Just as he opened the door, he heard the cries of cats, like wails of ghosts and howls of wolves, which annoyed him.
As he walked upstairs, the cats in the cages saw him and got so frightened that they didn't dare to scream loudly anymore, occasionally letting out a small meow.
Chen Zhi noticed the cessation of the noise and immediately threw off the covers and sat up.
"Si Ye, are you outside?"
"..."
Chen Zhi tried asking again, "Si Ye, have you come? Hey, say something."
"..." Still, no one answered her.
Chen Zhi felt a sense of horror, wondering if it might be a thief who had entered.
She reached out for the table lamp and held it in her hand, ready to use it against anyone who might break in.
The man could sense her nervousness and deliberately stamped his foot on the ground, amplifying the sound of his footsteps for effect.
There really was someone!
Chen Zhi froze for a moment, breaking out in a cold sweat all over her body.
"Si Ye, is that you?"
"..."
