MTL - Endless Fall-Chapter 35 Pei Zhi was in a hurry after being smashed on the door

  Chapter 35 Pei Zhi was in a panic

  [Still asleep? ]

  Lin Jiao was taken aback by the shock from his palm.

   She tensed her back, and quickly turned off the ghost movie that a certain sound was playing: [Uncle, I'm going to be scared to death by you! ]

[What's wrong? ]

  [I was just watching a ghost movie, and the phone rang when the female ghost jumped out, making my palms sweat. shivering.jpg]

   Pei Zhi chuckled: [My fault. ]

   He sent a cat scratching emoji, and worried that she would continue to recall the scene she saw earlier, so he changed the subject.

  [Are you insomnia? ]

  [nodding.jpg] Lin Jiao took a few sips of cold water to calm down the fear in her heart: [Why haven't you slept yet? ]

  [Woke up by Qu Shao. ]

  [Is the company in a hurry? ]

  [No, he made a typo. ] Pei Zhi adjusted the height of the soft pillow: [Go and drink a cup of milk first, don't stay up late. ]

  [I don't want to move. ]

  [Don't dare or don't want to? ]

  […] Lin Jiao has a feeling of being seen through.

   She glanced in the direction of the door, and wrapped her legs tightly with the air conditioner: [I dare not and don't want to. ]

   Pei Zhi made a video call but didn't return.

   When the cheek covered with a hazy light and shadow by the small night light came into view, his heart was so soft.

   He pushed his cheeks, rubbed his fingers on the screen, and motioned her to take her phone to the living room: "Don't be afraid, I'm here to accompany you."

   "Then don't hang up."

"Won't."

  Lin Jiao summoned the courage to lift the quilt.

   She walked to the door slowly, and at the moment when she pressed the doorknob to usher in the darkness, the scene of the female ghost jumping out flashed before her eyes again.

   Pei Zhi warmly reminded: "Turn on the lights first."

   "Hmm." Lin Jiao took a few steps to the right.

   She stretched out a hand to touch the cold wall, and quickly found the switch, so that the darkness around her was completely dispelled by the warm light.

   Seeing that she was obviously relieved, Pei Zhi's eyebrows and eyes were filled with a smile: "I will watch less ghost movies in the future."

   "I occasionally..."

   "Dong Dong Dong—"

   A scream drowned out the knock on the door.

   Pei Zhi looked at the shaking ceiling on the screen, got out of bed quickly, took the car key and walked out: "Jiaojiao, what's wrong?"

   "Yes, someone smashed the door." Lin Jiao was already in a state of high tension, so frightened, her voice trembled.

   "You go back to your room first, I'll be there soon."

  “…”

   "Jiaojiao, did you hear me?" Pei Zhi didn't get her response, so he clenched his fists anxiously, and the veins on the back of his hands also stood out.

"I heard."

  Lin Jiao's attention was pulled back by him.

   She stabilized her mind, tried to ignore the rushing sound, picked up the fruit knife on the coffee table, and went back to the bedroom to lock the door.

   "Is he still outside?" Pei Zhi sat in the driver's seat, slammed on the accelerator while paying attention to the situation there, and drove towards Mingxin.

   "Yeah." Lin Jiao crouched behind the door to find a sense of security.

   This was the first time she encountered such a situation, and she felt like she had been stuffed with wool: "Uncle, will he break in?"

   "Probably not." Pei Zhi looked ahead, ignoring two red lights one after another: "The security door is very strong, don't think about it."

  Lin Jiao couldn't help but think about it.

   She listened to the violent sound lingering in her ears like a spell, and the strength of her grip on the fruit knife became even tighter.

   "Uncle, where have you been?"

   "The gate of the community."

   Pei Zhi chatted with the security guard, then drove the car to the downstairs of the unit and got off in a hurry.

   Before he could wait for the elevator that was still parked on the twentieth floor, he pushed open the door of the safe passage and ran up at the fastest speed in his life.
