After ONS: Trapped by the Cunning Professor-Chapter 96 - 097: I’m Afraid (1)

Rong Zhi’s unexpected kiss left Lou Xi feeling a bit bewildered. After leaving the hospital, she went straight home, completely forgetting to check on Qin Mobai.

Once home, she took a shower and lay in bed, hoping that a good night’s sleep would make everything disappear.

Tomorrow would be a brand new start.

But she couldn’t fall asleep at all; the faces of Rong Zhi and Qin Mobai alternated in her mind, no matter how hard she tried to shake them away.

She felt so annoying like this. She was clearly already with Qin Mobai earlier, so why was she still thinking about Rong Zhi?

Qin Mobai was different from Zhou Zichen. When Lou Xi was with Qin Mobai, she truly felt her heart flutter. When he asked her to stay by his side, she already envisioned spending her lifetime with him.

This was something she had never imagined before, yet it was happening right between her and Qin Mobai.

So...

Does she actually like Qin Mobai instead of Rong Zhi?

Realizing this, Lou Xi suddenly felt an urge to call Qin Mobai and tell him her most genuine inner thoughts.

Just as she picked up her phone, she suddenly heard a knocking at the door.

Could it be Qin Mobai?

Apart from Bai Lu, only Qin Mobai knew she lived here. Bai Lu definitely wouldn’t come to find her at this hour, so it must be Qin Mobai!

She quickly jumped out of bed and ran to the door, habitually looking through the peephole.

Outside, only the lights were on, but she saw no one.

But just now, she definitely heard knocking!

Was it a mistake?

Lou Xi furrowed her brow and turned back into the room, dialing Qin Mobai’s number as she walked.

The call went through, but no one answered.

"Knock knock knock—" This time, Lou Xi really heard someone knocking. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Who is it?" Lou Xi turned, looking at the door, and asked.

For some reason, a bad premonition arose in her heart.

She was a girl living alone in an apartment, and now it was ten o’clock at night; someone outside was knocking on the door.

Thinking about those girls who lived alone and were targeted by criminals, as she’d seen on Weibo...

Moreover, there was no response from outside, only the sound of someone pressing buttons as if trying a password!

Her apartment had a password lock!

She was instantly frightened, immediately ran to the door, and locked it!

At that moment, Lou Xi felt her legs weaken, helplessly sliding down the door to the floor.

What should she do now?

Call Young Master Qin!

Lou Xi’s hands trembled as she dialed Qin Mobai’s number; it connected, but no one answered.

The sound of someone pressing the password was gone, but she heard the sound of metal clashing—was the apartment door about to be pried open?

Lou Xi shouted, "You bastard outside, you better leave! I’ve called the police, if you don’t go, they’ll come and arrest you!"

Lou Xi sent Qin Mobai a message and immediately called the police.

"Officer, I’m alone in my apartment, someone is trying to break in. I’m so scared..." Being a girl, facing such a situation made her legs weak with fear.

"Miss, don’t be afraid. Please tell us your address, we’ll immediately send officers over!"

Lou Xi quickly reported her address, "Officer, please don’t hang up, I’m scared... The noise outside is still there..."

She clutched her phone tightly, tears streaming down her face in fear.

"I won’t hang up. Is your apartment door opening inward or outward? If it’s inward, push the table against it. Our officers are on their way."
