Perhaps it was Xiao Qi's reminder that caused Ning Wan to withdraw her gaze from the doorway and focus on the only circle of light on the stone table.
The footsteps are getting closer.
In just about half a minute, Shen Jingyuan walked to Ning Wan's door.
At this moment, Ning Wan's entire face was in the dark.
"You want to go out?"
Shen Jingyuan still walked in and asked knowingly.
Ning Wan didn't even change her posture. She just used the calmest tone possible, without hiding anything: "Yes."
But in my mind I thought: Nonsense, why don’t I try to lock you up in a tower?
Just thinking about the disparity in strength between the two of them, Ning Wan had to pretend.
"You said you would take me home."
Ning Wan added, her tone sounding a little aggrieved, as if she was accusing Shen Jingyuan of not keeping his word.
Shen Jingyuan frowned, and spiritual power once again overflowed from his fingertips.
Then the whole room lit up.
Ning Wan's expression remained unchanged, but she was extremely nervous in her heart.
"It's not safe out there."
Shen Jingyuan had no intention of letting Ning Wan go, he just found an excuse full of loopholes.
Shen Jingyuan brought out his reasons, but Ning Wan didn't buy it.
Is it unsafe outside?
Don't believe it.
What could be scarier than being locked up in a tower, losing your freedom, and failing in your mission?
Ning Wan calmed down a little, and continued to give psychological hints, and only then did she barely suppress the urge to scold Shen Jingyuan.
Well, impulse is the devil.
It feels good to argue with people, but it will be a disaster if the mission fails.
Ning Wan, who had figured it out, leaned slightly to the side to make it easier for her to observe Shen Jingyuan's expression and determine his attitude.
He just turned his head away, and the next moment he turned back and spoke again: "I can protect myself."
Ning Wan originally wanted to confront Shen Jingyuan, but the way he was dressed today did make people feel a little timid.
Xiao Qi looked at the clothes in front of him, which were the same as usual, frowned, and moved his gaze up a few points to look at Shen Jingyuan's eyes.
The next moment, he retreated to the corner and glanced at the host whose calves were trembling.
Integrity is something that not everyone is worthy of, at least the host is not worthy of it.
[Host, we can think of other solutions. Please don't act rashly.]
Xiao Qi finished this sentence as quickly as possible and retreated again.
Ning Wan frowned slightly: What did Xiao Qi say in her ear just now?
Please forgive her for being too nervous and only hearing the words "Host".
But it is impossible to distract myself and ask Xiaoqi now.
"You can't."
Shen Jingyuan's words were cold and ruthless, causing Ning Wan to inevitably hold her breath.
She...can't?
She still doesn't know whether she can do it herself.
This isn't the way to trick people.
"Wait a little longer, wait... I'll let you out when the time comes."
Shen Jingyuan looked at Ning Wan, whose pupils were slightly dilated and clearly shocked, and wanted to explain, but stopped in time.
He did not forget the identity of the person in front of him, which was the fundamental reason why he was at ease with her staying in the tower.
Ning Wan stared at Shen Jingyuan in front of her, her eyes slowly becoming moist.
Her eyelids drooped slightly, and her eyeballs moved quickly in her eye sockets, causing the tears that were about to fall to fall back into her eyes. She blinked twice more: "But, I'm afraid of the dark."
“Chen Jingyuan, I’m afraid of the dark, let me out, I promise I won’t put myself in danger.”
There were bloodshot eyes at the corners of Ning Wan's eyes.
At this time, Ning Wan had already stood up from the stone chair, with one hand resting on the stone table and the other hand clutching the cuff of his clothes.
The white fingers have turned red.
Ning Wan: As long as you perform well, you can get out of the tower in the next second.
But the emotion in Ning Wan's eyes made Shen Jingyuan lose the courage to look at her.
He was afraid that if he continued to watch, he would become soft-hearted and release the monster.
Shen Jingyuan turned around without any hesitation, but his slightly stiff posture revealed his hesitation.
But just when Ning Wan thought Shen Jingyuan would give in, Shen Jingyuan spoke again: "This spiritual power can keep this room lit. If you are afraid, you can stay here."
Ning Wan: How could he say such cold words when his mouth is also 37 degrees?
Is it because her crying is not beautiful enough, or is it that her crying skill is not working well?
"But I have to sleep at night."
You have a plan, but I have a ladder.
As expected, Ning Wan gave Shen Jingyuan another difficult problem.
She just didn't believe that without Shen Jingyuan in the tower, this spiritual power could still be manually turned on and off like modern technology.
Shen Jingyuan paused as he was about to leave, turned around again, and looked at Ning Wan who was lowering her head. His relaxed brows furrowed again.
He took out two or three fire starters as prepared, placed them on the table next to Ning Wan, and then casually waved them towards the corner.
Something seemed to have fallen from the corner of the wall.
Before Ning Wan could see clearly, at least hundreds of candles appeared before her eyes.
"Then let's use candles." Shen Jingyuan, as if he had been prepared, directly stopped Ning Wan's idea of taking the opportunity to leave the tower.
Ning Wan: The source supply may not be that much.
No, the point is that her ladder was taken away by Shen Jingyuan!
Ning Wan's hands curled up in embarrassment.
Look up again.
Ning Wan tried hard to squeeze out the tears: "But it's so quiet here, no one talks to me, I'll be bored, I can't just sit there in a daze all day."
Ning Wan bravely stretched out the hand that was originally holding her sleeve, and pulled Shen Jingyuan's sleeve bit by bit, holding the corner of the sleeve firmly in her palm.
