If she hadn't tried to run away at the beginning, she might have been able to feign bravery and face his anger.
But the moment she turned to run, all her courage vanished, leaving only fear.
When people are afraid, they desperately seek ways to survive.
Chen Zhi looked around and came up with an idea.
Maybe she could jump off the balcony.
She looked down from the balcony. It was very high; jumping would surely cripple her.
What should she do?
Si Ye was continuously knocking on the door, each knock like a death knoll causing Chen Zhi to panic.
"Chen Zhi, did you hear me telling you to open the door? If you don't open it, I'll break it down!" the man's furious voice came from outside.
Hearing his threatening words, Chen Zhi suddenly calmed down.
Strangely enough, she would have been more afraid of him if he hadn't made threats, but as soon as he did, she wasn't scared anymore.
If she knew he meant harm, what was the use of being afraid? It was better not to be.
