Liang Qi Yue's courage was small to begin with, and the shadow of the last incident hadn't passed yet. Now that she encountered such a thing again, she definitely couldn't bear it any longer.
Hearing the sound from inside, Bai Mu reached out his hand to knock on the door, only to hear a faint rustling sound that seemed to be a blanket covering the room. and the sound of rapid breathing because of fear.
”Qiyue, it's me. Bai Mu is back.” Liang Qi Yue, who was inside, originally felt that there was someone in the room, but when she suddenly heard a knock on the door, she immediately hid under the blanket without thinking, and curled up her body.
There had been a lot of odd knocks on the door these days, and the sound of them from time to time had made her more nervous. And there was also her father, the housekeeper was unwilling to tell her about his condition.
However, he could already guess the condition of his father's body. Otherwise, if something like this happened at home, his father would definitely come looking for him.
Liang Qi Yue used all her strength to tightly wrap herself in the blanket. She hoped that after she became silent, those sounds would disappear just like before.
However, this time, the knocking did not stop. Instead, it became louder and louder.
”Wu wu wu. Bai Mu, where are you? Come back quickly.” Liang Qi Yue cried out in a low voice. She clenched her small fist into a fist and put it next to her mouth. In her other hand, she was holding the broken symbol parchment, and silently chanted that person's name in her heart.
Just as Liang Qi Yue was about to despair, she heard that familiar voice. But after hearing it, Liang Qi Yue only shook her head, thinking in her heart, how could he have come so quickly? He must be hallucinating again!
”Qiyue, open the door! It's me! It's Bai Mu!” The sound of Bai Mu knocking the door became like someone knocking on a door. Liang Qi Yue didn't make a sound, he couldn't see what was going on inside. This would only make him more and more anxious.
”Qiyue, if you don't open the door, I'm going to kick you!” Bai Mu's voice became a bit heavier. As he thought about the tear stains on Liang Qi Yue's baby-faced face, he felt an inexplicable sense of irritation in his heart.
”Bai Mu — —” Liang Qi Yue tried to sound out, and finally heard the response from outside.
”That's me! Bai Mu, open the door!”
”Yes, it's Bai Mu!” Liang Qi Yue quickly took off her blanket and ran to the door with her bare feet. When she saw that familiar face through the peephole, her tears directly fell.
After unlocking the door and seeing Bai Mu standing there with a worried face, Liang Qi Yue couldn't hold it in anymore. Like a child, she threw herself into Bai Mu's arms, and began to cry loudly.
Feeling a heavy weight on her body, Liang Qi Yue threw herself into her arms. Bai Mu reached out his hand and gently patted Liang Qi Yue's shoulder, softly saying, ”Be good, don't cry, I'm back.”
Who would have thought that when Liang Qi Yue heard these words, she cried even louder, as if she was going to shed all her tears these days.
”Wuu … wuu …” ”Bai Mu, you're finally back.” After crying for who knows how long, Liang Qi Yue lifted her head and looked into Bai Mu's eyes. Sometimes she spoke with both grievance and sadness.
”Alright, alright, am I not fine now?” Don't cry anymore. This time, I'll definitely clean up that thing that scared you and vent your anger, okay? ” Bai Mu was like a big brother as he coaxed Liang Qi Yue around. Liang Qi Yue seemed to enjoy it. When she heard these words, a smile blossomed on her face that hadn't appeared before.
”You said it!” Liang Qi Yue's mouth split open as she cried and laughed. She didn't know why, but once she saw Bai Mu, it was as if all the terrifying things in this world had vanished.
”Of course it's me.” Bai Mu tapped Liang Qi Yue's nose, and said with a doting tone as he looked at her as if she were a child, ”Look at you, you haven't slept much these past few days right? Look at you, the dark circles around your eyes have appeared. I think you will become a national treasure in a few days. ”
As he spoke, he gently wiped away the tears on Liang Qi Yue's face.
Second Company's Seventh Moon only curled her lips in dissatisfaction as she said, ”It's all because of you, this bodyguard, failing to fulfill his duty. Otherwise, this young miss wouldn't have been so frightened by those things.”
”Yes, yes, yes, it's my fault! Forgive me, Eldest Miss! ” Bai Mu raised his hands helplessly as though he was about to surrender.
”Pfft ~” Liang Qi Yue covered her mouth and laughed, ”It's your fault anyway.”
Just as he finished speaking, a worried expression surfaced on his face. ”Brother Bai Mu, such a thing happened at home. I don't know what happened to my father.”
Bai Mu helplessly frowned. Every time this little girl had something to ask of him, she would call him Big Brother. But this matter was within his responsibility. Even if Liang Qi Yue hadn't said it, he would still have done it.
”Don't worry about sleeping. Leave your father's matters to me.” As Bai Mu spoke, he pushed Liang Qi Yue into the room.
”But I can't sleep. Every time I fall asleep, I can always hear something crying again. It's so scary, so horrifying!” As Liang Qi Yue spoke, her face revealed a terrified expression. She looked at Bai Mu and begged.
