Because it was around four or five in the morning, the day was just beginning to break, and besides the chirping of birds outside the window, there was no other sound.
The bird calls had also stopped at some point, as if startled.
It seemed like the whole world became extremely quiet when the footsteps started.
Instead, the footsteps became particularly pronounced, accompanied by the faint rustle of clothing friction.
As the footsteps approached, an eerie feeling crept up from the depths of one’s heart, as if some danger was silently approaching.
Ruan Qing’s face showed no change when he heard the door opening.
Even though he heard the approaching footsteps, he didn’t display any signs of surprise. It was as if he were still in a peaceful dream.
His heartbeat and breathing were controlled, steady.
The intruder slowed their footsteps, and with clear intent, the footsteps continued straight to Ruan Qing’s bedside.
Then the footsteps vanished, and the sound of clothing friction disappeared.
The world fell into complete silence.
Was it time to take action?
Ruan Qing tightly gripped the scissors hidden under the blanket.
The scissors were not large, just a petite pair. If he didn’t hit a vital spot in one strike, he could easily be countered.
Although he could use the ‘Illusionary Soul Bell’ to enter the opponent’s body, Ruan Qing didn’t want to waste the opportunity without understanding who the best target would be. After all, if the opponent had a strong will, it might end in failure.
So, it was better to wait for the right moment and strike decisively.
Stay calm.
Not close enough yet.
However, one minute passed.
Two minutes passed.
Five minutes passed.
Ruan Qing: “?”
Even though five minutes had passed, there was still no movement in front of the bed.
As if everything just now was a hallucination.
No, it definitely existed.
There must be someone by his bedside.
Ruan Qing trusted his hearing and judgment. He didn’t rashly open his eyes to confirm; instead, he continued to feign being asleep as if he hadn’t woken up yet.
Time ticked away, minute by minute.
Ruan Qing remained vigilant, calmly holding the scissors, waiting for the other person’s actions and the best opportunity.
However, after waiting for a long time, there was still no sign of any movement.
The room was quiet, as if there was no one there.
Ruan Qing’s hand holding the scissors was starting to feel sore.
Should he give up on taking action?
Or perhaps the person who came wasn’t here to kill him?
In reality, there was indeed someone in the room. If Ruan Qing opened his eyes, he would see a man standing by his bedside.
The man had a handsome face, deep and intense eyes, but his gaze was like that of a dangerous wolf, carrying a sense of danger.
He stared fixedly at the person sleeping on the bed.
The young man on the bed was in deep sleep, with a quiet and well-behaved sleeping posture, showing no signs of alertness.
Completely unaware of the danger he was in.
Even if someone were to harm him, he probably wouldn’t know how he died.
It was naïve. Not just the foolishness of attending the funeral, but also the insistence on investigating Yang Chenfeng’s cause of death.
The man’s dangerous gaze swept over the delicate features of the person on the bed.
The young man was sleeping on his side, and only his profile was visible.
His eyelashes were long and curled, and at this moment, his eyes were closed, casting a beautiful shadow beneath them.
In addition, the black hair scattered on the white pillow created a strong visual impact of black and white.
Yet, it did not diminish the slightest bit of the young man’s beauty; instead, it added a touch of disheveled and carefree charm.
Stunning to the point of being breathtaking.
Also, strangely beautiful.
The man’s gaze slowly descended, ultimately landing on the young man’s thin lips.
The young man’s lip color was faint, not the rosy red kind, but rather a pale color with a hint of unhealthy pallor.
Moreover, his lip shape was very beautiful, looking exceptionally soft.
Seemingly perfect for kissing.
Although applying a little more pressure might make them swell.
Perhaps it would even bring out a lovely blush.
The man stared for a long time, inexplicably lightening his movements and sitting on the edge of the bed.
The bed was very soft, and with the man sitting down, it sank slightly.
However, the young man on the bed seemed to be sleeping very soundly and was not awakened by this.
After all, the bed was quite large, and the young man was sleeping in the middle. It was normal not to feel the subtle movements at the edge.
The man gently pinched the young man’s fair-as-jade chin, slightly lifting the young man’s head, revealing his entire face.
Beautiful and docile.
Facial features so delicately perfect that they seemed unreal.
Even with his eyes closed, he radiated a beauty that captivated one’s gaze completely.
The man’s gaze paused.
His useless elder brother did have good taste.
Perhaps because his chin was held, the sleeping young man seemed to be uneasy, moving slightly in his dreams.
His long eyelashes trembled like feathers, as if he was about to wake up.
The man subconsciously lightened his grip until the young man fell back into a deep sleep.
Seeing the young man asleep again, the man’s fingers approached the corner of the other’s lips, applying a slight pressure.
The young man’s pale red lips were forced to slightly part, revealing pristine white teeth with a hint of pink inside.
Soft and moist.
Extremely alluring.
It’s as if enticing someone to fiercely kiss and suck on them.
The man, almost involuntarily, slipped his fingers inside, just a little touch, and the warm, moist sensation instantly enveloped him.
He’s clearly just a sacrifice.
Moreover, it’s the lowest-grade sacrifice with little significance. Even if he died before the ritual, no one would care.
He should just crush his throat, break his neck, drain all the blood from his body, and treat him as a somewhat satisfying snack.
Instead of the current situation, where there’s a fear that a bit more force might wake the young man up.
Although the man felt abnormal, he continued to touch the soft parts expressionlessly with his slender fingers.
The entire scene looked as if a young man was lying on the bed, mouth open, actively sucking his fingers.
It was filled with a certain ambiguous meaning, exuding an intense atmosphere.
The man had no hesitation whatsoever, even if the young man on the bed was, in fact, his sister-in-law.
He didn’t think there was anything wrong with treating his sister-in-law this way in his brother’s room after his brother’s death.
