816 A Million Times for You 178 (1/2)

Xiao Bai used the tray to serve three bowls of tomato and vegetable noodles.

He placed the tray on the table and used a pair of chopsticks to pick up a few strands of noodles that he threw into the small cage. The two hungry white rats could not afford to be picky with their food and started munching on it vigorously.

The three had their eyes fixed on the small cage as they watched the white rats eating happily.

After eating the noodles, the two rats lay there, not moving an inch. The three exchanged glances, then Xiao Bai opened the cage and used his hand to poke the white rat, but it lay completely still.

He whispered under his breath, ”Did they pass out?”

An Xiaoning replied, ”Let's wait and see.”

Xiao Bai then proceeded to close the rat cage.

”When you went down just now, did you see the woman eating downstairs?”

Xiao Bai nodded seriously. ”Yes, she was eating with the old fellow. One look and you could tell she is a brainless thing.”

”Not necessarily.” An Xiaoning took out a sharp and thin pocket knife from her bag, removed her socks, and stood on the bed. She then took the knife and started forcefully carving a hole on the wall partition.

On the other side of the wooden partition she was carving was none other than the new lady's room.

Now, her and Fan Shixin's room was in the middle, Xiao Bai's was on the other side, and the woman's was on this side.

Without much effort, she managed to carve an extremely small hole.

Placing her eye against the wooden partition, she found that it was just enough to see the full view of the room's interior. She had originally thought that she would be able to spy on the young lady at night, but this small hole proved completely useless for that.

She got down from the bed and told Xiao Bai, ”Carry one bowl of the noodles back to your room. Pour them into a plastic bag and hide it under the bed. We'll all pretend to be asleep and see what exactly this old fellow is up to.”

Xiao Bai immediately took the bowl of noodles back to his room.

Fan Shixin took a bag while An Xiaoning poured two bowls of noodles into it, tied it up, and threw it under the bed. They then put on the pretense of having passed out, with Fan Shixin leaning over on the table while An Xiaoning was bending over on the bed.

They then closed their eyes and acted like they were unconscious.

After half an hour, a few knocks sounded on the other side of the door.

The one outside the door did not hear any sound and a smile crept on this person's face. After taking out a key to open the door, the person strode in with big steps.

An Xiaoning and Fan Shixin did not open their eyes and didn't even dare to leave them half-open.

They took such pains to hold it in only for one reason: to find out what the person was up to.

From the sound of the footsteps the person took, it evidently was not the elder.

The footsteps were powerful and definitely belonged to that of a younger person.

According to their judgment, the person that entered had to be someone young.

Their guess was correct as the person who was in the room at the present moment was not the elder but the lady who'd moved in just today.

She took out a knife and first held it against Fan Shixin's neck to test him, then held it against An Xiaoning's neck thereafter. If not for the high tolerance level of the two, they would not have been able to keep it in any longer.

After all, they were not completely sure if the woman was trying to test them or kill them.

After testing them out, the woman raised her hand and brought the phone in her hand closer to her lips, muttering, ”Okay.”

With that, she went out of the room. From the sound of her footsteps, she seemed to have gone to Xiao Bai's room next door.

Xiao Bai was forcefully dragged out of the room by the woman. Even then, he did not reveal any sign that would give him away.
