"Cao Mo" reclined under a big pine tree, his hands clasped around his chest, and his black eyes scanned her face unscrupulously, as if he wanted to see her through.It's so rude, it's completely different from Cao Mo in her dream, it's just a stinky hooligan Ruo Yi scolded angrily in her heart, and stared back with wide eyes without giving in."
Cao Mo" seemed to be a little surprised, he frowned in confusion, and the coldness and sense of exploration in his eyes suddenly faded a lot, replaced by surprise, even disbelief.Ruoyi also felt strange, how could she seem to understand the meaning of "Cao Mo's" gaze, obviously a stranger, but she just had the same face as the person in her dream, it couldn't be Cao Mo who crawled out of her dream.They just looked at each other.Ruoyi suddenly realized that her previous anger had disappeared, and she had an urge to get to know the man outside the house.She couldn't tell how she came up with this idea.Ruoyi was a little annoyed, turned his head abruptly, and stopped looking at "Cao Mo".When she turned her head, she happened to meet Yelena's face, and both she and Yelena were startled.Ruoyi patted his chest, looking unhappy: "How can you just come into my room." ”As she spoke, she quietly glanced outside, there was no "Cao Mo" under the pine tree, and she didn't know if Yelena had seen "Cao Mo".Yelena smiled and said, "Xiaoyi, I knocked on the door, but you didn't hear it." ”"One last time."
Ruoi said seriously.Perhaps due to the influence of her dream life, she didn't care too much about the people around her who were watching her actions all the time.However, she was always mindful of Yelena's behavior, especially Yelena's behavior of not greeting her into her room, without the slightest concern, but as if she was constantly tempting and guarding.She had reiterated to Yelena over and over again that she was not allowed to enter her room at will, and Yelena would apologize to her every time, but it seemed that she had never changed.Now, she really didn't want to back down.A hint of displeasure flashed across Yelena's face, which was quickly replaced by a loving smile: "Okay, I'll pay attention next time."
Xiaoyi, do you want to take a bath first, and you'll have to go down for dinner in a while. ”Ruoyi nodded: "Okay." ”The words were answered, but she didn't move.Yelena paused for a while, then came back to her senses, remembering that her family had never done anything by herself, she scolded Lei Haotian half to death in her heart, and had to go into the bathroom to put the bath water for Ruoyi, and helped Ruoyi take out a change of clothes from the drawer and put them on the shelf next to the bathroom, and did not forget to advise: "The wardrobe in the house is full of new clothes you are wearing, and after washing, change a set of clothes and go downstairs for dinner." ”Ruoyi nodded, and went straight to the bathroom.She didn't see a hint of gloom in Yelena's gentle smile behind her.When Ruoi came out of the shower, the door of the room was wide open, and the maid who had brought her in before stood by the door.After the maid bowed down to her, she said to her in authentic Chinese: "My name is Wuqiu, and the old lady asked me to serve the young lady." ”Ruoyi's English is not bad, and there is absolutely no problem with everyday language.But people are willing to cooperate with her to speak Chinese, and she doesn't want to make trouble for herself.She sat down at the dresser, and Wu Qiu came over to blow Ruoyi's hair with a good look in her eyes.Ruoyi said casually: "I really feel like I'm here for the first time, and I don't have any impression of the people here." ”She is telling the truth, she really has no impression of her grandmother and this family in her memory, only a faint cognition.Wu Qiu paused for a moment before replying: "The old lady is very good to us, and the salary is also very much, and everyone in the town wants to work here with the old lady. ”She deserves to be a little bit wrong, and Ruoyi doesn't care, she was just chatting and didn't really want to inquire about anything.However, Wu Qiu's words were let her know, and someone must have reminded Wu Qiu that she couldn't talk to her casually or reveal anything to her.It seems that her previous hunch is still very accurate.After drying her hair, Ruoyi changed into the clothes that Uqiu had picked out for her, and then went downstairs.In the hall on the first floor, there were quite a few people sitting, almost all of them the ones she had seen at the door.They sat casually, chatting together in English, and when they talked about interesting things, the room burst into laughter.Ruoi stood at the top of the stairs and looked down, but there was a strange feeling in his heart.She felt that the people below were acting like they were acting, obviously not so close, but they had to act close, but they kept a certain safe distance from each other.And women talk a lot, and men only occasionally interject a few inconsequential words, like the women's home field, and the men are just foils."
Miss, go down."
Wu Qiu asked in a low voice.The people below seemed to hear it, raised their heads and looked over, and Old Mrs.
Ye waved at Ruoyi, and said in Chinese with a British accent: "Come, come and sit next to grandma." ”Ruo Yi went downstairs, walked straight over and sat next to Mrs.
Ye, maybe she was too close to this, she keenly felt that Mrs.
Ye was stiff for a moment, and then as if she was pressed by the corner of her clothes, she moved uncomfortably to the side.Sure enough, this grandmother is the same as her mother, and she is extremely affectionate to her on the surface, but in fact, she has to keep a certain distance, otherwise she will not feel comfortable."
Xiaoyi, are you still satisfied with the house, if you are not satisfied, just tell your grandmother."
Old Madam Ye said kindly, and gently stroked Ruoyi's long hair.Ruoyi looked left and right, grabbed the nearest piece of cake and nibbled on it.Her rude demeanor made half of the people in the room blacken their faces.Lei Haotian was embarrassed and reminded in a low voice: "Xiaoyi, it's too rude, hold the plate and eat slowly with a fork." ”"I'm hungry."
Joe took a few bites, and most of the cake was gone, and the snow-white cream and black chocolate slurry were on her lips, and the white and black mixed together to form a circle around her mouth.Yelena handed over a tissue and said kissingly: "Why are you still so childish, eating all over your mouth." ”"Mouth" Ruoyi directly reached out and wiped it, and stuffed the cream and chocolate slurry that were then stained on his fingers directly into his mouth.The tissue in Yelena's hand fell directly to the ground, and she turned her head and glared at Lei Haotian, how did you teach her.Lei Haotian didn't notice Yelena's anger at all, he only had Ruo Yi who was eating like a little flower cat in his eyes, and the memory of sleeping for many years seemed to wake up in an instant, but the other four people in his memory disappeared without a trace.Old Madam Ye couldn't stand it anymore, and glanced at the housekeeper next to her, who received the hint and hurriedly said, "Dinner is ready, old lady, please go to the restaurant." ”Old Madam Ye took the opportunity to step down: "Okay, okay, let's go to the restaurant." ”Ruoyi got up and grabbed Old Madam Ye's arm with both hands: "Grandma, I'll help you over." ”Old Madam Ye almost stepped on the hem of her skirt, and could only watch as her little hands stained with creamy chocolate syrup and cake mixture tugged at her sleeves.She glanced at Ruoyi, who smiled at her, looking simple and unscheming.Old Madam Ye secretly comforted herself, it's okay, it's okay, it's a little girl, it must not be intentional.The main course of dinner is the grilled beef ribs with Bordeaux red wine sauce, the tender beef ribs are fried directly on a baking sheet until medium-rare, and served with the Bordeaux red wine sauce, which is rich and delicious, but also has a faint sour taste from the red wine.It's a pity that the whole table has no appetite, and watching Ruoyi eat happily alone.The sound of the steak knife slicing across the plate was terrifying, and the golden and crispy crumbs of bread in the juicy and tender tomatoes were sprinkled everywhere, and as Ruo ate it, he did not forget to take in the expressions of everyone at the table.She didn't mean to be weird, she had the impression that Western food was really not eaten like this, the steak was always cut into small pieces and brought to the front, and the bread was cut and even brushed with ingredients.If it weren't for these people deliberately embarrassing her, it would be that they hadn't eaten at the same table with her at all.It can be said that my grandmother doesn't know, these relatives don't know, but my mother doesn't know either.And she could tell from Lei Haotian's expression that he knew her habits.A husband and wife, her biological parents, the two of them know her very differently from Mrs.
Ye is still old and shrewd, she quickly came back to her senses, and said with a faint smile: "Xiaoyi rarely uses knives and forks, just learn slowly." ”Ruoyi nodded comfortably: "Yes, someone used to make it for me, I just need to eat." ”Yelena also reacted and glared at Lei Haotian: "You have been spoiling her like this, look at what kind of spoiled she has become, and there is no table manners at all." ”"It's okay, it's okay, Xiao Yi is still young," Mrs.
Ye said with a smile: "Xiao Yi, go back to the house for a while and have a good rest, tomorrow I am going to have a dance party for you and introduce you to your friends and neighbors in the town."
There are bound to be a lot of young people your age at the ball, and you might be able to make a few good friends. ”She also winked at Ruoyi."
Okay."
Ruoyi didn't think about it, so he responded: "I don't have any friends." ”She put down her fork, grabbed a napkin and wiped the oil on the corners of her mouth and hands, and got up: "I'm full." ”"Then go back and rest."
Old Madam Ye was still very kind: "I must be tired from sitting on a plane and car for such a long time." ”Ruoyi smiled at her: "Well, I'm tired. ”Seeing Ruoyi go upstairs and disappear, the smile on Mrs.
Ye's face disappeared, and she said, "Look, how is she." ”The woman sitting opposite Yelena put down the knife and fork in her hand and said, "A wasted person, not stupid, but not scheming." ”The woman sitting under Yelena also said, "According to my observation, she has no magical power on her, and the several magic spells on her body are also very strong. ”Yelena was not very relieved: "I don't know if she will be suspicious of what happened just now, for the sake of conservatism, I have to erase her memories tonight, remove those bad ones, and add some memories about this town, as well as my grandmother's house and relatives." ”Old Madam Ye nodded: "Yes, Linna is very thoughtful. ”She glanced at all the women in the hall again: "You have to pick those people at tomorrow's ball.Don't send everything over. ”The women all had unconvinced expressions on their faces, but no one objected to anything.Ruoyi returned to the house, and Ukyu laid out the quilt for her, adjusted the air conditioner, and even put the washing water and squeezed the toothpaste."
Okay, it's okay, you can go out."
Ruoyi sent Wuqiu away and washed up casually.Ruoi wasn't really tired, she just didn't want to be around those people downstairs.Unconsciously she walked to the window, lifted the corner of the curtain, and looked under the big pine tree.Although it was already past eight o'clock, and the weather outside was still very bright, there was no one under the pine trees, and it was empty.Ruoyi was annoyed all of a sudden, she didn't understand why she was thinking about that person, just because he looked like Cao Mo in her dreams Cao Mo, the man who was good to her wholeheartedly, would rather dedicate his soul and life twice, if it really existed, how good it would be.Joi threw herself on the bed and buried her head in the pillow, she kind of wanted to fall asleep quickly, so that she could return to the place she liked again in her dreams.In the middle of the night, Ruoyi heard a child's voice calling out to her: "Mother, mother, wake up." ”Joe rolled over and pulled on the quilt to cover her head.The voice was even more anxious, and it was a little louder, and even cried: "Mother, get up quickly, mother" The title of mother made Ruoyi wake up suddenly.She looked left and right, there was no one else in the room, she couldn't help but sigh, did she dream again, and before she could close her eyes, she felt a force pressing down.Witch Power reacted subconsciously in her mind.She is too familiar with the feeling of witch power pressing on her body, and so much witch power in her body that does not belong to her was suppressed, and she was tormented for a long time.I don't know how long it took for the magic power in her body to fade.Ruoyi realized that the quilt under him was soaked.She could clearly feel that there were suddenly more memories in her mind, and these memories were related to the people she saw today, grandmother, mother, and the so-called aunts and uncles injected into memories, which was a very simple kind of witchcraft, that is, to change a person's memory.Is someone doing this kind of witchcraft on her now, why does she have magical powers, isn't she in a dream?
If there is witchcraft, then there are witches.Is that dream of hers real?
Ruoyi tentatively shoved his left index finger into his mouth and took a gentle bite.It hurts, it hurts somewhat.It hurts, isn't that a dream, Ruoyi's back stiffened, she lay on the bed and didn't dare to move, she felt that she should have discovered the tip of the iceberg of a huge secret.Just now, it was the voice of the child in the dream that woke her up, and she found out the secret.As a child, she thought about her pregnancy in her dreams.She put her hands on her lower abdomen and shouted over and over again in her mind: "Are you my child, are you?"
