C5 The Mysterious Two-story Building
Mo Xiaoxie lowered her head to look at the ground and saw that there were a lot of messy toys on the ground. There were wooden horses, toy cars, and some scattered blocks of wood.
Mo Xiaoxie followed the toys and walked all the way to the stairs.
A sound suddenly came from the second floor and Mo Xiaoxie subconsciously took a step back. She opened her eyes wide and stared at the dark second floor.
Mo Xiaoxie comforted herself and patted her chest to calm her down. She did not know where she got the courage and took another step towards the stairs.
The wooden staircase made squeaking sounds as it was stepped on. Every time it made a sound, Mo Xiaoxie's heart would tighten.
She walked step by step to the second floor. The room was dark and Mo Xiaoxie could not see anything clearly. She fumbled around the wall and found the switch. Suddenly, another sound appeared, scaring Mo Xiaoxie so much that she immediately turned on the light.
She widened her eyes and stared in the direction of the sound.
So it was a picture on the wall.
Due to time constraints, the nails on the wall became very crisp. It endured the ravaging of the strong wind every day, and finally broke because it couldn't withstand the photo.
Mo Xiaoxie walked closer and picked up the photo on the ground. She used her hand to wipe the dust off the photo. Only then did she see clearly what was on the photo.
In the photo was a mother carrying a child. The mother's face was kind, and the child was very happy.
The photo in Mo Xiaoxie's hand. This mother was very young and looked to be in her twenties or thirties. The child was naturally very young too. Looking at his chubby face, the corner of Mo Xiaoxie's mouth actually lifted and she smiled.
Mo Xiaoxie lifted her head and looked at the wall. The entire wall was covered with photos. She looked carefully and these photos were arranged according to the child's age.
Mo Xiaoxie looked at the pictures one by one. This child was constantly changing. He had grown from a baby to four or five years old. She fixed her eyes on him. Why did this child look so familiar?
Mo Xiaoxie was entranced. She did not think of who this child was. Footsteps came from downstairs!
These footsteps were sometimes rushed, sometimes slow, sometimes calm, and occasionally impatient. It was as if someone was looking for something.
Mo Xiaoxie did not think about anything. She immediately put down the photo and looked for a place to hide. She anxiously looked around. Only the closet could be used to hide!
She quickly went into the closet and closed the closet door. Mo Xiaoxie looked outside through the small gap.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer.
Step by step, the footsteps seemed to be on Mo Xiaoxie's heartstrings. She subconsciously held her breath and lowered her breathing to the minimum.
Mo Xiaoxie saw a figure pass by and her heart jumped to her throat!
She thought, Who would come here in the middle of the night for nothing? Could it be a thief? Impossible! No one had lived in this dilapidated building for many years. Even if it was a thief, he would not take a fancy to this place!
If it wasn't a thief, then who was it? Mo Xiaoxie thought of something terrifying! It was so late in the night, could it be that she had seen a ghost?
Just as she thought of a "ghost," the closet door suddenly opened!
Mo Xiaoxie shouted loudly and released the fear in her heart!
"Why are you here?"
A familiar voice entered Mo Xiaoxie's ears. She immediately calmed down and looked up at Xi Nan in front of her.
Mo Xiaoxie seemed to have seen her savior. Her smile was bright. Just as she was about to explain, she realized that the way Xi Nan looked at her was not right.
That cold gaze seemed to want to pierce through Mo Xiaoxie!
Mo Xiaoxie did not know what had happened. She stared blankly at Xi Nan. Xi Nan's eyes were dark and cold. Mo Xiaoxie felt that if she stared at him for a long time, she would shiver.
"Come out!" Xi Nan pulled Mo Xiaoxie out. He used a lot of strength and his eyes were fierce.
Mo Xiaoxie was shocked and confused. Xi Nan really lost his temper for no reason.
Mo Xiaoxie wanted to pull out the wrist that Xi Nan had grabbed, but his strength was so great that Mo Xiaoxie could not do it at all.
"Let go! You're hurting me!" Mo Xiaoxie struggled.
Xi Nan did not have the slightest intention of letting go of her. The more Mo Xiaoxie struggled, the more strength he had. In the end, Mo Xiaoxie could not stand the pain and gave up struggling.
"Are you sick? Why are you so angry for no reason!"
"Am I crazy? Why don't you take a look at who you are? What qualifications do you have to enter this room! "
When Mo Xiaoxie heard these words, her brows tightly furrowed. She did not have the right? These words were a little too much!
"Xi Nan, your words are too much! Why can't I come in? Could this be your home? "
" Nonsense! Come back with me!" Xi Nan's tone was not negotiable. He ignored Mo Xiaoxie's struggle and noise and brought her back to the villa.
Once they entered the villa, Xi Nan dragged Mo Xiaoxie straight to the bedroom. The servant saw Xi Nan's angry look and did not dare to approach. She also did not dare to go forward and ask what was going on.
Xi Nan kicked open the bedroom door and threw Mo Xiaoxie onto the bed. Mo Xiaoxie immediately got up. She rubbed her sore wrist and straightened her body. She looked up at Xi Nan and said, "You crazy person!"
"Whatever you say! Mo Xiaoxie, let me tell you, without my permission, you will not be able to walk out of this door!"
After saying that, Xi Nan closed the bedroom door and locked it.
Mo Xiaoxie was confused and could not understand the situation. She also did not know why Xi Nan went crazy for no reason. Now that she was locked by him again, Mo Xiaoxie was furious!
She did not show any weakness. She was not willing to sit and wait for death. What right did Xi Nan have to lock her up?
Mo Xiaoxie used her hands to slam the door and kicked it with her feet. But this door was too strong! No matter what, it did not move at all! Mo Xiaoxie vented all her anger on the door. But the result was that her hands and feet hurt.
"Xi Nan! You madman! Let me out!" Mo Xiaoxie did not care about her image, nor did she care whether Xi Nan would get angry or not. She shouted and scolded at the top of her lungs.
"Xi Nan! If you have the ability to lock me up, if you don't have the ability to let me out, what kind of man are you?!" Mo Xiaoxie's voice became even louder.
When the servant heard Mo Xiaoxie's shout, she also did not know what happened. Just now, they were still getting along well. Why did it seem like they had a deep grudge in the blink of an eye?
However, without Xi Nan's permission, the servant did not dare to let Mo Xiaoxie out.
Xi Nan was in the study room. He heard Mo Xiaoxie's noise and did not have the mood to work. He threw down the pen and walked very quickly to the bedroom door.
"Have you shouted enough?"
"No! Let me out!"
"Impossible, just stay here. Even if you shout until your throat breaks, I won't let you out! What you should do now is face the wall and reflect on your mistakes! "
As soon as he finished speaking, Xi Nan left. Mo Xiaoxie heard Xi Nan's footsteps as he left, and she was especially angry!
She faintly heard the conversation between Xi Nan and the servant.
"You have her under your watch. Don't let her play any tricks. "
"Yes, young master. "
Mo Xiaoxie was tired from shouting and did not have any strength left. She sat on the bed and smiled bitterly, speechless.
"You want me to face the wall and reflect on my mistakes? I don't even know what I did to make you so angry, and you didn't tell me! You really are a strange person! "
Mo Xiaoxie nagged and nagged as she vented her anger. As she spoke, she rolled her eyes at the door, as if that door was Xi Nan.
Mo Xiaoxie was tired of venting, so she laid on the bed. Her posture was flamboyant, and she let herself loose.
She looked at her watch. It was already eleven o'clock.
