Chapter 1: Nightmares

Next Chapter

On the deck outside the steamship casino, a man in a suit leaned against the railing, and the blazing white light shone down from his side, elongating his supposedly long figure to an exaggerated level.

The man's skin was very white, and his hair was deliberately pulled back, revealing his smooth forehead.

The bridge of his nose was straight, and down the pretty lines were his pursed lips, then his chin, and his throat, and because of the light, if you looked closely, you could see the transparent fuzz on his skin.

The man shrugged his brow, his slender fingers tapping impatiently on the railing.

The sea breeze at night was cool, but he still couldn't send the woman who was with him away.

In other words, women are naturally creatures who are not afraid of the cold.

"Aren't you cold at that time?" the woman finally couldn't help but speak.

At that time, he glanced at the person beside him who was holding his arms with his hands and rubbing them for warmth, and the corners of his mouth hooked up in satisfaction, "If you are cold, go to the cabin first." ”

When the words fell, there was a "bang", and a bullet grazed the man's ear, and blood quickly flowed down his neck.

"The time ——。 The woman screamed his name, and he was a little surprised, and then his chest sank, and the woman threw herself into his arms.

"Be carefulβ€”"

Fortunately, she had time to block the bullet for him.

The next second was the black-clad bodyguards in the cabin who rushed out when they heard the noise, and they opened fire on the gangsters who jumped into the sea and fled.

Bang bang bang –

Bang bang bang –

Bang bang bang –

Like a torrential rain slamming the sea, it was sudden and panicked.

"Anjin?" He looked at the woman in his arms, whose face was getting paler and weaker to speak, and his eyes fell on the pool of hot blood on her chest.

"Are you stupid. "How can a woman block a man's bullet.

"The time ...... My chest hurts, am I ...... I'm going to die. The woman raised her hand weakly and approached, she wanted to touch his face, I was afraid that she would not have a chance in the future.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Don't forget my ......."

This time, he didn't choose to stay away, but held the hand she raised to touch his face, and leaned against the side of his face, "Don't talk, the boat will dock immediately, and I will take you to the hospital immediately." ”

Dididiβ€”β€”

The alarm goes off and the nightmare is interrupted.

The man sat up from the bed suddenly, his forehead and neck were dripping with sweat, and after a brief adjustment, he reached for his phone on the bedside table and looked at the time, six o'clock in the morning.

There was a heavy knock on the solid wooden door, and he didn't have to think about it to know that it was Fang Cheng, and Fang Cheng could always knock on the door.

He put on his slippers and rubbed his throbbing temples, "Is she awake?"

"Mr. Shi, Miss Hibiscus, she still didn't sleep all night, and sat at the window all night. ”

"Go and call her. At that time, he walked to the bathroom with a soft "tsk".

Over the years, he doesn't know how many times this dream has appeared, it is like reminding him all the time that he owes her an life for Anjin, even if it is the identity of Mrs. Shi, it can't make up for it, it just wants him to remember An Jin for the rest of his life.

...

The sun has not yet come out, and there are a few white clouds floating in the hazy blue sky, quiet and distant.

The glass window was covered with a white mist, and a thin white hand wrote on it.

Hibiscus.

It's her name.

Obviously she was sitting on the windowsill on the third floor, but there was still no scenery in front of her, except for the endless woods.

From black to white, she seemed accustomed to sitting at the window every day waiting for the dawn, like Rapunzel in an ivory tower waiting for the prince to come to her rescue, and when it was dawn for her to leave the place.

There was a knock on the door of the room, and she counted it silently.

One......

Two......

Three......

Then the sound of the key twisting and the door opened.

"Miss Hibiscus, Mr. Shi called you. ”

Hibiscus's room was the rightmost one on the third floor, and she needed to walk through the long corridor to get to the one on the far left, passing by the staircase downstairs in the middle, she stared at the steps of the stairs and paused, and the man in the black suit who walked in front of her reminded in a loud voice, "Miss Hibiscus, don't let Mr. Shi wait for a long time." ”

Raise your hand and knock on the door.

A steady and mellow male voice came from inside the door, and her fingertips trembled in shock.

"Come in. ”

Pushing open the door, the man sat on the sofa facing the door, sipping coffee with his legs folded, he seemed to have just come out of the shower, wearing a white cotton bathrobe, his hair was still wet.

The man's eagle eyes looked at her like an ornamental object.

"After all these years, you still can't learn her. He put down the white-glazed porcelain coffee cup heavily, and the sound made her hands clench, "Do you know why your name is Hibiscus?"

She looked up and her gaze fell on him, "Because she likes hibiscus." ”

"Come here. ”

Hibiscus slowly approached him, Fang Cheng behind him closed the door, and the two of them were completely left in the room.

"Mr. Shi. She stopped beside him.

"Wipe my hair. His gaze fell on the white towel on the armrest of the couch and ordered.

She obediently reached for the towel, but was pressed by his hand, as if deliberately embarrassing her, she pursed her lips and twitched hard, but he raised his elbow.

Her back hit the floor-to-ceiling hanger next to the couch, and she fell backwards in pain, her fingers subconsciously grasping the white sheer hanging from the windowsill, but she still fell to the wooden floor.

"What do you want to do back then? She squatted on the ground, screaming his name, and the grievances of the savings were exposed.

At that time, he didn't laugh angrily, "I said a long time ago, no matter how many years, you can't learn what An Jin looks like, this moment is your true self." He got up and crouched down in front of her, raising his hand to clamp her chin, "What do I want? I want you to stay by my side obediently, I can give you whatever you want." ”

He replied to her white lips, without tenderness.

He was punishing her, punishing her for blindly running away from him, punishing her for not listening to him at all, punishing her for always making him angry.

She was a dog he had kept by his side since he was sixteen years old, how could she just say go.

Hibiscus frowned, closed her eyes, tears slid down the side of her face.

She looked at the magnified face of the man in front of her in a daze, his skin was very white, his hair fell messily on his forehead, and even dripping small droplets, she turned her face away, his lips slipped from her mouth to below her earlobe, she said, "What if it is Mrs. Shi's position?"

Mrs. Shi is Anjin's, and Anjin is untouchable by others.

So what if she wants to?

When he heard this, he really let go of her, and his emotional eyes instantly dyed with a hint of coldness, and he said, "You go, I'll let Fang Cheng drive you down the mountain." ”
