Chapter 45: Transformation

When Xiao Lei opened his eyes, he stared at the curtain on the bed for a long time, and suddenly couldn't remember where he was. Is it in Kunlun? Or in a prison cell? Until a Qianqian hand shook in front of his eyes. Xiao Lei turned his head to look, and a woman with an aura like a blue ran into his eyes.

In an instant, all his memories came back to him, and he remembered the scenes when he was tortured in court, including his father's false accusation against Shi Manman. He avoided Shi Manman's gaze, and his heart was astringent.

Shi Manman looked at Xiao Lei's appearance avoiding her gaze, and his heart was empty somehow.

"Vine ...... Stone Girl. Xiao Lei closed his eyes and didn't look at Shi Manman's expression when he heard him shout the name of his alienation.

"I'm not called Miss Stone." The same words are said in different tones. There was less irritation and more sadness.

Xiao Lei still didn't want to let himself see Shi Manman's appearance, ignored Shi Manman's correction and continued: "My father has done something worthy of the girl, but I also ask the girl not to care about you and me." When he said this, he was ashamed of himself. Shi Manman saved herself several times, but she asked her to forgive her father for what she had done.

"The sinister nature of the world only now did I know that the Xiao family protected me too well. And I naively thought that you came to the world, and I could protect you when you came to the Xiao family, but it was you who saved me once. You are a demon, but you are free from the shackles of this earthly world, and I can't guarantee your safety if you stay...... You...... Let's go...... I ...... "God knows how hard it was for him to say these things.

"Cowardice! Impotent! Coward! "The tender voice and the tender voice clearly do not belong to the stone vines.

Xiao Lei was indifferent, as if he had acquiesced.

"Hmph, you're the one who let us come here, and you're the one who drove us away. In order to save you, I almost split my head. Humanity is truly ungrateful! The little hooked snake burst out of the sleeve of the stone vine and cursed. It was still thinking about Brother An's sneak attack, and when the cultivation was restored, it would have to avenge the fright sooner or later.

"Let's go! I don't want to stay here anymore! The little hooked snake landed and wrapped its tail around the stone vine's ankle, trying to move in the direction of the door. It's as if a child with a tantrum is dragging the parent away.

Xiao Lei's words were interrupted by the little hooked snake, he was not annoyed, but glad that he did not say something that might make him regret it for the rest of his life in the future.

"Do you want grilled fish?" Shi Manman threw out an inexplicable question. Because the little hooked snake shouted loudly, Shi Manman felt noisy.

"Eat!" The little hooked snake forgot how long it had been since he had eaten meat, except for the dried dried meat and boiled eggs in the shell.

Listening to the conversation between the two demons, Xiao Lei recalled his days in Kunlun, he had asked Shi Manman the same thing, and Shi Manman replied the same. Xiao Lei already regretted what he said to Shi Manman on impulse.

Those words were somewhat impulsive and self-defeating, and he was angry at his own uselessness. and seems to understand why his father has thousands of family wealth, but he still has to enter the government by himself. He once felt that his father was greedy, but after this experience, he realized that he was naïve.

"Do you want to eat?" After Shi Manman appeased the little hooked snake, he asked Xiao Lei again.

"You ......" Xiao Lei looked at Shi Manman hesitantly, not knowing what she meant. Looking closely at her appearance, it is indeed just a simple question.

"I don't eat it." Xiao Lei shook his head, after the solemn atmosphere was stirred up by the little hooked snake, he no longer had the courage to mention the words he had just asked Shi Manman to leave.

When Shi Manman got up, a book fell from his body. Shi Manman picked up the book and patted the ashes, Xiao Lei didn't clear the name on the page.

"What is this?" Xiao Lei asked.

"Oh, the book that fell from the guy who just helped you in." At first, Shi Manman wanted to return the book to the other party, but when he saw that Ding Xing was in a hurry, he didn't hear her shout. Curious, she flipped through the pages, and was surprised that she could read the words on the paper.

Recalling the beginning, the first time she saw the plaque hanging on the main entrance of Xiao Mansion, she also recognized the huge word Xiao Mansion. It's just that at that time, I was tired of traveling and driving, and I was dazzled by the scenery in the world, and I didn't have the heart to question how I could understand the words of the world. Now that I think about it, it should also be the ability left by the fairy in red at the beginning.

"It says: 'Men and women do not kiss each other. But if you have taken my hand and rubbed my waist, you will be responsible for me. Shi Manman's expression was serious, but the words he said were very stiff, as if he was reading from the script. looked at her confused expression, as if she didn't quite understand why she was responsible for holding hands and rubbing her waist......

"What books have you read?" Xiao Lei reached out and took the book in Shi Manman's hand, and only turned one page. A vivid picture of spring/palace jumps into view, which is exactly the illustration in this book.

Xiao Lei immediately closed the book, and the action of stuffing it under the pillow was too big and affected the wound, and he endured the pain and said to Shi Manman: "If you want to read a book, you can go to my study, this book demon can't read it." ”

"Hmm." Shi Manman obediently agreed, and was about to turn around and go out.

"Where are you going?" Xiao Lei saw that Shi Manman was leaving, and asked nervously. Could it be that she listened to what she just said and was about to leave the Xiao Mansion?

"Grill fish for the dragon." Shi Manman stopped and answered.

"Just let someone do it." Xiao Lei was secretly relieved to see that Shi Manman didn't plan to leave.

"I saw that the fish in your fish pond were very beautiful and tender, and the dragon had been pestering them to eat. It has been very helpful these days, and I promised him to grill the fish himself. Listening to the meaning of Shi Manman's words, the koi fish in the family are going to suffer.

Yun Bi returned to Xiao's house, and asked his entourage Ding about what happened in the court. learned that Shi Manman appeared in time to stop the punishment and save Xiao Lei, and heard from that family Ding how she proved the innocence of her son, and later almost was sentenced to prison for disturbing the court. In the end, although they didn't know who the murderer was, Childe and Shi Girl came back safely.

"Miss Shi is in the Xiao family?" Yun Bi grasped the point in Jiading's words.

"Yes, when I went to the Childe's Courtyard, I saw Miss Shi guarding the Childe in the Childe's room." Na Ding said.

Yun Bi's face was a little flustered, but she remembered how the old man framed Shi Manman as a murderer. If it is unbelievable to say that Shi Manman doesn't mind her at all, I don't know what the purpose of Shi Manman's stay by Xiao Lei's side is.

Especially since she herself was a witness, she still remembered the gaze that Xiao Lei looked at her in the court. It's a look in the eyes of someone who is betrayed. No! She can't let Xiao Lei lose his trust and dependence on her. The first person she wants to see before Xiao Lei wakes up is herself.

She didn't inform Xiao Yuan of the news of Shi Manman's presence in the Xiao family as soon as possible, but hurried to Xiao Yuan's courtyard.

When he arrived at the courtyard with a familiar car, Shi Manman had just left.

"Childe." Confirming that there was no one in the room, Yunbi softly called outside the door and pushed the door in.

Xiao Lei, who was recuperating with his eyes closed, heard a familiar call outside the door, followed by the sound of cautiously pushing the door in.

He knew that Yun Bi had entered the room, but he still had his eyes closed. Although she is a maid, she cannot go against the orders of the head of the family to testify in court. But the events in the court are vivid, so he doesn't know what eyes and attitudes to use to treat this person who grew up with him since he was a child and regards him as a sister.

Xiao Lei still remembers the day when his mother was alive, and the sunny trance people couldn't open their eyes. The maid beside his mother led him to her courtyard, and he saw a big sister who was a few years older than him, standing beside his mother shyly and crampedly, secretly looking at himself with his spare eyes. The simple and beautiful face gradually blurred and could not be traced.
