Chapter 163 Chapter 163 (Three-in-one) Her knife slashed across...
Rocheng, Finland.
Bai Qingqing finished a pot of stewed meat by herself and collapsed on the back of the chair, feeling dizzy from the food.
Next to him was Jiang Muning's back, working hard in front of the pool.
She refused to let Bai Er work anymore, so she took on the job of washing the dishes herself, leaving Bai Er sitting opposite her, staring at her.
[Are you familiar with the neighbors here? ]
Bai Siming shook his head slowly.
[You guys don’t usually interact? ]
[After so many years, there must be someone around here who looks familiar to you, right? ]
[Oh! I see. You are always on missions outside, so you don't live here all the time, right? ]
[When you are away for a long time, will the organization send someone to live here and play you every day? 】
[I heard that Finns have a strong sense of boundaries. How do you deal with the prey you catch here? ]
[Will anyone check whether the thing you drag home is an animal? ]
[Are there any large beasts nearby that may eat people? ]
[How do you usually deal with a dead body? ]
Bai Siming's answering speed gradually slowed down.
At first, I would answer by nodding or shaking my head. When she needed a long answer, I would communicate with her face to face by sending her messages.
Bai Siming didn't expect that Bai Qingqing would adapt to her new function so quickly after she felt socially dead.
It’s just… why does the direction of this question feel more and more wrong?
While asking, his eyes kept drifting towards Jiang Mu Ning?
This is no longer just curiosity.
Bai Qingqing squinted her eyes, not missing the flash of vigilance in Bai Siming's eyes. She opened her mouth and yawned: "I'm sleepy, where should I sleep?"
Bai Siming: "...My bed is for you to sleep in."
The two-story building was not small in size, but Bai Siming had never planned to receive guests, let alone keep anyone there. There was not a single guest room in the entire building.
The second floor even has only a partition without a door.
One room is a bed for people to rest, and the other half is a large studio.
Usually, Bai Siming was the only one working here. In the huge space, there were only two round stools with wheels and a chair, and there was not even enough space to put together a bed.
There is a swing hammock hanging by the only window where you can lie down.
"I won't accompany you anymore. I'm going to sleep. Good night." Bai Qingqing waved her hand and went upstairs.
Bai Siming watched her leave, pursed his lips and said nothing. After a few moments of silence, he stood up, walked to Jiang Mu Ning, took the plate from her hand, and wiped it with a dry cloth.
"Ningning, you should go and rest too. I don't have a guest room here, so you and Qingqing will have to sleep in the same bed tonight."
On the stairs, Bai Qingqing paused and smiled softly.
Jiang Mu Ning reached for the faucet switch but missed it. His fingertips trembled. After a pause, he quickly said, "I'll sleep on the sofa. Isn't there a lot of space on the first floor?"
Bai Siming turned off the faucet and thought for a while.
"That's fine. Then you can sleep on the sofa on the first floor."
He noticed that Jiang Mu Ning restrained himself and let out a sigh of relief, and he relaxed a lot.
Jiang Muning...is afraid of Qingqing?
Jiang Mu Ning quickly responded: "Then where are you sleeping, second brother?"
Bai Siming wiped the plate cleanly and put it back in the cupboard: "I'm in the car."
As he spoke, he seemed to know what Jiang Mu Ning would say, and said in advance: "I am used to sleeping in the car. Now the weather is not cold, so it is no problem to sleep for a night."
Jiang Muning opened his mouth and realized that Bai Siming was planning to let the two girls sleep upstairs and sleep on the first floor himself.
"No, second brother, it's too dangerous to sleep in the car. I'll sleep with Qingqing." She held Bai Siming's hand and smiled at him.
Seeing that the kitchen had been cleaned up, it was almost time to rest in the evening. Although it was a little early, Bai Siming obviously had no intention of chatting and reminiscing about the past.
With Bai Qingqing here in advance, Jiang Muning didn't have much confidence in Bai Siming. After saying good night to him, she slowly went upstairs holding the toiletries that Bai Siming had found for her.
The light on the second floor was on.
It was Jiang Muning’s first time to set foot here. As soon as he stepped onto the second floor, he could see almost the entire second floor at a glance.
No wonder Bai Siming asked them to sleep upstairs.
She glanced at Bai Qingqing who was already lying on the bed, and slightly raised the things in her hands: "Second brother found some toiletries for us."
"Well, put it on the table over there." Bai Qingqing connected a cable to charge her phone and said without looking up.
Jiang Muning glanced at her, walked through the bedroom, placed the toiletries on the huge workbench, and his eyes lingered briefly on the hammock by the window.
You can sleep here at night.
As she was thinking about putting down the things in her hands, she suddenly saw two cups of coffee on the windowsill, both half drunk.
One of the cups had only a shallow bottom left.
It is obvious who the previous owner of the cup was, and it is also obvious that he has been here for quite some time.
Jiang Muning took the two cups on the windowsill to the bathroom to rinse them. After bringing them back to the table, he thought for a moment and went back to say hello to Bai Qingqing: "Second brother, let's sleep together."
Bai Qingqing raised her eyes.
"I see there's a hammock here. I'll sleep in the hammock."
Bai Qingqing: ...
【When did she become so polite. 】
Bai Qingqing did not answer. It was obvious that Jiang Muning did not need her answer. He found a thin quilt and a spare pillow in the bedroom, then ran twice and carried them all to the hanging chair.
Bai Qingqing looked at her busy back and forth.
It was still early in Finland, but according to China's time, she was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes.
Bai Qingqing put down her phone, stretched out her arm and shoved it under the pillow, touched her bronze dagger and the warm jade she had brought across the ocean, and thought in her heart.
It doesn't matter if there are few people in Luocheng. Before there is any danger, Bai Siming is the biggest danger.
But if she had to wait until Jiang Mu Ning left before taking action, she would have to wait another day, and she was too lazy to wait too long.
Another problem is that Jiang Muning went abroad with Ji Ke. After she returns, she will definitely reunite with Ji Ke. The two of them live under the same roof and are probably inseparable.
Killing someone in front of the male protagonist of the novel brings together the conditions of both the male and female protagonists. It is estimated that the impact on the plot will increase sharply, and the resistance will probably be even greater.
She still prefers a safer approach.
The most important thing is to save trouble.
The sound of gentle and even breathing could be heard.
Jiang Muning's footsteps slowed down as he entered the room for the last time, and he looked at the person on the bed who had fallen asleep with his eyes closed at some point.
Jiang Muning breathed a sigh of relief, and for a moment he slowly retreated, his movements becoming increasingly light, almost daring not to make any sound. He tiptoed out of the room step by step, turned off the bedroom light, gently pulled the edge of the quilt, and carefully lay down on the hammock.
I lay down and listened carefully, but there was no extra sound coming from outside the half wall.
Jiang Muning felt completely relieved and lay down steadily on the hammock.
…
First floor.
The sound of light footsteps moved from the bedroom to the window side of the workbench.
Bai Siming lay on the sofa, one hand behind his head, and looked up at the ceiling above his head, where a faint sound came from.
The question Bai Qingqing asked him in her heart after dinner made him concerned.
When he was watching variety shows before, he noticed that Bai Qingqing might not be treated very well at home, especially in front of Xiaowu.
Xiaowu's attitude is basically determined by Mu Ning. That is to say, even though Bai Qingqing and Jiang Mu Ning seem to get along well in the show, and Bai Qingqing has saved Jiang Mu Ning's life many times, in reality, the three of them are probably not in harmony when they get along at home.
But her questions tonight were directed at...
Bai Siming frowned.
How come Bai Qingqing saved Jiang Mu Ning's life on the show a month and a half ago, but now he wants her life?
Since such a big change happened in the middle, it means that something must have happened in the middle that he didn't know about.
Things at home might be more complicated than he thought.
There was no warning that the two girls suddenly went abroad alone and came to him.
In the darkness, Bai Siming slowly closed his eyes.
Three o'clock in the morning.
Bai Qingqing took a nap, then suddenly opened her eyes and made a decision.
She was going to kill someone here.
It is much easier to do it in front of Bai Siming than in front of Ji Ke. It is simpler, more efficient and faster.
As she sat up in the dark, she pulled out the green dagger from under her pillow, lifted her legs off the bed nimbly, and stepped barefoot on the clean and smooth floor.
Fortunately, I conducted the experiment on Xinsheng before Jiang Muning came back from the supermarket.
Next, she just needs to shut out her thoughts and try not to make any noise...
Bai Qingqing stood silently in front of the swing hammock, looking down at the peaceful sleeping face of the person in front of her.
The moonlight shone into the room through the gauze curtains and hit her face head-on, lengthening the shadow of her long eyelashes, casting a trembling shadow on Jiang Mu Ning's face. Following her even rising and falling breathing, a knife quietly rested against her slender neck.
The way of heaven does not change.
Everything around was silent.
Bai Qingqing carefully withdrew her eyes from observing the way of heaven, and felt relieved. She formed a seal with her left hand, ready to defend herself at any time, and thrust the dagger forward with her right hand.
The red blood instantly kissed the green blade. Jiang Mu Ning's eyelashes trembled. Before he woke up, his brows were slightly furrowed and a look of pain appeared on his face.
The blade was already bleeding but Tian Dao hadn't made a move yet. Bai Qingqing no longer had any worries. She held the hilt of the knife and slashed it across Jiang Mu Ning's throat. Suddenly, her brows furrowed and her expression changed instantly.
The force she pushed forward seemed to fall lightly in the air. As expected, the warm blood did not spray on her hands. Her wrist holding the knife was instantly clamped by a force, causing her whole body to sway, and the surrounding scene changed thousands of miles away in an instant.
Bai Qingqing slightly opened her arms and stepped on her heels, trying to stabilize her body immediately, but her arms and heels repeatedly collided with heavy and soft obstacles.
She touched a piece of fine cloth and smelled a familiar scent. Bai Qingqing recognized the man and raised the hilt of the knife, thrusting it upwards and striking the Adam's apple of the man beside her!
Ji Kui quickly took a step back, but did not loosen his grip on her wrist. He said quickly, "Bai Qingqing, it's me."
"I'm going to hit you!"
How could there be such a thing in the world!
She put the knife to the man's neck!
How can you still let someone take you away when you are already bleeding? ! !
Under the bright moonlight, Bai Qingqing's eyes were as clear as a trapped little animal, reflecting Ji Kui's angry face. She turned her wrist flexibly, and the bronze dagger in her hand seemed to have eyes. The tip of the knife slid backwards in a strange posture and slid towards Ji Kui's wrist.
Ji Kui released his grip on her and his sleeve was torn.
A hint of green circled in her palm, and the hilt of the knife returned to her hand and was firmly grasped. Bai Qingqing chased after Ji Kui's two steps back and caught up with the blade. In the blink of an eye, she had raised her hand high and pressed it against the carotid artery on the side of his neck. With the other hand, she pinched a seal and hung it in front of Ji Kui's eyes, ready to strike.
"You'd better give me a reason I can accept, otherwise I'll kill you first..." Bai Qingqing paused here, remembering that she still owed Ji Kui a favor and had once said that she would save his life.
She urgently changed her words: "Otherwise I will kill her every day, and there will always be a time when you can't defend yourself!"
Ji Kui saw the embarrassment that flashed across Bai Qingqing's face for a moment, his chest trembling, and he laughed. Before she could get even angrier, he moved his neck, which was just a hair's breadth away from the blade, forward and said under her knife, "Kill Jiang Mu Ning, and the world will immediately restart."
Does Ji Kui know?
Bai Qingqing frowned and stared into Ji Kui's eyes.
Although there was still a smile on his face, his eyes were still serious. Without knowing the inside story, he couldn't say such words. So Ji Kui not only awakened in the small world in the book, but also grasped the rules of the small world?
How did he know that once Jiang Mu Ning died... [The small world would restart? ]
Ji Kui looked at Bai Qingqing quietly. She stood still under her sharp blade. Seeing that she had almost finished thinking, he raised his hands in surrender: "Can you let me go?"
"What's your proof? Have you ever killed anyone?" Bai Qingqing didn't move her knife. She ignored his hands raised to the side of his head and stepped closer to examine him.
The fact that Ji Kui could say such things means that he might have done it.
She had been here for nearly four months, so if the small world had restarted, she must have known about it, otherwise she would have taken advantage of the instability of the heavenly way and ran away. So... was it Ji Kui who killed Jiang Mu Ning before she came?
Before Jiang Mu Ning found the Jiang family, Ji Kui knew about her and had an encounter with her? Or even killed her?
No... [Unless there is something I don't know...]
[If he really killed someone, unless... it wasn't his first time. ]
The top of the man's head only reached his chest, and now it was barely at the same height as his shoulders. It might be a bit difficult for him to keep the knife on his neck.
Ji Kui tilted his head under her blade and glanced down at Bai Qingqing's slightly raised feet, barefoot on the ground, the soles of her feet covered with mud, and one side of her foot was slightly red, obviously caused by the friction when she was steadying her body just now.
He held Bai Qingqing's shoulders with both hands, and a yellow talisman burned on his body without fire. The two of them disappeared into the forest by the river.
The surrounding scene changed again. Ji Kui invited everyone to sit on the sofa, turned around and went to the entrance to take out a pair of new slippers, then bent down and placed them at Bai Qingqing's feet.
Her feet were on the carpet, and in the moment she sat down, a layer of mud had already formed on it.
Ji Kui: "This conversation may be a bit long, would you like some water?"
"Hey, where can I wash my feet?"
"Over there." Ji Kui pointed in a direction and turned around to pour her some water.
Five minutes later, the two people were standing and sitting in front of the sofa.
Ji Kui was sitting, and Bai Qingqing was standing cautiously beside him wearing new slippers, holding a dagger in her hand, as if she would use the knife if Ji Kui said something wrong.
Bai Qingqing took a sip of water, put down the cup, and raised her hand towards Ji Kui: "Begin."
"You came here on May 26th of this year, right? She was resuscitated twice in the ambulance, but unfortunately she was unsuccessful, so Li Qingqing became Bai Qingqing."
"How should I know that?"
Ji Kui looked at Bai Qingqing's expression and asked for her without her asking. He replied, "Because I tried to save you before the car accident and I also tried to save you during the rescue. This is not the first time we are talking."
"Bai Qingqing, this is not the first time I've met you. I've participated in almost every fight you've started since you came back."
Sometimes, there is no time to participate...
The black bamboo shadows were cast on the sofa and swayed in the wind.
It must be a gentle breeze that can make the dense bamboo leaves rustle and shake every strand of bamboo.
Bai Qingqing stared at the scattered bamboo shadows for a moment, then caught the key words in Ji Kui's sentence and frowned: "Come back?"
"What kind of return are you talking about?"
"Your eldest brother also asked me this question a few days ago, but I didn't have time to answer it at that time. I only had the opportunity to tell him later."
Ji Kui looked at her with gentle eyes, with a barely perceptible sympathy in his eyes, as if it was for Bai Qingqing, but also for himself.
He whispered, "You are Li Qingqing."
Bai Qingqing's hand holding the knife relaxed for a moment, and when she came to her senses, she suddenly laughed, raised the knife and stepped forward, placing the blade against Ji Kui's shoulder, "Think carefully before you speak."
"From beginning to end, it was all you, no one else."
He glanced at the turquoise dagger on his shoulder and suddenly laughed: "But this is the first time you put a dagger on my neck. You are getting more and more fierce."
This person knew clearly that he would not stab his aorta!
Bai Qingqing was irritated by his laughter. She took back the dagger and threw it on the sofa. She picked up the water cup and took a big sip: "Tell me more!"
"You hit me very hard just now, and you wanted to kill me." Ji Kui touched his throat with his slender fingertips, and his expression looked like he was still frightened.
It was the first time that Bai Qingqing saw the usually dignified Ji Kui with such a servile expression. She was speechless and said, "Who asked you to elaborate on this?"
Ji Kui put down his hand, his eyes wide open with a smile: "I know, but every time I look forward to this scene, Bai Qingqing, Master Bai, from now on, you have to consider saving your life and mine."
During the brief silence, Bai Qingqing said "hmm".
Ji Kui really didn't seem to be joking. Now that I think about it, he was very different from the character described in the novel when he first appeared, and his attitude towards her was also ambiguous.
He didn't seem like a vicious and scheming enemy who treated his brother's wife, but rather like an old friend he had known for many years.
Apart from the reason Ji Kui just gave, she couldn't think of any reason why Ji Kui treated her like that from the beginning.
One-sidedly, Ji Kui seemed to understand her very well.
Not only understand her as a person and her affairs, but also understand her likes and dislikes.
Bai Qingqing thought about it and looked down at the dry slippers on her feet.
Ji Kui was kind to her...
If he didn't have some other purpose and was just pretending from beginning to end.
Bai Qingqing raised her eyes again and looked at Ji Kui who was sitting across the sofa, with undisguised vigilance in her eyes.
Ji Kui received her gaze, put away all his joking expressions and smiles, and said seriously: "I didn't lie to you just now. You are indeed Li Qingqing, but someone turned you into Bai Qingqing from another world."
"Who?" Bai Qingqing asked immediately, looking at Ji Kui opposite her, frowning: "You?"
The only one who can do these things in this small world is Ji Kui, who possesses dragon energy and can die in place of the male protagonist of the novel.
Ji Kui shook his head in her eyes: "I don't have such great ability. If I did, I wouldn't be sitting here talking to you about this now. I would have ended it all long ago."
"It took the combined efforts of the Bai and Ao families, 143 lives. Before they died, each of them made the same wish, using their chance of reincarnation, hoping that you could escape this fate and regain a life that has nothing to do with your current one."
"Is it magical?" Ji Kui smiled slightly when he said this.
"They actually created a new world just like this, a new world that has nothing to do with this place, and sent you into it after your death, giving you another life as Bai Qingqing."
Bai Qingqing: “…”
Bai Qingqing sat on the sofa and didn't say anything for a while.
Ji Kui also stopped talking, picked up the teacup and drank slowly.
Bai Qingqing said slowly, "Then why did I come back? According to what you said, I shouldn't be here now, so why was I pulled into this world?"
"Because it's your own choice." Ji Kui seemed to have known that she would ask this question. He put down the teacup and answered without thinking.
"Except for the first time, when you really came in by accident, every time after that, it was your own choice to come back."
“What’s the number now?”
"The three hundred and ninety-first time."
"...Why did I choose to come back?" Ji Kui answered too quickly. Bai Qingqing still felt a little unreal. She suddenly smiled and said:
"It can't be that I heard that the Bai and Ao families offered me the opportunity to reincarnate, and I was moved and decided to come back to save them, right?"
joke.
Suppose what Ji Kui just said was true.
Her own world is fake, but that doesn't prevent her from having any feelings for Bai Ao's family.
Their behaviors and attitudes have changed, but the disgusting things they did before are still there. Even if they are controlled by the Heavenly Dao, their personalities over the years have long been integrated into their souls and flesh, becoming an inseparable part of them.
Even if things get better in the future, how good can it be?
She didn't even have time to run away, so why would she come back for them?
"Well... the first time you said you came back for yourself, you refused to accept it, you wanted to take back your life and defeat Jiang Mu Ning."
Ji Kui turned the cup in his hand and added some warm water to Bai Qingqing and himself.
"For the 70th, 80th, and 90th time, you said that you didn't really care about winning or losing. You just wanted a warm and ordinary home. That world was fake, and you wanted a real home of your own."
"For the 23rd time, you said that you and her would never reconcile because of Jiang Mu Ning."
"From the 40th to the 70th time, you succeeded in killing Jiang Mu Ning 13 times, and the world immediately restarted each time. The 17 times you failed, you died and came back without giving any reason."
"From the 80th to the 120th time, you wanted to save everyone's life and change everyone's fate, so you firmly summoned yourself back each time."
"Do you want me to continue?" Ji Kui looked at her and pushed the teacup filled with water towards her.
"Your personality is a little different every time, and your reasons for coming back are also different. Bai Qingqing, if this is not the last time, I am very curious about your reasons this time."
Bai Qingqing: "...I won't come back this time."
Ji Kui smiled and picked up the teacup: "This is the 270th time you've said this."
From Ji Kui's mouth, Bai Qingqing heard a more complete picture of Li Qingqing's life from another perspective.
She went from being resentful, jealous, and twisted, fighting and competing with Jiang Mu Ning, to gradually trusting Ji Kui. Her personality gradually became calmer, she spoke less and less, and she no longer just focused on Jiang Mu Ning.
Every time Li Qingqing comes back, her personality is different, and the plot changes slightly accordingly. The new world created for her by the Bai and Ao families is also slightly different every time.
Gradually, Bai Qingqing was shaped into what she is now.
As Ji Kui said, this conversation lasted really long.
She didn't believe it, but a voice in her heart told her that this was true. She didn't know if it was because she had sat in Ji Kui's living room for too long, but she even began to feel that this scene was familiar.
"Since I forget every time, why do you remember it?"
"You should have discovered that the rules of this small world are such that even if a plot is outrageous, there will always be reasonable details to fill in the gaps."
Ji Kui paused and said, "The purpose of saying this is just to explain that I, Ji Kui, am the one who replaces the male and female protagonists to mend the way of heaven at the end of the story."
"If my ability is too weak, this matter will become unreasonable."
"So logically, I should be the strongest person in this small world."
Bai Qingqing: “…”
Why does Ji Kui, who has spoken out all his thoughts, look a little shameless...
"I understand what you said. I will believe you for now. Since you said Jiang Mu Ning cannot be killed, what should we do?"
"have no idea."
The person on the other side said these three words coldly and naturally.
Bai Qingqing closed her eyes and clenched her fists.
Was she really not fooled by Ji Kui? ! !
It’s better not to have it, otherwise she will feel ashamed and will really kill someone to keep her mouth shut!
…
Luocheng.
The moment Bai Qingqing left, a "bang" sound was heard on the floor.
Upstairs and downstairs, Jiang Mu Ning and Bai Siming opened their eyes at the same time.
The latter's eyes were clear and he immediately sat up and strode upstairs.
Upstairs, Jiang Muning suddenly opened his eyes and felt a huge fear in his heart for no reason. He felt a black shadow flash past in front of his eyes, like a blurry human figure.
The three words "Bai Qingqing" instantly emerged in her mind.
But if it was a person, the shadow was too big. Jiang Muning's heart was pounding. He supported himself on the soft bed and sat up with great effort. As soon as he exerted force, he felt a sharp pain in his neck.
The sound of hurried footsteps came from the direction of the stairs. Without thinking too much, I knew it was Bai Siming coming up.
Jiang Mu Ning's mind was confused for a moment, and he didn't know how he got upstairs. He felt a little relieved in his heart. When his fingertips touched the painful spot on his neck, he looked around carefully.
The workbench was empty, there was no one in sight, and even the furnishings on the table had not changed.
The shadow of the tree outside the two-story building fell on her. The huge tree canopy cast a black shadow, which spread from her body to the wooden floor under the hammock.
I must have seen it wrong… She stretched the hand that was touching her neck in front of her eyes.
The fingertips were stained bright red.
Jiang Muning opened her eyes wide in fear and raised her hands to cover her neck tightly. Her mind frantically replayed the scene of Bai Qingqing squatting beside her and pointing a dagger at her head.
Her tears rolled down her cheeks like beads from a broken string. She heard footsteps coming up the stairs and struggled to get out of the hammock.
Bai Siming strode up to the second floor, and hesitated behind the partition that blocked half of the bedroom. He paused, but still did not move forward.
There is only a partition but no door on the second floor.
He stood behind the wall and asked anxiously, "Bai Qingqing?"
"Second brother..." Jiang Mu Ning's crying voice came from another direction, and it was obvious that something had happened.
There was no sound coming from Bai Qingqing's place, and there was no movement in the bedroom either.
Bai Siming no longer hesitated. He stretched his head to look at the bed in the bedroom, followed Jiang Mu Ning's voice and moved forward. He saw Jiang Mu Ning sitting in the middle of the hammock with his hands tightly protecting his neck, looking at him with tears in his eyes.
"I...my neck seems to have been cut, there's blood..."
Bai Siming's figure appeared, and there was no trace of Bai Qingqing around. Jiang Muning's body was stuck in the hammock, and he had no strength to get down. He was completely relieved and sobbed.
Bai Siming turned on the light, and the whole room suddenly became bright, causing Jiang Muning to close his eyes.
Bai Siming immediately looked around the entire second floor and saw that there was no one else around except them. He immediately strode up to Jiang Mu Ning and asked her, "Where's Bai Qingqing?"
He stayed alert at night, but apart from the noise coming from the ceiling just now, he didn't hear any of the noise in Bai Qingqing's heart from beginning to end.
A few minutes ago, he suddenly sensed a murderous aura and felt uneasy. Now he saw that there was one person missing in the room...
Bai Siming looked stern. He pulled down Jiang Mu Ning's hand that was covering his neck and saw that her palm was bright red.
Blood flowed down the white neck, spreading a bloody color on the white silk pajamas.
He immediately bent down and looked at her wound carefully, and the coldness between his eyebrows seemed to be able to produce frost.
Jiang Mu Ning looked up obediently as he examined her. She hadn't looked in the mirror until now. She only knew that she had lost a lot of blood. Then, looking at Bai Siming's serious expression, she instantly felt dizzy.
"Second, second brother..." she called out in a trembling voice.
"It's okay, it's just a little skin break, just bandage it." Bai Siming let go of his hand after checking.
The wound was caused by a sharp weapon. Judging from the direction of the wound, the person who did it should have been very decisive, but I don’t know why he suddenly stopped halfway.
Otherwise, the gradually deepening force from the left side should have been able to cut her throat.
Thinking of what Bai Qingqing said at night, Bai Siming had a bad feeling in his heart. But if it was really Qingqing who did it, why did she suddenly stop moving at this time and disappear?
Apart from encountering danger and being forced to stop, Bai Siming could not think of a second explanation.
"Where's Bai Qingqing? You slept together, where did she go?"
Bai Siming asked quickly, not caring about Jiang Mu Ning's injury.
Jiang Mu Ning was swinging on the hammock with trembling hands, covering his neck, unable to find a foothold. He felt even more aggrieved when Bai Siming questioned him so fiercely.
"We didn't sleep together. She slept on the bed in the bedroom, and I slept on the hammock. Second brother... my injury..."
"Don't touch it. I'll get you the medicine box later."
When Bai Siming heard her say she didn't know, he searched upstairs and around the house. Finally, he sat back in the living room with a computer in his arms and checked the surveillance cameras around the house.
No, no one went out...
Bai Siming frowned and closed his eyes, thinking of Bai Qingqing's ability to appear and disappear without a trace.
It's normal even if the surveillance camera didn't capture her going out.
But if she was kidnapped, he wouldn't even be able to find her, let alone help her...
Jiang Muning was at the second-floor window when he saw Bai Siming quickly walk into the yard, but he didn't go upstairs for a long time. He went to the bathroom to check his wound, and then he felt a little relieved. Then he put on a coat and went downstairs nervously.
There was a laptop in front of Bai Siming, and I didn't know what he was looking at.
Jiang Mu Ning felt that this atmosphere was not one she could disturb by making a sound, so she chose to keep quiet and move closer.
Bai Siming, who had closed his eyes and frowned, opened his eyes, looked at her, relaxed his brows, quickly got up and took out a large medicine box from the cabinet, washed his hands at the sink, and came back. Seeing that she was hesitant, he pointed at the sofa.
"Sit down, I'll give you some medicine."
Jiang Muning sat down on the sofa obediently and glanced at his computer screen.
But the screen was completely black. It was obvious that Bai Siming had locked the computer screen before he got up.
Bai Siming opened the medicine box, used tweezers to hold a cotton ball dipped in alcohol, and wiped off the slightly dried blood on her neck. While treating the injury, he asked, "Did you see who hurt you? What happened just now?"
Jiang Mu Ning tilted his neck, not daring to move, and looked up at the ceiling and answered slowly: "I didn't see it clearly. I was sleeping just now, and suddenly I felt someone in front of me and woke up. But when I opened my eyes, there was no one around me, and my neck was already injured."
"Who made that noise just now?"
"Noise?" Jiang Mu Ning's eyes were blank. "I didn't hear it."
She woke up because she felt a stabbing pain and panic, and didn't hear any sound.
When Bai Siming asked these questions, she actually had some guesses in her mind, and nine out of ten times, it was Bai Qingqing who did it.
She used to squat in front of her with a knife in the middle of the night, put the knife on her neck and forced her to cry, but now she can just cut her neck, warn her and run away.
But since she did it, why did he leave without saying anything to her?
Could it be because Bai Siming came up too quickly and she didn't have time?
Bai Siming: "Did you find anything else? Or something wrong?"
Jiang Muning: "..."
If it were in the past, she would have confidently said that it was Bai Qingqing who did it, but now... she didn't dare.
Even though the system didn't tell her the exact favorability of these characters, at this critical moment, even if she couldn't get a single point from Bai Siming, she couldn't let the favorability drop any further.
Is Bai You the only one left now?
Thinking of the scenes from his previous life, Jiang Muning's hands, which were supporting his body on the sofa, couldn't help but tremble.
That was when she and Ji Ke announced their wedding date.
Bai You was in poor health. When she was three and a half years old, she was raised in the Bai family's home for six years. She didn't know what had caught his eye about her, but that made her stick to him every day and he even said that he wanted to marry her in the future and let her be his bride.
The whole family laughed at that time. Seeing that the annoying child liked him so much, Jiang Muning didn't hate this follower so much anymore.
Later, before Bai You's tenth birthday, he suddenly fell ill and was sent for emergency treatment. She followed his family all the way, holding his hand and sending Bai You to the ambulance. That was the last time they saw each other in their childhood.
For many years afterwards, she never heard from Bai You again and forgot about him, until... she and Ji Ke announced that their wedding would be held in a month and a half and sent an invitation to Bai You.
She was kidnapped and imprisoned by Bai You.
The once chubby slug grew into a tall and slim teenager. Because he had not seen the sun for many years, his skin was so white that it was almost transparent, and his eyes were as clear as an angel's.
It was this angel who handcuffed her wrists, lay beside her day and night, and said that he would be the groom at the wedding.
She was imprisoned for a month and a half, and all her life was done in bed. Even when she went to the toilet, Bai You followed her.
No one told her the date, and there was no way for her to contact the outside world. The maid who brought her meals when Bai You was not around never spoke to her. Every day was just dusk and dawn, and the days passed by, blurring the time.
She slept so hard that she began to lose track of how many days she had been imprisoned.
Only Bai You was lying quietly beside her when she opened her eyes.
He still looked very weak and was always sleeping soundly.
He lay an inch away from the restraints of her handcuffs, so that her hands could not touch his fragile and slender neck.
"I will marry you, sister." He would lower his head forward and carefully place it on her fingertips.
"I thought it was just a joke when we were little, but the first time I saw you again I knew, sister, my bride can only be you."
A tear fell from the corner of Jiang Mu Ning's eye and passed in front of Bai Siming's eyes.
Bai Siming paused as he applied the ointment: "Did it hurt you?"
Jiang Mu Ning opened his eyes, his eyes red: "No, I was just a little scared. I thought I was going to die."
Bai Siming took back the cotton swab and threw it into the trash can in front of him: "You won't die. The wound is not deep, so there is no need to suture it. It's better not to bandage it at this temperature. Be careful in the next few days and don't get it wet."
Jiang Mu Ning nodded sullenly: "Thank you, second brother."
If I could only see Baek Yoo once...
I only saw him once.
Although it was risky, in her previous life, she was abducted and imprisoned by Bai You after Bai Qingqing's death. There was no possibility that these two people would have had any contact with each other before.
