Si Baining searched the castle for a whole day and was not even in the mood to take a sip of water.

In the dark night, he held up a flashlight and walked into a secret room with red eyes that he had never been to before. This secret basement always exuded chilly air, which frightened him and made him feel excited at the same time.

Before that, Si Baining had walked through all the rooms, large and small, before he remembered the magnificent underground "palace" hidden under the castle. If he hadn't been imprisoned in the underground torture chamber, he would not have had the chance to peek into this palace.

Mysterious underground structures.

Si Baining stood at the door of the basement and found that there was a small curved door there. It seemed to be a dark room. Si Baining took a look and found that the room was extremely dark, as if there was something that could absorb light.

, the light of the flashlight could only be seen very close. Si Baining raised the flashlight and shined it at the ceiling, but he couldn't see the end of the light.

If he hadn't known that the ceiling could not extend infinitely, Si Baining would have thought that he was in a huge black hole. But what was this room used for? Si Baining thought about it and took out two palm-sized pills from his bag.

With a slight press of the spotlight pill, the entire darkroom was filled with bright white light.

Everything suddenly became clear. This was a circular dark room of about fifty square meters. Si Baining quickly discovered a gap on the left side of the entrance. It looked like a small door connecting to the exit. There were no switches on the smooth wall.

Or something like a door lock, Si Baining raised his hand and knocked lightly, and the echo was as loud as thunder.

Si Baining couldn't help but rub his ears, and suddenly his eyes widened. Could it be that this door uses a voice-activated password?

Thinking of this, Si Baining tried knocking on the wall twice more, and sure enough the echo sounded unusual, unusually clear and bright.

Anyway, there were other ways to open the door, so I might as well give it a try. But what about the password? Si Baining couldn't think of a password to open it, so he had to give it a try and use the password he found when he dismantled the clock.

He raised his hand and slapped the wall vigorously, "Bang, bang, bang..." A rhythmic knocking sound sounded, but there was still no response from the door. Si Baining rubbed his numb palms, but couldn't figure out the point for a moment.

But if it’s not a voice-controlled door, what is it?

The spotlight gradually dimmed, and Si Baining's eyes fell on the door he came in. Although the corridor was also dark, it was still brighter compared to this light-absorbing circular secret room. It must be because of this

The door is not closed, and part of the sound waves escape from here, without forming enough audio vibration, so it cannot be effective.

For some reason, Si Baining was so sure that his guess was correct that he closed the only entrance without hesitation and locked himself into the secret room. The moment the door was closed, the whole room was quiet.

You could almost hear a pin drop. Si Baining held his breath and endured the coldness and the ghostly noises coming from above his head. He believed that these were all hallucinations.

Si Baining stabilized his mind, but he raised his hand but could not make up his mind to slap the wall again. He gritted his teeth, but the sound was still there, why not do it more violently. Thinking about it, Si Baining raised his feet and used the hard soles of his shoes.

He stepped hard on the floor of the secret room.

There was a loud rumbling sound like thunder in the whole secret room. He didn't know how long he had been stepping on it. Si Baining almost regretted his recklessness. When he gave up, a crisp "click" sound pulled him back from his regret.

Reality.

It's open! Si Baining was surprised to see that the wall that was originally just a gap suddenly opened a door. He walked over without hesitation and found that there was actually a corridor.

Of course, Spinning didn't know that this was the place where Jia Huan had been when he was punished. He kept walking along the road that Jia Huan had walked, and every oil painting brought him a fresh shock, until he saw Thomas

Thomas paused thoughtfully for a moment after seeing the portrait and the metal object like a pocket watch hanging on his chest.

An indescribable feeling filled Si Baining's mind. He couldn't tell whether it was intuition or a sixth sense. He only knew that this metal object seemed very extraordinary. It might have some connection with the secrets of the Kabbalah family, but Si Baining couldn't tell.

For a moment, Bai Ning was unable to find any clues.

After a while, Si Baining felt that the star map composed of gems on the metal was spinning in front of his eyes, making him dizzy and his whole head felt swollen and painful. Si Baining closed his eyes and beat his forehead desperately.

, I want to throw all these countless stars out of my mind...

Xiao Yinuo left the Kington Hotel and rushed straight to Xu Fuzhai. Because he was anxious to see An An as soon as possible, he did not ask the driver to accompany him, but drove the Lotus sports car all the way alone. A professional driver qualified by ulaone, drove

A Lotus sports car was naturally able to handle it with ease. Soon, Xiao Yinuo arrived at Xu Fuzhai Royal Private Vegetable Shop located on the bank of Dongpo Lake.

"Squeak——" There was a harsh friction sound, and the car stopped steadily in front of the hotel. Xiao Yinuo jumped out of the car, threw the key to the parking boy, and ran to the special bag on the third floor without waiting.

"Welcome~" The hostess stood in two rows at the door wearing colorful palace maid costumes and greeted the guests warmly.

Xiao Yinuo curled his lips, he never liked this kind of show-off, but unfortunately Tao Jingyang just liked this kind of tone.

"Mr. Xiao." The hotel manager was wearing palace clothes and following Xiao Yinuo: "Mr. Tao is on the third floor. He has been waiting for you for a long time. Today we have Siberian bear paws that were just flown in. Do you want to come?

set?"

Xiao Yinuo couldn't wait for the elevator and rushed up the stairs in twos and twos: "Come up as you like. As long as Tao Jingyang says he wants it, he will be satisfied with anything."

"It's your order~" The manager followed Xiao Yinuo while climbing the stairs, taking out the electronic menu from his pocket and placing an order for the kitchen. He was panting, but his fingers didn't shake at all, and he finished all the top dishes.

On the third floor, the manager straightened his clothes and respectfully opened the door for Xiao Yinuo. The large private room was designed in an antique style, blending the atmosphere of the royal garden and the exquisite beauty of Jiangnan water towns into the private room, with small bridges, flowing water, and brocades of birds and birds.

The fish, exotic flowers and jade rockery are all well-proportioned and unconventional in design.

On one side of the room against the wall stands a row of exquisite ancient shelves, with various vases and jades on them, showing elegance. On the other side is a sandalwood carved screen, with patterns of gentle and talented maids, elegant and noble.

The round dining table is behind the screen, and a small arch bridge needs to be crossed in the middle. The water under the bridge is gurgling slightly, and the little duckweed is extremely elegant. Xiao Yinuo saw a jade arm hanging on the corner of the table exposed behind the screen.

, as crystal clear as jade and chalcedony, and my heart beat faster unconsciously.

After so many years, I wonder what An An has become, and I wonder if she still remembers herself...

Countless questions were swirling in Xiao Yinuo's mind, and his steps gradually became hesitant.

"Mr. Xiao, please~"

The manager bowed respectfully and made a gesture of invitation. Xiao Yinuo came back to his senses and heard the sound of chairs being pushed and pulled from behind the screen. He quickly walked a few steps and walked around the arch bridge towards the screen.

The figures floated, and it seemed that the two people stood up in unison. Xiao Yinuo clenched his hands tightly, trying to calm himself down so as not to frighten An An.

Xiao Yinuo took a deep breath, raised the corners of his mouth, and forced out a smile. As soon as he turned around, before he could see An An's face clearly, a heavy slap hit him on the shoulder.

"Snapped--"

Xiao Yinuo was already nervous. He almost fell into the water because of his excitement. Tao Jingyang hurriedly hugged his arm and burst out laughing:

"I heard you come in. Why are you dawdling? Come on, let me introduce you. This is Miss An An, and this is Mr. Xiao and Xiao Yinuo."

Xiao Yinuo followed Tao Jingyang's gesture and looked over. The "An'an" in his mouth extended his hand to him elegantly and generously: "Hello."

Xiao Yinuo shook hands with An An in confusion and couldn't help but look up and down. The girl was about the same age as he remembered. She had long black hair, a small face with melon seeds, pretty eyebrows and fair skin. Everything was similar to what he remembered.

, but something seems to be missing.

"How come you can speak?!" Xiao Yinuo asked in surprise.

As soon as the words fell, An An covered her mouth and chuckled: "I can do it."

Xiao Yinuo's heart skipped a beat and he frowned unconsciously. Upon seeing this, An An looked at Tao Jingyang and said with a smile:

"When I was a child, I was tricked into a trafficker's house by my uncle, a gambler. Later, I heard that the traffickers were planning to sell me to other places, so I started pretending to be mute. This way I escaped halfway and met you while they were negligent."

Xiao Yinuo nodded, but he didn't fully believe it: "Then why did you run away when you saw the police?"

An An was startled for a moment, and then she said with a confused look on her face: "My uncle is a policeman, so——"

Xiao Yinuo suddenly realized it. Seeing An An's slightly bowed head in shame, he couldn't help but feel a little pity.

Tao Jingyang could naturally see that Xiao Yinuo's heart was gradually changing, so he calmly asked the manager to serve the food to resolve the embarrassment.

A table of delicious food was served. Tao Jingyang regarded himself as a matchmaker and ate without ceremony. An An seemed to be a little reserved. She looked at Xiao Yinuo from time to time with a blush on her face. The two of them inadvertently looked at each other, with a continuous undercurrent of affection.

Go into the other person's heart.

"Uh, where do you work now?" Xiao Yinuo spoke first.

Without waiting for An An to answer, Tao Jingyang interrupted: "A salesperson from an advertising company has business dealings with my company, so I just happened to meet her. Otherwise, how would I have found her in such a huge crowd? This is fate!"

An An smiled reservedly and nodded silently.

The person Xiao Yinuo thought about day and night was right in front of him, but he was not as excited as he had longed for before. When he couldn't find An An, he once fantasized about marrying her as his wife, taking her to travel around the world, and bringing all the beautiful things to her.

Give them all to her. But now, An An is sitting opposite him, and what he thinks more about is how to keep An An by his side.

Such a small and simple wish seems to be the most difficult problem in the world to overcome, plaguing Xiao Yinuo.
