Only then did I notice that Xu Yang was also nearby. At this moment, Xu Yang was in a terrible mess too. He wiped the sweat off his face and forced a smile.
"Brother, you almost scared us to death. Please never do such a thing again, okay? That guy almost killed us just now. We really thought that woman had done something."
"It's okay. No one laid a hand on me. I just fainted on my own."
I stared blankly at the wall in front of me. I knew exactly what was going on, but I was unable to prevent certain things from happening.
I looked at Yan Yan again. I didn't believe in things like past and present lives. I didn't know what to do at this moment, but one thing was clear: I had to make some changes.
I grabbed Yan Yan's hand and stared into his eyes.
Normally, we would jokingly call Yan Yan an ice - faced guy. Although he always looked cold, he had never seriously blamed someone like this before.
A Bai was stunned by what Yan Yan said. He lowered his head with a hurt look, staring at the back of the person in front of him. I wasn't at all surprised by his dejected expression.
If Yan Yan weren't here now, this guy would definitely turn around and give me a deadly choke.
I wiped the sweat off my head, gave a silly smile, and took step after step back.
Yan Yan helped me up from the bed and looked at me worriedly. "Are you okay?"
I looked around the small hotel and asked, "Where are we now?"
Yan Yan told me that after I fainted, they brought me here. It was said to be a relatively safe place.
Someone beside me said coolly, "If it weren't for you, we would have already reached the tomb. You're such a burden."
After saying that, he turned around and left without giving Yan Yan a chance to refute. I tugged at Yan Yan's sleeve. I really didn't want to admit that I was playing an unpopular role now.
"He's just unhappy."
I sized up Yan Yan's expression. "But you look terrible. Are you okay?"
Yan Yan shook his head and instead looked at me with a worried expression. "You just fainted out of the blue. How do you feel? Do you still have hallucinations?"
I was slightly shocked. How did he know that I sometimes had hallucinations?
I stared into his eyes and frowned. "How do you know?"
I had long noticed that this guy always had a lot of thoughts about my affairs.
"It's nothing."
Yan Yan paused for a moment and then gave a smile. "Just some things happened. You once said that you often had some strange and unpleasant hallucinations. I suspect someone has been using something on you."
"Something?"
I didn't quite understand what he meant by "using".
"You mean?"
I squinted suspiciously. "Someone is targeting me?"
It's impossible. I've only started having hallucinations in the past two days.
If what he said was true, then the only person who has been with me during these two days and this period is Fatty, and Fatty would never do anything to me.
So the only ones left are A Bai and Xu Yang. I squinted and thought for a while, but I decided not to say anything before there was a definite conclusion.
I patted Yan Yan's shoulder, indicating that he might be overthinking.
Yan Yan didn't look happy, but it was obvious that he tried to cheer himself up in front of me.
I didn't really care. I'd face trouble when it came.
"Where are we with that tomb we planned to go to before?"
Previously, in order to avoid those strange pursuers, we decided to go underground, but it seemed that things weren't going smoothly.
Yan Yan took out a map and handed it to me. I took it and looked at it carefully. As I did, my face gradually became troubled.
What was shown on the map was nothing else but a huge bell. We had seen this thing before, but it still gave off a strange feeling.
"This bell looks just like the one we saw before." I finally said it out loud.
Yan Yan nodded. "Yes, I know. But we have to go. The dean is not an easy person. If we can't get what he wants, it's obvious that he won't protect us."
This was quite true. That old fox wouldn't be running an academy if he didn't have some ulterior motives.
I had a headache. I rubbed my head and looked at the person beside me. "What do you think?"
Yan Yan leaned over to my ear and whispered something. I looked at him stiffly, hardly believing it.
"Are you sure you want to be so mean? She's at least your fan."
Yan Yan looked at me with a determined look in his eyes. I immediately shut up. Well, at this time, I shouldn't be ungrateful.
I gave him a thumbs - up and took two steps back awkwardly, silently apologizing in my heart.
Sorry. If I have to choose, I'll naturally choose Yan Yan.
What about Xu Yang? I hesitated for a moment. He had helped me a lot during this period.
"Isn't it a bit too much to just kick someone away after using them?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as I said this, a deathly stare immediately came my way. I shrank my neck and raised my hands.
"Okay, okay. I won't say anything anymore, all right?"
It seemed that Xu Yang had offended Yan Yan. I didn't know what had happened that made Yan Yan dislike him so much.
Yan Yan sneered. "Don't worry about him. Let's just go our own way."
I silently sighed for Xu Yang in my heart. The two of us packed our things. I stuffed my stuff into a big bag and handed it to Yan Yan.
Seeing him pick up the bags effortlessly, I, the weak one, couldn't help but feel envious.
"Hey, what are you two talking about?"
Someone pushed the door open with a bang and stuck their head in, scanning the two of us with their eyes.
"I always feel like you two are talking about something bad behind my back."
Sure enough, Xu Yang was annoyingly sensitive. I pretended to be stupid and shook my head. "What are you talking about? What bad things could we be talking about? Don't judge us with your petty mind."
Xu Yang frowned again and looked around but didn't say anything.
"Better be."
He turned around and left without hesitation.
"They're coming out."
A Bai was sitting in the lobby. There was a bunch of light food on the table. The brightly - made - up landlady was busy taking down orders at the bar.
There were about four or five tables of customers. This small inn, though not big, had a simple and honest charm.
I squinted my eyes and said nothing. Where on earth did they find this place? It was amazing. My nerves, which had been tense due to the pressure, gradually relaxed.
