Annie moved quickly. After closing the curtains, she ran back and even announced cutely, “I’ve close all the curtains!”
“Okay.” Ye Sijue took a step forward smoothly, blocking the bloodstains behind him.
Annie looked at him. “Ye Sijue, why do you look… so pale?”
“It might be because of the lighting,” Ye Sijue lied unconvincingly.
Annie wasn’t stupid. “How can this warm light make you look pale? Don’t lie to me. Are you feeling feverish again?”
This time, she was determined to test his temperature.
Ye Sijue was afraid that she would notice the blood on his injured arm, and thus could only raise the other hand to stop her.
However, he couldn’t beat her to it and thus let her feel him.
Annie paused her movement as she remembered that her hand was icy cold. She touched it to her cheek to warm it first before reaching out to touch him.
“You seem a little hot!” She determined.
“No, that’s just your imagination. I’ll let you touch me again once you’ve warmed up,” said Ye Sijue. Changing the topic, he said, “Go to the room and see if there are any clothes to change into.”
Annie felt a little uncomfortable. “That’s not a good idea…”
They had already broken in. Wouldn’t they become burglars if they took things that didn’t belong to them?
“I wouldn’t mind if you wanted to stay here,” Ye Sijue said mildly.
Annie thought that he made sense. They couldn’t just stay here forever, and had to think of how to get back. Even if Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie returned to look for them, they might not be able to find them.
If they wanted to go back, they had to wear warmer clothes for it was very cold outside.
It was especially important for him to wear something warm. What were they going to do if he got a high fever again?
Annie was wavering between what she should do, but upon considering Ye Sijue’s health, she came to a decision.
She nodded and said, “Okay. I’ll go in to look for clothes.”
Now that she was in the room, Ye Sijue cleaned up the blood.
However, a wave of dizziness overcame him as he squatted down and he almost fainted.
Luckily, he didn’t give in to the darkness.
He bit his lip, and the pain made him regain his senses quickly.
After wiping the blood, he then tried to find something to stop the bleeding.
His wound was unexpectedly large. If Annie saw it, she would freak out.
Ye Sijue had been lucky enough to conceal it in time.
Because he didn’t know when Annie was going to come out, he could only deal with it haphazardly.
Unexpectedly, Annie screamed.
Ye Sijue’s heart clenched as he rushed over.
Annie ran out of the room, knocking into him.
She looked terrified as she jumped into his embrace. Pointing at the room, she exclaimed, “Snake! Snake! There’s a snake inside!”
“Why would there be snakes in the room?” Ye Sijue frowned.
Annie nodded, trembling. “There are really snakes inside. They’re all in a cage, and there are a lot of them!”
Ye Sijue patted her back comfortingly. “They’re in cages, so they won’t come out. Don’t be scared.”
Could this homeowner be a snake enthusiast?
He thought for a while before turning on the room’s light. Walking in, he saw that there was indeed a cage filled with coiling snakes.
What made it frightening was that they were all venomous!
Annie grabbed at his shirt in fear. In a soft voice, she said, “I remember in horror movies, when there is a serial killer… do you think the owner of this house is…”
