C43 Thundercloud Temple

Lying on the same bed as Liu Hui, I finally had some support in my heart. In a daze, I fell asleep.

In my dream, I said that I was still on duty at the restaurant, but somehow the door was locked and I was the only one in the entire restaurant.

"Whew."

A cold wind blew, and a ghastly chill hit me again.

Behind me, something seemed to be crawling over. It was extremely fast, and the strange sound was getting closer and closer to me!

"Damn it!"

I kicked at the door a few times and even pulled out the fire axe, trying to break the lock to get out.

However, no matter how hard I tried, the door of the restaurant was like a steel bar that was welded together, and couldn't be shaken at all.

"Su Yue?"

Just when I was sweating profusely from anxiety, a weak female voice came from behind me. The faint voice drilled into my ears.

This was Little Ying's voice!

In a split-second, the goosebumps on my body suddenly bulged, and my hair stood on end.

I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked back with great difficulty.

A bloody face appeared in front of me, accompanied by empty eyes, just inches away from me.

Ah!

My heart trembled as I let out a roar. I immediately turned around and kicked the door!

"Bang, bang, bang!"

I don't know why, but when I used all of my strength to kick at the door, my face somehow became painful.

In the distance, someone seemed to be calling to me:

Su Yue, Su Yue …

After a few seconds, I felt the world spin around me, and everything in front of me turned into a bubble and disappeared into the black hole.

"Hmm?"

With great difficulty, I opened my eyes and found myself lying on the bed. Zhu Qilin was patting my face with an anxious expression.

So it was just a dream.

It was then that I realized I was sweating profusely, even the sheets underneath me were wet.

"You're finally awake."

When Zhu Qilin saw that I had opened my eyes, he let out a long sigh of relief and lightly patted his chest.

"Did you have a nightmare?" After a while, Zhu Qilin picked up a glass of water from the bedside table and handed it to me.

"Right …" I slowly nodded my head. My consciousness wasn't completely awake yet. I felt that my mind was still in a state of chaos.

"Sit up and drink some water." As he spoke, he reached out his hand to pull me up from the bed and said with concern.

I held the glass of water in my hand, still confused.

"I knew you must be having a nightmare." Zhu Qilin's eyes swept across the bedsheets that were already wet beneath me, "Just now, I was still sleeping when I heard you shouting and shouting. Your hand kept hitting the bedsheets."

"I woke you up when I saw something was wrong." As he spoke, he rubbed his eyes.

Only then did I notice that his eyes were slightly red, and that he obviously hadn't slept well.

"I'm sorry brother, I have implicated you." A trace of guilt suddenly arose in my heart as I spoke.

"Nothing." Zhu Qilin shook his head. Then, he seemed to recall something as he chuckled, "Don't tell me you were dreaming about Little Ying again?"

I was suddenly surprised and didn't know what to say.

"So it's like that." Zhu Qilin looked at the stupefied me and a trace of understanding appeared on his face. "She really is constantly pestering you."

"Tomorrow morning we will head to the Thunderchant Temple to find Master Yunyou." Zhu Qilin opened his mouth and said, "I believe he will definitely be able to cure you."

"Yes." I silently nodded my head as I didn't know what to say.

Zhu Qilin, this seemingly unremarkable friend, had given me so much help at such a crucial moment.

If I were to soar to greatness in the future, he would surely be part of it!

I made up my mind.

Then, he picked up the phone beside him and lit up the screen.

3: 52 a.m.

It was still midnight.

The ground outside the window was still in darkness, and the huge curtain of night enveloped everything.

"It's almost 4 o'clock, go take a nap."

I placed the phone on the bedside table, drank the water in my hand, and spoke to the Scarlet Kylin in front of me.

"What about you?"

"I don't want to sleep anymore. I'm going to take a walk around the living room."

I got out of bed, put on my slippers, and headed for the living room.

A moment later, I was in the living room. I looked around at the furniture, then at the photo beside the TV.

In the photo, Zhu Qilin was carrying a girl. He was looking at the camera with an extremely happy expression as he wantonly smiled.

This girl is his sister, I naturally heard Zhu Qilin mention her before. When Zhu Qilin was young, his parents had already divorced. He had grown up with his father.

After almost 20 years, on his way back to his grandma's house, he saw his mother and the little girl in the photo — Lan Lan.

His half-sister.

Surprisingly, although 20 years had diluted the affection between him and his mother, Zhu Qilin did not cut off his affection for Lan Lan. On the contrary, he was more and more concerned about her.

After his mother passed away from illness, Zhu Qilin volunteered to bring Lan Lan back.

However, the heavens were not beautiful, and after living with Zhu Qilin for less than a year, Lan Lan suddenly developed leukemia.

Furthermore, his condition had continued to decline. In less than half a year, he had passed away.

After crying loudly for a while, Zhu Qilin left his original job and left the city that made him sad. He came to this city's restaurant and worked as a waiter.

It was here that we met.

I looked at the photo as I recalled the stories the scarlet qilin had told me.

The Lan Lan in the picture had a sweet smile on her face. She looked somewhat similar to Zhu Qilin.

"Ai!"

I let out a long sigh. I had mixed feelings about what to do.

The matter of him being entangled by Little Ying had not been resolved, and he had no time to worry about Zhu Qilin.

Hopefully, there will be a good result.

Thus, I sat in the living room for more than five hours, until the sun had risen over the horizon. Then I stood up and went to my bedroom to wake the scarlet qilin.

After a while, we hastily packed up, closed the door and went downstairs, heading towards the Xukin's Santana.

"Whap."

With a light sound, the two of us got into the car. Zhu Qilin easily started up Santana, which had been on the road for a few years, and drove along the national road.
