In the dark cell, the smell of blood gradually dissipated.

There are a few half-burned candles on the wall, and the faint light of the flames is constantly flickering in the airflow of the exhaust fan.

The dim light swayed repeatedly on the faces of Qiu Luo and Lin Jinran, and they cuddled in the corner of the wall. To be precise, it was Lin Jinran who was holding Qiu Luo to his death and refused to get up.

Qiu Luo was extremely helpless: "I didn't leave, but my legs are a little numb."

The wind is blowing all around, and only human body temperature can absorb a little courage and warmth.

Lin Jinran's ears were faintly tinged with red, and he turned over reluctantly, with his back against the cold wall, his head buried in the crook of his arm, and only one hand was still firmly grasping the corner of Qiu Luo's clothes.

Qiu Luo was a little funny, and patted his forehead: "Who was laughing at me just now? Why are you so afraid now?"

Lin Jinran raised his head, his voice was hoarse: "I'm not afraid."

Qiu Luo knelt down and sat beside him: "Then why did you hit someone? You were so fierce just now, if I hadn't held you back, you might have been killed or injured if you stabbed me down."

I don't know which word stimulated Lin Jinran. He was shocked, his pupils shrank slightly, and there was a vague panic between his gloomy brows, which was deeply suppressed.

There was a sound of messy footsteps outside the cell, and the iron door was pushed open with a creak. Several staff members, as well as Wang Qi and Li Fanfan, who were captured by the "ghost" just now, all ran over.

Among them, the "man in black" who was almost hacked to death by Lin Jinran was holding his stomach, his face was livid, fearful and angry, pointing at Lin Jinran and saying: "That's the kid, he's crazy, he almost killed me just now!" !"

Lin Jinran raised his eyes, staring at him with a pair of black pupils, his eyes pierced like arrows, and the hostility all over his body could hardly be concealed.

The moment the "man in black" looked at him, it was as if his head had been pierced by a sharp sword, his heart turned cold, and he had to hold back his cursing words.

Li Fanfan and Wang Qi were so frightened that they swallowed their saliva. Although Lin Jinran had a bad temper in the past and fights were common, they had never seen him like this before.

The person in charge of the haunted house was afraid of offending these wealthy children, so he came out to make love: "Forget it, it's just an underage child..."

Lin Jinran supported the wall and stood up, asked the staff to return her mobile phone, dialed a number, and said indifferently: "Someone will take you to the hospital for treatment in a while, the cost and compensation will satisfy you, what else do you need?" You can tell them."

The man in black finally heard a sentence from a human being, and he snorted and fell silent. He didn't expect people like Lin Jinran to apologize. He just scolded the eighteen generations of his ancestors in his heart, cursing these evil rich people. People go bankrupt early.

Lin Jinran didn't want to stay here any longer, and dragged Qiu Luo to leave.

"Sorry, he didn't do it on purpose just now, it's because your haunted house is so realistic that we got into the drama like this."

Qiu Luo poked Lin Jinran's arm with his elbow: "Are you right?"

Lin Jinran was so old that he didn't know how to write the word apology, so he turned his head and frowned and gave Qiu Luo an unhappy look, then closed his eyes and nodded.

The staff of the haunted house finally stopped talking.Li Fanfan and Wang Qi looked at each other, it was not the first time for Lin Jinran to hit someone, and Wang Qi was hit in the face by his shoe, but it was the first time for him to subdue.

※※※

In the evening, everyone spent the night in a five-star hotel in Amusement Valley. The two shared a deluxe double room, and Qiu Luo and Li Fanfan were assigned to a group.

When the elevator reached the seventeenth floor, Li Fanfan was crying to Qiu Luo about the psychological trauma he suffered after being thrown to the ghost by Qiu Luo.

But in the corridor outside the room, a slender figure was leaning against the wall. Lin Jinran changed into a black sweater, stepped on the wall with one leg bent, arms crossed, and glanced at the two of them, coldly The voice scoffed: "It's really slow."

Qiu Luo was stunned: "Didn't you share a room with Wang Qi? You live next door?"

Lin Jinran gently pressed the tip of his tongue against the inner wall of his mouth, and licked the shells of his teeth in a leisurely manner. His eyes fell on Li Fanfan coolly, and he said without changing his expression, "Oh, Li Fanfan said he wanted to live with Wang Qi, so he asked me to live with Wang Qi." I changed rooms."

Qiu Luo turned to look at Li Fanfan, who had an expression of wanting to cry, but under the oppression of Lin Jinran's Ruosubstantial gaze, he squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying: "Yes... ah... then Me, then I'll pass..."

When passing by Lin Jinran, he raised the corner of his mouth a little, patted the little fat man on the shoulder, and held a black room card between his fingers: "Don't forget your room card."

The interior of the room is very spacious, with a small hall, a balcony, and a full set of e-sports equipment. The bathroom is separated from wet and dry, and there is a fun bathtub outside the shower.

Tired all day, Qiu Luo went straight to the bathroom to take a shower. After drying his hair, he walked out of the bathroom wearing a cotton T-shirt.

Lin Jinran was sitting in the gaming chair playing games, squinting his eyes lazily, the light from the computer screen was constantly changing on his face, with a blurred and unreal feeling.

Hearing the movement, he turned his head, Qiu Luo yawned and pointed to the bathroom: "It's your turn."

He rolled onto one of the beds, his eyelids twitching.

Lin Jinran pursed her lips, and walked beside his bed at a slow pace: "Are you going to sleep now?"

Qiu Luo reluctantly opened her eyelids: "You don't want me to accompany you even if you take a bath?"

Lin Jinran seemed to be pricked by a cactus thorn, and raised his eyebrows: "Today was just an accident!"

Qiu Luo turned over and nodded perfunctorily: "I know, I know."

Lin Jinran shut his mouth fiercely, plunged into the bathroom, and soon there was the sound of running water.

Qiu Luo tossed and tossed on the bed for a while, but unexpectedly became more and more sober, so she simply sat up and took out her mobile phone to browse the school's forum posts.

He tried to contact his father and the secretary next to his father, but he didn't dare to tell the whole story of his bizarre experience directly, and only sent some vague messages, all of which disappeared without exception.

Qiu Luo didn't expect this naive idea to work. Even those prominent business tycoons who want to contact his father may not be able to find a way to make an appointment, let alone an unknown high school student.I'm afraid it will be filtered out as spam.

A few days ago, he anonymously posted a post on the forum asking about the status of "Qiu Luo" senior, and there were many responses to the post. Finally, he came across a message saying that Senior Qiu had just recovered from his illness and would be back to class soon.

Qiu Luo's heart skipped a beat, the opportunity has come!

He read the post for a long time, and the hands of the wall clock on the wall were almost turning, but there was no movement in the bathroom.

Why hasn't Lin Jinran come out yet?Don't just fall in, right?

Qiu Luo sighed and knocked on the bathroom door: "Lin Jinran, are you shedding your skin in there? I want to go to the bathroom."

There was no response from inside the door.

Qiu Luo's eyebrows twitched, could something have happened?

He twisted the doorknob vigorously, thinking that it would take a lot of strength to open it, but Lin Jinran didn't lock the door at all, and opened it as soon as he twisted it.

As soon as Qiu Luo entered, she saw Lin Jinran lying in the bathtub for one person, with half of her head almost submerged in the bath water.

He was startled, and immediately rushed to the bathtub, dragged the other person up by the arm, and patted the other person on the cheek: "Lin Jinran, wake up!"

The bath water had already been completely cold, and Lin Jinran's skin was so cold that it seemed to be covered with a thin layer of ice. He opened his eyes in a daze, and suddenly woke up with a jolt.

Lin Jinran suddenly sat up from the bathtub, the water splashed Qiu Luo's head and face: "I fell asleep?"

Qiu Luo wiped her face angrily: "Are you able to fall asleep? I thought you passed out! If my bladder could last longer, tomorrow you will become the biggest joke in school. The bath water drowned in the tub!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes glanced over Lin Jinran's naked body, and finally stopped suddenly on several criss-crossing scars on his chest. The longest one was more than ten centimeters long, stretching from his left shoulder across his left chest. How many stitches did you have at that time.

The crooked scar is like an ugly centipede. After so many years, you can still see clear marks, showing the danger at that time.

"You are..."

Only then did Lin Jinran realize that he was naked, and his face suddenly changed. Instead of covering his lower body shyly like ordinary people, he turned sideways immediately to cover the scar on his chest.

"Don't look at it." Lin Jinran said sullenly, fixed his eyes on the trembling and rolling water droplets on the edge of the bathtub, "It's ugly..."

Qiu Luo suddenly thought of his abnormal state in the haunted house today, almost beating someone to death with violence all over his body.

In the plot projected on the wall, the man in black is the princess who tortured the castle with a knife, and finally stabbed her in the heart.

Qiu Luo hurriedly turned around, a not-so-good guess in her mind.

The sound of water and cloth rubbing came from behind, Lin Jinran ran out of the bathroom without even drying himself.

When Qiu Luo came out, a lone shadow was reflected on the window sill. He silently pushed open the balcony door. Lin Jinran was leaning on the blue-gray iron railing. The night was full of stars, but none of them fell into his eyes.

There was no sad expression on his face, his eyes were deep, silently staring at something in the void.

"Ask what you want to ask."

Qiu Luo blinked: "You can say whatever you want, I'm listening."

"Actually, I almost forgot about it. It was already ten years ago." Lin Jinran's voice was light and light, and Qiu Luo had to get close to hear it clearly.

"I was kidnapped once when I was seven years old. The kidnappers kidnapped me but didn't want a ransom. They only asked my dad to see him alone."

Qiu Luo frowned: "Is there any enmity with your family?"

Lin Jinran nodded uncertainly: "Yes, but I don't know what the deep hatred is. The wounds on my body were all cut by him with a knife to vent his hatred..."

"I was praying all the time that someone would come and save me, just anybody."

Qiu Luo's heart sank: "Then has your father gone?"

Lin Jinran gave a low laugh, grasped the railing with both hands, and his fingertips turned white: "He didn't."

"I don't remember much about that day. I just remember that there was blood on the ground and my body was in pain. I waited until it was dark. My dad didn't come to save me because he had an important meeting to chair and he didn't call the police. , because if it spreads out, it will affect his reputation."

"In the end, he only sent a secretary to bring the money, put down the money and left. The kidnappers didn't achieve their goal, so of course they refused to let me go."

Qiu Luo fell into a moment of silence. It was hard for him to imagine such a father in this world: "Then how did you get saved?"

Lin Jinran leaned his elbows on the railing and his index finger against his temple. After a long time, he said in a deep voice, "Whistle..."

Qiu Luo was stunned: "What?"

Lin Jinran's eyes are misty: Looking at the dark night:

"At that time, I heard the sound of a whistle. The kidnapper mistakenly thought that someone had found me, so he wanted to take me away. He thought I was a child who despised me, but he didn't know that I was actually very strong. The moment I got into the car, I kicked his ass hard..."

Qiu Luo stretched his eyebrows: "Then you ran away?"

"No." Lin Jinran glanced back at him, his eyes reflected the dim light of neon lights in the distance, flickering on and off, like a dying star, "I could have run, but I didn't, I snatched his The knife stabbed hard into his chest."

Qiu Luo fell silent, and looked at him calmly.

"Later, I didn't know anymore. When I was found, my face was covered with blood. I didn't cry or cry. The pain seemed to be paralyzed. After that, I was sent abroad for recuperation."

Lin Jinran curled up the corners of his mouth mockingly: "I heard that the man didn't die and was imprisoned. I only feel sorry when I know it. If it were now, I would definitely not give him a chance to breathe."

Qiu Luo secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the first half of the sentence, but his heart began to sink again in the second half.

Lin Jinran has been paying attention to his expression from the corner of his eye, and suddenly smiled, with a dull smile: "I'm just joking, do you really believe it?"

Qiu Luo twitched the corner of her mouth, what's so funny?

"So, it's because of this reason that you have been fighting with your father?"

Lin Jinran was silent for a longer time this time. After a long time, he slowly opened his mouth: "When I was young, I always didn't understand what I did wrong that he didn't like me. At that time, I finally understood , I'm just a redundant person, not expected by anyone, and it doesn't matter at all. He has other children, maybe he would be happier without my existence. "

Qiu Luo opened his mouth, and suddenly felt that he also had a clumsy day, and racked his brains but couldn't find a topic to comfort him.

In the end, he could only choke out one sentence: "It's not like that!"

Qiu Luo thought for a while, and said sincerely: "Besides you always have a stern face, bad temper, stubborn mouth, poor ancient prose and love to pretend to be cool, you are still quite cute."

Lin Jinran: "..."

So in this guy's heart, he is so bad!

His face became even more stinky, and he went back to the house with a dark face, threw himself on another bed, covered his head with the blanket, and turned his back to Qiu Luo.

Qiu Luo scratched her hair and climbed onto the bed: "Then shall I turn off the light and go to bed?"

With a click, the bedroom was plunged into darkness, only the cold moonlight streamed on the floor through the window.

There was a rustling sound from the next door, and Lin Jinran turned around again, staring at Qiu Luo silently with a pair of eyes: "Can you blow the whistle again, and let me hear it?"

Qiu Luo didn't fall asleep at all, got up and remembered that the whistle was lost in the haunted house. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the potted plant in the corner, ran over barefoot, and picked a leaf: "I haven't blown this thing for a long time, You will do it."

As he spoke, he put the leaf by his lips, and controlled the airflow to flow out from both sides of the leaf. The long and gentle tune sounded in the darkness, making people feel peaceful and safe.

After playing the last melody, Qiu Luo turned her head to see that Lin Jinran had closed her eyes at some point, her breathing was as steady as if she was asleep, and there was a faint smile on the corner of her lips.

Qiu Luo breathed a sigh of relief, and also curled up under the quilt and fell asleep.

After a while, Lin Jinran opened his eyes again in the darkness. He got up from his bed, moved to Qiu Luo's side, and sat on the carpet in front of the bed. He turned his head, stared at the sleeping Qiu Luo silently, and whispered Muttering: "Could it be you..."

※※※

After the spring outing, the two returned to their monotonous and busy school life. They would occasionally go to the boxing gym to vent their excess energy after school, or stay in the classroom and do their homework bitterly.

Qiu Luo always felt that Lin Jinran was getting more and more attached to him, and would appear at various times from time to time, giving her a sense of presence in her field of vision.

He was going to the teaching building of the third grade to inquire about information, and he had to avoid Lin Jinran like a thief.

Emperor Tian paid off, after squatting at Qiuluo for a week, the time traveler finally came to the school for class.

The whole grade was talking about this matter, and the enthusiasm that stood shoulder to shoulder with it was the plummeting test scores of "Senior Qiu" and his ranking in the class.

After school that day, Qiu Luo packed her schoolbag early, and rushed out as soon as the bell rang.

He crookedly hid behind the wall of the corridor of the third year of high school, looking at a man in a black suit who looked like a butler, waiting at the door of the class.

Qiu Luo suppressed the excitement in her heart, thinking anxiously, should she go up to the housekeeper directly, tell the truth directly, or test first?

The next moment, "Qiu Luo" came out from the door and handed the schoolbag to the butler. The two said something, and walked to the other side of the corridor one after the other.

Qiu Luo rolled her eyes and quietly followed the two of them, mingling with the crowd after school, following them at a leisurely pace.

There was only a bathroom at the end of the corridor, and there were no stairs or other exits. Qiu Luo quickly detoured to another aisle, ran in front of the two of them, and watched their direction before entering the bathroom first.

After a while, the traverser and the housekeeper stepped in.

Qiu Luo held her breath and looked out from the crack in the compartment door.

He found that the behavior of the traverser was exactly the same as himself, even the facial expressions and the distance between walking steps were very similar. When washing hands, he would hold the fingertips of his left hand with his right hand and wash them.

If it weren't for the clear memory in his mind and the outline of Chuanshu's plot, he would almost have believed that the other party was the real Qiu Luo.

This is too strange.Could this traveler be able to read body memory?

Qiu Luo tightened her brows, so how can I fix it?I have no advantage at all, even if my father stands in front of me, he will not believe that he is his real son!

At this moment, "Qiu Luo" took the handkerchief from the housekeeper to wipe his hands, looked down at his own hands, and couldn't help sighing: "It feels so good to have flexible fingers..."

The butler suddenly raised his head, blocked his mouth with his skinny fingers, looked around vigilantly, saw no one around, and lowered his voice: "Young master, it's normal that your body is still not used to these things after recovering from a serious illness. Don't say it in front of your classmates."

From Qiu Luo's perspective, he couldn't see the expression of the traveler, but he could see the benevolent expression on the butler's face, and even caressed the traveler's cheek, gently rubbing away a drop of water with his thumb.

In an instant, Qiu Luo's heart set off a stormy sea!

What does the time traveler mean?

The butler's words seemed impeccable, and other people would never notice the abnormality, but Qiu Luo knew that although the butler used to be respectful to him, his personality was very rigid and indifferent, and he would never make any more intimate actions towards him than a master and servant. Wouldn't show such a kind expression.

Suddenly, he remembered that there seemed to be a paralyzed son in the butler's house, who should be about the same age as himself.

All along, the butler has been in charge of my daily necessities, food, housing and transportation. That night, he was the last person I saw...

Qiu Luo felt dizzy for a while, her heart sank continuously, and almost fell to the bottom of the valley, the hairs on the back of her neck stood on end, and a chilly air climbed up the spine, straight to the sky.

His mind was buzzing, his thoughts were in a mess, and his breathing was chaotic.

Could it be that the butler is playing tricks behind it?

Fortunately, he didn't rush to contact the housekeeper directly just now, otherwise he would have been caught in a tiger's mouth, for fear that he would not cool down fast enough.

Just as his brain was thinking quickly, the housekeeper and the counterfeit had already left the bathroom one after the other.

Qiu Luo lightly followed them out, keeping a not too close or far distance, pretending to be an ordinary student after school, hanging behind the two of them, and followed downstairs.

At this time, the students after school had almost left, and there were very few people in the stairwell.

In such a quiet atmosphere, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind, calling Qiu Luo to stop, and the high decibel reverberated in the stairwell, afraid that the people in front might not have heard it.

The housekeeper and "Qiu Luo" stopped at the same time, and the moment they turned their heads, Qiu Luo was suffocated and felt that her heartbeat was about to stop!

"Why are you here?" Li Fanfan ran over and patted him on the shoulder.

All the eyes of the few people in the stairwell fell on him for a moment.

Qiu Luo's heart was beating wildly, and she turned her head to look at Li Fanfan calmly: "I just saw Teacher Li is here, and I wanted to ask her a question, but I couldn't find it, forget it."

"Oh." Li Fanfan didn't think too much, "Then I'll go first."

The housekeeper and fake Qiu Luo looked at each other, as if they were also surprised that there was a student with the same name and surname in the school.

The butler's cloudy gaze was like an old snake hiding in the grass. He took a deep look at him before continuing to go downstairs.

Anyway, being seen, Qiu Luo simply walked behind them in a fair manner, until the figures of the two people turned a corner, and they didn't know which direction they were going.

Damn, I lost it!If Li Fanfan hadn't yelled so loudly, maybe he could have heard more information.

Qiu Luo searched anxiously for a while at the fork in the road, and finally had to give up, planning to go back home and figure out a solution later.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he suddenly found three or four bodyguards in black behind him.

"Boy, are you sneaking around and following our young master?"

Qiu Luo's heart sank suddenly, these bodyguards were not her original bodyguards!When did they all get replaced?

He frowned, showing an inexplicable expression: "I don't understand what you are talking about. I just want to go home from school. Where can I go if I don't go here? Your family runs the school? Can't I go this way?"

The two bodyguards looked at each other, and one of them said in a low voice: "The boy is quite arrogant, I warn you, our young master is not someone like you who can get close, so don't make bad ideas."

As he said that, the man looked down at Qiu Luo's slightly childish face contemptuously, and stretched out his hand to push his shoulder. Unexpectedly, a kick came flying out suddenly, and with great force, kicked the man ruthlessly!

A hand stretched out like lightning, and firmly strangled the bodyguard's neck. Lin Jinran's knuckles were distinct and powerful, and he almost grabbed the person off the ground, until the veins on the person's neck bulged, and his cheeks flushed with suffocation.

His face was extremely gloomy, and his body was full of violence. He lowered his hoarse voice, and whispered in the man's ear: "Don't touch him, no matter whose dog you are, get out of here!"
