sinking in his peril

Bai Xiyao went up and down three times, but she still couldn't draw the portrait. She didn't feel it at all. She always felt like she was looking in the mirror, holding a blank paper, and using a pencil to smear on the paper randomly, just bit by bit. The messy picture of dripping cannot be put together.

Ouyang Qing has been silently accompanying Bai Xiyao up and down, as quiet as if it doesn't exist, but his attention is all on Bai Xiyao, Tao Zi feels weird, Ouyang Qing's silence is a little angry, a little depressed, but there is nothing Meaning to give up, he looked at Bai Xiyao persistently, and there was no one else in his eyes.Tao Zi was really worried, worried that this kind of persistence would hurt both Ouyang Qing and Bai Xiyao.

Ouyang Qing drove Taozi and Bai Xiyao home. They had a simple work meal and discussed with Ouyang Ruixiang the excavation of the old site. Certainly, he found that during the excavation, he was eager to know the following situation and made a big mistake, that is, during the excavation, he was too subjective, and it was not as clear as Bai Xiyao's intuition.

Passing through the playground, it was more than nine o'clock in the evening. There was no one in the playground, and there were no lights. However, as if by accident, Bai Xiyao saw a flickering dot, like a firefly, flickering. flash.It was supposed to be a cigarette, in a ferris wheel, a twinkling dot.Her heart skipped a beat, and she became inexplicably nervous.

"Stop the car, please?" Bai Xiyao said completely without thinking. She didn't know why, but she instinctively felt that it must be a cigarette flashing. Who could it be?Could it be someone she knew?Could it be - Sima?She read the name gently in her heart, could it be him?
"Is there something wrong?" Tao Zi asked puzzledly, followed Bai Xiyao's gaze and looked outside, it was a playground, she was looking at what to do there, but there was nothing left, except for the darkness and the people on duty, there was no one at all up.

Suddenly, Ouyang Qing's cell phone rang quickly. He took out the cell phone and saw that it was his father's number. Didn't they just leave? "Dad, what's the matter?"

"Come back right away, you and Tao Zi, immediately, it seems that someone is watching us here, I really want to see someone, but I don't know what they are here for." Ouyang Ruixiang's voice sounded hurried and confused.

"Now?" Ouyang Qing hesitated, and glanced at Bai Xiyao, "But, Xiyao is still in the car, she hasn't arrived home yet."

"What's the matter?" Taozi asked puzzled, "It seems that the professor wants me to go back with you immediately?" He could hear the voice from the phone, and Ouyang Ruixiang's voice could be heard more clearly, probably Bai Xiyao heard it too.

"Dad said that someone seems to have entered the old site." Ouyang Qing frowned slightly, "The security measures at the old site should be good, except for us bringing people in, outsiders can't get in, how could outsiders enter at this time What? Is Dad blind? I'll take Xi Yao home first, and then we'll go back."

"No need." Bai Xiyao took another look at the flickering cigarette butt, and immediately said, "It's not too late now, I'll just take a taxi and go back, you guys go to work, if Uncle Ouyang's guess It's true, he is very dangerous now, some of the items you unearthed are in the old site, if lost, the responsibility will be great."

"This—" Ouyang Qing hesitated.

"That's fine." Tao Zi smiled and said, "That's great. Anyway, it's early now. You can go back slowly. If you are in a good mood and healthy, you can walk home by yourself. When you get home, call me so that I don't worry. .”

Bai Xiyao nodded, got out of the car, and watched Ouyang Qing's car leave.Turning around, looking at the flickering cigarette in the night, hesitating for a moment, it is impossible for her to enter the playground at this time, the flickering cigarette is Sima?Can he see himself?Thinking about it, laughing, is this possible? How could he see himself from such a long distance?He said that they will never be boyfriend and girlfriend, so why don't you know what's interesting?

However, standing there, she couldn't move her feet, watching the light quietly, someone walked by her, and looked at her curiously, at this time, a girl was standing outside the playground, staring at the light. Looking inside, it looks weird.

Tao Zi glanced at Ouyang Qing who was concentrating on driving, hesitated, and asked softly: "Ouyang Qing, are you angry with my sister?"

Ouyang Qing froze for a moment, the car slowed down, turned to look at Tao Zi, sighed, and said: "Tao Zi, I am worried, it has been calm all this time, we have lived a peaceful life, but since this old site found out, Many things have changed, my father has changed, Xi Yao has also changed, my father has become obsessed, Xi Yao has become sensitive and stubborn, it seems that everything has suddenly become chaotic. What can this old site bring us?"

Tao Zi looked at Ouyang Qing, thought for a while, and said, "I didn't think much of it, Xi Yao still seemed to be the same as before. She was so quiet that people could hardly feel her existence. My parents often said that the few in our family, Xi Yao is the least conspicuous, she has always been like this, and when it comes to love, a little girl will always be emotionally unstable, maybe she has fallen in love with you now, that's why she is so willful, if she It’s also self-willed.”

Ouyang Qing shook his head, looked at Tao Zi sadly, and said slowly: "No, her rejection scares me now, there must be someone else's shadow in her heart, that's why she didn't accept me before, I Not scared, I thought I had enough time, but this time, for some reason, I started feeling scared, very, very scared."

"Who can she like?" Taozi said with a smile, "You can rest assured that Xiyao is the most obedient and well-behaved. If she has a boy she likes, she will definitely tell her family. Since she was a child, she has been a girl who doesn't let her family know." Worrying people are never the best, but they will never cause trouble, unlike my second sister, who has been a prominent figure since she was a child, she even said that she fell in love with Sima and wanted to marry Sima, it's simply—" Speaking Here, Tao Zi was taken aback for a moment, and a thought popped up, could it be that Xi Yao fell in love with Sima? !
"What's the matter?" Ouyang Qing looked at Tao Zi who suddenly fell silent, feeling a little puzzled.

"It's okay, it's okay." Taozi smiled concealedly, but suddenly felt some pain in her heart. What's going on, why is she feeling so uncomfortable all of a sudden? Could it be that he doesn't want his sister to have a man she can like, or—

"That Sima, does he like Xi Yao?" Ouyang Qing looked ahead and asked hesitantly.

"How could it be?" Taozi smiled immediately, looking out the car window, feeling confused.

"Taozi, it's my fault." Ouyang Qing drove the car intently, and said slowly, "My sister is right, it's because I wasn't active enough, I wasn't enthusiastic enough, and I was too careless towards Xi Yao, so I can't blame her Reject me, I will not give up, she is the girl I have identified since I was a child, no matter what, I must love her for the rest of my life, no matter what kind of suitor I have, it is all my fault, from now on, I will love her well She, love her seriously."

Tao Zi turned her head to look at Ouyang Qing, and a strange thought popped up, Xi Yao may be the most ordinary girl in the Bai family, but she must be the one with the most exciting life, at least she has someone who really loves her with.But what if Xi Yao really fell in love with Sima?Zhizhi will never let Xi Yao go, he knows his second sister too well, since she was a child, she was a self-centered girl, she was spoiled, anything, in her eyes, is a matter of course It should belong to her, if she finds out that Xi Yao and she fell in love with a man at the same time, she will do everything possible, even at the cost of hurting Xi Yao to get Sima!However, with his Taozi around, who dares to hurt Xi Yao, he will fight desperately with the other party, even if the other party is his second sister, he can't, he and Xi Yao are siblings, hurting her is tantamount to hurting her. killed him!
"Taozi, what's wrong with you?" Ouyang Qing looked at Taozi in surprise, "Why is your expression so terrifying? It seems that you hate someone with gritted teeth?!"

Taozi opened the front mirror and stared at it for a long time, "Is there any? I think I'm still handsome? Hehe, you won't be so sensitive after Xi Yao broke up? Let's go, no matter how late, Be careful that Professor Ouyang cleans up the two of us, don't tell me, I haven't noticed yet, I really think Professor Ouyang is a bit weird when you say this, especially after discovering the red candle, he seems to have become indifferent , especially to Xi Yao, who is fierce."

"Is Xiyao home now?" Ouyang Qing suddenly stared outside and said, "It seems to be raining, but there was still a moon just now. Taozi, I always feel that we shouldn't disturb this old site. If we disturb this old site, we will disrupted our lives."

"Hehe, no way." Taozi said disapprovingly, "It's been many years since she disappeared, so there's nothing to be afraid of, you, you're just scaring yourself, don't make random contacts, Xi Yao's situation is a bit special, maybe It’s true that she can talk to some things in the old site, but it doesn’t mean anything else? Besides, we just excavated, not destroyed.”

Outside the playground, Bai Xiyao kept staring at the cigarette flashing and flashing until it disappeared and the playground turned into darkness. In fact, it is not far to walk, this road is a big road, there are many people coming and going, so don't worry about safety.There was a wind blowing gently, the moon was still bright in the sky just now, but now, the sky suddenly changed, a little cloudy, it seemed that the rain was behind the clouds and could fall at any time.

"Will you wait for me again?" A voice sounded quietly behind her.

Bai Xiyao immediately turned her head and stared blankly at the person who came. In the dark night, he stood quietly and looked at her with a calm expression. He could not see any emotion, his voice was as calm as water, and his eyes were unfathomable. It was really Sima. !Why did he suddenly appear?
"I," Bai Xiyao looked at Sima lightly, flustered unexpectedly, and said softly, "I saw a cigarette flashing, I thought, it should be a cigarette, my father smokes, I have seen a cigarette Flickering in the dark, I think, it should be, I'm thinking, who could it be?"

There seemed to be a slight smile on Sima's lips, which seemed real and unreal, and he couldn't see clearly. He said lightly, "Yes, it's me. I saw you, so I came over to say hello."

"Now, you are in the playground?" Bai Xiyao said in surprise, "How did you get in? The gate has already been closed here, yet you can still go in and come out?"

Sima couldn't help smiling, "It's just a door. Why are you here?"

Bai Xiyao looked at the playground door strangely, it was closed tightly, how did he get in?How did it come out?The duty room was on, and he entered through the door?It seems unlikely.Suddenly remembered Sima's question, "Oh, my brother and Ouyang Qing sent me here. Uncle Ouyang has something urgent, so let them go back immediately, and I will get off here."
