Chapter 59: The Calm Before the Storm
There was a thick fog all around, and there was no sound in sight, and there was a dead silence.
From time to time, a cold wind blows, like a sharp blade, cutting through the tiniest gap between your clothes and hats, making you feel a kind of boning cold.
Xiaobei leaned against the wall and couldn't stop shivering.
Suddenly, a voice came from my ear: "Xiaobei..."
Like a drowning person grasping at a life-saving straw, she slammed up from the ground and pricked up her ears to hear where the sound was coming from.
The voice echoed in the mist, and a gentle, gentle call reminded her of Yan's warm chest.
"Yan, where are you?" She staggered, clinging to everything around her to get out of the wall that had shielded her from most of the cold wind.
She suddenly felt very thirsty, her whole body was weak, her consciousness began to be a little blurred, and the voices she heard in her ears became weaker and weaker.
She stubbornly exerted her strength and tried her best, but it was in vain, and she still fell to the ground softly.
The wall behind her, which had been hiding her for a long time, had been covered by a thick fog and vanished.
She clasped her hands on the ground and slowly moved forward, moving into the fog.
She seemed to see a shadow that she had been thinking about day and night, and she squirmed forward with all her might, but between her and the shadow was an invisible abyss!
At last... She fell.
...
Xiaobei woke up suddenly in her dream, and she subconsciously began to recall this nightmare, looking for traces of his real existence in this world.
But it was only a few seconds of effort, and the dream that had just woken her up had been forgotten by her.
She didn't have the emotions of discouragement, loss, or boredom, and there was only endless indifference and dead silence under her.
There was a quilt half-pulled on her body, which she instinctively felt the cold pull on in her sleep.
She deliberately kicked the quilt far away, and lay quietly on the bed, looking at the moon outside the window, waiting for another round of nightmares to come.
No, it's supposed to be a sweet dream...
Lu Yan put on "reason", and quietly watched this woman practice herself, she was really strange, always pretending to be smart when she should be stupid, and being stupid when she needed to be smart.
As the moon was obscured by dark clouds, the room became dark again, and Lu Yan was only half-joking about how he used to huddle in the shadows, and she fell in love with the darkness.
It's three o'clock in the morning, but the doorbell is awakened, and Xiaobei, who has just woken up, is "clicking" on the smooth floor with his bare feet.
She first turned on the light, and through the cat's eye, a group of strange women were outside the door.
The light was seen by the people outside the door through the crack in the door, and one of the older women spoke: "Ms. Xiaobei, we have accepted the employment to take care of your daily life these days, please open the door." β
Xiaobei was a little dizzy at the moment, she didn't understand what was going on, she instinctively refused: "I don't know you, and I haven't found anyone to take care of my daily life." β
Who knew that the woman actually took out a key and opened the door, Xiaobei looked at these "aunts" with their backs on their backs, and was instantly stunned.
"The employer said that if you refuse, allow us to take coercive measures." The woman smiled, and then said, "By the way, you can call me Lady Mary, and you can call me at any time if you need anything." β
Mary couldn't help but hold Xiaobei's hand with her companion, and lifted her whole body like she was grabbing a little chick.
Mary looked at Xiaobei's face and felt a little wrong, so she reached out and touched Xiaobei's forehead.
"She's got a fever." Mary ignored Kita's resistance and said to her companion behind her.
Xiaobei realized the current situation, she calmed down her breath and said, "Let me down, I will definitely cooperate with you." β
The companion who held Xiaobei's hand with Mary exchanged a look with Mary, and both of them let go of their hands.
"I'd like to ask who asked you to come." The strength of these guys was a bit strong, and she felt uncomfortable at the moment where she was being caught.
Mary smiled and said, "The employer said, it's the person you imagined." β
"When did he find you, can you tell me?" Xiaobei's eyes lit up, and then begged.
"A week ago." Mary's reply shattered the little hope in Xiaobei's heart, which made her speechless.
He had everything ready, and this departure was a well-planned one.
Taking a deep breath, Xiaobei said, "Come on, I will cooperate with you." β
Mary shrugged helplessly and said, "Miss, don't be so nervous, our purpose is to ensure that you can eat well, sleep well, and be in good condition during these four days, and meet all your requirements within the scope of our ability." β
"And what are you going to do next?"
"I'll help you with your fever first." Mary expressed satisfaction with her cooperation.

Lu Yan looked at Xiaobei who cooperated and smiled distressedly.
Miss Mary was specially rented by him to take care of Xiaobei's life in the past few days, and their ability Lu Yan saw that taking care of Xiaobei was much better than him.
