Spirit In Dark Night - C59
“Qiduo, have you left?” I shouted as I wiped the sweat from my forehead.
However, I noticed that I was asking a question that sounded like an idiot, because at this moment, besides me, there was no one else in the room.
The dream was still vivid in his mind, as if it had really happened.
The dream’s scene was simply too realistic, and that girl called Qiduo, seemed to look very familiar.
It was really a dream. I didn’t pay too much attention to it and only roughly looked at it. I wasn’t able to see it very clearly. That face seemed to be a little blurry.
I looked at the time, as if I had only slept for a dozen minutes. Wasn’t this sleep too short?
It seemed that he would wake up just from this dream.
For the rest of the day, I kept thinking about this dream and that girl called Qiduo.
The next day, at five in the morning, Tathagata arrived.
I didn’t know how to react. Did he come to find me at this time of day again?
Seeing my nervous expression, Tathagata seemed to find it funny. “Are you afraid of me?”
I calmed myself down, eyes deliberately wide, before I said, “Don’t be so self-righteous, I’m not afraid of you.”
I came to tell you that Grandma Hao’s body is currently unwell, and is unable to prepare the things needed for the wedding. Therefore, I found another servant, she is the Aunt Li, and is very knowledgeable about this, and will go to prepare the wedding clothes in a while. She should be able to bring it back by noon.
I felt my whole body shaking. I thought that since Grandma Hao was injured, maybe we could postpone the wedding for a bit, right? However, he didn’t expect that he was still unable to escape.
“I don’t want it, I don’t want any clothes, I don’t want a wedding with you.”
Although I’ve heard this story more than once, I still didn’t want to accept it from the bottom of my heart.
Tathagata said in disdain, “I’m not here to discuss this with you, I’m here to notify you.”
Uh! It seems like he is here to give me an order. So I have to accept it?
At this moment, I hated Tathagata all the more.
However, because of his anger, he was unable to say anything.
Just as I was getting angry, the servant called Aunt Li entered. Looking carefully, I realised that she was the only servant other than Xiao Tian in this villa.
Aunt Li expressionlessly walked over to my side, looking down on everyone as she played with my body, as if she was trying to measure the size of my body and was going to make clothes for me.
I was disgusted by all this, but there was nothing I could do.
In the entire process, I could only watch as Aunt Li finished everything.
Aunt Li’s face was stiff, with a straight face, as though I owed her a lot of money.
After Aunt Li finished doing everything, she respectfully said to Tathagata, “Young Master Rulai, I’ve been watching over this entire thing. I’ll head over right now. I believe that I’ll be able to finish it at the last moment.”
Tathagata nodded in satisfaction and said, “Go. I’ll leave this matter to you.”
Aunt Li left quickly.
I came back to my senses after a while. “Are you really going to marry me? But I don’t understand, why on earth do you have to choose me? ”
“Didn’t you already ask this question once? If I wanted to answer you, wouldn’t I have already done so? “Why wait until now?”
Tathagata seemed to think I was childish, but I just wanted to find out what he was up to.
“If you answer me, then I will agree to enter into an underworld marriage with you.”
I felt that I was giving my all to find out the true purpose of Tathagata.
Indeed, not only was I stunned by myself, even Tathagata was stunned.
“Alright, Mei Ruxue, stop trying to goad me into doing this, this method is useless against me.”
I was immediately discouraged.
Tathagata looked at me in amusement before swaggering away from me.
I was in no mood for the whole afternoon.
But at noon, the Aunt Li appeared on time.
I only felt that my heart was a little against her, but I was completely powerless to resist.
Aunt Li took a red qipao and threw it to my side, telling me to quickly try it out.
I wanted to resist, but seeing the Aunt Li’s terrifying face, I gave up on that idea.
A wise man does not fight when the odds are against him. Right, I firmly believe in those words, so I obediently tried out the qipao.
When I put on my qipao and stood in front of the mirror, I was shocked by who was inside.
However, I wasn’t surprised by my beautiful face. Rather, the red qipao I wore was simply too bizarre.
Ah!” I couldn’t help but cry out.
How was this possible?
What did I see?
It was really a replay of the scene, and I looked exactly the same as the one in the frame.
The woman who looked like me in the photo was wearing the same red qipao. Even the patterns on it were the same.
And it wasn’t just me who was shocked, even the Aunt Li beside me seemed to be dumbfounded.
“It’s too similar, it’s too similar.”
I seemed to have heard the Aunt Li’s words, but as I was thinking about this strange scene, I didn’t pay much attention to it.
The picture frame, my mind, is now full of the woman in the frame.
I felt as if my mind had stopped working. How could something so terrible happen to me?
While I was thinking about it, Tathagata’s appearance once again caused my heart to reach its limit of endurance.
Tathagata quietly appeared behind me. Although I didn’t turn around, I could see him in the mirror.
Only, when I saw the suit that Tathagata was wearing in the mirror. I felt my vision darken, and I nearly fell down.
He was wearing a hat, a tie, and a black suit. It was just like the outfit he wore in the photo frame. It was even weirder than it looked like it was made of the same cloth.
Tathagata’s eyes stared straight at me, causing me to feel a chill that pierced into my bones.
I began to doubt the whole thing. It seemed to be a conspiracy.
And why is the man and woman in the frame the same as we are in reality?
What did this portend?
Tathagata looked at me with a faint smile and said, “You don’t seem happy?”
I looked back. “Why should I be happy?”
Tathagata said unhappily, “You’re going to marry me tomorrow. Don’t tell me you don’t feel happy at all?”
“Tomorrow? “Why are you in such a hurry?”
I thought it would at least be the day after tomorrow, but I didn’t expect to hear that there would be an underworld marriage tomorrow.
I began to worry, I really didn’t dare to imagine the wedding scene.
A scene began to form in my mind. It was the wedding, but when I thought of that strange scene, I couldn’t help but shiver.
“Don’t think too much into it. Rest well tonight. I can allow you to not go to the buddhist hall tonight, but tomorrow morning’s wedding is scheduled to take place.”
Tathagata’s words left no room for negotiation.
I saw in the mirror that Tathagata had brought Aunt Li away, and when that Aunt Li reached the door, he even turned around to look at me meaningfully.
I saw a strange look in her eyes.
I don’t know how I got through this afternoon.
At this moment, there was no one around me who could help me. There wasn’t even someone who could talk to me.
Perhaps I’ve been in a trap since I got back to this villa?
Now that he had covered himself up, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t escape.
Dizzy as it was, I wandered around the courtyard. He walked aimlessly.
Just as I was in a trance, a person suddenly grabbed my hand and started running frantically. I was simply struck dumb by this sudden scene.
I couldn’t even see the man’s face because he was moving so fast.
It was only after running for a while that everything stopped.
At this moment, I gasped for breath. I couldn’t help but think that someone had come to save me from my suffering?
Looking at that person’s back, my eyes moistened. “Are you here to save me?”
I don’t know why, but after I asked this question, I felt really wronged. The grievances in my heart also collapsed at this moment.
The man turned around, and I realised it was Qihai!
I suddenly felt a pang in my heart. Looking at his handsome face, I saw that it had turned somewhat pale.
For a moment I couldn’t help laughing, and then I threw myself into his arms and began to cry.
Qihai did not interrupt me, but only allowed my tears to flow.
I didn’t stop crying until I lost all my strength.
“Don’t be sad, I’ve come. I can’t hold back my emotions anymore.”
Qihai’s words were so tender, I felt a strange feeling spread throughout my body.
I stared at him and said, “What do you mean?”
“Can’t you tell? I mean, I like me, and I don’t want to control my feelings for you anymore. I don’t want you to marry Tathagata, I want you to marry me. ”
I was suddenly frightened stiff by Qihai’s words.
Qihai likes me?
We’ve only met a few times.
“Don’t you like me?” Qihai’s voice seemed a little sad.
I asked myself. Actually, I still have a good impression of him. This feeling is quite strange. For this man, he is far stronger than me.
“I, I don’t know?”
I lowered my head and blushed.
Qihai said gently, “Don’t hide your feelings, love is something that needs to be said, okay?”
Perhaps I was encouraged by his words, but I really felt that I should like him?
However, there was still a bit of contradiction in his heart. He didn’t know if this sort of feeling was true love.
But at this moment I was really too lonely and helpless, suddenly appeared to me a person to express his scheming, I was no doubt moved.
“I won’t let you marry Tathagata, and I have a foolproof plan.”
