28. Night 28 Motosen
The next day, the system's intelligent brain fell into a deep sleep again, and no matter how Lu Xi called it, it did not respond.
Lu Xi got the latest information about Arsente. This information was more abundant and more detailed than what Yuan Mu showed her. For example, Arsente was now studying in a high school in Xiecheng. It was a school founded by the Yuan family. It was a mixed school for demons and humans, but humans did not know that some of their classmates were demons.
This high school is not the first high school that Assente has attended. Due to their slow growth, their growth period takes many years, and they will study in these schools with different identities.
What Lu Xi has to do is to accompany his child in his studies.
To make it easier to take care of his daily life.
Assente no longer belongs to any housekeeper, and it has always been Yuanshi who has arranged for someone to take care of him.
Although Lu Xi didn't know the woman's purpose, she couldn't leave anyway, so she decided to wait and see.
Under the guidance of a special person, Lu Xi completed the admission procedures smoothly. However, Asent's class was special, so she could not join and entered the class of ordinary humans.
Xiecheng High School is a very famous private high school. Basically, the students who come here to study are children of wealthy families. Everyone has a private room. However, when Lu Xi saw the single-family villa that belonged only to Assente, he was still slightly surprised.
The Yuan family is indeed wealthy and powerful.
Lu Xi pushed open the heavy door, and with a creaking sound, the luxuriously decorated interior of the villa appeared before his eyes.
She only took a glance at the huge living environment and knew how difficult it would be to clean up in the future.
Lu Xi didn't stay for long. After moving the luggage into the room, he took out a booklet and started looking through it.
This was given to her by Madam Yuan before she came here. It was said to be something left by the person who used to take care of Assente's daily life. It records Assente's behavior habits, etc.
She was a little distracted as she stared at the booklet in her hand. Not long ago, the bullied little mermaid was treated so carefully and lovingly. She wanted to see what he looked like now.
Lu Xi packed her luggage as instructed in the booklet and prepared a table of food, feeling somewhat nervous.
She was different now, and Arsenal probably wouldn't recognize her, or perhaps he had forgotten who she was.
While Lu Xi was lost in thought, it was getting dark, and Arsenal had not returned yet. According to what was written in the booklet, Arsenal often did not return, so now she could rest on her own.
In the next few days, Lu Xi didn't see Arsenal.
"Lu Xi, let's go to the newly opened ice cream shop outside the school. I heard it's really delicious." Li Cancan is Lu Xi's deskmate. They became friends just a few days after entering school.
After all, Lu Xi is pretty and seems to be very good at studying. She can always answer perfectly when the teacher calls her name. Although she has a quiet personality, who can blame them for being obsessed with looks?
Beautiful things are always liked by more people.
Lu Xi has a mission to accomplish, so she usually returns to the villa after class and waits for orders. She always refuses any invitations.
"No, my mom asked me to go home early."
"Just this once. Call your mom. She won't be so cruel. You're already in high school."
"Yeah, you're not a primary school student. It's okay to go home late. You'll be with your classmates anyway." Xu Ting said. She is Li Cancan's best friend and they have been friends since childhood.
"Go ahead, go ahead."
Lu Xi was silent. She had been waiting for Arsenal for two weeks. Although she was very worried, she called Mrs. Yuan several times, but she always told her not to worry. It seemed to be a common occurrence.
Maybe I won’t come back today.
"Okay." Lu Xi nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, I succeeded." Li Cancan jumped up happily, "Tingting, I persuaded her. You're the one who promised to treat us."
"Okay, got it."
A silver bell-like laughter rang in my ears, writing about the beauty of youth. It was a pity that although Lu Xi was wearing the skin of a young girl, she was no longer young. She might even be the oldest monster living here, after all, she had been to so many worlds.
There was a crowd of people in the ice cream shop.
"Lu Xi, I heard that Qi Zize from Class 1 confessed to you. Is that true?" Li Cancan said while eating.
"That's great. I want to be a beauty too."
"Tell me quickly, how does it feel to have the school hunk confess his love to you?" Xu Ting's eyes sparkled. "Isn't it super cool?"
"To say that Qi Zize is the most handsome boy on campus... I don't think that's right." Li Cancan shook her head and said, "I've seen people who are more handsome than him. And they are ten thousand times more handsome. He is the most handsome person I have ever seen."
"How is that possible? Is there anyone in our school more handsome than Qi Zize? Who is he and which class is he from?"
"Well... I don't know..."
"What? You're not lying, are you?"
"Of course not, it's true anyway." Li Cancan swore, "I only saw it once, and then..."
"Really? Are you really from our school?"
"Yes, he was wearing the uniform of Xiecheng High School." Li Cancan tried hard to recall, but it was strange that she only remembered that the man was very handsome, but she couldn't remember what he looked like.
Lu Xi listened to their chatting and joking absentmindedly, drank a cup of ice cream, and didn't go home until dark.
Today is Friday, and most students have gone home for the weekend. Only Lu Xi returned to the dark campus.
The teaching building, which was usually bright and bright for evening study, was now only left with a towering black shadow, and the strong wind blew through it, making it particularly creepy.
Lu Xi returned to the door of the villa and just as she put her hand on the door handle, she paused because someone entered before her.
Is Ascent back?
There was no light on in the villa. Outside, there was a rustling sound of swaying trees, and sparse shadows of trees were reflected on the glass.
It wasn't until Lu Xi turned on the crystal chandelier above her head that the eerie atmosphere was dispelled, but at the same time, a strong smell of blood hit her nose, and her heart tightened.
When I looked closely, I found a row of bloodstains on the ground, extending all the way to the second floor. Could it be that Asent was injured?
The door of the bathroom on the second floor was ajar. The strong smell of blood was nauseating. Lu Xi pushed the door open without hesitation.
Blood, lots of blood, the bathtub was dyed red, long silver-blue hair was spread in the blood, and there was a person inside with eyes closed, motionless, only the bathtub faucet was constantly adding water.
The blood overflowed from the bathtub and flowed down the drain, but no matter how it was flushed, the blood remained as red as ever.
"Asent, what's wrong with you?"
Lu Xi tried her best to wake him up, and after shaking him many times, the mermaid slowly opened her empty eyes.
Pure silver-blue eyes stared at her sideways, but their gaze seemed to be fixed on somewhere even further away.
A very strange and cold look.
Lu Xi didn't care about anything else and quickly drained the blood in the bathtub to check if he was injured, but found that she didn't have any wounds on her body, so where did the blood come from?
"Asent..."
Before Lu Xi could finish her words, she suddenly felt dizzy and her head hit the bathtub hard. She was sure that if her body was not made of special materials but ordinary ceramic clay, she would have been smashed into pieces by now.
"Newcomer?" The boy's voice was clear and melodious, like a harp plucked by an angel. However, the hand with sharp claws pinched her neck, and even though her body was cold, she still felt a chill. "I'll only say this once. My name is Yuan Sen."
The boy's beautiful face merged with the cute mermaid from his childhood. He looked unchanged, except that his facial features were more sculpted and sharper, his nose was smooth, his thin lips were lightly pink, and his skin was as smooth as jade.
His long silver-blue hair spread out behind him, and his body was covered in blood, sticking wetly to his skin. He looked like an elf dragged into hell by the devil.
What Lu Xi cared about most was his sapphire-like eyes, which were beautiful but always empty.
It's like...
It's like he can't see...
"You..." The claws on his neck loosened. Lu Xi wanted to ask him about his eyes, but was worried that he would suddenly attack like before. "... Let me help you drain the water again."
As she said this, she got up and gave him more water.
The mermaids nowadays are much stronger than her.
After changing the water four or five times, the blood on the mermaid's body was finally washed away. Lu Xi took out a bath towel to help him dry his body. When she was thinking about how to carry him out, something surprising happened.
She watched helplessly as the mermaid's tail split apart and turned into a pair of smooth white legs. His long silver-blue hair became shorter and shorter, and finally his round toes stepped on the smooth floor. Lu Xi's mind was confused for a moment, and then she grabbed the bathrobe and put it on him.
Fortunately, the mermaid had his back to her, so she didn't see his private parts. Even though he was still a child in her eyes, she didn't have the habit of peeking at other people's private parts.
The mermaid left the bathroom by himself, saving Lu Xi the trouble of finding a wheelchair to move him out. However, the bloodstains all over the villa would take some effort to clean up.
By the time Lu Xi finished cleaning, it was already late at night.
There was no class on the weekend, so Lu Xi prepared breakfast carefully. The manual said that mermaids don't like others to wake them up, so after making breakfast, she just waited downstairs.
She sat quietly on the sofa reading a book until noon, when she saw someone in a nightgown coming downstairs.
When he turned into a human, his hair was no longer so long. Instead, it was the same as the photo Lu Xi saw, with short silver-blue hair and messy, slightly curled hair.
But his facial features are more mature than the man in the photo, and it can be seen that the photo was not taken recently. This shows that he really doesn't like taking photos.
But that photo was just a candid shot.
The mermaid walked down the stairs barefoot. His nightgown was loose, and the open neckline revealed his snow-white shoulders and round collarbones. If it weren't for the belt, the nightgown would have fallen off. It seemed that he didn't even pull it up when he got up.
Lu Xi hurried over to help him put his robe in order. The mermaid, who had transformed into a human form, was a full head taller than her. "You're awake now. Do you want to eat something?"
Lu Xi heated up the cold breakfast. Yuan Sen sniffed it and smelled a familiar yet unfamiliar aroma of food in the air, and a sharp pain flashed through his head.
In just a moment, the stinging disappeared.
Lu Xi sat beside and watched the mermaid eat, feeling a little emotional. For her, taking care of him while he was eating was something that happened not long ago. He was just a little kid before that.
Now, the little dumpling has grown up.
But his eyes...
Lu Xi went back last night and looked through the manual, which said not to ask him about his eyes, as it was a taboo.
Since there is this taboo, it seems that there is something wrong with his eyes. Is he really blind? But why?
Lu Xi stared at the mermaid eating in a trance. There was clearly nothing in his eyes, but he could pick up the knife and fork accurately and would not be tripped by anything when walking. If Lu Xi had not been so perceptive, she would not have noticed that there was something wrong with his eyes.
