Chi Han felt as if he was being tightly wrapped by something heavy, as if his nerves had been severed. He could clearly feel his body, but he couldn't even lift a finger.

so heavy...

I don't know how long it took, and in the groggy, finally a ray of light came in.

He moved his eyelids vigorously and opened them.

"Master Chi...Master Chi..."

"Uncle Wu?"

Chi Han half-opened his eyes and opened his mouth, only to feel that his throat was sticky and dry and sore.

"I want to drink water..."

He thought he had spoken a complete sentence, but in the eyes of Butler Wu, he just opened his mouth and made a few breathy sounds.

The butler looked at the pale and dry lips, and asked quickly, "Do you want some water?"

Seeing Chi Han nodding, the housekeeper immediately took the warm water that had been left to dry, and put a straw in it.

Chi Han drank several sips in a row before he felt that his throat that was about to smoke was much better. He waved his hand and looked up the infusion set on the back of his hand.

"This is the needle given to you by the family doctor called by Mrs. Chi. Don't dare to move it. After infusing this bottle of salt water, the fever will be reduced."

Chi Han seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and coughed anxiously, and managed to catch his breath. He grabbed the butler's sleeve.

"Uncle Wu, what time is it?! Is it already past three o'clock!"

The curtains in the room were drawn tightly, only one bedside lamp was on, and it was impossible to tell what time it was.

He remembered that he arrived home at eleven o'clock in the evening. If it was morning, he would still be able to catch up with Rong Xu's house!

The butler was taken aback by Chi Han who suddenly became agitated. He pushed the man back and said anxiously: "Young master, you have a needle in your hand! You can't move your hand!"

The housekeeper took a closer look at his hands. Fortunately, there were no needles. After covering the quilt properly, he smiled and said to Chi Han:

"It's eleven o'clock in the evening. Tomorrow is the weekend. Don't worry about the school. You haven't eaten all day. I'm cooking porridge below. Sit down and have a drink?"

"It's already eleven o'clock..."

Chi Han murmured in a low voice.

He made an appointment with Rong Xu at three o'clock in the afternoon, and he said that he would first take Rong Xu to the shopping mall outside to buy cakes, birthday hats, lanterns, and snacks that Rong Xu liked to eat.

It is too late now.

Chi Han reached out to find his cell phone, but found that he didn't have Rong Xu's phone number. He wanted to make a call to the head teacher, but hung up quickly a second before dialing.

What's the use of getting Rong Xu's phone number?

Explain to him why you released his pigeons?

Chi Han closed his eyes and calmed his bewildered head. He knew how much Rong Xu expected for today's birthday.

After a whole night of nervous anticipation, the result was that he was still alone. This feeling of gap was even more uncomfortable.

"Uncle Wu..."

The butler looked back, and saw that his young master was leaning on the cushions and shrouded in warm light. His eyes, which were originally full of vitality, were now full of tiredness. Coupled with his pale complexion, there was a fragile sense of pity.

Chi Han coughed twice, but his voice was as steady as usual.

"After the bottle of salt water is finished, send me somewhere."

The housekeeper frowned immediately after hearing this, but Chi Han was determined to go, and finally the two of them took a step back.

Chi Han had to finish half a bowl of porridge before he could go.

It was already [-]:[-] when we arrived downstairs at Rong Xu's house. Chi Han wrapped his clothes tightly and rang the doorbell of the small villa.

After waiting for almost 5 minutes, someone opened the door. It was a sleepy middle-aged man with annoyance that his sleep was disturbed.

"who are you?"

Chi Han tugged on his mask, hiding the anxiety in his eyes: "Hi, I'm Rong Xu's classmate, I promised to come and help him celebrate his birthday today, but I'm late, Rong Xu is... okay now ?”

The man was startled, and looked at Chi Han thoughtfully for a few moments. After a while, his eyes were a little weird and he said to himself: "I said, why is he so active today..."

"Okay, come in, and save him from going crazy in the middle of the night tonight."

The man went in after speaking, pointed to a certain room on the second floor, and left with a yawn.

It looked like he was going back to sleep!

Can a stranger in the family be so relieved? !

Chi Han gave the man a cold look, turned around and ran to the second floor.

He doesn't care about other things now, he just hopes to say "Happy Birthday" to Rong Xu before twelve o'clock.

The row on the second floor is full of rooms, and the doors are tightly closed.

The man just pointed out the general idea, and Chi Han could only knock on them one by one.

When he reached the penultimate room, there was the sound of something breaking inside, Chi Han paused, and knocked on the door lightly:

"Rong Xu...Rong Xu...? Are you in there? I'm Chi Han!"

But after that noise, there was no movement inside.

Chi Han looked at the time, gritted his teeth and pushed open the door.

It's 5 minutes to midnight.

"Then I'm coming in..." Chi Han walked in slowly, the room was pitch black, his eyes widened and his pupils dilated, trying to find the ceiling light switch.

"Shoot."

His fingertips scratched something in the darkness, and the thing lightly grazed his fingertips and fell from the side.

Something seemed to rub against the calf and instep as well.

Chi Han pursed his lips and covered his back with a layer of cold sweat. What he was most afraid of were those strange things in the dark.

So he never watched ghost movies.

"Rong Xu..."

Chi Han froze his body pretending to be calm, and rubbed his fingertips slightly across the wall, groping for the position of the switch.

"Don't scare me, I'm most afraid of the dark."

Just when Chi Han was about to turn around and go out, the lights in the room suddenly turned on, and all the strangely shaped objects were fully exposed.

It was a balloon with streamers tied to the ground, and ribbons and colored paper pasted all over the wall.

The whole room is filled with various bright colors, like a well-prepared surprise party.

But the protagonist of this birthday, at this moment, is sitting silently in the corner alone, obviously in the colorful balloons, but gray is all over his surroundings.

Chi Han curled up his fingers, and the corners of his eyes were red.

In what mood did Rong Xu arrange all this slowly by himself in the afternoon?

"Rong Xu... happy birthday..."

With a hoarse voice, Chi Han walked towards Rong Xu through countless balloon ribbons.

He saw Rong Xu raise his head slowly, his eyes were extremely dark.

The light lit by Chi Han was extinguished.
