Gentle Sleep Instructor

Chapter 857 The Choice

Lin Muwan was stunned for a moment, and then, under Jiang Cheng's anxious gaze, she shook her head violently.

The sound of footsteps behind her was already very close, probably only 20 meters away. From the strange sound of the footsteps, Lin Muwan knew that it must be a very terrifying thing.

In such a chase, it was impossible to escape with a person on her back.

She didn't want to implicate this man who was sincerely helping her because of herself.

Her brother had told her not to cause trouble for others.

She struggled to tear off the page that had already been written on, and then quickly wrote three words on the next page: You go quickly!

But before she could hold up the notebook for Jiang Cheng to see, she was suddenly swept up by a force and landed on someone's back.

Lin Muwan's eyes suddenly became panicked. If this was the case, neither of them would be able to escape.

The footsteps behind them were getting closer and closer, giving the feeling that as long as she turned her head, she would see a twisted and terrifying figure rushing out of the mist behind her. She couldn't help but struggle, wanting Jiang Cheng to put her down.

"Don't move!" Jiang Cheng, carrying Lin Muwan on his back, began to accelerate. "I'll take you away!"

"No one has to die, we all have to live!" Jiang Cheng's voice floated in Lin Muwan's ear, and her fingers clutching the notebook clenched tightly.

Jiang Cheng wasn't bragging. His speed had always been very fast. In 30 seconds, he had left the pursuer far behind.

He was sweating a little, and fine strands of hair stuck to his forehead, making him look slightly embarrassed.

Gradually slowing down, Jiang Cheng also listened carefully.

He felt the body behind him was very stiff. He could guess that Lin Muwan's upper body was tense, without a sense of closeness, as if she hadn't recovered from the shock just now.

"Miss Lin." Jiang Cheng took a few breaths, then deliberately said in a strained voice, "You can change your posture on my back. This posture is uncomfortable for me."

"Why don't you try hugging me?" Jiang Cheng said, "This posture is good for both of us."

A few seconds later, Jiang Cheng felt two arms move from his shoulders, and then tentatively hugged him gently from behind, like a pet trying to please, with a bit of timid cuteness.

Jiang Cheng suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction. He couldn't say why, but he didn't remember having this feeling before, not even anything similar.

"Miss Lin." Jiang Cheng narrowed his eyes, deliberately putting on a lecherous voice and asked, "What do you think... of me as a person?"

Hearing Jiang Cheng's question, he could clearly feel the soft body behind him tremble slightly. The amplitude was not large, but it was very abrupt, which was exactly the effect Jiang Cheng wanted to achieve.

He hoped to use some clever questions to distract Lin Muwan, otherwise, under long-term high pressure, he was worried that Lin Muwan's spirit would not be able to hold on.

The hand clutching the notebook retracted, and Lin Muwan wrote on the notebook. A few seconds later, the notebook reached out and was carefully placed next to Jiang Cheng's face, trying not to block his vision.

There was only one word on it: "Good."

Seeing this, Jiang Cheng narrowed his eyes, as if his whole body felt comfortable.

But after thinking for a moment, he shamelessly asked, "Then what about me and your brother?"

"Brother is better." Lin Muwan said without hesitation.

Jiang Cheng deliberately put on a disappointed look, grumbling, "Okay, okay, after we all get out, I must find your brother to compete and let you see who is more outstanding between us."

"Shua shua shua—"

The sound of writing came from behind, and then another page appeared. This time, there were many more words on the page, with a hint of explanatory awkwardness, "Mr. Jiang, don't misunderstand. You are a very outstanding person, and of course, so is my brother."

The goal had been achieved, and Jiang Cheng no longer teased this seemingly nice girl. More importantly, his intuition told him that something abnormal had happened nearby.

His body began to feel cold, no, the surrounding temperature began to drop. The feeling was as if a very cold fellow had come near him.

An unspeakable feeling of terror spread, and Jiang Cheng couldn't help but shudder.

He didn't hear footsteps, so it shouldn't be the guy who came down from the elevator before.

Slowly, Jiang Cheng felt Lin Muwan behind him getting heavier and heavier. At first, he thought it was his own problem, but soon he realized that the problem was not with him.

Lin Muwan hadn't moved for a long time. Originally, the girl's body attached to his back had a soft curve, but now, it was as tight as steel.

He suddenly had a terrible guess: could Lin Muwan behind him have been replaced, and he was now carrying a ghost on his back?

Was it the killer demon!

The moment this guess emerged in his mind, it could no longer be dispelled.

He stopped. Before he could react, the hand on his shoulder retracted. The movement was very stiff. Soon, the notebook stretched out again. This time, the words on it were extremely chaotic.

"It's behind me." Lin Muwan wrote, "Put me down and leave!"

The handwriting looked like it was written by an elementary school student. It could be seen how much fear Lin Muwan had when she wrote these words.

No wonder Lin Muwan was behaving like this. It turned out that she was being targeted by a ghost.

Now, the killer demon was standing behind Lin Muwan.

To be precise, it was stepping on Lin Muwan's shadow.

Realizing that Jiang Cheng had no intention of letting go, Lin Muwan reached out, trembling, trying to pry open his hand and leave him.

After all, as one of the heirs of the Lin family, Lin Muwan had been influenced by her surroundings and knew something about such things, especially the death of Xia Qiang, which pushed this understanding of the killer demon to another climax.

Being targeted by such a thing was almost equivalent to being sentenced to death.

It was difficult to have a chance to escape, especially in this situation.

So, she didn't have much hope, and just didn't want to implicate another innocent person because of herself.

But her hand was suddenly grabbed. The next second, she felt the man in front of her tremble all over. Solid muscles bulged, and the hand clutching her wrist slowly exerted force, pulling her down from his back and placing her against the wall.

Soon, Lin Muwan's almost frozen body regained its ability to move.

As the price, Jiang Cheng's shadow was now being stepped on by another blurry figure.

"Run." Jiang Cheng gritted his teeth, only managing to squeeze out one word from the corner of his lips.

Lin Muwan didn't move. She raised her head and looked at Jiang Cheng, whose face was extremely pale.

"Run!" Jiang Cheng suddenly looked at Lin Muwan and shouted. The blood red in his eyes was like a sword, deeply piercing Lin Muwan's heart.

Lin Muwan bit her lip, stood up against the wall, and then ran towards the other end of the corridor without looking back.
