Chapter 5 An Eye for an Eye and a Tooth for a Tooth (Five)

  An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth (5)

  "Little Warmth——"

  Tang Tang finally let out a heart-wrenching cry, and suddenly opened his eyes to find himself lying on a soft and warm big bed.

  It was just a dream!

  Finally relieved and let out a big sigh of relief.

  Xiao Nuan, you mustn't have anything happen to you!

  She pressed her forehead with her hand, feeling a bit dizzy, having had a sleepless night, and her thoughts were still lingering in the dream.

  In her dream, she saw Gu Xiannian and Tong Hua beating Chen Xiaonuan until she was covered in blood, she wanted to save her but it was as if she had been cast with a petrification spell, unable to move at all. Even now, her heart still racing wildly.

  Everything in the dream was so real that Sugar broke out in a cold sweat, soaking all her close-fitting clothes and making them uncomfortable to wear.

  After the initial confusion, Tang Sugar calmed down, weakly lifted her hand to wipe away the sweat on her forehead, took in her surroundings, and her bright eyes grew wider and wider with an expression of disbelief. She suddenly sat up from bed, looking around at the familiar room with a mixture of shock and uncertainty.

  This is Mom's boudoir in Grandma's house.

  Strange, how did I end up at grandma's house?

  What made her even more confused was that she didn't sleep in her grandmother's room, but slept in her mother's room, which was simply unthinkable!

  Ever since Mom disappeared, Grandma wouldn't let anyone into Mom's room, afraid of damaging the things inside. Because Grandma firmly believed that Tangtang's mom had just forgotten her way home and would return one day. Tangtang was no exception; without Grandma's permission, she couldn't set foot in Mom's room. Sometimes when she missed her mom, she could only stand at the door and take a look. So why did Grandma let her sleep here this time?

  It definitely wasn't Grandma who put her in this room, then who was it?

  Tang sugar moved her head to scan the room. The whole room was only lit by a bedside lamp, with soft light. Outside the window, it was pitch black, and it was night.

  Tangtang's gaze fell on the quilt covering her body, the color of which was really good, it was like the dawn, the east spreading out a kind of pale blue close to white, shallow and gentle.

  But this isn't Mom's favorite color, who has moved into Grandma's sacred place in her heart? Tangtang's heart is filled with curiosity.

  The quilt emitted the owner's scent, and Tiantian inadvertently inhaled it into her nose, reaching deep into her heart. There was a kind of intoxicating dizziness that made people dizzy, and her face turned slightly red.

  Is the temporary master of this room a man?

  Tang sugar was topped with a big question mark, ready to get up and find her grandmother, but suddenly froze, with doubts and suspicions in her heart.

  She remembered that she was clearly beaten by Gu Xian and Tong Hua, the dog man and woman, with bruises all over her body. If it weren't for Xiao Nuan, her life would be in danger. But why can't she feel any pain now?

  Everything is too weird!

  After a long time, she finally lifted her slightly trembling hand to lift up her clothes, and indeed there was no wound!

  Tang sugar's breathing became rapid, she couldn't believe it at all, and stubbornly rolled up her sleeves, her arms were snow-white and tender, without a single trace of injury.

  Her heart inexplicably became flustered, and she hastily checked herself all over several times, but couldn't see any wounds anywhere!

  Doubts in my heart are rapidly growing thicker.

  What's going on here? Was I dreaming that I was beaten up by Gu Xian and Tong Hua, that pair of dog-like men?

  But the memories of pain left in the brain are so clear and real, they can't be just a dream!

  Thinking of all sorts of suspicious things, Tang Sugar felt that he was about to be driven crazy by one mysterious event after another.

  Just as I was in a state of utter bewilderment, I suddenly heard a faint noise coming from outside the window, which sounded exceptionally clear in the quiet surroundings.

  Tang Sugar was so shocked that he almost jumped out of bed - there's a thief!

  Her heart suddenly became flustered, with only her grandmother here, what to do!

  She didn't dare to hesitate, nor did she have the time to do so. She quickly turned off the bedside lamp, got out of bed stealthily, and felt her way through the darkness to put on her slippers. On tiptoes, she made her way to the living room, carefully turning the door handle with a faint click. The door creaked open, and Tang Sugar held her breath, waiting for any sign of movement. When none came, she slowly opened the door wider, and suddenly, the bright moonlight poured in like a tide, causing Tang Sugar to take two steps back in surprise. Only when she was certain it was safe did she step out into the night.

  Tang Sugar raised her eyes to look at the courtyard, probably snowing in the middle of the night when she was fast asleep. The whole world was covered with a layer of mushroom-colored snow, and the small and elegant courtyard was quiet and still, without any signs of abnormality. Was it Xiao Heizi who made that noise just now?

  She stood in the moonlight as calm as water, her eyes wide open searching for a glimpse of Xiao Hei.

  There is a captivating fragrance of flowers on this cold night.

  Does the flower smell good?

  Sugar was stunned, sniffing the faint scent of jasmine in the crisp air, which was not the scent of wax plum, but a light and pure one, like a girl's feelings. It was... the fragrance of jasmine!

  But in the cold winter month, where does the fragrance of jasmine come from?

  Things seem to be getting more and more confusing.

  Sugar sugar only wore close-fitting clothes standing in the icy snow, but didn't feel cold, just slightly cool, as if it was a deep autumn night, a refreshing coolness that made people sober.

  She lifted her head, and the clear night sky had a round moon like a jade plate. Probably because it was very late at night, the worldly noise had long since receded like the ebbing tide, all things were quiet, and in the vast world, you could hear the sound of snow falling from the trees. Under that osmanthus tree, among the flowers and grasses, she saw him.
