Because the man merely reached out, Ruan Qing had no chance to react.
Moreover, the man’s hand was so close that even if he tried to strike, it was highly likely to be blocked.
At that point, he would have no choice but to resort to using an item.
Ruan Qing could only endure it, pretending that he hadn’t really woken up.
But as the man became more and more excessive, Ruan Qing would feign discomfort and move slightly, as if about to wake up.
Whenever this happened, the man would stop his actions, afraid that Ruan Qing might actually wake up.
Who could this person be?
Could he be from the Yang family?
Ruan Qing mentally went through the Yang family members known to the original owner.
The Yang family was quite large, but Yang Chenfeng’s immediate family consisted of only five members.
Above, Yang Chenfeng had a grandfather and a father, and below, there were two younger brothers.
The original owner wasn’t familiar with these people.
He had only seen them from a distance and remembered the disdainful looks they gave him.
It was as if they hadn’t seen him at all.
Moreover, the original owner had arrived at the Yang family just yesterday and hadn’t met anyone from the Yang family.
In other words, the original owner had almost no memories of the Yang family.
So, Ruan Qing found it challenging to guess who the person in front of him was.
And he didn’t dare to open his eyes directly; otherwise, if he angered the man, it would be troublesome.
The man, looking at the frowning and slightly trembling young man, had to withdraw his fingers.
After all, the person on the bed had changed his breathing a bit, and if he didn’t withdraw, the young man would surely wake up.
The man’s gaze was deep; he looked at his slightly moist fingers and gently pinched them with his thumb.
The warm, moist touch seemed to linger between his fingers.
The man’s Adam’s apple moved unconsciously up and down, then his gaze shifted to the thin lips of the young man.
Because of his recent actions, the young man’s lips showed a lovely pink, as if adorned with the finest rouge, a radiant gloss that made it even more captivating.
The man leaned slightly, getting closer to the person on the bed.
It seemed as if he wanted to see more clearly, or perhaps to lower his head for a kiss.
Ruan Qing sensed the man’s approach and, oddly, felt a bit relieved.
As soon as the man approached him, he was confident in directly stabbing the other’s heart. Even if it didn’t instantly kill, it would certainly disrupt the opponent’s will.
By then, using the item would undoubtedly become much easier.
The man got closer and closer, just as he was about to bend down.
“Crack!!!” The sudden sound of shattered glass echoed in the downstairs hall.
It seemed like someone had broken some glassware, perhaps a vase or something similar.
Due to the man not closing the door when he entered, the sound was exceptionally loud and piercing.
It shattered the early morning silence.
The man paused upon hearing the noise, glancing coldly at the door. The next second, his figure disappeared from the bedside.
Ruan Qing’s long eyelashes trembled slightly, as if awakened by the noise.
After moving his body slightly, Ruan Qing slowly opened his eyes.
Probably because he had just opened his eyes, there seemed to be a fleeting light dancing within his gaze.
After opening his eyes, Ruan Qing discreetly scanned the room with his peripheral vision, realizing there seemed to be no one else besides him.
Although he didn’t see anyone, Ruan Qing was well aware that the person who had been sitting by his bedside had silently hidden away at the sound of the glass breaking.
Incredibly fast.
There wasn’t even a sound.
Ruan Qing couldn’t determine where that person had hidden.
He wasn’t even sure if the person was still in the room.
Now, there were two bad pieces of news.
The first bad news was that someone had set their sights on him.
The second bad news was that the one eyeing him was very likely not human.
At least definitely not an ordinary human, more akin to those humans who had consumed the flesh of the gu-worm in the <Xishan Residential Area> instance.
Fortunately, he hadn’t attacked directly just now. Otherwise, he might not have harmed the other at all, and he might have even exposed himself as not being Yu Qing.
It’s worth noting that although Yu Qing was somewhat arrogant and sharp-tongued, fundamentally, he was pure and kind.
He hadn’t experienced much turbulence in life.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, it’s impossible to resort to killing with scissors for no apparent reason.
As for why he judged the other party not to be human, Ruan Qing actually opened his eyes slightly at the first sound of breaking glass.
Yet, he didn’t see anything.
Obviously, in less than a second, the person had already left or hidden.
This was a speed unattainable by humans.
Unless that person was hiding under the bed.
After all, his bed was far from anywhere, and hiding would take at least one or two seconds.
He could only not see if the person hid under the bed.
Most importantly, if this was just a simple murder instance, did the Yong’an Guild need to go through such elaborate schemes to deceive new players into joining?
Even if the last boss of the instance, Wang Qing, possessed special abilities, it probably wouldn’t be to this extent.
There was definitely something strange about this instance.
Did the Yong’an Guild want something from this instance?
Items? Or ability?
Ruan Qing concealed the look in his eyes, appearing as if he had just awakened, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
But the next second, his gaze dimmed, his eyelashes trembling lightly, and he felt a sense of gloominess and discomfort.
As if still grieving for the death of his husband.
The original owner still loved Yang Chenfeng; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been with him despite knowing that Yang Chenfeng hadn’t annulled his engagement yet.
Although Yang Chenfeng emphasized countless times that he and Shen Baiyue were not close, and their relationship was merely a business alliance, the original owner had always felt some pain and guilt about this fact.
Feeling sorry for Shen Baiyue.
Even if it was a business alliance, the engagement should have been annulled before they got together.
In fact, his parents taught the original owner well; being with Yang Chenfeng was just an accident.
Initially, the original owner had been refusing Yang Chenfeng and insisted on the annulment of the engagement before considering being together.
But one time, both the original owner and Yang Chenfeng got drunk, and what should have happened, and what shouldn’t have happened, all happened.
The relationship between the two was no longer pure.
Afterward, Yang Chenfeng knelt and begged for the original owner’s forgiveness, claiming he was just drunk and apologizing profusely.
The original owner had no choice at this point, as the mistake had already been made.
He had always wanted to express his apologies to Shen Baiyue, but he never had the chance.
After all, the Shen family, though not as prominent as the Yang family, was not easily accessible.
The original owner had tried to wait outside the Shen Corporation several times but couldn’t meet Shen Baiyue.
Undeterred, the original owner attended Yang Chenfeng’s funeral, ready to bid him farewell.
