Xiyan suddenly opened one eye, "Can you sing a song to help sleep?"
It seems I’ve never heard Ou Jue sing before.
Ou Jue: "......"
"Co on, co on." Xiyan said coquettishly.
"......"
Xiyan turned over, "If you won’t sing, then forget it."
Ou Jue sighed helplessly, "Alright, I’ll sing."
He pulled Xiyan back into his arms, and his deep voice sang, like an electric lullaby.
"You wipe away loneliness, wipe it all away, erase it all.
Comfort you, hold you, lull you to sleep.
Your smile is my treasure.
From today until forever.
Never will I tire..."
Hmm, this seems to be the first ti hearing Ou Jue sing.
Really nice to listen to.
Like a room with the lights off, an elegant cello playing softly.
Moreover, moreover...
This deep voice singing really has a hypnotic effect.
Within five minutes, Xiyan was completely asleep.
Listening to the girl’s even breathing, Ou Jue looked down at the girl in his arms and couldn’t resist pinching her little nose, "Silly little pig."
Getting him to sing, he certainly expects a reward.
As for what kind of reward...
Ou Jue’s eyes slowly lowered.
-
After Xiyan woke up, she felt her lips were a bit numb.
Strange.
She rely took a nap, what happened?
She turned her head to glance at Ou Jue.
He had also fallen asleep at so point, breathing evenly.
Was I overthinking it?
Xiyan shrugged, got out of bed, and walked out of the ward.
She intended to buy two drinks from the vending machine.
Just as she reached the lobby, she heard a familiar voice.
"Xiyan."
Turning her head, she saw Anna standing behind her, wearing a beige trench coat.
Uh, Xiyan held the two drinks, unsure of how to greet her.
Although she hadn’t liked Anna before, all those things, including Ou Jue being hypnotized, Lisa’s entire conspiracy.
It was all Anna who told her.
And besides... Anna had been that way before because she was hypnotized by Lisa.
Anna, holding a fruit basket, walked up and asked in a low voice, "Are you still... mad at ?"
Xiyan didn’t answer directly, just shrugged, "Are you here to see Ou Jue? Then co with ."
"I heard he had a car accident, is he alright?" Anna quickly explained, "Don’t misunderstand, I’ve never really liked him from start to finish..."
Xiyan: "It’s nothing serious."
"Seeing you is enough, I won’t go up." Anna said, handing the fruit basket to Xiyan.
Xiyan instinctively took it.
"Well, I’ll be going then." Anna said, turning and running off.
It wasn’t until she ran out of the hospital that she stopped.
She thought for a mont, then made a phone call.
On the other end, Lisa’s voice ca through, "Hello?"
Anna steadied her breath with effort.
Actually, it was only after realizing she didn’t really like Ou Jue, just that she started doubting everything after being hypnotized by Lisa.
Funny enough, she t Lisa two months ago in Ro while traveling.
Both were solo travelers, and they hit it off from the start.
The decision to co to Hua Country later was at Lisa’s suggestion.
Thinking about it now... she probably fell into Lisa’s trap from the ti in Ro.
And now, Lisa is using Disguise Technique to elude capture.
Perhaps, only she could lure Lisa out.
Lisa asked again since Anna wasn’t speaking, "Why did you suddenly call then? Did sothing major happen?"
This phone number Lisa recently set up, and she had repeatedly warned Anna not to contact her unless it was extrely urgent.
"Yes." Anna gripped the phone nervously, "I want to et you. There’s sothing important to discuss."
Lisa squinted, "Why do you suddenly want to see out of the blue?"
"Because things can’t keep going like this. The last plan failed, and now Ou Jue and Xiyan are back to how they used to be, growing closer together. How can I accept that!"
True enough.
Hard to clarify things clearly over the phone.
Lisa thought for a while, "I’m just worried that Ou Jue might have people lurking around you, monitoring your movents, and if I give away my address, what if Ou Jue’s people trail you?"
"They won’t." Anna quickly responded, "I’ll be more cautious."
After thinking it over, Lisa finally said, "Alright, don’t hang up, I’ll guide you step by step on how to get here. If you notice anyone following you, let know imdiately so I can make a quick escape, and you can deny everything later."
Why is Lisa so crafty?
Anna felt a little panicked.
Because if she doesn’t send the address, she can’t inform Xiyan and the others beforehand.
But matters had progressed this far, there was no turning back for her.
Otherwise, it would only arouse Lisa’s suspicion.
Thinking of this, Anna bit her lower lip, "Okay."
"Tell your current location."
Anna ntioned a place.
Lisa opened the map on her computer and guided Anna step by step.
Following her directions, turning left and right, Anna entered a complex web of old alleyways.
Twisting and turning, she finally stopped in front of a three-story building.
Squawk... Squawk...
A crow cawed hoarsely in the distance.
A bit intimidating.
Two thuggish-looking n stood guard at the entrance, eyeing Anna up and down.
Lisa ca running down the stairs, "You made it?"
From hanging up the call to standing before her, seamless with no gap whatsoever.
Anna had no way to send out Lisa’s current location.
She could only act nonchalant, "Yeah, why are you living in such a place?"
She wore a disguise today, looked completely different from before, almost like another person.
"Ou Jue was closing in on . Luckily, he doesn’t know what I look like after the disguise, or I would’ve been caught by his people by now."
Anna forced a stiff smile as she discreetly thumbed her phone, "Lisa, you’re so good to , truly my best friend."
