After Sister-in-law Liu dropped those words, she yawned and left, and the other servants also retreated to their respective rooms to rest after finishing their work for the day.

The room was empty in an instant, and Xia Yan felt more and more bored in her heart, but at this moment, she could only speed up the movements in her hands to rest early.

I don't know how long it took, but when Xia Yan finally finished all the work and was about to get up, the huge villa suddenly went dark without warning.

"Ah!!h Faced with this fear from the darkness, Xia Yan couldn't help but scream.

At this time, she happened to be in the grocery room, which was the most remote part of the villa, and there were few people on weekdays, and the eerie silence and the sudden darkness inevitably made her feel scared.

Xia Yan took a step, but suddenly felt that it was difficult to move an inch, perhaps because of fear, she couldn't help but tremble her feet.

Black, too dark.

Such darkness made those terrible images involuntarily resurface in her mind.

She deeply remembers that in her childhood, because of a parent's negligence, she was locked in a small room alone, when she was alone in the room quietly watching the dusk outside the window turn into darkness, only to feel as if she had also fallen into a terrible black hole.

Although her parents finally remembered her later and took her out that night, the shadow of childhood is easy to accompany people for a lifetime, and at this moment, Xia Yan's body can't help but tremble, and her eyes are gradually moistening.

Faced with the darkness of the room, she felt that there was nothing she could do.

……

Yan Yichen was handling official business in the study, the lights in the room suddenly dimmed, and after a while, the housekeeper came with an emergency light, "Young master, I just confirmed that it is our area that is repairing the circuit, please wait for fifteen minutes." ”

"Hmm." The man reluctantly put the information in his hand back on the table, pinched his eyebrows, got up, and walked out, using the light of the housekeeper's flashlight, but he didn't see the girl downstairs.

Yan Yichen turned his head sideways and asked the housekeeper, "What about her?" ”

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, and then quickly understood who the "she" in Yan Yichen's words was referring to, so he hurriedly replied: "Young grandma just went to clean the grocery room and hasn't come back yet." ”

Hearing this, Yan Yichen's brows frowned slightly, and after hesitating for a while, he took the flashlight in the housekeeper's hand and walked in the direction of the grocery room.

The grocery room was in a relatively remote place on the left side of the villa, and when Yan Yichen walked to the door, he faintly heard a girl's whimper.

Yan Yichen's footsteps paused, listened for a while, and after confirming that he had heard correctly, he quickened his pace and walked into the grocery room.

He turned his flashlight around the room, hoping to find the source of the sound.

After looking around, Yan Yichen's gaze suddenly fell on the girl who was hiding in the corner.

He walked slowly over, and saw that the girl was crouching on the ground, curled up and sobbing continuously.

"Get up." Yan Yichen said coldly.

The words fell, but the girl's body was still motionless.

Yan Yichen's eyes flashed with impatience, squatted down in front of her, and forcefully picked up the girl's head buried deep in her knees.

But as soon as the girl raised her head, Yan Yichen suddenly caught a glimpse of her tear-stained face and red and swollen eyes, and the hand holding her head involuntarily loosened. I love eBooks

The girl's head drooped again, and she raised her hand to cover her eyes, not knowing whether she wanted to cover her own embarrassment, or simply wanted to avoid the glare of the man's flashlight.

After a moment of silence, the man spoke again, "What are you crying for?" ”

When the words fell, the girl opened her mouth, and after trying a few times, all the words seemed to be stuck in her throat, and she couldn't utter a single word.

Seeing Xia Yan's reaction, Yan Yichen's face crossed a touch of incomprehension and inquiry, his brows furrowed even deeper, and his tone was still indifferent, "Xia Yan, what the hell do you want to do?" ”

Isn't it just to let her do more work, isn't it just a sudden power outage, and she is so pitiful?

Hearing the man's words, Xia Yan's heart ached inexplicably, and then she shook her head, clenched her fists, and forced herself to pluck up the courage to stand up, without looking at the man, and walked out step by step.

"Answer." Yan Yichen spoke again impatiently.

Xia Yan's footsteps paused slightly, and after hesitating for a while, she finally spoke: "Yes...... I'm sorry...... I didn't mean to. ”

It's okay that she didn't speak, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Yan Yichen immediately heard the hoarseness in her voice.

How long has she been crying, and how fierce she is crying, to suddenly toss her throat like this?

Yan Yichen quickly walked behind her, grabbed her hand, and turned her body, forcing the girl to face him.

At the same time, the electrical circuit in the villa suddenly returned to normal, the lights in the grocery room suddenly turned on, and the girl's small face was immediately exposed to him.

He had just shone a flashlight on it, and he only glanced vaguely a few times.

At this time, the surrounding lights were bright, Yan Yichen could see every corner of the girl's face, there were a lot of tears on her face at this time, and a pair of originally clear eyes were full of disappointment and sadness at this time, and the red eyes made his heart tense inexplicably.

The girl didn't shy away from his scrutinizing gaze, just quietly let him explore, her eyes were extremely empty, as if there was nothing she could care about at this time.

Yan Yichen took a deep breath, restrained the irritability in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "You...... Afraid of the dark? ”

Hearing the word "black", Xia Yan's body trembled slightly involuntarily.

The girl pursed her lips and didn't answer, but her reactions fell into Yan Yichen's eyes one by one.

He quickly understood, and was about to say something, when he noticed that the girl's face was very wrong.

Xia Yan's cheeks were flushed, but her delicate lips were slightly white at this time.

"Are you not feeling well?" Yan Yichen leaned a little closer to her.

And in the next second, before Xia Yan could nod, her feet suddenly softened, and the whole person fell into the man's arms.

Yan Yichen was stunned for a moment, lowered his eyes to look at Xia Yan, whose eyes were closing tightly and becoming more and more ugly, and then quickly reacted, and ordered to the subordinate who happened to be passing by outside: "Go and call a doctor!" ”

After saying that, he bent down and picked up the girl horizontally, and walked out quickly.

The doctor soon arrived, and Yan Yichen waited by the girl's side, waiting for the doctor's diagnosis.
