“Guardian…” she called out the name uncertainly. She remembered that on Xia Fengying’s phone, the Guardian he had set was a lively female voice.
"You must be wondering why Guardian's voice suddenly turned into your brother's voice, right?" The familiar voice jumped around on the screen. "Because when I was bitten, I had already recorded everything I wanted to say. On your birthday, Guardian will play my recording. It's 12:00:00 on the 17th now, right? You're definitely not asleep yet. Although Fengguang always says he hates me, if something really happened to me, Fengguang definitely wouldn't be able to sleep. Besides... this time, I'm already dead."
Xia Fengying always understood Fengguang better than he understood himself, just as he liked her more than he liked himself.
Feng Guang picked up her phone with one hand and wiped away her tears fiercely with the other. "You idiot... You never lose a fight, how could you get bitten!"
Xia Fengying's voice rang out cheerfully, "Oh~ I heard that, you're definitely cursing me right now, aren't you?"
"Yeah, I'm insulting you! Don't you hate it when I insult you? Then come and hit me now!"
"It's a real shame. Even if I wanted to pick up Fengguang and throw him in the mud now, I couldn't do it." He sighed. "Oh well, I've bullied you for so many years. It's okay if Fengguang scolds me occasionally."
Feng Guang suddenly felt a pang of pain in her heart, "Brother..."
"I wonder if Fengguang will like the chocolates and candies I made. It's okay if he doesn't. Since I'm Fengguang's older brother, how can I only prepare such a small birthday gift? Come on, Fengguang, how about we play a midnight adventure game?" Xia Fengying said cheerfully, "Just like when we were little, when you had nightmares and couldn't sleep, I would take you out to play. You're timid, and you would always hold my hand tightly when we walked on the street at night. Your biggest fear was that I would abandon you. Silly girl, I would never want to abandon you."
She wiped her blurry eyes again, pouted, and said, "Sure enough, you start talking in a cheesy way when someone's not around. Humph, back then, it was always you who dressed up as a ghost to scare me."
"Fengguang, let's go. Let's leave the room and go downstairs first." The voice on the phone lowered a little more. "Now is the time for the two of us to take risks. You can't be discovered by anyone else, especially Junze who likes to patrol at night."
Feng Guang got dressed, picked up her phone, left the room, and started going down the stairs. When she reached the first floor, Xia Fengying's voice rang out again, "Luo Li has a problem sleepwalking at night, Feng Guang, remember to walk quietly."
Feng Guang hid in the stairwell, and sure enough, after a short while, she saw Luo Li walking back and forth in the corridor. She tiptoed and quickly slipped out.
As she stood downstairs, Xia Fengying's voice rang out precisely on time, "After you go down the stairs, turn left and walk one hundred and thirty-five steps."
She didn't know how he counted the steps so precisely, but since he said so, she did as he said. Fengguang counted very carefully, and when she had walked exactly 135 steps, her phone screen lit up again. "I don't know if my estimate was right... but I did simulate in my mind how long it would take for short-legged Fengguang to walk. By now, Fengguang must have finished walking, right?"
She stood under a tree, wanting to refute, but couldn't utter a single word.
