Chapter 20: Retaliation

I haven't been home for a few days, and I feel that the nest I used to be most familiar with is becoming more and more unfamiliar. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeใ€‚ infoI'll come back, I'll leave again, is it all recorded in my own book? Am I still me? is still a character who has already been scripted.

Sitting blankly on the single bed, looking at everything in the room. I miss my parents so much suddenly, I don't know how they've been doing, maybe I should find some time to go home and have a look.

The days went by, and I had nothing to do but think about the book house and the things about it. After all, I am still a human being, I need to eat and earn money to support myself, and reading books is just a part of life.

Waiting for the last customer in the fast-food restaurant to leave, I can also go home from work, and if she can leave early, I might be able to go and sit in the library for a while.

The woman held the Coke in her hand and kept staring intently out of the window, it seemed that she either had something on her mind or was waiting for someone.

I didn't have much to do but observe her silently, wearing a brown turtleneck, her face was a little sallow, her nose bones were high, and her eyes were slightly dark.

The Coke in the cup was finally finished, and the woman stood up and picked up the food that remained on the table, and it seemed to me that her movements were a little sluggish, as if her eyes were not normal.

"Customer, I'll do it." Walking around the cash register, I hurried over to the woman.

She didn't mean to stop, picked up the sorted tray and walked towards the trash can.

Ignoring my presence, the strange woman opened the door and walked out of the fast-food restaurant and disappeared into the night.

There are thousands of people, all kinds of people, and she is just a passerby, and I may forget about her in two days.

Turn off all the lights in the restaurant and I'm ready to leave.

Walking alone in the middle of the cold winter, I saw the intersection again, and hesitated to go to the bookstore to have a look.

It's been a few days, and Gu Liang has never contacted me to ask why I didn't go. Maybe I'm thinking too much of myself, and I'm just a passerby, a dispensable figure to him.

The sudden sense of loss made my heart extremely uncomfortable, even if it wasn't for Gu Liang, there were other people to see.

Thinking about it, I didn't know it and I had walked into the alley.

At the end of the road, the neon-lit plaque still clearly reads its name: There is a book house.

Who gave it such a name, and who set up the book house? It turns out that I can also have the privilege of exploring one of the unsolved mysteries in this world.

Pushing open the glass door of the study room, Grandma was still sitting in her place.

I smiled and waved at her, trying not to think about the fact that she was leaving this world.

"Xiaowei, why haven't you been here for so long?" Grandma Yun asked me with concern.

"It's a bit busy at work." I guess that's all I can say.

She nodded and looked at me with some distress: "Then you go to the sofa to rest for a while, grandma will make you a pot of tea." โ€

Thinking of the fragrance of her tea, I can't help but feel sad, if my grandmother is gone, who can make me such a delicious cup of tea.

Before tears could run down my eyes, I hurried to the couch in the middle of the hall.

It wasn't long before my grandmother came up to me with the tea she had just made. Expertly scald the cup on the coffee table, then pour two cups of tea. Looking at her skillful movements, I don't know how many times she has brewed in her life, and how many more cups she can make.

"Did Boss Gu tell you about me?" Grandma put the teacup in front of me and took it herself.

"Hmm." I nodded with a heavy heart.

"Don't feel sorry for me, grandma has lived a very fulfilling life, and knowing these people in the book house will not make you feel bored in life. Actually, if you think about it, it's not a good thing that my book is about to start rewriting. Grandma Yun smiled and took a sip of tea, although her eyes were a little old, she was still full of energy.

When people live to her age, they may see life and death very openly, but I am still too young.

"Xiaowei, you help me watch here for a while, grandma is a little sleepy and wants to rest."

I looked at the empty bookstore, and there were no guests at this time, and I felt that I could handle it.

"Okay, you go and rest."

After my grandmother left, I was the only one left in the huge study room, and I felt weird.

Where will Gu Liang be at this time? Did he go to someone's book and do the great work of changing the fate of others, I actually started to miss him a little.

Looking at the books on the shelves in the distance, instead of sitting alone on the sofa drinking tea, it is better to find a book and take a look.

As soon as I stood up, a woman's voice came over me: "Why are you here?" โ€

I followed the sound and looked up, and there was the woman named Ichiha standing next to the fence on the second floor. Today she no longer wears a red trench coat, but a beige velvet dress.

Her contemptuous gaze made me feel uncomfortable.

I didn't want to answer her because I didn't really need to explain anything to her.

Sitting back on the couch, I heard the sound of her high heels coming from the top of the stairs.

What is this woman going to do? She won't find fault with me, I'll suffer a lot.

One, I don't have an advantage in height.

Two, I didn't wear such pointy heels.

The only thing to be thankful for is that I tied my hair back up today, and I guess if I do do it later, I can grab her long curls first.

I want to think about it, but I am a product of the civilized era, and try to keep the principle that she does not move and I do not move.

Yiyu walked to the sofa next to me and sat down, still looking at me with the same uncontrollable attitude.

"Lu Wei, is it? This is not the place for you to be, and I advise you to go home early, lest you die without knowing how you died. โ€

This should be considered a naked* provocation, so how should I poke her sharpness?

"Gu Liang didn't say that I can't come."

"Yo~ Do you want to take Liang to suppress me? Little girl, you really don't know how thick the sky is. The woman looked around the bookstore, a strange smile on her lips.

She's going to do it? That's my first reaction at the moment. But before I could react again, she grabbed one of my hands.

"What are you going to do?" I exclaimed, only to see that she took out a pen at some point and wrote a few words in the palm of my hand.

With a wave of vertigo in front of me, I gradually lost myself.

What the hell did that crazy woman do to me? Gu Liang! โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•Where are you?

I slowly opened my eyes, and found myself in a completely unfamiliar environment, surrounded by a grassy suburb, with no people, no lights, and only a faint glow from the bright moon in the sky.

A cold wind blew, and the real feeling on my cheeks suddenly made me understand something.

One feather may have sent me to a book.

Although I am also a woman, it is terrifying to think of the jealousy between women. Is it my fault that Gu Liang likes me? Why didn't she just go to Gu Liang? Instead, they came to bully me, a newcomer.

Looking at the environment I am in now, I don't know who to ask.
