"It's a long story. I'll tell you later. How long has it been since I stopped moving?"
Lan Shuang walked to Jiang Lusheng's door and 888 said, "Five minutes."
"Only five minutes have passed..." Lan Shuang felt like she had been in there for a long time.
"No movement in there?"
As soon as Lan Shuang finished asking, there was a loud noise from inside the door, as if something had hit the ground.
She quickly pushed the door open and turned on the light. She saw Liu Quan lying on the ground with a dazed look on his face, and Jiang Lusheng sitting on the bed with a sullen face.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she hurried forward to ask, "Are you okay?"
Jiang Lusheng saw that her face had brightened up a lot, and he shook his head and said, "It's okay, I found him just as he climbed onto my bed and kicked him down."
Liu Quan came to his senses at this time. He touched the back of his head which was a little painful from being hit, put on his glasses, looked around and asked in confusion: "Why am I here?"
He saw Lan Shuang and was stunned again, "Why are you here too? Is this your room?"
Lan Shuang stood up and revealed Jiang Lusheng behind her.
Liu Quan: “…”
"No, whose room is this anyway? Did you two come here to attack me, or did I sleepwalk and disturb you?"
Lan Shuang: “…”
What the hell is bothering them?
Jiang Lusheng sat on the bed and looked at him with sharp eyes: "This is my room. You just came in and climbed onto my bed."
Liu Quan's eyes widened in shock, "Is this true?"
He looked carefully and found that this was indeed not his room. "Then you——"
Lan Shuang spread her hands and said, "I heard some noise upstairs and came to take a look. I just happened to see you sneaking in."
Liu Quan: “…”
He can't wash himself clean even if he jumps into the Yellow River.
"No, I was completely unconscious. I fell asleep after drinking the milk and have no idea what happened afterwards."
Liu Quan stood up with the help of the bed, and said with a heavy and apologetic tone, "I'm sorry."
Jiang Lusheng was calmer than Li Weiyan. He shook his head and said, "It's not you who should apologize, but this strange manor. It seems that you and He Ping are in the same situation. You must have been controlled by something and entered the roles you played. And your roles are related to the eldest lady played by Li Weiyan and the third lady played by me."
Seeing that he could still analyze things calmly, Liu Quan was infected and calmed down as well. "Yes, I'm the same as He Ping, and we both play characters outside the manor, which means..." He glanced at Lan Shuang awkwardly, "Do our characters have improper relationships with them?"
Lan Shuang's attitude was more frank than his: "This is very obvious, and this relationship is probably not what they want."
"Huh?" Liu Quan was shocked. "Isn't that illegal?"
Lan Shuang pointed at the carpet and said, "We are now in Rose Manor, a place filled with roses and ghosts."
Liu Quan: “…” Yeah, talking about law with ghosts?
"I just got some very crucial information, but I can't tell you now because I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep. Let's talk about it at the dining table tomorrow morning."
Lan Shuang looked at Jiang Lusheng, and Jiang Lusheng nodded: "You can go back now."
Liu Quan was worried: "Is it dangerous outside?"
"It's quite dangerous. I just saw a ghost. Let me remind you, it's midnight now."
With just one sentence, Liu Quan was finished.
He stood there and looked at Lan Shuang in fear.
Lan Shuang spread her hands and said, "It's dangerous for you to go out now, and it may not be safe to stay either. Let's take a gamble. But I think I just got hit, so I shouldn't bother you anymore."
In the end, Liu Quan left because he felt it would be more dangerous if he stayed.
Lan Shuang went out to see him off. Liu Quan walked so fast that he kept looking back every few steps. It took him almost ten minutes to walk a few steps.
Fortunately, I finally returned to my room safely.
Lan Shuang turned to look at Jiang Lusheng. Jiang Lusheng held her hand and asked her to sit down next to him. "What did you find out? What do you mean you just saw a ghost?"
Lan Shuang told him what had just happened, how she came to find him, how she fell into the nightmare-like predicament, and how she got out of it, every detail.
Jiang Lusheng's face darkened halfway through listening.
"These guys are really brave."
"Don't be angry. I don't think she wants to harm me, but remind me." Lan Shuang held Jiang Lusheng's hand and whispered, "Didn't we say before that we found too few clues? This time, at least I have figured out the relationship between the young lady and that man. I guess that man is the role played by He Ping, the big boss, the business elite, and he 'bought' the young lady."
Jiang Lusheng frowned. "The body in the rose bush, the eldest daughter who was sold, and the third daughter who was suddenly attacked tonight—these are all things that are happening or have happened, and they are being played out before us in a disordered order. I have a feeling that more things will happen tomorrow. Most importantly, that couple will also be back."
"Yes, I think so too. It's getting late tonight. I'm going to go back first. Let's have a good sleep. We can talk about tomorrow's affairs tomorrow."
Lan Shuang stood up and wanted to leave, but Jiang Lusheng grabbed her wrist.
She turned her head in confusion: "Huh?"
"Don't leave, just sleep here."
"ah?"
Lan Shuang was surprised. Jiang Lusheng patted the seat beside him and said, "Although you are told to stay in your room, you will be punished if you come out at midnight. But look at Liu Quan, isn't he fine?"
“Once the rules are broken, they can no longer bind us.”
Jiang Lusheng's eyes were calm and bright. Lan Shuang was silent for a moment, then felt that it made sense and agreed.
Jiang Lusheng turned off the lights, got into bed, and hugged Lan Shuang's waist from behind, holding her tightly in his arms. The two of them smelled each other's scent, felt extremely at ease, and soon fell asleep.
…
“Dongdongdong——”
"Why hasn't Jiang Lusheng woken up yet?"
"Brother Liu, what are you doing? Why are you knocking on the door so early in the morning?"
The noise outside the door made it impossible to sleep. Lan Shuang slowly opened her eyes from Jiang Lusheng's arms and rubbed her shoulders with a mumble, "It's so noisy..."
Jiang Lusheng touched Lan Shuang's hair before opening his eyes.
"I'll go take a look."
He stood up to open the door, and Liu Quan, who was lying on the door and eavesdropping, stumbled in and almost fell flat on his face.
"What are you doing?"
Jiang Lusheng's eyes still had the lazy look of someone who had just woken up. He leaned against the door with his arms folded, looking at him. Liu Quan turned around awkwardly, "I just couldn't sleep. There are no windows in the room, and I didn't even know what time it was. I was afraid of missing the time, so I hurried out."
Jiang Lusheng looked at his watch. "Seven thirty-six, not bad."
Liu Quan breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, you..."
He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that there was another person on the bed. His jaw dropped in shock. "You, you, you—you slept together last night?"
