"What happened?" I asked him.
His lips landed on mine and bit at them roughly. I felt my lips bleed.
He fell into a deep sleep. Even after he fell asleep, his brows were still tightly knitted together.
When I got to the bathroom, by the light of the lamp, I saw a patch of blood on his clothes, and I knew it wasn't his blood because I hadn't noticed the wound.
I stared at it and decided to put it back.
I went back to my room and lay quietly beside him, but as soon as I lay down, a hand came from behind and held me.
I was shocked, but immediately realised that it was only Cheng Ruojun's subconscious.
When I woke up the next day, Cheng Ruojun was already gone, and I noticed that the clothes I threw back in place last night were also gone.
I looked for it, but I couldn't find it.
Probably was taken by the Sister Guo. I called out the Sister Guo's name as I thought about it.
"Sister Guo!"
The Sister Guo immediately came over from the next room and looked at me. Her eyes now no longer had the contempt I had previously shown her.
"Where are Cheng Ruojun's clothes?" I asked her, "Did you take it to wash? I want to see it. "
"I didn't see it." The Sister Guo said, "I don't see any clothes."
I stared straight into Sister Guo's eyes, she didn't dodge my gaze, I believe she was speaking the truth, there was no need for her to lie to me about this, unless Cheng Ruojun was the one who was deceived by her.
"I know." I nodded for her to go out.
I know what happened last night was real.
I thought of the blood that had not dried yet, and he grew more and more out of place.
I was trapped here like I was in a prison where no one could ask for help. Perhaps this world was my prison.
I wanted to talk to someone about it, but who could I talk to about it?
My parents? They would only make me endure and tell me that it was my fate and that I was lucky enough.
My brother? He only eats and drinks and leaves me a mess.
I have no friends, the only person I can call a friend. I don't know where he went.
I should go to the roasting room to take a look, but Cheng Ruojun had clearly warned me last time that he didn't want me to go there again.
I want to go. I sat on the couch and clasped my hands.
I touched the collar hanging around my neck. Cheng Ruojun said that no matter where I went, he would always know …
Am I going to disobey him?
I closed my eyes, and everything flashed through my mind.
I want to see him, this desire is very strong, I want to know if he can do the things that Ye Hanqiu did, or just sit by his side and let me be a person, I am a pet at Cheng Ruojun's side and at my family's side is the ATM.
I want to go. I said to myself again.
If he's still not there, I will never go there again and be's pet.
I calmly changed my clothes and drove out of the house. Nothing outside had changed. Actually, when I thought about it carefully, every single one of us was very lonely in this world.
I saw a flash of disappointment as the door to the roasting room was locked.
Wait for him, a voice in his heart said.
I opened the door and went in. I looked through the glass door at the sea not far away, where there were people walking, people waiting for the bus, the world hadn't changed much, it still looked so busy, why didn't I notice that the world was lonely, maybe I was too happy before, or maybe I was too stupid before.
I went up the stairs and sat on the windowsill at dusk. I didn't have the mood to make any more chocolate today, I only wanted to find Xia Ze and ask him clearly. I hope that he can give me a satisfactory answer, or at least tell me that he wasn't in the mood to cook any more for Ye Hanqiu.
I kept praying that he would come back soon. If I returned home tonight, I didn't know what Cheng Ruojun would say about me.
I counted the clocks on the wall, hoping it would slow down, but it was still dark and he still hadn't come back.
I don't know how much time had passed, but even though it was clearly time for me to return, I wasn't willing to leave. In fact, I even fell asleep.
I felt a little cold in my sleep, and could not help but shrink back, and put my feet closer to the inside. In the dim light, I seemed to hear the sound of water dripping.
The sound of the water was soft at first and I could barely hear it, but gradually it grew louder and louder, as if it had fallen into my ears. I woke up.
I got up from the windowsill and was surprised to see that the clock had stopped at six o'clock in the afternoon, but it was dark outside the window and there were no pedestrians. I was sure it wasn't six o'clock, and I guessed it might be past ten.
I hastily got down from the window. I had to hurry back, otherwise Cheng Ruojun would be angry with me again, especially after he warned me.
The whole house was dark. I felt in the dark and put on my shoes to turn off the dripping faucet. In a daze, I remembered that I had turned off the faucet before.
I walked three steps to the attic tap and reached for it. It was dry and there was no water dripping.
Probably the faucet downstairs. I tried to go downstairs, but I don't know why, when I touched the dry faucet, my heart tightened.
I covered my chest with my right hand and tightened the faucet again. Then I went to the door and touched the wall because the light switch was there.
I hadn't been able to touch it for a long time, and at the same time I realized that there was a breeze outside. I heard the wind slapping against the glass, and my heart grew more and more uneasy, and I wanted to find the switch as quickly as possible, but the one that was already there was nowhere to touch it.
Just then, there was a loud smack and the window of the attic opened as if it had been hit by something, and the wind blew the curtains high up into the air and there was a bulge under the curtain, as if someone was hiding inside.
My heart was about to leap out of my chest when I felt the switch and hit it hard.
But...
After a moment of silence, the light did not turn on.
I stumbled out and tumbled down the high steps, too frightened to even feel the pain.
Finally, I landed on the ground. It was still dark downstairs, so I could clearly hear the sound of water drops.
I didn't care about the sound of the water anymore. I just wanted to get out right away.
I ran towards the entrance, but I couldn't reach my usual few steps today. I could hear the sound of wind and thunder outside, and the light of lightning occasionally illuminating the first floor. However, under the lightning, the atmosphere in the hall became even more terrifying.
Finally, I stood in front of the door. My hand was on the doorknob, trying to open it, but the door seemed stuck in glue, and I couldn't pull it open.
Anxious, I kept tugging at the door, but it didn't budge, and just as I was about to give up in despair, it suddenly opened from the outside.
I let go of him and stepped back. I thought I might see something horrible.
But I was wrong. There was nothing horrible in the doorway.
Xia Ze stood at the doorway, only that the current him was very different from before. His entire body was covered with water, and the water flowed down his hair.
His face was pale, his eyes desperate, his lips quivering, as if he wanted to say something to me.
I hesitated for a moment to reach out to him, but he hugged me. My body was as cold as ice, and I buried my head in his shoulder, hoping to give him some comfort, but I woke up the next second.
I looked around me, puzzled by what had just happened. The hands on the clock pointed to six o'clock, and outside it was not dark as it had been, but the setting sun, which had dyed the sky and the sea, and was shockingly beautiful.
