Chapter 288: Attacked
I don't know what kind of language the song is, with an exotic melody, melodious, long, soft, seductive, like a banshee under the sea flickering.
Yes, Star Swirl saw herβ
Her long hair was a flaxen-colored sheen, her translucent eyes were like amber in the depths of the sea, her fair skin was from the polar ice, her slender body was writhing like a sea serpent, and her red lips were slightly open, as if she were telling Star Swirl something.
"Sister...?"
Green water rushes into the nostrils like air. The water choking into her pipes causes Star Swirl to twitch in her dreams, first as if it was about to explode, then into a burning flame.
Seeing a familiar, but extremely bepleasing face again, this mysterious feeling seemed to bring her into another world.
Suddenly, Star Swirl felt a force from her wrist pull her out before she could land through the last door.
Star Swirl felt herself ascending rapidly, a strong, warm hand wrapped tightly around her slender waist and led her to the entrance of life.
Finally, she surfaced. The dream ended.
The morning sun shone through the window on his handsome face, slender fingers stroked over her cheeks, and in the enchanting turquoise pupils, there was a deep undercurrent, like worry, like hatred.
Suddenly startled, Star Swirl didn't want to explore the emotions she couldn't understand, and asked in a voice that she couldn't understand, "Haven't you slept yet?" β
"You just had a nightmare." He stretched out his hand to brush away her messy forehead, revealing a jade-like forehead and delicate features.
The slightly curved eyes, even when angry, seem to have a shallow smile. The slightly upturned tip of the nose, the delicately contoured lips, every part of which is so small.
His heart trembled, and he used his fingers to caress the curvature between her eyebrows, but he felt a thin layer of sweat oozing from her face.
"It's kind of weird this time," Star Swirl sat up with her hands on the edge of the bed, "I didn't realize I was in a dream at all, and even the drowning felt very realistic. β
"Drowning?" A fierce look flashed in his blue eyes.
After Star Swirl roughly recounted the events of the dream to Mr. X, seeing that he didn't say anything for a while, she tentatively asked, "Do I want to... Moved to your side? β
Mr. X shook his head: "There is no place for you anymore." β
"What's the situation?" Star Swirl immediately jumped out of bed and rushed to the door of the other bedroom with her bare feet.
The man who was lazily cowering at the foot of the bed looked like a gentle big cat with its claws hidden, and his slightly open placket vaguely revealed pale honey-colored skin.
"Mr. Deer... When did he come? Star Swirl looked at Mr. X, and there was a little more ambiguity in his eyes.
"This guy was scratching the door outside before dawn," Mr. X's face showed helplessness, "and he said he forgot his key." β
"So you're justβ" Star Swirl's gaze fell on the plush blanket spread out on the sofa in the living room, and he knew that he must have been robbed of the bed by Lu Jingfan last night, and slept on the sofa by himself, but he still teased, "Let's sleep together?" β
"Do you even want to eat Mr. Deer's vinegar?" His face suddenly approached her, and his blue eyes seemed to be smiling.
Star Swirl's cheeks flushed, her mouth pursed slightly, and instead of her usual meekness, she glared at him hatefully, and said angrily, "Don't think you can do whatever you want with a little bit of possibility!" β
At this point, the bell rings outside the door, and Star Swirl has to retract her expression, and after a few seconds, she regains her composure.
It was Bai Xiaohan, and Star Swirl was not surprised by her visit, after all, she and Lu Jingfan were roommates. However, the person following her was a little surprising to Star Swirl.
Han Dongzhi had gauze wrapped around his head, and his eyes looked at the two people in the room blankly, his expression was very depressed.
"What happened?" Mr. X looked at Bai Xiaohan.
"Mr. Han was attacked in his apartment last night, but he didn't see who it was. He doesn't dare to stay there anymore, so you... Can you take him in temporarily? β
Mr. X looked at the half-hidden bedroom door and sighed, "Then you can bring the guy back in the house first." β
"Lu Jingfan took your territory last night? Youβ" Bai Xiaohan's ambiguous eyes were exactly the same as Star Swirl's.
"Teacher Bai," Star Swirl interrupted her for fear that Mr. X would annoy her, "how could she be suddenly attacked?" Did you find anything suspicious? β
Bai Xiaohan's attention returned to Han Dongzhi's pale face: "Mr. Han thinks that Hao Rui attacked him. β
"How is this possible..."Star Swirl received Bai Xiaohan's admonishing look and continued to round the words, "In terms of height and strength, he is not Mr. Han's opponent." β
"It's him, he's back!" Han Dongzhi held his head with both hands, and a look of fear appeared on his pale face.
After Mr. X and Bai Xiaohan glanced at each other, he said unhurriedly: "Mr. Han, you are safe now, don't be nervous." β
Star Swirl poured a glass of warm water and touched it in front of Han Dongzhi, "Sit down, drink some water and relax." β
Han Dongzhi's gaze swept over the faces of the three of them, and finally stopped on the smiling face of Star Swirl, and after letting out a sigh, he took the cup in her hand.
Warm water rushed into his throat, tense nerves were soothed, and Han Dongzhi began to recount what happened last night: "It was almost eleven o'clock when I got home in the evening, when my landlord suddenly came to the door, saying that I was complained by a neighbor downstairs. β
"Why are you being complained about?" Star Swirl asks.
"The strange reason is that the downstairs neighbor actually heard the sound of children running in the middle of the night, and it was the noise made during the past two nights."
"The two days that Hao Rui has been missing?" Mr. X asked.
Han Dongzhi nodded: "Aunt landlord shouldn't be open-mouthed, but I haven't heard any sound at night." I slept more deeply, and it was probably possible that I couldn't hear it. β
"Why are neighbors so sure it's the sound of a child running?" Star Swirl has doubts about this.
"It's said that the steps are relatively light, running and jumping in the house, and if it's an adult, maybe the first night downstairs will come to the door to protest." Han Dongzhi guessed.
"You gave the key to Haorui's apartment before?"
"No," Han Dongzhi replied with great certainty, "because I only have one key in my hand, and the other key should be..."
"In the hands of the landlord." Bai Xiaohan took his words and said.
Han Dongzhi's face suddenly changed, and he said with trembling lips: "Aunt Yuan shouldn't attack me... There's no motivation. β
"When were you attacked?" Mr. X continued to ask.
"When I was taking a shower in the bathroom, the water suddenly stopped in the middle and then seeped out of the shower... Bloodstain! Han Dongzhi's pupils suddenly constricted, and his face turned pale again.
