It...it actually came back by itself??!
This scene was as if bygone days had come back to life.
Just as if my mom had never thrown away that cheongsam, it had always been hanging in its original spot...
"Mom, Yu Longting is really powerful," after a long while, I cheekily broke the silence.
My mom's expression was a bit stiff, then after a long pause, she pulled me inside the house, "Wanwan, you must be hungry. Mom will cook for you."
"Let me do it instead. You're not well; you should rest more." I pulled my mom to the bedroom to rest, and went to the kitchen to cook.
When the night was deep and silent.
When my mom was almost fast asleep, I stealthily stepped on a stool and took down the cheongsam from the wall.
Capriciously, I cut open my finger and dropped a drop of blood on the cheongsam, with hands devoutly brought together, "Yu Longting, please don't misunderstand, I want to use my own lifespan to save my mom, I hope you can help me."
Suddenly, amidst the quiet night, a few crisp knocks sounded.
Who would be knocking boringly in the middle of the night?
It must be the wind!!
Soon after, a few more knocks followed.
My legs were so weak that I could barely stand, then from the entrance an aged voice came out, "Yin Hour, the fox lights the lamp, an auspicious time for marriage, the bride leaves the house, and the sedan comes to fetch."
What... fox... what about the sedan?
I was so scared that I got goosebumps all over.
Could it be that Su Xiaomin and Second Aunt woke up and were seeking revenge against me and my mom?
"The bride, come out, the sedan is ready," that elderly voice sounded again, this time with a hint of a sinister laugh.
I held the cheongsam tightly in my arms and tiptoed to the door.
Looking through a small hole in the broken wooden door.
I glanced outside. The source of thɪs content is NoveI~Fire.net
Wanting to see who was there, scaring people by knocking on the door in the middle of the night.
What caught my eye was an eerie emerald glow and then I heard chilling cold laughter, "Hehehe, Su Wan, I see you!"
I instinctively took several steps back, holding the cheongsam in my arms even tighter.
The small broken hole in the door, usually inconspicuous, now made it so clear to see everything outside.
A creepy large white face appeared at the hole, staring at me with a pair of emerald-green eyes sneering.
The greenish thing I had just seen seemed to be this guy's eyes.
All I could think of was the white-faced old lady who looked like a fox that I had seen at Su Chongshun's house!
Just then, I heard footsteps behind me.
I shuddered in fear and turned around abruptly, "Who is it?"
"It's me." My mom's voice sounded.
She stood in the nearby living room.
The lights were off; she stood there, only a shadow visible.
My mom looked at the cut on my finger, "Su Wan, you still did it, using your own blood to claim the cheongsam as yours!"
"This isn't the time to talk about this, outside... outside there's an old monster!!" I trembled as I spoke to my mom, "It seems to be that one helping Su Chongshun harm me..."
My mom slowly walked towards me, looking rather eerie, "Oh? Is that so? Su Wan, let me look at your cheongsam?"
"What... why do you want to see the cheongsam?" I asked her, puzzled, as the fox's cries sounded intermittently outside.
Stretching long in the night, very horrifying.
Usually, many snakes would be lurking at the door.
No wild animal would come near...
Could it be... that Yu Longting was really too severely injured, causing the snakes to stay away?
Just when I thought of this, my mom had already walked up to me, gazing intently at me, "Wanwan, I don't want to die, I've decided to wear this cheongsam to prolong my life."
