Chapter 127: Borrowing Flowers to Offer to Buddha
Zhao Fenglin had another nightmare. She dreamed that she was locked in a dark warehouse. It was so quiet that she could only hear her own heartbeat.
No one came to take care of her, so she was tied to a pillar and was held at gunpoint whenever she went to the toilet or took a shower.
This kind of life lasted for more than half a month, and the psychological pressure it brought to people could not be eliminated in a short time.
No...don't do this!
Zhao Fenglin woke up suddenly, with beads of sweat on her forehead. She tilted her head, and the spring moonlight shone in through the open curtains.
Beside him was Gu Mei, who was sleeping soundly. Her red hair covered her high nose bridge, and her red hair rose and fell, swaying slightly with her breathing.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Mei had sharp hearing. She opened her eyes immediately and looked at Zhao Fenglin worriedly. Obviously, she had also noticed something strange about him in the past few days.
Zhao Fenglin had been locked up for too long, and his psychology had become somewhat distorted. He remembered that Bai Yanxing had once said that his father had studied psychology books.
Gu Mei made up her mind that she would take people to visit Bai He at dawn tomorrow, at least to ease Zhao Fenglin's most tense nerves.
She couldn't just ignore the person she loved, so she had to at least try her best to save him.
"Another nightmare..."
He stretched out his slender fingers and gently patted Zhao Fenglin on the back, just like how Zhao Fenglin comforted himself during the time when he was fighting the infection.
Zhao Fenglin now has short, messy hair.
But it is not ugly, on the contrary, it has a neutral and heroic style.
Sure enough, the person you like is good-looking even if he or she is bald.
Gu Mei expressed her sincere emotion in her heart.
"Sorry for waking you."
"You don't have to apologize. Your situation is even more serious now."
Gu Mei slowly leaned over and put their foreheads together. She felt that Zhao Fenglin's body temperature was low, which was very different from his previous body temperature.
It seems that after experiencing ups and downs, even a personality as bright as the sun will change.
"Can't sleep now?"
Gu Mei is tough and cold towards people mostly, but she is neither humble nor arrogant towards people like Bai Yanxing and Su Tang who have higher status than her.
But he treats Zhao Fenglin with his own unique tenderness.
"Um…"
Zhao Fenglin nodded slightly. She was awakened by a nightmare and was unwilling to fall into it again no matter what.
"Then get up and change. I'll take you somewhere."
Gu Mei thought about it and felt that she should not let Zhao Fenglin go through this painful and tragic experience alone, but should force her way into his world, pull him together, and walk out of this sadness together.
Then she got up on her own.
With her long hair tied up, her red hair looked even more hazy under the moonlight.
Zhao Fenglin was stunned for a moment. The impact of the nightmare had subsided a lot. She looked down at her wrist and could see a blood scab on it in the bright moonlight.
The light bruises have healed a lot after applying ointment for a few days.
I believe that I will be able to get back on my feet soon.
She also slowly changed her clothes, and the two of them went out under the moonlight. The Black Wolf Gang was not particularly quiet because there were still patrolling soldiers.
Although those people were surprised to see Gu Mei, they could still recognize her appearance at a glance.
He nodded without asking any further questions.
It has to be said that having a good relationship with Miss Su is somewhat useful. Gu Mei arrived at the meeting hall without any obstruction.
Because she often helped people move things, she even had the key to this place. She inserted the key into the keyhole and easily opened the closed door.
"What are we doing here?"
Gu Mei thought about it and pushed the door open. The door made a clear "creaking" sound. The whole auditorium was very quiet, but if you look carefully, you will find that this place is different from before.
Strings of colorful light bulbs were hung from the ceiling of the conference hall.
Gu Mei came to the corner of the conference hall, where musical instruments were covered with white cloth. She pulled off the cloth and found drums, guitars and other things inside. It could be said that the collection was very complete.
"Why has it become like this?"
Zhao Fenglin remembered that the last time he came to the Great Hall, it was still very simple and plain.
"Because someone is planning a wedding."
Gu Mei glanced at the guitar with a gentle expression.
Her family background is actually not bad. Her aunt used to be a company executive, and her grandparents are also businessmen and run a supermarket.
Gu Mei can be said to have fallen from heaven to hell, but she did not give up on herself or complain about herself. Instead, she chose to shoulder the responsibilities of her father and mother.
"Can we touch... This isn't nice."
Zhao Fenglin frowned. Anyone who could hold a wedding in the Great Hall must be a high-ranking member of the Black Wolf Gang. It would not be nice to touch other people's things.
Moreover, it is obvious that these things were carefully collected, and they must have taken a lot of effort.
“That’s okay, because I’m the guitarist.”
"I can tell them that this is my private rehearsal."
Gu Mei came to the switch nearby and turned on the light. All the small bulbs hanging on the ceiling of the conference hall lit up.
Brilliant and dazzling.
Gu Mei sat on the chair. She had to thank Su Tang and Bai Yanxing for one thing. If it weren't for them, she would not have the chance to touch the guitar again.
It was just a few days of rehearsal.
Otherwise, even if she had played the guitar before, if she were to pick it up again now, she would probably only be able to play out-of-tune notes and would not be able to string them together into a song.
"Sit here."
Gu Mei pointed to the audience seats on the side, and Zhao Fenglin walked over obediently. She could hear the sound of guitar strumming and the preparations for tuning.
"I thought I would only be able to touch sniper rifles in my life."
Gu Mei smiled teasingly, even the love songs she was learning were from discs that Su Tang had found for her.
I have to say that Gu Mei really owes Su Tang too much.
Moreover, using the wedding music that the other party carefully prepared to please his girlfriend is a bad thing no matter how you think about it.
But there's nothing we can do, just let her be the bad guy for once, she just needs an audience to listen anyway.
This seems like an attempt to offer something to someone else.
But so what?
Gu Mei wanted to wash away all the uneasiness that Zhao Fenglin had experienced in the past few days. After the soothing prelude ended, she opened her voice softly, and Gu Mei did not sing out of tune.
Her voice was magnetic, pouring out from the guitar strings. The vocals and the music intertwined with each other, as if they could soothe all the anxiety in Zhao Fenglin's heart.
The nightmares of being locked in the small room also dissipated.
The two of them stayed there for a long time, until Gu Mei's voice became a little hoarse, before she put the guitar back into the box and covered it with a white cloth.
"Let's go."
Zhao Fenglin subconsciously wanted to find water, but then he remembered that they didn't bring any water when they came out, so he had to give up.
“You sing so beautifully.”
Zhao Fenglin raised the corners of his mouth, finally revealing a rare smile.
