The sound came from the window of the room.
I looked over and saw Shuo Bai standing in front of the window with his back to me. The window was closed, but the curtains were not drawn. He stood in front of the window, as if admiring the moonlight.
If I hadn't heard the conversation just now, I would have thought that Shuo Bai was really just admiring the moonlight!
Hearing the noise I made, Shuo Bai turned around and looked at me, "Why are you awake?"
I didn't answer him, but looked past his figure and looked out the window.
The moon was sparse, and the neon lights of street lamps and shops illuminated the dark night. The light also passed through the window and hit Shuo Bai's side face.
He looked sideways at me, his handsome face half illuminated by light and half hidden in darkness.
"What are you looking for?" Shuo Bai asked me again after noticing my gaze.
I came to my senses and shook my head, "It's nothing. Shuo Bai, why are you standing by the window when you're not sleeping at night?"
There is only Shuo Bai here, I don't see anyone else.
In fact, this is easy to understand. First of all, the priestess is a fairy. She has many ways to prevent me from discovering her. Secondly, Shuo Bai is very capable and smart, and it is very easy for him to hide things from me.
Now, I don't see the priestess, which means that I am being concealed.
The two of them didn't want me to know about the existence of the priestess, let alone their plans.
And since Shuo Bai wanted to hide it from me, there was no need for me to ask him what the conversation was about just now.
If I asked, he wouldn't tell me the truth. Instead, he alerted the enemy and revealed that he had overheard the conversation between the two of them.
The other party wants to sacrifice me and take my life, so I have to be careful.
My hands under the blanket were clenched into fists.
How calm my face is, how chaotic and painful my heart is!
Shuo Bai just told me to trust him and he would never hurt me. But as soon as I turned around, I overheard this conversation between him and the priestess!
He is so smart. If he intends to lie to me, why not do it more perfectly? If I don't notice anything, I won't have to suffer like this!
"I couldn't sleep, so I was just standing by the window in a daze."
While talking, Shuo Bai came over.
He climbed onto the bed and reached out to pull me into his arms.
At this time, he even still has scratches on his body from the exciting moments that I left. The gentle and sweet breath has not dissipated, but the person next to him suddenly becomes unfamiliar.
The familiar embrace and familiar breath no longer bring me peace of mind, but heartache and sadness.
I bit my lower lip hard and finally resisted the urge to cry and question him.
I didn't dare to question him, nor did I dare to break up with him, because I could lose my love, but I couldn't lose my life!
I can accept that he doesn't love me, but I can't accept that he plotted my life for the sake of a priestess!
He clearly knows how hard I have worked to survive.
That night, lying in Shuo Bai's arms, I slept extremely uneasily.
I have a personal experience with these four words, "fellow bedfellows".
the next day.
Lin Xiaoqiu and I were going to take the afternoon train back to Shencheng. Shuo Bai didn't have an ID card, so he couldn't book a train ticket for him. Likewise, he didn't need to join us on the train. After getting up in the morning, I told Shuo Bai to go back to Shencheng and wait for me.
After Shuo Bai left, I packed myself up and left the room to find Lin Xiaoqiu.
Lin Xiaoqiu's room was right next to mine. When she opened the door and saw it was me, Lin Xiaoqiu was stunned for a moment, and then she laughed evilly.
"Xiao Ning, Master Six didn't let you sleep last night, right? You have dark circles under your eyes, as if you've been sucked in yang energy."
When I mentioned last night, my eyes were hot, and tears welled up before I could speak.
I did stay up all night, but not because of the sweetness, but because of the trouble!
Lin Xiaoqiu has a bad temper. If I tell her that Shuo Bai is plotting my life for another woman, I'm worried that when I return to Shencheng, she will take the magic weapon and go to Shuo Bai to fight.
I didn't want to implicate Lin Xiaoqiu, so I quickly took a deep breath, held back my tears, and then said, "Lin Xiaoqiu, we are taking the afternoon train, and there are shopping malls nearby. Do we want to go shopping?"
Lin Xiaoqiu was not interested at first, so she asked Shuo Bai to accompany me. It wasn't until I told him that there was an antique shop that Lin Xiaoqiu agreed to go shopping with me.
It’s true that shopping relieves stress.
After arriving at the mall and shopping, my depressed mood really relaxed a lot.
Lin Xiaoqiu was shocked by my generosity and asked me, "Xiao Ning, are you rich? Did Mr. Liu give you his little treasury?"
I glanced at Lin Xiaoqiu, "We have gone out to see things so many times, and we have also earned a lot of sesame oil money. Do I need the money he gave me? Besides, I didn't buy things blindly. My father and my mother still pay for it." With me, two new clothes for each person, this is a normal expense. Lin Xiaoqiu, if there is anything you want, I will give it to you. "
"Really?" Lin Xiaoqiu said with a smile, "Then I'm not polite, let's go!"
Lin Xiaoqiu took me to an antique store. The owner was a fat old man in his fifties.
The fat old man had a beer belly and was wearing a white vest and flowery pants. He was lying on a lounge chair in the store, timidly listening to the opera. When guests come, he doesn't greet them.
In addition, other antique stores offer special offers in order to attract customers. Specials are placed in a conspicuous position, and you can tell at a glance that the store knows how to do business.
But in this store, not only did there not be any specials, but even the placement of the goods in the store was messy. Some products are placed directly on the ground, but the shelves next to them are obviously empty.
I don’t know whether it was placed this way intentionally or because the store owner is lazy. In short, this is a very messy small store. For these reasons, there was not a single customer in the store.
Lin Xiaoqiu pulled me into the store and walked straight to the shelves.
She raised her hand and pointed to a white jade gourd on the shelf, turned to the store and shouted, "Boss, I want this gourd, how can I sell it?"
The fat old man opened his eyes a little, glanced over lazily, and then said, "I can get three hundred."
Three hundred, not thirty thousand, three million, what can't be obtained?
I took the word from the fat old man's words and understood it to mean "you can afford it but you can't afford it". I was just about to say to the fat old man, we bought it for three hundred.
Before I could say anything, I saw Lin Xiaoqiu reaching for the white jade gourd. After grabbing the gourd, Lin Xiaoqiu pulled hard, but the gourd didn't move at all!
I was stunned for a moment and suddenly understood.
The fat old man's words were taken literally.
You can take the white jade gourd off the shelf. The white jade gourd sells for three hundred. If you can't get it off, the white jade gourd won't be sold.
Lin Xiaoqiu pulled hard twice more, causing the shelf to shake from side to side, but the white jade gourd still stayed firmly on the shelf.
"Fuck! I still don't believe it!"
Lin Xiaoqiu took out a yellow talisman, recited the mantra, and put the yellow talisman on his arm.
Then, she reached for the white jade gourd.
At this time, the fat old man who had never spoken suddenly said, "Little Taoist nun, the shelf costs 80,000 yuan. If the shelf falls apart, you have to compensate according to the price."
Hearing this, Lin Xiaoqiu immediately let go of the white jade gourd without hesitating for a second.
As long as it has something to do with money, Lin Xiaoqiu reacts very quickly.
Lin Xiaoqiu tore off the yellow talisman on her arm and said to the fat old man with some dissatisfaction, "Boss, this gourd is full of yang energy and is a treasure. However, is this just a gimmick in your store?
You rely on the gourd to attract people to your store, but in fact this gourd cannot be taken off at all. You use gourds to attract customers, and then take the opportunity to sell other items in your store, right? "
The fat old man wasn't angry when he heard Lin Xiaoqiu questioning him.
He sat up, opened his eyes and looked at me, "Why don't you try it?"
