003 Younglin
Fear comes from the heart, and people will always be afraid of the unknown. Especially what the eyes can't see, they will always sketch a terrifying picture in their minds, fantasizing about the worst-case scenario and what they should do.
At this moment, many terrifying images flashed through Luo Xiao's mind, recalling many scenes he had seen in horror movies. For example, there is a stranger hiding under the bed, or a ghost is hidden, or there is simply a corpse under the bed, holding a paint bottle in his hand, etc., and fantasizing about how frightened you will be.
Thinking about it, she suddenly laughed. How to say that she is also a highly educated person, and she knows that there are no ghosts in this world, not to mention that it is broad daylight, how can any demons and monsters dare to come out.
It's better not to be cranky and scare yourself. Luo Xiao took a deep breath, then lifted the hem of the sagging sheet.
Several bottles of gouache were stacked under the bed, but one of the red bottles was overturned near the edge of the bed. Looking at the traces of paint that look like footprints next to it, this bottle of paint has probably been stepped on.
Luo Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, and finally had a reasonable explanation for the red pigment in that place. I also remembered these bottles of paint, which she put under the bed on a whim more than a month ago after painting in this bedroom.
But a new question then came, how could this bottle of paint run so close to the edge of the bed? And who the hell put his foot under the bed and stepped over the bottle of paint near the edge of the bed? Is it Zhang Hao, or herself?
Luo Xiao looked carefully at the footprints beside the bed, which were obviously very messy, as if someone's feet were covered with paint, pacing back and forth on the side of the bed.
Luo Xiao couldn't help but feel scared again, even if he got up in a daze in the morning and walked to the window to watch Zhang Hao go to work, he wouldn't have walked back and forth by the bed for so many steps, but he didn't have any impression at all, right? Could it be that someone was really watching him at his bedside last night?
Subconsciously looked around, it was still the bedroom he was most familiar with, and the only place to hide people was the wardrobe. But she had just taken a change of clothes from the closet, and if someone was hiding inside, she would never have seen it.
"In the end...... What's going on? Luo Xiao tried to think about it, hoping to find even the slightest memory of this morning, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt that her mind was in a mess, and she couldn't think of anything of value at all.
She suddenly remembered that the house was equipped with surveillance equipment, and if someone really ran in in the middle of the night, the alarm would definitely be triggered and the video information would be left. But the alarm did not go off last night, which is enough to prove that no one 'trespassed' last night.
Then this bottle of paint can only be stepped on by herself or Zhang Hao. Luo Xiao felt that even if he wanted to break his head now, he couldn't figure out what was going on, so he had to wait for Zhang Hao to come back in the evening and ask.
Quickly cleaned up the bedroom, wiped what should be wiped, changed what should be replaced, and Luo Xiao, who was busy, quickly left those messy thoughts behind.
As soon as she finished cleaning up, she heard the doorbell ringing, Luo Xiao ran to the door with her slippers, and the screen of the video doorbell showed her best friend Qi Youlin.
"Youlin, I arrived so soon, I was almost blocked in the bed by you." Seeing his best friend, Luo Xiao's strange mood when he got up this morning was suddenly swept away: "Come in quickly, I haven't had breakfast yet." ”
"Oh...... Good. On the screen, Qi Youlin's appearance seemed to be a little apprehensive, and her mood didn't seem to be very good. Luo Xiao only thought that she got up early, and her spirit was not good, so she didn't go to her heart.
The courtyard of this villa is the size of half a football field, and the garden pond and rockery pavilion in the courtyard are very exquisite. Such a villa can be called a mansion in any city.
Luo Xiao's husband Zhang Hao, the president of a listed company, is worth a lot of money and is young and promising, while Luo Xiao was born in a scholarly family and his parents are teachers.
According to the old saying, the combination between her and Zhang Hao is not a good match, and she is not favored. But modern people don't pay much attention to their origins, and their mother-in-law is also very satisfied with Luo Xiao, but no one chews the root of their tongue. On the contrary, there are many people who envy her for marrying into a wealthy family, flying on the branches and becoming a phoenix.
Of course, since she married Zhang Hao, many friends and classmates who were not too good before, have taken the initiative to get close to her. What kind of mentality those people have, Luo Xiao naturally knows very well, but this is also human nature, and it cannot be said that they are all people who tend to be inflammatory.
Luo Xiao did not draw a line with those people, but always kept a certain distance from them, neither too close nor actively alienated.
Only Qi Youlin is her real close friend, the two of them have known each other since childhood, and their primary, middle and university schools are in the same school, and their relationship is closer than that of sisters. And among all Luo Xiao's friends, probably only Qi Youlin has no other purpose for her, and Luo Xiao has always cherished this friendship.
However, Luo Xiao suddenly remembered that Qi Youlin's tone was a little strange since she called in the morning, and she didn't know if something had happened.
Soon, Qi Youlin walked through the gorgeous courtyard and came to the villa. And Luo Xiao just changed out of his nightdress, and casually found a set of home clothes to wear, anyway, he had to change it when he went shopping for a while.
"Youlin, what are you doing standing at the door? Why don't you come in? Luo Xiao asked strangely, it turned out that Qi Youlin stood at the door when she entered the door, wearing a plain white dress, she was elegant and beautiful, but she looked a little restrained. Luo Xiao said again: "Come in, I haven't eaten breakfast yet, I have to wait a while before leaving." ”
"Oh." Qi Youlin answered, then changed her slippers and followed Luo Xiao to the restaurant.
The villa is a European design with a kitchen and dining room as one, separated by a bar. Zhang Hao had already prepared the pizza and put it on the table, and the bar table was filled with washed fruit and cooked porridge. Luo Xiao lifted the lid, and the unique aroma of rice porridge came to his face.
But that seems like a bit too much, right? Luo Xiao couldn't help but feel like she couldn't cry or laugh, it was a very happy thing for her husband to make breakfast, but there was too much to do, how could she finish eating.
"Youlin, did you eat breakfast? Let's eat some together, Zhang Hao seems to have done too much, I guess he brought your share too. ”
"I've already eaten it, you can eat it." Qi Youlin still looked very restrained.
Luo Xiao couldn't help frowning: "Youlin, why have you been weird today?" ”
"I ...... I ......" Qi Youlin seemed to stop talking.
"Don't let you and yours first, come with me first, and destroy this breakfast."
