"Mom, I'm scared!" came the voice of Xinxin from under the bed.
"Mom," said the Xinxin outside the room at the same time, "I got scared alone in bed, and ran out here!"
She turned back to look towards the bedroom door, then twisted her head to look at the dark space under the bed.
Just then, Gao Ruolan's pupils suddenly constricted as she saw an unnaturally colored little hand stretch out from under the bed, followed by the hand trembling uncontrollably.
Gao Ruolan was so frightened that she gasped for air, hesitated for a moment, then ran to the bedroom door, twisted the doorknob, and found the latch was still locked.
"No, the door is locked! Xinxin couldn't have gone out!"
At this scene, she gave up on the idea of opening the door and instead took two steps back, moving away from the bedroom door.
Since the door was still latched, Xinxin must still be in the room, Gao Ruolan once again turned back to look in the direction of the bed.
