A few minutes later, Zhang Manting put down her phone in disappointment. Everything seemed normal to Xu Xiao. Even when she mentioned that "old man's baby" and that eye shaped birthmark again and again, her tone didn't change at all.
Could it be that the eye-shaped birthmark was really just a shocking coincidence? Xu Xiao just happened to have the same body mark as that murderer?
Zhang Manting thought for a long time, but she could not figure out what was going on. In the end, she could only give up. She slumped back on the couch, switched on the lamp on one side, and spread out her right hand, palm up.
The bright white light scattered down like mercury, illuminating the pure white palm. There were several clear lines on the palm of his hand — Life Lines, Career Lines, Love Lines... Zhang Manting's left index finger slowly caressed the love thread. It was a special kind of love line. Ordinary people's love line was a continuous, curved line, it could be long or short, but Zhang Manting's love line was very special. It was an arc made from dozens of short, discontinuous segments, looking like an ellipsis.
Zhang Manting once sought out a famous "half-immortal" to read the palm print for her. Seeing her love line, the white haired Half Immortal was shocked, and his face changed drastically. Then, he kept shaking his head and sighing, he said girl, you are really a wonderful girl, your love line is the unique "broken love line"! So, destined, your love is "fragmentary" -- in your life, you will be in love with a lot of men. This is not to say that you are a water lily, but every one of your love will not last long.
When he said this, the "Half Immortal" tone was filled with deep sympathy and regret. At that time, Zhang Manting was in her prime and did not take the words of "Half Immortal" seriously. Hearing this, she just smiled in disbelief.
"I don't believe that I won't be able to obtain long-term love in this lifetime!" Zhang Manting, 19, vowed, "Fate is in my hands. I don't believe in fate!"
"In the future, you will understand." "Half Immortal smiled indifferently.
She wanted to give him money, but the "Half Immortal" waved her hand and said, "Forget it, your fate is bad. If I were to charge you, wouldn't that be a crime?"
Eight years had passed, and Zhang Manting had grown up from a young girl who had just started her love affair into a mature woman. During this time, she had dated four boyfriends. It was incredible that she could not have dated her boyfriend for more than two years every time. In fact, her previous boyfriend had dated her for exactly two years, not a day more, not a day less!
Two years seemed to be the "love cycle" of Zhang Manting.
When the time came, the boyfriend who loved her to the point of death, the boyfriend who swore to her that he would suddenly lose his feelings for her and then abandon her without hesitation. What was even more unacceptable to Zhang Manting was that the boys who had separated from her seemed to be completely tired of her. When they left, they had a firm and cold attitude, and after they left, it was as if they didn't want to see her anymore, and she had actually completely disappeared from her life, as if she had never existed in the world.
After a long period of accumulation, Zhang Manting's state of mind had undergone a tremendous change. She had no choice but to believe in the "Half Immortal" 's seemingly arbitrary judgement! However, what was even weirder was that after a boyfriend disappeared, a new man would soon enter Zhang Manting's field of vision. Furthermore, this man was her favorite type — mature, steady, and full of responsibility and carefulness. In addition, this new man and Zhang Manting quickly became very popular. In less than three months, the two of them would naturally walk together. As a matter of fact, the four ex-boyfriends whom Zhang Manting had dated so far were all her favorites, so their personalities were very similar. Moreover, some of the characteristics of the four of them could be astonishingly combined!
Love cycle?! Love cycle?! Was there really such a bullsh * t existence in this world? Zhang Manting raised her head and gulped down a large mouthful of red wine. She suddenly felt a little dizzy, and with this dizziness, she crawled onto the bed and fell asleep dizzily.
Unknowingly, Zhang Manting had to rely on this method to fall asleep.
"ManTing, ManTing …" A gentle voice sounded from behind Zhang Manting's ears.
Who was calling her? Eh, this voice sounded both familiar and unfamiliar. Zhang turned his face suspiciously. He was looking at a handsome face with a high nose, thin lips, and big eyes. He was wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans and a pair of sneakers.
"Lin Luo?" She was shocked, "Lin Luo, you are Lin Luo? How could it be you? God, how long has it been since we last saw each other, five years, six years? "Back then, you left without saying goodbye. I was sad for a long time …"
"I didn't leave without saying goodbye." The smile on Lin Luo's face was as bright and dazzling as it was six years ago. "Didn't I leave you a letter?"
That's right! Zhang Manting remembered: Lin Luo, her first love boyfriend, had left her a letter of heartless parting and this man had completely disappeared. This was too strange. A week ago, this couple had been sweetly wandering around! Zhang Manting, who had lost her first boyfriend, was crying herself to death. She was unwilling to accept this. She wanted to find out how she had searched for this man, but Lin Luo seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth.
Later, the depressed Zhang met her second boyfriend, and gradually walked out of the shadow of lovelorn...
"Right, that letter!" Zhang Manting asked the question that had been sealed in her heart for many years, "Weren't the two of us fine back then? Why did you suddenly break up and disappear? "
In fact, Zhang wanted to shout at her previous boyfriends: Why? Is it really fated that in my entire life, I will only be able to have a lot of relationships that end without any problems? Why did you leave me? Why did he suddenly break up when his feelings were at their strongest and sweetest? Do you know that every time you guys leave, you always make a big hole in my already scarred heart? Even later on, when the wound was repaired and stitched up by his new boyfriend, it would leave an ugly scar that would last for the rest of his life!
In response to Zhang Manting's question, Lin Luo was silent. Suddenly, a small smile appeared on his face. His smile gradually widened and his facial features became distorted. It actually turned into a sinister and dark smile. At this time, a strange scene unfolded before Zhang Manting: Pieces of skin were peeled off from Lin Luo's face, revealing a bright red, blurry flesh. At the same time, a new, snowy skin rapidly formed on the flesh, and within a few seconds, Lin Luo's face had completely changed — it had turned into another face, with dark skin, thick lips, and thick eyebrows. That was, surprisingly, the face of his second boyfriend, Zhang Zhi!
Ah!" Faced with this ghost-like scene, Zhang Manting screamed in fear. She wanted to close her eyes and not look at this terrifying scene again! However, her eyes seemed to be supported by an invisible force, unable to fall down no matter how hard she tried.
Hahaha …" Zhang Zhi let out a devilish laugh from his mouth. That smile caused goosebumps to form all over his body.
"Chi chi — —" With several sharp ripping sounds, Zhang Zhi tore his own shirt in a frenzy. His body muscles were knotted and his left shoulder was impressively engraved with an eye-shaped birthmark. His naked abdomen expanded at a rate visible to the naked eye. It was as if there was something growing inside of it.
"Chi la ~ ~" With a muffled sound, the skin and flesh below the navel were forcibly torn apart, and a mass of blood and flesh dripped out. Small head, small body, small arms and legs, impressively it was a small baby! The baby curled his lips, but didn't let out a single cry. A few strands of hair on his head rapidly turned white, and his fair and tender skin quickly turned black. Deep and shallow lines were imprinted onto his skin's texture. In a few moments, the baby had become a crooked old man who no longer breathed.
"Ah — ah — ah!" Zhang Manting screamed in fear.
