Chapter 11 Chapter 10 Sandalwood

Sandalwood Palace is located in the eastern suburbs of S City, a well-known wealthy area. Huo's villa covers an area of ​​170 mu, far away from other surrounding residences. There are artificial lakes and golf courses inside. The Mediterranean-style villa designed by the world's top architects looks beautiful in a sea of ​​green However, there are very few people who can appreciate all this, because the Huo family bought the entire block, and all cars were stopped 4,000 meters away from this building, and they couldn't get closer. The moment the call was cut off, Huo Mingyang threw out his cell phone and sat down on the sofa, his face pale as if exhausted, his fingers trembling—the bedroom was large and empty, and his shadow was reflected on the transparent walls, lonely and sharp, eyes His eyes were red, and he stared fixedly at his own eyes reflected on the wall, as if he was staring at an unknown beast in a different time and space—is this him?This mask that has been shattered and reshaped thousands of times is the body where the cesium soul resides, something that parents want to let it exist at any cost?

How ridiculous... what's the point of his life?It's nothing more than a walking dead! "Master," the maid greeted respectfully from outside the door, "You rang the bell just now, what's your order?" "It's nothing." He supported his forehead and murmured weakly. "A young lady will visit later. You don't need to make any inquiries, just let her come here to find me, understand?" "Yes, I see." The maid retreated silently along the long corridor, but she was a little puzzled—didn't she already bring a lady home tonight, why would another one come later?You must know that the young master was a Puritan-like person before, and he never showed any enthusiasm for the opposite sex. The people below whispered that he might not like women.But tonight, why did two come here at once?

Huo Mingyang drank a martini and sank into the soft couch. The faint blue water waves above his head flickered against his side cheeks.Except for the ticking of the clock, there is no sound in my ears, just like the feeling when diving more than 100 meters deep into the bottom of the sea—the whole world is quiet, and only he is quietly suspended in the sea, without gravity and without wind He Guang, just tilted his head and listened to his own heartbeat. He gradually calmed down in such an atmosphere, and picked up Xia Weilan's phone again. It was a parallel NOKIA flip phone that cost less than 2,000 yuan. It looked like it had been used for a long time. There were obvious scratches on the shell, and a few keys had been worn and discolored. Obviously, the owner used to use it to send a lot of money. SMS.Opening the cover of the phone, the wallpaper on the screen was the "baby" who had just been beaten up by her - that young man with dazzling blond hair, peach blossoms and frivolous eyes, winking at him.

The corner of his mouth could not help but sneer: After all, she is still a little girl, and she would be hooked up by such a scumbag.But, having said that, if a girl comes to S City alone to meet male netizens, does she know how dangerous it is?How did her parents discipline her? He thought coldly, and glanced at Xia Weilan who was sleeping unconsciously.The girl was lying on her stomach on the custom-made Italian Versace Home round luxury big bed, hugging a pillow, buried face down on the soft bed, motionless. Sleeping on your stomach like this, you are not afraid of the big hanging ring on your chest hitting yourself?

Huo Mingyang smiled wryly, but his expression was a little tired.He got up from the sofa, walked into the huge walk-in closet, and looked at himself in the floor-to-ceiling mirror.The handsome and tall young man in the mirror was also looking at him, his face was pale and tired, a little uneasy, and there was an irrepressible light in his eyes. He raised his hand and straightened his collar, as nervous as if he was going to meet his lover. It had been ten years, and he was finally able to see her again—the shadow that existed in the distant memory, which was almost blurred, the door of life and death that he could never return to, and—his mother.

When he left the bedroom, the person on the bed moved slightly.He quietly opened his eyes, and cautiously peeked out from under the pillow, wanting to confirm whether there were other bodyguards in the room and whether he could escape.However, as soon as she opened her eyes, the scene that caught her eyes made her almost scream out of shock. Where is this?Seabed, or dreamland? This room is very spacious, but without a chandelier, the whole room is glowing with a faint blue light, like a glass box.Lying on the bed, she could see the water rippling on the transparent dome of the bedroom, and a large school of deep-sea fish swimming swayingly——when she opened her eyes and raised her head secretly, a ten-meter-long fish was coming from her. Swimming overhead, like white lightning.

A huge shadow fell on her face, it was the tail of the shark. Xia Weilan stared at all this dumbfounded, thinking that she had entered an illusion, she couldn't help but get out of bed, and stretched out her hand towards the blue wall—what she touched with her fingertips was the cold double-layer insulating glass, It is as thick as five centimeters, but it is as clear and transparent as nothing. Oh my god... Is this bedroom actually built underwater? She couldn't imagine how big the tank would be to accommodate a whale shark and many other fish.Regardless of other things, even the hundreds of tons of seawater they need to live requires a complete hydraulic system to be introduced into this house to form a man-made underwater environment. Is this young master of the Huo family a lunatic?Make your bedroom look like the underwater world, won't you have nightmares at night?

She stared in amazement at the four walls and the deep sea scene above her head, and she woke up suddenly when she heard rustling sounds from the cloakroom. Oops!He... is he coming out?Xia Weilan looked at the closed bedroom door in bewilderment, her mind was spinning rapidly, judging whether it was more feasible to rush out the door at this moment, or hide back and continue pretending to sleep.However, before she could think about it, she heard a knock on the door outside the bedroom. Oops!Someone wants to come in from the outside? ! She didn't want to think about it anymore, and quickly flashed back, lay down on the bed, grabbed the pillow and pressed it against her face.

At the same time she was lying back, as if she heard a knock on the door, the people in the cloakroom quickly turned around and came out, with an uncontrollable excited expression on their faces and sparkling eyes. "You finally..." Huo Mingyang stepped out quickly, opened the door, and spoke to the woman who came in.However, halfway through the conversation, he suddenly stopped. "It's you?" His tone turned sharply and became cold. Standing outside the bedroom door is a beautiful woman in a red suspender evening gown, with a delicate face and pointed hair, a string of round Tahitian pearls on her snow-white and soft neck like a swan, her chestnut curly hair hangs down To the shoulder, fastened with a diamond brooch, it looks dignified and reserved.

"Qianhui?" Huo Mingyang looked at the unexpected visitor, "What are you doing here?" Just now I ordered people not to block the female guest who came tonight, and imagined that the apostle of "White Moon" did not show up, but instead let this irresistible woman in. "I seem to have left my lipstick here last time," she walked in calmly, looked around, and suddenly saw the girl sleeping on Huo Mingyang's bed, her face changed slightly, and she smiled, "Who is she? You new taste?" "Leave immediately!" He lowered his face. Qian Hui didn't listen, and just looked at the man in the bedroom again, and found that although he had just bathed, he hadn't put on his nightgown, and was still dressed in neat clothes, with a fresh cologne scent on his body.Her eyes could not help revealing a kind of sharpness, thoughtful.

"Who is she?" Qian Hui walked over with one step, and removed the pillow that was pressing on Xia Weilan's face - at that moment, the girl who was lying down and pretending to sleep screamed and sat up all of a sudden.Xia Weilan originally wanted to keep eavesdropping, but she didn't know what this woman was trying to do aggressively. She was afraid that she would hit her, so she immediately got up. "So she was pretending to be sleeping." Qian Hui sneered, looking her up and down, "Is she fine? Better than me? Why does she look like an underdeveloped middle school student?" "Get out of here immediately," Huo Mingyang frowned impatiently, "otherwise..." "Otherwise what?" Qianhui interrupted him, "Have someone kick me out?" "Don't think I won't, all these years I'm already polite enough to you, don't push yourself too far." He looked at the clock, his tone became more and more impatient, and he pointed to the door, "Let's go now!" She looked at him, her eyes were red, as if she was about to shed tears. She was originally a proud and reserved daughter of a wealthy family. She was well-clothed and well-fed since she was a child. If she hadn't met him, how could she have fallen into such a situation in a low voice?She gritted her teeth and said in a low voice: "Huo Mingyang, don't be too conscientious! If I hadn't concealed the disappearance of Mai Meitong for you, would you still be here to pick up girls now?" Huo Mingyang said bluntly: "I didn't ask you to do that. And even if you hand over the photos taken by Li Ruoji's mobile phone to the police, I don't care - she accidentally took pictures of me appearing there that night. How? Mai Meitong is just a small person, even if I was involved, my father would naturally take care of me." He shrugged his shoulders, "Didn't the surveillance video at that street corner be erased the next day? " "..." She couldn't speak, just looked at him. "Besides, your family's sphere of influence is only in Japan and Ryukyu." Huo Mingyang seemed to be determined to solve this woman's matter tonight, and continued coldly, "In S City, I hope you understand who it is here Site." She looked at him fixedly, and sneered: "Is this a threat?" "No, I know that you are really doing it for my own good, so I endured it for a long time." Huo Mingyang sighed, "Otherwise, I just need to tell my father that you hold the evidence of my involvement in the Mai Meitong case, and have been Threatening me with this, do you still have a chance to stand here and talk to me?" "Forbearance? Are you putting up with me?!" With red eyes, she suddenly pushed him against the wall, and shouted out of control, "You heartless guy, why are you treating me like this? Me? Don't you know, I... I..." Speaking of this, she suddenly burst into tears, choked up and unable to speak. Xia Weilan stared blankly at the confrontation between the two of them, and felt that this pair of golden boy and jade girl really matched, the man was handsome, the woman was pretty, the clothes were gorgeous, and the temperament was outstanding, just like the male and female protagonists in an idol drama. She had to hide in the corner of the bed, just like a Cinderella who was caught and raped in the bed. However, things changed rapidly. As soon as she thought of this, she saw Qian Hui, who suddenly raised her arms and hugged Huo Mingyang's neck, leaned over, and kissed the indifferent person leaning against the wall fiercely. "It's not suitable for children." She cursed in her heart, and quickly turned her head red.What does this mean?She is as pure as a little white rabbit, but she is just a passer-by. She was dragged here for no reason today and treated as a mistress, not to mention, she was forced to watch this kind of super white and sensational drama - the young couple beat each other and scolded each other. Love, fight at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed, when she is what?Condiments? However, soon, there was a blunt "pop" in my ear. Xia Weilan turned her head in surprise, just in time to see Qian Hui staggering, being pushed away hard without mercy, and hitting her head directly against the corner of the wall.She was so startled that she almost jumped up, is she still a man?He actually did it to his girlfriend!She wanted to rush over, but just as her toes touched the floor, she felt a "thump" in her heart, and immediately changed her mind. Qian Hui gritted her teeth and stared at the person in front of her, the light in her eyes froze little by little, looking a little scary.And Huo Mingyang also looked at her coldly, wiping the corner of his bitten lips, the impatience in his eyes had reached the extreme. "You will regret it." She said every word, with a look of determination in her eyes, "Reporter." "I've already regretted it. I should have told you to get out as soon as you came in." He replied coldly, rang the bell, and summoned the servant, "See off!" However, the line was connected, but there was no answer from that end.His face darkened slightly: Strange... The Huo family's family rules have always been strict. There are a total of 15 servants in this house, serving in 24-hour shifts. How could no one answer?Could it be... He was startled suddenly, turned around, only to find that Xia Weilan on the bed had disappeared. He couldn't care about Qian Hui anymore, and rushed out along the corridor. While Huo Mingyang was busy dealing with his girlfriend, Xia Weilan quickly tiptoed down to the ground, not even caring about picking up her mobile phone, and ran out in three steps at a time, running along the corridor, running... …Finally, after running through about ten rooms, I saw a door at the end. That's the exit, right? Panting, she ran over and pushed it away, only to find that it was just a staircase going up.stairs?Without thinking about it, she went straight up the stairs and boarded the upper floor.However, when she climbed up, she was suddenly dumbfounded - the upstairs was not outdoor at all, but an indoor swimming pool! The super large indoor swimming pool seems to exist only in a dream. There was no one around the swimming pool, and it was glowing with faint blue waves.At first glance, it is actually larger than a standard football field.At the end of the swimming pool is a whole floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall, facing the courtyard, revealing the silhouettes of trees and sparse starlight, but there is no door leading to the outside. Damn it... After finally being selected, did you get lost in this maze-like house? She stomped her feet anxiously, wanting to turn around.But I heard footsteps chasing from that end—there was no way out.She could only retreat into the room, hiding in the shadow behind the door.But as soon as she turned her head, she suddenly saw a line of water running across the open water, as if something was moving quietly underneath. someone?In this swimming pool... Is there anyone else? Taking a closer look, she blurted out "Ah" in fright—it wasn't a human, but a huge ten-meter-long whale shark that she saw in the bedroom just now, swimming past leisurely! There are countless fishes that have never been seen swimming in the bottom of the water, there are whale sharks that are close to ten meters, and there are groups of small silvery white fish that can glow. It is like an extremely dazzling deep-sea world.This... what's going on here?She opened her mouth wide in astonishment, and stepped back step by step. However, one suddenly stretched out from the darkness and grabbed her shoulder—"What a girl who never stops." Huo Mingyang's voice was indifferent and calm, Like the hand he was holding on to his shoulder. "Let me go!" She jumped up screaming as if she was being burned, trying to shake off that hand, "Let me go...what the hell are you trying to do? Ahhh——" "Scream again, and I'll throw you down to feed the sharks." Huo Mingyang stopped her screaming coldly with one sentence, suddenly turned his head, as if carefully listening to the sound in the air, and whispered, "Come on." Already!" What's coming?At the same moment, Xia Weilan saw the outside of the floor-to-ceiling glass window suddenly light up.It was a very strange light, bright but not dazzling, as if the moon had descended from the sky and landed outside the window. On the other side of the pool, two silhouettes were reflected outside the large floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall, standing vaguely under the shade of a tree—a man and a woman, standing side by side, as if lined in the moonlight, illusory, with a dusty look beautiful.This... what's going on here? Huo Mingyang clasped her tightly, looking at the light flashing outside the window, his breathing suddenly became short of breath, he took a step forward involuntarily, his eyes changed quietly. The figure in the light did not move, and a familiar voice said, "Let her go." "Ah?!" She immediately recognized who it was, and couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise—this voice... this voice was the only person she knew in S City, the landlord Shui Youyan! She remembered that when she just woke up from a coma, she vaguely heard Huo Mingyang calling someone.Viciously threatened the other party to come and bring her back.At that time, she hadn't figured out who he was talking to, but when she heard this voice, she suddenly realized that it was the landlord who had only met once. In order to save herself, she really came here . However, the hand holding her shoulder did not let go. Huo Mingyang stared blankly at the silhouette outside the window, his eyes gradually turned fiery red, and asked hoarsely, "Is it really you?" He pushed Xia Weilan took a step forward, fixed her eyes on her, "Let me see you." "Hey! Hey!" Two steps away from the pool, she yelled in fright, "Don't push! You're going to fall!" Huo Mingyang didn't seem to hear it, and kept looking straight ahead, without stopping at all.She screamed and was pushed into the water by him, she closed her eyes and waited for the catastrophe.But a miracle happened, he held her in one hand, stepped into the pool step by step, and actually walked over the water. At that moment, Xia Weilan felt that her thoughts were going to be messed up - was she dreaming?This must be a dream!In this bizarre dream, how can I wake up?Is it like "Inception", falling or committing suicide?But... She groped around with her hands, and except for the jade ring on her chest, she couldn't find any tools that could be used to commit suicide. "Stop." Another voice said calmly. When Huo Mingyang led her to the center of the pool, suddenly, the water under his feet changed strangely - "Ah!" Xia Weilan exclaimed again, unable to believe her eyes. The water at the bottom of the feet is surging upwards, crawling into the void as if alive!In just an instant, a transparent wall of water appeared in front of them, blocking their way.She stared at all of this in a daze—in that wall of water, there were still some fish swimming, fresh and free. This dream is too exciting... Is there any more NB? Another voice came from within the light, repeating again: "Let her go and give her to us." It was the voice of a strange man, speaking slowly and clearly, speaking Chinese with a strange accent.However, his voice was extremely pleasant, and there was even a feeling of being slightly drunk after drinking. "It's you?!" As if he recognized whose voice it was, Huo Mingyang became nervous, "You're here too?" He quickened his steps, trying to pass through the water wall. "Stop!" The voice withdrew, and murderous intent suddenly appeared, "One last warning!" As if they were disturbed by something, the fishes at the bottom of the water suddenly stirred up and scattered in all directions as if fleeing for their lives.There was no wind and waves in the swimming pool, and the water waves suddenly stood up from all sides out of thin air, rushing towards the two of them, as if an invisible wall of water was forcing them from all directions, trying to trap them in this cage!Huo Mingyang suddenly made a strange gesture and whispered: "Get up!" At the same time, Xia Weilan felt her feet bump, the water surface split, and she flew up. Before she could scream, she felt like she was on a rocket It rose the same way, and it rose to a height of ten meters in an instant, almost hitting the roof of the membrane structure.Lowering her head, she realized that what she was stepping on was actually the whale shark—for a moment, the huge fish jumped out of the water as if it had heard an order, and lifted the two of them into the air in one fell swoop! "Ah—" She looked at the huge white teeth of the Whale Shark on the foot, and exclaimed.When the whale shark broke through the water and reached the apex, Huo Mingyang grabbed her with his left hand and made a leap, broke through the water wall, then turned around and landed on the opposite side of the pool.He fell lightly and steadily, like a cheetah. "Oops!" She felt dizzy during a series of jumps, and exclaimed involuntarily, while rolling, the pendant around her neck hit her eye sockets heavily, almost making her eyes blind.However, Huo Mingyang ignored it. After landing on the ground, he quickly retracted his right hand. The metal in his sleeve flashed coldly, and there was a subtle sound of parts colliding.Xia Weilan suddenly felt a violent shock coming from her body - the huge recoil caused the two of them to stagger back a step at the same time. "Bang!" At the same moment, the huge floor-to-ceiling glass by the pool suddenly disappeared. The silver bullet slid across, hitting the prestressed center of the whole piece of glass with great accuracy. The 12-meter-high hollow glass curtain wall was shattered inch by inch, and countless glass shards fell head-on, refracting bright and sharp light in the light, like a grand meteor shower, falling around the head. Xia Weilan let out a cry of surprise and fear.However, all the meteors suddenly exploded out of thin air when they were only one meter away from them, turning into powder, as if they were surrounded by an invisible hood.At that moment, she found that Huo Mingyang's pupils beside her had turned a strange fiery red, like flowing underground lava. She was almost stunned—was it a dream?This must be a dream, right?How can there be such a thing? As if to verify her idea, after the glass was completely shattered, what appeared in front of her eyes was indeed not the outer courtyard—as if by magic, those trees, pools, flower stands, and corridors all disappeared in an instant.Outside this room is actually a boundless white world, filled with soft light, like an empty stage under a bright laser mercury lamp, in the center of the stage, two people stand side by side. "Ah!" She saw the woman standing on the right at a glance, and couldn't help being extremely pleasantly surprised.However, she only yelled a word, but stopped again, and she shivered suddenly——at this moment, Shui Youyan was standing in the center of the light, wearing a white robe, her curly long hair draped over her shoulders, half His face was covered by the shadow of his forehead. However, her feet left the ground and quietly floated in mid-air. A faint transparent film stretched out from her hanging arms, like the fins of a fish. There was a faint purple current condensed at the tips of her ten fingers. How is this going?She...is she also a ghost?Xia Weilan was too surprised to speak. Huo Mingyang broke through the curtain wall and jumped out of the room with one stride.At that moment, he faintly felt a strange discomfort in his chest, a feeling of numbness traveling up his spine.He swayed slightly, then restrained himself, and looked up at the people in the void. "That's not bad... You are the first human being who can break through the barrier and come directly in front of us, or a half-human?" The man on the left has long blue hair and a white robe, handsome and gentle , like a piece of quiet jade, also floating in the air. His face was also covered by the drooping forehead hair, making it impossible to see clearly.His voice was nice, but his tone was indifferent and alienated, with an indescribable oppressive force, as if he was born to be a manipulator above all living beings, but at the same time, it made people feel strangely peaceful and joyful.Just listening to this voice makes one imagine that the person speaking there is a man who is as immaculate as a dream... just like the peerless handsome man in the comics. At such a time, Xia Weilan actually lost her mind a little bit, while hanging on the water tremblingly by Huo Mingyang's arm, while dreaming wildly in her heart. Huo Mingyang grabbed her and walked out through the collapsed and shattered glass wall. Looking at Shui Youyan floating in the light, his voice trembled uncontrollably, "That time, was it you? Why didn't you let me see you? " The corner of the woman's lips moved, and she seemed to sigh silently. "Why do you have to see me?" She said softly, her tone was soft and serene, as if it came from the sky, "You have done this more than once over the years, almost at any cost. What good is it for you? " "Benefits?" He sneered slightly, "Is there any 'benefits' for a living dead?" "Your life is envied by the whole world, and you paid a huge price for it." She replied flatly, "Don't belittle yourself, you should know that life is not easy." "But it's not my life, nor my world. It doesn't make any sense for me to live like this." He replied, stepping into the light stage, looking at the woman floating in the air—her skirt and long hair The hair danced slightly in the air, like waves rippling.However, looking at the past from bottom to top against the light like this, he still couldn't see that Rong Po clearly.That face... Does it look like a mother?So familiar, so far away, yet as intimate as if imprinted in my heart. "Then, what do you want?" She frowned slightly. "Take me back to that door," he said word by word, "let me reunite with my mother." You Yan was slightly startled, and couldn't help turning her head to look at her white-robed companion beside her. During the conversation between the two, Ya didn't speak, but just observed silently. He first looked at Huo Mingyang, and then his eyes fell on him. on the girl next to her. The girl seemed to be stunned by fright, unable to speak, just staring at them floating in the air, her black eyes unblinking.The pendant on her chest fell out during the tumbling, reflecting the gentle brilliance of jade. It was a ring with a scarlet crest printed at four o'clock in the lower right corner of the ring. At that moment, Ya's complexion suddenly changed, as if he had thought of something, he turned his head slightly imperceptibly, reflected the profile of his face in the soft white light, and smiled silently at the dazed girl. Xia Weilan obviously saw his face, and the expression on his face became extremely weird in an instant. "I can't take you back to that door." You Yan was answering the questioner, "We promised your mother to save your life, and we promised your father to pardon your whole family when the end comes, but we didn't Promised to take you to the 'White Moon'" "You guys can do it!" Huo Mingyang's tone changed, "Why can't you take me there?!" Yan Gang was about to say something, but he heard a voice calling: "Dad?" What?who?Huo Mingyang was stunned, only felt a strong force coming from his side, and couldn't help staggering.Xia Weilan struggled to free her hand, and rushed over like a runaway horse, staring fixedly at the white-robed man floating in the void, hesitating, and let out a low cry—— "dad?!"
