Chapter 7: One wave after another 3
"Xiao Qian... Xiao Qian... don't go, don't be afraid of me... Xiao Qian... I'm here, I will protect you..." Through the crack in the door, I saw Ino sleeping on the big white bed, stammering in his sleep.
"He has been sleeping since he came back. Sometimes it's Ino who's talking, and sometimes it's Yilan."
Quint sighed helplessly, closed the door, and took me to the living room.
After dinner in the evening, I received a call from Quint, asking me to come to the Glass Castle.
I knew something must have happened to Ino again. After Yilan fainted in the morning, Quint brought her back, and they didn't show up again until school was over.
Although I was afraid of Yilan's wolf nature, I was still very worried about him, so as soon as I received Quint's call, I rushed over without stopping. However, the situation was even more serious than I thought.
"What happened to Ino and Yilan?" I asked with concern. Looking at such a weak Ino, my heart felt like being stabbed by countless needles, and even breathing was difficult.
"I told you before, Ilan's possessiveness is too strong. The longer he exists, the more dangerous Ino will be. Now that Ilan can appear during the day, Ino is too weak to get out of bed. If this continues, I'm afraid Ino will disappear." Quint's words were like a sharp sword, piercing me to pieces.
It turns out that it was really Ilan who was devouring Ino, and my entanglement was pushing Ino towards disappearance.
"There is one more thing I have not dared to tell you. I am afraid of putting pressure on you. But now, if I don't tell you now, I am afraid I will never have the chance to tell you again." Quint stared at me seriously, with endless helplessness in his eyes. "In fact, your unsealing of us is only temporary. You may have discovered that we have become weak recently. That's because the album is trying to suck us back. Only by removing the magic seal on you and regaining your magic can we remove the spiritual power of the album."
Hearing this, I was shocked at first, and then distressed. The doubts in my heart were finally solved one by one. This is why they took great pains , and this is why the outline of the album slowly appeared again.
"If I don't unseal your magic, I'm afraid that the next time we meet, we will both be in the album. And this time the seal is permanent, we can never get out again." Quint continued. In addition to helplessness, there was also a trace of panic in his eyes, afraid that he would really be trapped in the album forever.
"I asked my uncle for advice on how to remove the seal, but even he didn't know why my magic was sealed. I don't want any of you to disappear, but... I don't know how to remove the seal!"
I sat on the sofa with my knees hugged in frustration and my head buried between them. I wanted to know how to lift the seal more than anyone else.
"Dark magic is passed down from generation to generation. If you have hidden magic in you, then your father or uncle must be the carrier. They must know how to remove the seal." Quint held my shoulders and encouraged me. No matter how good he was at concealing it, I could clearly see at this moment that he longed for eternal freedom.
I will definitely find a way to remove the seal.
I'll go ask my uncle again! Dad has always been a serious businessman. I believe that black magic should not have much to do with him. My uncle is so powerful that he will definitely be able to help me think of a solution.
I squatted down in front of Ino's bed, caressing his pale face with great concern, the slightly hot touch stinging my heart. I pulled up the quilt that slipped off because of Ino's turning over. He had a slight fever, so I must not make it worse.
"Whether you are Ino or Yilan, I beg you, please get well soon, okay? I want to see the sunny Ino, I want to see the loyal and domineering Yilan. Seeing you like this, besides heartache, I blame myself for being useless and why I can't find a way to lift the seal. I really can't bear to see either of you disappear!" As I spoke, hot tears slid down unconsciously and dripped onto the back of my hand, which was as painful as burning.
They all risked their lives to protect me, but I had to watch them turn into portraits again.
"Xiao Qian!" Probably awakened by my sobbing, Ino opened his eyes, tears of pity flashing in his eyes. He looked at me worriedly, "Why are you crying?"
"I'm fine. Are you feeling better?" I immediately wiped away my tears and helped Ino sit up.
After staring at me for a while, Ino frowned.
"What's wrong with your forehead?" Ino reached out and touched the bruise on my forehead, his eyes full of confusion.
"No, it's okay! I bumped into it accidentally." I shrank my neck in pain, not daring to meet Ino's eyes, and could only explain hesitantly.
Ino is too weak now, and he may not be able to accept the fact that he has another personality!
"Does it hurt? Did you apply any medicine?" Ino asked worriedly.
"It's okay. I'll be happy if you get better soon." I forced a smile and comforted Ino. Compared to me, he is a patient!
"I will. I must get better soon. You see, you hurt yourself as soon as I fell ill. How can you survive without my protection, you are so careless?" Ino smiled innocently, with a firm belief in his watery eyes, as if as long as he protected me, I would be safe.
I smiled, but my vision became blurry. If I don't protect this prince who is so obsessed with me, who will ?
There was a strange gurgling sound, and Ino and I looked at his stomach at the same time. I couldn't help but laugh, this greedy guy, when he was so touched, he was actually hungry.
"Hey! Xiao Qian, I'm hungry!" Ino looked at me with a smile and said coquettishly, "I want to eat what you cook. I'm so hungry! I think I can eat a whole cow now!"
"Okay! I'll go to the kitchen to see if there's anything to eat and make you a big table of delicious food, okay?" I coaxed Ino like a child. No one else could be spoiled by me like this.
"Yeah! Xiao Qian is the best!"
Ino swallowed his saliva in surprise, and seemed to want to pounce on the table and bite it.
"Then you take a rest. I'll call you when the food is ready!" I helped Ino lie down and covered him with a blanket.
"Promise to be good!" Ino saluted me mischievously and blinked his electric eyes at me.
Faced with such a handsome boy, I, Qian Xunrui, can only accept defeat.
I hummed a little tune, watching the porridge on the stove and cutting the meat neatly. Inuo is very weak now, so he should drink some porridge. I will cook him some preserved egg and lean meat porridge to fill his stomach first, and when he recovers, I will prepare a full banquet for him!
"Why are you always so nice to him?" A deep voice sounded behind me. I turned around suddenly and saw Yilan weakly holding the door frame, looking at me coldly.
"Yilan?" Although I was still a little afraid of him, I went forward and supported him when I saw that he was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to stand.
"How many times have I told you not to be nice to that stupid dog? Why don't you listen?" Yilan looked at the kitchen with disappointment, then looked at me.
"Yilan, please stop being so stubborn, okay? You two are basically the same person. I pamper Yinuo because I hope you get !" I sighed helplessly.
"Hmph! Do you want me to get better? Aren't you hoping that I'll disappear as soon as possible?" Yilan sneered contemptuously. The sarcastic words made me frown.
How long will he keep going on about this?
With a clang...
"Ah!" I screamed in fright.
Yilan actually pushed the porridge on the stove to the ground, and then threw all the ingredients on the chopping board into the trash can like crazy.
"Why would that stupid dog eat these things? He should just give up on it!"
The noise continued. Yilan actually picked up the baseball bat by the door and swung it wildly, first hitting the dishes, then the boiler, and finally even the tables and chairs, smashing them all to pieces.
"Wow, Yilan, stop it! You scared me! Yilan, what happened to you? Wow, you've become so scary!" I cried helplessly, not daring to step forward to stop him. He was so angry that he might even hit me!
"Stupid human!" After venting, Yilan grabbed my neck and said, "You belong to me and me alone. If you dare to be nice to others again, I will kill everyone...including you..."
After saying that, Yilan bared his fangs again and pounced on me.
"ah!"
I closed my eyes resignedly.
But the pain was not as I had imagined. Yilan pressed heavily on me. When I opened my eyes, he had fainted again.
Quint showed up in time and supported Yilan, preventing me from being crushed into a meat pie. But seeing Quint's almost desperate eyes, I could only hate myself for being incompetent.
"If you hesitate any longer, Ino and Yilan will disappear." Quint said coldly, then carried Yilan back to the room.
Looking at Quint and Ilan's backs, I didn't know what to do except cry.
