"You can go." Mingzhu stretched out her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, her hoarse voice revealing her stubbornness, "What happened back then had nothing to do with my godmother. It was just my fault. I don't need you to make up for my guilt! Ling Xi, go!"
Ling Xi's body froze. Compared to Xiao Zimo's words to drive him away, Mingzhu's every word at this moment seemed like a knife stabbing his heart!
"Mingzhu..." His thin lips trembled for a long time but he didn't know what to say. How to explain the thoughts of those young people?
"Ling Xi, I don't need your sympathy, and I don't need you to compensate me like this!" Mingzhu clenched her fingers secretly, obviously feeling sad, she could only pretend not to be sad, just like when she was a child and knew that her father was not her father.
, knowing that you can't see it, pretending that nothing happened, pretending that everything is fine.
"Their entanglements of the previous generation have nothing to do with us. You are only sixteen years old and still very young. What you need is to be taken care of and protected, not to make compensation for your godmother." Mingzhu spoke calmly, with a dull look in his eyes.
Wandering in the air never landed on his face, and finally lowered his head in defeat, facing the quilt, "Tai Tai, to me, you are the only brother I want to truly love, no matter how long, you will always be. So, don't wait any longer.
Give up the last warmth in my heart, okay?"
Ling Xi didn't quite understand the meaning of her words, but the sad aura on her face made her heartstrings tugged hard, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.
There was no longer any sparkle of laughter in her peach blossom eyes, and the corners of her eyes were slightly moist. Her handsome face was now full of sadness and sorrow, but she couldn't see it and didn't know anything.
"I know." Ling Xi pursed her lips, her voice choked, and stood silently in front of the hospital bed. Her outstretched hand was only the thickness of a piece of paper away from her cheek. She froze in mid-air but still didn't know what to do.
How to touch her, she is so close yet so far away.
I don’t know how to touch it, let alone how to pull away.
Mingzhu, I want to do something for my mother, for you. I am approaching you with a purpose, but don’t you feel how I feel about you at all...
Don’t you really feel a little bit——
I like you.
Mingzhu didn't hear Ling Xi's footsteps or his words or breathing. When she slowly raised her head, Ling Xi's hand suddenly pulled away and fell weakly by her side.
His dim eyes slowly moved away from her cheek, and she turned around and stumbled out of the ward in despair.
Mingzhu heard the messy footsteps and the soft closing of the door, and the "squeaking" sound was like a hammer hitting her heart hard, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
Tears fell silently again, and this time she didn't even notice it.
Sorry, wait.
Actually I'm not angry, I really am not angry with you.
only--
Warm and beautiful you, you should not stay by my side, and you should not look at the darkness that is opposite to you.
He lowered his head slowly, and his tears silently dripped on the quilt one by one, soaking a large area. He was whimpering and choking like a wounded little beast, helpless and desperate.
Sadness and darkness are everywhere.
*****
Xi Mo stood at the door of the ward and opened the door without making any sound. Maybe she was crying too sadly so she didn't notice.
The curled-up ball was reflected in his eyes, with a balance of gloom and distress sliding through his eyes. His strong and powerful fingers clenched the cold metal, and the veins on his hands were looming. The sound penetrated his bones.
Ling Xi held a very special and important position in her heart. He didn't like this, he didn't like that she had other people in her heart besides herself.
He stood there for a long time and never disturbed her sadness and sorrow at the moment. He just let her be sad this time. After Ling Xi left, everything would be fine.
Mingzhu only suffered a bruise on her forehead. She underwent a detailed physical examination and found no problems. The doctor signed her approval for discharge after being hospitalized for three days.
Xi Mo stayed with her in the hospital for three days and then went to work on the wedding after picking her up from the hospital. Although he found a wedding company, he still wanted to do more for the once-in-a-lifetime wedding to avoid regrets.
Mingzhu woke up from her nap and went downstairs slowly. Now everyone in the family was frightened because of her injury. She didn't want Xiao Zimo to blame them anymore, so she could only be careful to avoid getting hurt again.
"Miss, you're awake, are you hungry? There are some biscuits I just made in the kitchen, would you like some?" Sister-in-law Rong said kindly.
Mingzhu nodded, "Okay, are there any more strawberry yogurt?"
"Strawberry yogurt?" Sister-in-law Rong was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly: "Yes, Miss, if you want some, I'll get it right away."
Mingzhu was sitting at the dining table eating afternoon tea. The biscuits made by Rong's sister-in-law were always delicious. She touched Ling Xi's favorite strawberry yogurt with her finger and took a hesitant sip. Her delicate brows immediately frowned.
"What's wrong? Doesn't it taste good?" Sister-in-law Rong asked with concern.
Mingzhu pursed her thin lips and smiled lightly, "It's too sweet." She didn't like eating too sweet things a long time ago.
Wait, you are still a child after all.
"I'm going to change the juice for Miss." Sister-in-law Rong said and turned around to leave.
"Change to coffee, the kind Momo usually drinks."
Sister-in-law Rong stopped and said, "Miss, drinking coffee is not good for your health."
"It's just a sip once in a while, it's nothing serious."
Sister-in-law Rong hesitated for a while before nodding in agreement, and went to the kitchen to make Mingzhu a cup of coffee that Xi Mo usually drank. The coffee beans originate from Italy, are freshly ground and brewed, and have a mellow aroma.
"Be careful of scalding." Sister-in-law Rong carefully placed the coffee cup in her hand and held her by the cup's ear.
Mingzhu lowered her head and smelled the faint bitter fragrance. She puffed her mouth slightly and frowned even more. The bitter liquid slid through her mouth and lingered on her lips and teeth. When she swallowed it, it was like poison in her throat, but it was rare after the bitter taste.
There is a hint of sweet fragrance remaining in the mouth.
"Miss, don't drink it if you're afraid of bitterness." Sister-in-law Rong said with concern, "Mr. Lan likes to drink black coffee. This one doesn't have sugar or milk. How terrible it is to drink."
"It's okay." Mingzhu smiled nonchalantly, then took a sip and tasted it carefully between her lips and teeth.
The servant came in from outside holding a box, "Sister-in-law Rong, someone just sent a courier, it's for the lady."
Sister-in-law Rong looked at the box, which was wrapped in exquisite wrapping paper and tied with a bright red ribbon with a beautiful bow. "Miss, do you want me to help you unpack your express delivery?"
"Express delivery?" Mingzhu slowly put down the cup, "Who sent it?" Could it be waiting?
"I don't know, I didn't write the name." Sister-in-law Rong asked someone to put the box on the table and looked at it carefully, "The packaging is quite beautiful and delicate."
"Is it the pink packaging?"
"The wrapping paper is pink and the ribbon is bright red."
Mingzhu stood up and walked slowly to Sister-in-law Rong's side, facing the box, her eyes filled with soft light, "Could it be Tai Tai? Tai Tai likes pink the most, right?"
"Yes!" Sister-in-law Rong nodded, she had never seen a boy who liked pink more than Ling Xi.
"I'll open it myself." Mingzhu's eyes widened. If it was a gift waiting to be sent to her, she would definitely open it with her own hands.
Sister-in-law Rong stood aside and did not stop her. It was rare to see that the young lady was in a good mood.
Mingzhu fumbled and tore open the ribbon and the wrapping paper. She felt the tape end under Sister Rong's hand and gently tore it open. She opened the box with both hands. She was still thinking about what gift to give herself later.
The moment the small box was opened, all the blood drained from Rong's face and she was so trembling that she couldn't even speak.
Mingzhu hadn't noticed anything strange yet, so she reached out and touched inside, "What is it? Sister-in-law Rong?"
"Little, little, Miss..." Sister-in-law Rong's lips were trembling, and she wanted to hold Mingzhu's hand, but her body was so stiff that she refused to obey her orders.
Mingzhu's hand slowly went into the box...
Lianlian had just come downstairs and her eyes fell on Sister Rong's pale face. When she saw Mingzhu's hand reaching for the box, she immediately started running and screamed: "No..."
Mingzhu was startled and before she could react, her hand was snatched away by Lianlian and she was pushed back. She staggered back a few steps and almost fell to the ground. She had no idea what happened.
"Hiss." Lian Lian let out a painful sound. Shen Yin looked at the two red teeth marks on his hand, and his innocent eyes looked at the snakes coiled up in the box full of snakes, spitting out red blood, which was eerie and terrifying.
"Ah...snake..." the servant who walked in screamed and ran away in fear.
The snake in the box has begun to crawl out...
Upon hearing [Snake] Mingzhu's face instantly turned pale, her eyelashes trembled slightly, thin beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, and her body was so stiff that she couldn't even move.
Sister-in-law Rong was panicking and speaking incoherently: "What should I do? There are so many snakes..."
"Bring Mingzhu upstairs quickly, is there any sulfur at home?" Lianlian covered her hands, her pure eyes looked at them nervously at this moment, no one could be calm and rational.
Fortunately, I studied medicine with my aunt and once experimented with snakes. From the initial fear, I have calmed down now and am not afraid at all.
"Yes, yes, in, in the kitchen..." Sister-in-law Rong spoke stumblingly.
"Take her upstairs quickly." Lianlian said, already running towards the kitchen.
Sister-in-law Rong reacted and immediately supported Mingzhu, "Miss, come up, go upstairs."
Mingzhu still didn't respond, her face was ashen, and she was almost dragged upstairs by Sister-in-law Rong, stumbling, her clothes were soaked with cold sweat, and she was cold.
The snake in the box crawled out nimbly and moved around, crawling to the sofa, crawling to the kitchen, crawling to the stairs, crawling to the door...
Lianlian rummaged through the cabinets in the kitchen looking for sulfur, and finally found two bottles of sulfur wine, and saw a kitchen knife. She took it out without any hesitation, walked to the door of the kitchen and saw a slender snake. She raised the knife and dropped it, and chopped off the snake's head in a clean and neat motion.
When I saw several snakes crawling towards the stairs, my eyes darkened. I immediately ran over and chopped off the snake's head with a few blows. I immediately sprinkled sulfur wine on the stairs, turned around and quickly went upstairs.
Mingzhu was pushed into the room by Mrs. Rong and fell to the ground, like a soulless puppet, unaware of pain and without any consciousness.
Lianlian immediately sprinkled sulfur wine on the door and window of the room, quickly closed the door and windows, so that no matter how many snakes could crawl into the room.
Looking back at the stunned Sister-in-law Rong, she frowned and said, "Quickly call A Mo and Uncle Xiao and call the police..."
Sister-in-law Rong came to her senses and quickly went to find the phone...
Lianlian's eyes fell on Mingzhu, who was sitting slumped on the ground, and squatted down, "Hey, are you okay?"
Mingzhu's blank mind gradually regained consciousness, and her dark eyes moved towards her little by little, her lips twitching, "Your hand... was bitten by a snake, why?"
"Why do you want to save me?" You shouldn't hate me, so why do you want to help me?
Lian Lian pouted: "Although I don't like you, I don't hate you either! You are the girl A Mo likes. If I hate you, A Mo will feel sad!"
And I don’t want to make Amo sad.
Mingzhu was slightly startled. She always thought that Lianlian was a spoiled little princess, but she didn't expect that her heart was actually transparent and she understood everything. She was just pretending to be confused.
"Sister-in-law Rong called the doctor." Mingzhu was worried about her hands.
"No need." Lianlian quickly refused, her eyes fell on her hand, and she said calmly: "I am a medical student myself, this snake is not poisonous, otherwise I would have died long ago. I will just take care of it myself in a while..."
"No." Mingzhu flatly denied, "Have you never heard of the saying that doctors don't treat themselves?" She insisted on calling the doctor over, otherwise she would not be able to feel at ease.
If Lian Lian was injured in any way, Xiao Zimo would not be able to explain it to the Lan family, and he would not be able to face it himself.
***
Half an hour later, Xiao Zimo and Xi Mo came back at the same time, together with a snake catching expert. They searched the Xiao family's house inside and out, and all the snakes were caught.
Xiao Zimo was worried and ordered people to carefully search the places in the garden where snakes were easily hidden.
Xi Mo saw several snake corpses in the kitchen and at the stairway. His eagle eyes flashed through the cold air, his sword eyebrows furrowed, and he strode upstairs. He opened the door and subconsciously fixed his gaze on Mingzhu. He looked her up and down and still felt uneasy.
asked, "Mingzhu, are you okay? Are you injured anywhere?"
Mingzhu shook her head, "Lianlian saved me, she was bitten by a snake."
Xi Mo's eyes only realized Lianlian at this moment. His dark eyes looked at her and she looked grateful, "Thank you, the doctor is down there. I'll ask him to come up immediately. Everything will be fine."
There was a surge of loneliness in his heart. His attitudes towards himself and Mingzhu were really completely different. Such emotions were not shown on his face, and he smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Smelly Amo, I am your sister! You don't need to be so polite with your sister.
of……"
Xi Mo didn't say anything. He put his hands on Mingzhu's shoulders and found that her body was still shaking. He held her sweaty palms and comforted her in a low voice: "It's okay, all those things have been taken away. That's it.
It won't happen again, don't worry."
Mingzhu shook her head gently, her thin lips pursed in an emotionless arc, unwilling to say anything more.
Xiao Zimo sent the snake catching expert away and ordered people to clean up the villa from top to bottom. He was still very worried and said to Mingzhu: "It's better to move to another place. I still have several properties and the environment is not bad.
"
Mingzhu didn't say anything, but asked the doctor, "Is her hand okay?"
The doctor treated Lianlian's wound and said with relief: "Miss Xiao, don't worry, these snakes are not poisonous, so it's fine. The wound will be healed, there will be no scars and there is no danger."
When Mingzhu heard his words, her face softened slightly, but her heart still felt strange. Lianlian was braver and more capable than her.
Lianlian knew that snakes were not poisonous, but now she could laugh when she heard the doctor say, "I just said it's okay... I didn't read so many medical books in vain."
Xiao Zimo was going to find out where these dirty things came from, but unexpectedly, a dark shadow rolled in at the door like a strong wind. Without saying anything, he stood in front of Lianlian with a gloomy face and a voice full of worry and uneasiness.
"Lianlian, are you okay?"
"Aque?" Lianlian saw Xi Ting's eyes immediately light up, and jumped up like a spring. She put her hands around his neck and said happily: "Aque, why are you here? Haha... I'm fine, I'm fine...
"
Xi Ting and Xi Mo are somewhat similar, except that Xi Mo is more handsome and has a strong black aura, while Xi Ting is calm, masculine, with the warmth of the sun, and has a bit of Lan Yunsheng's youthful temperament
.
Twin brothers, one bright and one dark, nothing out of the ordinary, as if they were natural.
Xi Ting hugged her, with tenderness flowing in his eyes, and gently rubbing her head with his fingers. He was obviously the younger brother, but he had always played the role of the older brother in these years. Who made Lian Lian look as silly as Su Weixi.
"Are you really okay? I got a call as soon as I got off the plane that you were bitten by a snake? Do you want to scare me to death?" His light words of reproach could not hide his doting, and his eyes fell on her being bandaged.
It looked like nothing was wrong with his fingers, so he relaxed the tight string in his heart.
"It's really okay! Don't worry about me like this, okay! If it weren't for siblings, I would have thought you were in love with me!" Lian Lian's laughter was just meant to be teasing, but Xi Mo's eyes flashed with a trace of tension.
Staring at Xi Ting.
Xi Ting's gentle expression was calm, and the loneliness in her eyes flashed away. He pinched the tip of her nose with his fingers and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? If your father finds out, it's time to beat you up again. You have such a narcissistic and passionate problem."
It won’t change for many years.”
Lianlian stuck out her pink tongue and smiled, "He can't bear to hit me! If he hits me, Mommy will fight with him..."
"How come there are so many snakes in a good house?" Xiao Zimo asked Sister Rong coldly. She was in charge of this house. How did she do it?
"Someone sent a package today, saying it was for the young lady. The young lady thought it was from Master Ling and wanted to open it in person, but she didn't expect... she didn't expect..." Sister-in-law Rong was still frightened, but she did
I didn't take good care of the young lady, and I felt very guilty.
"Express delivery?" Xi Mo's eyes darkened and his tone was cold, "Who sent it? And delivered it in?"
The servant standing aside said: "Yes... I signed for it and I sent it in, but I really didn't know that it was, yes, a snake..."
"Don't you know who sent the express?" Xiao Zimo frowned and stared at her with cold eyes.
The servant shook his head, "The person who delivered the express today was very friendly, and the name and address of the sender were all the addresses here."
Xi Ting did not let go of Lian Lian's hand, and looked at each other in understanding with Xi Mo, "It seems like an act of deliberate revenge."
"Revenge - Mingzhu?" Lian Lian asked in confusion.
Xi Ting's eyes fell on Mingzhu Lianlian, and he introduced himself softly: "I am Xi Mo's brother, Lan Xiting. Uncle Xiao, Mingzhu, hello."
Xiao Zimo just nodded as a greeting.
"Mingzhu, have you ever offended anyone?" Xi Ting's face was gentle, but his words were extremely sharp.
