Chapter 12 Bloodthirsty Love 3. Love on the Knife Edge
In the morning, Wu Yu was awakened by the sound of dripping rain. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the room was gloomy and Yunyun was no longer in bed. He took out his cell phone and saw that it was already past ten o'clock. He got up listlessly and washed up . Then, when he was looking at his face in the mirror, his cell phone suddenly rang.
The call was from Yunyun, who asked him if he had gotten up yet. Wu Yu replied that he was getting ready to go out for breakfast. Yunyun smiled and scolded him for being lazy, then told him to go to Xinluo School for lunch. Before Wu Yu could ask why, Yunyun hung up the phone.
Wu Yu stared at the phone for a while, took the Xishi umbrella and opened the door to go out, when he heard a series of footsteps. He looked up and saw Su Wei standing in the rain and smiling at him. Wu Yu smiled back, walked towards him and said, "You got up at this time too. Did you have fun on Xiaoxue's birthday yesterday?"
"Nothing special, just went to the bar and had a few drinks."
"Are there bars in Wuzhen? If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten that I haven't been to a bar for a while." Wu Yu remembered that when he was in the company, he often went to a nearby bar with his colleagues to drink at night, but after coming to the ancient town, he never went there once because he wanted to investigate the truth of the ancient house.
"How long do you plan to stay here?" Su Wei suddenly .
"Well... I think it will be soon. Why do you think of asking this? Are you planning to go back to Guangzhou too?"
"I have such a plan, now that I know what the 'ghost marriage' is, but..."
"Can't you leave Niao Niao?"
Su Wei nodded, and suddenly looked at Wu Yu mysteriously, and said, "After you experienced that ghost marriage, did you feel anything strange?"
Wu Yu pondered for a while and said, "I didn't, could it be that you..."
Su Wei remained silent. Wu Yu felt vaguely uneasy, wondering if it was true that the ghost lady would come to haunt him as the legend said. Although Wu Yu thought so, he felt that it was impossible. If it was a dream, he believed that it was just a psychological effect.
After Wu Yu and Su Wei had breakfast, Su Wei returned to his old house with a heavy heart. It seemed that he still couldn't let go of Niao Niao. Wu Yu shook his hair and saw that it was getting late, so he simply went to Yunyun's place. In fact, he was not really thinking about Yunyun in his heart, he was worried about what happened with Xinluo last night.
Wu Yu arrived at the school leisurely, pushed the door open, and found the school very deserted. Only the two sisters Yunyun and Xinluo were there, and there were no other students. Wu Yu was slightly surprised.
Seeing Wu Yu's surprised expression, Niao Niao smiled and said, "Brother Yu, what's wrong with you today?"
Wu Yu smiled sheepishly and asked, "Where are those students? Why can't I see them?"
"It seems you have forgotten what day it is today ?" Niao Niao still looked at him and smiled.
"What day?" Wu Yu looked stunned.
"Today is Sunday, I don't have classes, and most importantly: today is my sister's birthday."
"Really?" Wu Yu looked at Xinluo in surprise. But Xinluo pretended not to know and turned away.
"Of course it's true, but I wonder what gift you're going to give my sister?"
"This..." Wu Yu was a little embarrassed. He was not aware of Xinluo's birthday, and no one had told him about it beforehand.
"You look serious, but actually Niaoniao is just teasing you." Yunyun suddenly smiled and tried to adjust the atmosphere.
Wu Yu suddenly realized and scolded with a smile: "I didn't expect the beautiful Niao Niao to be so naughty..."
"Niao Niao, let's go." Yunyun suddenly stood up and said to Niao Niao.
"Yeah." Niao Niao responded, walked forward, took Yunyun's hand and prepared to go out.
When Yunyun passed by Wu Yu, she glanced at him and said, "Niao Niao and I will go out for a while." Then she opened the umbrella, opened the door and went out.
After Yunyun and Niao Niao left, the school became even quieter.
"Where are they going?" Wu Yu looked at Xin Luo's back in confusion, as if he was talking to himself, or as if he was asking Xin Luo a question.
"They went to buy groceries." Xinluo looked at Wu Yu lovingly, in stark contrast to her previous indifference.
Wu Yu stopped talking and looked at Xinluo quietly. Seeing her clear and moving eyes, he thought of the passion of last night and couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.
Xinluo suddenly stood up, walked to Wu Yu, raised her eyes to look at him, and said softly: "Yu, I love you!" After that, she hugged Wu Yu tightly.
Wu Yu felt panic-stricken, thinking that if Yunyun saw it, the consequences would be disastrous. Thinking of this, he hurriedly took a few steps back to break free from Xin Luo's hands.
Xinluo stared at Wu Yu blankly and asked, "What's wrong? Are you scared?"
Wu Yu suddenly felt that Xinluo was a little different today, and hurriedly explained: "Xinluo, listen to me, I will be responsible for you."
"How to take responsibility? Will you leave Yunyun and be with me?" As Xinluo spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, and her expression became more and more pitiful.
Wu Yu never liked to see women cry, let alone seeing Xinluo crying. His heart softened all of a sudden. He stepped forward and hugged Xinluo in his arms. He wiped the tears from her eyes with his hands and said softly, "Don't cry like a child. You won't be beautiful that way..."
At this moment, the door suddenly creaked, and Wu Yu subconsciously took a few steps back. Niao Niao looked at them in surprise, and then murmured, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Xinluo took a deep breath.
Niao Niao smiled, walked straight in, and then hurried out.
"This girl..." Xinluo sighed softly.
"Nianyiao she..." Wu Yu said in shock.
"She always loses things. It seems she forgot to take the money out this time."
After hearing this, Wu Yu remained silent. He raised his head and looked at Xin Luo with a pitiful look, and could not help but hug her in his arms again.
