"Shh!" Qing Chen whispered to Li Tongyun.
The little girl looked up in terror at the living room ceiling, her body shrinking into the couch bit by bit.
Despite her precocity, she rarely encountered such situations.
Last time, the shadows of two intruders who had broken into their home hadn't fully dispersed, and now there were intruders again.
Li Tongyun instinctively wanted to turn off the TV with the remote control nearby, but Qing Chen stopped her.
The autumn sky darkened quickly, and they had turned on the lights early.
The intruders must have noticed this, which is why pretending no one was home could lead to trouble.
Qing Chen patted the little girl's hand and silently mouthed, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Li Tongyun wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and nodded.
Everything in the house seemed to continue normally, with no changes.
Qing Chen turned and went to the kitchen, signaling Jiang Xue to continue cooking.
