Horror Game: Crazy criticizes a beauty who has no martial ethics

Chapter 132 The legacy in the castle (5)

The weather outside the window gradually became gloomy, and thick dark clouds covered the stars and the moon, as if it was about to rain.

Shortly after they returned to their room, the butler brought fluffy strawberry cake, champagne, and a cup of hot cocoa.Si Cheng and Xia Lingge looked at each other, picked up the silver fork placed next to the dinner plate, rubbed a little cream into their mouths, waited for a while and found nothing wrong, then placed the strawberry cake on Xia Lingge.

"no problem."

Then he took another sip of hot cocoa.

Xia Lingge rejected the hot cocoa he offered. It was enough for her to have a piece of cake to replenish her strength. He needed the remaining hot cocoa more than she did.

Sicheng took a sip in silence.

"What's wrong?" Xia Lingge cut a piece of cake and put it in his mouth. "You seemed a little absent-minded when you came out of the master bedroom."

"It's nothing, I just remembered something from my childhood." Si Cheng immediately raised a smile after hearing the question, but the smile was so stiff that it seemed forced.

Xia Lingge suddenly remembered that Si Cheng's father was also an alcoholic, for which his mother, sister and himself had all suffered unspeakable pain.

"Is it your father?" she asked, "Sorry, if my question is a bit abrupt, you can choose to ignore it."

"There's nothing to say."

Sicheng lowered his eyelashes: "Indeed, I was a little touched when I heard 'excessive drinking leads to recurrence of heart disease'. At that time, I was thinking about whether the man who tortured us for fun, caused the death of my mother, and even wanted to use my sister in exchange for money. In which corner did you die?"

This was the first time Xia Lingge listened to Sicheng briefly describe his past in such a comprehensive and straightforward manner. In just a few words, he could imagine how helpless and painful he was when he was young.

"I hope he's not dead yet." Sicheng continued, "I don't want him to die so easily, just freezing to death on the street, or starving to death. He should understand the insults and insults to his mother every time he gets drunk. Beating, the kind of pain that adds another scar before the wound heals."

"And the helplessness and collapse of my sister when he wanted to sell her to an old man. If there is a 19th floor in hell, then I hope he is imprisoned in the deepest underground and never sees the light of day. Haha... Senior sister , am I too cruel to actually curse my biological father to fall to the ground... huh!?"

A pair of slender arms suddenly picked him up slowly, and the girl's unique fragrance made Si Cheng lose his mind for a moment. His eyes widened in disbelief, and his hands were suspended in the air, not knowing what to do.

"I can imagine your suffering, but I can't understand your pain." Xia Lingge's eyes were still dull. "I heard others say that a hug can give you comfort. Have I... comforted you?"

Sicheng was speechless for a long time.

"you……"

Xia Lingge hesitated to take back her hand. After all, the move of stretching out her arms to hang on someone was too monkey-like. For the first time, Xia Lingge felt that she had done something stupid. She was really not suitable to comfort others.

Just as she was about to take her arms back, she didn't expect that a hand suddenly appeared on the back of her head and held her tightly.Sicheng pressed his head against her neck. It was nothing... He always felt that he could tell the past, that is, he could face all the past frankly, without needing sympathy or pity. Those things had already trained him to be as steely as possible. He will never shed tears in front of anyone again.

But it's just a hug,
But it made him fall apart...

The arms that restrained her became tighter and tighter, and Xia Lingge felt as if the wound on her left shoulder had opened, but she said nothing, just stretched out her hand and patted his head gently.

I don't know how long it took, but Sicheng slowly let go of his hand.

"Senior sister..." He saw the blood stains on Xia Lingge's shoulder at a glance. "I-did I put pressure on the wound? I'm sorry...I..."

"fine."

Xia Lingge stretched out his fingertips to poke at the blood: "Look, it stopped bleeding a long time ago."

Si Cheng, who was coaxed like a child: "..." The original medical kit was not put away, but placed in Xia Lingge's bedroom. I don't know if it was because of venting that it adjusted Si Cheng's mood. This time His movements were actually gentler than last time.

'Boom, boom, boom'

"Little Duke, Miss Lingge." The housekeeper outside the door said, "Master Luo, please gather in the hall."

The bright hall was still luxuriously decorated, but those distinguished guests had long since disappeared. Luo Yan, Liu Shiyi, Bai Weiwei and Shen Yu had already gathered and were waiting for them.

The butler brought them coffee and tea.

"Now that everyone is here, let's get started."

Luo Yan acted like a leader and was the first to speak: "The disappearance of the property contract is not a bad thing for us. Everyone wants to pass the customs. You may want to find the property based on your own ability, but I suggest that working together is far better than going alone. It’s easier, maybe we can completely win this game, what do you think?”

"I agree." Bai Weiwei agreed, "I don't know how long it will take to search one by one. If you have to be wary of the people around you, it will be even more difficult. It's better for everyone to work together and wait until the property treaty is found before talking about anything else."

Liu Shiyi said: "Of course I have no objection either."

Their eyes turned to the three young men.

Chen Yu hugged his elbows and said nothing. Xia Lingge picked up the scented tea and blew a puff of mist: "I don't care."

Sicheng said: "I listen to her."

Luo Yan turned to Shen Yu: "What about you?"

"I don't like to cooperate with others, but..." The gloomy gaze fell on Xia Lingge, "It will be fun to play with you."

Xia Lingge ignored him.

"Well."

Luo Yan was very satisfied with their compliance: "I will arrange the task now. I just roughly explored the castle. The castle is divided into the first and second floors. The six of us were divided into two groups."

"My fiancée and Bai Weiwei went together to explore your rooms on the second floor. Shen Yu and I went to the study and Lord Kloster's master bedroom to have a look. As for you..." He turned to Si Cheng and Xia Lingge, "You have injuries on your body. , it’s not appropriate to move around, so come and search the hall.”

"can."

Tasks are assigned and everyone gets started.

There is actually nothing in this hall, just a few tables covered with white velvet and satin, gray sofas, and a few dark brown cabinets.

Xia Lingge sat on the sofa and sipped tea without moving, while Sicheng flipped through the cabinet bit by bit, searching carefully.

"Actually, you don't have to worry so much." Xia Lingge said, "If the property treaty is really man-made, then the thief can't leave it in such a simple place."

"You mean the property was not lost?"

Sicheng turned around and asked her.

"I'm just guessing, but..." Xia Lingge looked at the ripples in the teacup, "I'm more inclined to believe that there is no property treaty in the brown-red box at all."
