Song Xun looked up: "How long have you been here?"

How come you're still doing the eavesdropping business?

Xie Jin seemed to have read his thoughts at a glance. Coming down from the third floor, Song Xun leaned forward and Xie Jin stared at him: "I was just passing by. I saw you guys were so engrossed in your conversation. I'm sorry to bother you."

The distance was too close, Song Xun took two steps back: "Just talk, why are you getting so close?"

Even when Xie Jin stood up straight, his posture was still lazy, and his words were also careless.

"If you need company so badly, I can reluctantly stay with you. I think you'd be very pitiful being all alone."

"But first, can you please connect an internet cable or something to this place? It's too backward."

He looked out of tune and spoke in a sloppy tone.

Song Xun didn't take it seriously, as he was making fun of himself: "Okay, let's go downstairs."

He walked halfway and saw that Xie Jin was not following him. He turned around and met a pair of sinister eyes.

The casual smile on Xie Jin's lips changed its meaning, and he just stared at him silently.

The smiling face disappeared and he suddenly became eerie and scary.

Song Xun's feet felt as if they were filled with lead and his body was stiff.

The invisible protective force surrounding him seemed to be affected by the emotions of its master, becoming active and intense.

Xie Jin twitched the corners of his mouth, and his whole body exuded a sense of depression.

"I've been wondering why you disappear during the day, and why you insist on me staying with you during this time."

Song Xun's breathing lightened for a moment: "What do you mean?"

"Need I be frank? You just thought I was useful and wanted to use me, but now the situation is reversed."

Xie Jin's eyes showed deep meaning: "Now, I have control over your weakness."

Song Xun clenched his palms, furious.

What does Xie Jin mean by threatening him?

He wanted to refute, but found that there was nothing wrong with what Xie Jin said. As long as Xie Jin was willing, he might be able to log off early.

Thinking about it this way, I got even angrier.

Song Xun said coldly: "So, after saying so much, how do you want to deal with me? You can continue to be straightforward."

In just a few moments, countless choices and possibilities flashed through Xie Jin's mind.

Is he trying to threaten me to let him go, or is he just trying to wipe him out completely?

Song Xun certainly knew how much Xie Jin wanted to leave here, otherwise he would not have killed someone for a chance to escape, setting this precedent.

"Okay, then I'll be frank with you." Xie Jin put his hands in his pockets, "Stay away from Xiao Bin from now on."

"I know you want to--" Song Xun's words were stuck in his stomach, and he almost changed the subject. He suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, "That's all?"

Xie Jin shook his finger: "Besides staying away from him, you are not allowed to talk to him."

"If you obey all these, I will be at your service at any time. How about that? Isn't it a good deal?"

Song Xun was speechless. Looking at Xie Jin was like looking at a rare creature. He found that he could never predict Xie Jin's behavior or thoughts.

Xie Jin passed by him and said, "This is all for now. We can replenish it at any time."

It was truly amazing. Song Xun had a lot of question marks popping out of his head as he walked down the stairs in a daze.

Xiao Binyuan looked back from time to time, and when he saw Song Xun coming down, his face was full of surprise: "If you don't come over, I will want to go up to find you."

Song Xun was about to respond casually when he heard Xie Jin cough. He turned his head and saw Xie Jin staring at him. He patted the seat beside him and said, "Come here."

The signals conveyed in Xie Jin's eyes were a casual reminder of the outrageous "agreement" just now in the stairwell.

Song Xun went over bearing the humiliation, unable to hold back and glaring at him.

Xie Jin didn't care and did not forget to raise his eyebrows at Xiao Binyuan, being as provocative and infuriating as possible.

Xiao Binyuan clenched his teeth and the flesh on his cheek twitched.

The apparent peace between the two was completely broken at this moment, and they looked at each other as if they were enemies.

Feng Gaofei watched the fight for a long time, nudged Le Chen beside him, and whispered, "What does this mean? Turning against each other for love? Doesn't Xiao Binyuan dislike men? One or two of them have to think too much and provoke Guan Qi, the evil spirit."

"Why are not you talking?"

Le Chen stared at his fingers in a daze. He just felt that Xiao Binyuan suddenly became so strange, and he could no longer figure out what the other person was thinking.

After sitting for less than half an hour, Song Xun stood up and was about to leave.

After Xiao Binyuan initially initiated a conversation and received no response, he fell silent. The living room was silent, yet there was a tense feeling as if it was about to burn and explode.

It's so awkward, I can't stay here any longer.

As soon as Song Xun stepped into the room, Xie Jin followed him in.

A man walked around the room, stopped at an empty spot and said with satisfaction: "Have someone bring a bed in, I'll sleep here from now on."

Song Xun glanced at the empty floor: "Don't even think about it."

"Are you going to make me lie on the chair every day?" Xie Jin was dissatisfied. "I am at least helping you now, how can you be so cruel?"

"You sleep on the floor."

The room was not big to begin with, and the only open space was the entrance to the secret room.

What if Xie Jin gets crazy and refuses to cooperate again? Will he be asked to crawl under the bed?

Xie Jin stopped talking, and his whole body exuded a gloomy feeling again.

Looks like he's about to go crazy at any moment.

Song Xun thought that he would definitely talk about his weakness, but the next moment he saw Xie Jin walking out of the door with a sour face.

Not a single word was left.

baffling.

Half a minute later, the door that Song Xun had just closed was roughly pushed open.

Xie Jin came in holding his quilt, threw it on the ground, squatted down and started to make a bed on the floor.

Every movement carries temper.

Song Xun stared at his actions in shock. To be honest, there was no way to figure out Xie Jin, he was like a kaleidoscope.

After messing around with the floor mat, Xie Jin couldn't sit still. He wandered over to the closet and exclaimed, "So you have normal clothes."

The closet contains items that Song Xun doesn’t wear often, and they are mainly for comfort. At the time, Song Xun thought they were not stylish enough, so he piled them all in there.

Song Xun looked down at his neatly-fitting suit and frowned slowly.

What does Xie Jin mean? Why is what he is wearing abnormal?

Xie Jin picked out a casual grey sweatshirt and black slacks and threw them on the bed.

"Change to this one."

Song Xun refused: "Why should I listen to you? I won't change."

Xie Jin crossed his arms and stared at the clothes on him. Although he didn't say anything, Song Xun could tell something from the signals conveyed in his eyes.

——Ugly clothes.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Song Xun really cared about it.

After a moment of stalemate, he picked up his clothes and went into the bathroom angrily.

When he came out again, he was wearing a new set of clothes.

The corners of Xie Jin's eyes were raised, he was extremely satisfied and never looked away.

Song Xun felt uncomfortable being stared at.

He actually looks quite boyish. After taking off the rigid suit, he looks more youthful, energetic, delicate and lively.

Xie Jin approached, lifted up a strand of hair and asked regretfully, "Does it have to be red until twelve o'clock at night?"

Song Xun slapped his hand away.

He is so physical and has no sense of boundaries.

·······

Two o'clock midnight.

Song Xun almost forgot that there was someone lying under his bed and didn't step on him.

He got out of bed quietly from the other side, and just after taking two steps, he heard a sound from behind.

"Where?"

Song Xun turned back in shock and met a pair of eyes that were shining brightly in the darkness.

Didn't you sleep at all?

Well, Xie Jin is not stupid, he is also on guard against himself.

How could she fall asleep in front of him without any defense and seek death?

Song Xun ignored him and didn't need to be careful with his movements. He pushed the door open and walked out.

Xie Jin followed him out and, imitating Song Xun, lay on the railing of the outer corridor, looking down at the dark living room below.

"Why aren't you here enjoying the view so late at night?"

What kind of a sight is this? Song Xun didn’t even bother to pay attention to him and just waited quietly.

Five minutes later, a figure appeared below.

It’s Xiao Binyuan.

He went straight to the fireplace and took down the tea service which was on display.

Song Xun witnessed the entire process until the sound of a door closing was heard on the second floor.

Xie Jin turned around and leaned against the railing: "You still have some tricks. I thought you would get dizzy and hot once you were fooled."

Song Xun lowered his eyes.

He wasn't sure about Xiao Binyuan, so he might as well give it a try.

To be honest, Song Xun would not be stupid enough to believe everything Xiao Binyuan said in the stairwell today.

He wanted to know more about Xiao Binyuan's purpose and motive.

Xie Jin nudged Song Xun with his elbow, with an uneasy smile on his face: "What do you think he will choose tomorrow? Will he take the initiative to stand up and admit it? Doesn't he want to stay here forever?"

"Tomorrow will be exciting."

"Hey, why don't you speak?"

Song Xun glanced at him and said, "You can talk nonsense here if nothing happens to you."

Xie Jin: "You didn't even give me a chance."

Song Xun thought there was no difference. If Xie Jin was really chosen as the thief, he would also try his best to cover it up and leave here.

"Go back and sleep."

Early the next day.

Song Xun was sleeping soundly when he was woken up by Xie Jin.

"What are you doing? Stop making noise."

"Keep a regular schedule. How can you sleep so much every day? Go downstairs and have breakfast."

Song Xun doesn't know him yet, and he might want to go downstairs to watch the fun.

Song Xun was not in a good mood after being dug up early in the morning.

The atmosphere today is more depressing than two days ago. Someone informed us this morning that the tea set had been stolen.

This is the fourth time, and they cannot find the thief. The outcome that awaits them is unknown and dangerous.

Song Xun glanced in the direction of Xiao Binyuan.

Xiao Binyuan seemed much quieter today. In the past, he would take the initiative to talk to Song Xun when he saw him, but today, he didn't say a word the whole time he sat down, and didn't even notice Song Xun coming downstairs.

Xie Jin was much more blatant, his eyes seemed to be fixed on Xiao Binyuan.

Xiao Binyuan was stared at by his scrutinizing gaze, and his expression froze for a moment, but he quickly adjusted himself and looked back with a normal expression.

Xie Jin smiled playfully.

Xiao Binyuan withdrew his gaze, and when he raised it again he met Song Xun's gaze.

The moment their eyes met, Xiao Binyuan instinctively avoided him, looking downwards.

Song Xun also had an idea in his mind.

At seven o'clock in the evening, it was time to select the thief as usual.

However, they were obviously clueless and in a depressed state.

Feng Gaofei covered his head with one hand: "Can you please come out and admit it yourself? My head is about to explode."

Sun Qing stared at Yang Yingxue. She was suspicious of Yang Yingxue all the time and was determined to find something to hold against her.

Le Chen and Xiao Binyuan sat together.

"You're not feeling well today." Le Chen said softly.

They have been neighbors since childhood and have been together for such a long time that they are very familiar with each other.

Xiao Binyuan: "It's just that I didn't sleep well last night and I can't concentrate. What's wrong with that?"

Le Chen: "So why didn't you sleep well at night? What did you do?"

"If you doubt me so much, you can report me now."

Le Chen: "You know very well that I won't..."

Time passed minute by minute, and slowly came to eleven o'clock.

Song Xun clapped his hands: "It's time for you to give an answer."

No one spoke up.

"If you don't speak, I'll think you're giving up this opportunity."

Feng Gaofei sat up straight: "Don't worry, why are you in such a hurry?"

Compared to the first two days, they were less afraid of Guan Qi than they were at first, and sometimes they even dared to make a small request or crack a joke.

Song Xun: "I'll give you another ten minutes."

"It's Xiao Binyuan, the thief from last night."

Everyone looked towards the corner at the same time.

Yang Yingxue shrank her neck. No one expected that she would be the first person to make an identification.

Sun Qing choked: "You want to do the same as last time, thinking that we will be fooled again. Who are you? Why should I listen to you?"

She yelled at Song Xun: "I've made up my mind. I want to identify Yang Yingxue."

Feng Gaofei frowned and looked back and forth at Xiao Binyuan and Yang Yingxue, asking, "Why did you decide on Brother Yuan?"

Yang Yingxue glanced at Xiao Binyuan carefully: "In the past, Brother Yuan would take the initiative to call us together for a discussion at times like this, but he didn't do that today."

Sun Qing sneered: "Just because of this, you are too funny."

Feng Gaofei seemed to be thinking about something and didn't speak for a long time.

"Stop guessing." Le Chen suddenly spoke up, looking depressed: "Xiao Binyuan and I had a fight today, and he was angry at me and gave me the cold shoulder."

Sun Qing muttered: "You guys have been arguing a lot lately."

The scene was once again in a dilemma.

Xie Jin, who had never participated in such activities, joined in the fun: "Since we have different opinions, let's vote. I vote for Yang Yingxue."

Song Xun glanced at him and felt that Xie Jin was full of dark energy and looked sinister.

Sun Qing raised his hand: "I also choose Yang Yingxue."

Feng Gaofei: "Xiao Binyuan."

"If it weren't for Feng Gaofei, you would have caused so much trouble. You actually believed Yang Yingxue's lies." Sun Qing rolled his eyes.

Le Chen said: "Yang Yingxue."

In the end, only Xiao Binyuan remained silent.

However, the result is already very clear. Xiao Binyuan cannot possibly identify himself, and in the end the person who will be identified the most will be Yang Yingxue.

Le Chen pushed Xiao Binyuan and said, "Don't mess with me at this time. What are you doing? Speak."

Song Xun sensed something and looked up to notice that Xiao Binyuan was looking at him with a complex expression in his eyes.

Song Xun looked straight ahead.

Xiao Binyuan's voice was hoarse, and he avoided looking at her: "I choose Yang Yingxue."

Xie Jin was very active today and was the first to stand up again: "Xiao Binyuan has two votes, Yang Yingxue has four votes, we have already chosen, the thief last night was Yang Yingxue."

Yang Yingxue, hiding in the corner, was angry but dared not say anything.

The final result is completely determined.

Song Xun nodded. He was not too surprised by the result. Instead, he felt relieved and happy.

He said seriously: "Unfortunately, you made the wrong choice."

Feng Gaofei wailed.

"I haven't finished talking yet." Song Xun said slowly, "You have made too many mistakes and still haven't been able to find the thief for me. Your efficiency is too slow. I am very impatient now."

"So... I decided to play a little game to liven up the atmosphere."
