Chapter 12 Nightmare

Jiang Lingsi picked a sunny evening and took Xi Ruan away.

Just kidding, although Jiang Lingsi planned this way,

But it’s a pity——

Jiang Lingsi didn't find any opportunity in the next two days.

Xi Ruan spent the past two days at school very easily.

She goes to school alone, eats breakfast and lunch alone, listens carefully in class, and works hard to memorize and do exercises after class. She doesn't have to force herself to face Liu Yue's hypocritical face. When school is over, the nanny is already waiting at the school gate to take her home.

Of course, it would have been better if Jiang Lingsi hadn't stared at her with those wolf-like eyes at the back door of their class every time it was dinner time.

Maybe because they finished school early after the monthly exam today, they did not catch the rush hour, and the traffic on the road was very smooth.

Xi Ruan looked at the street scene receding outside the car window for a while, then closed his eyes and rested.

Tomorrow is the sixth day, so I can take a short break.

-

At night, Xi Ruan finished a few papers, looked at the "00:57" on the watch, got up to wash, then turned off the lights and went to bed.

The bedroom was plunged into complete darkness. The moon was at its zenith, and the frosty white light shone through the gaps in the loose curtains onto the bed. The girl's brows could be vaguely seen furrowed slightly in her sleep.

Xi Ruan had a nightmare.

In the dim lights and silent underground parking lot, she walked forward alone, passing through rows of empty vehicles.

The air was extremely cold, and she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and she hugged her arms tightly.

She looked around as she walked, as if looking for something.

After taking two more steps forward, she finally saw her destination. The black car that usually picked her up was next to a pillar in the distance.

As long as she passed the heavy protective sealed door in front, she could reach the area where the car was.

Perhaps it was because the deserted parking lot was too eerie and she was a little scared. The car seemed to glow in her eyes at this moment, causing her to quicken her pace.

"Da, da", "Da, da", "Da da, da da..."

Her footsteps echoed in the dark parking lot, and she was getting closer and closer to the car...

Sudden!An arm stretched out from the darkness beside her and pulled her over!

Her body was completely unbalanced! She opened her eyes wide, her breathing suddenly blocked, her mouth and nose were covered by a rough big hand, and the rusty red sealed door suddenly became tall and out of reach as she fell...

The feeling of weightlessness spread throughout his body, and Xi Ruan sat up suddenly, completely awake.

She raised her hand to brush away the messy hair in front of her eyes, but she felt the cold sweat on her forehead.

"Huh...huh..."

Xi Ruan lowered his head and looked at his chest which was rising and falling violently, only to find that he was breathing heavily.

This dream feels too real...

Xi Ruan tried hard to calm his heartbeat and breathing. He sat there for an unknown amount of time before he felt hungry and wanted to eat something.

She got out of bed and decided to go to the kitchen to find something to eat.

The warmly decorated corridor was lit with bright warm yellow lights, just as usual.

Xi Ruan's fear was completely dispelled. She glanced at the nanny's room next to her room. She was afraid of disturbing the nanny to get up and take care of her, so she lowered all sounds and carefully avoided the sensor device on the nanny's room door.

This was specially arranged by her stepfather to take care of her.

Because she couldn't speak, her stepfather was afraid that if something happened to her at night she would be embarrassed to call anyone, so he did this.

She didn't know it at first, but every time she went downstairs in the middle of the night, the nanny would appear in time after a short while. After observing for a while, she found that there were several hidden sensing points on the nanny's door.

After successfully avoiding the sensor, Xi Ruan breathed a sigh of relief and went downstairs holding the long handrail.

Just when he got halfway down, Xi Ruan saw a flickering light in the dim living room. There was a dark figure on the sofa, holding a red wine glass in his hand, looking at the picture projected opposite.

The person on the sofa seemed to have heard the noise on the stairs and turned to look over.

"It's Ruan Ruan..." Bai Shiren looked at Xi Ruan with soft eyes.

"Do you want to eat?" Bai Shiren guessed. Without waiting for Xi Ruan's response, he sternly ordered the servant beside him, "Go and get some of the young lady's favorite food."

The servant turned and went to the kitchen. Bai Shiren patted the sofa beside him and tried to relax his serious face. "Ruan Ruan, come and sit down. Come with me to see your mother."

Xi Ruan closed her eyes, took a long breath, sat down obediently next to her stepfather, and looked up at the big screen opposite.

The woman in the picture has exquisite make-up and hair, wears a flowing fairy dress, dances with long sleeves, and moves as lightly as the wind.

She danced above the glorious hall filled with clouds and mist, the sky was full of flowers and rain, she smiled, and slowly fell from the mid-air, just like the goddess of the nine heavens.

This is her mother, Meng Shuyi, once China’s top classical dancer.

"I heard that Ruan Ruan hasn't danced recently." Bai Shiren said.

Xi Ruan nodded.

She has seldom practiced dancing since she started attending boarding high school. Now that she no longer lives in the dormitory, she has lost interest in dancing.

After all…the mother who used to dance with her is no longer here.

Bai Shiren put down his wine glass and sighed, "You... don't blame your mother, right?

She didn't let you pursue a career in dance because it was for your own good.

This road is too hard. You have excellent academic performance. She hopes that you can live an easier life, even if it is a little more ordinary. At least you don’t end up like her, with injuries all over her body in middle age. "

Xi Ruan looked at her mother on the screen with attachment and shook her head slowly.

She was angry at first. After her vocal cords were damaged, she once wanted to be a dancer like her mother, but later, even she herself felt that she was not suitable for that path in any way.

When Bai Shiren saw her expression, he knew that she really didn't blame him and was so sensible that it made people feel distressed.

He reached out and touched the top of her head. "Don't worry, uncle will do his best to find someone who can cure your throat."

Xi Ruan lowered her head, her long eyelashes trembled, and she did not make any response.

The servant brought the prepared food at this time. Bai Shiren immediately urged Xi Ruan to eat and watched her go upstairs after she finished eating.

-

The next morning, Xi Ruan had just finished breakfast and was drinking juice when a guest suddenly came to her house.

After finding out who it was, Father Bai didn't care and just told everyone to continue doing what they were doing and not to worry about it.

So when the servant brought him in, Father Bai was still playing chess with Bai Yi.

"Why did Xiaoshu come here suddenly?"

Father Bai raised his eyelids and glanced at Shen Jiashu. Bai Yi was still staring at the chessboard, not even bothering to look at him.

However, Xi Ruan's eyes moved when he heard the name "Xiaoshu" from afar, as if he remembered something.

Shen Jiashu was not embarrassed by this situation. He sat on the sofa and replied with a smile, "Uncle Bai, you guys are too polite. I finally came here, and you don't even welcome me?"

Father Bai's face darkened, and he took a sip of tea. "Being polite? When you were a kid, you came here every day to play. You even knew where a nail was in my house. How can I be polite to you?"

"If you have something to say, please tell me now. Don't delay me and my daughter from playing chess."

Shen Jiashu smiled heartily and glanced at Xi Ruan's back in the restaurant. At this time, he felt a little embarrassed.

"It's nothing serious. The bookstore just received a new batch of test papers today. They are said to be pretty good. I thought Xi Ruan might need some, so I wanted to ask her if she wanted to go take a look together."

"Test questions?" Upon hearing this, Mr. Bai lost interest in playing chess. His eyes were focused on Shen Jiashu, scanning him back and forth. Even Bai Yi, who had been motionless before, raised his eyes.

Shen Jiashu broke out in a cold sweat out of guilt at the gloomy and inquiring gaze, but he soon breathed a sigh of relief.

Father Bai took another sip of tea, his expression became a little more amiable, and then he waved to Xi Ruan and said loudly, "Ruan Ruan, come here!"

"Let's go to the bookstore with your brother Jiashu today. It's not good to stay at home all the time. What do you think?"

Bai Yi's face turned extremely ugly when she heard that. She opened her mouth to object to Bai's father, but was met with his cold gaze.

She gritted her teeth in hatred, her eyes filled with resentment, but in the end she had no choice but to lower her head and continue looking at the chessboard under Bai's father's tough attitude. Her palms were clenched tightly, and the chess pieces hurt her.

On the other side, Xi Ruan walked over from the restaurant. She did not see the tense atmosphere just now. She glanced at Shen Jiashu, then at Bai's father and Bai Yi, and remembered that she really needed a new test paper, so she nodded.

In an apartment on Weilan Waterfront, Jiang Lingsi, who was sleeping soundly, heard the annoying voice of the system in his mind again.

[Host, get up! Host, get up! The target is moving into the city! Today is the last day of the mission! Host, get up quickly and complete the mission! ! If you miss this opportunity, the mission will fail! ! ]

Jiang Lingsi, who stayed up all night and just slept, buried his head in the quilt irritably, trying to block the sound, but it was useless.

"Fuck! If you fail, you fail! There is no punishment anyway, so don't bother me to sleep!" Jiang Lingsi couldn't help but yelled.

The system looked at Jiang Lingsi, who was completely curled up in the quilt and was running around in a panic. In a hurry, it could only reveal: [But the mysterious prop reward for this mission is a script! With the script, you can know what will happen in the future! ]

"What script?!" Jiang Lingsi opened his eyes instantly and sat up.
