C1244 Shadow

Su Xian closed the bedroom door and followed Wen Xi out.

"Do you think of this child as the person from back then?"

"I saw the mole on her collarbone. The position is exactly the same."

Su Xian, who was pushing the person, froze. His handsome face was blurred by the dim light.

"Mo, tell Mom honestly. Is it for revenge?"

"No..."

The word was squeezed out from the gaps between his teeth. Su Xian's fingers, which were hanging by his side, suddenly curled up. Blue veins could be seen all over his joints.

Back then... Ah, back then... What a nightmare...

"No matter what you have experienced, this child is innocent."

Wen Xi's heart tightened and tried to soften her voice, "Mom knows your character too well. Don't torture yourself or others."

"Mom, don't say anymore!"

Su Xian turned around and stood with his back to the side. "It's too late. You go first. I know what I am doing."

Wen Xi opened her mouth and mumbled for a while, but she still did not say anything. She sighed softly and turned around to leave.

It would be great if time could return to the past. She would definitely protect her son and not let the young him suffer such terrible injuries.

But in this world, what if...

"Alright, it's too late now. You should drink the chicken soup earlier and sleep."

The woman combed the hair in front of her forehead. "Mom will go back first."

"Take care." Su Xian waved his hand and closed the door.

"Clang!" There was a crisp sound.

Wen Xi stood in the empty front yard. The cold wind blew gently. Wen Xi sighed and finally turned around to leave helplessly.

Inside the house, Su Xian leaned against the cold door. His eyes, which had always been bright, suddenly became empty. It was as if he was staring straight ahead but also as if he did not have any focus.

The shadow of his childhood...

It was like a swamp. You thought that you would grow up little by little and gradually get rid of it, but you realized that your feet had always been stepping on it.

You even sank deeper and deeper... day after day... Year after year, when exactly could you forget!

The sound coming from the bedroom pulled Su Xian back to reality.

The woman on the bed seemed to be having a hard time sleeping. Her voice was full of tears. "No, no, mom..."

He turned on the crystal chandelier and strode to the bed, holding the crying woman in his arms.

Bi's beautiful curved eyebrows were like a hemp rope at this moment. Her entire body was cold, like a block of ice. Her face was pale and her mouth was continuously mumbling something.

"Bi, wake up -"

"Don't..."

The sound of her voice could be heard. "Mother... don't..."

Mom?

Finally grasping the keyword, Su Xian's mind quickly pondered.

Bi used to follow the human traffickers, but was later rescued back to Inscription Palace. He did not know who her biological parents were...

But looking at her current appearance, it seemed like a nightmare. Was it about the nightmare of her biological mother?

"Bi, Bi -"

Su Xian softened his voice and gently shook the person in his arms.

That pair of dark green eyes finally opened little by little. It carried a hazy drowsiness, as if it had not completely woken up yet. It carried a bit of confusion.

"Did you have a nightmare?"

With watery eyes, Bi tightly grabbed onto the man's sleeves, her entire body could not help but tremble...

Sensing that Su Xian seemed to want to get up and leave, Bi's fingers became more and more forceful. The usual sharp coldness was no longer there, only incomparably fragile.

"Don't leave..."

Stunned, Su Xian could only stop thinking about getting up. "I'll go and get you a cup of water."

"I dreamed that my mother..."

It was as if she was reminiscing, as if she was talking to herself. Bi's voice carried a sobbing tone.

"I can't see her face clearly, but those ten fingers have been fiercely pinching my neck..."

Then, she shouted, Dirty thing...

For some reason, ever since they stepped onto this piece of land in A City, it was a never-ending nightmare.

In the dream, it was always the woman who could only see her chin and lipstick. Every time, she had to strangle herself!

It was rare for this girl to be so obedient...

It was very obvious that the reliance of a woman on Third Young Master made him unable to stop the corners of his mouth from rising. "It's just a dream."

"Alright, go to sleep. I'll accompany you - -"

After saying that, Su Xian turned off the chandelier in the room and hugged the woman in his arms. His voice was gentle. "Go to sleep."

Not knowing if it was because Su Xian's comforting had worked, Bi closed her eyes again and very quickly fell asleep. It was calm and peaceful.

However, Su Xian did not think that he had fallen into a terrifying dream.

That terrifying nightmare that was buried deep in his heart and he was never willing to mention.

The deep alley was straight and long, like a blanket that had been spread out. Standing there, he could not see the end of it.

The rainwater in the sky dripped onto the ground, causing the road to be muddy and damp...

Probably because of the rain, there was no one in this area.

Suddenly, a small figure walked over, holding a black umbrella in his hand and carrying Ultraman's small schoolbag.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Su Xian when he was young. His lips were white, teeth red, and he wore a jade carving. He wore a vest and black pants, and he wore a bow tie. He looked very pleasing to the eyes.

One. A woman walked out of the alley slowly. She had long black hair, messy clothes, and tears at the corners of her eyes.

Her pair of high heels stepped on the ground. Pata pata pata. It seemed strange in the quiet space.

Little Su Xian just happened to pass by this alley. When he turned around, it was a busy street.

But this auntie, she looks so strange. Furthermore, why is she crying? Did she encounter something that hurt her heart?

The woman wearing a red knitted dress is walking in a daze. When she sees the child standing by the side of the road, she slowly looks over from the corner of her eye.

Little Su Xian bit his lips and hesitated for a long time before he slowly opened his mouth.

"Auntie, have you met with a sad matter?"

The black high heels suddenly stopped. The woman frowned and then slowly smiled.

That smile carried an indescribable strangeness. "What? Little friend, do you want to comfort me?"

Little Su Xian was short and short, but he raised his head seriously. "Auntie, our teacher said something sad. When we go back to sleep, we will forget it."

"Huh, then, what if it is very sad?"

Very sad, very sad, just how sad would it be...

Little Su Xian had no idea...

A cold and slow female voice drifted in the air, carrying a sinister smile. "It's enough, to become a shadow of your life..."

Su Xian's body trembled. He suddenly woke up with a start, and his entire body was covered in cold sweat.
