Spirit In Dark Night - C45
“Ruze, don’t scare me, what’s going on with you?” I felt my heart clench and even break out in a cold sweat.
Ruze stared straight into my eyes, and suddenly roared loudly, “Scram! “I know you’re here for revenge. You’re here to take revenge on us, so you caused the death of Mom, Dad and Sis. What are you planning to do before you give up?”
What strange words.
Ruze’s words were so absurd, there was even a hint of strangeness in them.
My mind suddenly stopped working. He told me to scram?
Was this the attitude a younger brother should have towards his older sister?
“Ruze, what exactly happened that caused you to become like this? How long are you planning to cause trouble? ” I felt like I was going to collapse. Facing this little brother of mine who was so quiet and so amazing, I really couldn’t do anything about it.
“It’s finally here. Everything is here. I just didn’t expect it to come so soon.” Ruze seemed to have calmed down a little, and his emotions weren’t as agitated as before. However, he still looked at me with a different meaning.
I saw that he seemed to be loosening up a little, and I wanted to hug him to comfort him a little.
I walked up to him and tried to hug him the way I used to. However, he immediately jumped out a large distance and yelled as if he was running away from a plague, “Don’t come near me, I know you want to kill me, but it’s not the time for me to die, so you should just wait for a few days first.”
I was stunned.
His words made it clear that he knew his time was running out and that I was the one who wanted to kill him.
But where did I get that idea?
It was too late for me to protect him. It was too late for me to find out who the mastermind was. How could I kill him?
Why did he have such absurd thoughts?
I felt extremely wronged. For a moment, I was actually so anxious that I started to cry.
Seeing my tears, Ruze’s face paled, and his eyes became lifeless once more.
“It’s time to end this. I’ve been tired all this time.” With that, he returned to his bed, lay down, and closed his eyes, as if he didn’t want to look at me anymore.
In the end, I don’t even know how I got to my room.
I just feel like it’s all out of my control.
I will always remember Ruze’s eyes and his actions.
The moment I closed my eyes, I saw that the Cloth Doll was covered in blood.
Where did that Cloth Doll come from? Why did her brother hate her so much? It seemed as if he held a deep grudge against her.
Wait, that’s not right. I was so shocked that I broke out in cold sweat.
Suddenly, I remembered that my brother’s gaze when he looked at me seemed to have a hint of hatred in it, and it was the same as when he looked at a Cloth Doll.
Did I overthink it?
No, that feeling was so strong for me.
I’m sure I’m not wrong.
My mind was filled with the shadows of my brother and the Cloth Doll.
Therefore, at this moment, the night was no different from the day to me. Whether it was day or night, I was completely devoid of sleep.
“Eldest Miss, it’s already this time. After coming back from the Buddhist Hall, you seem to be indulging in wild thoughts. It’s almost 3 o’clock, you should just rest a bit more, young master!”
Xier brought over a cup of milk tea. Her meaning was, this will help me sleep, I hope that I can have a good sleep after drinking it.
I didn’t want her kindness to be abandoned, so I took the milk tea and drank it.
However, what I did not realize was that when Xier saw the empty cup, a faint smile flashed across her eyes.
The milky tea seemed to be very tasty. It had a faint fragrance of milk, but it also had a hint of sweetness.
For a moment, my mind was filled with Ruze’s matters, so I had completely forgotten about the matter of Dr. Zhou telling me not to eat dessert.
Although this wasn’t a sweet food, it should be filled with milk sugar after all.
Xier seemed to be very satisfied with my performance, she then took the empty cup and said, “Young miss, I think it will not be long before you get tired, if you are tired, you should rest early!”
I nodded, indicating that she could go out. I wanted to be alone.
After Xier left, she did not return to her room. Instead, she looked around to make sure that there was no one around before she went to the backyard of the villa.
She imitated the cries of the kitten for a few times, and then a person noiselessly walked out.
“How’s it going?”
It was a slightly hoarse and shady voice. It didn’t sound like a normal person.
Xier’s attitude was extremely respectful, she lowered her head and said, “Yes, I will do everything according to your instructions.”
“Did you see her drink it?”
It seemed like that person was still worried, so he wanted to confirm it once more.
“I saw her drink it with my own eyes. Not a single drop was left.”
“That’s right, you did well. Then, Mintian will still do as I say. Also, you must pay attention to that new woman.”
Xier was startled, and immediately knew who she was referring to.
“I understand, I will be careful.”
“If you want to find me in the future, unless you have a special and important matter, don’t act rashly.”
“Yes, I will listen to your commands.”
The man nodded in satisfaction and immediately disappeared.
Xier wiped the sweat off her forehead. She did not know why, but every time she saw her, she would feel extremely nervous. It was funny, she was just passing on orders, but what about him? Indeed, she was sincerely listening to her commands.
Xier was still a little nervous in her heart, but she didn’t dare to stay any longer, and slowly walked back.
After I drank that cup of milk tea, I felt that my whole body had become somewhat comfortable, as if I was feeling extremely relieved.
I have temporarily forgotten that the trouble Ruze brought me perplexed you, but suddenly felt that the taste of this milk tea seemed to have a similar taste to before.
Reminiscing a bit, there was also a familiar and pleasant taste in his mouth.
I couldn’t help but greedily think that this milk tea was really quite intimate. If I could drink it every day, how great would that be!
As he was thinking, he found it hard to keep his eyes open.
I don’t know if it was due to the calming effect of the cup of milk tea or my mental one, but I actually started to fall into a deep sleep.
After I fell asleep, what I didn’t know was that there was a figure quietly walking in, coming to my side, quietly watching me.
“Everything I’ve been looking forward to is finally coming. There’s still a month left, and everything will be coming soon.”
“You really shouldn’t be here.” A voice suddenly came from behind her.
She turned around to look and her expression changed drastically as she said unwillingly, “Young Master Rulai, could it be that you’re this heartless? You’ve locked me up for so long, and don’t allow me to come out occasionally?”
Tathagata said expressionlessly, “You should know that this is for your own good. Now is not the time for great events. If something unexpected happens, then what is the consequence? Do you know?”
She seemed to be shocked by Tathagata’s words. Her voice also started to tremble, “Young Master Rulai, you’re not that serious, right?”
“Hmph, do you really think so? Don’t you know what the situation is like? ”
Her face turned terrifyingly pale. “Alright, I understand. I was careless today. I won’t make such a mistake again in the future.”
Tathagata then said, “Then why don’t you hurry up and leave? “Be careful, don’t let anyone find out on the way.”
She looked at me again, as if conflicted, but she left.
Ru Yue looked at me for a while with a complicated expression before finally sighing deeply and leaving as well.
I don’t know anything about it.
When I woke up the next day, it was already late in the morning.
“Eldest Miss, you’re awake. The breakfast I prepared for you today is milk tea and a sandwich.”
Looking at Xier’s smiling face, I felt that it was really friendly. In addition to that, when I heard the word milk tea, I immediately became spirited.
I drank the milky tea in big gulps. The fragrance was so sweet that it could be said to be the highest quality delicacy in the world.
However, I found that I was the only one who received such treatment. Other people’s breakfasts were only steamed buns and a few side dishes.
I couldn’t help but find it strange. This was a treatment that I had never received before. How could it suddenly change now?
I knew that Xier wouldn’t be able to decide on her own, and she wasn’t the one who told me to eat whatever she wanted to give me, so I thought to myself, there’s only one possibility for all of this, and that is, Tathagata or Grandma Hao told her to do so.
But would they be so kind?
Or did they have some other purpose?
I looked at the milk tea and stopped swallowing.
I stole a glance at Tathagata and saw that he was chewing his food with his mouth closed. It was quite funny though. He had always kept his mouth shut when he ate.
He couldn’t see anything out of the ordinary, and there wasn’t anything special about him.
I then looked at Grandma Hao, and realized that Grandma Hao also had a wooden face, like a puppet without any expression.
I didn’t get any valuable clues, and I thought, never mind, let him be. Let’s eat our fill first.
Besides, my life isn’t going to last long now. Why would I be afraid of them harming me?
When I thought about these things, I couldn’t help but calm down.
I finished my breakfast quickly and left the restaurant.
Just as he walked into the courtyard, he encountered a warm welcome.
“Ruxue, where are you going?”
She watched with a warm smile on her face.
I felt a little awkward. Although she saved my life because I was bitten by a cat last time, I felt that it was weird and unusual.
However, he still had to keep his face.
“Warm, why did you just arrive? Breakfast is almost over. ”
Ruxue, there’s a cat in my room. It makes a ruckus every night, and I can’t rest well all night. That damn cat, how could she chase it away?
Hearing those words, I was shocked. Could the cat she was talking about be the one that bit me?
I had a premonition that perhaps the cat who had bitten me was the one in her room.
That was strange. The cat was coincidentally in a warm room. Perhaps this really had something to do with warmth?
