But it felt as if something was binding my body.
I couldn't move.
At that moment, I noticed something on top of the wardrobe.
I climbed up on a stool to peer into the gap of the wardrobe.
I saw an object that seemed to be square in shape, deep blue in color, covered with many small dots.
I reached out to touch it, wanting to pull it out.
Suddenly, I lost my balance and fell off the stool.
My head hit the ground, and I felt a sharp pain.
My consciousness began to fade.
In that hazy state, I saw the face of the Landlord.
The Landlord seemed to be smiling at me.
He smiled joyfully, smugly, and ominously.
I felt a surge of fear.
Hadn't the Landlord already died?
Why was he appearing here?
Was it here to take my life?
I felt despair.
I knew I was close to death.
Yet, I still wanted to live...
I woke up.
I felt something pressing down on my body.
I opened my eyes and saw Xu Qian.
He was sitting by the bed, quietly watching me.
"Xu Qian..." I called out to him.
"You’re awake?" Xu Qian asked.
"How long have I been asleep?"
"Two days."
"Why did you come back only now?"
"The police came looking for me."
"The police?" I was startled.
"Yes," Xu Qian nodded.
"They asked me if I knew someone named Lin Shufan."
"Lin Shufan?" My heart raced.
"They said Lin Shufan is suspected of serious crimes and they are actively searching for her."
"Oh..." I let out a sigh of relief.
"Li Li, do you know Lin Shufan?" Xu Qian suddenly asked me.
"I don't know her!" I shook my head.
"Really?" There was a hint of doubt in Xu Qian's eyes.
"Really!" I said firmly.
"Li Li, don't lie to me," Xu Qian's voice carried a note of pleading.
"I'm not lying to you!" I continued to deceive her.
"Li Li, do you know? The police have found two bodies, one is the Landlord, and the other is Lin Shufan's husband..."
"What is her husband's name?" I asked.
"Li Xiang."
My heart raced even faster; I could hardly control my emotions.
“Li Li, do you know about these things?” Xu Qian asked.
“I don’t know!” I shook my head.
“Li Li, I hope you will always be with me. I will take care of you for a lifetime.”
“But right now, you can’t go outside.”
“It’s too dangerous out there.”
“Stay here, and I will bring you food and drinks. Please don’t go outside.”
“Okay?”
Xu Qian spoke to me in a tone that was almost pleading.
“Okay…” I whispered.
“Li Li, I will always treat you well…” There was a slight tremor in Xu Qian’s voice.
“I believe you…” I clutched Xu Qian’s hand tightly, as if he were my only lifeline.
Xu Qian gently lifted the blanket and removed my clothes.
Then, he lay on top of me, using his body to warm me…
Xu Qian arrived at the old house carrying a large bag of items.
He knocked on the door, then took out a key and unlocked it.
"Be good, I'm here. I brought you your favorite lollipops," Xu Qian said gently.
He placed the bag he was holding on the table and walked over to the bed, gently stroking my hair.
"You smell a bit, so you should take a shower later," Xu Qian continued.
"There are many police officers outside cracking down on murderers. You can't go out right now."
"If they spot anyone suspicious, they'll take them in for questioning."
"It's safe for you to stay here; no one can find you."
"But you can't stay here forever. You need to find a way to escape this city..."
"What should I do?" I asked nervously.
"First, eat something, and then I'll help you take a shower."
