It was almost dusk when An He woke up.

The sky outside was gradually dimming, and there were lights flickering in the distance, and the night wind blew in through the gap of the window, stirring her shoulder-length black hair.

An He suddenly remembered that she didn't seem to have had time to take a closer look at her appearance so far.

Ever since she pressed the fast-forward button, all she could think about was Bai Nan's affairs. When she got home, she was in a hurry to find Bai Nan's figure, and she was overwhelmed with her own affairs.

She sighed, got up and turned on the light in the room, then went to the bathroom to look in the mirror.

"You will definitely thank me." The system suddenly spoke to her in his mind, with pride in his voice.

"How do you say it?" An He asked, slightly curling the corners of his mouth.

"Look for yourself." The system said, "If it wasn't for my ability to pick, you wouldn't be so good-looking now."

"Oh." An He responded, thinking that the system was probably playing with her, so she didn't pay much attention to it, but looked into the mirror very calmly.

This look really surprised her a little.

An He found that he was even more beautiful at this time than when he was a child.

She has red lips and white teeth, a slender and graceful figure, and her eyes seem to contain a pool of warm spring water.

Although you can still find the shadow of your childhood, it is several times more beautiful than when you were a child. Just one glance will make people feel amazing.

It was the first time for An He to realize that she could be so beautiful.

"How is it?" The system asked her, "Do you have to thank me?"

"Yes, yes, it's okay to give you a thumbs up." An He said, giving a thumbs up to the mirror, and then laughed out loud with the system.

The current time is eight o'clock in the evening, and it has been nearly five hours since An He first returned to Bai's house.

During this period, the whole body has been very quiet, and everyone seems to be taking care of her feelings, without making a sound.

For several hours, the Bai family was shrouded in an atmosphere of silence.

As time goes by, it becomes weird.

An He hasn't been home for two years, and he doesn't know anything about the changes in Bai's house. He is already full of curiosity and eager to go out to find out.

But for some reason, at this moment, there was a sudden uneasiness in her heart.

This is obviously her home, but the strangeness of those scattered bits and pieces in the air still made her feel a little nervous.

She was so nervous that even her body trembled unconsciously, as if there was a voice in her mind telling her that something had already changed.

An He took a deep breath and gently turned the doorknob.

The darkness was slowly exposed to her vision as she moved slowly, and An He was surprised to find that there was no light turned on in the hall.

The servants in my memory who were always busy going back and forth in the house disappeared at some point, and the surroundings were empty, and no one could see them.

It wasn't until finally An He touched the switch on the wall with his memory that the surrounding gradually lit up.

As far as the eye can see, there is no one there, and it is completely quiet.

An He was puzzled, and then walked down the stairs slowly, and came to the hall to stand still.

Before she could take a closer look at her surroundings, the mobile phone in her hand rang suddenly, which startled her.

An He frowned, regained his composure, and then took the phone in front of his eyes to take a look.

It turned out to be Li Yaoyao calling.

The phone ringing in the middle of the night always gives people a strange feeling.

An He hesitated for a moment, and finally pressed the answer button.

"Are you okay?" Li Yaoyao's voice came from the receiver, "Did you take a good rest?"

"Yes." An He nodded in response, his eyes still wandering around to inquire about everything around him, "What about you?"

"My side is also pretty good." Li Yaoyao said so, and then exchanged a few words with An He.

An He was absent-minded the whole time, and answered vaguely, and in the end, he couldn't even tell what Li Yaoyao asked.

"Are you busy?" No matter how stupid Li Yaoyao was, she already had a feeling at this time, "Then I won't bother you."

"Well, good." An He said, knowing that he had neglected Li Yaoyao, he felt a little embarrassed, "Take care of yourself and enjoy your vacation."

"Understood." Li Yaoyao replied.

"En." An He nodded, and then wanted to hang up the phone.

But before she had time to make any movements, Li Yaoyao's voice suddenly came from there again, as if she still wanted to say something, her tone seemed hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong?" An He frowned.

"Have you seen... Bai Nan?" She heard Li Yaoyao mention Bai Nan's name.

These two people should not have much contact with each other at ordinary times, and they can't hit each other. It's because the sun came out from the west that Li Yaoyao suddenly started talking about Bai Nan.

"I didn't see it." An He said, "Bai Qi and the others said that she had gone far away and would not be back for a while."

"That's it." Li Yaoyao responded.

I don't know if it's his own illusion, but An He always felt that Li Yaoyao on the other end of the phone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"I'll come to you in three days." Before An He could ask any more questions, Li Yaoyao concluded with this sentence, and then hung up the phone.

Strange.

It's really weird, it's weird everywhere, whether it's Bai Nan who hasn't been in touch with her since he traveled far away, or this dark house, even the phone call from Li Yaoyao just now is extremely weird .

This feeling of not being able to see clearly made An He feel extremely irritated. She was silent for a moment, and finally threw the phone on the sofa, and then sat down on her own.

Now she has finally confirmed that there is no one in the house, and the only thing that can make a sound is the clock hanging on the wall.

An He frowned and stared at the clock for a long time, and watched the time run forward for a long time before finally hearing something else.

She turned her head to look in response, and saw Bai Qi appearing in her field of vision.

He was wearing a vest and running shoes on his feet. His muscles with various scars were exposed. His body was steaming hot. He probably just came back from a night run.

The moment he saw An He, he was also taken aback as if he was taken aback. After a while, he said softly: "I forgot that you came back."

"What do you mean?" An He said, "It's always like this when I'm not at home?"

"No." Bai Qi said, and then went to the table to pour himself a glass of water and drank it, "Isn't it because Mom is not at home, I go out for night runs every night, what are you doing wasting electricity?"

"When did you start saving so much?" An He raised her lips and smiled at him, as if chatting with him, but there was no smile in her eyes.

"Before you knew it." Bai Qi also raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

Not knowing these three words, An He immediately found the reason why he was so irritable and restless.

"There should be quite a lot I don't know, right?" She was silent for a moment, and finally squeezed out such a sentence from her mouth.

Bai Qi didn't answer her, as if he didn't hear the question An He posed to him at all, his eyes still had a touch of indifference.

"How did you get your injuries?" Seeing that he ignored her, An He's brows suddenly frowned even tighter, "And those calluses on your hands for no reason, this big servant who disappeared in the house people, and the one who is said to have traveled far away..."

"Bai Yufei." An He didn't finish her sentence, the moment Bai Nan was mentioned, Bai Qi interrupted her.

He even stood up from the sofa and gradually approached her.

An He sat on the spot and stared at him, not knowing what Bai Qi was going to do, the atmosphere was extremely awkward for a moment.

"Tomorrow is your birthday." After Bai Qi walked up to her and stood still, he pursed his lips again and smiled at her, "Whatever you want, brother will buy it for you."

An He really didn't expect Bai Qi to care about her so much.

So deliberate, so unnatural concern.

"No need." An He didn't continue to entangle with him, but got up and went back to his room.

She knew that even if she kept asking, she still wouldn't find out anything.

damn it.

……

For a long time after returning to the house, An He didn't know what to do.

This feeling that everyone knows that only she is kept in the dark, this feeling that there is a fog in front of her eyes and she can't find an exit at all almost drives her crazy.

But she had no choice, the only thing she could do was to be in a daze, nothing else.

At this moment, An He felt like a waste.

The phone in his pocket vibrated again, An He took it out to check, and found that the time had already reached zero.

There was a message dancing on the screen, An He clicked on it, and saw that it was a blessing from Li Yaoyao.

"Happy Birthday," read the screen.

Immediately behind was a photo of the bustling night scene, Li Yaoyao was standing in front of the colorful lanterns to compare her heart.

When seeing this photo, An He was suddenly stunned.

The system asked her in his mind, what are you thinking, why has there been no movement for so long.

"Do you still remember..." Hearing the system talking to herself, An He paused, and said softly in a hoarse voice: "When I was young, did I follow Bai Nan on a bicycle?"

"Remember." The system responded, "Why, you still want to... wait, you mean?"

"Yes, please, use my points to enable the positioning function again." An He said like this, suddenly there was a feeling of bright future.

"Got it." The system responded quickly, and turned on the positioning function as she wished, so as to help An He find Bai Nan's trace.

Soon, An He saw the little red dot symbolizing Bai Nan appear in front of her eyes again.

What surprised both her and the system was that Bai Nan's location was... still in the house.

When he realized this, An He's back suddenly felt cold.

It turned out that Bai Nan didn't go far at all, she actually stayed in the house all the time, just didn't want to see herself.

But why didn't she want to? Didn't she say that she was looking forward to her growing up? Why did she hide when she really waited for her birthday?

Suddenly, a bad premonition suddenly appeared in An He's mind.

That is, as soon as the emotion surged up, An He immediately stood up from the side of the bed, almost sprinting out the door.

Bai Qi has gone back to the house now, there is no one outside, An He closely followed the direction of the little red dot, looking for Bai Nan's figure like crazy.

In the end, she actually came to the basement and stood in front of the room that was supposed to be a small black room.

Ever since Bai Nan said that he would never lock anyone in the small black room again, An He has never been here again. Seeing that it was suddenly transformed into a room similar to a study, An He I was very surprised.

The red dot is flashing in front of my eyes at this moment, which means that Bai Nan is in this room at this time.

An He took a deep breath, her heart beating as densely as a drumbeat.

But even so, she still made up her mind and put her hand on the doorknob, and gently opened the door of the room.

There was light inside, but it wasn't such a bright color, it could even be called dim for An He.

There are many books in the room, neatly arranged, it is a habit that Bai Nan has never given up over the years.

An He looked around the room for a week, but she didn't see Bai Nan's figure, but the cell phone still glowing on the table told her that someone must be hiding in this room.

With nervousness in his heart, An He slowly approached the table, lowered his head and glanced at the phone.

Above... is a text message that hasn't been sent yet.

——An He, happy birthday.

There is such a sentence written on it.

The moment she saw this sentence, An He felt very uncomfortable in her heart. Countless astonishment, touch, anger and bewilderment were all intertwined and filled her heart.

Unprepared, tears flowed out in the next second.

"Damn..." She cursed in a low voice, but when she was about to turn around, she found something cold was pressing against the back of her head.

It feels very familiar, like the touch of the toy gun from a few years ago.

"I'll give you three seconds." Sure enough, Bai Nan's voice sounded behind him, and it was still the same as in memory, "Get out of this room quickly, or I will shoot."

"Go!" An He stood with his back to her, with tears on his eyelashes, "Don't scare me with your toy gun!"

"It's not a toy." She heard Bai Nan say this.

It was at this moment that a gunshot suddenly sounded in my ears, and a bullet flew out of the gun at an extremely fast speed in my field of vision, and plunged into the wall in front of me.

An He took a deep breath, he didn't expect Bai Nan to come to her for real.

"I'm not joking with you, dear." Bai Nan behind him fired the shot, and his voice was still as calm as before, "Leave quickly."

This man is pushing himself.

Holding a broken gun, he forced himself without any mercy.

An He wanted to scold the street.

The doubts in my heart have not been resolved, and the person I haven't seen for a long time is standing behind me at this moment, An He will not leave no matter what.

Even if this person was really crazy and shot himself, at least he died clearly.

Thinking of this, An He made up his mind, and turned around suddenly to face Bai Nan head-on.

Bai Nan probably didn't expect her to turn around suddenly, he was a little surprised for a moment, and reflexively took a few steps back.

An He found that her feet were lame, and the hand that was not holding the gun was actually leaning on a crutch.

Not only that, but An He also found that one of her eyes...was obviously different from the other one. A dark blindfold appeared on her right eye discordantly, adding a touch of weirdness and sadness.

Like... blind.

At this moment, An He suddenly understood why Bai Nan didn't want to meet her.
