Chapter 285 285:【Until death do us part】Moth flies into the flame
Xu Taotao didn't know how long she stared there frozen.
But the embroidered shoes don't seem to move.
Xu Taotao didn't know where she got the courage. She stood up carefully while covering her violently beating heart.
She stared at the corridor without blinking, but as she stood up, her vision gradually moved up.
When she passed the railing and her view became wider, she didn't see anyone.
As if it was just her illusion.
Xu Taotao couldn't tell what she was feeling, but surprisingly, her depressed emotions came out.
So she simply stood up, patted the leaves on her body, looked around, climbed over the railing, and left.
But she didn't know where she was going, mainly because she didn't want to go back to her room.
Xu Taotao wandered around the yard for a while, and it was completely dark.
The winter night was still very cold, and she shivered.
After turning around, she went to the main hall.
There is only one maid on duty here.
When the maid saw Xu Taotao, she bowed.
Xu Taotao ignored it, walked around aimlessly and walked behind the screen.
Today, even if I stand here and look at the people outside, I can't actually see very clearly. I can only see their figures clearly.
Xu Taotao didn't really dislike the other person's thinness, she just simply hated looking at each other and hated getting married.
She felt that her idea was a bit rebellious.
Which woman in this world doesn’t get married?
But she was unstoppable. Such thoughts spread and grew as fast as weeds.
Xu Taotao looked outside through the screen.
There were only a few dim candles inside the room, and it was impossible to see the people outside clearly.
There was an inexplicable sadness in her heart.
Just across this screen, I have to choose my life.
She felt really frightened.
Suddenly, a light seemed to be approaching.
Xu Taotao was stunned.
"Zhu Yun?" She tried calling the name of the maid on duty outside.
"What's wrong, miss?"
Zhu Yun's voice sounded from the side door.
She was standing there from the beginning.
Xu Taotao stared at the approaching light source outside the screen, where there was a figure.
There was no candle beside her, the candle was lit from in front of her, so it must be a figure in front of her.
But Zhu Yun is at the side door, so who is this?
"No...it's okay..." Xu Taotao said and swallowed.
Her heartbeat accelerated again, and her whole body was in an inexplicable excitement.
She felt that she should be afraid, but strangely, she did not feel afraid, but instead felt a strange trembling feeling.
Maybe it was because she felt that her life could be seen through at a glance, and the incredible things that were happening now made her peaceful life like stagnant water a little more turbulent.
If... if there is something special in this world...
Then she, is it possible that she will choose another life because of being exposed to these things?
Even if a moth flies into the flame?
Moths fly to the flame because they see the light, but as for her, she can't see where her own light is.
Xu Taotao stared at the figure in front of him for a long time, and then stretched out his hand.
She pushed the screen away.
But there was no one in front of me.
Xu Taotao took two steps forward with some disappointment.
The earrings fell to the ground with a "ding" sound. She glanced at them, ignored them, and walked around the room again.
"Miss, what are you looking for? Do you need a slave to help you find it?" Zhu Yun asked.
"No need." Xu Taotao refused, feeling very disappointed.
Why can't she always see it? Is it because she has no eyes open in her mortal body now? I heard that if you want to see these things, you must have a special physique or be in a specific environment.
Unfortunately, she couldn't tell others about it.
Something had happened at home, and the Chinese New Year was approaching. If her parents found out that she had seen something dirty, she might really be finished.
"Miss!" Biyun came over.
"Miss, you are here. Come back to your room with me and rest."
Xu Taotao was silent for a moment, she didn't want to go back.
"Hey, miss, madam is too worried about you. After all, if something happens to the master, our family may collapse."
As Biyun said this, he wanted to help Xu Taotao away.
Xu Taotao pushed her away forcefully.
Biyun felt very surprised.
"Miss?"
"Don't touch me, I don't want to go back! My dad is not awake yet, wait until he wakes up!"
Xu Taotao said and walked out through the side door.
Biyun followed.
"Then do you want to go to the master and madam's room? That's fine, I'll go with you. It's getting dark, so don't kowtow!"
Xu Taotao did not refuse this time.
Although she still didn't want to go back and face her mother, after all, she was worried about something going wrong with her father.
There is also a corridor outside the side door, and you can reach your parents' room by turning two turns.
But after taking two steps, she suddenly remembered something and said, "Did I lose my earring?"
Biyun was stunned for a moment, looked at her ears carefully, and nodded.
"One fell down."
"Then go and find it for me. It's new. My mother just made it for me. See if it fell on the other side of the screen."
"Then Miss, you..."
"Give me the light and I'll go to my mother's house. You can come over and find me later."
Biyun nodded, handed the lamp to her, and then retraced her steps to find the earrings.
Xu Taotao didn't know why she breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not that she has any problem with Biyun, she just doesn't want anyone around her.
There is an airtight and depressing feeling.
Xu Taotao glanced at the lantern in her hand, and then walked towards her parents' room.
When I walked to the corner, a gust of wind blew over me.
Xu Taotao shuddered and rubbed her arms.
When his fingertips passed by his side, he seemed to touch something.
She was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked to her side.
There was no one there.
But just now she really felt as if she had touched something, as if she had touched someone else's sleeve and been blocked.
Is there someone who is always by your side?
