Avoid the Protagonist
chapter-99

After Xin Siyue got back, she rolled back and forth, unable to sleep. When she finally fell asleep, she had a few nightmares.

In the dream, she was unsure where the car was headed to. In the end, she got lost and even the GPS didn’t know where she was.

She passed by the crossroad and continued to drive straight, but an unfamiliar man came up and told her she was driving in the wrong direction. In her heart back then, she was thinking how there were quite a few nice people in the world.

Who knew that she had driven about a few hundred meters after she made an U-turn, and she was surrounded by people. Six or seven sturdy men surrounded her car and the leader was the ‘nice person’ who pointed out the direction for her.

He had a sinister expression and he easily smashed the glass window on her car. He pulled her out and without another word, he started to slash her with the knife.

In the beginning, Xin Siyue was terrified but it transformed into a sense of hopelessness. When she laid in her pool of blood, these people were laughing and saying, “she can’t endure the cuts. It’s not satisfying enough.”

The surrounding puddle of blood was fresh red and she was startled, her face full of sweat when she woke up. She hurriedly opened the lamp by the bedside and looked around. After she saw that she was in her bedroom and there weren’t any crazy and inhuman people, she couldn’t help but to breath heavily.

It took her a long time to calm down and become peaceful. She went to the living room to pour a glass of water but didn’t dare to return to the bedroom. She sat there with the lights on and she wasn’t in the mood to listen to what the TV was broadcasting. She stared at a certain spot lifelessly.

Why would she suddenly have such a horrific nightmare?

Xin Siyue could only comfort herself, saying that she was probably under a lot of pressure recently.

She wanted to start a new program and her boss said yes. But, she was in charge from writing and directing it to hosting the program. If she got good feedback, it was naturally good. But if the feedback were normal, the program will be immediately stopped.

Due to this, Xin Siyue had wasted a lot of braincells on this. But no matter how she planned it out, she wasn’t pleased. This program had therefore, made no progress.

Xin Siyue was deep in her thoughts when the doorbell rang time after time.

She subconsciously shivered and her eyes were filled with terror and fright. Her heart thumped rapidly at the ear-piercing noise.

She tried her best to let herself calm down. At this time, her phone rang coincidentally too. It was Chen Sinan.

Xin Siyue considered whether or not she should answer the call.

Before she made a decision, the doorbell stopped ringing.

The ringing of the phone stopped too.

Xin Siyue watched as the screen of her phone dimmed down. Right after, Chen Sinan changed to sending a text to her. “It’s me, open the door.”

“Are you ok?”

“Xin Siyue, what happened to you?”

Xin Siyue was surprised. He actually didn’t leave yet still?

When Chen Sinan saw that she wasn’t answering the messages, he continued to call her.

The moment the door opened, Chen Sinan slowly placed the hand used to hold his phone down.

“Are you ok?”

“I’m fine. Mr. Chen, why are you here in the middle of the night?”

Chen Sinan looked at her pale face and asked, “Why aren’t you asleep at such a late time?”

“Thank you for your concern.”

Chen Sinan pondered deeply and asked, “You got a nightmare?”

“What?”

“Last time in the hospital, you had a nightmare the whole night.” Chen Sinan suddenly walked up and held her in his arms. He said softly and comforted, “Don’t worry. I’m here.”

Xin Siyue blinked her eyes and felt her eyes turning bitter and sour. Chen Sinan, you’re breaking the rules!
