Shang Zhi helped Xia Fanjin buy a single-family villa here, a two-story garden house, and a unique rural style in the south of France.

But later, Xia Fanjin still wanted to return the money to him for buying a house, but Shang Zhi confiscated it, and when Xia Fanjin persuaded him, his face turned black and left.

Even in November, Provence is still warm in spring, with a variety of plants planted in the yards and on the balconies, mostly bright flowers and green leaves, creating an idyllic atmosphere.

Xia Fanjin is also happy and leisurely every day, setting up a reclining chair at the round table in the courtyard, making a cup of flower tea, reading books, watching movies, and basking in the sun every day, just like this.

The flowers here are blooming brightly, but there is no strong and pungent fragrance, but the breeze blows, and the refreshing fragrance wafts in, which shows that the original owner of this villa has the same taste as Xia Fanjin.

In the afternoon, Rafal wore a white shirt, black wide-legged trousers, and an off-white trench coat, holding a handbag in one hand and two books in the other.

Xia Fanjin was originally lying on the chair, unfolding the book on her face, she was brewing sleep, she heard the sound in a daze, she took the book on her face, and looked at the person with a smile, "You're late." ”

Rafal shrugged with a smile, "Entangled by a man who drives a Ferrari." ”

"Miss Rafal is very charismatic." Xia Fanjin teased her.

Rafal smiled absently.

This intellectually and beautifully dressed woman was Shang Zhi's classmate, a Parisian who moved to Provence after obtaining her doctorate in the United States.

The family is considered a wealthy bourgeoisie, her parents run a clothing company in Paris, Rafal will definitely join the company to assist her parents in the future, and she will also take over the company's property in the future, which is why she is a classmate of Shang Zhi, who majored in finance, but psychology is her interest.

So, now that she has a few years of free time, she has decided to go to the place she likes to enjoy life.

After Xia Fanjin lived here, Rafal was instructed by Shang to routinely come over after noon every day to give 'medical treatment', record her potential psychological condition every day, and occasionally come early to have lunch with Xia Fanjin, after all, Xia Fanjin's family chef is very skilled.

When Shang Zhi bought a villa for Xia Fanjin, he was afraid that something would happen to her, and he was afraid that she would be too lonely and prone to problems, so he hired a highly educated, professionally trained 'housekeeper' George, and a housekeeper who was responsible for her daily life, clothing, food, housing and transportation, named Anna, who was in her forties, but the etiquette was very thoughtful, and the key was that she could also cook Chinese food!

Rafal smiled and took the book in Xia Fanjin's hand, frowned at the title, and said with a smile: "Nietzsche? When did you switch to philosophy? I remember you used to look at strange ghosts and gods. ”

"I'm tired of watching it, so change the taste."

"Okay," Rafal said, flipped through the notebook in his hand, and recorded it while chatting with Xia Fanjin.

Two hours later, close to evening, Rafal put away his notebook and asked one last question before leaving: "Are you still having auditory hallucinations recently?" ”

Xia Fanjin looked at Rafal, the smile on his face stiffened, but he immediately covered up the stiffness with a bigger smile, "Occasionally." ”

Rafal watched her small movements and smiled silently.

"Night or day?"

"At night."

Rafal looked at her, then at the dark pink flower she folded in her hand, and paused, before asking, "Do you cry?" ”

Xia Fanjin's hand moved half a beat slower, and replied, "...... Yes. ”

"Will you still be in a trance?"

"Yes."

"But can you come to your senses all of a sudden?"

Xia Fanjin nodded.

"That means you don't have any damage to your emotional perception and you can control your consciousness, which is great!" Rafal said half-jokingly, half-seriously, then after a few more conversations, he left.

Xia Fanjin looked at the sky of the town, it was so blue that there was no trace of impurities, but ...... She still felt empty.

It's the kind of emptiness/weakness that erupts at night.

The first time, Rafal asked her if she was experiencing auditory hallucinations and trance.

After she answered yes, Rafal didn't ask any more questions, and she didn't think she would bring it up.

But to this day, she has to admit that she has indeed become a mental patient, and auditory hallucinations and trance are normal phenomena for so long.

When I close my eyes at night, the quiet atmosphere in the town is terrifyingly quiet, and there will be some whispering in my ears, which will gradually amplify into some intermingled sounds, such as the sound of children crying, and someone shouting her name heartbreakingly.

When you wake up from falling asleep, you don't know where you are, and a feeling of emptiness sweeps over your body from the depths of your heart.

Xia Fanjin rubbed his eyebrows, picked up the book from the table, got up and walked inside.

Out of nowhere, George came out of nowhere and followed her, and asked respectfully, "Miss Hsia, are you going to prepare dinner?" ”

Xia Fanjin didn't check for a while, was startled, covered his chest, and said, "You ghost?" ”

"Can I understand that you mean that I am humorous?"

"......" Xia Fanjin laughed dryly, he couldn't understand the black humor of Europeans and Americans.

George went to ask Anna to prepare dinner, and Xia Fanjin sat on the sofa and turned on the TV.

It's all foreign stations, and it's been more than half a month since she came to France, and she hasn't even learned the skin, so she can only communicate and greet in the simplest way, and she can't understand these programs at all, so she usually tunes to international channels or movie channels in English, or watches domestic TV series or variety shows on the Internet.

Today, when she was on the international channel, she was broadcasting a news, in the early hours of yesterday morning, an explosion occurred in a luxury estate on the outskirts of Moscow, one of the main buildings collapsed, and the police who are currently investigating have given accurate results, the explosion was mainly caused by a gas leak, and there were no casualties in the explosion.

However, some foreign experts have given a guess that not long ago, the headquarters of the 'organization', the world's most threatening terrorist organization to various countries, has been secretly relocated to Moscow, and this magnificent manor is located in the suburbs, with a very large space, which is an excellent location for setting up its headquarters, and there have been explosions here before, but it has been rebuilt in a short time and completely restored to its original state.

In addition, a number of evidence directly points to the fact that the manor where the explosion occurred is the headquarters of the 'organization', and it is very likely that the number one international terrorist Ye Liang and his henchmen live here, which has attracted great attention from the international community, but the real situation is still under investigation.

Xia Fanjin trembled heavily as he pressed the tips of his fingers on the remote control, and his eyebrows twisted slightly.

'Organization'?

Ye Liang?

These two words, she heard more than once.

Moreover, one night, she was taken from the hospital to the hotel, if she heard correctly, the woman who made her noodles was called the man, and it was called Ye Liang......

————

A week later, a light rain fell in Provence, and the sky was cloudy, but compared to the weather in City A, where almost every rain was stormy, Provence today was already very gentle.

This morning, after Xia Fanjin got up, he nested himself on the balcony upstairs to read, and his feet were warm and comfortable on the thin carpet.

Suddenly, she heard the doorbell ringing downstairs, and after a while, George came up and knocked on her door, "Miss Xia, there is a guest looking for you." ”

"Who?"

"She didn't say it, but let me tell you, do you know Gu Rushui and Moyu?"

Xia Fanjin's heartbeat skipped instantly, she bounced up from her chair almost immediately, opened the door, pushed away the surprised George and went straight to the stairs, she walked down the stairs while looking at the tall back that gradually came into her sight.

He has waist-length black hair and wears simple booties and black leggings, and a knee-length brown trench coat over it.

The man was looking up at the room, and when he heard movement behind him, he paused for a second to turn to look.

Xia Fanjin was sure that she didn't know the person in front of her, this person had excellent facial features, fair skin, smart and soft eyes, and slightly raised eyes, but compared to the delicate and young temperament, he was too mature.

"You ......"

The person who came raised his lips and smiled, "My name is Bai Yi." ”

Bai Yi looked Xia Fanjin up and down, out of her eyes, she really couldn't find much similarity with Rushui, at this time she was wearing a gray ankle-length long-sleeved skirt, black curly hair was scattered behind her head, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were written with traces of vicissitudes and loneliness.

"White will?"

Xia Fanjin walked downstairs, and when Bai Yi said the names of Gu Rushui and Moyu, and proposed to talk upstairs, Xia Fanjin hesitated for a while, and the two entered the bedroom upstairs alone.

Closing the door, Xia Fanjin looked at Bai Yi, "I don't know if Miss Bai has anything to tell?" ”

Xia Fanjin was nervous in her heart, and also felt that since she could say the names of Gu Rushui and Moyu, she also knew her relationship with Gu Rushui, and she also knew that she and Moyu would meet.

And she only has something to do with Gu Rushui, and she is only a one-sided relationship with Moyu, so what she said next may be something related to Gu Rushui......

Bai Yi smiled: "Rushui specially entrusted me with one thing, I must do it for her, the Rushui in my mouth is indeed your sister Gu Rushui." ”

Xia Fanjin gasped, she was really alive!

But listening to Bai Yi's tone suddenly, he said: "Whether you are called Xia Fanjin or Rebecca, what we do next must be kept secret, and it is a very important matter for you, are you willing to go to Norway with me?" ”

Xia Fanjin twisted his eyebrows, "Norway? ”

Xia Fanjin hesitated, but at the same time sobered up a little, the woman in front of her was just a first-time person, why should she believe her?

What if Moyu had already deceived her?

What if they have an untold conspiracy?

Finding Xia Fanjin's doubts and vigilance, Bai Yi sighed, took out something from his bag and spread it in the palm of his hand, "Well, this is like water for me, she said, as long as you have this thing, you will believe her, you will believe me." ”

Xia Fanjin looked at the things in the palm of her hand, and finally, the whole person couldn't control it, and she trembled a little, and she didn't hesitate to believe it!

Because it was a necklace identical to all the ones in her hand, and the pendant was a small box with a flip top, she hesitated and reached out to open it.

Really!

It's like water, and the words behind the photo really have the name of water.

She ...... Where is she? You tell me where she is? Why don't you come to me in person? Xia Fanjin was pleasantly surprised and incomprehensible, and a pair of dark apricot eyes looked at Bai Yi, seeking an answer.

Bai Yi smiled very hard this time, she bit her lip, "I'm sorry, she passed away a week ago." ”
