In Ruan Qi’s memory, Brother Bingshan’s final fate was that he was drowned in a river.
She couldn't imagine any fate worse than being drowned in a river.
When I think that the brother Bingshan who has suffered so much is Xi Jiu...
The blood all over Ruan Qi's body seemed to be frozen, and her heart was pounding.
She clenched her fists tightly.
She must find out what happened to Shenjiu ten years ago.
Even if the truth is something she can't bear, she still needs to know what Xi Jiu has done!
……
That night, Ruan Qi made a phone call to Wen Ran who was far away in country M.
She asked Wen Ran to use the power and connections of "Tianlu" to investigate Xi Jiu's whereabouts ten years ago.
This night, Ruan Qi didn't sleep well.
She started having nightmares again.
Fire, the sky is full of fire, burning people's skin with burning pain.
The terrifying tongues of fire squirmed crazily in the dark night, spreading wantonly.
The nine-year-old girl stood blankly in front of the blazing fire, her eyes empty and frightened.
The screams of children were heard in the fire.
The scream was like thick and sharp nails, piercing into the little girl's eardrums.
She took a step back in fear.
"Save me—save me—"
"It hurts! I hurt so much! Someone help me!"
"Why don't you save us - why don't you save us!!!"
The child's twisted screams came from all directions, like a cloud of black mist wrapping the little girl up and suffocating her.
She kept shaking her head, tears welling up in her empty peach blossom eyes.
"I didn't...I didn't fail to save you..."
"It's you! It's you who killed us!" The shrill child's scream was like a demonic sound that penetrated his bones, "It was you who set fire to us! You are a murderer!"
"It's not me...I didn't kill you...I didn't set the fire...I didn't..."
"You have! You killed so many of us! Why aren't you dead yet?"
"You burned us to death!"
"You and Jiang Chunian are both murderers!"
"You deserve to die! Come down and accompany us! Why don't you pay us with your life——!!!"
On the big bed surrounded by gauze curtains, the girl closed her eyes tightly and looked pale.
"No...no...not me..."
She murmured, tears sliding down the corners of her eyes, wetting her hair, and sliding into the silk pillowcase.
Click!
The bedroom door was suddenly opened.
The sound of hurried footsteps came from far away. The man who came in a hurry put on his nightgown randomly, opened the bed curtain, bent down and took the girl into his arms.
"Baby? Wake up!"
Ruan Qi fell into a nightmare, unable to hear the outside world, and tears kept flowing out.
"I didn't burn you to death...it's not me...it's really not me..."
Xi Jiu heard her babble clearly and her heart suddenly sank.
What does ‘I didn’t burn you to death’ mean?
Xi Jiu's hand around Ruan Qi's waist trembled unconsciously. He didn't dare to think too much and raised his hand to gently pat the little girl's face.
"Baby, wake up!"
"Baby, you are having a nightmare. Open your eyes!"
"Baby?"
Xi Jiu was reluctant to hit Ruan Qi hard, so she could only pat her gently.
But Ruan Qi's nightmare was a bit severe this time, and he couldn't wake up no matter how much he shouted.
Seeing the little girl's face getting paler, Xi Jiu gritted his teeth, lowered his head and kissed her lips hard.
There are many ways to wake up someone from a nightmare, and punching, kicking and slapping is the most effective.
But Xi Jiu was reluctant to use any of these methods. He didn't know if kissing could wake someone up, but it was shown in the TV series, so he could only try it.
In order to stimulate the little girl, Xi Jiu kissed her very hard, and the smell of blood quickly spread between her lips and tongues.
Ruan Qi, who was trapped in a nightmare, felt faint pain, her brows furrowed more and more tightly, and her murmurs gradually turned into groans of pain.
She made an uncomfortable sound from her throat.
Seeing her reaction, Xi Jiu immediately grabbed the back of her head with his big hands and kissed her even more intensely.
On weekdays, when the two of them were intimate, Xi Jiu wanted to swallow Ruan Qi, but he had never been rough with her.
He didn't want Ruan Qi to get hurt, even if it was an accidental injury caused by lingering, he didn't want it to happen.
This is the first time Xi Jiu has kissed Ruan Qi so roughly.
Overly intense and deep kisses can quickly deprive people of oxygen.
Ruan Qi's pale face gradually turned red due to difficulty breathing. The strong sense of suffocation made her subconsciously aware of the danger, and she did not dare to continue to immerse herself in the nightmare.
Her body instinctively began to react with resistance, and her consciousness was withdrawn from the nightmare and gradually returned to clarity.
She subconsciously pushed the person hugging her, her closed eyes and eyelids kept shaking.
"Baby, wake up." Xi Jiu shouted softly while kissing her.
Ruan Qi, who was gradually withdrawing from the nightmare, faintly heard a familiar shout.
Her eyelashes trembled, and she used all her strength to slowly open her eyelids.
The tears that had not yet been shed slowly slid down the corners of her eyes. Xi Jiu looked at her slightly opened eyes and finally let out a relieved breath.
He raised his head slightly and left his soft lips.
The little girl's lips were red and swollen from being kissed, and there was still a faint bloodshot streak on the inside of her lower lip.
Xi Jiu frowned in distress, lowered her head and carefully licked off the blood streaks.
Ruan Qi felt a little pain, and her scattered consciousness gradually recovered in the pain.
Through the moonlight outside the window, she belatedly saw the person hugging her clearly.
"...Jiujiu?"
"Yes." Xi Jiu responded in a low voice and gently wiped her lips clean, "Are you having a nightmare again?"
Ruan Qi, who had just withdrawn from the nightmare, her pupils shrank suddenly.
She subconsciously grabbed Xi Jiu's hand, her voice trembling: "Jiujiu, I dreamed of a fire that burned many people to death. They said I burned them to death, and they want me to pay for it!"
When Xi Jiu heard this, his eyes darkened and he hugged her hard.
"Don't be afraid, no one can make you risk your life, I'm here." He patted her back again and again, "Baby, your memory is recovering, and your consciousness may occasionally become confused. It's also possible that Mr. Zhuge said something during the day
Those words have caused wrong misleading and influence on you."
Ruan Qi was a little comforted, but she still held on to him tightly: "Jiujiu, I'm afraid that's my true memory. Do you think I did something unforgivable because I couldn't bear Jiang Chunian's torture?"
of..."
"No." Xi Jiu interrupted her speculation.
"Baby, you should know yourself very well. With your character, no matter what kind of difficulties or dangers you face, it is impossible for you to do that kind of thing."
Ruan Qi: "...But I might not have been mentally healthy at the time. What if I really did it..."
"That's not your fault."
Xi Jiu looked into her eyes and said in a low and powerful voice, "Baby, you are just a victim. The ones who deserve to die are Jiang Chunian and the employers of Xiaoyaozhuang. Don't put too many moral shackles on yourself, you don't
You don’t owe anyone, and you don’t need to be responsible for the mistakes of others.”
