It took a long time for his confused brain to issue a warning to Tang Yiling; the exquisite furnishings in the house and the larger sense of space than the dormitory told Tang Yiling that this was not his dormitory!
The eyes that were still dazed suddenly widened, and the fear caused by the unknown kept the adrenaline in the body on standby.
But after waiting for a long time, no danger came, and even the strange black shadow that I encountered before seemed to have disappeared.
"I vaguely remember that before I fell into coma, I seemed to have been dragged out of the snowdrift and dragged all the way back." Fuzzy memories rushed through Tang Yiling's mind, and the only thing left was the white hair blown by the wind. .
"Could it be her, but why..."
"You are wondering why a stranger who only met once would save another strange soul, right?"
A mature and elegant female voice entered the house as the bedroom door was slowly pushed open; Rowena, standing outside the door, put on thick clothing to avoid the cold.
There was always a mysterious smile on Rowena's face; her eyes were always fixed on Tang Yiling, who was leaning on the bed and still unconscious.
"Who are you……"
Looking at the strange woman standing outside the apartment door, although Tang Yiling's thinking was still a little slow, he still felt vigilant in his heart.
"Can't you see clearly?"
"What?"
But before Tang Yiling could speak, Rowena's rhetorical question caused Tang Yiling's already slow consciousness to stall again. And what Rowena said next completely shattered Tang Yiling's current dullness and confusion in an instant!
"I mean, can't you see the colors of emotions clearly? You can understand that I have no ill intentions towards you."
From the first time Tang Yiling saw Rowena, he only saw two words, "elegance"!
This is a unique temperament that requires long-term etiquette teaching and long-term influence from a scholarly family to exude from the inside out.
And not only the behavior, but also the words and tone of speaking, also reveal the ladylike temperament of everyone.
At the same time, Tang Yiling also sensed a trace of the deeply hidden sense of alienation from her movements.
White light flashed across his eyes, but this time it was no longer as smooth as before. Instead, Tang Yiling's eyes felt a stinging sensation like needles.
"snort!"
Under Tang Yiling's deliberate suppression, the muffled sound of pain was not obvious; but looking at Rowena's expression outside the door, it seemed that she had expected this result.
"Although I really want to praise your willpower. But some illnesses cannot be cured by just patience..." Rowena opened the sky blue handbag in her hand and found an unopened bottle of eye drops.
In order to take care of Tang Yiling, who was still emotionally unstable, Rowena had no choice but to put eye drops on the wooden table near the door through the apartment door.
"In case you are tired of my intrusion, I will not enter the house."
With that said, Rowena pointed to the eye drops she just put on the table. "Just treat this bottle of eye drops as a personal gift from me."
"boom!"
Before Tang Yiling could speak, after finishing her last words, Rowena closed the door and left. Tang Yiling opened his red eyes and stared quietly at the bottle of eye drops with a brand new appearance.
(There was not a single lie in that woman’s mouth, but if that was true, she would be in big trouble...)
Regardless of whether Rowena's words just now reminded Tang Yiling accidentally or intentionally, now he understood one thing; the secret they originally wanted to hide has been known to outsiders who have never met, which can only mean that one thing.
(When the secret is no longer confidential, either someone has rebelled, or it has been exposed...or both)
"But, how is this possible!" Tang Yiling couldn't believe it. Several people's faces flashed through his mind, but when he recalled his sister's face, he was directly interrupted by himself. "This is absolutely impossible!"
The absolute trust in his sister in his heart, and the true words he "saw" Rowena said just now, made him fall into deep self-doubt.
(Disguise? No, no one can pretend to be my sister so perfectly... Then, others, even the woman just now, may have been disguising themselves.)
(But what my sister said to me before departure...)
In Tang Yiling's mind, she once again recalled the questions she asked her sister before everyone set off.
"If it is necessary to name the curse, then how can we hide the [real name] of the curse? I always feel that the naming step is a bit unnecessary."
(At that time, my sister turned around and looked into my eyes. She just pondered for a moment and then told the truth about [real name])
"Double disguise, the real purpose of naming the curse is to protect the curse that is still in its 'budding' state. At the same time, it can also expose fatal flaws to enemies who don't understand you and pretend to be people around you!"
Recalling every word his sister said, Tang Yiling, whose attention had been diverted, slowly calmed down; his chaotic consciousness regrouped, and the knot of self-doubt was finally untied bit by bit by himself.
The fast-moving mind is trying to connect together the problems encountered some time ago bit by bit. But there were two questions for which he still had no logical answers.
(The dark shadow I met before is presumably the opening story in the "Collection of Horror Stories from Qian Ling Academy". Could it be that those so-called stories are all true?)
Although the authenticity of the story is open to question, based on previous encounters, it would not be wrong to be more vigilant.
(Now, there is only one last question left.)
His mind turned quickly, and finally stopped at the moment when Rowena pushed the door open. And this question, which is also the one that is causing Tang Yiling's thinking the most right now, lies in her words.
"...Can't you see the colors of emotions clearly..."
(As a stranger, a stranger whom I have met for less than a minute, how did I learn that I had awakened the curse, and how did I know so well about my newly awakened new abilities!)
"This is not a substitute... Could it be that my enemy this time will still be a stay-at-home vampire?"
Just after he finished complaining, the stinging sensation in his eyes once again brought his thoughts back to reality. He propped up his still tired body and stumbled all the way to the door. He picked up the unopened eye drops and tore them open. Outer packaging.
The drops of eye drops were like nectar after a long drought, nourishing Tang Yiling's eyes that were burnt and chapped.
A few minutes after instilling the eye drops, Tang Yiling's eyes, which were originally stinging, had basically recovered their vision.
Tang Yiling, who opened his eyes, could still feel that Didi Zhu was still sparing no effort to repair the wounds deep in his eyes.
The pain was relieved, but after recovery, his eyes were staring at the eye drops in his hand. Looking at the eye drops in his hand, Tang Yiling felt inexplicably relieved.
He picked up the hot water bottle on the side and poured hot water into the glass that had been prepared for him. Because he couldn't find cold water, Tang Yiling had to wait slowly for the hot water to cool down.
"Gudong! Gudong!"
After drinking two glasses of warm water, Tang Yiling reconnected with his stiff body. But what followed immediately was a feeling of hunger rising from the sky.
"Squeak——"
The bedroom door was slowly opened, and the aroma of chocolate cake hit my face.
Tang Yiling gritted her teeth, suppressing the urge in her brain due to hunger, and quietly watched as a pair of slender hands placed a small plate of neatly cut chocolate sandwich cakes through the crack in the door and placed it next to the glass.
"I know you will be very hungry when you wake up, so I specially cut a piece for you. I hope you won't dislike it."
Rowena's voice came into the house along the crack in the door, and after speaking, she left on her own.
"..."
"Why do they want to do this?"
When Tang Yiling came back to her senses and began to think about the problem, she found that she was holding a porcelain plate with chocolate crumbs on it, and her mouth kept relishing the bitterness and sweetness of the chocolate in the cake.
Walking out of the bedroom with the porcelain plate in hand, Tang Yiling felt a little uncomfortable looking at the overly decorated living room. The large double-door refrigerator was placed in a conspicuous position near the kitchen, but the showcase displaying trophies and certificates was placed in a corner where no one was watching. .
