"Why did you bring her here?" The woman spoke coldly, without a trace of emotion in her voice.

The man in black was silent for a moment, then slowly raised his head, his eyes were deep, as if he could see through people's hearts. "I thought you'd be happy."

The woman frowned slightly, she seemed to be thinking about something. After a moment, she nodded, "In that case, then you don't have to stay here either."

The man in black was shocked in his heart, he looked at the woman's back, and a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes.

"Master, I know I'm making a claim this time, and I shouldn't have brought her here.

But I'm really doing it for your good. I hope you can be happy."

The woman stopped, turned to look at the man in black, "You go, I don't want to see you again."

The man in black gritted his teeth and nodded, "Master, I understand. I'll get out of here and never be in your presence again."

He turned away and walked out of the room.

The masked woman looked at his back, a hint of mixed emotions flashing in her eyes.

She knew in her heart that this man in black was no longer a simple servant, he was once the person she trusted the most.

The woman was silent for a moment, and suddenly whispered a person's name, "Shu Zhihan......

Her voice was soft and deep, as if she was missing something.

In the room after the man in black left, she repeated the name over and over again, as if she wanted to carve it into her heart.

Her eyes were full of mixed emotions, including longing, regret, and pain......

What does the name seem to represent, is it her past, or is it her future?

She stood in front of the window, looking at the sky in the distance, her heart full of endless thoughts.

The room was dimly lit, except for the flickering light of an ancient candlestick reflecting her mysterious and beautiful countenance.

She finally walked out of the room and came to the door of the room where Shu Zhihan was.

She stood in the doorway, hesitating for a moment.

Her heart was full of all kinds of complicated emotions, and she didn't know if she should go in to visit Shu Zhihan.

Eventually, she pushed open the door and walked in.

The room was dimly lit, except for a faint glow from a flickering candlestick.

The woman wearing the mask walked to the side of the bed, looked at Shu Zhihan's appearance, and felt a tingling in her heart.

She sat down silently and looked at Shu Zhihan's face. Her eyes were filled with endless thoughts and sorrows.

Shu Zhihan's eyes trembled slightly, as if she was looking for something.

"Who are you? What is this place? What about the people who came with me just now?"

Her voice was faint and trembling, as if she had woken up from a big dream.

The masked woman didn't answer, she just looked at Shu Zhihan silently, her eyes full of endless sadness and thoughts.

Shu Zhihan struggled to sit up, and she looked around, trying to find clues.

Her heart was full of doubts and uneasiness, she didn't know why she was here, and she didn't know what she should do.

"Kid, are you okay? Why are you here?"

Shu Zhihan's eyes were full of horror and helplessness, she didn't know where she was, and she didn't know what she should do.

The masked woman slowly stretched out her hand and gently stroked Shu Zhihan's head, "Child, don't be afraid. It's a safe place, and I'll protect you."

Her voice was gentle and deep, and she was inexplicably reassuring to hear.

Shu Zhihan gradually calmed down, she looked at the woman in the mask, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

The masked woman was silent for a moment, as if she was thinking about something.

"Did you come here to find something?"

The masked woman asked slowly, her voice soft and deep, as if asking for some secret.

Shu Zhihan gradually sank

Silent, she seemed to be thinking about something.

"I...... I do not know. I've just been looking for something, but I don't know what it is."

Her voice was weak and trembling, as if telling of her own confusion and helplessness.

The masked woman frowned slightly, she seemed to be thinking about something.

"Don't be afraid, I'll help you. Just tell me exactly what you're looking for, and I'll do my best to help you find it."

Her voice was gentle and firm, as if it could soothe people's hearts.

Shu Zhihan didn't know why, but she felt that the woman in front of her had an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

She seemed to be able to see through her heart and make herself feel at ease.

"You...... Will you really help me?" Shu Zhihan asked with some hesitation.

The masked woman nodded, "Of course, I'll do my best to help you."

Shu Zhihan was silent for a moment, she seemed to be thinking about something.

"I feel like you're feeling familiar, haven't we met?"

Shu Zhihan looked at the woman in front of her, and had an inexplicable feeling in her heart.

She didn't know why she thought that, but she was sure that the woman had made her feel an inexplicable sense of intimacy and trust.

The woman wearing the mask was slightly stunned, she didn't seem to expect Shu Zhihan to ask this.

But she reacted quickly, and she shook her head, "No, we haven't met. However, I can understand how you feel. Sometimes, we feel that certain people or things are familiar for some reason, and it may be because we have been exposed to similar things or people at some point in the past."

Shu Zhihan listened to her say that, but still caught the wandering of her eyes.

It was a very complex emotion, with panic, guilt, and reluctance......

Shu Zhihan didn't know why she felt a pain in her heart, she just looked at the woman in front of her silently, her heart full of endless thoughts.

The room was silent, except for the flickering candlelight reflecting the silent faces of the two men.

Eventually, the masked woman broke the silence, "Alright, it's not too early. Rest early, I'm here with you."

Her voice was gentle and deep, as if it could soothe people.

Shu Zhihan nodded silently, she looked at the woman in front of her, and felt a burst of warmth in her heart.

Hearing the woman's words, Shu Zhihan felt very down-to-earth in her heart, as if there was a warm current flowing in her heart.

She nodded and looked at the woman gratefully, "Thank you, it really feels grounded to look at you."

The woman smiled softly, "No thanks, child."

Shu Zhihan lay down in peace and closed her eyes.

The woman sat on the edge of the bed, gently covered her with the quilt, and lit a perfume.

Aromatic smoke filled the room, carrying a soothing scent.

The woman's gentle voice sounded in Shu Zhihan's ears, "Child

Son, get some rest. Tomorrow we will continue to look for what you want."

Shu Zhihan lay on the bed, smelled a fragrance, and soon fell asleep.

Her dream was pitch black, with only a faint light flickering in the distance.

She walked towards the light, and gradually saw a familiar figure.

It was the man she had been looking for, his face was blurred, but she could feel his breath and warmth.

"You're finally here."

The figure slowly turned around and smiled.

Shu Zhihan looked at him, her heart full of endless thoughts and sadness.

"I've been waiting for you."

The figure reached out and wanted to caress Shu Zhihan's cheek.

She tried hard to see the man's face, but she couldn't.

You can only see his silhouette, his smile, his warmth......

"Don't go ......"

Shu Zhihan stretched out her hand and wanted to grab him.

But the figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.

"Don't go ......"

Shu Zhihan's voice echoed in the empty darkness.

However, the figure was gone.

There was silence in the room, except for Shu Zhihan's gasps echoing in the air.

Shu Zhihan felt inexplicably scared and wanted to wake up, but she couldn't wake up.

She struggled to get out of this strange dream.

However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't wake up from her dream.

Her heartbeat echoed through the silent darkness, as if she could hear her own fear and unease.

She felt as if her body was bound by an invisible force that made her unable to move.

She tried to scream, but the voice got stuck in her throat and couldn't get out.

It was pitch black in front of her, except for the figure flickering in the distance.

She felt herself being swallowed up by the darkness, the helplessness and fear that made her almost suffocate.

Finally, she opened her eyes and saw the masked woman sitting beside the bed.

The woman's figure was a little blurry in the flickering candlelight, but she could feel the woman's presence, and the warmth and comfort.

"You're awake." The woman said softly, with a hint of concern in her voice.

Shu Zhihan looked at her and felt an inexplicable comfort in her heart. Xiushu.com

She seemed to see a glimmer of hope, a feeling she had never felt before.

"Thank you." Shu Zhihan said gratefully.

The woman smiled softly, "No thanks, kid. We all have times when things are going to happen, and it's right to help each other."

Shu Zhihan listened to her words, and felt very down-to-earth in her heart.

The woman's smile made Shu Zhihan fall into deep thought, and she wanted to know who she really was.

Shu Zhihan looked at the woman quietly, her heart full of endless curiosity and doubts.

The woman's figure was a little blurry in the candlelight, but she could feel the woman's presence, and the warmth and comfort.

She wanted to ask who the woman was, but she didn't know how to speak.

She wanted to continue to ask the woman, but she was afraid that her actions would break the peace and warmth.

The woman seemed to sense Shu Zhihan's silence and doubts, she gently stroked the back of Shu Zhihan's hand, and said softly, "Child, there are some things that you may not understand now, but you don't need to worry too much. I will always be there for you to help and support you."
