Closing the door unhurriedly, the relaxation and laziness on Ji Qinghuai's face disappeared instantly. He leaned against the door, clutching his clothes tightly, trying his best to restrain the strange feeling in his body.
Ji Qinghuai knew that this feeling was aroused by the smell of blood just now, the toxins in his body were quietly induced and began to affect his consciousness.
Ji Qinghuai remembered the lessons from the previous few times, he didn't dare to stay by Xie Yan's side anymore, he was afraid that he would hurt Xie Yan by doing something out of control, so he found an excuse and ran back to the room.
Ji Qinghuai also knew in his heart that he could no longer suppress the toxins in his body, and it would only become more and more difficult to control each attack in the future. It's just that telling this kind of thing has no meaning other than worrying the people around him, and it can be hidden for another day Count the day.
In the evening, it started to rain again in the imperial capital which had been sunny for two days. Although the rain was not heavy, it was blown by the wanton cold wind all over the place. By the time Ji Qinghuai remembered that the balcony windows were open, the ground was already wet.
Ji Qinghuai mopped up the water stains on the ground, put the mop aside to dry, looked at the gloomy sky outside, and walked back and said: "Yanyan, let's order takeaway for dinner."
Xie Yan was busy with work, when he heard Ji Qinghuai talking about dinner, he looked at the time, only to find that it was past five o'clock.
"Um."
Ji Qinghuai sat down next to Xie Yan, took his mobile phone and began to choose dishes, he was not hungry, and he didn't have the mind to struggle with the choice, so he found a home-cooked restaurant and chose two dishes at random.
Ji Qinghuai put down the phone, "It's a bit cold, I'll take a shower first."
Speaking of which, Ji Qinghuai stood up, touched the glass inadvertently, and knocked down the glass in his hand. With a "bang", the glass fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
Xie Yan looked down, some glass shards fell at his feet, Ji Qinghuai went to get the broom, and when he turned his head, he saw Xie Yan bending over to pick up the biggest shard.
"Don't touch!"
It's good that Ji Qinghuai didn't make a sound, when he yelled, Xie Yan's hand paused, his index finger brushed against the debris, and was cut open.
Bright red blood flowed out from the wound, slipped from Xie Yan's fair and clean fingertips, and dripped on the broken glass.
Ji Qinghuai took a breath.
Ji Qinghuai walked over quickly, took out a tissue to help Xie Yan wipe off the blood on his hands, frowned slightly and said, "I'll just clean up the debris, don't pick it up with your hands again."
Xie Yan wanted to explain, but seeing Ji Qinghuai caring about him with a serious face, he felt warm in his heart, and changed his explanation to comforting words.
"Small injury, it's not a problem." Xie Yan said, his thumb gently wiped the wound on the index finger, and the slender wound disappeared in an instant.
Ji Qinghuai staggered Xie Yan's gaze, his slightly frowned brows did not relax because of this, he quickly cleaned up the debris on the ground, and then put the broom back to its original place, not daring to look at Xie Yan the whole time.
Ji Qinghuai calmly went back to the room to get his pajamas, and went to the bathroom to take a shower as he said before, but instead of turning on the hot water, he drenched himself in the cold water, hoping to dilute the uncontrollable impulse in his body.
But it doesn't seem to work.
This is how to do…
Ji Qinghuai didn't dare to go out rashly, so he put on his clothes and stayed in the bathroom for a while, propped his hands on the sink, took a deep breath to calm himself down, cold water dripped from the tips of his hair, slid down his shoulders and into his collar inside.
I don't know how long it took, but the weird feeling in his body finally faded away, Ji Qinghuai raised his head, looking at the mirror with blurred vision, he stretched out his hand to open the door in a daze.
Outside the door, Xie Yan happened to pass by, Ji Qinghuai didn't hear the footsteps, and was taken aback by surprise, this fright, Ji Qinghuai's mood that had just calmed down was completely messed up.
Xie Yan saw that Ji Qinghuai's hair was still dripping with water, and there were also water marks on his neck, so he reached out to wipe him off, "Dry your hair first, don't catch a cold..."
As soon as Xie Yan's hand touched Ji Qinghuai, Ji Qinghuai slammed back, "Don't touch me!"
Xie Yan was taken aback.
Ji Qinghuai realized that his tone just now was a bit harsh, and felt sorry for it, so he said slowly: "I want to sleep alone tonight, so I won't eat dinner, don't bother me."
After finishing speaking, Ji Qinghuai ignored Xie Yan's reaction, walked quickly into the nearest room, and locked the door behind him.
Sudden overreaction, inexplicable sleeping in separate rooms, most people's first reaction would probably be to be awkward, but Xie Yan didn't think about that at all, and finally realized something was wrong.
The poison in Ji Qinghuai's body flared up again.
Xie Yan walked over and knocked on the door, "Huaihuai, are you okay?"
Xie Yan waited for a while, but did not wait for Ji Qinghuai's answer. The room was also very quiet, and the people inside did not make any movement.
Xie Yan knocked twice more, but Ji Qinghuai remained silent.
In desperation, Xie Yan took two steps back and kicked the door open.
At the same time, Ji Qinghuai's figure suddenly jumped out of the room, and before Xie Yan had time to react, his wrists were clenched vigorously, and his back hit the cold wall.
Xie Yan was in pain, her brows were slightly frowned, and seeing Ji Qinghuai's state again, Xie Yan was shocked.
Ji Qinghuai's complexion was very bad, his originally clean and clear eyes were bloodshot at the moment, he was staring at Xie Yan, Ji Qinghuai's hand holding Xie Yan trembled slightly, even though he was still struggling at this point.
"Calm down..."
Before Xie Yan could finish speaking, Ji Qinghuai moved his head sideways, and suddenly opened his mouth and bit Xie Yan's neck, his teeth bit the flesh and blood, warm blood flowed out from the wound, and began to be forcibly drawn away.
This feeling was not pleasant, Xie Yan raised her head slightly, her hands tightened unconsciously, clearly feeling the loss of blood.
Outside the window, a storm came unexpectedly, but stopped abruptly. Ji Qinghuai gradually regained consciousness as the wind and rain stopped. He let go of Xie Yan's hand, and slowly let go of Xie Yan.
Xie Yan's body swayed and fell forward uncontrollably.
"Yan Yan!" Ji Qinghuai hurriedly supported Xie Yan, and the two fell to the ground together.
On Xie Yan's neck, blood was still flowing out from the wound, and Xie Yan's face was also a little pale. Ji Qinghuai looked at it with distress and self-blame, and said helplessly: "I'm sorry... I can't control it..."
Xie Yan shook his head, "I'm fine."
Knowing that Xie Yan was comforting him, Ji Qinghuai felt even more uncomfortable, "Why don't you hide..."
With Xie Yan's ability, it is not difficult to break free from Ji Qinghuai, Ji Qinghuai would rather Xie Yan beat him up than let things develop like this.
"Stupid cat." Xie Yan rubbed Ji Qinghuai's hair to comfort him, "You've been tricked."
The moment Ji Qinghuai completely lost control, Xie Yan wanted to understand what was going on.
Thinking about it carefully, Ji Qinghuai's abnormalities should have started in the afternoon today, and it was the first time that he had two attacks in a row in one day.
Ji Qinghuai saw the same thing twice - blood.
Once it was the bloody rat tail, and once it was his.
But why is the good-looking Ji Qinghuai so sensitive to blood? The answer, in that bottle of juice.
What happened at the gate of the community seemed to be an accident, but it was actually premeditated.
The other party first asked Ji Qinghuai to drink the problematic juice in the name of apologizing, and then sent over the bloody rat tail, which silently induced the toxins in Ji Qinghuai's body. If they let it go, one of them will always be hurt, and the ending will depend on Xie Yan's choice.
What a calculation.
Xie Yan sighed softly, "I was careless about what happened today."
How could he have imagined that the key to this incident would be on a bottle of juice, and that rat tail was not just a trigger point, it was also a hint.
If Xie Yan guessed correctly, it was Lin Shuye's tail, and the other party wanted to tell him that Lin Shuye was in his hands.
No wonder Qin Lang and the others couldn't find anyone after searching for so many days. It turned out that it fell into the hands of others.
Speaking of this, the whole thing became clear, Ji Qinghuai punched the ground angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it."
He asked Xie Yan again, "Then what shall we do next?"
"Get up first." Xie Yan asked him helplessly, "Isn't it cold sitting on the ground?"
Ji Qinghuai: "..."
It was only after Xie Yan reminded Ji Qinghuai that they realized that they were still sitting on the ground, and quickly helped Xie Yan up, the two returned to the room, Xie Yan changed her clothes, sat on the bed and continued to analyze with Ji Qinghuai.
"From what happened today, it can be seen that this person knows us very well. The only thing about you being poisoned is your family. I, Xu Luo, know that the possibility of it being spread by these people is extremely small. I prefer my own. It is speculated that they arrested Lin Shuye, and it was Lin Shuye who told them about your poisoning."
Ji Qinghuai asked doubtfully, "They?"
"Yeah." Xie Yan explained: "I should have seen the person pretending to be me. He may be with a fugitive I want to arrest."
"A fugitive?" Ji Qinghuai became more and more confused as he listened.
"My master's former subordinate." Xie Yan said: "Later he betrayed my master and escaped from prison. I have been looking for him."
"Oh..." Ji Qinghuai understood, thought for a moment and said: "Yanyan, we are too passive like this, we must think of some countermeasures."
Xie Yan said: "Since the provocation has reached this point, he will definitely have a plan for the next step. It's just that the enemy is dark and we are clear, and it is impossible to guard against."
Ji Qinghuai hated this kind of behavior of doing things behind the scenes very much. If he came here to find fault and lost, Ji Qinghuai would admit it, so he only dared to secretly plot people.
Ji Qinghuai asked with a bitter face, "Then what should I do?"
He didn't want to be used again, this time it was bloodthirsty, what if the other party wanted him to kill Xie Yan next time.
"Adapt to circumstances."
"Um."
The next step is to start a battle of wits and courage.
In the early days, Xie Yan rarely fell asleep for a while, and didn't wake up until noon. Ji Qinghuai sat on the bed and looked at him eagerly, with an aggrieved expression on his face.
"Yanyan, I made porridge, do you want some?" Ji Qinghuai asked worriedly.
Xie Yan heard a smile on the corner of his mouth, sat up and said, "Then I have to try it."
Ji Qinghuai knew what Xie Yan was laughing at, wasn't it because he cut potatoes into French fries last time, and now Xie Yan is still laughing at him about it.
Ji Qinghuai was a little unconvinced.
Why, it's been so long, can't he make some progress
Humph.
Ji Qinghuai pursed his lips, first went to help Xie Yan serve the porridge to cool down, and when Xie Yan finished washing, he saw a steaming bowl of purple rice porridge on the table.
The porridge cooked by Ji Qinghuai is not only purple rice, he also specially added peanuts, red beans and red dates, all of which have the effect of nourishing blood. Xie Yan tasted it, and it was slightly sweet in the mouth, presumably because rock sugar was added.
Xie Yan drank a bowl slowly, her complexion looked better than last night, and she praised sincerely: "It's not bad."
Ji Qinghuai was so happy in his heart, he didn't know what modesty was, and asked expectantly: "Mr. Xie, do you want another bowl?"
It has been a long time since Xie Yan heard Ji Qinghuai call him Mr. Xie. This title carries all the memories of their meeting and falling in love, and he misses it a bit.
Just as Xie Yan was about to agree, the phone on the table vibrated suddenly, interrupting what he was about to say.
Xie Yan took the phone and looked at the note, Qin Lang.
Qin Lang generally seldom contacted Xie Yan in private, but once contacted, something would definitely happen. Xie Yan had a bad premonition, could something happen again
Xie Yan connected the phone, turned on the speaker, and then Qin Lang's voice came out from the phone, "Xu Luo is missing."
Xu Luo was considered to be Xie Yan's best friend personally, so it was a coincidence that he disappeared at this time.
Xie Yan raised her hand and pressed the center of her eyebrows, "When did you disappear?"
"This morning." Qin Lang said: "The location was in Jiangxing Park. Xu Luo and Xiang Yunfei were attacked together. Xiang Yunfei passed out at the time. When he woke up, he didn't see Xu Luo. He searched all over the place but couldn't find it. People, they reported the case."
sneak attack...
Xie Yan knew who did it.
First Ji Qinghuai, then Xu Luo, are they planning to murder everyone around him
If so, then the next...
"This incident should not be an accident." Xie Yan warned: "Qin Lang, you should pay more attention recently."
Qin Lang responded and hung up the phone.
As soon as this happened, Xie Yan didn't feel like drinking any porridge anymore. He went back to his room and changed his clothes, planning to visit the place where Xu Luo disappeared.
Ji Qinghuai was worried that Xie Yan would go out alone at this time, so he discussed with him, "Let me go with you."
"No." Xie Yan refused, "Remember what I told you, stay at home obediently."
After finishing speaking, Xie Yan put on her shoes and hurried out the door.
Jiangxing Park belongs to the suburbs, because the place is not easy to manage, and some unruly monsters often gather nearby, and it has become commonplace for something to happen every now and then.
Xie Yan came here to see if he could find some clues for reference. Their opponent this time had obviously done enough homework, but they still knew nothing about each other, so they had to quickly find a breakthrough to turn the situation around.
There was an accident in the park in the morning, and no one dared to go in at this time, so the park was very quiet at the moment, Xie Yan found the location of the attack provided by Xiang Yunfei, and found traces of fighting after checking.
Xu Luo is not Xiang Yunfei, even if it is a sneak attack, he will definitely be able to react. This trace should be left when he fought with the opponent.
Xie Yan walked forward step by step along these traces, and his footsteps landed on the bluestone slab, making a slight sound.
It rained last night, and the water on the ground was still wet, and it looked wet everywhere. With a "tick", some water droplets fell into the puddles, breaking the silence that shouldn't exist around.
The wind picked up and blew his slightly long hair from behind Xieyan, and the hem of his clothes fluttered in the wind. Xieyan's expression froze, and when he turned around, a strong force was in front of him.
The two palms touched each other, and the two monster forces collided, but they were equal in strength. The man turned around lightly in the air and landed firmly on the ground, but Xie Yan was shocked and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Stabilizing his figure, Xie Yan suddenly became dizzy, his body had not had time to recover, and the demon power was suddenly activated just now, and his body couldn't bear it.
Xie Yan looked vigilantly at the person with his back turned in front of him. If he guessed correctly, this person should be the one who has been plotting against them secretly for the past two days.
Xie Yan didn't dare to take it lightly, and said lightly, "Who is your honor?"
After asking, a chuckle first came from Xieyan's ear, followed by a smiley greeting, the man slowly turned around.
"Master Shen, long time no see."
Xie Yan's body froze for a moment.
After seeing the other person's appearance clearly, Xie Yan's pupils shrank sharply, his eyes were full of shock.
"boom".
The gold-rimmed glasses fell to the ground, the lenses were shattered, Xie Yan's body fell heavily to the ground, and he passed out immediately.
