Chapter 868: Chapter 868: She’s Going to Freeze to Death
"Then let’s start now."
"Mm, I’ll start counting. One, two..."
An Ruo quietly got up and headed upstairs, as lightly as possible. Tang Yuchen was in the study at this time, according to his routine over the past few days, he would soon enter the bedroom and stay there for a few hours.
She was not only curious about what he was doing but also worried that he was hiding something from them.
Pushing open the bedroom door, An Ruo crawled under the bed and hid quietly. She counted the time, and sure enough, a few minutes later, she heard Tang Yuchen’s footsteps coming in.
He closed the door and locked it. He then closed the window, drew the curtains, and An Ruo heard the beeping sound of the air conditioner remote.
The indoor temperature gradually rose, and soon An Ruo felt like she was in the scorching summer heat, sweating nonstop.
Tang Yuchen sat on the bed, his feet right next to her. She didn’t know what his expression was at the moment; she guessed he was so cold, yet he set the temperature so high.
Time passed second by second.
Tang Yuchen kept sitting still, and An Ruo lay there without daring to move, not even daring to breathe.
She didn’t know how long it had been, but when An Ruo was soaked in sweat from the heat, she heard the beeping sound of the remote again.
The temperature dropped sharply, leaving her shivering.
Because the villa’s temperature was not low, An Ruo had been wearing very thin clothes — capri pants and a white pure cotton short sleeve. At this moment, the temperature felt like a person in short sleeves suddenly arriving at the North Pole, so cold it felt deadly.
She clung to her body tightly, clenching her teeth, afraid that they would chatter and bite her tongue.
So cold!
What was wrong with Tang Yuchen? Why did he set the temperature so low?
An Ruo turned pale from the cold, feeling dizzy, unsure of what to do. If it continued like this, she’d be in trouble.
She didn’t dare to make a sound or come out. She could only curl up as much as possible, trying to reduce the loss of heat.
Ten minutes passed, and the temperature was still so low. Twenty minutes passed, and it remained just as cold.
What exactly was Tang Yuchen doing!
Wasn’t he afraid of the cold? Why was he sitting still?
An Ruo kept cursing him in her heart, but he knew nothing of it.
Cold, so cold!
Now, An Ruo truly understood what it means to feel like years are passing by every day, no, every second.
Every passing second felt like she was about to die. A minute felt too long for her, as if spanning a century.
The blood in her body began to coagulate, and dizziness clouded her vision. She was going to freeze to death.
No, she couldn’t die like this...
An Ruo couldn’t care about anything else now; she used her last bit of strength and slowly reached out... grasping Tang Yuchen’s pants.
She wondered what kind of shocked expression he would have, suddenly being grabbed by someone under the bed.
She wasn’t afraid of how furious he might be upon seeing her; she just wanted to live, not leave this world prematurely.
Tang Yuchen was indeed surprised to find someone under the bed, but he wasn’t scared. There weren’t many things in this world that could frighten him.
He quickly crouched down and spotted An Ruo inside.
Seeing her condition, his eyes quickly showed a trace of panic.
An Ruo laughed inwardly; she had indeed frightened him.
Of course, if she were sitting on the bed and someone suddenly grabbed her foot from below, she’d probably be scared half to death.
"I’m sorry..." An Ruo weakly said.
