Close Your Eyes When It Gets Dark

I was even more worried now that I had promised Yanzheng. I was still full of lice, but I wanted to get rid of them for someone else.

Just like this, after waiting for an unknown amount of time, I hugged my knees in exhaustion and fell asleep.

This time, he wasn't as lucky as last time. When he woke up, not only was he not saved, he was actually woken up by rolling around. The ball didn't hurt much, but it shook so much that he felt like vomiting. If it wasn't for the fact that my stomach was empty, I would have vomited already.

Did Lu Qinglang come to save me? When I was happy, I took off my hood!

Finally, there was a glimmer of light, and I felt extremely happy and tearful.

A pair of hands reached in through the crack, ripping it wider.

"Lu Qinglang, you're finally here!" I sniffled, feeling particularly wronged.

However, as soon as I shouted this out, Lu Qinglang immediately stopped and left …

My heart leaped. Could it be that the one who came was not Lu Qinglang?

That crack is only the size of a head. I don't think I should open it myself. He stretched out his hand but didn't dare to touch it.

This was a huge centipede! Disgusting fleshly centipede!

After a few gestures, instead of reaching over, I put on my hood again.

I made a bet that Song Nan wouldn't, right? I threw myself in there and bet that he would come and save me.

Sure enough, he didn't abandon me. Soon, a pair of hands pulled me out.

I jumped into Song Nan's arms along with those hands. When I took off my hood, I might not have the courage to do so anymore.

"July? Do you really miss me that much?"

It was actually Lu Qinglang!

I no longer cared how disgusting the centipede was, so I took off the hood.

Lu Qinglang was so good at standing. In those two seconds, he hugged me tightly.

"If there's nothing else, we'll be leaving first." Song Nan's voice came from behind him. It was neither cold nor hot, and it sounded heartless.

I turned my head. Song Nan was standing in front of the centipede that had been caught, covered with holes. Beside him, stood the woman who had come to bid.

He was talking about us. Him and her.

I held onto Lu Qinglang's neck and subconsciously used some strength to force out a smile: "Mm, thank you."

With that, I buried my face in Lu Qinglang's shoulder. "Lu Qinglang, I'm scared of that. Let's go."

Lu Qinglang sighed as he ruffled my hair. "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

I held back my tears and said to him, "Humph! Where were you when I was taken? "

It seemed like this way, he would be able to vent some of his grievances.

Lu Qinglang hugged me even more tightly. "I'm sorry, I should have followed you around all the time. I shouldn't have left you alone."

"Un, it's good that you know it. If you do this again, I really won't forgive you!"

Lu Qinglang patted me on the back as if he was comforting a frightened child. "July, we're not afraid. Let's go home."

"Mn, let's go home …" When I finished speaking, I could no longer hold back my tears.

Lu Qinglang picked me up. My face was still buried in his shoulder. I was afraid to see the centipede, but I was even more afraid to see Song Nan.

When we got home, Lu Qinglang used the medicine that Big Sister Li Li left for him to wipe the makeup off my face first and then took off the necklace she was wearing.

"Go take a bath first, I'll cook your noodles." Lu Qinglang patted my head again before turning around and walking towards the kitchen.

I threw off my heels, grabbed my pajamas, and went into the bathroom.

Now I don't think about anything. Everything seems meaningless.
