiling light was still on.

I forgot to turn off the light before going to sleep. I touched my phone by the bedside, and it was a little after 2 a.m.

It was still early before it was time to get up, so Xu Feifei got up, went to the bathroom, turned off the light, and prepared to go to sleep.

But waking up and falling back asleep isn't so easy. I tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep no matter what I did. My eyes were closed, my mind was clear, and my thoughts were a jumbled mess.

I don't know how much time passed, but I let out a helpless sigh in the night and took out my phone. An hour had passed, and it was already past three in the morning.

Feeling hungry, Xu Feifei turned the light back on, put on her slippers, and left the room. Seeing that Lin Yuan's room was dark, she quietly closed the door and took the elevator down to the first floor.

Upon arriving in the kitchen, Xu Feifei opened the refrigerator and took out some snacks and cakes to eat.

In the dead of night, the room was exceptionally quiet, with almost no noise.

Xu Feifei sat on the stool, recalling Su Huan's words, wondering if she could exploit the bugs as Su Huan had suggested.

With his hands clasped together and his eyes closed, he silently prayed in his heart and mind: Su Huan, Su Huan, God, please let me meet and chat with Su Huan, please, please.

After a while, I quietly opened my eyes and found that the home was still the same as before, unchanged, which inevitably made me a little disappointed.

I tried several times, but the result was the same.

"Sigh, it seems that exploiting bugs isn't so easy after all."

Xu Feifei shook her head, threw the empty milk bottle into the trash can, and walked towards the elevator.

When I pressed the elevator button, I hesitated while looking at it.

The house was a three-story villa. She rarely went to the third floor, but she often saw Lin Yuan go up to the third floor. It was very mysterious. Every time she tried to follow her, she was refused.

After hesitating for a moment, she pressed the button for the third floor.

"Ding!" The elevator has arrived.

Stepping out of the elevator, the long corridor was pitch black, with the only light coming from the elevator behind me.

Through the limited light, the corridor ahead looked like a dark cave entrance, seemingly endless.

I don't know how long I stood at the elevator door, but the elevator slowly closed its doors, and the only light went out.

Suddenly, they were plunged into complete darkness. Their legs involuntarily began to weaken, and they cautiously groped their way forward, saying, "Oh my god, it's so dark."

After walking three meters, the motion-sensor lights at the bottom of the wall automatically turned on. The corridor was lit again, though not very brightly, but much better than being completely dark.

With the lights on, I started to feel bolder, and my legs weren't so weak anymore.

At the end of the corridor, around the corner, there was a wall.

Xu Feifei looked at the wall and felt something was off. She reached out and touched around, and somehow the wall seemed a little strange.

With a push, it turned out to be a door.

Xu Feifei took a deep breath in front of the door and curiously pushed it open.

It was a small study, with a bookshelf on one wall filled with books. It was very ordinary, nothing special.

But why doesn't Lin Yuan follow her every time? And this study feels a bit small, and a bit strange, but I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong with it.

Xu Feifei looked at the books on the bookshelf. Most of them were books on psychology, which were not of interest to her. There were very few books on literature, let alone novels, which she loved.

"Nothing's strange. Why doesn't Lin Yuan bring her along every time she comes up?" she murmured, looking at the books on the bookshelf.

I randomly picked up a book and opened it to any page. The contents were very clear, with no blurred words or missing characters.

Xu Feifei flipped open the cover and glanced at it. "Hmm, it's a psychology textbook, not a novel. No wonder I can read it so clearly."

She wasn't interested in these academic books and immediately put them back. A dull thud came from the wall the moment the books were put back.

The sound immediately put her on high alert. She stared intently at the wall for several minutes, and when she found no movement, she finally felt relieved.

I put my hand back on the book, picked it up, but nothing happened. I put it back, and the wall echoed with that dull thud again.

"Could there be a trap?"

Based on her years of experience watching TV dramas, she judged that there might be a secret room inside.

This sudden discovery left Xu Feifei somewhat bewildered. What was behind the wall? Was it an ordinary room or a hidden basement that outsiders were not allowed to discover?

Xu Feifei was undecided: should she open the door, pretend nothing had happened, or ask Lin Yuan?

The people who know our secrets should be acquaintances around us.

These words suddenly echoed in Xu Feifei's mind, coupled with Lin Yuan's earlier insistence that she not follow her up to the third floor...

"No, that's impossible, it can't be like that."

Just as doubts were about to arise in her mind, Xu Feifei quickly denied the idea.

But what secret lies behind the wall? My curiosity grew stronger.

"Su Huan, are you in there?" Xu Feifei called softly towards the wall, her voice low so as not to disturb Lin Yuan.

She called out several times, but there was no response from inside. Her heart finally eased a little, but Xu Feifei was still very curious about what was happening inside.

"How do we get in? According to the typical plot development in TV dramas and novels, there should be a mechanism. How do we open it?"

He muttered to himself as he fumbled around on the bookshelf. After trying for a long time, he finally heard a "click" from inside.

Xu Feifei held her breath and nervously looked towards the source of the sound, where she saw a crack appear in the wall.

I walked to the crack, looked back at the door that had been closed earlier, and made sure no one was there. I carefully pushed the door open. The room was small and completely open, containing only a cabinet, a few tables and chairs, a computer, and that was about it.

Su Huan wasn't inside, and the anxiety that had been building up inside finally subsided. Just as she was about to log out, she noticed the computer was glowing.

"The computer is still on?"

Upon closer inspection, I was surprised to find that the computer was displaying live video feeds of every living room, hallway, and room in the villa. It was true that every corner, except for the bathroom, was filled with cameras.

Xu Feifei looked at the live video feed in front of her, and goosebumps suddenly appeared on her arms. "How can there be so many cameras? Does Lin Yuan know about their existence?"

Or was this a camera installed by Lin Yuan? She kept this question to herself.

With a skeptical mind, she minimized the computer screen. The desktop was clean, with only the computer's pre-installed software on it.

After checking several times, there was no extra information. Xu Feifei returned to the original interface and stared blankly at the live surveillance video on the computer.

After a long while, she came to her senses. She looked on the table and in the cabinets for any other documents. Opening one of the cabinets, she found two cell phones inside.

Xu Feifei's eyes widened instantly when she saw the two phones. She recognized them at a glance; they were her old phones.

She took out the phone, pressed some buttons but nothing happened, then turned it on and entered the password. After a while, it showed the password was correct. There was no doubt, this was her phone.

"Lin Yuan said before that she and her phone were stolen in London, so how did she end up here? Did Lin Yuan hide?"

After the phone was turned on, a large amount of information flooded in instantly.

Xu Feifei's mind was in a daze. She opened WeChat, and the people and groups in the WeChat account kept popping up, with red dots flashing continuously.

It took more than ten seconds for WeChat to stop beeping.

Xu Feifei ignored the group messages and scrolled down, finding that Zeng Hao had sent her many messages. When she opened them, she saw that they were mostly group photos from summer camp and pictures of beautiful European scenery.

The group photo also includes the male and female leads. In one of the photos, the male and female leads are talking by a campfire. Lin Xier is looking at Nangong Ye with her head turned to the side, and Nangong Ye is looking at Lin Xier with a smile on his lips. They are a perfect match, and everyone who sees them would agree that they are a good couple.

Seeing this picture caused a dull ache in my heart, and I felt inexplicably sad.

"Holy crap, this is unbelievable."

Upon realizing this feeling, Xu Feifei immediately threw her phone far away. She patted her chest, and only after calming down did she pick it up.

Seeing the photo again brought back those indescribable feelings. Xu Feifei quickly swiped away, afraid that the photo would spread like a plague.

Scrolling down the information, Zeng Hao told her that the male and female leads had withdrawn from the summer camp for some unknown reason.

Xu Feifei frowned slightly when she saw the message.

Scrolling down further, he would ask her how her trip was and why she wasn't replying to his messages.

The message was sent a week ago. Xu Feifei's finger hovered over the input box for a while, struggling with how to reply. After thinking for a long time, she decided not to reply.

Then, looking at other people's messages, Zhang Jiayi asked her how her trip was, and also talked about his own work in his family business. Finally, he asked if she was busy and didn't have time to check her phone.

Next was Gao Anxuan, who sent over all sorts of miscellaneous travel photos. Even though Xu Feifei didn't reply, she still sent them over beautifully.

Upon seeing this, Xu Feifei couldn't help but laugh and said, "So you're treating me like a WeChat assistant."

Just as I was thinking of continuing to watch, I glanced at the computer and was horrified to find that Lin Yuan had gotten up!

I glanced at the time hurriedly; it was only a little past four o'clock, still a long time before I had to get up.

Xu Feifei prayed silently in her heart, hoping that Lin Yuan would just get up to go to the toilet and then go back to sleep.

But soon, she was disappointed. Lin Yuan opened the door and walked out into the corridor on the second floor.

Xu Feifei's heart tightened immediately, and she watched Lin Yuan's every move with rapt attention, even her breathing became cautious.

Lin Yuan continued walking forward and stopped in front of her door.

At this moment, Xu Feifei's heart was in her throat, her heart was pounding like a drum, and fine beads of sweat began to appear on her forehead.

Will Lin Yuan open the door? Will she be discovered? If Lin Yuan does discover her, what will happen, and what excuse would be best for her?
