the depths of that autumn

When his breath completely covered me, he softly left a word in my ear: "I will see you off in three days." Then he disappeared...

The sense of oppression disappeared, but his aura still lingered for a long time...

I suddenly felt sleepy, so I closed my eyes to calm down...

After 1 minute, just as I was dragging my tired body and wanted to wash and rest, my mobile phone rang...

The caller ID was Lin Xi, and my feeling of fear chilled my heart, so I quickly answered, "Hello?"

Lin Xi's voice over there was extremely kind: "Where are you?"

"I'm at home." I sat on the sofa and leaned back to talk to her...

She seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said, "Where did you think you were going? I didn't see you when I opened the store..."

I didn't understand what she said. Could it be that she was in the store, so I asked, "Are you in the store?"

"Yeah! I came over as soon as I went to self-study, but I didn't see you!"

I was a little surprised, the store was still open when the devil took me away!But her "only" made me a little puzzled, so I asked, "Are you alone in the store?"

"What! My father and my sister are both here!"

I was more and more surprised, but gradually became clear...

Lin Xi continued: "When I came here, I saw them there, and when I asked them, they said they didn't see you..."

Dad Lin usually doesn't go to the store at night, what happened today... I asked again: "Why did your dad go?"

"What are you talking about!" Lin Xi said, "Leave my sister alone to look after the store. There are more and more customers, and I can't get through to you. It's unfortunate that my dad came to pick up things, so I'm here to help..."

I understood that it turned out that everything was just the hands and feet of the devil, and the purpose was to see me alone, but I still asked for peace of mind: "Is your cousin's child not sick?"

As expected, Lin Xi looked very surprised: "Who is sick? Who did you listen to?"

I can only go back: "Oh, that's my memory." Then I lied and explained, "I suddenly felt unwell, so I came back, I'm sorry..."

"What are you sorry for! Are you okay?" Lin Xi was suddenly nervous and concerned.

"It's okay, I took the medicine, I feel better, and I'm going to sleep."

"Yeah." Lin Xi felt a little relieved, "You are usually in poor health, you should pay attention to rest, if you don't want to come here tomorrow, don't come here! Then you rest, I won't tell you, there are many guests, and you are a bit busy."

"Yeah." I smiled and hung up the phone.

The sense of relaxation made my body feel more and more sleepy, and I fell asleep after washing and sticking to the bed. That night, I experienced deep sleep for the first time...

The next day, the high autumn air in the mountains woke me up. I felt energetic after getting up for the first time, so I was in a good mood. After washing up and having breakfast, I sat on a bench in the corridor wrapped in a coat, looking at the mountains in the distance, and fell into deep thought ...

I'm thinking about why I'm leaving...

I always have to find a reason to make it clear to Lin Xi that in three days, I will fulfill the contract with the devil and go to another world. Even if I fail, I will not suffer any loss or change, but who can predict the world?I always want to make Lin Xi feel at ease, and also let myself have no worries...

It was also on that morning that Lin Xi decided to resign...

She and I both knew that that incident was just a trigger, causing her long-accumulated grievances and resentments to explode, and finally dared to throw the resignation letter on the principal's face...

On the phone, I listened to her story and understood what happened...
