"Yin Zi will be back in the evening at the latest."
"But... the money never came back."
Su Youjin subconsciously pursed her lips. Because she was too vigorous, her already light lip color turned a little pale.
"I've been looking here over and over again."
"I even searched the entire campus more than once."
"I've searched every classroom."
...
In just three days, Su Youjin didn't relax for a moment, and she didn't even sleep well. She could only close her eyes when she was extremely tired.
But he always wakes up.
Her rapid breathing caused slight pain to spread in her chest.
…
Originally, the glass door of the dormitory balcony would be locked every night, but these days, Su Youjin deliberately left it unlocked.
Faced with her roommate's doubts, she explained that the indoor air was too stuffy.
In fact, she was worried that Yinzi would be locked out of the room when he came back.
…
On such a cold day, she always stood on the balcony, staying there all night.
Watching the sky turn white.
The cold sky was like her obscure mood.
It was snowing heavily, and the worries in her eyes were layer upon layer, like the dark bottom of the water, with no light able to penetrate.
…
"But no, no silver was found anywhere."
Su Youjin tilted her head slightly, and half of her face fell into the dim sky, making it difficult to see her expression at the moment.
Her voice was suppressed and restrained.
Speak slowly one word at a time.
But it makes people's hearts heavy for no reason.
…
Xiao Xiao looked at Su Youjin quietly for a while without saying anything.
He knew that what Su Youjin needed now was not comfort.
Because that is both pale and unhelpful.
All she could think about was the return of the money.
She just hopes that the money will come back.
…
Xiao Xiao walked around the glass greenhouse and looked around it again.
The night was dark, but it didn't have a great impact on Xiao Xiao.
Besides, there are lights in the greenhouse.
The warm halo slowly spread, illuminating the world.
…
But, nothing was gained.
Xiao Xiao did not find other strange monster auras.
Of course, it's also possible that it's been too long and the demonic energy has dissipated.
After all, he was only vaguely aware of Yinzi's aura because he knew it had indeed come.
Or it may just be a psychological effect.
…
"Su Youjin... let's take a walk around here."
Originally Xiao Xiao wanted Su Youjin to go back first, but now the night is dark and the chill is overwhelming.
Moreover, Xiao Xiao frowned. Su Youjin had a fair and translucent complexion, so the blue and black color under her eyes became more and more vivid, which was a bit "shocking".
Obviously, Su Youjin should not have had much rest since she discovered that the money was missing three days ago.
He wanted her to go back and rest early.
However, as soon as he called out his name, he couldn't help but slowly swallow back the words he wanted to say.
Because Su Youjin turned around, her deep and cold eyes, even though she tried to remain calm, still had ripples spreading out, and little fluorescent lights shining in them.
Just looking at him directly, with hope and urgency that maybe I didn't even know.
Xiao Xiao stared back silently for a while, knowing that maybe if he insisted, Su Youjin would go back to the dormitory, but... wouldn't rest.
She should rather spend her time looking for silver.
Therefore, he finally kept Su Youjin.
…
"good."
Su Youjin's face brightened, and her amber eyes faded a little from the darkness.
"Thank you, Master Xiao."
Su Youjin thanked her seriously.
It's already evening, and it gets dark earlier in winter.
At this point, if it weren't for the street lights, it would be almost impossible to see.
It snowed on and off throughout the day today. Although the snow has stopped now, the cold air makes breathing painful.
Every time I took a breath, I felt a stinging sensation like a sharp knife scraping my throat.
It wasn't until she finished the call that Su Youjin realized that she had called Master Xiao for help at such an inopportune time?!
...
However, even though she was very sorry, even though she was very uneasy, when she thought about the missing money, Su Youjin did not regret making this call.
Even if she is given another chance, she will still make this call.
The longer time passed, the more worried she became about what might happen to Yinzi.
She couldn't calm down at all.
…
Yinzi has always been well-behaved and sensible, and never does anything that worries her.
She was afraid that the reason why the money didn't come back was because... it had no way to come back.
She shook her head vigorously, maybe the silver was only temporarily trapped.
The money must be waiting for her somewhere.
...
Although Yinzi was always very well-behaved in front of her, she knew that his temper was actually not very good.
Therefore, she had to take the money home quickly.
Before Yinzi gets angry.
….
"Really thank you very much."
Su Youjin lowered her eyes and murmured her thanks again.
The slender neck is slightly curved, outlining fragile yet elegant lines, and the curly hair falls from both sides of the cheeks, revealing a bit of quiet beauty.
It was her willfulness.
Ever since she was little, she has never wanted to trouble others too much.
She can do it all on her own.
After all, her grandparents are old and her so-called parents are never around her.
The only one she can rely on is herself.
…
She has been doing very well.
Her excellence is obvious to all.
Her independence is amazing.
She was proud and even a little arrogant.
…
She is actually not used to asking for help.
In other words, as she grew older, she had not asked anyone for help for a long time.
So, after discovering that the money was missing, she searched all over the huge campus alone.
She was very tired, but what made her even more unbearable was the panic that was growing in her heart and threatening to get out of control.
However, in the face of other people's concern, she still subconsciously assumed her usual posture: elegant, cold, and thoughtful.
Even though she was unapproachable, there was never anything reprehensible in her words and deeds.
…
However, there is really no other way.
She discovered for the first time, no, it must be the second time that she discovered her own powerlessness.
She thought she was strong enough.
Reality poured bitter cold water on her.
…
For the first time, facing the threat of death, she could only fight like a trapped beast, determined to fight to the death, so tragically and embarrassingly.
This time, the money disappeared, but she didn't even know where to look for it.
Only then did she realize that Yinzi, who had been with her until now, and the unbreakable bond she thought they had, was actually so fragile.
She tried her best to regain this bond, but found that everything was in vain.
She was becoming increasingly powerless.
…
"Su Youjin."
Such a proud and dazzling girl is not suitable for such a decadent temperament.
"Let's go find the silver."
Xiao Xiao smiled lightly, the light in his eyes was warm and determined.
