Chapter 749: Chapter 434 Hide and Seek_3
Zhou Wenfei jolted awake, his eyes opening slightly.
He had no idea why the stranger knew his na; the woman’s voice had always sounded foreign to him, and why would she co to his house looking for him?
In the instant his eyes opened, a dark shadow suddenly leaned over from behind, stopping at the sa level as Zhou Wenfei’s head, motionless, also facing forward.
Zhou Wenfei startled, his gaze shifted sideways, not daring to turn his head, and he saw so long hair hovering just above his right shoulder.
The hair was not only long but also thick, obscuring the view of the person’s profile.
Zhou Wenfei’s whole body trembled like a sieve.
The long hair hovering above his shoulder suddenly moved, as if the head was turning to face him.
The long hair that had been hanging over his face began to slide off, revealing the woman’s visage.
Just as she was about to turn towards him, Zhou Wenfei quickly diverted his gaze and closed his eyes again.
A cold breath approached him, he could sense that the person’s face was not far away, as though an entrance to a frigid cave had appeared by his side.
“Zhou… Wen… Fei.”
The woman’s voice reached his ears once more, still hoarse, hollow, devoid of any emotion.
As long as he didn’t move, it was as if she couldn’t see him, just incessantly calling out.
The cold breath receded, and Zhou Wenfei, not responding, felt the woman’s head pulling away from him, slowly retreating behind him, not to appear again.
Zhou Wenfei was playing dead, eyes tightly shut, head unturned due to the tension, he could no longer feel his own breathing and was all ears, listening for any movent from behind.
Now, the coldness and the suffocating feeling were gone, as if the woman had moved away from him.
After a mont, Zhou Wenfei felt less frightened and wanted to open his eyes.
But just then, his shoulder suddenly dropped, a pallid hand reached over and patted it.
“Find .” The woman’s raspy voice abruptly rose up from behind him.
She had been standing behind Zhou Wenfei all along.
The pat frightened Zhou Wenfei so much he almost cried out, his body shuddering violently, almost sliding off the chair onto the floor.
After that pat, heavy, slow footsteps sounded from behind him, but they stopped after just four steps and no further sounds were heard.
Clearly, the woman may have hidden herself away.
At that mont, Zhou Wenfei felt as if he had nearly lost half his life.
In past experiences of nightmares, either he would be sleeping in bed and suddenly hear a woman talking, telling him to get out of bed and find her, or just like now, sitting in a chair, hearing a woman in the room calling him to co in, her voice chanical, detached.
Or perhaps in the dream, the woman who appeared wouldn’t speak at all, rely emitting a “hee-hee-hee” laugh from sowhere in the room, a dry, hoarse, chilling laugh, enticing him to co to her.
But today, after the woman appeared behind him, it was the first ti she had directly touched him.
And never in any of the nightmares did Zhou Wenfei truly heed the woman’s call to find her.
With his courage, he dared not seek her out but chose to stay put until the woman’s laughter faded away.
Or let the woman hide as long as he didn’t go looking for her.
After a few minutes, he would regain consciousness and leave the fearful nightmare behind.
This ti, of course, he would not go looking for the woman in hiding.
He waited for a few minutes with no response. It still felt cool behind his back, but it always felt like a pair of eyes were watching him, except this ti he didn’t wake up as he had before.
After so thought, Zhou Wenfei steeled himself and pinched his thigh forcefully to awaken himself.
Pain spread through his leg, but Zhou Wenfei found it eerie that he didn’t return to his bed; instead, his consciousness beca even sharper!
“Could it be, I’m not dreaming?!” he suddenly realized with shock.
