Fu Nuan didn't have the time to analyze the complicated expression on the others' faces as he hastily squeezed out a "Thank you Prof. Rong". He took two steps back, then turned around and left in a hurry.

She carried the notebook back to her office and sat at her desk, gasping for air. She felt dizzy and uncomfortable.

Most of the surrounding teachers had gone to attend their classes, and the atmosphere gradually quietened down. Fu Nuan held his head up and unknowingly fell asleep on the table.

It wasn't until nightfall that she was awakened by a cold breeze. She subconsciously shuddered and opened her eyes to look around the empty office. It seemed that she had gotten off work. Her sleep was really heavy.

After cleaning up, he dragged his tired feet and left.

On the way to the parking lot, they would pass through a more hidden grove. There were also a few benches on the outside, but they were all covered by the darkness of the sky.

Fu Nuan rubbed the center of his brows as he walked towards the car park with weak steps. However, he inadvertently glanced at the small forest beside him. Under the faint moonlight, he seemed to see a figure with its back facing her, disappearing into the shadows of the trees.

At first, she did not pay much attention to it. However, there was a slight sound coming from the forest — —

If you listened carefully, it sounded like the meowing of a cat.

Fu Nuan's footsteps paused, he then changed his direction and walked past the bench, and slowly headed deeper into the forest.

"Meow, meow …" "Meow …"

The cat's cry became clearer and clearer, but against the light, it could not be seen clearly.

At the same time, Fu Nuan felt more and more pain in her head, and even her vision had turned blurry. But not far from her, there was a flash of light and the sound of the little cat's breathing, making her unable to believe what was happening in front of her.

A figure with his back facing her grabbed the kitten in one hand and a sharp knife in the other, ruthlessly slicing open the cat's abdomen!

Panic-stricken, Fu Nuan's entire body shivered, his mind immediately cleared up. He subconsciously covered his mouth and ran.

In the darkness, there was no longer the sound of cats. All that was left was the "Da Da" sound of high heels stepping on the ground …

It was as if he was stepping on his own heart.

Panting, Fu Nuan kept turning his head to see if anyone was chasing after him. It was as if he could still smell the faint scent of blood in the air.

In her panic, she rammed into a wall of people. The moment her forehead touched the wall, it felt hard and a bit hot. She screamed out instinctively, thinking that the person had caught up to her.

Her flustered steps looked like they were about to trip over her, but there was a pair of hands on her back, holding her steady.

Fu Nuan saw the man in front of her, and that familiar face gave her a sense of security she had never felt before.

Even though she didn't realize it herself.

"What's wrong?"

Rong Yu saw Fu Nuan running towards her from a distance, flustered, as if there was a ferocious beast chasing after her.

His brows tightly knitted together into a frown, and a look of deep understanding appeared in his eyes. He even deeply embedded Fu Nuan's little face, which was still in a state of shock, into his eyes.

"I …"

When he opened his mouth, Fu Nuan realized that his throat was parched and sore, to the point that he couldn't make a sound. He could only stare at him, only to see Rong Yu extend his hand and place his palm on her forehead, which was drenched in sweat.

His deep voice resounded in his ears: "You have a fever."

At that moment, Fu Nuan's head was buzzing loudly. Before he could even react, he was already carried away by the man and stuffed into the carriage behind him.

After Rong Yu got on the car, he glanced at the woman beside him out of the corner of his eyes, but did not say much as he drove her to the hospital.

His thin lips pressed into a thin line, and when he thought of her pale face at the meeting, he knew something was wrong with her.

On the way, he frowned, but didn't let go.

Fu Nuan's heart was no longer as frightened as before. A moment later, she carefully swept a glance over Rong Yu who was driving, and felt that she was rather lucky. Luckily, the person she just bumped into was him, otherwise …

After a long while, she bit her lips and said, "I seem to have seen someone's hand just now …" "He's killing cats with a knife …"

After hesitating and speaking those words that even he could not believe in himself, Fu Nuan tightly gripped the two hands that hung at his sides, as if that moment of emotion had once again surged over him.

Hearing that, a layer of gloom covered Rong Yu's black eyes, and she asked softly, "It seems?"
