Han Wanting came behind me at some point. I gave him a thumbs up and he smiled slightly, but soon turned serious. I followed his gaze and looked inside the window. Ji Shanshan's shadow had long disappeared.
I became nervous and asked in a low voice: "Where has she gone? Have you seen her?"
He shook his head. We stood by the window for a while, frustrated. After about ten minutes, we looked around and there was no movement. I just wanted to go into the auditorium and call Lingling out.
Ji Shanshan was very careful and closed the door before leaving. Just when I wanted to climb in through the window, Han Wanting asked me to close my eyes.
I did. In the darkness, I pulled on Han Wanting's sleeves in fear. After only a few seconds, Han Wanting whispered: "You can open your eyes."
When I opened my eyes, I saw rows of seats in the auditorium and an empty stage.
Did I just go through a wall?
Okay, I'm not surprised either. The most urgent task is to find Lingling first and ask why she is here.
I don’t know if it was because she was frightened just now, but Lingling didn’t show up for a long time.
"Is it because you are a ghost, so she doesn't come out? Otherwise, you wait for me outside first, and I will come find her."
Han Wanting thought it made sense and said with a smile: "Finally smart for once."
"What do you mean?" I wanted to hit him angrily, but he turned into a cat and ran away.
"Lingling, where are you? It's me. I won't harm you. I brought you delicious food. Can you come out quickly?" I shouted around, stepping closer to the corner where Lingling had just appeared.
Probably a long time passed, but Lingling never showed up. I looked at my watch and it was already eleven o'clock. Han Wanting's hidden spell will expire in about an hour. I must find Lingling.
"Lingling, we are here to help you. You must be lonely here every day. Do you want to go out and find your mother?"
As soon as I finished speaking, there was a cry from the wall directly in front of me. I quickly ran over, knocked on the wall, and coaxed softly: "Ling Ling, be good, don't cry. Your mother definitely doesn't want to see you crying like this. Can you come out? My sister will take you to find your mother."
Lingling's crying gradually became quieter, and she slowly came out of the wall.
I pulled her, took out a lollipop from my pocket, and handed it to her hand.
"Thank you, sister." She wiped away her tears while looking at the lollipop in surprise.
I took her to the moonlit seat. This was the first time I saw this little girl clearly. Her complexion is snow-white, and her eyes are as watery as a spring stream. Her little face is as delicate and cute as a porcelain doll.
"Lingling is so cute. Stop crying and tell me why you are here alone?"
I slowly tore the paper off the lollipop and handed it over.
She took the lollipop and shed tears uncontrollably. I hate it when a child cries, so I quickly comfort her. She raised her head and whispered: "Sister, do you think my mother will never come to take me home?"
I felt a little uncomfortable and didn't know how to answer.
"It was a group of bad people who caught me here. They didn't give me food and beat me. I was hungry and tired and fell asleep. When I was confused, I seemed to hear my mother's voice. My mother said she would take me home. But I have been trapped here since I woke up. I miss my mother so much." Her tears fell down one by one, soaking her clothes.
I wiped away her tears, hugged her and coaxed: "Don't cry, Lingling is the best. Mom must be very busy, that's why she forgot to pick you up. You have to be considerate of mom. Mom is usually very hard. I Just tell your mother when you get back and ask her to pick you up, okay?"
"Okay!" Lingling rubbed her red and swollen eyes and looked at me happily.
"Lingling, do you know your home address? I'll go to your home when it gets dark."
"Thank you, sister. My family lives in Building 7, Building 404, Xiluyuan."
Why does this place sound so familiar? Jiang Yue and Zeng Ke also happen to live in Xiluyuan!
"Sister will definitely help you find your mother. But in the meantime, you have to be good here. If someone calls you, you must not come out. Otherwise, bad people will come and take you away."
"Okay." Lingling nodded obediently.
"It's getting late, sister is going back. I'll come back in a few days." I touched her head and urged her to return to the wall.
I watched her walk lightly back into the wall, and then I left with peace of mind. Before I knew it, Han Wanting was already standing behind me.
He stretched out his hand and let me hold him. I quickly grabbed his sleeves and walked out through the wall with him.
After we left the school for some distance, the concealment spell expired.
The cold wind came, my legs were shaking with cold, and I even sneezed.
Seeing me like this, Han Wanting immediately said: "It's too cold now. If anything happens, we'll talk about it during the day. I'll take you back now."
"I can do it alone. You don't need to send it. Thank you."
"It's better if I send you back. It's too late now. It's not safe for you to be alone."
I suddenly sighed and said to him: "I want to go to Xiluyuan tomorrow. This girl's resentment is too deep. If her wish is not fulfilled, she will stay there forever and become a lonely ghost."
Han Wanting frowned and lowered his head in thought. It was like making a very difficult decision, and then said: "I'm with you."
"If you are very busy, don't go. I can go alone. Going with two people will only scare the enemy. I have a classmate who lives there, so I can go to her first to find out what's going on."
He looked at me worriedly and finally nodded helplessly.
The wind at night was bitingly cold, and the noisy city seemed to be swallowed up by boundless darkness, and the silence was a bit scary.
"I only have one question now, why did Ji Shanshan appear there? Didn't you and Ji Shanshan perform the four-hand bomb together at the New Year's Day party? You should be familiar with each other, right?"
Without thinking, he answered directly: "Not familiar."
"Have you ever rehearsed together?" I pressed on.
He shrugged and said helplessly: "It wasn't me who performed on stage, it was another boy, but he suddenly fell ill that day."
The old Versailles. This is someone else's child. But after knowing that they were not familiar with each other, I couldn't help but feel happy.
Han Wanting turned his face, looked down at me, and then asked with some concern: "Are you cold?"
It must be that I smiled a little bit ferociously just now, which made him think I was acting like this because I was cold. How embarrassing!
"It's okay. It's not too cold."
As soon as he finished speaking, he put his clothes on me without hesitation.
"Actually, you don't have to do this. You'll catch a cold. And I'll be home soon." I quickly broke away, my face burning hot.
He insisted on pressing the clothes on me. I was wrapped tightly and couldn't move, so I had to compromise.
that's all. The two of us walked and chatted until we arrived at the gate of the community. It was late at night and windy, and I was wearing Han Wanting's clothes. My body felt warm and my heart felt warm.
He stopped at the door, looking a little hesitant: "Actually, I have always wanted to ask you a question."
"you say."
"Are you friends with Lin Jie?" He suddenly said this, which made me a little confused.
"Yeah. We've known each other since we were kids. What's wrong?"
His expression suddenly became stiff, but he quickly put on a nonchalant look: "It's nothing, just asking."
His long fingers suddenly stretched towards my face. I wanted to avoid it but didn't.
His finger gently touched my eyebrow.
I met his eyes and didn't move away for a long time. Just like in spring, the flower that has been in bud slowly blooms on the branch.
"What, what's wrong? Are you acting like a gangster?" I woke up after a while and took several steps back.
"I shouldn't have asked you just now, do you understand?" He smiled inexplicably.
I looked at his beautiful profile and felt a little dazed for a moment. But what is it that he shouldn't ask? And what don't I understand?
And do I really not understand?
Suddenly, my head hurt, but it soon went away. I just accidentally caught a glimpse of Han Wanting's complicated eyes.
The moon was shining brightly in the sky, it was clear and cold, and the flowers that were in bud seemed to have withered overnight.
"It's very late now, go back and rest."
"Okay. By the way, I almost forgot about this. Thank you." I took off my coat and gave it back to him.
I turned around blankly, as if lost. Just now, I seemed to have forgotten something.
Did you forget something?
