Chapter 7: One wave after another 1
I hummed a little tune happily, wiped my hair with a towel, and walked out of the misty fairyland-like bathroom.
After watching Yilan leave, I went home to wash up and get ready for bed. The haze in my heart was swept away, and I felt that I was the happiest person in the world now. God really loves me too much. He first blessed me with two such perfect and beautiful boys who love me deeply, and now he has made them merge into one person. I am so lucky.
Using a hair dryer to dry my wet hair, I sat down at the desk as usual. I couldn't help but open the Sakura Holy Beast photo album which became blank because Ino and the others "came out". My fingertips couldn't help but slide over the line of words describing Ino.
Ino, the sacred beast of the wolf clan, is sometimes friendly and sometimes fierce and brutal. He is the leader of this rebellion. He has a keen sense of smell and can judge the good and evil of people and things by their smell.
I have always wondered why Ino is different from this description, and now the doubts in my heart have finally been solved. Because Ino - in fact, it is Ino and Yilan, one is friendly, loyal, and cute, and the other is fierce, cruel, but domineering and loyal. Perhaps the wolf tribe is born to be a leader, and Ino's gentle personality is not enough to take on the responsibility, so Yilan came to fill this defect. The Creator is really amazing!
However, when my fingertips moved to the page that should have been blank, I trembled unconsciously. Why did the originally blank album begin to have a blurred outline?
The ominous premonition in my heart made me panic. I looked through the pages about Youxi and Quint again, and there were vague outlines as well.
What on earth is going on? Could it be that this photo album is a printing machine that automatically generates portraits, and when they "walk" out, a new batch of portraits will be generated?
However, there was a voice in my heart reminding me that things were not as simple as I imagined, nor as optimistic as I imagined.
I looked up at the bright moon in the sky, half of which was covered by dark clouds. What else was going to happen that I didn't know about? Was the appearance of Ino and the others really just an accident caused by me?
How could such a magical photo album fall from the sky? What truth is hidden in it that I don't know? Why is it such a coincidence that my blood can unlock the seal of Ino and others?
Now that the seal has been lifted, they don't run away, but try their best to get close to me. Why? And what kind of conspiracy is hidden behind these accidents and coincidences?
When I arrived at school early in the morning, I saw Ino with a pair of big dark circles under his eyes, listlessly lying on the desk, with his lips pouting high, as if protesting how the goddess of sleep could abandon him. Knowing that it was Yilan's appearance that caused Ino's lack of energy, I smiled helplessly and walked towards Ino.
There is no other way! In order to see Yilan, I can only let Yinuo suffer a little.
"Are you okay? Why don't you take a leave and go to the infirmary to get some sleep, and I'll help you take notes for the morning class." Seeing Ino yawning until tears came out, I suggested with concern.
"No need! I'm scared when I think about sleeping now. Every time I sleep, I dream that I'm being devoured. When I wake up, I feel even more exhausted physically and mentally. I might as well not sleep at all!"
Ino yawned and complained with sighs, as if he couldn't understand why he kept having nightmares.
"Ouch...be gentle! It hurts so much." Youxi's screams reached my ears. I turned back curiously, could it be that this stupid rabbit had provoked Xi Ziqian to use violence again?
Looking back, I saw that not only Youxi, but also Quint had bruises on his face. My brows knitted tightly unconsciously. Why do I have a feeling that their injuries are related to Yilan?
"Okay, are you going to draw everyone's attention to us?" Quint rolled his eyes and said helplessly. No wonder he was wearing a hat today and always kept his head down, it turned out to be to hide the fact that he was injured.
"Just bear with it! After applying the medicine, the bruises will disappear a lot." Xi Ziqian took the medicine and gently helped Youxi clean the wound.
"What's wrong with you?" I asked curiously.
Could it be that Youxi was frightened by some noise and ran away, causing Quint to fall and get bruised?
"Hmph! Just ask Ino yourself. It was he who did the good thing." Youxi said aggrievedly, then turned his face away, as if he had decided not to forgive Ino for the rest of his life.
I looked at Ino in confusion, while Ino scratched his hair in annoyance.
"I've already told you, I fell asleep very early last night, how could I have hit you? You must have fallen off the bed because you slept so badly, and you're accusing me." Ino growled in frustration. Due to lack of sleep and being wrongly accused, he finally lost his temper.
"I'm curious too! I clearly saw you go back to your room to sleep, but you came back from outside. I kindly asked you where you had been, but you just beat you up without asking any questions . Quint came to stop the fight, but you continued to fight. Do you really think we can't beat you? We are letting you go, you conscienceless stupid dog." Youxi accused as if he had suffered a great injustice.
I looked at Quint again, asking him with my eyes: Could it be Ilan?
Quint nodded, suggesting to me that it was Yilan who did it, and also signaled me not to ask so many questions.
"Forget it, Ino was probably under too much pressure, so he sleepwalked! Don't take it too seriously, he didn't mean it." Quint calmly comforted Youxi, and as for Ino, he just sighed helplessly.
"How could it not be intentional? You saw it yourself. He grabbed me and beat me up for no reason and told us not to get close to Xiao Qian again. His eyes were red. If he hadn't fainted suddenly, we might not have seen the sun today. Wasn't he too cruel when he was sleepwalking?" You Xi was still indignant. When he saw his funny appearance reflected on the glass window, he hugged Xi Ziqian and cried in grievance.
I looked at Quint and could only give him an apologetic look.
I don't know why Yilan suddenly went crazy. I guess she was jealous again. Wolves are too possessive. This is their nature!
"Okay! Youxi, I'm sorry, I might really be sleepwalking." After hearing Youxi and Quint's accusations, Ino apologized with a headache, "I found that my mental state has been getting worse recently. I feel confused every day and often can't tell whether I am dreaming or awake."
"I don't really blame you!" After hearing Ino's apology, Youxi also felt embarrassed, "I've also been feeling weak lately, otherwise if I had smelled something wrong with you, I would have run away faster than a rabbit... faster than lightning!"
"I'm sorry, Youxi. I'll buy you the latest game console later as an apology from Ino." I comforted Youxi guiltily. In the final analysis, it was my fault.
"It's a deal!" As soon as he heard about the game console, Youxi's eyes lit up instantly. All the aggrieved feelings disappeared, and he looked at me eagerly with starry eyes.
I was immediately confused.
I really admire him. Once he hears something fun, he forgets everything.
I glanced at the listless Ino and then at the sullen Quint. What was going on? Even if Yilan was jealous, she wouldn't take her anger out on them!
Also, they all said that they have been feeling low in energy and fatigue lately. Is this just a coincidence, or does it have anything to do with the photo album whose outline is gradually taking shape?
