Natsu woke up.

Another nightmare, to torment her again!

She was covered in cold sweat and wanted to lift the quilt and get out of bed to get a glass of water. But she didn't dare to leave the bed, at least the warmth made her feel safe. The fluorescent watch on the bedside table showed that the time was 2:40, and the faint light of the watch hand, coupled with the ticking sound, made people feel as if something was approaching the bed.

This made Xiao Xia bury herself deeper in the quilt, and finally the whole person shrank in, and she couldn't hear anything except her own heartbeat.

She shouldn't have rented this small house facing the shade for the sake of cheapness, and the sun couldn't even shine. It wasn't much before, but after taking on this case recently, she couldn't sleep peacefully. Maybe she should get married or find a boyfriend to live with so she doesn't have to be so scared. It was a nightmare, but the real feeling was not something a timid person like her could bear.

Or just thousands of miles, right? But they were all too familiar, and it was embarrassing to get goosebumps to think about lying in the same bed with such a person. No, no, no, you have to change someone. Or - Ruan Zhan?

Ruan Zhan's name startled Xiao Xia, even more than the scare of the nightmare.

Why do you think of him? She had only met this person a few hours earlier, and she wasn't very impressed. Is it because I have only seen it, so I have residual consciousness? It must be so!

But can he really be psychic?

Wanli wouldn't lie to her, but she really didn't realize that he had this ability. Her instincts had always been accurate, and there was no reason to be wrong this time. But what if it's wrong? What if he can actually be psychic? Then he won't be able to help her!

Why didn't they say a word to him when they found it!

I'm always like this, and I always give up halfway. If you talk to Ruan Zhan, he can help her if he can be psychic, and he can't and won't let her lose anything, it's better than having nowhere to turn after a nightmare.

She really has no choice, she has already done it by burning incense and worshiping the Buddha, but the Buddha must be very busy, so he can't take care of her. She had to think of something else, otherwise she would have a nervous breakdown, and she would probably hang up before the case was closed or the director came back and changed hands.

Otherwise, let's look for Wanli tomorrow to see if it's a psychological problem. If it doesn't work, try it again with Ruan Zhan. It's not very reliable, but it's better to use a dead horse as a live horse doctor!

The next day, Xiao Xia didn't find Wanli. This even made her think he was avoiding her, but then remembered that every Tuesday was the day when Wanli fulfilled his duty as a guest professor. So she had to work on stilts and went to the 'Night Homecoming' bar by herself.

It was only two o'clock in the afternoon when she arrived, and she saw Ruan Zhan opening the door of the store from a distance. His skin was a healthy wheat color, and not at all sickly pale of a nocturnal animal.

"Can I go in now?" Xiao Xia asked while standing three meters away from Ruan Zhan.

"I'm just open, it's not officially open yet—but—okay." Ruan Zhan made a gesture of invitation, frowning almost invisibly. He recognized the woman as a guest who had come last night, but why didn't she say a word to him yesterday and come so early today? Let's hope she's not here to pester him or get into trouble.

Natsu walks into the bar, and the store is empty because there is no one. And because the glass in this store is all that kind of art glass, the afternoon sun can't hit it at all, and the whole space is dark and gloomy, and there is a huge gossip-shaped decoration made of transparent tubes on the facing wall. She didn't see that last night, probably because of the lights, but now it's pitch black and she can see it clearly.

Ruan Zhan followed up for a long time, but Xiao Xia didn't feel nervous and hairy when she stayed alone in a closed open space as usual, which made her feel that maybe her judgment yesterday was too hasty, and this man was a bit of a doorway.

"Where's your buddy?"

"They're work-study college students, and if you look for them, it's after four o'clock in the afternoon."

"No, I'm not looking for them. But it seems that you only close the door in the middle of the night, will this affect their studies-" Xiao Xia suddenly stopped, "I'm sorry, it's a professional habit for me to ask, it's really annoying!" She saw that Ruan Zhan had already walked to the bar, and also went there to find a seat to sit down, "My surname is Yue, Yue Xiaoxia, a lawyer from Changkong Law Firm." ”

Ruan Zhan was stunned for a moment. "I'm not in trouble, am I?"

"No, no, it's not like that." Xiao Xia hurriedly shook her head, "That's just my profession, and my coming today has nothing to do with my profession." I'm - I'm - I'm looking for you, something. May I? ”

"Absolutely. But what do you want to drink first, Miss Yue? ”

"What do you usually drink at this time?"

"It's a little earlier to drink now, and most people drink coffee."

"I don't like coffee, bitter! Give me soda, orange-flavored, or mineral water. ”

Ruan Zhan didn't speak, only smiled, and then handed her a glass of orange soda. This woman, with the taste of a child, is easy to deal with.

"What are you looking for me?" He asked.

"That—you know that, right? He said you're good friends, so— that's why he called me to come to you. Xiao Xia was hesitant, and he was too embarrassed to make a request to a stranger. It's all strange that Wanli refused to accompany her, so that she had to face these embarrassments alone, and now she had to just say it. "I'm in trouble, and he said you have the 'ability' to help me."

Ruan Zhan knew that something was wrong when he heard Wanli's name, and he was in big trouble!

Wanli has been with his friends for many years, and he is the only person in the world who knows his secrets, but he has never divulged anything about him. But this time, even though Wanli knew better than anyone how much he didn't like to mention his 'powers' and even less like to use them, why should he send someone to ask for his help? Who is this female lawyer named Yue Xiaoxia who can make him betray his oath? Or is there something that can't be solved in her? What does this have to do with the weak yang fire in her body?

"I'm very happy to be able to help Miss Yue, but I'm afraid I'm powerless." Ruan Zhan had countless thoughts in his heart, but there was still a harmless look on his face, "Why don't you talk about the trouble first, and see if I can help me." ”

Xiao Xia hesitated for a moment, and then told Ruan Zhan about the inexplicable nightmares, strange hallucinations, and feelings that had occurred since he took over this case. She looked at his face, expecting a hint of information, but he was expressionless, his eyes were like a deep black pool, as if anything you threw into it would disappear without leaving a trace.

"Am I in trouble?" She asked.

"Hit the devil?" Ruan Zhan smiled in disbelief, "Miss Yue is a lawyer, she should be very calm and logical, she won't believe these nonsense, right?" In my opinion, it may be too stressful, and I have accepted some passive psychological cues. I'm not a professional psychiatrist like Wanli, but I think you better not think too much, stay away from it, and relax. ”

"If only I could, but unfortunately I can't let go now."

"So—I'm afraid there's nothing I can do." Ruan Zhan said in a regretful tone, "You are Wanli's friend, that is, my friend, I really hope you can do something, but unfortunately I really can't." ”

"You don't want to help me!" Xiao Xia rushed out.

"No, no, I'd love to, I wish I could! But--I don't know what Wanli said to you, probably he's exaggerating. I usually just read some books about feng shui, Zhou Yi or something, pure hobby, no special ability at all, don't listen to his nonsense. ”

"Can't you really help?"

"I'm sorry."

"Please help me!" Natsu pleaded. In fact, with her impatient temper, she should have turned around and left a long time ago. What's more, the more she talked to him, the more she intuitively felt that what Wanli said was not wrong, he must have a way, but he just refused to help. She shouldn't have said a word more to this kind of unloving person, but the so-called 'situation is stronger than cong', she has to keep her voice down.

"I'm sorry."

Seeing that he was still pretending to be innocent, Xiao Xia knew that it was useless to say anything.

"Well, when I didn't come. Good bye. She walked out angrily, deliberately not giving Ruan Zhan soda money. I thought that I would have known that drinking one of his most expensive bottles of wine would make up for the mental loss and material damage. This kind of person doesn't let him go with blood, and it's really unwilling to think about it.

Ruan Zhan watched Xiao Xia leave, without any guilt in his heart. This young lady has provoked the evil, and it is her luck to break it or not, what does it have to do with him? His first rule in life is to never care about anyone's idle business, just be quiet and alone.

As for Wanli, the bastard who betrayed his friends, he didn't care. I'm sure he'll come to the door himself to explain.
