"Great! (Giggles)"
Li Shi smiled at Ai Ya's swift reply, thinking that it was his responsibility to take care of this young girl in the secluded mountain village. He hurriedly got out of bed, put on his slippers, and prepared to wait for her in the hallway.
As he walked into the living room, he heard a noise outside.
That was fast...
Had she been prepared to come over all along?
A thought flashed through Li Shi's mind as he quickened his pace to open the wooden door.
There was no one outside.
Stepping out and looking to the left, the young girl was standing by her door, as if something terrifying might be hidden in the pitch-black courtyard outside.
Her behavior reminded Li Shi of his own childhood.
Once, after watching the Hong Kong drama "My Date with a Vampire", he was afraid to go out at night.
