Chapter 325: The Sound of Footsteps in the Darkness

Shi Xiaonian was ill for two days.

Mrs. Gong took care of her the whole time, boiled water for her, and made some simple food for her.

Shi Xiaonian was lying on the bed with an ice pack on his forehead, his face was pale, his lips were bloodless, his eyes were sunken, looking at the light from the window, but there was no luster in his eyes, only grayness.

Dejected.

If there was always a little hope left in her subconscious before, then now she is completely disheartened.

After Gong Ou hugged Mona and kissed her passionately, and asked her if she was determined to die, she would no longer have any illusions about this relationship.

enough.

Thinking about it, she has become so cheap that she even ran to ask Gong Ou if he still had feelings for her, and even after being kicked out and signed the Breakup Contract, she was still thinking wildly.

She deserved what she did today.

Shi Xiaonian, you deserve it.

She spurned herself fiercely in her heart, wishing she could slap herself a few times.

God, why are you sick?

Xia Yu walked in from the outside, carrying a bag of fruit in her hand, looking at Shi Xiaonian and muttering worriedly, Why don't you know how to pay attention, knowing that you are pregnant and still sick, and you can't take medicine, you can't bear it if you suffer hard. too painful.

Shi Xiaonian lay on the bed, looked at Xia Yu with blank eyes, and said slowly, Xiao Yu, this time, I have completely given up.

what?

Xia Yu stood by the bed and looked at her inexplicably.

Why did you suddenly tell her this.

From today onwards, I will never think about that man again, and I will never think about it again. Shi Xiaonian said with a firm voice, as if speaking to himself, I will never humiliate me for him again. chance.

She will no longer be mean.

She has no place left for Gong Ou to trample on, her heart has been crushed to pieces by him and Mona, she has had enough.

Xia Yu stared at her in a daze, and asked strangely, What happened to you and Mr. Gong?

Ahem...

Shi Xiaonian coughed, Xia Yu quickly sat on the bedside, patted her lightly through the quilt, and comforted her, Okay, okay, don't want to, we don't want to.

Shi Xiaonian coughed, her throat was itchy and uncomfortable, she coughed until a tear dripped from the corner of her eye, she couldn't control herself, there was only frustration and despair in her eyes.

Why do you have such a cough, do you want to go to the hospital? Xia Yu asked.

I've already been there, the doctor asked me to rest at home. Shi Xiaonian smiled wryly and said, Don't worry, I'm fine.

Xia Yu looked at her worriedly, Why don't you live with me, so that my husband and I can take care of you.

No, I know you guys are preparing to create humans recently, I can't be a super-sized light bulb in the past? Shi Xiaonian sat up from the bed, took off the ice pack weakly, and said in a hoarse voice, Don't worry, I will be fine with Mr. Gong taking care of me.

Mr. Palace.

palace.

She doesn't even want to hear this surname now, should she change it?

No matter how good and smart it is, it's just a robot. What if it can't take care of you? Xia Yu said nervously, still wanting to get her into him.

It's okay, it's the same if I call you if there is a situation, isn't it? Shi Xiaonian said with a smile.

It's true, technology is very advanced now. Xia Yu nodded, Then you lie down and have a good sleep, I'll go to work first, and I'll talk to you about the comic book adaptation contract, call me if you need anything, you know?

understood.

Shi Xiaonian sat on the bed and nodded with a smile, watching her leave.

Xia Yu's figure disappeared into the bedroom, Shi Xiaonian's expression suddenly collapsed, she sat weakly on the bedside, her eyes stared blankly ahead.

Master, lie down and sleep. Mrs. Gong stood beside her bed, scanning her direction with a pair of black eyes.

Shi Xiaonian nodded, Yes.

She lay down with her eyes open, unable to sleep.

Shi Xiaonian was ill for a few days. When she thought she was almost recovered, she had a high fever. At first, she didn't feel it.

She didn't take her temperature until her head became more and more muddled.

39 and a half degrees.

Shi Xiaonian was frightened by the number on the thermometer, the high fever was raging.

No, she has to go to the hospital.

Shi Xiaonian lifted the quilt and got off the bed, her head was heavy and her eyes were dizzy. The whole bedroom was spinning and spinning fast. She was afraid that she would fall, so she quickly sat down on the bed and shouted, Mr. Palace, Mr. Palace!

When she spoke, her voice was hoarse and terrifying.

The night lights shone on her face, and her face became extremely haggard and pale.

Master. It took a while for Mr. Gong to come in from the outside, and it was called in by Shi Xiaonian just after it charged itself.

cell phone.

Shi Xiaonian spoke weakly, sitting on the bed and looking at the mobile phone on the bedside table, her vision was so dizzy that she was powerless to reach for the mobile phone, her fingers were trembling.

Her head was so heavy that she was dizzy.

Mr. Gong brought the phone to her, Shi Xiaonian reached out and grabbed the air several times before holding the phone, then struggled to find Xia Yu's phone number and dialed it.

The phone rang and no one answered.

Shi Xiaonian held the phone and bit her lip. She felt very uncomfortable, her head became more and more dizzy, and she decided to call 120.

Before the phone call was made, suddenly a strong lightning flashed outside the window, and the lights in the entire bedroom suddenly disappeared, and it was pitch black, followed by deafening thunder.

Boom.

Shi Xiaonian's head was dazed, her eyes suddenly went dark, she was startled, the phone fell from her hand, she raised her eyes and stared blankly at the surrounding darkness.

Darkness where you can't see your fingers.

out of battery.

There was no electricity because of thunder.

Shi Xiaonian opened her eyes wide in shock, the darkness in front of her eyes made her helpless and panicked, her lips trembled involuntarily.

Memories from childhood poured into her mind bit by bit.

She hastily stretched out her hand to grab Mrs. Gong, and held it tightly, Pick up my phone, it fell off.

Yes, master.

Mr Gong bent down, groped for the mobile phone on the ground and handed it to Shi Xiaonian.

Shi Xiaonian looked at it, and saw only a pair of eyes emitting a faint light from the top and bottom of Mrs Gong's body, the luminosity was very weak, not enough to illuminate the entire bedroom.

Can't you shine a little brighter?

Shi Xiaonian looked at it and asked, his voice filled with unspeakable fear.

She needs light.

Master, my battery is not enough. If I forcefully turn on the strong light mode, I will run out of battery in less than 3 minutes. Mr. Palace's program is set to take care of the owner first, so these days I mainly take care of her. Less charging, resulting in insufficient power.

Unfortunately, there was no electricity at this time.

Without electricity, she didn't even have the last support.

Don't turn it on.

Shi Xiaonian said quickly, looking at the phone, the phone seemed to be running out of battery.

Really.

How could it be that there was no electricity when she needed light so much.

Crack.

Suddenly, another strong lightning flashed, illuminating the whole room, as if it wanted to smash into the room.

That kind of light didn't make Shi Xiaonian feel at ease, this year it was rare to have such a loud thunder, as if it was very close to her.

Shi Xiaonian sat there groggy. After the thunder, the bedroom was filled with paint. With difficulty, she dialed 120 with her mobile phone, gave her address, and then sat on the bed and waited quietly.

But waiting in the dark is tormenting.

Her body was chilling intermittently, and her head was in a trance, as if it was loaded with stones.

She leaned against Mrs. Gong's body, feeling very uncomfortable, staying in the room made her feel inexplicably suffocated, as if someone would break in to steal things at any time, and take things away one by one beside her.

The ambulance hasn't come yet.

This feeling made her unable to stay any longer, she could no longer stay in the dark room, she wanted to go out.

Mr Gong, help me out, let's go out and wait for the ambulance. Shi Xiaonian put his hands on Mr Gong's body, supported himself to stand up, felt dizzy, nauseated, almost fell down.

Mr. Gong supported her in time, Master, I will carry you on my back.

it is good.

Shi Xiaonian closed her eyes, she could hardly open them, and when she opened them, she felt dizzy and extremely uncomfortable, she lay on Mrs Gong's back with her head drooping.

Bang.

There was thunder again, and the light of lightning intertwined with darkness, flickering and flickering, reflecting on her pale face.

Mr. Gong went out with her on his back, Shi Xiaonian slowly opened his eyes a little, and there was darkness in front of him.

Shi Xiaonian's breathing was a bit heavy, and the sound was longer than the sound.

So sad.

Really uncomfortable.

Shi Xiaonian was lying on Mrs. Gong's back in pain, and Mrs. Gong was going to open the door behind her back, when Shi Xiaonian suddenly heard a burst of neat footsteps from outside.

The sound of footsteps was very clear in the silent night, and it was mixed with the roaring thunder.

That sound is frightening.

Don't open the door.

Shi Xiaonian opened her mouth in a panic, her body trembling uncontrollably, she slid off the back of Mr. Gong, trembling every step, walked towards the door with top-heavy feet, and leaned against the door weakly, listening to the voices in the corridor outside .

Thief.

Could it be a thief?

Why are there so many footsteps, as if there are many people.

Shi Xiaonian was leaning against the door, pressing her head with her hands. She was tired and uncomfortable, and had no strength. She was terrified, really terrified...

What should I do.

She leaned on the wall and stumbled to the sofa, and sat down on the sofa with her hands tightly around her body, trembling with fear.

She is afraid of the dark, and even more afraid of thieves in the dark.

Master, don't you want to go out? Mr Gong asked standing beside her.

Don't, don't. Shi Xiaonian shook his head again and again, his memory was a little confused, and he only thought about all kinds of things when he was a child for a while, he was very dizzy, and his body was constantly chilling.

The thunder continued to torment her.

Lightning suddenly appeared in the living room, bright and then dark.

Shi Xiaonian hugged herself in pain.

vomit--

There was a sudden nausea in my stomach.

Shi Xiaonian sat on the sofa and vomited it out. In the dark, she didn't even touch the trash can. She vomited so much that she felt as if she had turned her entire stomach over.

The smell of vomit wafted through the darkened house.

Shi Xiaonian fell on the sofa in pain, only the sound of footsteps remained in her chaotic mind, her fingers tightly grasped her clothes.
