Duan Hongzhen?
The man in the windbreaker is called Duan Hongzhen?
Xiao Tangqiu was just wondering when, sure enough, the next second, the man in the windbreaker tutted, "Boss, you know I don't like others sleeping in my room."
Shen Yuan said coldly: "Then you can sleep in their room with him."
The man in the windbreaker could only shrug awkwardly.
The girl was still unwilling to give in and shouted: "Brother Chen! How could you agree to their unreasonable demands! And Brother Chen, don’t you have mysophobia…"
Shen Yuan glanced at her calmly: "Who is the captain?"
The girl puffed out her cheeks: "...you."
"Then listen to me."
Shen Yuan lowered his eyes and said, "Go back to your rooms and go to Dimon Town tomorrow."
After saying that, he went straight back to the room, but did not slam the door, obviously leaving it open for Xiao Tangqiu.
Xiao Tangqiu's heart suddenly began to pound wildly. He hadn't expected Shen Yuan to actually agree to his request. While feeling relieved, he couldn't help but feel lucky. Why would Shen Yuan have such a change of heart? Could it be that...
At this moment, the man in the windbreaker, Duan Hongzhen, was playing with the scalpel in his hand. He said to Tang Mianmian with a smile, "Be careful, I sleepwalk at night. I've accidentally killed several people while sleepwalking before."
Tang Mianmian: “…嘤!”
Tang Mianmian, who had been frightened and finally breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly looked terrified. He hugged Xiao Tangqiu's arm and said, "Woo woo woo! Qiuqiu, let me share a room with you! I'd rather sleep on the floor!"
Without waiting for Xiao Tangqiu to say anything, Duan Hongzhen continued with a smile: "The boss won't kill people when he sleepwalks at night, but he will do things that are even more terrifying than killing people..."
Tang Mianmian quickly changed her tone and said, "Good night, Qiuqiu! See you tomorrow, Qiuqiu!"
Xiao Tangqiu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. When Tang Mianmian saw Duan Hongzhen turn around and go back to his room, she hurriedly followed him, talking big and short about him, like a servile boy.
When the two girls saw Shen Yuan return to his room, they turned around and left. One of the girls looked at Xiao Tangqiu and snorted coldly.
Xiao Tangqiu touched his nose awkwardly. Seeing that everyone had left, he walked cautiously into Shen Yuan's room and closed the door quietly.
Shen Yuan's room was no different from other rooms. He was sitting at the head of the bed, looking down at a book. It was a very thick book with a black cover that seemed very old.
Xiao Tangqiu didn't remember there being such a book in this ancient castle. He guessed that this book should belong to Shen Yuan himself and was brought in from outside - what kind of book was worthy of Shen Yuan bringing it to such a dangerous place?
He didn't dare to speak and disturb Shen Yuan, so he tiptoed into the bathroom and took a shower first. According to his observation, Shen Yuan seemed to have mysophobia. He and Tang Mianmian had just fought with the monster for so long, so naturally they were a little dirty.
When Xiao Tangqiu returned to the room after taking a shower, Shen Yuan was still reading the book. He hesitated for a moment, then spoke: "Thank you for saving my friend and me tonight..."
Shen Yuan remained unmoved and didn't even raise his head.
Xiao Tangqiu climbed onto the bed without caring whether Shen Yuan accepted it or not, he had already thanked him... Fortunately, the beds in the guest rooms in this castle were very big, enough for three or four people, otherwise it would be so awkward if he and Shen Yuan slept next to each other!
The temperature difference between day and night in the castle is particularly large, and the temperature at night is close to below zero, so Xiao Tangqiu decided that unless Shen Yuan asked him to get off the bed, he would never ask to sleep on the floor. Fortunately, Shen Yuan saw him climb onto the bed and did not intend to ask him to get off the bed.
Xiao Tangqiu breathed a sigh of relief quietly, then lay down at the end farthest from Shen Yuan. The whole day today had been thrilling and exciting. He had thought that he would be too excited and scared to sleep, but for some reason, looking at Shen Yuan sitting at the head of the bed reading a book, his originally tense mood gradually relaxed.
Gradually, he fell into a deep sleep.
Xiao Tangqiu had a dream.
——He dreamed of Meng Xinghe again.
In the dream, Meng Xinghe was still young and beautiful. He was walking towards him with a smile across the street, and seemed to be saying something. But in the dream, he suddenly felt a palpitation and started shouting.
There's a car! An out-of-control car is coming! Get out of the way!
However, the next second, Meng Xinghe's facial features in the middle of the road suddenly began to bleed from all seven orifices, and along with the black and red blood, large clumps of hair also gushed out.
Large clumps of hair and dark red blood continued to flow out of his eyes, his nose, his mouth, and his ears.
His expression was extremely painful and terrifying. He stretched out his hand towards Xiao Tangqiu, veins bulging in his veins.
“Save me…save me…”
"Why... didn't you save..."
"You... just watched someone die without helping!"
Xiao Tangqiu suddenly woke up from his dream, his heart beating wildly.
Meng Xinghe's face with blood all over his face was still in front of him. When he suddenly saw the person standing at the foot of his bed who looked exactly like Meng Xinghe, he was so scared that he almost rolled off the bed. Fortunately, he reacted quickly - the person in front of him was Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan stood at the foot of the bed and glanced at Xiao Tangqiu calmly: "Something happened."
Xiao Tangqiu was stunned for a moment: "Something happened?"
Shen Yuan: "There was a scream."
Xiao Tangqiu finally realized...it was dawn.
It seemed to be dawn outside. Although there didn't seem to be much difference in the brightness of the light in the castle during the day and at night, the temperature was not as cold as at night. He hurried into the bathroom to wash up, then followed Shen Yuan out.
Looking at Shen Yuan's profile, Xiao Tangqiu remembered the nightmare last night and couldn't help feeling dazed.
As soon as the two of them went out, they met Duan Hongzhen and others. Of course, they were obviously waiting for Shen Yuan at the door of Shen Yuan's room, while Tang Mianmian was waiting for Xiao Tangqiu.
To Xiao Tangqiu's surprise, Tang Mianmian seemed to have slept quite well and was very energetic. It seemed that Duan Hongzhen's words "I like to kill people in my dreams" were just a joke. Tang Mianmian looked Xiao Tangqiu up and down and couldn't help but reveal a look of sympathy: "It turns out that guy was right... The master really has a habit of torturing people in his dreams."
