After entering the room, Bing'er lit the candle, and then walked to the bed to undress, preparing to go to sleep. However, she kept her eyes on the door, she knew that Lian would knock on her door soon, and if Lian'er was really afraid of entering her room to sleep.
As expected, after Bing-Er took off the group, a petite figure knocked on her door lightly, "Bing-Er, are you inside?"
Bing-Er hesitated for a moment, then walked to the door, "Yes, is there anything I can help you with?" She indifferently asked Lian'er, who was standing at the entrance.
Lian'er stood at the doorway hesitating for a moment, her small hands intertwined as she whispered, "Bing'er, can I sleep here for another night?" Lian'er's voice was mixed with a hint of begging and fear.
"Sure." Bing'er opened the door and let Lian'er in.
After Lian'er heard Bing'er's answer, a happy smile appeared on Danas' face. She gratefully looked at Bing'er who wanted to thank Bing'er, but Bing'er spoke first, "You can stay here, but I want to know why you don't dare to stay in your room."
Bing-Er's question made the smile on Lian'er's face disappear. She looked at Bing-Er with a complicated expression, then turned around and walked out of the room.
"I just wanted to care for you as a good friend. I had no other intentions." Bing'er reached out her hand to pull Lian'er's wrist and explained.
Lian'er turned around and looked at Bing-Er. She threw Bing-Er's search away and walked away.
Bing-Er stood there looking at his back and sighed. Since Lian'er wasn't willing to say it, no matter how hard she asked, Lian'er wouldn't say it out loud.
It was late at night. It was quiet. Bing'er was sleeping on the bed.
"Help! Help! "No, don't look for me!" An ear-piercing scream pierced the night sky, making the originally silent and sinister night sky seem even more strange.
Bing-Er, who was sleeping, was awakened by the ear-piercing scream. She opened her eyes and looked at the night sky outside the window. She held her breath and listened carefully. The scream was gone. Bing-Er breathed a sigh of relief. She closed her eyes and went to sleep again.
Ah!" Help! " Another scream pierced the night sky.
Bing-Er immediately sat up from the bed, jumped off the bed and ran to Lian'er's room. She could clearly hear the screams coming from Lian'er's room next door.
When Bing'er came to the door of Lian's room, she found that Lian's room was lit up by candles. Bing'er took a step forward and patted on the door. "Lian, open the door. Lian, open the door." Lian'er's voice was so loud and so terrifying that it was likely due to her extreme fear.
However, no matter how much Bing-Er shouted, Lian'er refused to open the door.
"Lian'er, Lian'er, open the door to your room. Lian'er? Lian'er? " Bing-Er slapped on the door hard, but Lian'er could not open it.
Bing-Er stood by the door and sighed, "Lian'er, I'm sorry. I won't ask you why you are afraid to sleep alone in your room anymore. You can stay with me." "Or you open the door and we sleep together in your room. What do you think?" At this moment, Bing'er was a bit regretful. Before she went to bed, she shouldn't have threatened Lian'er to tell her secret.
However, Lian'er still refused to open the door. Bing-Er looked at the door guiltily, then turned around and went back to her room.
A few steps after Bing-Er left, Lian's door was opened from the inside.
Bing-Er suddenly stopped. She turned around and looked at Lian who was walking out of the room with guilt, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that." Lian'er's face was currently pale. Although she looked calm, the cold sweat on her forehead betrayed her. Bing'er could immediately tell that Lian'er was pretending to be calm.
"I don't blame you. Everyone living next door is very curious about why I have nightmares every night and why I don't dare to sleep alone in my room." Lian'er cut off Bing'er's words.
Bing'er walked up to Lian'er and held her cold little hand. "Come, let's go to my room. I won't ask you again why you're scared."
However, Lian'er pulled her hand away from Bing'er. "I will tell you why I'm scared."
"No, I don't want to hear it now." Bing-Er quickly stopped Lian'er. She knew that this was Lian's scar, and she didn't want to open it.
"Even if I don't say it, you will hear it from someone else in the future. It's better to hear it from me." Lian'er smiled and said to Bing'er.
"Lian'er." Bing-Er could see the bitterness in Lian's smile.
The man looked at the moon in the sky and sighed, "Actually, I was the young maid by the mistress's side. On the day of my husband's birthday, I made a mistake and threw the jewellery the palace had given her on the ground, breaking it. This was originally a capital offense, and the mistress wanted to punish me severely, but Xiu-Er, her personal maid, knelt on the ground and begged her to let me go." Madam has been very good to her personal maid, Xiu-Er. When I saw Xiu-Er pleading for me, she only punished me by going into the small courtyard to wash my clothes. I am very grateful to the Lady and to Xiu-Er. So I went to the yard to wash my clothes. When I went back to my room, I found Xiu-Er hanging in my room! "
Bing-Er was shocked. She didn't think that Lian Er was the maid who found Xiu-Er's body!
"Xiu-Er died miserably. Although the President of the Board of Justice caught the murderer on the spot, I can't stop thinking about how Xiu-Er was hung on the beam. She had her head down, her face was blue, and her hands were vertical. "It is all my fault. If I didn't make a mistake, I wouldn't have separated from Xiu-Er. Xiu-Er wouldn't have been killed either." After finishing her sentence, Lian'er's tears slowly fell. She wiped the tears from her eyes. "I dream about Xiu-Er's miserable appearance every day. Whenever I close my eyes, I think about Xiu-Er when she fell on the beam." She turned to Bing-Er with a mocking smile, "Do you know why I am afraid to sleep in my room alone now?"
Bing-Er looked at Lian'er with pain in her heart. Lian'er was the first one to find Xiu-Er's body. She was scared because of her guilt for Xiu-Er. She thought Xiu-Er's death had something to do with her. If it wasn't for her, Xiu-Er might not have been killed.
Seeing Bing-Er standing there in silence, the mocking smile on Lian's face gradually turned into a mocking one. She turned around and walked back to her room, knowing that Bing'er would definitely not stay with her once she found out the truth.
When she came back to her senses, Lian'er had already turned around and walked to her room. Bing'er took a few steps forward without thinking and grabbed Lian'er's arm, "Lian'er, come live with me. It's not your fault that Xiu-Er died. Someone tried to kill her. Xiu-Er was killed.]
Lian'er turned around and looked at Bing'er in surprise. She didn't think that Bing'er would actually be living with her. She had learned from Bing'er that she was afraid of staying in her room by herself.
