Spirit In Dark Night - C96
Although he didn’t believe me, he didn’t make things difficult for me.
What had changed him so much?
I really couldn’t figure it out no matter how hard I tried. After all, I firmly believed that it was impossible to change one’s personality.
I had an uncomfortable feeling in my heart, because I had never liked to lie since I was a kid, so now I felt guilty about lying.
Tathagata didn’t seem to want to argue about this matter any further. He didn’t say anything and just sat down on the sofa, feeling slightly tired.
I noticed that his clothes were a little dirty. It felt like there was a lot of dust all over his body.
In my heart, I felt even more suspicious of his whereabouts. This fellow has been out every night for so many days already. I really don’t know what he is doing.
He had his own home, which he didn’t, as if it were a rich family, and he told me at first that he lived in a temple in the back mountains of the village, but I never saw him leave his villa.
This was clearly a matter of much suspicion.
The truth about the deaths of my loved ones seems to be getting further and further away from me now. I don’t know why I would suddenly think about it now.
My head hurts again. Just thinking about these random things makes my head hurt again.
When Tathagata saw my appearance, he asked in concern, “What’s wrong? Is there a headache?”
I was startled. His attitude really surprised me. Why did his tone carry a hint of concern? This was something that had never happened before.
While I was still in a daze, Tathagata turned around and walked into the house. I didn’t know what he was doing in the gourd.
Very soon, he came out. However, there was one more thing that appeared after getting injured. “This is a special medicine that specializes in treating headaches. It’s very effective. Hurry up and eat it.”
In my hand was the medicine he had given me, and I was in a daze.
Isn’t this way too weird?
The tone of his voice was pleasant to hear, and he didn’t sound cold at all. His voice made me feel lost in it, and I was even a little mesmerized by it.
Tathagata seemed to find it funny, but when he saw my confused look, he said again, “Don’t you think that my change is somewhat unacceptable? However, this is all because of you. ”
“My contribution? What do you mean, tell me? “I said, just how do you want to torture me?”
I snapped out of it. I thought he was just making it up to torture me.
Tathagata said to me patiently, “Why would I torture you? I won’t be angry with you anymore. Trust me, I’ll definitely do it. ”
I felt a little stuffy. How could there be such a miracle?
Tathagata’s temperament had already taken root in my heart. I definitely wouldn’t change my mind about him just because of those words he said.
I kept thinking to myself that this was absolutely impossible, that he had come up with some kind of scheme.
Yes, that must be it. He must have come with ill intentions.
Thus, I secretly made up my mind that I would definitely not be fooled by his actions.
But in order to know what he was thinking, I had to feign ignorance.
“Forget it, let’s not talk about these things. If there’s nothing else, I want to rest.”
Tathagata seemed to want to say something but was hesitant. He seemed to have a lot of things to say to me. However, he seemed to be hesitating about something.
However, he did not say it out loud. He only nodded his head, “Go, it’s getting late. Go to bed early!”
As if I had been pardoned, I hurried away.
It wasn’t until I returned to my room and closed the door tightly that I finally let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he didn’t make things difficult for me, otherwise this would have been another problem.
Qihai has been really good to me, but the only thing that makes me feel regretful is that right now, there is an existence called Tathagata between the two of us, which is why we can’t be together smoothly.
I am thinking, if Qihai doesn’t exist, then maybe we can be together without worries.
However, the moment this thought appeared in my mind, I couldn’t help but be shocked by myself.
What am I thinking? Isn’t this too terrifying?
I hastily withdrew all of my strange thoughts. I wanted to force myself to close my eyes and have a good night’s sleep.
When Tathagata saw me leaving in such a hurry, his face showed endless melancholy.
His brow had formed a huge line, as if he had something on his mind.
Today, he just received news that his father urged him to go home because he had something important to do. However, he really didn’t want to go back at this time, and he knew that his father wouldn’t compromise so easily.
Should he go back?
To be honest, he really didn’t want to go back, but his father actually brought a message saying that if he didn’t go back, then he would come here.
If Dad really came, then it would be a mess. He didn’t want to see that kind of scene.
Tathagata, who never smoked, actually smoked an entire box of cigarettes that night.
The next morning, when I left my room and walked into the living room, I could smell a suffocating smell. I couldn’t help but cover my nose as I unhappily said, “How did you manage to make it so that it was filled with smoke?”
Tathagata raised his head and looked at me with his bloodshot eyes. “Today, you will follow me to a place.”
Hearing this, I immediately felt my breathing become tense. I hurriedly asked, “Where are we going?”
Of course, where he was taking me was my greatest concern. I naturally had to find out.
“Come to my house. Now, immediately, hurry up and wash up.”
I reflexively shook my head and said, “No, I’m not going to your house. Didn’t I go there last time? I don’t want to go. “Besides, that’s your house. Why do you want to drag me into it?”
I could be said to have a strong dissatisfaction in my heart. I don’t want to go to that family. Although no one could see me last time, I just don’t like the atmosphere, that place.
Tathagata seemed disappointed to see that I had rejected him without even thinking about it.
However, he resolutely said, “You must go because you have no other choice!”
There was no room for relief. I knew that perhaps it would be useless for me to resist.
I lowered my head dejectedly. Why did I always have to do something I didn’t want to do under his orders?
I really had no choice.
So I gave him my word, washed up, and followed him out of the villa.
Along the way, the two of us walked in a line. I wasn’t in the mood to walk, and I wasn’t even in the mood to take a look at the pretty good scenery by the roadside.
Tathagata also seems to be like me as he walks with his head lowered, preoccupied with his thoughts.
The two of us seem to form a unique landscape.
Finally, after walking for a few hours, Tathagata’s home appeared before his eyes.
“We’re here, keep your spirits up. My father is not an easy man to deal with. ”
I thought for a moment and said, “Even if it isn’t easy to deal with, it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with me.”
“How could it not matter? If he is intentionally making things difficult for you, you must be mentally prepared. ”
I felt that his words were a little laughable. The last time I came, his father didn’t react at all to my arrival, which means that he couldn’t see me. Could it be that he could see me this time?
“Your father clearly couldn’t see me, so why would he make things difficult for me?”
In my opinion, he was just trying to mystify me.
“The situation this time is definitely different from the first time. It’s best for you to be careful.”
Tathagata’s attitude towards me was one that rarely happens when it comes to patience. Seeing how unreasonable I am, I wasn’t reprimanded at all. This was a little out of my expectations.
This guy has really changed a lot, his temper seems to have improved a lot. Could it be that he really has something to take advantage of me?
A bad premonition began to rise in me, and my instinctive nerves tightened.
“You better explain it to me! What exactly is your purpose for bringing me to your house? ”
Although I had already reached the door, I still stopped and looked at him with a serious expression.
Tathagata said in a serious tone, “You have to go in.”
“But I …”
Before I could finish my words, the door opened and a middle-aged woman came out. She looked at us in surprise and said, “Aiya, the young master has returned. The lord has already prepared food for you!”
I immediately understood the difference in her words. She said she was waiting for you. This meant that she could see me, or she wouldn’t use one of your words.
I looked at Tathagata in astonishment. He didn’t even look at me and just replied, “Aunt Ling, you go in first. I’ll be right there.”
Aunt Ling gave me a strange look and then left as if she couldn’t believe it.
My heart began to feel uneasy. I didn’t know what would be waiting for me this time around.
This should be Tathagata’s father wanting to see me, right? That’s what I felt, but it didn’t seem like he and I could even be together. Why did he want to see me?
