Chapter 911: Time to Test Your Acting Skills

Cai Xiaotang met the eyes hidden behind the fox mask and immediately braced herself with twelve times the focus, yet she had to force a relaxed expression, looking completely at ease.

Linke stopped at the doorway, his gaze sweeping over her face without a hint of emotion.

Then, he suddenly spoke, teasing, "Rested well? In a good mood?"

"

"Still... okay, I guess."

Cai Xiaotang replied casually; at first glance, the content of their conversation sounded as if they were friends with a good relationship.

Yet, in this setting, everything about it was eerie.

"Click—"

Linke took a step forward.

The sound of his leather shoes hitting the floor was exceptionally distinct.

With every sound, Cai Xiaotang's nerves jumped along with it.

What on earth is this guy here for...

Is he here to remind her it's time to go to the basement?

Cai Xiaotang thought, her face still maintaining that "calm" appearance.

Then, she felt the bed beside her sink slightly.

Linke had actually sat down directly.

"Want to chat?"

He spat out the two words in a low voice.

"Chat about what?"

Cai Xiaotang asked back, not daring to say too much.

Immediately after, she heard the person in front of her suddenly chuckle.

"Since you're already my person, naturally we can chat about anything; for instance... let's chat about how to deal with that heartless man for you, and what kind of death would make him suffer more."

He crossed his legs and looked at Cai Xiaotang with the corners of his lips curled up.

Yet the words he spoke were chilling.

Cai Xiaotang couldn't help but tremble; just hearing him say that, some terrifying images couldn't help but flash rapidly through her mind.

She abruptly shifted her gaze, not daring to look directly into the eyes of the person in front of her anymore.

She kept comforting herself in her mind.

It won't happen...

Li Xiao is so capable, he definitely won't be in any trouble!

He will definitely find her in the shortest amount of time, and then beat this fox-man up hard!

And then throw him into the sea to feed the fish!

Cai Xiaotang recited in her heart, desperately trying to suppress the chill throughout her body.

"Why aren't you talking? You really... still can't bear to let him go?"

A coldness suddenly pressed in.

Cai Xiaotang snapped back to reality, only then realizing with a start that the other party had leaned in at some point!

"No."

She hurriedly denied it, subconsciously wanting to dodge, but forced herself to show no reaction to the distance, explaining intermittently: "I just... don't really like bloody scenes."

"Is that so?"

Linke's gaze swept over the corners of Cai Xiaotang's lips, a hint of interest flashing in the depths of his eyes.

Have to say...

Although Li Xiao is annoying, his taste in women is indeed not bad.

This Cai Xiaotang, she doesn't look bad, and she has a bit of brains; when she acts, that look of clearly being afraid but still forcing herself to stay calm is really exceptionally... pleasing.

Just like prey that has already been locked in a cage, yet still struggles desperately, trying to find a way to survive.

Little does she know, her life and death depend entirely on the hunter's mood.

Just don't know... how well she can keep up the act?

Linke's expression darkened abruptly, his palm suddenly gripping Cai Xiaotang's shoulder and sliding down suggestively.

Cai Xiaotang's whole body immediately became even stiffer, her eyes widening slightly.

Damn it!

What does that mean?

Is he going to stop acting like a human just because it's dark!

He wouldn't be thinking of...

Cold sweat broke out on Cai Xiaotang's back; just as she intended to speak, she heard the person in front of her say eerily: "Since you're by my side, you'll have to get used to bloody scenes sooner or later; how about... we start getting used to it with Li Xiao..."

As he spoke, he deliberately tugged lightly at the clothes on Cai Xiaotang's shoulder.

Her coat had long since been lost somewhere.

At this moment, she was only wearing a form-fitting knit sweater; with a light tug, it perfectly revealed a bit of her snow-white shoulder.

Linke continued to curl his lips in satisfaction, saying playfully: "But this matter isn't urgent for now; I do have time tonight to let you get familiar with me..."

…"

A buzzing sound rang in Cai Xiaotang's ears, and all the hair on her body stood up!

Familiar with you, my foot!

She has absolutely no interest in that kind of thing, okay!

How could this person be so unpicky!

Or does he think that having something happen with her would be a better way to provoke Li Xiao?

In Cai Xiaotang's mind, it felt as if ten thousand horses were galloping past, and every nerve they trampled on ached with a dull pain.

The next second—the other person's aura pressed in close again!

Those well-shaped thin lips were also within arm's reach.

Cai Xiaotang pressed her lips together tightly, so nervous that her whole body began to go numb.

In all fairness.

Just looking at this person's eyes, jawline, and the shape of his lips, she could be certain that the face under the mask was definitely not ugly!

But although she was usually a fan of handsome faces, she hadn't reached the point of losing all sense of right and wrong!

Regardless of whether he was a handsome man or an ugly one!

She absolutely could not let herself be taken advantage of!

But... if she pushed him away...

Would he take her life in a fit of rage?

Or...

Cai Xiaotang moved her fingers; the memory of the "hand-chopping" incident was truly too deep.

While she was thinking—her chin was suddenly hooked.

She was almost trapped between the man's arms and the bed frame, forming an ambiguous scene, like prey with nowhere to escape, waiting to be devoured.

The air seemed to take on an unusual scent as well.

Linke leaned in bit by bit.

A smile remained on his face the whole time.

Yet it never reached his eyes.

Not dodging?

This woman wouldn't really be thinking of having something happen with him...

And then, using it as an opportunity to make him let her go?

Tsk... it wasn't impossible.

But that would be too boring.

He had no interest in women Li Xiao had slept with.

A flash of coldness suddenly crossed Linke's eyes.

Just at this moment—"No!!!"

Cai Xiaotang suddenly reached out to press against his shoulders, stopping him from coming any closer.

With her other hand, she hurriedly pulled her clothes back into place.

Linke stopped accordingly, his eyes reigniting with that look of interest.

"No...?"

He repeated the two words in a low voice, his fingertips suddenly tapping lightly on the back of Cai Xiaotang's hand.

"Do you know that no one has ever dared to say these two words to me?

If they did..."

There was no need for further explanation regarding the rest of the sentence.

Cai Xiaotang instantly hid her hands behind her back, the terror in her eyes accidentally spilling out.

She knew!

It was just hand-chopping!

Why did this lunatic like chopping off other people's hands so much!

He really was a pervert!

Cai Xiaotang didn't dare let her thoughts stop for even an instant, rapidly searching her mind for an excuse.

Then, she finally thought of something abruptly.

Got it!

She had thought of a way!

Cai Xiaotang suddenly put on an expression mixed with anger and embarrassment.

"I didn't mean to reject you, it's just... it's just..."

She desperately mobilized all the emotions in her body, trying hard to make her expression look more authentic, while countless TV shows and movies she had watched flashed through her mind; she wished she could be possessed by a best actress at this moment.

To fool this guy, she had to act as realistically as possible!!

Success or failure depended on this one move!!!
