Chapter Eighty-Four: Maybe It's Just a Coincidence
The cold moonlight sprinkled on the swaying night dark bamboo branches, and in the simple bamboo and wood room with dark yellow lights, the man who was half-kneeling in front of the rocking chair was stunned by the low scolding voice that suddenly fell, and after raising his head in surprise, he immediately buried his head.
"Yes, my subordinates know their mistakes. β
He didn't know why the person in front of him was so angry, maybe it was because he was not thoughtful, which made him think he was stupid.
"Let's get out. β
Nangong Yi sighed lightly and opened his eyes, stood up and walked to the small window, leaned over the window railing, and whispered to the man behind him in the moonlight outside the window.
When the man heard this, he nodded muffled and hurriedly left.
The assistant outside the door frowned at the man who hurried out of the door with heavy eyes, and hurriedly stopped him. The man paused, shook his head at him in silence, and then stepped onto the avenue leading to the outside of the lodge.
"What about Ning Ying?" The assistant listened to the sound of insects around him and watched the man leave, and Nangong Yi's inquiry suddenly came from inside the house, making him have to enter the house.
He gently pushed open the bamboo and wooden door, and Nangong Yi was still standing in front of the window, not looking up or looking down, I don't know whether he was raising his eyes to watch the crescent moon in the cloudless sky, or staring down at the moonlight on the grass.
"It's gone far. Also, Miss Ling calls and asks when you want to go home. β
"That's good. Scold...... It's rare that she will miss me, and you tell her that I won't be going home until school starts. Nangong Yi responded with a smile to the assistant behind him. She called him, and he refused to answer once, and she called someone else, and in her world, there was really no room for him to negotiate.
That girl, who likes to bully him since she was a child, always likes to go against him when he is at home, and now that he comes out on vacation to leave space for her, she is looking for him again.
It's just that my sister is a sister after all, and no matter how much trouble she usually makes, she still cares about him as an older brother after all.
"This ......"
"Forget it, I'll tell her. He turned to look at the embarrassed assistant, walked up to him, and smiled and took the phone on the counter.
"Well, young master, you have to rest early, I'll go first. The assistant looked at Nangong Yi's handsome face and nodded stunned, when he laughed, he, a big man with a normal sexual orientation, couldn't resist it, although this was not the first time he had seen his smile.
His fiancΓ©e, Han Yilan, decided to go abroad next semester, and he wouldn't mention it to him at the moment. Because of her, he has been angry with his family a lot lately, and he doesn't want to worry him about it.
In front of the huge lotus pond, after Luo Ying ended the call with Li Jingmu, who was far abroad, she sat on the stone railing of the pavilion with her little cousin bored, and looked at her cousin and two other cousins who were rowing lotus seeds on a bamboo raft in the lotus pond. They had a lot of fun in the lotus pond, and from time to time they called her to go into the lotus pond together, but she didn't do it, she was afraid of the water now, just take a look on the shore.
It's been almost ten days since anyone has come to look for her, the "fairy girl", and after Ming left her saying that she was going to do something, she disappeared for several days. Although she feels that this kind of day is quiet, there will always be an inexplicable sense of worry in her heart, and she doesn't know what happened and when.
"Sister, your phone screen is on again, isn't it the one just now?"
"Elementary school students, study hard, don't think all day long. She looked down at the ambiguous voice of her little cousin, looked at the mobile phone in her hand that was set to fully automatic mute, turned her head and smiled at the little girl next to her, turned around and stood up, walked out of the gazebo, and stayed away from her.
"Nangong Yi. She looked back and found that her little cousin had not followed, and was still sitting on the stone railing of the gazebo, before answering the call in a deep voice.
Recently, Nangong Yi has always called her, and she didn't feel strange at all when she saw his call. Every time she didn't answer his call, he would keep calling, and she had to answer obediently. After saying a few words to him, he will let her go, and she will be able to use her mobile phone quietly without being disturbed by him.
"Can you stop calling me by my full name every time you answer my phone?"
"No, you can't. It's already reluctant to answer your call, what do you want me to do?"
This dead Nangong Yi is really annoying. was also unlucky, he was accidentally targeted by him, he said that he was responsible for her, and it is estimated that he would not let her go so easily. It doesn't matter, he is idle and bored to harass her to pass the time, and she will accompany her to the end to see what tricks he can play.
"I heard that your nickname is Sakura, if you don't call me Yi'er, then I'll call you Sakura. β
She listened to his rather cheerful jokes, and she almost died of cold, goosebumps. Let her call him "Yi'er"? Because he came up with it, he really didn't know how much she disliked him?
"You're the baby. Yi'er, you don't hate me less. β
"The wild fruits of Zhuxi Villa are ripe, do you want to come and pick them together?" Nangong Yi didn't seem to hear her refusal, and happily continued to the next topic.
"Not available. She didn't want to, so she refused.
"You'll be free, I'll pick you up tomorrow. β
"You...... Hey!"
Hmph, Nangong Yi didn't wait for her to finish hanging up the phone, it was really not polite at all.
The woman and the child rowing the bamboo raft in the lotus pond held a large handful of lotus canopy, and the bamboo raft was docked, and Luo Ying's little cousin happily took the lotus seeds handed to her by the two sisters, peeled off the shell in three or two, and stuffed it into her small mouth.
Luo Ying walked back to them, helped her aunt get some tools, and walked in the direction of home.
"Fairy Aunt, what's wrong with you in the past two days, listless?" Before she could take a few steps, the aunt beside her looked at her and smiled.
"Second aunt, don't make fun of me, I'm not a fairy girl. β
When her words fell, the little cousin next to her grabbed her aunt and shook her head violently.
"Second aunt, women in love are like this, the eldest sister just answered the phone twice, the first time she was very happy, and the second time she came back, that's it. β
"When is the next parent-teacher meeting, do you want the eldest sister to hold it!huh?" Luo Ying stopped and leaned over to the little cousin and sneered. This little girl, her academic performance is not very good, but her imagination is very rich.
"I won't tell you. The little girl glanced at her, tilted her head and sped forward.
Luo Ying smiled and shook her head, as soon as she said this, this little girl was honest.
"I've only been back once in a long time, and I didn't see anything special about you, but I really want to see what everyone said. β
"Actually, there is nothing to hang on, the things they said are indeed true, but they are not what I did. She withdrew her gaze from her little cousin in front of her and smiled wryly at her aunt beside her.
"Anyway, you have this ability, so you have to be more careful in the future. In other words, are there any little gods and fairies who are by your side to protect you day and night?"
"Auntie, don't worry, yes. β
Min hadn't been back for days, and strangely, she hadn't seen any ghosts come to her lately.
"It's good to have it, and Lin Zhe...... I heard that he came back with his girlfriend, and I'm worried about you. β
"It's okay, after so many years of separation, I don't care about him as much as I did when I was a child. β
There was blood jade in her body that was making her care about him very much, but she couldn't tell whether she still cared about him at the moment, or whether the blood jade forced her to care about him.
"Well, it's good to see it. Seeing you like this, I didn't come back in vain. β
The sun turned dark orange, and the lotus seeds and vegetables that everyone picked together in the afternoon became a dish on the table.
After dinner, Luo's mother sent her second aunt, who had married away and came back to visit relatives, to the train station, and bought fresh milk for Luo Ying by the way.
Soon after Luo's mother returned home, Ming also floated into Luo Ying's room from the backyard.
"Well, you're finally back. Luo Ying sat at the desk, holding the milk bottle in her left hand, lifting the page in her right hand, and looking up at Ming who walked to her side.
"Hasn't anyone come to you for help in the past two days?"
"As you might expect, not a single one. She blinked and nodded.
"Hmm. Ming walked to the hammock with heavy eyes. She deliberately went to Zhuxi Villa to investigate Nangong Yi, but she didn't see anything special about him, except for his handsome face, he was completely no different from ordinary people. But as soon as he appeared, her plans were disrupted, and it was really difficult for her to dispel her suspicions about him. Or, who is behind Nangong Yi is manipulating, using him as a guise to influence her judgment, just like the last time she fell into the tiger and left the mountain. No matter what, she still has to keep an eye on Nangong Yi.
"Tomorrow, you go and meet Nangong Yi. β
Ming lay in the hammock and closed her eyes and said slowly, Luo Ying immediately put down the book in her hand and turned around when she heard the sound.
"You asked me to see Nangong Yi tomorrow!"
"What's wrong, what's the problem?" she asked in surprise as she turned to look at Luo Ying, who was shocked.
"He called me today and asked me to go to Zhuxi Villa to pick wild fruits with him, and I replied that he was not available, but he said to me, 'You will be free', and said that he would come to pick me up tomorrow. β
"Then go ahead. Ming frowned. As soon as Nangong Yi made such a fuss, it was even more difficult for her to judge. Who would be stupid enough to venture out and approach Hades Jade in person? But, if he didn't have any intentions, why did he get so close to Luo Ying like this, was it really just because he liked her?
"Why go? I don't want to be with him. Also, what have you been up to lately, can you tell me? You always ask me to do something unbounded, but I don't know why, I am confused, but I can't do it. β
"You're not a ghost, you don't need to know. If you can, I hope that you will be able to live like a normal mortal in the future, even if you have special circumstances. β
"But my life has been completely disrupted...... I don't mind what kind of life I'm going to live in the future, so you might as well tell me. β
"It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that, you know, I only follow the orders of the house, and he said don't let you know, I can't tell you. β
"Ho...... It's still a house. Okay, then I won't ask, I'll go to Zhuxi Villa tomorrow. Luo Ying chuckled and turned back to continue studying.
Luo Zhai is her life-saving benefactor, and she is willing to do this not just to repay him for saving his life, at least she really doesn't think so in her heart.
But why is she willing to do this?
