Chapter 141: Uncle I'll Behave Myself 14_1

Baili Xia has no idea what’s going through her chaotic mind at this moment.

She just felt lost and helpless, sitting on the ground for quite a while.

It was only after her consciousness slowly returned that she abruptly stood up, rushing towards the door to bolt it shut from the inside.

What in the world had she done wrong?

Why had she come across such a terrifying individual?

All she wanted was to live a simple and ordinary life––was it really that difficult?

Groggily, even Baili Xia didn’t realize how she got into her bed and fell asleep, let alone pulling the blanket over herself.

However, she didn’t turn off the light that night because she was genuinely scared.

She was afraid that the madman would barge in again, doing something even more terrifying to her.

The entire scene of him strangling her was replaying in her mind.

For the first time, she felt the lightheadedness and near suffocation due to the lack of oxygen.

It was frightening, she was truly terrified that she would be strangled to death, and if that happened then…

No, she didn’t want to die!

She was still so young, she had to take care of her mom…

Groggily, Baili Xia drifted back into sleep out of sheer exhaustion.

In her sleep, she wasn’t sure where she was standing, but upon opening her eyes again, the handsome face of Mu Xiaoyao once again appeared clearly in her vision.

Indeed, he was handsome and attractive, but his eyes were unnervingly cold.

Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed her throat once again.

“No!

Don’t kill me!

Help!

Uncle, help!

No, no…”

Lying in bed, Baili Xia was constantly flailing her arms, as if struggling desperately.

“No!” Finally, the girl woke up completely, startled by her own scream.

She sat upright on the bed, and only after observing her surroundings, she began to breathe heavily.

Turns out it was just a dream!

Fortunately, it was just a dream!

However, the feeling was all too real – she felt like she had genuinely been struggling to breathe for a moment.

A truly terrifying feeling!

One that she wouldn’t forget for the rest of her life!

Baili Xia casually wiped the sweat from her forehead and picked up her phone from the bedside table.

It was just a few minutes shy of eleven.

She had been asleep for less than an hour…

Baili Xia sat on her bed, slowly regained her composure and lay herself down again.

However, the scenes from her dream had scared her to the point of losing any sleepiness she had left.

Baili Xia tossed and turned for a long time, but still she couldn’t fall asleep.

She rolled over again, her gaze unintentionally fixated on the window, staring into the pitch-black outside.

The face of the man, filled with rage and wanting to strangle her, appeared in the night like a picture.

Remembering that face, handsome enough to make countless girls scream, Baili Xia couldn’t help but shiver.

Instantly, cold sweat began to bead on her forehead.

She always felt as if a pair of eyes were staring at her from behind, making her uncomfortable.

Despite it being September, not yet deep into autumn, she didn’t feel the slightest bit warm.

Fear started to surge towards her like a tidal wave.

She was scared, truly scared.

Everyone in the world was afraid of death.

No!

She couldn’t stay here.

What if Mu Xiaoyao suddenly remembered something and decided to come after her tonight?

Even now, her neck still felt like a hand was squeezing it, making her breathing grow more and more difficult.

No!

She could no longer stay here!

If she continued to stay, she would either be strangled by Mu Xiaoyao or scared to death by him.

But where could she go?
