The couple exchanged glances in the darkness, as if they were conveying some kind of silent understanding and tension through their eyes.
Then, they all squatted down slowly at the same time, their movements were so light that they made almost no sound.
Then, the two of them crouched carefully on the cold and hard steps like two frightened rabbits.
At this moment, the air around seemed to be frozen, and even the breathing sound became unusually light, for fear that the tranquility would be broken by any carelessness.
After that sound, there was a sound of footsteps, also very light. If the two of them were not on the stairs, they would not have been heard.
The couple lying on the stairs didn't know who the voice belonged to, Chen Yanqiu or Yueyue?
Judging by the distance, it should be Shen Yanqiu! Because the couple was on the stairs not far from the door of his room.
Zhu Mingchuan gritted his teeth, and his resentment towards Chen Yanqiu increased: This kid doesn't look honest!
It's fine that he slandered me in front of my wife, but he even went to my precious daughter's room in the middle of the night! He was so bold, and I caught him this time. I'll teach him a lesson!
He was about to stand up, but was stopped by Zhu's mother, who whispered in his ear, "Don't worry, see where he goes."
Where else could he go? It was the middle of the night, and he went out alone without turning on the lights. It was obvious that he was guilty! Besides, Yueyue was also on the second floor, so where else could he go?
Zhu Mingchuan felt that he was about to be unable to suppress his anger, but he still listened to his wife and stayed there obediently. He couldn't help thinking in his heart: I will let you go for now, the moment you knock on Yueyue's door, that's when you will be beaten!
Chen Yanqiu was also nervous when he went out to find Zhu Tingyue. The whole house was dark. Based on Zhu Mingchuan's attitude towards him, he didn't know whether he would sneak up in the middle of the night to observe him. It was better to be careful.
Sure enough, as soon as he went out, he heard some noise on the stairs. It was pitch black all around and he couldn't see anything. Shen Yanqiu had no choice but to pretend that he didn't hear anything and just walked forward.
When he arrived at Zhu Tingyue's door, he kept walking without looking around, until he reached the stairs on the other side, he turned a corner and went downstairs!
When she heard the footsteps coming up the stairs, Zhu's mother let go of the hand that had been holding Zhu Mingchuan's sleeve. At this time, sweat was already oozing out of her palms.
"He didn't go!" Zhu's mother was glad that she pulled Zhu Mingchuan back in time.
"Humph, if he dares to go, I'll break his legs!"
Zhu Mingchuan felt a little regretful, and he answered with a little disappointment that it was a pity that he could not reveal Chen Yanqiu's true face in front of his wife and daughter!
"Okay, let's go! Stop struggling!" Zhu's mother was completely relieved now.
Zhu Mingchuan was not very willing, but the facts were before him, so he had no choice but to follow his wife back.
He was unwilling to give up, and finally turned around when he heard the door of the room on the second floor open.
Shen Yanqiu, who was about to go upstairs, witnessed the Zhu couple sneaking downstairs. He waited until the two returned to the room before he stepped onto the stairs.
When he reached the second floor, he turned around and went to Zhu Tingyue's room! Without knocking, he pressed the handle and the door opened!
Zhu Tingyue deliberately left the door open for him? Chen Yanqiu was puzzled and surprised.
Walking into the room in the dark, Chen Yanqiu groped his way to the bedside and reached out to look for Zhu Tingyue, but there was no one on this side or the other side either!
The bed is still warm, where has the person gone?
The lights in the bathroom weren't on, where would she go?
Chen Yanqiu couldn't find anyone and was afraid that Zhu Mingchuan would make a surprise attack, so he had to go back first.
Zhu Tingyue on the other side was also looking for someone.
There’s no one on the bed or in the bathroom. Where did the person go?
She leaned her head to think about where Shen Yanqiu had gone, and suddenly there was a voice coming from the door. Was it her parents coming up again?
She tiptoed quickly and silently like a lithe cat, and moved cautiously towards the door.
Every step was taken extremely cautiously, for fear of making even the slightest sound.
Finally, she successfully reached the door, then stood still and pursed her lips gently, not daring to let any of her breathing leak out.
At this moment, a crisp "creaky" sound was heard, and the tightly closed door was slowly pushed open from the outside.
Zhu Tingyue's heart instantly rose to her throat and began to beat violently, as if it was about to burst through her chest and jump out of her body. The sound of her powerful heartbeats echoed clearly in her eardrums, deafening her ears.
Immediately afterwards, a steady and rhythmic sound of footsteps came from far away.
Along with the footsteps, the man walked into the room slowly and closed the door again.
Due to the lighting conditions, all that could be seen at this moment was a tall and blurry figure gradually approaching Zhu Tingyue's location.
Zhu Tingyue, feeling guilty, was frightened out of her wits. She subconsciously closed her eyes tightly and pressed her whole body against the cold and hard wall behind her. She didn't even dare to breathe for fear of attracting the other party's attention.
At this moment, her heart was filled with fear and anxiety, her mind was blank, and she had no idea how to deal with the situation next.
People in the dark have less sharp vision, but their perception abilities are greatly enhanced.
Zhu Tingyue only felt that the black shadow was getting closer and closer to her, and finally, it stopped in front of her.
She felt like a long time had passed before the black shadow slowly moved away and walked away.
Who is it? I guess he didn't find me.
At this time, Zhu Tingyue had already forgotten that she was the mistress of the Zhu family, and she only felt grateful for having survived the disaster.
Like a frightened deer, she cautiously let out a long breath, almost suffocating her to death! However, just as she relaxed, a dark shadow suddenly approached her like a ghost.
The black shadow was extremely fast and was in front of him in the blink of an eye.
As it approached, a warm breath slowly fell on her fair and slender neck like light smoke.
This breath hit her like an electric current, causing her body to tremble involuntarily.
"Yueyue?"
It’s Chen Yanqiu’s voice!
Zhu Tingyue patted his chest and threw himself into Shen Yanqiu's arms: "What are you doing? You scared me to death!"
Shen Yanqiu opened his arms to catch her. To be honest, he was also surprised that Zhu Tingyue was here.
"Why did you come to my room?" Shen Yanqiu asked his doubts.
Zhu Tingyue kissed him on the cheek before answering, "I missed you!"
This bold remark made Shen Yanqiu blush, but Zhu Tingyue couldn't see it in the dark.
Chen Yanqiu still held Zhu Tingyue's hand tightly, his mind was clouded by Zhu Tingyue's words and kiss, and he stood there blankly.
