Views:

"Alas!" Xiaoya sat down with a long sigh as soon as she got home, throwing her schoolbag to the sofa aside, with an unhappy look on her face.

"What happened? You look unhappy." Sister Lan heard the sound and walked out of the kitchen with wet hands and asked.

"What else can happen? It's not because of Jing!" Xiaoya picked up the remote control and turned on the TV, constantly changing the radio station.

"Have you met Jing'er?" Sister Lan heard that Jing'er didn't seem to have been to school these days, but when Xiaoya said this today, she thought Jing'er had gone to school!

"It would be great to meet her. She doesn't know what happened. She has never been to school, and no one has come to school to ask for leave for her. It's really strange." Xiaoya concealed her doubts, because according to reports As far as she knew, except for the last time she was sick and hospitalized, Jing'er never came to school for several days, and there was no news at all.

"It's really strange to say that. Even if she can't come because of something, at least her father should go to school and say something!" Sister Lan also felt that something was wrong.

"Yes, yes, she seems to have disappeared now!" Xiaoya watched it from beginning to end, but she couldn't find a good program. Maybe it was just her bad mood that affected the attraction of the program.

"Disappear, what disappeared?" Xiaoyu, who had just entered the door, only heard these two words from a distance.

"Brother, you are finally back!" Xiaoya said looking at Xiaoyu standing in front of her.

"I just went camping for three or four days, and you miss me so much?" Xiaoyu smiled and said hello to Sister Lan, then sat down opposite Xiaoya and joked.

"Who misses you! I'm just waiting for you to come back and want you to take me to a place." Xiaoya replied with a pouted mouth.

"Okay, I will listen to Miss Xiaoya's instructions." Xiaoyu always likes to tease his sister like this.

"Brother, stop playing. I'm almost dying." Xiaoya was not in the mood to continue playing with her brother like this today.

"So there is something that makes Xiaoya so anxious!" Xiaoyu knows that Xiaoya is a guy who can eat, sleep and laugh even if the sky falls. He really didn't know that she would still be so anxious. It's rare to see her!

"I'm anxious? If I told you what happened, who would be more anxious?" Xiaoya suddenly changed the subject and took the initiative.

"Did something happen to Jing'er again?" Xiaoyu's face suddenly became serious. Since the last time Xiaoya came back and told him that Jing came to school, she also said that the man named Sinmo was not her boyfriend. , he happily went on an independent camping trip for college students with Xu Qing and Xu Xing. But after listening to Xiaoya's words just now, it was clear that she was referring to Jing'er, and it was not a good thing, so her heart suddenly became disparate.

"See? I knew you would be more anxious than me." Xiaoya became proud.

"Xiaoya, tell me quickly, what happened to Jing'er?" Xiaoyu didn't care about Xiaoya's jokes. What he cared about now was just Jing'er. What happened to Jing'er? Is she sick again? Said he was very sick.

"I don't know what happened to her. If I knew, there would be no need to be so troubled." Xiaoya also replied seriously, knowing that now is not the time to joke.

"Then what's going on, Xiaoya, please tell me clearly!" Xiaoyu became more and more worried. Although he had been camping out these days, he lived a fulfilling life every day and was very tired from playing, but every time he came to In the dead of night, when you are lying alone on the quilt, you will inevitably think of Jing'er, this girl who is like a sister but is not a sister.

"Actually, it's very simple. Jing'er has not come to school since that day, that is, the day after you went camping, and I heard that she has never asked for leave from the school. Maybe something happened. If she can't come to school, maybe it's nothing, we're just worrying about it." Xiaoya said these two possibilities, but she obviously believed in the former possibility.

"You mean Jing'er disappeared?" It seems that Xiaoyu also believes in the first possibility, which is that Jing'er does not want to come to school, but is unable to come due to some unknown reasons.

"I think so too, that's why I'm anxiously waiting for you to come back. When you come back, we can go and see what happened to Jing'er." Xiaoya said and already stood up.

"Okay, let's go now." Xiaoyu said and stood up to go out. But at this moment, Sister Lan stopped them and asked, "Aren't you going to have dinner?"

"We'll eat when we get back!" the brother and sister replied, already out the door and getting in the car.

"These children are always in such a hurry. I really don't know when they will learn to be steady." For a while, Sister Lan was the only one left in the room, sighing.

"Brother, I have a question to ask you. I wonder if you are willing to answer me honestly." Xiaoya suddenly said in the car.

"What's the problem? It's so serious!" Xiaoya used this elder-to-junior tone. This was the first time she spoke to him.

"Do you like Jing?" Xiaoya asked seriously, and then said, "You have to answer me honestly, otherwise I don't know how to help you."

Xiaoyu did not answer Xiaoya's question immediately, but was just deep in thought. His thoughts were spinning just like the car he was driving at this time, as fast as lightning.

"I don't know either! I've never liked a girl, so I don't know what it feels like to like someone else. And whether my feelings for Jing'er now count as liking her," Xiaoyu answered. Very honest.

"Then tell me how you feel about Jing. Let me, a love expert, analyze it." Xiaoya looked like a professional researcher.

"How it feels! I can't explain it. Jing'er is a bit like my sister, but also a bit different. But I often think of her, whether it's when I'm sleeping or awake. I feel a little confused when I can't see her. I was worried that something might happen to her or get sick; but when I saw her, I felt at ease." Xiaoyu talked about this feeling in detail, which has been with him these past few days.

"Isn't this very clear? Brother, you must have fallen in love with Jing!" Xiaoya confidently concluded that this was the case.

"But it's the same for you and me! That's why I said, I don't know if I see Jing'er as my sister? Or as my girlfriend?" Xiaoyu was indeed confused.

"But don't forget one thing, that is: you treat me like that because I am your sister, but why do you treat her like that? She is not your sister who has depended on each other and grown up together!" Xiaoya was very happy. It's rare that someone can say something so philosophical and logical.

"So that's it. Thank you Xiaoya. If it weren't for you, I don't think I would have figured it out so quickly." Xiaoyu is also sure that the indescribable feeling he feels for Jing'er is love, and that is what a man feels for Jing'er. The purest and most primitive feeling of a woman. At this moment, they had already entered the lush ancient road, and the towering ancient trees on both sides looked so mysterious in the moonlight.

"Brother, this trail always gives me a strange feeling." Xiaoya said looking at the ancient trail outside the car window.

"Me too, I always feel like there's something wrong with it, but I can't tell." Xiaoyu also looked at the ancient tree and said. The only thing he could say was that this was a trail that he had never seen before. It didn't mean that he had been to too few places, but that this trail was not something that could be seen in the outside world, right! It's this feeling that this trail does not belong to the outside world, but only belongs to this place, this place called Jinger's home.

"We're here!" Suddenly Xiaoya shouted, because she had already seen the castle not far away. The car stopped, and they got out of the car and looked at the entire castle. It was majestic and spectacular. The white roses in the courtyard spread their fragrance in the moonlight. The intoxicating fragrance made people feel relaxed and happy.

"What a beautiful place!" Xiaoya sighed as she looked at everything in front of her.

"Yes! The castle is more beautiful at night." Xiaoyu completely agrees with Xiaoya's view, because this is a fact that cannot be underestimated. The dark and majestic old castle, the arched courtyard door covered with verdigris that turns a little black, and the roses with white flowers wrapped around the courtyard railings, this is a rare scenery in the world, like mist and illusion, and it is so beautiful.

"It's just like the kind of place where vampires often describe in novels. There are only white roses and some unknown ancient trees. The courtyard door is never closed. There is no light in the castle, because vampires live in the dark night. You can see everything clearly, so they never light up the lights." Xiaoya said looking at the open courtyard door, the white roses, some ancient trees outside the courtyard, and the dark ancient castle.

"It's just a resemblance. Usually there will be lights when Jing'er is at home. Don't make it so scary." Xiaoyu explained. In fact, he knew very well that this castle was the real existence often described in those novels. In order not to let Xiaoya I'm scared so I can only say this.

"I'm just talking! I'm not a three-year-old child, and I still believe the nonsense in those novels, saying that there are monsters in the dark that feed on human blood." Xiaoya said with a look on her face. He looks so mature, as if he has grown up if he doesn't believe this.

"It turns out that my little sister has grown up!" Xiaoyu praised. Although he knew that the truth was not as Xiaoya said, those monsters just existed in the book, but in order to protect his sister from any harm, he never told her those facts and true images. Of course Including the fact that he and his father are both vampire hunters. He just wants her to live such a carefree life.

"But based on what you said just now, doesn't it mean that Jing must not be at home now?" Xiaoya said suddenly.

"Maybe, but maybe she is in her room now, so she can't see the light from outside." Xiaoyu thought for a while and said.

"Oh! Then let's go in and take a look!" Xiaoya said, walking quickly into the yard and heading straight to the castle gate.

"Brother, the lights are on!" Xiaoya stood at the door and said in surprise, because just when she walked to the door and was about to push the door in, the lights in the hall suddenly turned on, revealing a ray of light.

"Yes! It seems that Jing'er is at home." Xiaoyu said happily, because if Jing'er is at home, it means that nothing happened to her and everything is fine. However, in this case, he can rest assured.

"Jing, why don't you come to school?" Xiaoya opened the door and shouted in without even thinking about it. But what she saw in front of her made her completely dumbfounded, and Xiaoyu, who followed her in, was also stunned, because he did not expect to see her again here - Jing'er's home.

"Who are you and why are you at Jing's house?" Xiaoya asked first.

"Who am I and why am I telling you this little girl! Hahaha!" She was wearing a black strapless lace dress and sitting on the sofa in the hall. Apart from her annoying laughter, she still looked like a lady. temperament.

"Lisa! Why are you here again?" Xiaoyu looked at her calmly and asked.

"Lisa? Brother, do you know her?" Xiaoya turned to look at Xiaoyu and asked.

"I've met him twice, so I think we know him!" Xiaoyu replied.

"Actually, we are already very familiar with each other, aren't we?" Lisa asked with an evil smile.

"Very familiar? Are we that familiar?" Xiaoyu walked to the sofa and sat down, facing Lisa and asked.

"Did Luvian not tell you anything about me?" Lisa didn't believe this, because she knew that Luvian was not the kind of person who would keep any secrets for her.

"Jing'er only told you what your name was, where you were from, and that you weren't a bad person. She said she didn't remember the rest." Xiaoyu answered honestly.

"What? Don't remember? This is too much! After all, the encounter between me and her was so bizarre, how could I not remember it?" Luvian would always say something that made her almost angry to death.

"Brother, is she Jing's friend?" Xiaoya interjected and asked, sitting next to Xiaoyu.

"Jing'er said they just knew each other!" Xiaoyu replied.

"What, she said we just know each other, this damn Luvian, don't let me see her, or I will make her look good!" Lisa swore.

"You are always luvian, luvian, who is luvian?" Xiaoya has wanted to ask this for a long time, but has been unable to get a word in.

"This is the name Jing'er used before she was adopted." Xiaoyu told Xiaoya.

"I didn't expect that she actually had such a name!" Xiaoya always thought that Jing was her real name, but it turned out that was not the case, so she was a little surprised.

"There are so many things you can't think of? Hahaha!" Lisa laughed again. I don't know what she could be proud of. Wasn't it just that she had known Luvian for a few years

"What else?" Xiaoya wanted to know this. Although she and Jing are good friends, she has never been able to figure out what kind of person Jing is, so she is particularly interested in everything about Jing.

"This? I can't tell you, otherwise I'm afraid Luvian will eat me!" Lisa pretended to be mysterious. In fact, she did feel a little guilty. After she saw the scene in the store that night, she became more and more worried. I don't understand luvian, and I am more and more afraid of luvian. The fear caused by the unknown is so powerful.

"Then I'll go directly to ask Jing!" After saying that, Xiaoya was about to get up and go upstairs to ask Jing for a clear explanation.

"No need to go, she's not here at all!" Lisa clearly saw her intention, so she stopped her.

"What? She's not here! Then where is she?" Xiaoyu asked before Xiaoya could speak.

"Where is she? How do I know? If I knew, would I have to wait here like a fool for two whole days?" Speaking of this, Lisa became very angry because of what happened that night. Her doubts were difficult to resolve, she couldn't sleep, and she couldn't eat well, so she planned to ask for details, but Luvian wasn't here, but she thought that Luvian's home was here and he would come back sooner or later, so she kept waiting here, but she didn't expect that Yes, after waiting for two days, I didn't see her shadow, and then I waited for Xiaoyu and the others.

"You mean, she hasn't come back these days?" Xiaoyu's heart beat rapidly. Something must have happened to Jing'er. This bad thought kept tormenting every fiber of his being.

"Yes! You came here to find her, too! It seems like you came here in vain!" Lisa sighed helplessly.

"Then Jing really disappeared!" Xiaoya suddenly said loudly while standing. The other two people present were also silent, because they didn't know what to say. Now it was obvious that Jing suddenly disappeared, and she couldn't be found in the most likely place. She really would disappear. Yet? (To be continued)
