Chapter 28.4: I want to marry you tomorrow

With her mind in a mess, her irregular heartbeats plus the pain in her foot, He He could not sleep. She sat up and took a deep breath. She turned on the TV and after changing channels for a while, finally found a show that is able to hold her attention.

As a result, it is a horror, suspense and gore thriller. One suspense after another, becomes a chain. She could not keep her curiosity, despite bursting into cold sweat, she bite the corner of the pillow while half blocking her face. Finally the show ended and she lay down in relief. But as she closed her eyes, the darkness brought numerous horror illusions with gus.h.i.+ng blows. Beside her ears, she hear voices. There seems to be siren singing. Even the alarm clock ticking on her bedside seems in sprawling, feeling the room with terrible and scary frequency.

Trembling, He He switched on the desk lamp. In the s.h.i.+ne, there were obviously nothing. She wrapped up the clock with cloths and jumping on one leg, tucked the alarm clock to the farthest corner of her bedroom.

The rom has a side vanity mirror. She turned around and saw a flash of a figure. Her knees weaken, till she almost sat on the floor. Then she realized that it was her own image.

She patted her chest and went back into bed. She switched off the lights but still faintly could hear the ticking sound. The image from the movie pop into her mind and she started the feeling of fear in her heart again. Suddenly, she thought about the battery that could be taken out, so she jump out of bed to get the clock again.

The room is small. But tossing back and forth twice, she was sweating. She sighed and reflecting on her boring and impulsive actions tonight. Totally embarra.s.sing herself.

He He hopped on her foot to the side of the house. She put her ear to the wall, trying to listen to the movement next door. Zheng Xie’s bedroom is located on the other side of the wall. He has always been strict with his schedule. At this hour, he certainly would be asleep. He He was hopping to be able to hear the sound of his breathing. That way, she would not be so neurotic.

But the room is soundproofed very well. In additional to her own heart, she could hear nothing.

He He sat on the floor with her ear to the wall. This was more rea.s.suring to her. She stumbled and almost fell asleep. In such an abnormal chaos, she thought of dragging her quilt over and slept in such position.

Just then she heard a very light breathing. Not from the other side of the wall but from her side on the room. There is someone in her room.

He He was surprised and almost screamed. She had only switched on the bedside lamp, so the room is still half in darkness. Those shadowy objects were not clear. Her mobile phone is on the bedside table. Only the light green light were flas.h.i.+ng, rendering a tense atmosphere.
