Watching Feng Tianlan fast asleep and listening to her steady breathing, his wildly palpitating heart slowly calmed down. He reached out and touched the side of her face gently. Then, he moved forward carefully and kissed her gently on the forehead. “Lan’er, I hope that you are dreaming about me right now.”
In the end, he couldn’t hold back anymore and pulled her into his arms until she was nestled close to him. He only truly felt a sense of security after doing that.
When Feng Tianlan opened her eyes, she noticed that the space beside her on the bed was empty. The only thing left was an indent imprinted into the pillow by the person who slept there before.
“Mobai?” Feng Tianlan looked around the room. His minty fragrance was still lingering in the air.
Feng Tianlan instantly felt an emptiness in her heart. Did he already leave?
But she had something she needed to say to him! How could he just leave like that? He should at least give her time to say what she needed to say.
Because his smell was still lingering in the room, she guessed that he had not yet gone too far. She would be able to catch up. As soon as she came to that conclusion, she jumped out of bed, opened the door, and walked out without putting on her shoes.
“Lan’er.” Si Mobai approached her from the left. Upon seeing Lan’er walking outside barefooted, he frowned. His voice was cold. Didn’t she realize that her body was still weak?
Feng Tianlan walked towards him briskly. “Mobai, there is something I have to tell you. I—”
“Brother Jin!”
Hearing such a shout ring out, Feng Tianlan could not say the thing she wanted to say. She abruptly looked over in the direction of the voice that interrupted her.
Under the sunlight, three familiar figures appeared before her eyes and took her breath away. Her hand gripped onto the corner of her shirt with such force that blue veins protruded from the skin of her slender hands. Her phoenix eyes turned red.
Shen Yunya and Jiang Ying!
The sight of them instantly brought her back to the time before she was dead when Jiang Ying was peeling off her face inch by inch while a gentle smile graced his features. His voice flowed like water. “Dai’er, didn’t you say you love me? If you love me, then be obedient and don’t cry or scream. Otherwise, your skin will be wrinkled. If that happens, I will not be able to love you anymore.”
Standing next to him, Shen Yunya had an innocent smile plastered on her face, and her sweet voice began to tell her the truth about her parents’ death as she dug her eyeballs out of their sockets…
She had to kill them all!
Boom!
She unleashed her murderous aura like a demon who had just broken from its seal. Her eyes flashed blood-red, and they filled up with murderous intent.
“Lan’er?” Si Mobai walked up to Feng Tianlan. He sensed that something strange had changed her, and he wanted to hold and comfort her. But she pushed him away and stalked towards Shen Yunya and the others with slow and deliberate steps.
Xi Jin noticed her movements and looked over her direction. His voice was as gentle as ever, but there were hints of hostility. “Miss Feng.”
“Lan’er, I am here.” Si Mobai immediately picked her up with both hands and held her tightly to his chest. His fear of losing her alarmed him once again.
The voice that called her name was gentle, despite carrying hints of coldness. The secure sensation of falling into the arms of someone familiar after being swept off her feet, the cooling mint fragrance that rushed up her nose, and the cold, familiar voice that was always so pleasing to her ears…
All these things were like pails of cold water poured down over the top of her head. She was instantly jolted back to reality from the tragic death scene of her past life. She glanced at Shen Yunya and Jiang Ying, then everything turned dark, and she passed out.
“Lan’er!” Si Mobai’s heart jumped up from his chest into his throat. He glared coldly at the three of them and carried Feng Tianlan back to her room.
Shen Yunya and Jiang Ying were flustered by Feng Tianlan’s sudden murderous aura and the stare of her blood-red eyes. It was as if they had been shrouded in death. They felt unsettled by this.
“Brother Jin, they are…” Shen Yunya frowned. She didn’t like the murderous aura Feng Tianlan exuded towards her—it made her felt very threatened.
