Chapter 39, Charm
I stood outside the window, quietly watching my father who was getting up in the house and turning on the light in the living room to go to the bathroom.
The night was like a curtain, faintly shrouding this courtyard where only about a hundred families lived.
Although the night was silent, there were still many windows with lights on, showing the vitality of the living, unlike the dead silence when the enchantment was shrouded before, which made people suspect that there was no living mouth in this courtyard.
Behind him, Ling Kai's voice came, "Those before were just illusions. ”
"What?" I suddenly turned my head and looked at Ling Kai, who had already healed Hua Yan's injuries.
There was still a comatose Huayan lying in his arms, but seeing that the breath it was breathing was even, I felt a little relieved.
"They didn't really kill anyone, otherwise it would have caused too much movement and would have been easily exposed," Ling Kai saw that I had been staring at the little fox in his arms, and simply reached out and handed it to me.
I took Hua Yan and digested the information he conveyed before asking, "Who is behind the scenes?" I seem to have heard someone say that they want to kill me, and then someone said that a spirit girl is born once in a thousand years, what does that mean? ”
Hearing the word "Spirit Girl", Ling Kai's body was shocked, and he looked at me with a very complicated expression.
I was a little hairy at him, and I frowned and glared back.
Ling Kai lowered his eyes slightly, his thin eyelashes trembled like butterfly wings for a moment before he raised his eyes and asked me, "Do you need to go in to say goodbye?" ”
I was stunned for a moment, and I realized that he was asking me if I needed to say goodbye to my father, and an unspeakable emotion welled up in my heart.
Although what happened before was an illusion, the scene of meeting my mother again brought out my deep hatred for my father, although my mother's death had nothing to do with him, but my mother died only two years before he hurriedly married another woman, and recognized her son as the descendant of the Yun family, obviously in his heart, my mother and I are insignificant.
Why, then, should I pity his old age and infirmity, or lament that his blood is thicker than water?
So, I shook my head and said, "No, let's go back to Southtown." ”
Ling Kai didn't say much, turned around and walked towards the outside of the courtyard.
I hugged Huayan behind me, and when I saw him passing through the grass in the middle, I picked up my suitcase by the way, and a warm feeling surged in my heart inexplicably.
Women love heroes, and I'm also a layman, so I can't avoid it.
It's just that although he is very powerful, he is not a normal man, even if I admire his ability very much, I will always be wary that I can't pay attention to this man, because he does not belong to this world, let alone me, a mortal.
Heroes can only be appreciated but not owned, and I think I'm a sane woman.
Ling Kai's car was parked outside the courtyard, although the security guard was awakened by me, opened the door with a worried look, and did not forget to look at me and Ling Kai with puzzled eyes, including the little fox in my arms, but after all, he didn't ask anything.
After getting in the car, I felt a strong sense of tiredness, really tired, and it was exhaustion from my own heart.
Soon after the drive, I fell into the back seat and fell into a deep sleep, but even when I fell asleep, I didn't forget to hug Hua Yan tightly. Moreover, the white fur around her body was as soft as satin, and holding her to her chest was like holding a stove, which made me refuse to let go even more.
I woke up again, but not in the car, but in my own room.
I opened my eyes and stared at the sunlight shining through the window, only to feel that the winter sun was really warm and amiable.
Thinking back to everything that happened before, I suddenly felt that life was short, and I was the happiest when I was alive. After that, it suddenly occurred to me that we should not return to Nancheng in Ling Kai's car? Even if his car is good and fast, it will take at least a day and a night to return, right? Why did I just go home?
Hurriedly turning over and sitting up, I picked up my phone on the bedside table and looked at the time.
It was more than eleven o'clock at noon on the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, that is to say, it only took Ling Kai less than ten hours to return to Nancheng from my hometown? How did he do it?
The door was suddenly pushed open, and Hua Yan, who had already turned into a human form, explained my doubts while eating potato chips, "Don't be so surprised, but I used a spell to shrink the ground into inches, and I will too, if I wasn't injured and unconscious, I could also take you back directly." ”
I stared at her for a moment, and then asked angrily, "Then why didn't you just take me back before you went back?" ”
Hua Yan was stunned for a moment, stuck out her tongue and chuckled, "What's the point of that?" I just want to try your mortal life, otherwise how to adapt to Hongchen, how to follow the local customs, isn't it? ”
"You still have a bit of culture, and you can still use idioms," I sighed, and when I turned over and got up, I remembered something, looked down and saw that I had changed into the pajamas at home, and quickly looked up and asked her, "Who helped me change my clothes?" ”
"Of course it's me, or who do you want it to be?"
I was a little settled, but I was a little stunned.
However, I quickly adjusted my mind and warned myself not to be cranky, and that everything that went home was a nightmare, and the heroes in the dreams were all illusory and ethereal, so there was no need to think about it.
In order to celebrate the aftermath of the disaster, I specially brought Hua Yan to a famous Japanese restaurant for lunch.
The New Year is approaching, there are many guests, and when we are waiting for a position on the sofa at the door, I accidentally meet an acquaintance.
Li Hongxun, still wearing a bright red coat, is tall, with long curly hair draped over her shoulders, indescribably charming and moving, bewitching and bewitching.
I didn't want to talk to her, so I deliberately didn't see her come in.
And she walked up to me, and with a picture of unexpected joy at reunion, asked, "So coincidentally?" I've already booked a table, so why don't we eat together? ”
I raised my head, and when I wanted to refuse her helplessly, I listened to Hua Yan next to me rush to refuse, "Don't be so kind, I'm not interested in having lunch with a ghost." ”
Stunned by Hua Yan's counterattack, the smile on Li Hongxun's face quickly froze, but it only recovered instantly, shrugged and walked past us, and quickly blended into the chaotic flow of people.
Watching her figure leave, I asked in surprise, "What did you just say?" What charm? ”
"Don't you know her identity?" Hua Yan was stunned by my question and asked rhetorically.
I shook my head and said I didn't know, but I have always been very wary of Li Hongxun, the night of the company's cocktail party, it was obvious that she secretly pinned the silk flower on my shoulder to make me win the lottery, I don't know what her purpose was, but I only felt ill-intentioned.
It just so happened that our position was arranged at this time, and Hua Yan did not continue the topic.
After we sat down in the corner and finished ordering, Hua Yan explained to me the meaning of "charm".
Charm is a product of heaven and earth, not human, not ghost, not demon, is a special creature. Usually this creature is between spirits and entities, not like ghosts who are afraid of sunlight, magic weapons, etc., they are the same as normal people, and they also have some abilities of different kinds. However, once their wish is fulfilled, they will be wiped out, and they will never be reincarnated, and their lives will come to an end, never to be continued.
