Chapter 100: The Appearance of Hibiscus (3)

However, in order to unlock the taboo of the agent's house, in order to learn the meaning of the white hibiscus, Shao Wanxi specially went to Shao Hong's former residence

It's just that I have the impression that when I was a child, Shao Hong took him and lived in an ancient house in Z City

I vaguely remembered that there was a forbidden basement in the old house, and it was precisely because Shao Hong had not allowed anyone, including her, to enter there since she was a child, that Shao Wanxi was deeply impressed

At the same time, she had to admit that she had been curious about what secrets were hidden there for all these years, even she couldn't know

It's a bit sad to talk about it now

But Shao Hong's death gave her a legitimate reason to be able to get there

So early in the morning, Shao Wanxi came here alone

An old mansion in front of him has been covered by creepers everywhere, and even the blue and black iron door has been covered with rust by the wind and rain, Shao Wanxi took out an old key in the old style and opened the iron door

"Squeak"

With a sharp and piercing sound, the old iron door has been pushed open by Shao Wanxi, and then Shao Wanxi is heavy steps, step by step slowly came to the door of this ancient house, the wooden door is still well protected, but the dust everywhere has proved that no one has been here for a long time

It's just a bit of time

If you think about it, it should have been five or six years since she left here

No one has been here since

With the rapid change, the asphalt road and high-rise buildings all around it seem that this ancient house is very out of place

This moment

Shao Wanxi didn't know what kind of emotion was in her heart, suppressing her, it was difficult to breathe, and even the courage to push open the door was almost zero

Like ......

Fear of the world after facing this door

Maybe when she saw the dusty and empty room, she would think that the news of Shao Hong's death was more real, or maybe it was ...... Then she had to live on her own

But in her heart, because she was curious about the secret of the white hibiscus, she mustered up the courage to push open the wooden door again

However, everything in front of him was just as Shao Wanxi expected

Touching the scene

The pain in her heart for a moment made her frown

It's as if the dust has settled, but what you once had can never come back

It's also a dream

I want to escape

Shao Wanxi only had one thought in her heart, and suddenly she just wanted to close the door and stay away from this house

But what Shao Wanxi never expected was

The next second, she fell into a warm and familiar embrace

It's just that......

How reluctant she was to show up this hug at least...... Don't do it again......

"Why is a person here?"

A cool and endlessly gentle voice sounded from behind Shao Wanxi, but the owner of this voice seemed to have no intention of letting go of Shao Wanxi, and the hand holding her was even tighter, as if he was very attached to this long-lost hug

however

"Just look," Shao Wanxi broke free of his embrace as he spoke, hurriedly dodged him, and did not want to stay on him even with his gaze, and with some weakness in his long hair, he straightened his long hair behind his ears and walked briskly in the opposite direction where the man was

It was also a ghost who made Shao Wanxi happen to walk to the door leading to the basement without her noticing

As if she wanted to avoid Pei Yuche, who appeared beside her at this time, Shao Wanxi opened the old wooden door without hesitation and walked down

Pei Yuche, who was standing behind her, watched Shao Wanxi's every move, as if he was watching a sharp dagger stab him in the heart again and again

He really wanted to ask

What's going on...... From what happened before she appeared in the Z sea in that way

Only then did Shao Wanxi ...... I've been avoiding him

But childish

What the hell am I going to do now?

Now you don't need me anymore, I should ...... What to do......

The deep eyes were filled with sorrow that they had never felt before, like a dark abyss, constantly crumbling deeper and deeper

And the other side

When Shao Wanxi entered the basement, what caught her eye was row after row of bookshelves, except for one wall, where many photos were hung

Looking at the yellowed photos, there were black and white and color, but each one was invariably torn off in half

You can vaguely find that there was a man standing on the mutilated half of the photo

At the same time, there are only two familiar figures on each photo

There are Shao Hong and Shao Meiya everywhere

Over here

There are all the memories about Shao Meiya, but what Shao Wanxi wants to know more is whose position is the corner that can be torn off

It's just that now it's impossible to verify

Now, Shao Wanxi can only look at these bookshelves full of books, trying to find some clues from here that are related to the person in the photo and the white hibiscus flower

however

When Shao Wanxi was looking at the dazzling array of books in front of him and was distressed and couldn't know what to do, Pei Yuche had already followed Shao Wanxi from the hall on the first floor to this basement

Then he stood quietly behind Shao Wanxi, as if he hadn't noticed the situation in the basement at all, and his attention was only on Shao Wanxi alone

Until......

Shao Wanxi found him

The two looked at each other, and there was only this endless silence except silence

She looked embarrassed, and he looked sad

Perhaps it is precisely because she does not say anything that she has contributed to such an embarrassing appearance now

“...... Help me find it."

Can be final

After being silent for a long time, Shao Wanxi actually opened her mouth one step ahead of Pei Yuche, and after whispering a word, she turned her back to Pei Yuche and began to aimlessly look for clues in this vast sea of books, which even she didn't know what it would be

Oh, yes

Nothing is known

But I want to unravel everything

Now that she has lost everything, she seems to be so powerless in everything she does, and she is no longer as competent as she once was

It's as if the champion of the overall mission, the youngest elite, the only female agent with access to Section H are not referring to her who is incompetent at this moment

Shao Wanxi bit her lower lip tightly, and all the negative emotions emerged for a while

But it's not just her

Even after hearing Shao Wanxi take the initiative to talk to him and ask him to help, Pei Yuche still felt uneasy

felt that he and Shao Wanxi were inexplicably drifting apart

It is no longer a comrade-in-arms relationship, it is no longer a master-servant relationship, and it is no longer a lover relationship

Like...... stranger

No

Maybe it's the enemy

The inexplicable guilt sprouted from the bottom of Pei Yuche's heart, so that he didn't have any mind to look for clues in these books, let alone understand what Shao Wanxi wanted

So that these two people each have different emotions and have no mind to collect evidence

How long time has passed, Shao Wanxi has no specific understanding, especially in the basement, it is no longer possible to distinguish whether it is day or night

On the full bookshelves, Shao Wanxi and Pei Yuche were tired at the same time before they could read one-third of the number, and they stopped their movements one after another, and then looked at each other tacitly

A casual look with a little helplessness

You may also feel the love from the other person

however

It's fleeting

Everything was like an illusion, and the two fell into an awkward situation again

But obviously, compared to Shao Wanxi's indifference and calmness, Pei Yuche looked even more lost, and slowly came down the ladder

Immediately afterwards, Shao Wanxi also had a plan to go home, holding the handrail of the ladder and carefully stepping on the stairs step by step

"Click"

But no one expected that Shao Wanxi's light, silent movements, still broke the old wooden ladder, and then accompanied by Shao Wanxi's scream, under Pei Yuche's worried expression

There was another loud bang

It's just that......

Shao Wanxi frowned slightly, as if she had fallen from a height, and the pain was not as painful as she imagined, but when she wondered why she was safe and sound, she suddenly felt the sound of steady breathing beside her

The decisiveness startled Shao Wanxi, opened her eyes, a handsome face, a pair of deep eyes with a smile of relief, and looked at her gently

For a while, the deer collided with each other, which made Shao Wanxi lose his sense of proportion, and his brain was short-circuited

After being stunned for a long time, he got up from Pei Yuche's body in a panic

"You're all right?"

Shao Wanxi, who got up from Pei Yuche, was a little embarrassed, turned his face away from Pei Yuche, and asked softly, but he didn't stretch out his hand to pull him up

This point couldn't help but make Pei Yuche feel a little disappointed, but at the same time, he felt funny for some reason

Maybe...... I can vaguely feel that her awkward and arrogant heart is shy there

But he was afraid that he was making himself amorous, so Pei Yuche quickly put this emotion behind, got up alone, slapped off the dust on his body, and his magnetic voice was still with endless tenderness, and said to Shao Wanxi: "It's good if you are not injured."

After speaking, Pei Yuche bent down and picked up the books scattered on the ground one by one

Xu was out of guilt in his heart, so Shao Wanxi had to take the initiative to reach out and take the books in Pei Yuche's hand and put them back on the bookshelf again

But this time

The sound of a bell once again broke the rather harmonious atmosphere between them

Shao Wanxi was stunned for a moment, and picked up the phone in his hand while finishing the last book that Pei Yuche handed over

It's just that before she could say anything, Shen Xian on the other end of the phone sobbed with a choked cry
