Ozawa Nami hasn't slept much in the past two weeks, and after crying for so long, she fell asleep quickly.
Su Luo left the room and returned to her bedroom, where she immediately called Ye Xiaotian.
The call was answered almost instantly.
Ye Xiaotian's suppressed excitement could be heard coming from inside.
"Su Luo?"
Su Luo said calmly, "It's me."
"ah!!"
"Did you get out? Did she let you out, or did you escape? Where are you now? Do you want me to come pick you up?"
Faced with Ye Xiaotian's series of questions, Su Luo selectively ignored them and asked in a hoarse voice.
"She let me out. Nini is missing. Can you help me look for her?"
“I know. My sister-in-law told me the moment the accident happened. I’ve been looking for her. Don’t worry, we’ll definitely find her. Just give me some time.”
Ye Xiaotian wasn't really sure either. He had searched the entire capital, but still couldn't find any clues. He figured Su Jianni was either in another city or abroad.
If you spend time and effort finding it in another city, you might be able to get it back. But if it has really been taken abroad, then it will be very difficult to deal with.
But he felt that Su Luo needed comforting and absolutely could not be upset. He had been locked up by Song Lingshan for so long, and his mental state must be very fragile; he couldn't possibly withstand any setbacks.
Su Luo fell silent.
Ye Xiaotian started to panic when Su Luo didn't respond.
"Brother Luo, don't stay silent! I'm so worried about you. Where are you? Are you home? Did you and your wife have another fight? Let me tell you this... You can't blame your wife. After all, Nini is a living, breathing person. You can't just tie her up in the room and not let her go out, can you..."
Su Luo interrupted Ye Xiaotian and said sincerely.
"Xiao Tian, thank you."
"ah?"
Ye Xiaotian was a little confused, and continued.
"Why are you thanking me? You're too kind. Aren't we best brothers? It's only right that I help you."
Su Luo whispered.
Are you free tomorrow?
"Yes, I'm free. I'm not very busy right now."
Ye Xiaotian silently added in his heart, "No matter how busy I am, as long as you say you want to see me, I will make time for you."
It wouldn't be bad to protect you for a lifetime in the name of brotherhood.
"Then I'll come find you at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."
"OK."
"Okay, bye-bye."
After hanging up the phone, Su Luo took a deep breath. Her head wasn't hurting as much anymore. She closed her eyes, wanting to get a good night's sleep.
Tomorrow, have Ye Xiaotian check who transferred the extra two million to his account.
His intuition told him that the two million was closely related to Nini's disappearance, because the money was transferred on the same day that Nini went missing.
He also asked Ye Xiaotian to accompany him to the hospital so he could see a doctor to check if there was any hope left for him, since he vomits every time he sees Ozawa Nami.
The more Su Luo forced herself to fall asleep, the less she could.
It's so strange, I'm not used to being in a new place, and I'm not sleepy at all.
Su Luo tossed and turned until three in the morning. She was so tired and had a terrible headache, but she just couldn't fall asleep.
He sat up irritably, turned on the lamp, and rummaged through the drawer of his bedside table for a box of sleeping pills. He had kept them for a long time. He checked the expiration date and saw that they were still valid, so he poured out two pills and swallowed them with water.
I snuggled back into bed and finally fell asleep peacefully half an hour later.
I fell asleep, but then I started having nightmares again, dreaming that my daughter was sold to Southeast Asia and had her heart ripped out.
He was holding a bloody, still-beating heart in his hand.
Su Luo was startled awake, covered in a cold sweat.
I glanced out the window in despair; the sun had already risen above the horizon. I decided to give up on sleeping.
I got out of bed and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.
After he finished, he didn't wake Ozawa Nami up.
Instead, he set aside a portion in the pot beforehand, wrote a note and stuck it on the dining table, telling Ozawa Nami that he was going to find Ye Xiaotian and would be home late, and told her to wait for him.
After finishing her meal alone, Su Luo changed her clothes, put on a baseball cap, grabbed her keys, and left the room.
I took a taxi to Ye Xiaotian's place and rang the doorbell.
It's been quite a while.
Ye Xiaotian opened the door.
It was obvious that Ye Xiaotian, like himself, hadn't slept much the night before. He was wearing pajamas, his hair was messy, his handsome face looked very haggard, and he even had dark circles under his eyes.
"Isn't it eight o'clock? It's only seven o'clock now. You're up early."
As Ye Xiaotian spoke, he pulled Su Luo inside.
Su Luo joked, "Then I'll leave?"
"No, no, I didn't kick you out."
Ye Xiaotian asked Su Luo to sit on the sofa, while he pressed on Su Luo's shoulder and carefully examined him.
He hadn't seen him in so long, he had to take a good look at him.
Upon seeing the obvious light pink scar on Su Luo's face, he was so shocked that his eyes widened and he stammered.
"No way, what happened to your face? Song Lingshan is too cruel, how could she do this to you!"
This one cut completely ruined Su Luo's face, which was originally more beautiful than a woman's. Now, although she is still beautiful, her temperament has changed, and she has gained a bit of a sinister aura that she didn't have before.
Calling it evil isn't quite accurate; to be precise, it's become more feminine these days, and some people would believe it if you said it was a boy.
Su Luo raised one corner of her mouth and smiled.
"I drew it myself, so what? Is it ugly?"
Ye Xiaotian shook his head and retorted, "It's not ugly, it's just a little hard to get used to."
He still prefers the feeling before the scars appeared.
Su Luo shrugged. "Whatever, I don't care."
Ye Xiaotian swallowed.
"No, why aren't you stuttering anymore?"
My goodness, Su Luo has changed so much in the past two months! It's not just her appearance, her personality seems different too, she doesn't even stutter anymore.
Su Luo pried Ye Xiaotian's hand off her shoulder and spoke frankly.
"Because I am sick."
Ye Xiaotian's eyes widened like saucers, his mind filled with questions.
"Huh? What kind of illness? What kind of illness could stop you from stuttering? Is it really that amazing?"
Su Luo stared into Ye Xiaotian's dark eyes and said with a smile.
"Mental illness."
"ah?!"
"No, it doesn't seem like it. Don't joke around, okay? You can talk to me normally, and your logic is clear!"
Ye Xiaotian's understanding of mental illness is that of a person who is completely insane, unable to communicate normally with others, and lives in their own world.
Su Luo's smile froze, and he said with utmost seriousness.
"Xiaotian, I'm not joking with you, I'm serious. I can communicate with you normally now because I haven't had an attack yet. It will be very dangerous when I have an attack."
He didn't know why he had to be so frank with Ye Xiaotian.
Perhaps he had been locked up for too long, lonely for too long, and hadn't confided in anyone for a long time.
Because Ye Xiaotian was his best friend and had always treated him like family, he had long considered him as family as well.
He wanted to expose his most vulnerable side to him; if he could accept it, then he would be his true family.
If he can't accept it, that's only natural, and he'll quietly distance himself from him in the future.
