The dangerous pressure emanating from Su Zhen instantly vanished. He looked at Ruan Qing behind him and said with a light laugh, “You didn’t open the door for so long. I thought you might be in some kind of danger.”

The Life and Death Casino forbid the use of force. Not everyone was as defiant as Su Zhen. This reason was quite unconvincing.

But Ruan Qing couldn’t say anything, he just looked at Su Zhen defensively, as if he were some kind of terrifying beast.

Yet, he appeared completely non-threatening.

Like a little kitten who couldn’t even walk steadily, wary of its owner’s approach, only making him look particularly adorable.

Making people want to bully him.

However, the young man was not the harmless little kitten he used to be, more like a little fox.

A superb actor and a little liar.

Ruan Qing lowered his eyes to avoid Su Zhen’s aggressive gaze, and softly said, “...It’s getting late. I want to rest.”

These words were clearly meant to send Su Zhen away.

However, Su Zhen had no intention of leaving. He walked towards the sofa, as if he intended to stay for a while.

Seeing this, Ruan Qing’s mind tightened, and his heart started racing.

Su Zhen’s sharp instincts were not low; the longer he stayed, the more likely he was to be discovered.

He absolutely could not let him stay.

Moreover, the sofa was near the window, making it highly likely to be discovered.

Ruan Qing tried hard to calm himself down.

In the next second, an expression of unease and fear appeared on his delicate face, as if he was afraid of what Su Zhen might do if he stayed.

As time went by, he became more and more frightened. Finally, in a panic, he directly pushed Su Zhen on the back. “You... you go out.”

“I don’t like others entering my room. If you have something to say, say it at the door.”

Ruan Qing pushed Su Zhen towards the door, clearly intending to push him out.

But with Ruan Qing’s little strength, it was impossible to move Su Zhen, like a fledgling bird trying to shake Mount Tai.

However, the moment Ruan Qing pushed, Su Zhen froze, instinctively moving in the direction Ruan Qing pushed.

Even through the clothes, Su Zhen could feel the softness and warmth of the touch, which made him a bit at a loss.

It also made him feel very uncomfortable.

To the point that all the power in his body came to a halt.

Apart from fighting and killing, Su Zhen had never been this close to anyone, let alone allowed anyone to touch his back.

The first person he ever held in his arms was Ye Qing.

Ye Qing was clearly a man, but completely different from him. Ye Qing was unbelievably soft, and Su Zhen didn’t dare to use too much strength while holding him.

He was afraid that if he used too much force, Ye Qing would break.

Su Zhen had never treated anyone so carefully.

So he was very clear about his feelings—he liked Ye Qing.

When he saw Ye Qing smiling at his avatar, he seemed to have completely fallen.

In the past, he only wanted to seize the power of the game to strengthen himself, but now he had another goal.

To make Ye Qing belong to him.

This goal even surpassed the first one.

Since Ye Qing ran away, he had no interest in finding the game’s bugs and spent all his time looking for traces and shadows of Ye Qing.

Su Zhen glanced sideways at the person pushing him, his usual indifferent expression carrying a hint of darkness and danger.

This time, he wouldn’t give him the chance to escape.

Whether he was willing or not, Ye Qing would belong to him.

Belonging only to him.

Because Su Zhen was compliant, Ruan Qing smoothly pushed him out the door.

Ruan Qing didn’t close the door directly, but held it tightly. “You... don’t come in again.”

Su Zhen, seeing Ruan Qing holding the door as if afraid he would come back in, raised an eyebrow slightly and said, “Are you that afraid of me?”

Ruan Qing lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes trembling uneasily, and finally whispered, “Mm.”

Ruan Qing didn’t give Su Zhen another chance to speak. “I really need to rest now. Let’s talk tomorrow if there’s anything.”

“Good night.”

After saying that, Ruan Qing shut the door.

But he didn’t leave the door; he just leaned against it, listening for any sounds outside.

The soundproofing at the Life and Death Casino was quite good, so he couldn’t hear any footsteps.

Ruan Qing couldn’t be sure if Su Zhen had left or not.

The boy maid, after hearing no noise from inside the room, poked his head out from the window.

Seeing this, Ruan Qing widened his eyes and immediately waved his hand to make him hide again.

After all, if Su Zhen sensed something was off, he could come back at any time.

Ruan Qing had to make sure Su Zhen had really left.

The boy maid, seeing Ruan Qing waving his hand, pouted and hid back again.

Only then did Ruan Qing breathe a sigh of relief. After waiting for about ten minutes without any movement, he went to the bedside and picked up a tablet.

He then turned on the surveillance at the door.

No one was there.

It was clear the person at the door had indeed left.

Only then did Ruan Qing completely relax.

Seeing this, the boy maid climbed in from outside the window.

However, he froze halfway in, staring directly at the sofa.

Even Ruan Qing sensed something was wrong. He didn’t look up, but his hand holding the tablet tightened slightly.

An uneasy feeling gradually rose in his heart.

It felt as if there was some kind of danger at that moment.

Moreover, the sense of impending danger was growing stronger and stronger.

Ruan Qing slowly raised her head and looked towards the sofa.

At some point, someone had sat on the sofa.

It was... Su Zhen!

Ruan Qing’s pupils contracted, his eyes widened, and his expression froze instantly. He stood rigidly in place.

Even his face turned a shade paler.

[Oh wow! Caught in the act, well, in the room. I don’t know why, but this feels even more thrilling than catching them in bed!]

[Geez, this is deadly. I can feel the terror through the screen. Husband is probably done for; he won’t be able to get out of bed for three days.]

[Three days? I’d say that’s an understatement. Su Zhen is clearly being underestimated here. I bet the streamer will be a rag doll (suddenly excited.JPG).]

Su Zhen observed Ruan Qing’s expression and reaction, chuckled softly, and repeated the question she had asked at the door, “Am I that scary?”

“If you’re so afraid of me, why do you keep doing things I don’t like?”

Although Su Zhen’s tone sounded normal, Ruan Qing’s body instinctively tensed up, his hairs standing on end.

Every cell in his body was screaming to run.

Yet, he didn’t dare to run, nor could he.

Ruan Qing pressed his lips tightly together, not saying a word.

Seeing his silence, Su Zhen spoke slowly and deliberately, “Do you want to explain?”

Su Zhen’s voice remained the same, but despite the seemingly calm tone, it inexplicably conveyed a sense of coldness and danger.

It instilled fear in people.

The air was thick with a palpable sense of danger, making one’s skin crawl.

It felt as if something terrifying was nearby, ready to kill anything alive in the next second.

The pressure was suffocating.

Ruan Qing, his face ashen, lowered his eyes to avoid Su Zhen’s gaze. His body trembled slightly, and he whispered, “…It’s not what you think.”

“I don’t know him.”
