Chapter 440 The direction of the heart

The light is so strong that Xia Qiu can only see the lower half of the face of the person standing on the terrace.

The smile on the corners of his mouth is strange. The closer he gets, the more he feels the difference between him and Ouyang Xiao Leng. In ten years, maybe he has also changed a lot. When it was really time to face him, she was timid and didn't know if he could accept himself now?

Her footsteps accelerated with her heartbeat and ran to the edge of the terrace. The man's arms had already opened to her. How could she not come to him immediately?

"Be careful!"

But someone who interfered with her appeared again. Zhang Ke didn't know when she had come to the terrace. He grabbed Xia Qiu's wrist tightly and stopped her from moving forward.

The blurred figures standing in the light in front of them suddenly turned into countless golden butterflies, and they flew into the air. Xia Qiu stretched out his empty hand and tried to grab it into the air, but failed to keep them. She only felt that her heart was tight, and tears came out of her eyes without warning.

Zhang Ke beside him was a little at a loss. He didn't know if it was because of his sudden appearance that Xia Qiu was frightened. He hurriedly asked her, "Do you care?! Just now, I saw you rush to the edge of the terrace, and I felt very dangerous! Did you see anything?! Why don't I take you home?!!"

Xia Qiu couldn't say a word, only choking and nodding.

Zhang Ke came by car. He hurriedly took all the things of Xia Qiu and Liu Lingmei, and called a surrogate driver to send them back first, and then went back to X Bar to serve the rest of the people. After everyone dispersed, I paid the bill and went home.

After taking a shower, Xia Qiu and Liu Lingmei lay on their backs together**. No matter how Liu Lingmei asked about what she had experienced in the bar, she did not want to mention it again. It's not suitable because I'm afraid of hearing her persuade me to give up. I'm just afraid that she will worry about her.

"Did Du He send you a message today?" Liu Lingmei decided to break the silence.

"Well, he's worried about you." Xia Qiu looked at the ceiling reflected by the faint light coming in from the curtain and said.

"Real? But when I was in Yongchuan, he sometimes didn't even have time to send me a text message all day. Although Liu Lingmei said this, her heart was still sweet.

"Call him tomorrow..." Xia Qiu took the opportunity to persuade her.

"Don't just talk about me. What's going on with you and Zhang Ke?! Is there any possibility of development?!! To be honest, I think he is very good!" Liu Lingmei's words have been in her stomach for all night.

"We are good friends, don't guess randomly! He is very popular in our company, and there are a bunch of little girls behind his buttocks!" Xia Qiu quickly explained.

"It depends on whose ass he is behind!" Liu Lingmei stretched out a hand and gently poked Xia Qiu's waist with her fingers.

"Hahaha..." Xia Qiu couldn't help laughing, as if her strength had been removed in an instant. Together with her back, she immediately turned her body and fought back.

Tired of laughing, the two girls fell asleep.

That night, Xia Qiu had a dream. The dream was a continuation of what happened on the terrace of X Bar. She walked through the group of golden butterflies and ran to the tall figure on the edge of the terrace. This time, Zhang Ke did not appear, and no one pulled her.

But she still couldn't see the man's eyes clearly, so she took his hand and asked, "Who are you?"

She saw him constantly changing his mouth shape and speculated that he might be saying something to her, but she couldn't hear another word.

"Where am I going to see you again?" Xia Qiu intuitively felt that she was about to wake up from her dream, so she seized all the time to ask.

This time she read his lips, and what he said should be the word "Yongchuan".

Waking up from the dream, Xia Qiu has been thinking about the dream over and over again. She knew that she could not take a trip just by the clues in her dream, but her body had begun to take action. She checked the ticket back to Yongchuan on the ticket booking software on her mobile phone and bought the ticket without hesitation.

The genius was slightly bright, and she bounced up from **. Xiaohei heard her getting up, climbed out of her own nest in the living room, and ran excitedly in the living room, as if it knew what she was going to do.

"Xiao Hei, I want to go back to Yongchuan!" Xia Qiu lowered her head and stroked the little black head that had been wagging her tail and said.

From Xiaohei's eyes, she seemed to see the shadow of the black meteorite. Although it was just a flash, she couldn't help thinking that it might be her own illusion.

She left a note for her father and Liu Lingmei at the dining table, and only took simple personal belongings and went out. After getting into the taxi, she sent a text message to Zhang Ke. First, she thanked him for taking care of him the first night, and also wanted to ask him for leave. After sending the message, she realized that it was just past six o'clock in the morning. I guess Zhang Ke must still be in a dream.

I didn't expect to receive his reply quickly:

"It's right to take care of girls. Are you too polite? I'll help you fill out the leave note on Monday. Don't worry!"

Xia Qiu touched the backpack, and the magical plum blossom hairpin of the plum blade lay quietly in it. Over the years, her fingertips have touched its coldness more than once. She always carries it with her, but she can no longer turn it into the form of a long knife.

According to Dong Muya, this should be because she is the signator of the demon king fox Ouyang Xiao Leng. The source of her power is Ouyang Xiao Leng, but because of the break between the world and the demon world, she can no longer get strength from him. But Xia Qiu knew that there was another reason that Dong Muya had never said, that is, Ouyang Xiao Leng may no longer be in the world.

I don't know why, the feeling of touching the plum blade again today is different from every time in the years after being separated from Ouyang Xiao Leng. She seemed to have found the anxiety when she had just got this plum hairpin. She began to try to summon the plum blade in her heart, although she was not sure whether she could get her response.

At about 6:40, she finally got on the train back to Yongchuan, only five minutes away from departure. At that time, it was too hasty to book tickets, and I only cared about choosing the earliest class. The train finally slowly left the platform, and the mobile phone in the backpack rang at the same time.

The first person to call was her father Xia Xuesong. Xia Xuesong did not express any dissatisfaction with Xia Qiu's rare impulse and waywardness. He just asked her if she had boarded the train. Knowing that the car had started, he was relieved and hung up the phone after a few more words.

She wanted to take a nap on the train. After all, she drank a lot of wine the first night, and her head was spinning until she woke up in the morning. But when she thought that she was getting closer and closer to Yongchuan, there was an inexplicable excitement, which made her fill her eyes.

This throbbing is very similar to my mood when I was a child. Every time I was forced to leave Yongchuan on vacation and come to Beijing to find my father, I took a bus back to Yongchuan. Thinking that my grandpa and grandma will wait for her at the station, I can run freely in the familiar Yongchuan forest and breathe the purest air there. But now, what she is looking forward to is the foreshadowing of the dream.

Xia Qiu felt that a figure was coming from the aisle. From the afterglow, his outline was very similar to the man standing on the terrace. But when she turned her face, the sun shone into her eyes through the window. With just a blink of an eye, the figure in the aisle disappeared.

Is it an illusion again? She sighed softly.

The frequent hallucinations these days are indeed doubtful. At the beginning of the period, she thought it was because of something wrong with her spirit, but Du He's text message yesterday seemed to be some kind of hint. The reaction they detected from the demon world is becoming more and more intense, and will Ouyang Xiao Leng have found a way to come back?

She suddenly remembered that there was a person who was like herself and had an inseparable connection with the demon world, so she quickly dialed the phone number of that person, who was Dong Muya.

It was a young female voice who answered the phone. Xia Qiu suddenly heard that it was Ouyang Zi, the daughter of Dong Muya and Ouyang Hongye.

"Zi Zi, I'm Xia Qiu."

"Oh, Sister Xia Qiu!" Ouyang Zi's voice suddenly changed from plain to surprise.

"I have something to do with your mother!"

"Okay, wait!" Ouyang Zi shouted Dong Muya's voice from the other end of the phone, "Mom! Sister Xia Qiu is looking for you!"

"Mr. Dong!" Xia Qiu is still used to calling Dong Muya a teacher.

"Xiaqiu, what's wrong?" Dong Muya was preparing breakfast for Ouyang Zi and Min Entong. She felt a little surprised that Xia Qiu called so early in the morning.

"I'm... on the train back to Yongchuan!" Xia Qiu didn't know where to start talking about the reason why she suddenly returned to Yongchuan.

"Why is it so sudden? Didn't you just come back before..." Dong Muya paused at the other end of the phone and asked, "Did you see anything?"

"Uh-huh!" Xia Qiu felt as if she was connected with Dong Muya all of a sudden. Even if she didn't need to make it completely clear, she could understand each other's meaning. "Although it's always not clear and I can't talk to him, I'm very sure that that person is right."

"I've seen red leaves more than once recently. If he appeared from time to time in the past few years, it was just an illusion that he missed him too much, but what I've seen in recent days is different from the previous one. I'm sure it's him."

Dong Muya has seen Ouyang Hongye for several days in a row. The most recent time was after she fell asleep reading a book on the sofa the afternoon before. As soon as she woke up, she saw him. Although it was not very clear, he sat on the sofa next to her and looked at her quietly, as if he had been sitting for a long time, but when she was fully awake, he disappeared again.

Knowing that Xia Qiu also saw Ouyang Xiao Leng, she was even more sure that the reason why she saw Ouyang Hongye was not because she missed her too much, but because he really appeared. But why can't he talk to her? And although it feels real, his appearance is vague.

The only conclusion is that the path connecting the demon world and the world is still unstable at this moment.
