Tang Xia got out of bed trembling, holding the phone tightly with her right hand, the palm of which was already soaked in sweat.

At first she thought she was delusional, and she held her breath and listened quietly for a while. But when I really settled down and listened carefully, my scalp was numb.

That's not an illusion!

Tang Xia can be sure that she did hear the sound of the door being unlocked!

At that moment, the brain went blank, and the sudden fear overwhelmed the consciousness, which made the girl nervous about the unpredictable danger that could not be foreseen.

She swallowed hard, as if she wanted to swallow the heart that jumped into her throat. Then he managed to stabilize his emotions, and walked out slowly with his hands on the wall.

The house is huge and empty, and the living room is also quiet.

But the quieter it was, the clearer the rustling sound of unlocking the door.

Tang Xia covered her mouth, not even daring to breathe hard, and tiptoed towards the door.

She was frightened, very frightened.

It doesn't matter who is standing outside the door and what the purpose of unlocking it is.

The important thing is, what should she do now?

thief? Did the thief come for the money? If she went to school as usual today, would the thief have ransacked the house? But now that she was at home, if she saw the thief's face...would her life be in danger?

All of a sudden, all the scenes of burglary and murder that he had witnessed on the news flooded into Tang Xia's mind.

She was sweating from fright, her back felt cold, but her consciousness became clear instead.

Gathering her mind, Tang Xia turned the phone on silent, tremblingly replied a message from Han Yu, then kicked off the slippers, stepped on the floor with bare feet, and walked cautiously step by step on tiptoe.

The girl dared not make the slightest sound.

The door was getting closer and closer, her heart was beating wildly, and Tang Xia was so overwhelmed by the overwhelming fear that she couldn't breathe. The cat's eye is on the door, and she only needs to take a step forward to see who is outside the door.

But it takes a lot of courage.

Tang Xia was terrified, and now she was a little thankful that she had the habit of locking the anti-theft lock. But she wasn't sure how strong and patient the people outside were at unlocking, so she gritted her teeth and thought about it, and decided to call the property first.

Thinking of this, Tang Xia turned on the phone, and there were many unread messages and missed calls on the screen, all of which belonged to Han Yu. She knew that if she didn't reply to him now, he would be very worried, but Tang Xia really didn't have time to explain to Han Yu, so she just quit temporarily, found the number of the property in the address book, and walked to the sofa in the living room with small steps, shrinking her body anxiously wait.

The other person picked it up quickly, and the voice was a man with a rough voice, full of dialect. Tang Xia was afraid of alarming the people outside, so she covered her phone with her hand and whispered, "Is it the property? I'm—"

"Speak up, I can't hear you! Hello?" The man interrupted before Tang Xia finished speaking, "Where are you?"

Tang Xia was so anxious that she was about to cry, she suppressed her voice and tried to speak clearly, "I am the one—"

"Beep beep—"

The other party hung up the phone, and before hanging up, he muttered: "Why is there no sound?"

Tang Xia's heart suddenly turned cold.

"Crack."

She was startled, turned her head stiffly, and looked at the door dully.

Just now...was it the sound of the lock opening?

Tang Xia gasped, stood up in a hurry, clenched her hands into fists, seemed to muster up all her courage, and finally made up her mind to go to Maoyan.

She couldn't get in touch with the property, and she was a little flustered in an instant. The feeling of being alone and helpless is really very uncomfortable. But this time, Tang Xia's first thought was not his father, not his elder brother.

It was Han Yu.

With red eyes, she opened the boy's call with trembling fingers, and then quickly dialed it.

Knowing that it was useless to call Han Yu, Tang Xia persisted stubbornly.

Even knowing that he should be in class now and couldn't answer the phone, she didn't give up.

But what was surprising was that Tang Xia couldn't believe the speed at which the other party answered.

Han Yu answered in seconds.

"Tang Xia?" As soon as the phone was connected, Han Yu's anxious words came, "What's the matter, who is outside your house? Are you alright?" The young man's worry was obvious, even unprecedented. panic.

Tang Xia's suffocated tears flowed down instantly.

"Han Yu..." the girl yelled in a low voice, and tears fell like broken pearls, "Looks like a thief, I dare not look at it, I'm afraid..." She choked up, and said a few words intermittently.

But the boy still understood.

He lowered his eyebrows, thought for a while, and said, "Don't worry, you go to the door to see if it's a thief." After finishing speaking, Han Yu paused, and his tone softened, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Han Yu's words seemed to have magic power, reassuring for no reason.

"En." Tang Xia clenched her fists and slowly approached the cat's eyes.

She first saw a peaked cap, black, under the brim was a man's face, very thin, but due to the angle problem, she could barely see the unshaven green and black beard on the man's chin.

He pressed the door so close that Tang Xia couldn't see the movements of his hands clearly, but he could clearly feel the sneakiness of the visitor.

After all, the sound of unlocking never stopped.

Even though he knew clearly that the other party couldn't see him, Tang Xia was still terrified. After taking a look, he immediately backed away, ran to the sofa and squatted down, more cowardly than a thief.

"Look, watch it, I'm sure." Tang Xia stammered.

"Tang Xia, turn on the speakerphone." Han Yu's calm and powerful voice was so unquestionable.

"Ah?" The girl was stunned, a little confused.

The boy locked himself in the boys' toilet, sat calmly on the toilet and said, "Go to the door and turn on the speakerphone."

Tang Xia hesitated, "What are you doing?"

"Help you," Han Yu answered quickly, and finally urged, "Hurry up, or you will be in trouble when he unlocks and comes in." He is starting from school now, and even if he takes a taxi to Tang Xia's house, it will be too late. The most urgent thing is to scare away the thief .

Tang Xia gritted her teeth, put all her trust in Han Yu, and tapped the "hands-free" button.

As soon as it was turned on, the boy's cold but clear voice came through the screen——

"Hey, I've been seeing you for a long time."

Tang Xia was so startled by his words that his hairs stood on end!

Also frightened was the man outside the door!

"The door lock of my house is very strong and cannot be opened easily," Han Yu continued calmly, "If you continue to open it, the property will arrive."

The man suddenly raised his head, with unbelievable surprise flashing in his eyes.

Tang Xia hurriedly looked at the cat's eyes, deeply remembering this face with sunken cheeks and slightly sallow.

At that time, the boy was on the toilet with his legs crossed, and said leisurely: "The property is not here, and the police should be here."
