Chapter 122: Silence
At night, in front of the bookcase with a lamp on, Ye Luan frowned deeply. He was thinking about whether he wanted to continue on the creative path, "knock, knock, knock" his fingers tapping on the table.
What Zhang Yunxi said today touched him a lot, and the thoughts that had been dispelled reappeared in his heart.
He walked to the door of Wanwan's room, and saw through the gap the back of the man lying on the bed. Already asleep so early? Looks like she's been really tired lately.
Ye Luan's gaze fell on the hanger, and an off-white coat he had never seen hung on it.
After rubbing his fingers on it for a moment, Ye Luan doubted, "This fabric ...... It turned out to be cashmere. He opened the collar and found that the tag of the coat was still there, with a price tag of 5,900 yuan.
When did Wanwan's consumption become so high? The doubts in Ye Luan's heart deepened, and he picked up the burgundy backpack on the cabinet and unchained it.
In addition to some cosmetics and daily necessities, it is Wanwan's wallet. Ye Luan opened his wallet and found a black card clipped inside, which read "Venus Hotel" No. 610.
Ye Luan was stunned, this is undoubtedly a hotel room card. He stuffed the card back into his bag.
"You...... Aren't you going to ask me? Wanwan was leaning against the doorframe and looking at him, the expression on her face was uncertain.
"Ask, ask what?" Ye Luan avoided Wanwan's gaze and asked, "Didn't you sleep......
"Do you really, don't you want to ask anything?" Wanwan asked again, tears falling like beads with broken threads, "Or, ......what do you already know?"
Ye Luan turned off the lamp: "I have to go to work tomorrow, so I'll go to rest first." ”
Wanwan didn't say anything more, stood where she was for a long time, saw Ye Luan go back to her room and closed the door, and sighed softly: "Alas......"
Ye Luan lay on the bed without sleep, he tried his best to think about himself in his head, but he was still exploited by a small voice: "There is a ...... again." There are ...... again"
Ye Luan suddenly felt that the temperature in the house had dropped by a few degrees, could it be that the floor heating had stopped? He wrapped the quilt tightly, and suddenly heard footsteps at the door, and the door was opened with a "squeak", Ye Luan asked, "What's wrong, Wanwan?" ”
Wanwan didn't answer, silently took a few steps closer, and paused. There was a rustling sound in the room, and Ye Luan felt Wanwan get into his bed from the other end, and asked with some surprise, "You...... Do you want to sleep with me? ”
Wanwan still didn't answer, Ye Luan felt a slight cool touch, he lifted the quilt and looked inside, a face as black as charcoal was facing him, smiling weirdly, and it seemed that he was wearing a blood-stained dress.
"Ah——!!h Ye Luan screamed and shook off the quilt, and sat down on the ground and curled up. He could smell the smell of blood coming from the futon.
"What's wrong?" Wanwan turned on the lights in the room, and when she saw Ye Luan trembling in the corner, her eyes couldn't help but show a little pity. She walked up to Ye Luan, gently held his hand and said, "Did you have a nightmare?" ”
"Again...... ...... appeared again" Ye Luan's eyes were scattered, his face was terrifyingly pale, and he kept repeating this sentence.
Wanwan took his hand and sat on the bed, and coaxed softly: "Don't be afraid, I will accompany you." ”
The dim light shone on her soft features, Ye Luan stretched out her hand to wrap her arms around Wanwan's slender waist, and her heart gradually calmed down. However, until the girl next to her fell asleep, Ye Luan still kept her eyes open, staring intently at the red mark on Wanwan's neck.
Ye Luan, who had not slept all night, got up in the morning, looked at Wanwan's quiet sleeping face, and helped her tuck the corners of her back. He went to the kitchen, dumped the leftover noodles from yesterday into the trash, and boiled the pot again.
Preparing breakfast for Wanwan, Ye Luan went out. This is his second official day at work, although he has two dark circles under his eyes, it does not hinder his beauty, but adds a sickly beauty.
"Morning." As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Yunxi greeted him, his eyes rolled on Ye Luan's face and asked, "Didn't you rest well?" ”
Ye Luan smiled: "In order to write, I often stay up late, and I am used to it." ”
Zhang Yunxi brewed a cup of coffee and handed it to him: "You are really an ideal person." ”
Ye Luan thanked him, and at this time he saw a good-looking woman come out of the editor-in-chief's office, and his eyes kept following the person.
Zhang Yunxi also followed his gaze and said, "What, is she your dish?" ”
Ye Luan shook his head: "I've been to the magazine several times, but I've never seen this person." ”
"She is Guan Yulan, a well-known writer of our magazine......" Zhang Yunxi was picked up by Ye Luan as soon as he said half of his words, "Is that Guan Yulan who often publishes some unsolved cases in K City?" ”
Seeing that his eyes lit up, Zhang Yunxi pursed his lips: "There are indeed two brushes for writing, but she is so famous, not because the editor-in-chief praises her." ”
At this time, the two saw the editor-in-chief poking his head out of the office and immediately stopped talking.
"Xiaoye, come on."
Ye Luan walked into the editor-in-chief's office and asked, "Are you looking for me?" ”
The editor-in-chief replied: "That's right, I mentioned you with the editor in charge of Xingrui Group, and she was very interested. ”
"Xingrui? Is that the star who published the last few bestsellers? Ye Luan became emotional.
The editor-in-chief put a black card on the table: "She wants to talk to you specifically, you can go over in the afternoon." ”
Ye Luan picked up the card and looked at it in turn, and there was a line of gilded small characters printed on it: "Venus Hotel No. 610". A thunderbolt exploded in Ye Luan's mind, and this card was exactly the same as the one in Wanwan's wallet!
"Go ahead." The editor-in-chief waved his hand at Ye Luan.
The corners of Ye Luan's mouth twitched, and in the end she couldn't ask anything, and walked out of the office with her head drooping, but the red marks on Wanwan's neck and the valuable cashmere coat kept appearing in her mind.
Zhang Yunxi came up curiously when he saw Ye Luan come out, his eyes fell on the card in his hand, and he was surprised: "The editor-in-chief actually gave you this?" ”
Ye Luan was pulled back to reality by her words and asked, "What's wrong?" It's just a hotel keycard. ”
Zhang Yunxi looked strange, and said in a low voice: "The 'Venus Hotel' is actually the place where he and his lover met secretly, and he gave you this, could it be ......"
Ye Luan was suddenly stunned, although he had always been aware of Wanwan's recent abnormal behavior, Zhang Yunxi's words confirmed the relationship between Wanwan and the editor-in-chief. However, was Xingrui's editor asking him to meet there by accident or deliberately?
Ye Luan's mind was a mess, and the fingers holding the card were slightly white. Who is Wanwan? It is his muse, the pure and unbeatable woman of his heart, and no one can defile her.
