Chapter 28: Lin Dao

  "Hmm..."

  Xiao Yan had just escaped from Xian Qi's "devil's palm" and was sent back home by Ye Chen, where she rolled onto the soft blanket and let out a deep sigh.

  Dropping her school bag and taking off her jacket, Xiaoyan didn't even have the appetite to eat dinner. She found a comfortable position on the bed and thought about it. Xianxue had asked her to come over during the day to prepare for tonight's party, but she had no idea what was going on in her mind. As soon as she thought of Xianxue's excited expression, Xiaoyan's mouth curved into a beautiful arc without realizing it. Even though she was worried about Yanxi causing trouble, thinking about Xianxue being so confident also made her feel more at ease.

  Xiao Yan unconsciously became excited and expectant, got up to take a bath, hastily cooked some porridge to fill her stomach, planning to go to bed early and have the energy to go out tomorrow.

  Until this moment, Xiaoyan's heart had a hint of fear, took out the sleeping pills, entangled in how much dosage to take, thought for a long time, and finally still poured out five white tablets, slowly swallowed.

  Praying that tonight can still be spent peacefully, Xiaoyan tossed and turned for a long time before closing her eyes.

  "Squeak squeak——"

  Another creaking sound of wood rubbing against each other, piercing and familiar.

  Xiao Yan chose to ignore it and continued to close her eyes.

  All she felt was a strong gust of wind blowing over, whipping her face so that it stung. Xiangyun opened her eyes involuntarily to see what was happening.

  As soon as I opened my eyes, in front of me was a long and wide street. There were no streetlights, but the soft moonlight shone in, along with the light from the surrounding houses, making it still possible to see the scenery clearly.

  Both sides were planted with unknown trees, dense and neat, two rows of dark green stretching far away, while a thin fog floated in the distance, unable to see what it was, as if this street, these two rows of trees, grew without end.

  Xiao Yan looked around for a long time, then took one step at a time and walked forward, walking for a very, very long time...

  Xiao Yan found that the two rows of trees, sometimes with gaps between them, were several luxurious and somewhat old European-style villas, which had bright lights inside but no sound.

  Xiao Yan couldn't help but think: 'Where is this?'

  With doubts in mind, footsteps continue to move forward.

  Suddenly, a faint sound came from behind, "Pata pata——"

  Xiao Yan stopped in her tracks, vigilantly scanning the surroundings, slowly turning around to look back, afraid of seeing that familiar white figure, but found no one there, as if she was the only living being, a suffocating feeling filled the air.

  "Rustle rustle——"

  The sound came from above again, Xiaoyan looked up at the sky, and saw a bird of unknown name flapping its wings across the moonlit night sky. As it disappeared from Xiaoyan's line of sight, the sound grew fainter and fainter until it vanished.

  It was just a bird, Xiaoyan thought to herself, secretly laughing at her own oversensitivity.

  She continued to walk forward aimlessly. Xiaoyan didn't know why she had to keep walking, but if she stopped where she was, she wouldn't have a glimmer of hope of leaving this street. Before long, Xiaoyan had already walked into the fog.

  Maybe the exit is just ahead, Xiaoyan thought so and didn't stop walking.

  After a long, long time, Xiaoyan still lingered in this fog, as if the deeper she walked, the thicker the fog became. Xiaoyan stopped and covered her knees with both hands, bending over to catch her breath, her long hair scattered across her forehead, massaging her sore legs.

  After resting for a while, Xiaoyan straightened up and continued walking along this street. She didn't believe that a street wouldn't have an exit.

  Xiao Yan walked on, and the fog seemed to disperse a bit. She was delighted in her heart, and unintentionally turned her head to take another look, only to see another villa.

  This villa is so familiar, so familiar.
