At this moment, LingFan casually turned his head and accidentally brushed against Xu Yanran's cheek.

Xu Yanran still had one last string that wasn't broken, and after being touched by LingFan, she seemed to wake up from a deep sleep.

Looking at the broken pen in her hand, Xu Yanran couldn't help but ask herself.

What am I doing?

"Xu Yanran, are you listening carefully?" LingFan felt that Xu Yanran beside him was a bit absent-minded and asked after coming back to his senses.

"I, I was just lost in thought." Xu Yanran let go of LingFan and hastily hid the broken pen in her pocket.

"Really? It's alright, I'll explain it again." LingFan didn't find it strange, as Xu Yanran was easily distracted.

It's fine to explain it again, it's not a big deal.

"Thank you." Xu Yanran's breathing became slightly hurried, and she still felt a bit uneasy.

LingFan stood up and stretched his neck, then looked at Xu Yanran.

Xu Yanran is not in a good state right now, LingFan concluded.

If that's the case, then take a break.

"Your complexion doesn't look good, take a rest." LingFan said and hesitated for a moment before reaching out to touch Xu Yanran's head.

This was the first time he had touched Xu Yanran's head.

"Mhm~"

Time flies, the sun sets.

Su Moran woke up from the lazy couch and saw that it was almost five o'clock.

"I slept for a bit too long. I wonder where LingFan is. He should be coming back soon, according to the time." Su Moran stretched lazily.

"Should I give LingFan a call?" Su Moran suddenly had this idea.

And once this idea emerged, Su Moran couldn't get rid of it.

After hesitating for a long time, Su Moran picked up the phone and dialed LingFan's number.

She didn't need to look it up in the contacts, she already knew LingFan's number by heart.

"Well, I'll leave first, I feel like you're not in a good mental state today. Honestly, I'm worried about you." LingFan packed up his things and spoke to Xu Yanran.

"I know, thank you for your concern." Xu Yanran remembered what happened in the afternoon and was a bit absent-minded, but she still smiled back at LingFan.

Seeing this, LingFan didn't say anything and sighed inwardly.

Just as LingFan was about to finish packing, his phone in his pocket rang.

LingFan took out his phone and saw that it was Su Moran's call.

Could it be that Su Moran has something to say to him?

"I'm going to answer the call." LingFan said to Xu Yanran next to him, and instinctively felt that it would be better not to answer this call next to Xu Yanran.

Xu Yanran glanced at him and did not answer him.

Seeing this, LingFan went to the restroom on his own.

After LingFan closed the restroom door, Xu Yanran quickly stood up and reached the front of the restroom door.

"Hey, Moran, what's the matter calling at this time?"

Although LingFan deliberately lowered his voice, Xu Yanran outside the restroom could hear it very clearly because it was too quiet.

"LingFan, why is your voice so low..."

"I'm not convenient to talk right now. What's the matter with calling me?"

"Well...there's nothing much, just asking when you'll come over."

"Right away, about ten minutes, just wait for me at home."

"Okay, I'll wait for you at home."

"Okay." After a simple response, LingFan quickly hung up the phone and decided to flush the toilet.

Damn it, why does it feel like there's so much pressure today... LingFan frowned inside the restroom.

Hey, Moran... these three words finally became the last straw that broke Xu Yanran's composure.Xu Yanran's last strand in her mind finally snapped. After LingFan hung up the phone, Xu Yanran quietly left from the door and headed towards her room.

So... LingFan is going to her house this late.

So, that girl's name is Moran.

So, LingFan has always affectionately called her that.

So, LingFan's words of concern for me were all fake.

So, LingFan went to that girl's house after leaving in the afternoon.

Perhaps, soon enough, LingFan will never come to give me tutoring again.

The person walking beside him, it's not me.

What should I do? It seems like I can't let go of his hand anymore.

Then I will forever keep LingFan here.

At this moment, Xu Yanran was like a puppet on strings, step by step walking towards the second floor. Numbly, she pushed open the door to her room and took out a taser from the desk drawer.

This was bought by Xu Zhonghao for her self-defense. After taking the taser, Xu Yanran walked towards her father's room.

With hollow eyes, Xu Yanran scanned the room and walked to a storage cabinet, opening its door.

Inside were various military cold weapons. Xu Zhonghao seemed to enjoy collecting these things.

After taking out an M9 bayonet, Xu Yanran squinted and examined it, then lightly scratched her finger with it.

There was immediately a blood trail on her artistic finger. Xu Yanran seemed satisfied with the sharpness of the dagger. After she put the dagger back in its sheath, she began looking for something else.

At this moment, LingFan came out of the bathroom. An unprecedented sense of danger struck LingFan's heart.

How could this be happening? Why does it feel like this?

This fearful intuition kept assaulting his soul.

The unease in LingFan's heart had reached a point where his whole body was trembling.

He hasn't felt this way in a long time.

"Is Xu Yanran here? I'm leaving first," trembling in his legs, LingFan forced himself to shout towards the second floor.

No one answered him. The hollow building only had his own voice, and the silence in the room was terrifying.

At this moment, LingFan heard a slight metallic collision sound, causing all of the hair on his body to stand on end involuntarily.

Grabbing his bag, LingFan quickly walked to the front door and pushed it open to escape.

Indescribable fear flooded LingFan's mind, urging him to leave this building quickly. As he was fleeing, something fell out of his bag and onto the doorstep, but LingFan didn't think about what it was.

I'll come back for it next time.

Looking back at the building after leaving, Xu's villa looked like a savage beast, thirsting for prey. The open door resembled a bottomless pit.

Thinking that Xu Yanran might still be in her room, leaving the door open at such a late hour was unsafe. LingFan endured the fear in his heart and reached out to close the door, then left the Xu residence.

"Brother Ling, you can't escape," Xu Yanran, on the second floor, watched LingFan's figure and smiled happily. She knew LingFan definitely went to Su Moran's house.

Holding a dagger in one hand, Xu Yanran put the handcuffs and taser on the floor into her small bag. The sound LingFan heard just now was indeed the handcuffs.

On her exquisite figure and enchanting face, there were hollow, lifeless eyes and a sinister smile, making Xu Yanran look like a broken doll.

With the bag on her back and the dagger in hand, Xu Yanran walked step by step towards the front door.
