C4 (1/2)

Instinctively, Ye Jia guessed that it was the man's son or daughter. When the child saw Ye Jia, he walked over and stood in front of her. He looked at her and asked loudly, ”They said that you are the one that the heaven is going to beat to death?”

”Yes, it's me.” Ye Jia wanted to hate him, but she couldn't. She had no way to hate such a cute child. And … He called that man a celestial? Is that his name? What a domineering name, just like his own! Overbearing and cruel!

”But why don't you cry?” the child asked again. When he heard that the maids were gossiping, he thought there was a superman or an Ultraman! It took a lot of effort for him to secretly go to the engine room to turn off the cold air, and then wrap himself up in several tens of layers before he finally had the courage to walk in.

”May I ask, are you a man or a woman?” Ye Jia did not answer his question. She just stared at him and asked the question that was at the bottom of her heart.

The child's expression turned cold. Ye Jia was stunned as she saw the shadow of the devil on his face again. She hurriedly lowered her eyes, unwilling to look at him again.

”Of course I'm a man.” What kind of level is that?! He couldn't even tell if he was a man or a woman!

”Then can you tell me where we are?” Ye Jia looked at him and asked.

”This is my home!” Then, he quietly looked back at the direction of the door and whispered into Ye Jia's ear, ”I'll tell you a way to escape. It's under a plum tree in the backyard, and you just have to climb up the plum tree to jump out of the wall. I always jump out of there to play.”

With that, the little boy smiled proudly, as if it was a great thing that he had once escaped from.

Ye Jia looked at him with a surprised expression on her face. Was what he said true? Can we really escape there? So she asked carefully, ”Really?”

”Of course it's true.” The boy patted his chest in assurance. His ears were unusually sensitive, and he heard the sound of a car outside the window. He cried out in his heart, ”Oh no! The Heavenly Path is back! If he knows that I've turned the temperature around, he'll be in trouble! I'm leaving!”

As he spoke, he was already fleeing in the direction of the door. As the door was about to close, he suddenly stuck his head in. He turned to Ye Jia, ”My name is Long Shengjie, what about you?”

”My name is Ye Jia.” For the first time in the past few days, she showed a sincere smile. The small head that was stuck in the middle of the door nodded and disappeared, the door then closed once again.

Ye Jia laid on the bed and thought back to the scene just now. Was Long Shengjie's words trustworthy? Was there really a way out? His eyes were so pure that it didn't seem like he was lying at all. No matter what, she had to make a bet. Since she was going to die anyway, why not make a bet before she died?

Thinking of this, Ye Jia struggled to stand up. She was so hungry that her chest was on her back, and her whole body was in pain. She didn't even have the chance to get out of the bed. In order to escape, her gaze swept the room before landing on the food on the bedside table.

The food was already freezing cold, but in order to have enough energy to escape, Ye Jia couldn't care less. He picked up the food and began to eat. After being hungry for so many days, even though the food was cold, to her, it was much more delicious than the delicacies of the sea and the mountains that Ye Xiangfei usually brought her to eat.

After finishing all the food on the table, Ye Jia immediately felt better. She was no longer so weak that she couldn't even stand up. The temperature in the room cooled down again, and she knew that the boy must have turned the temperature back to its original state!

After eating to their heart's content, they wouldn't feel as uncomfortable even if they were cold. Ye Jia walked into the bathroom and took a hot shower. She rummaged through all the closets in the room, but couldn't find a single piece of clothing that could cover her entire body. If she wanted to escape, she would have to wear at least one piece of clothing.

This man was truly ruthless! Absolutely! Ye Jia thought to herself, the method of imprisoning people was also abnormal to the extreme!

She had no choice but to hide under the blanket again. The only place that could give her warmth was there! She thought of Sister Ling's words, telling her to get up and work faster. If she wanted to walk out of this room and put on a set of clothes, then she could only quickly get better!

Sister Ling came in with dinner at six or seven in the evening. She looked at the dishes and bowls that had been swept clean. Sneering, he said, ”Didn't you say that you wouldn't eat it? I thought you had guts! What a bitch! ”

With that, he placed the dinner on the table and began to clear up the dishes. Ye Jia did not pay attention to her ridicule. She picked up the food that she just brought in and started to eat.

”Even if it's the reincarnation of a hungry ghost, there's no need for a monkey to be so anxious, right?” Sister Ling said mockingly as she looked at her wolfing down her food.

Ye Jia was still unmoved. She said lightly, ”I can now work.”

Sister Ling sized her up and couldn't help but laugh. ”Are you scared while staying in this freezer? You want to go out? ”Just you wait, wait for me to go back and think it over before I decide whether or not I want you to leave this room.” After saying that, he took the bowl and walked out!

Ye Jia watched her back as she left. She smiled wryly in her heart. She wasn't in a hurry to leave this freezing room. She just wanted to wear a set of clothes!
