Chapter Twenty-Six: Why He Found It
The moment her body was in the air, Mo Qiuci's consciousness recovered most of it, and she could clearly feel that she was being held in someone's arms, and the person was even breathing unevenly, panting carefully.
Although her consciousness was not very clear, her eyes could barely be opened, so she slowly opened them and looked at the man.
In the hazy vision, she saw Lu Mian.
There was no moon tonight, there were no street lights on either side of the street, and she didn't wear glasses herself, but Lu Mian's face appeared clearly in front of her.
"You ......" she frowned, looking at him suspiciously, not understanding why he was here.
Hearing the person in his arms speak, Lu Mian hurriedly looked down at her.
Mo Qiuci's consciousness was not very clear at this time, her eyes were half-open, and she looked tired.
Lu Mian glanced at her, he didn't ask anything, and continued to walk forward while holding her, while saying, "Sleep, I'll take you back." ”
When he was away, Mo Qiuci didn't know what Lu Mian had met, but when he saw her curled up and squatting in the corner, he suddenly felt that he had done something wrong.
Mo Qiuci is just a little girl, inexplicably came to a world that does not belong to her, here she is a completely strange existence, she knows no one and no one is familiar with anyone, and there is not even a person who tells her grievances, you can imagine how scared she is.
Under such circumstances, Lu Mian, as a person who knew all this, directly left her and left her alone to face those sudden things.
Fortunately, Mo Qiuci finally found it, if he didn't find her today, then he would never be able to forgive himself.
Mo Qiuci didn't really want to sleep, she was just a little tired and wanted to rest, but when she heard Lu Mian's words, her eyelids suddenly became very heavy, and then the next second, she fell asleep again.
Feeling the head pillowed on his shoulder leaning inward, Lu Mian looked down at Mo Qiuci.
She was still talking one second, but she fell asleep the next, how tired she must be!
Lu Mian didn't think about it anymore, he retracted his gaze, raised his head again, and continued to walk forward in silence.
There was no moon tonight, and the stars hung all over the sky, if it was usual, Lu Mian would look up at those stars at this time, but today he was not so interested in it at all.
Lingxianglou was not very far from the snack street, but when Lu Mian went back with Mo Qiuci in his arms, there were no more guests downstairs.
Yan Yanshan was still lying on the edge of the counter at this time, and it was the middle of the night when she began to absorb the popularity, and she was there to inhale the popularity left by the customers during the day.
When Lu Mian came in, she was sucking that last bite into her stomach.
After the qi poured down the esophagus into her stomach, it was absorbed by her body, and then turned into essence and dispersed in every part of her, and finally turned into spiritual power for the survival of the youkai. Whenever her body was full of spiritual power, Yan Yanshan would feel relaxed and comfortable, and she stretched out her hands to stretch her lower limbs like those bad monsters who sucked human spirit.
As she put her arms above her head, she caught a glimpse of a figure walking through the door, and her eyes widened as she looked at the man.
At this glance, I realized that there was not only one person who came in, but also one in the arms.
Since Mo Qiuci was curled up in Lu Mian's arms, Yan Yanshan didn't see who she was clearly, she moved her gaze directly up, and after seeing that the person was Lu Mian, she suddenly looked down at him again.
Originally, she thought that it was only the people who came in to stay in the hotel, so she didn't pay much attention, but now that she saw it, she felt the familiar aura on Mo Qiuci's body.
"Miss Wen, what's wrong?" Yan Qishan put away her nonchalant look, stared at Lu Mian and asked nervously.
If it were someone else, she wouldn't care so much at all, but the person who was held in Lu Mian's arms at this time was Mo Qiuci, and she was far different from others.
Jackdaw made a point of explaining to her when she left today, asking her to take good care of her and not let her be in the slightest danger in her sight. Although the person in front of him doesn't seem to hurt Mo Qiuci, they humans have a good saying, men and women don't kiss, and it's absolutely inappropriate for Lu Mian to hold Mo Qiuci like this.
We need to get them apart as soon as possible!
Yan Yanshan stared at Mo Qiuci in Lu Mian's arms seriously for a while, and found that she seemed to be asleep, so she looked at Lu Mian again and asked, "Master Lu, what's wrong with Miss Wen?"
When she asked before, Lu Mian didn't answer her, and he didn't want to answer her at all, but he thought about it, after all, he had something to ask, so he felt that it was better to answer politely.
Yan Yanshan's gaze fell tightly on Lu Mian's face, Lu Mian was very uncomfortable stared at by her, but he didn't show any annoyance, he looked at her and replied, "Asleep." ”
Forehead...... This answer is really simple and crude!
Yan Yanshan was stunned when she heard this, although she could see that Lu Mian didn't want to talk to herself, but she felt that since she had already asked that question, and it was two times, he would definitely answer the last sentence no matter what he said.
At that time, I didn't know what I thought, Yan Yanshan actually thought that Lu Mian would answer well, who would have thought that when he spoke, he said this.
A clueless sentence can't be regarded as an answer, but Yan Yanshan knew that if she asked this question again, Lu Mian would definitely not answer her again, so she changed the topic, looked at Lu Mian and asked, "I wonder why Lu Gongzi is with Miss Wen?"
Obviously, when Mo Qiuci went out, Lu Mian was still sitting there eating, and after he finished eating, Mo Qiuci had been out for a long time, Youluyuan was so big, and there were so many streets, it stands to reason that the two of them should not meet, but they came back together.
When they came back together, they didn't say anything, and Mo Qiuci was still being held by Lu Mian, so Yan Qishan was even more curious about the two of them.
Lu Mian was already very polite to be able to answer the first question she asked, and now he just wanted to send Mo Qiuci back to her room and let her rest well, so he didn't answer her again: "Boss Yan, where is Ah Yan's room?"
"Huh?" Yan Yanshan was still there waiting for his answer, and when she heard him ask herself, she didn't react to what he meant, and after she glanced at Mo Qiuci in his arms, she immediately reacted, "Second floor." Lu Gongzi, come with me. ”
After speaking, she hurriedly walked out of the counter, walked in front of Lu Mian, and led him to Mo Qiuci's room.
After putting Mo Qiuci on the bed smoothly, Lu Mian didn't go out directly, he stood there and stared at Mo Qiuci for a while, and then sat on the edge of her bed and stopped for a long time.
Mo Qiuci was completely asleep at this time, her breathing was steady, but for some reason, her brows were furrowed.
Lu Mian looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but raise her hand to smooth her brows, but after a while, she wrinkled again.
"Ah Yan, did you dream of something bad?" he brought the hair that Mo Qiuci had stained on his face back to his ear, looked at her and asked softly.
Later, Lu Mian tried many times, but Mo Qiuci's brows were still furrowed, and he no longer asked her what was wrong, but asked about himself.
He began to reflect on whether what he had done was wrong in the first place.
Lu Mian felt that he shouldn't bring Mo Qiuci to this world, but he thought that if he didn't bring her, that person would definitely not give up, so even if he didn't do this, that person would do it, in the end, Mo Qiuci still couldn't escape the fate of coming here.
Regarding this matter, he couldn't decide, and there was nothing he could do, but he could have actually done something not according to what the man said, he could have told Mo Qiuci what was going on, told her the truth about all this, and then sent her back.
It's just that......
He didn't have that ability, he couldn't do that, he couldn't even tell Mo Qiuci the truth about all this, because if she knew, she would definitely not be able to live.
But Lu Mian didn't want to lie to her anymore.
The man had told him before that if he had been so soft-hearted, he would not have achieved great things. At that time, he didn't think so, and he never thought about achieving anything big, let alone feeling how soft-hearted he was.
Now that he finally agreed with what the man said, he knew why he said it, because it was exactly what he said, and he was really soft-hearted.
But a soft-hearted heart is a soft-heartedness, and he doesn't want to continue to stay by Mo Qiuci's side with such a restless conscience.
Lu Mian stared at Mo Qiuci for a long time, and when he looked at it, he frowned.
He had a lot of things in his heart that he wanted to say to Mo Qiuci, but he didn't speak, and in the end, he just sighed helplessly, and then got up and left Mo Qiuci's room.
He'd have to figure out a way.
After Yan Yanshan took Lu Mian to the door of Mo Qiuci's room, she didn't leave directly, but she didn't stand outside the door, but took a few steps forward and stood near the staircase.
She was standing in a place that was quite conspicuous, and when Lu Mian came out, he saw her at a glance.
"Isn't Boss Yan resting yet?" Although he didn't want to talk to her, Lu Mian still asked.
Yan Yanshan waited there on purpose, otherwise she would have gone downstairs a long time ago.
Lu Mian knew that she had something to say to him, but he didn't mean to hear it at all.
However, before he could say anything, Yan Yanshan hooked the corners of her lips, looked at him with a smile on her face, and said, "Lu Gongzi doesn't know, our Lingxianglou won't close at night, and someone will come to change shifts in a while." ”
She was answering the question he had just asked.
Lu Mian noticed that after she answered, her face was full of unfinished words, so she hurriedly said "um", and said to her again: "Since that's the case, then I'll go back to the room first." ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for Yan Qishan to say anything, he turned around and went upstairs directly.
He spoke quickly and moved quickly, and before he could say anything, he saw that his figure had disappeared around the corner of the stairs.
It wasn't until his back completely disappeared that Yan Yanshan withdrew her gaze from him.
She didn't know what to say to express her mood at this moment, and if she had to say the last sentence, it would be a swear word.
As a monster who eats in the human world with her usual image, it is impossible for Yan Yanshan to do anything to destroy her image, even if there is no one else here at this time except for her, it is impossible for her to say what she wants to say.
She stood there for a while, during which she turned her head to look at Mo Qiuci's closed door, and then cast a spell to check the situation inside, and saw that Mo Qiuci was sleeping quietly on the bed at this time, so she relieved herself and turned around and went downstairs.
The jackdaw left shortly after Lu Mian left Lingxiang Tower, and this time he left on his own and was not found by those people. Before leaving, he told Yan Shan that he would come back, but Yan Shan felt that he was afraid that he would not come back in a short time.
Time can change a lot of things, and in just one day, the relationship between Mo Qiuci and Lu Mian has changed a lot.
At first, she could see that Mo Qiuci didn't like Lu Mian very much, and might even hate it a little, but after such a day's work, if she didn't hate it, she could still sleep in Lu Mian's arms with peace of mind!
She didn't dare to think about what would happen if the two of them kept together like they did today, but she was already worried about Jackdaw.
When Mo Qiuci woke up, it was not yet dawn, she was lying flat on the bed, opening her eyes and staring at the roof.
She still remembered how she came back last night, and she remembered who brought her back, but she couldn't understand why Lu Mian appeared in front of her at that time, and how he found her.
At that time, she had just come out of that demon street, and she was staying in a very dark corner, it stands to reason that if she hadn't moved by herself, no one would have discovered her existence, but Lu Mian later appeared in front of her.
Speaking of which, when she came out of Lingxiang Building, Lu Mian was still eating, it stands to reason that he shouldn't know where she went, besides, there are so many streets in Youlu Garden, some of them are still intertwined, it is easy to walk to another street and get lost.
Judging from this situation, it is impossible for them to meet together, but why did Lu Mian find her?
Now no one can answer her question, and the only person who can solve her doubts is Lu Mian, so Mo Qiuci didn't waste any more time thinking about it.
She raised her hand and rubbed her sleepy eyes, then turned around and changed positions, intending to sleep a little longer.
It looked like it was still early anyway, and she should be able to sleep for a few hours if she wanted to. But just as she was about to close her eyes and sleep, something not far away instantly caught her attention.
At this time, there was still no moon, but there was a glowing bead in the room that emitted a faint light, Mo Qiuci looked at it, and the thing was placed not far from the bed, so she took advantage of the light and squinted her eyes to look at the thing.
In the case of blurred vision, Mo Qiuci looked at it for a long time before he vaguely saw an outline.
If I'm not mistaken, the lump looked like a few paper packets, and it looked familiar.
There are not many things that can make her feel familiar, Mo Qiuci frowned and thought for a while, and after a while, he suddenly came back to his senses, and his eyes widened in shock.
She remembered what that mass was.
After going out yesterday, she went to the snack street, ate noodles and xiaolongbao on the street, and finally packed the unfinished xiaolongbao and took it away. Later she remembers wandering the streets again and then buying some mints and preserves.
She couldn't have imagined that the lump was the one she had packed on the snack street yesterday.
Mo Qiuci's sleepiness disappeared in an instant, and she stared at the mass not far away for a long time, and her thoughts slowly drifted back to yesterday.
Because what happened was so weird, when she came out of that demon street, she didn't remember what mints were not mints at all. She remembered that those things had fallen on the demon street when she found that she couldn't move, and that she had been scared half to death when she left, and that she didn't have the guts or courage to pick them up, or even forget they existed.
To be honest, she didn't remember that she had bought anything on that snack street until now, and if she hadn't seen the lump on the table at this time, she might have had a hard time remembering the existence of those things.
After knowing what those things were, Mo Qiuci immediately withdrew her attention, she stared at those things tightly, wondering how they appeared here, could it be ......
A bad thought suddenly arises.
I'm probably being targeted by a youkai!
Mo Qiuci suddenly lost her face, in her opinion, those monsters would not be so kind to return what she left behind, and she felt that the cold monster she met yesterday didn't look like a person who could do such a thing, so what was going on!
With so many years of experience in reading literature, Mo Qiuci felt that she must have attracted the attention of a bad monster, and those things were sent to her by that monster, and then he would follow her all the time, hiding in the shadows to absorb her essence, and finally she would die at the hands of that monster because the essence in her body was exhausted.
In fact, there is another possibility for this idea, but Mo Qiuci feels that that possibility will not appear on her at all, after all, she has not crossed into the protagonist, and she is not a little lucky, as a cannon fodder supporting role who is likely to be sacrificed at any time, she feels that what she will face next is definitely the situation she thinks.
Damn! I thought I was lucky enough to survive, but now it doesn't seem like that!
Mo Qiuci once again felt that she was too miserable, and she couldn't help but scold the author in her heart.
After this incident, she didn't want to sleep anymore at all, and lay on the bed until dawn, and then waited for the sound of talking outside, so she didn't continue to lie down, got up and put on her shoes, and walked quickly to the door.
She now has countless things in her heart that she wants to know, and the most likely thing she knows is why Lu Mian was able to find her yesterday.
But to know the premise of this matter, you have to sleep up, and be willing to tell her, otherwise she still doesn't know.
