Xuan Shiran returned to the place he had agreed with Elise to meet up, but it took more than half the time to sign up, and Elise was no longer waiting for him here, so Xuan Shiran sighed and went back to the hotel, preparing to accept the criticism.
As soon as I walked up the stairs, I bumped into Elise who had just walked out of the room.
"Haha" Xuan Shiran laughed a few times while standing on the stairs and the eldest lady who looked at him expressionlessly.
"Come back and pull me"
What she didn't expect was that Elise was not as angry as usual, but greeted her very normally and calmly.
While Xuan Shiran was in a daze, Elise lowered her gaze and saw the round playing card exposed in Xuan Shiran's pocket. She couldn't help but frown and quickly calmed down. She raised her eyebrows and asked with a teasing tone: "How?
, have you seen that among the people who signed up, are there women like you who are as crazy as men?"
Xuan Shiran's body froze, and the expression on her face also stiffened. Looking at Elise's already known black eyes, she stiffly turned her face away and laughed unnaturally. It turned out that this big man
Miss already knows
However, she seemed to have not seen any other women sign up for this treasure hunt competition.
"You can tell by the look on your face." Elise sighed softly, feeling helpless, "You want to be a captain, but you don't have the look of a captain. I really don't know why we chose you to be the captain of our group in the first place. It's always delayed.
harm us”
Please, it was you who sold me, okay? Xuan Shiran cursed in his heart.
"Why, do you still have any dissatisfaction?" Elise stared sharply at Xuan Shiran who was muttering something aside.
"No, no" Xuan Shiran forced a smile, and then shook his head vigorously.
"I'm sorry you don't dare," Elise snorted coldly, and walked past Xuan Shiran without saying anything else, and then walked down the stairs.
Xuan Shiran blinked in confusion, then turned around and called Elise, "Elise, where are you going?"
"Buy materials." Elise replied without stopping or looking back, and then her figure disappeared at the gate.
She was so busy! Seeing Elise leave, Xuan Shiran couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and broke into a cold sweat. Fortunately, Elise didn't stop her from participating in the competition, nor did she pull her to leave the Imperial City immediately.
So she turned back and walked down the corridor and then into her room
…
The night is dark tonight, as if the sky has been heavily smeared with thick ink, the glimmer of stars is buried by the clouds, and the moonlight that slants into the room is also dim.
Xuan Shiran was lying on the bed, breathing quietly and falling into a deep sleep. Suddenly, the beautiful eyebrows on his peaceful sleeping face suddenly wrinkled, and then his eyes suddenly opened.
Xuan Shiran woke up from her dream and curled up with a pain like peeling off a cocoon. At this moment, she felt that her body was disintegrating layer by layer. The pain from her back that penetrated straight into her heart made her turn over. Her pale face had already
The pain was so painful that a pair of red eyes that were particularly dazzling in the dark room were undulating with huge fluctuations.
Xuan Shiran groaned in pain, covering his chest that was so painful that he was about to suffocate with both hands, and gritted his teeth tightly.
Here it comes again, this bone-deep pain tormenting her without warning again. Just like the teacher said before, her body has undergone tremendous changes since she left the castle and probably came to the academy. Her chest
Stinging pain from time to time, difficulty breathing occasionally, and even some hallucinations often appearing in front of my eyes. I originally thought this might be an adverse reaction caused by excessive use of force.
but……
【Jier】
Taking the opportunity to break into her mind, the plain but gentle male voice sounded again.
【Jier, I really want to see you】
Xuan Sheran looked forward with difficulty. The white curtain on the arched window was fluttering by the blowing wind. When it fell again, there was an ethereal man beside him.
it's him!
That was the hallucination that often appeared in front of her eyes. If there was a dispensable shadow, it would follow her and appear in front of her eyes.
It was a tall and handsome man with long red hair and a red robe. His face was obscured by his hair so that no one could see clearly, but the only thing that could be seen clearly was the curved red lips.
is a smile full of danger but attractiveness
He stood there without taking a step forward. He just stood in the distance and faced her, seeming to be looking at her. He kept calling "Jier" softly in his mouth. Xuan Shiran just looked at the figure at a distance.
Who is it, why does he appear in front of her, and why does he keep calling her name "Jier"?
【Jier】
[Jier, come here, I’ll wait for you here]
【Jier, I've been waiting for you】
[Jier, hurry up, hurry up]
【Jier】
Xuan Shiran couldn't bear the sound that lingered in his ears, holding his ears with both hands and shouting, "That's enough, don't bother me anymore, I'm not Xuan Ji, I'm Xuan Shiran."
As soon as the words fell, the surroundings suddenly became quiet and only Xuan Shiran's rapid breathing could be heard. The phantom of the man by the window disappeared, and the pain on Xuan Shiran's body also disappeared. She felt a sense of weakness and spread her hands to look at the blank space.
ceiling
The pair of violently fluctuating red eyes gradually returned to their original amber color as her breathing calmed down.
The stagnant time began to flow again, and Xuan Shiran was so tired that he slowly closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
