The two of them were so busy that they had to face each other.

Li Wenhe seemed to know nothing about what had just happened, and was still talking about the international situation that she couldn't understand.

Li Yin didn't know why her uncle liked to talk about such things with a girl, but she was indeed frightened by her uncle just now.

Li Wenhe noticed the pendant on Li Yin's neck, which was slightly flashing with strange light in the sunset, and asked curiously: "Xiao Li, what kind of gem is this? It looks so beautiful."

As he said, he stretched out his hand to Li Yin, ready to ask Li Yin to come over and take a look.

But Li Yin subconsciously moved to the side.

She also noticed that this action was inappropriate, so she explained: "My parents gave it to me. They said they brought it back from Antarctica..."

Li Yin was stunned halfway through her words.

My parents, have you been to Antarctica? Why do I say that?

Li Wenhe scratched his head, turned around and asked his sister who had just walked out of the kitchen: "Sister, have you been to Antarctica?"

"No, how can we have the opportunity to go to such a far place, what's wrong?"

"Xiao Li said that the gems on this necklace were brought back from Antarctica, so I asked."

"The child must have remembered it wrongly, how can we afford to go to Antarctica."

Li Yin's eyes were blank, and she didn't know why she said that, and she didn't even know why this pendant appeared on her neck.

Li Wenhe didn't ask any more questions, but comforted her: "Xiao Li, have you been under too much pressure from studying recently? If you feel uncomfortable, you can go to your uncle's place and sit down, and your uncle will tell you about our family's past."

What he called the past was actually an ancient legend that was unknown hundreds of years ago. His mother had always listened to it as a joke, but his uncle believed it firmly, and even occasionally immersed himself in those ancient stories, as if he could travel through time and space and witness the glory and decline of the family with his own eyes.

Li Yin just listened to these as stories.

She asked hesitantly: "Uncle, what happened to you just now?"

"Just now?" Li Wenhe showed a trace of confusion on his face: "What happened to me just now? I'm a little tired recently, and I may be easily distracted."

Distracted?

Li Yin's eyes were full of doubt. Is this distracted? Your expression just now scared me to death!

But she didn't continue to ask, always feeling that her uncle's state just now was very abnormal, but she couldn't accurately describe the uneasiness in words.

For some reason, she felt that she was suddenly a little tired, and wanted to go back to the warm and soft quilt, lie down and think about nothing, and have a good sleep.

After sending Li Wenhe away, Li Yin said hello to her parents, went back to her room and lay on the bed, tossing and turning, and her uncle's sudden frightened expression on the sofa and his incoherent words kept replaying in her mind.

It was really weird, and she felt a little cold on her back when she thought about it now.

He said, let me not believe them? Don't open the door for them?

To whom? My parents? Are you kidding?

And you said it was a nightmare?

What nightmare could be so beautiful?

Li Yin really had no idea. She just thought that her uncle might be under a lot of pressure and had some mental problems. She would talk to her parents tomorrow and take him to see a doctor.

Listening to the conversation of her parents in the living room and thinking about the date tomorrow, Li Yin's mouth curled up unconsciously.

Closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep.

She had a dream. In the dream, she turned into a powerful exorcist, holding her magic axe and constantly chasing the invading ghosts in the school.

Her power was so strong that even ghosts had to retreat. The inexplicable idea urged her to constantly hunt those ghosts that looked like black fog.

Deep in the dream, Li Yin's figure shuttled through the dim campus corridor, and every step was accompanied by a slight tremor in the air. Ghosts dissipated under her axe, turning into wisps of black smoke and dissipating in the endless darkness.

After swinging the axe for the last time, the school was already quiet, and the noisy sounds could no longer be heard.

Putting the axe aside, her hand slowly pressed against the heavy iron door.

It seemed like an insurmountable boundary, separating the two worlds.

It was white outside, and no scene could be seen clearly.

Li Yin exerted force with both hands, and the iron door slowly opened under her push. The white mist gradually poured into the empty campus, washing everything in it, as if preparing for the next visit.

Her eyes were dull, and she slowly stepped into the white world. The scene around her began to become blurred and distorted. Suddenly, her feet were empty and she fell.

Feelings filled her heart.

Li Yin suddenly woke up from her dream, her heart was beating like a drum, and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

"Huh... It seems like I had a nightmare again..."

She rubbed her temples and lay back down.

She put one arm on her eyes and tried to fall asleep again, but the aftermath of the dream made it difficult for her to calm down.

What did I dream just now?

I have no impression at all...

This is not the first time, Li Yin didn't take it seriously.

She picked up her phone and looked at it. It was already past six in the morning, and it was time to get up.

At this time, her mother's voice came from outside the door: "Xiao Li, are you up? Your friend is here to play with you."

Li Yin was stunned. It was only past six o'clock. Who would come at this time?

She responded and got up and changed her clothes quickly.

She was going to date a new friend today, and she wanted to dress nicely, so she looked in the closet and picked up a white dress to look at.

This was bought by her mother some time ago. It was really nice and made her look taller. But for some reason, she always felt that the skirt... was not suitable for her.

So she looked around and found a short-sleeved shirt with stars and a pair of shorts, and decided to wear them!

After changing, she looked in the mirror and walked out of the room with satisfaction, but her parents and friends didn't seem to have any special reactions.

In their opinion, Li Yin's outfit was no different from usual.

Li Yin also saw the person coming, it was Sun Tingting.

She didn't wear her favorite blue dress today, but a combination of long pants and short sleeves, and a hat on her head.

If it weren't for the familiar appearance and long hair, Li Yin would have thought it was the girl she saw in the supermarket yesterday.

"Good morning, Tingting. Have you eaten yet?"

Sun Tingting smiled, her voice as gentle as ever: "Well, I have already eaten. Xiao Li, do you have anything to do today? Let's go out for a walk. I heard that a very interesting handicraft store has just opened in the city center. There are many unique gadgets in it. You will definitely like it."

Looking at her expectant expression, Li Yin didn't know how to explain that she already had an appointment.

But with her personality, she finally said it directly.

"Tingting, actually I have an appointment with someone today. If you don't mind, how about we change it to the afternoon or another day?"

Sun Tingting seemed to have known the answer long ago. Her face did not change, but her eyes had a hint of expectation: "Who is it? Can I go with you?"

Go together?

For some reason, Li Yin's heart was somewhat resistant. She didn't know why she had such an idea. Tingting was her friend. Isn't it normal to introduce her to her new friends?

"Well, OK. Let's go. I'll introduce her to you on the way. She's so pretty!"

"Is she a student too? What's her name? From our school?"

"Ning Zhu, she doesn't seem to be from our school..."

The mother's voice came from behind: "Didn't Xiao Li eat at home?"

"Well, we can just eat on the way."

Li Yin and Sun Tingting walked out of the house side by side. Because it was Sunday, the pace of the community slowed down. There were no people rushing to work downstairs, only a few elderly people doing morning exercises and children playing.

On the way, Li Yin briefly described to Sun Tingting how she met Ning Zhu.

When talking about tripping the criminals and helping them recover the stolen property, Sun Tingting's eyes had something more, and she sighed softly: "It's really a coincidence, just like a storybook..."

Li Yin didn't hear clearly: "What?"

"Nothing. You are too risky, right? He is an adult, you dare to trip him, what if he gets hurt?"

"I don't know... I just felt that I should do this."

"Hehe, do you think you are the male protagonist of the comic, bravely subduing the criminals, and then starting a romantic encounter with the heroine?" Sun Tingting said teasing words, but there was no trace of teasing in her eyes, instead, she stared at Li Yin's reaction seriously.

Li Yin's face was a little red, and he said hesitantly: "Ahem, yes, it is a bit like that. But I didn't want to be the male protagonist, I just happened to meet her and helped her."

"I don't believe you!" Sun Tingting made a face at her, then hugged her shoulders and pretended to be weak, and said sadly: "Why do all my friends like girls? I feel very dangerous now."

Only she knows how much of the sadness in her tone is true.

The two took a car to the old city. It was not as prosperous as the city center, but it had a lot more fireworks.

Li Yin liked this atmosphere, which reminded her of the time when she played with her childhood friends.

Car

Stopping at the gate of the community, the two walked in side by side.

Li Yin thought Sun Tingting would be surprised that the handicraft shop was opened in the community, but she seemed to know it in advance, and her eyes were already looking in the direction of Ning's handicraft shop.

"Tingting, have you been here?"

Sun Tingting came back to her senses and shook her head: "No, it's my first time here, I just looked around."

Li Yin did not doubt it and also looked in the direction of the handicraft shop.

The store was already open, and a girl was lying on the counter taking a nap.

There was also a man in a white shirt and a beard on the chair next to him, drinking tea and reading a newspaper. The quiet scene made Li Yin's mouth unconsciously rise.

Sun Tingting looked at this scene expressionlessly, and suddenly asked: "Li Yin, if one day you find that this world is fake, and the people you love and the people who love you are all distorted monsters, what will you do?"
