In a trance, You Nian felt a little tinnitus.

As her ears buzzed, she seemed to hear a noisy sound, mixed with some sound and sharp screams.

"Pei, Pei Ran!" It was obvious that it was not dark around her, and as long as she passed the two street lights, she could re-enter the light. But at this moment, You Nian was so soft that she stood there and didn't dare to move, and could only hold the lamppost desperately.

"Pei Ran, where are you..."

You Nian never knew that she was so afraid of the darkness. In this quiet and dim environment, she could hardly breathe.

I couldn't help but start shouting Pei Ran's name. Those few sounds seemed to have exhausted all her strength. Then she began to sob, holding the lamppost, she didn't dare to move, and could only bite the back of her hand into her mouth.

It was separated from You Nian by a green belt path, and Pei Ran was also looking for You Nian. He didn't expect that she would never pass the physical education class and could run so fast now. When she followed her trail, she actually lost the person as she searched.

"Niannian?" Pei Ran whispered to her, with anxiety smearing between his eyebrows and eyes.

Just as he was about to call someone to come and look for him, a faint sob came from a distance.

The street lights were dim, and under the layers of dark tree shadows, the crying sounded a little cunning at first. Pei Ran couldn't help but pause, and the crying sound was not very real at a distance. Fortunately, Pei Ran was brave, and he was full of concern for You Nian at this moment, so he walked over without thinking.

At this time, Pei Ran’s location could not directly lead to You Nian’s location, so he had to return to the same path and enter from another path.

I remembered that when they were young, all the little kids liked to play hide-and-seek in their garden. This was the first time Pei Ran was disgusted with why his yard was so big.

"Niannian?" The closer Pei Ran walked, the clearer You Nian's crying sounded.

When he saw her trembling with a light pole in his eyes, he felt angry and funny, and quickly walked over and carried the person into his arms.

You Nian was frightened by the person who suddenly appeared. In just a moment, she knew who was approaching. Her tight body relaxed instantly. She couldn't help but grab Pei Ran's clothes, but her crying continued to increase, and she cried even harder.

"Pei, Pei..." You Nian seemed to want to speak, but she kept sobbing and couldn't say a complete sentence.

Pei Ran hugged her and coaxed her gently. He couldn't hear what You Nian wanted to say, so he could only help her wipe her tears while coaxing her: "Be good, stop crying, am I here?"

Pei Ran's voice was gentler than ever. He was about to ask her what was wrong, but his light caught a glimpse of the dim street light next to him. Compared with the bright lights, this place was a bit too dark.

"Niannian, don't be afraid, nothing happened." I instantly knew what she was crying because of. Pei Ran frowned and looked a little bad.

From when he first met You Nian, he knew that she was a girl who was extremely timid and afraid of the dark. In the past, he didn't understand why she was afraid of the dark, so he just thought that she was timid and charming.

It was not until once that he used her weakness to punish her and scared her to the death that the matter was directly caused by the old man. Under his grandfather's merciless family law, he realized why You Nian was afraid of the darkness.

——She is afraid of the darkness, which comes from her childhood nightmare.

"Hiss..." Pei Ran was caught by You Nian through her clothes. She pinched her clothes with flesh and couldn't help but take a breath, but when she looked down at her, she was completely frightened and pitiful, he couldn't bear to push her away.

"Niannian." He shouted You Nian lightly, and Pei Ran put his hand on the back of her hand.

He wanted to guide her to let go of herself, but You Nian didn't suffocate him, but instead grabbed him tighter. He had no choice but to let her hold her like this, hugged her and took her back a few steps, letting her back against the lamppost.

"Niannian, look up at me." Pei Ran called her in a hoarse voice.

At this time, there was someone behind her who was protected by her. In such a safe environment, You Nian slowly raised her face, with a crowded light of water in her eyes.

Looking at her little face covered with tears, Pei Ran felt both worried and guilty. It has to be said that the reason why You Nian was so afraid of the darkness was that he had half of his "credit" in the later period. At this time, he gently held You Nian's cheek and leaned over and kissed her on her forehead.

"Niannian, I'm sorry..." This is the first time Pei Ran apologized to You Nian in history.

Sliding down along her forehead, Pei Ran landed his lips on her eyes. You Nian closed his eyes as if he was frightened, and another teardrop fell from his eyes. Pei Ran continued to wander along the tears at the corner of her eyes, and finally... kissed her lips gently.

A kiss that was as gentle as a feather, with a fatal teasing. When the two of them pressed each other with thin lips, You Nian was obviously stunned. She felt the sucking and sucking on her lips, and couldn't help but open her lips gently. Pei Ran took the opportunity to invade and tangled her tightly.

"Um--" At this moment, You Nian directly forgot about fear, forgot how dark it is, and forgot that he was still crying.

Opening her eyes slightly, she looked at the man who was so close to her as if she was stupid. Pei Ran was also looking at her at this moment. At close range, his eyes were charming and deep. He held her cheek and pecked her lightly, and Pei Ran evacuated slightly.

"Be good, close your eyes." Little bit of kissing You Nian's lips, Pei Ran's voice almost whispered.

You Nian seemed to be bewitched, and in his low voice, he really closed his eyes. Pei Ran sucked her again as if she was rewarded when he saw it, then held her neck with her palm and leaned back, allowing her to raise her head slightly to bear his kiss.

"Are you still afraid?" Unconsciously, You Nian's hand holding Pei Ran's clothes relaxed a little bit.

Her legs were weak by Pei Ran’s kiss, the water vapor in her eyes was covered by mist, her brain was blank, and she was left with only breathing.

Feeling the softness of the little girl in her arms, Pei Ran wrapped her waist with his arms. He lifted the person up and leaned against him, and helped her to get her hair together.

The fear in his heart was relieved invisibly, and You Nian was no longer afraid at this moment. He hugged Pei Ran in his arms and shook his head gently. She blushed and said in a low voice: "Pe Ran, take me to a place with light."

Pei Ran responded softly and picked up the person.

After what happened just now, neither of them mentioned going to the main house again. You Nian lay on Pei l*qran's shoulder. She thought he was going to take her back, but Pei Ran had not stopped after a while.

A faint fragrance of flowers came from her nose. You Nian was a little surprised. Just as she was about to look up, Pei Ran's voice came from her ears: "Niannian, look up at the front."

When You Nian heard this, she looked up and saw that her eyes were full of red.

"This is..." You Nian was a little shocked. She stared at the huge Xijing Fire Tree in front of her. This tree was as beautiful as the painting she saw in the tea room.

Under the deep blue night sky, the thick branches were filled with dense flowers. They were shining with a light light under the moonlight, and a petal floated down from the sky. You Nian couldn't help but reach out to pick it up. In an instant, she seemed to see a little girl in a white cotton dress. She looked up slightly at the tree, and seemed to have reached out to take the petals.

"Do you like it?" Pei Ran's voice came from his ears, and You Nian's hand couldn't help but tremble, and he held the burning flower in his hand tightly.

"…I like it." She said truthfully.

I just like it, but she always feels that the flowers are blooming too strong and too gorgeous, it always makes people feel dangerous and mysterious.

【Niannian, do you like to burn flowers?】

【dislike】

【Why?】

[Because this flower blooms like you, and I hate you the most.]

I couldn't help but remember the conversation he had with You Nian again. Pei Ran had not changed his words at that time. His Ran was not this "ran", but the burning of the flowers, the burning of everything.

——She doesn’t like Lanhua, she doesn’t like Pei Ran.

Now when Pei Ran heard You Nian say she liked to burn flowers, she couldn't help but observe her expression and found that she was not lying.

"...It's really a little liar." I couldn't help but murmur, Pei Ran put her down from her arms and asked her to see it by herself.

This is the front garden of the main house. The Xijing Fire Tree in front of you is the largest in the garden.

With it as the center, it is surrounded by Xijing Fire Trees. It can directly lead to the garden of the right house at the back. The central fountain leads to the front. Pei Ran and You Nian are now located in a circular stone pavilion built under the Xijing Fire Trees. You can see the swing frame after walking a few steps forward.

In the past, You Nian liked the swing the most. She liked to come and sit for a while during holidays and other things. She often sat here to read books, but most of them would fall asleep as she looked. Once Pei Ran’s friends came to him. When they passed by the garden, they happened to see You Nian who was asleep here.

The wind was not small that day, and the fire in Xijing was full of fire. At that time, You Nian was covered with all her body, and the red color almost surrounded her. If it weren't for her sleeping too heavily, the scene would have been quite beautiful.

[Pei Ran, come out for me, I want to meet You Nian!]

[I know you can hear it, let You Nian out and see me. You are locking her like this. Do you believe it or not? I will report to the police!]

Just as You Nian was squatting on the ground to pick up the complete burning flowers, she faintly heard something.

The caller had a loud voice, but the place where they were was too far away. If it weren't for the quietness of the place, she wouldn't have heard this sound.

"Pei Ran, have you heard any sound?"

At this time, You Nian turned her back to Pei Ran, and did not see what Pei Ran was doing. She squatted on the ground and listened with curiosity. Pei Ran glanced at her and took out her cell phone and quickly sent someone a text message, pretending to be plain, "Sound? What sound?"

"Did you hear anyone talking?"

You Nian didn't think she was hallucinating. When she turned around, Pei Ran happened to put her phone in her pocket. The two of them looked at each other and were calm. Pei Ran looked at her eyes calmly and said: "I didn't hear any sound."

"It's impossible." You Nian took out his ears and listened carefully.

It didn't matter when she heard this. She vaguely heard that the man was calling Pei Ran's name, and couldn't help but stand up from the ground. You Nianxiang walked forward in the sound.

"Where are you going?" Pei Ran's eyes narrowed and he quickly stepped forward to hold her hand.

He looked at the position beside the door and whispered to You Nian: "The street lights over there are also broken and very dark."

You Nian said 'ah' and stopped.

She was scared just now, but her mind was not confused and she became more awake. Although Pei Ran was acting normally, You Nian also felt that her hearing was very normal. She looked at Pei Ran who was holding her wrist tightly. With the blink of an eye, she asked crisply: "Pe Ran, are you lying to me?"

Pei Ran's eyes flashed, and he narrowed his eyes slightly and did not speak.

"I have normal hearing, even I can hear the sounds, I don't believe you haven't heard it!"

Seeing You Nian looking at him with a burning look, Pei Ran looked back at her, and her thin lips curled a faint smile and said, "So what?"

"What do you want to tell me?"

You Nian bit her lips. Seeing that the person in front of her did not show any guilt, she couldn't help but look away and said in a muffled voice: "I heard it clearly. That's a woman, and she was calling your name!"

Pei Ran had no expression on his face, and looked at her without saying a word, without any explanation.

His attitude of fading into the clean water deeply stimulated You Nian. She couldn't help but shake Pei Ran's hand away and said anxiously: "I know that none of you men are good!"

"I just said, why do you marry me if you are rich and powerful? You are watching me because you are afraid that you will treat me as a bun. It is one thing in front of me, and another thing in front of other women!"

“…”

"Pei Ran, tell me honestly who the woman outside is! Why did she call your name at the door of her house at night?" You Nian said so much in one breath, but she was not angry enough.

Pei Ran was stunned by her words. He was still thinking about coping strategies, but his pursed lips and said nothing in You Nian's eyes. She glared at Pei Ran fiercely, then ran to the door.

"Okay, if you don't speak, I'll ask myself!"

You Nian is soft but not necessarily soft, but it does not mean that she will let others bully her. At this time, she was angry and just wanted to figure out what was going on. Before she could run a few steps, she was hugged by the person behind her.

"Let me go—"
