nGrandpa Mo nodded his head and said,
" Yes, you did a great job.
"
nJust then Hoshen came back and said,
" Master it's done.
"
n
" What is done?
" Grandpa Mo asked.
n
" I asked Hoshen to turn off the lights of the entire villa.
" Grandpa Yang said.
n
" You- how can you do that? You know Ning gets a panic attack when-
"
nCutting grandpa Mo off, Grandpa Yang said,
" Yes yes I know but you know how stubborn Ning is. She will never stick to Yichan until she is forced to. There is no way she would dare to loiter around alone when it's dark. She will definitely cling onto Yichan.
"
nGrandpa Mo grinned and said,
" I see you have already planned everything.
"
n
" I am determined to make my granddaughter your granddaughter-in-law.
" Grandpa Yang said.
n
" Master we should leave, I think it's about to rain.
" Hoshen said.
n….
nInside the mansion.
n*THUD* *THUD* *THUD* *THUD*
n
" Grandpa open the door.
" Ning shouted.
n
" Grandpa this is not funny.
" Yichan said before banging the door.
nJust then the lights went off.
n
"Ahhhhh.
" Ning squealed before pouncing into Yichan's embrace.
n
" Woah.
" Yichan said before steadying himself.
nPlacing his hand on her shoulder, Yichan was about to push her away when he realised that she was trembling in fear.
nBanging at the door, Yichan shouted,
" Grandpa this is too much, open the door.
" before wrapping his arms around Ning.
nWith her head buried on his chest, Ning had her arms wrapped around his waist. She hated darkness and also felt very strange and suffocated in a pitch black room or place but when a familiar warmth started spreading all over her body, she managed to calm down.
nLetting out a mocking chuckle, Yichan said,
" Still scared of darkness and you still have the audacity to say that you don't need anyone to stand up for you. What was that line? Oh yes ' I am enough for myself'.
"
nWhen Ning did not say anything, Yichan sighed and hugged her tighter. He would be lying if he would say that having her in his arms did not feel good.
nLooking around, Yichan asked,
" Where is your phone?
"
nPulling herself back, Ning clutched onto his suit and said,
" On the couch.
"
nLetting her go, Yichan started walking the couch when he realised that Ning was holding his shirt and his suit.
nRealising that he was going somewhere leaving her alone, Ning pulled him back and asked,
" W-Where are you going?
"
n
" I am going to the couch so that I can call Guiren from your phone. Only he is the one who can help us out.
" Yichan said.
nWhen Ning did not let him go but instead tightened her grip around his shirt, Yichan asked,
" You want to come with me to the couch too?
"
nNing nodded her head and said,
" Yes, what if you get lost.
"
nYichan chuckled and said,
" Right, please lead me because I don't want to get lost while walking towards the couch which is just a few meters away from me.
" before walking towards the couch along with Ning.
nYichan frowned when he did not see Ning's bag on the couch.
n
" Are you sure you kept it here?
" Yichan asked.
nNing nodded her head and said,
" Yes I had kept it here. I think they took my bag away.
"
nYichan sighed and said,
" This is definitely their stupid plan.
"
nLooking around, Yichan asked,
" Where do you all keep the candles?
"
nNing shook her head and said,
" I don't know.
"
nYichan frowned and said,
" Hey, this is your place you should know.
"
nNing shook her head and said,
" I don't know but maybe it's on the kitchen shelf.
"
n
" Okay, you stay here and I'll go look for them.
" Yichan said.
n
"But-
"
nCutting her off, Yichan said,
" It's darker there, do you wanna go there?
" before pointing towards the kitchen.
nWhen Ning shook her head, Yichan said,
" Be good and stay here.
" before walking towards the kitchen.
