I opened my eyes suddenly, and my forehead was covered with sweat. I was often woken up by nightmares in which I was chased by a man dressed in black, and I ran desperately, and when I saw my acquaintances, it was like grasping at a straw, but they all pushed me away in disgust, and the man in black behind me slowly approached......

I calmed my breath, and it was only six o'clock on the side of my watch, but I didn't feel sleepy at all. It's winter, the sky outside is bright, looking at this house, this bed, suddenly I feel so lonely. That's right, for so long, the thing I rejected the most was this bed, every time I slept on it, I had nightmares, and it was clearer and clearer each time. I felt a little annoyed, so I simply got up and put on my coat and walked downstairs, and when I saw that every room was empty, I was suddenly stunned again. I didn't feel anything when they were there before, but now I'm "floating" alone in this huge and luxurious "home", like a ghost......

No, not ghosts, ghosts only live at night. And I, on the other hand, had to endure torture day and night.

I was stepping barefoot on the warm floor when I suddenly heard the sound of the key turning outside the door, and my heart suddenly tightened, and I unconsciously took a few steps back.

"Mr. Lin, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so ugly? "It turned out to be Aunt Liu. She was carrying a few plastic bags in her hand, she must have just returned from shopping, and she was staring straight at my bare feet, with a puzzled expression on her face.

I retracted my foot a little embarrassed and pulled down the long nightgown a little, "It's okay, maybe it was because I didn't get a good night's rest last night." ”

"You're having nightmares again? Yes! Finished drinking all the oral liquids that Dr. Sun prescribed last time? Aunt Liu's face was very surprised. Her tone and expression were always rich, which made me very unhappy at one point. I didn't want to talk to her, so I turned around and went upstairs, and she behind me didn't seem to notice my displeasure, but emphasized in a higher tone, "That's half a year's dose, and you drank it in two months?" ”

My anger finally exploded, and I rushed to say, "Yes, I'm done!" How? Do you have an opinion? ”

She was immediately silenced, muttered something in a low voice, and began to get busy. I looked at her rickety body, and I regretted the tantrum just now. In fact, Aunt Liu is also a very good person, except that the tone of her voice sometimes makes me uncomfortable. As the housekeeper of this house, she has always been conscientious and takes good care of me.

As for what she just said about the oral liquid, it's really my fault. The drawer in my room was once stuffed with those pesky brown vials, which Dr. Sun said would "calm the nerves and relieve pressure" and "regulate qi and soothe blood...... He even said something about "beauty and beauty". I stupidly believed his nonsense and drank it for two months without delay, but the nightmare not only did not get better, but I drank it all day and took a nap in class, so after Dr. Sun brought a large box of oral liquid last time, I finally couldn't bear to unscrew them all and pour them into the toilet.

It is impossible for Dr. Sun not to know why I can't sleep peacefully after nightmares, but every time he comes, he still pretends to check it out. I thought about it carefully, and it should be Dr. Sun who was angry, so my tone softened a little, "Aunt Liu, I'm going to school in a while, and I have a volunteer activity that I must participate in today." ”

"Oh." She may have been murdered by me, and lazily answered. I didn't say anything more, pursed my lips and prepared to go upstairs again, but as soon as I took two steps, she stopped me again, "That's right, classmate Lin." Mr. Xie called last night and said he might be back today. ”

I was stunned, and my right foot, which had just been raised, couldn't help but pause, "Got it, thank you." ”

This Mr. Xie is the owner of this house, and his name is Xie Chen. Honestly, I don't know how to introduce him, what his profession is, I can't tell, but he is often surrounded by two men and a woman. The two men are like his "little guys", called Dade and Xiaode respectively, and the woman should be regarded as a "military advisor", we all call her Sister Xu. They usually live here, and I don't know what they're doing all day long, and I don't dare to ask. I used to think that they were international terrorists, or an underground gangster, but after a closer look for a while, they didn't look like much, but I often saw some people coming, either fierce or angry, and of course, occasionally well-dressed businessmen. Every time a stranger came, Xie Chen would always give me a bank card and let me go out to the mall obediently. The card he gave was always unlimited consumption, and I could swipe anything I liked, but I never used it, not because I was high-spirited and had a clean breeze on my sleeves, but because I had been entangled in what my status in Xie Chen's heart was.

Girlfriend? Canary?

I'm sure it won't be the former. Because I knew very well that he didn't like me, and even hated me a little. This kind of "hate" that I don't understand always makes him do things that I think are unreasonable. He treats me badly, I hate him and am afraid of him. I'm like a golden bird in a cage, and he will occasionally open the cage and let me out for a while, but when it's over, I'll come back like an old horse.

Aunt Liu said he was coming back today.

I went back to my room like I had lost my soul, grabbed a random piece of clothing from the closet and put it on, locked myself in the bathroom, and turned on the water tap to the maximum. I washed my face over and over again with the cold tap water, but I always felt that I couldn't wash it clean. The mirror in front of me was splashed with water droplets, and when I looked up at myself in the mirror, the droplets looked like tears.

I really don't want to see myself so familiar and unfamiliar at the same time. But as soon as I close my eyes, I see the night three months ago from the infinite darkness......
