Chapter 451 - The Pair of Eyes in Pain (1/2)
Ahhhhhhh!
A long scream that felt chilly to the ear was heard!
Her body was falling, falling fast…
There was no end to the abyss and everywhere was cold and dark.
She couldn’t see a thing.
Not a thing at all.
She could only hear the howling sounds of the wind at her ears, as though there were tens of millions of ghosts screaming and screeching at her bitterly!
It filled the ominous surrounding with despair…
Gradually, Xiang Wan could suddenly see something clearly.
She saw something like a face, a bloody face, for one could not make out the features of that face anymore. It seemed to groan in pain.
The pair of eyes attached to that face seemed especially bright as it kept staring at her; it even seemed like it was crying. As tears rolled down the bleeding face, it felt especially horrendous and painful to look at…
She could see that pair of eyes but unable to see the entire person clearly…
She felt goosebumps and cold sweat all over. She wanted to shout, struggle, and leave this place… but she could do nothing.
Had she arrived in hell or something?
Could this be, what hell look like?
Bai Muchuan, save me!
Bai Muchuan, save me!
Xiang Wan was shouting, but no sound came out of her mouth.
Suddenly, every part of her started to float. She was drifting towards the darkness and getting farther away from that pair of eyes…
That person was moving both arms and screamed loudly.
“Save me… save me… please… save me…”
A grieving cry accompanied that shrill scream. The scene then changed to that of the Annual Awards Ceremony…
The crying person became Du Landuo.
She was pleading, pleading for Xiang Wan to forgive her…
She said she couldn’t take it anymore. Cyberbullying was too terrifying. Everyone’s words seemed like sharp knives that could make her bones tremble in fear and pain…
Xiang Wan wanted to say something but her throat was blocked.
Someone was grabbing her throat…
Thus, she couldn’t shout!
She started to struggle, so much so that she started quivering!
“Beep, beep, beep… beep, beep, beep… beep, beep, beep…”
The monotonous sound of the alarm clock saved Xiang Wan from the mire of nightmares.
“Ah! Huff…” Her eyes were wide-opened now.
It was dawn at that time, and the thick winter fog covered the window pane…
It was a nightmare.
Just a nightmare.
Xiang Wan heaved a relief.
She was in such a deep sleep that her brain felt a little dazed.
She glanced at Bai Muchuan who was sleeping beside her.
His breathing was regular; he was sleeping soundly.
Xiang Wan picked up her mobile phone to turn off the alarm, then she suddenly furrowed her eyebrows at what she saw.
There were many unread message notifications.
Xiang Wan unlocked her screen and the foremost message that appeared in front of her was from Hu Bandao. He sent it about more than an hour ago.
“I’ve never expected that she would take it so hard…”
“Had I known that, when she looked for me yesterday, I would not have ignored her. At least… I wouldn’t be so cold towards her.”
Were all men as hypocritical as him?
When he wanted to be with Du Landuo, he went for it. When he didn’t want to be with her, he just broke up with her via a phone call. Wasn’t it better to talk things over in person clearly?
Xiang Wan was still dizzy while she thought about that, but she could quickly sense something—
Something’s amiss.
What did he mean by “take it so hard”?
In an instant, her sleepy brain awakened until her senses had all invigorated.
“So you’re saying?… What happened?”
Hu Bandao instantly replied, “She’s dead!”
She?
Xiang Wan thought of Du Landuo in her nightmare, and her head felt numb and cold.
She covered herself entirely in the warmth of the quilt and wanted to reply when an arm came over to take her waist.
The arm slowly exerted strength and pulled her over to him.
Xiang Wan looked up and saw that Bai Muchuan was awake.
“Did I wake you up?”
“Why didn’t you sleep longer?” He asked another question in return.
“I…” Xiang Wan moved her lips and held her phone out to him.
Then, Xiang Wan sent a message to Hu Bandao before showing their conversation to Bai Muchuan.
“Are you referring to Du Landuo?”
She wanted to be sure.
He immediately confirmed her question.
“Yes, I really didn’t expect her to be so weak…”
Hu Bandao told her that Du Landuo had committed suicide.
She had leaped from a window on the 18th floor of Dynasty Plaza.
The police summoned him that morning to help with the investigation. He had just came out of the Criminal Investigation Unit when he texted Xiang Wan.
“…”
