The heavy door was opened, and outside the confinement room was also a bottomless darkness, as if there were even deeper abysses at the bottom of the abyss, like a monster that devours light, and who knows when it will swallow people whole.
The person standing at the doorway was slender and thin in the darkness, seemingly as frail as a willow, yet so resilient and upright.
That wasn't a man's figure.
The moment Pei Fengzhi saw that shadow, he recognized the person in front of him.
He frowned and asked, slightly displeased.
Why are you here?
Ye Ningwan approached Pei Fengzhi step by step from the darkness outside the door. Their eyes met, and Ye Ningwan suddenly leaned down and cupped Pei Fengzhi's face in her hands.
"What? Aren't you happy I'm here?"
Pei Fengzhi looked up and smiled as he gazed at Ye Ningwan, who was getting closer and closer to him. Their breaths were very close, and Pei Fengzhi could even smell the faint medicinal fragrance in Ye Ningwan's breath.
He said.
"Aren't you afraid of being found out? If you are, you will be punished."
"You're so delicate, how can you stand it?"
Ye Ningwan blinked, smiled slyly, and whispered in Pei Fengzhi's ear.
"Then I'll just keep quiet and not let anyone find out, won't that solve the problem?"
Upon hearing this, Pei Fengzhi also laughed.
He reached out, hooked his long arm around Ye Ningwan, and pulled her into his arms.
Ye Ningwan stumbled, but without hesitation, she straddled Pei Fengzhi's lap, hooked her arms around his neck, and nuzzled affectionately against it.
Pei Fengzhi felt a slight itch on his neck. He felt that Ye Ningwan was like a soft, cuddly kitten who loved to be pampered. She was so clingy and cute that she couldn't stay away from her owner for too long, otherwise she would meow and search for her everywhere.
Pei Fengzhi felt his heart melting; how could his little wife be so cute and clingy?
"You..."
He felt a mix of helplessness and relief. He gently took his wife's hand in his large palm, which enveloped hers as if a burning flame was in his palm, warming him little by little. That warmth spread from his palm to the depths of his heart.
The two people huddled close together, warming each other in the cold and boundless midnight.
Ye Ningwan leaned against Pei Fengzhi's chest and whispered to him.
"It's so boring being alone. You're here with me, so I won't be bored anymore."
Pei Fengzhi smiled.
How could he not know that Ye Ningwan wasn't being bored; she was just feeling guilty because she had been caught in the crossfire of the Ye family's affairs, leaving him to bear the punishment alone.
She's such an honest, fair, and gentle little silly cat.
However, Pei Fengzhi would not tell her that he did all this on purpose; he would only hold Ye Ningwan tightly and say this.
"It's so cold here, I'm so glad you came."
In this way, Ye Ningwan would hold him tightly, warming him with her hot body, which carried a hint of medicinal fragrance.
"Then I'll hold you, so you won't be cold."
Ye Ningwan was so gentle. She took out a sleeping bag and an inflatable mattress from her schoolbag and temporarily made a small bed in the confinement room.
The bed was very small, and Ye Ningwan and Pei Fengzhi could only barely curl up on the inflatable bed by hugging each other close together.
In the darkness, Ye Ningwan felt Pei Fengzhi's breathing gradually deepen, seemingly becoming somewhat rapid, and the strength in his embrace grew heavier.
Ye Ningwan sensed something was amiss and whispered.
"What's wrong?"
The darkness concealed Pei Fengzhi's expression at this moment.
He asked Ye Ningwan in a low voice.
"Is it raining outside? I think I heard thunder."
Ye Ningwan thought back to when she came back earlier. It had indeed rained a few drops of rain, and Jiangcheng often experienced rain at night, especially now that it was autumn.
"It's probably raining."
Pei Fengzhi hugged him even tighter, but her voice became even hoarseer.
"cold."
Ye Ningwan was incredibly clever; she instantly realized that something was wrong with Pei Fengzhi.
She thought about it for a moment and quickly understood.
Are you afraid of thunder?
Pei Fengzhi did not answer; he simply spoke in a low voice.
"Can you stay with me forever, even when I'm asleep?"
Ye Ningwan's heart softened, and for some reason, she felt a pang of pity. In the darkness, she met Pei Fengzhi's ink-black pupils and finally nodded in agreement.
"good."
Ye Ningwan didn't know when she fell asleep. She only remembered that Pei Fengzhi's faint sandalwood scent was very comfortable and reassuring.
...
"Wanwan... Wanwan..."
Ye Ningwan was woken up by someone.
When she opened her eyes, she vaguely realized that she was lying in Pei Fengzhi's arms, and the man was looking at her with a gentle and affectionate smile.
"Wake up, it's morning. If you don't leave soon, someone will find out."
Ye Ningwan yawned, rolled over and got up from the inflatable bed. Pei Fengzhi didn't let her do it, but instead reached out and packed all her things into her backpack.
Before leaving, Ye Ningwan said to him.
"I'll come find you again tonight."
Pei Fengzhi chuckled and pinched Ye Ningwan's earlobe.
"I can manage on my own. You can come pick me up when I get out."
Ye Ningwan pondered for a moment, and finally nodded.
Stepping out of the basement, Ye Ningwan looked up and saw a gray sky. The sun had not yet risen, and the sky was shrouded in a layer of dust, dark and gloomy. There was still water left on the ground from the heavy rain last night.
