He sprang to his feet, startled. There was a dark mass of shadow under the table. It felt like someone was hiding under it.
"Who's that!" The boy's eyes narrowed cautiously.
Seeing this, Gong Jie moved towards him warily. "What's the matter?"
The boy told him, "Someone's hiding down there."
Alarmed by those words, Gong Jie glanced over and demanded, "Who's down there!"
"Shhhh." A childish voice came from under the table.
The boy could tell from the voice that it was probably coming from a seven- or eight-year-old girl. A young girl? There was actually someone in this room?
Gong Jie was equally surprised. He hadn't paid much attention when he'd entered the room with the boy, but given his vigilance, he normally wouldn't have been unaware of anyone in the room until now.
The girl was just hiding there, even her breathing was light as a feather.
