Xiaoxia woke up with a start.

Another nightmare, torturing her again!

She was covered in cold sweat and wanted to lift the quilt and get out of bed to get a glass of water. But she didn't dare to leave the bed, at least the warmth made her feel a little safe. The fluorescent watch on the bedside table showed that the time was two forty. The gleam of the hands of the watch was shaking, and the ticking sound made people feel as if something was approaching the bed.

This made Xiaoxia bury herself deeper in the quilt, and finally she shrank in, unable to hear anything except her own heartbeat.

She shouldn't have rented this small, shady house just for the sake of cheapness. It didn't even get sunlight. It wasn't a big deal before, but after taking on this case recently, she couldn't sleep peacefully. Maybe she should get married or find a boyfriend to live with so she wouldn't be so scared. Although it was just a nightmare, the real feeling was not something a timid person like her could bear.

How about Wanli? But they are so familiar. Thinking about lying on the same bed with such people makes your skin crawl with embarrassment. No, no, I need to find someone else. How about - Ruan Zhan?

Ruan Zhan's name frightened Xiaoxia, even more than a nightmare.

Why do you think of him? She had only met the man a few hours before and had not been impressed. Could it be that because I just saw it, I have residual consciousness? That must be it!

But can he really be a psychic?

Wan Li would not lie to her, but she really didn't realize that he had this ability. Her intuition was always accurate, and there was no reason to be wrong this time. But what if it's wrong? What if he is really psychic? Then he can't help her!

Why didn’t you say a word to him even after you found him?

I am always like this, always give up halfway when encountering problems. If she talks to Ruan Zhan, he can help her if he can channel her. If he can't, she won't lose anything. It's better than having no one to turn to after the nightmare.

She really had no choice. She had already burned incense and worshiped Buddha, but Buddha must be very busy, so he couldn't care about her. She had to think of other ways, otherwise she would have a nervous breakdown, and she would probably die before the case was completed or the director came back to transfer the case.

Otherwise, I will check with Wan Li tomorrow to see if it is a psychological problem. If that doesn't work, try Ruan Zhan again. Although it's not very reliable, at any rate - let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor!

Xiaxia didn’t find Wanli the next day. It even made her think that he was avoiding her, but then she remembered that every Tuesday was the day when Wan Li fulfilled his obligations as a guest professor. So she had no choice but to skip work and go to the Yeguiren bar again.

It was only two o'clock in the afternoon when she arrived, and she saw Ruan Zhan opening the store door from a distance. His skin was a healthy wheat color, not at all the sickly pale color expected of a nocturnal animal.

"Can I go in now?" Xiaoxia asked, standing three meters away from Ruan Zhan.

"I just opened the door, it's not officially open yet - but - okay." Ruan Zhan made a gesture of invitation, frowning almost invisible. He recognized this woman as the stranger who came last night, but why did she come so early today after not saying a word to him yesterday? I just hope she isn't here to pester him or cause trouble.

Xiaoxia walked into the bar, and the store was empty because there was no one there. And because the glass in this store is all art glass, the afternoon sunlight cannot shine inside at all. The entire space is dark. There is a huge trigram-shaped decoration made of transparent pipes on the wall facing the store. She didn't see that last night, probably because of the lighting, but now it was pitch black and she could see it clearly.

It took a long time for Ruan Zhan to follow up, but Xiaoxia did not get nervous and frightened as usual when she was alone in a closed and open space. This made her feel that maybe her judgment yesterday was too hasty and that this man had some skills.

"Where's your buddy?"

"They are work-study college students. If you want to find them, you have to go after four in the afternoon."

"No, I'm not looking for them. But your place seems to close at midnight. Will this affect their studies?" Xiaoxia suddenly stopped, "I'm sorry, I'm asking about this because of my professional habits. It's really Disgusting!" She saw that Ruan Zhan had already walked to the bar, and went there to find a seat. "My surname is Yue, Yue Xiaoxia, a lawyer at Changkong Law Firm."

Ruan Zhan was stunned for a moment. "I'm not in trouble, am I?"

"No, no, that's not the case." Xiaoxia shook her head hurriedly, "That's just my profession, and my coming today has nothing to do with my profession. I am - I am - I'm looking for you, I have something to do. Is that okay? ”

"Of course. But what would you like to drink first, Miss Yue?"

"What do you usually drink at this time?"

“It’s a little early to drink now, most people will drink coffee.”

"I don't like coffee, it's bitter! Give me soda, orange flavor, or mineral water will do too."

Ruan Zhan said nothing, only smiled, and then handed her a glass of orange soda. This woman has the taste of a child and is easy to deal with.

"What do you want from me?" he asked.

"Um - you know that Wanli, right? He said you two are good friends, so - so he asked me to come to you." Xiaoxia hesitated, feeling embarrassed to make a request to a stranger. It was all because Wan Li was so weird that he refused to accompany her, so she had to face these embarrassments alone. Now she had no choice but to tell the truth. "I'm in trouble, and he said you have the 'ability' to help me."

Ruan Zhan knew something was wrong when he heard Wan Li's name. He was in big trouble!

Wan Li has been his friend for many years and is the only person in the world who knows his secrets, but has never revealed anything about him. But this time, even though Wan Li knew better than anyone how much he didn't like to mention his 'power', and even less like to use it, why did he send people to ask for his help? Who is this female lawyer named Yue Xiaoxia from Wanli who can make him betray his oath? Or is there something happening to her that can't be fixed? What does this have to do with the weak Yang Fire in her body?

"I am very happy to be able to help Miss Yue, but I am afraid that I am powerless." Ruan Zhan had countless thoughts in his heart, but he still had a harmless smile on his face, "Why don't you tell me first? If you have any trouble, see if I can help."

Xiao Xia hesitated for a moment, and then told Ruan Zhan all the inexplicable nightmares, weird hallucinations and feelings she had had since taking over the case. She looked at his face, hoping to get some information, but his face was expressionless at all, and his eyes were like deep black pools, as if whatever you threw into it would disappear immediately without leaving any trace.

"Did I go crazy?" she asked.

"Caught evil?" Ruan Zhan smiled in disbelief, "Miss Yue is a lawyer. She should be very calm and logical. She wouldn't believe these nonsense, right? In my opinion, she may be under too much pressure and accept a certain Some passive psychological suggestions. I am not a professional psychiatrist like Wan Li, but I think you should not think too much, stay away from this matter, relax and it will be fine."

"It would be great if I could, but it's a pity that I can't let go now."

"Then - I'm afraid there's nothing I can do." Ruan Zhan said with a regretful tone, "You are Wanli's friend, that is, my friend. I really hope you can do something, but unfortunately I really can't."

"You don't want to help me!" Xiaoxia blurted out.

"No, no, I'm willing, I hope I can! But - I don't know what Wan Li told you, it's probably that he was exaggerating. I usually just read some Feng Shui, Zhou Yi and so on. Books are just hobbies and have no special abilities at all. Don’t listen to his nonsense.”

"Can't you really help?"

"I'm sorry."

"Please help me!" Xiaoxia begged. In fact, with her irritable temper, she should have turned away long ago. What's more, the more she talked to him, the more she intuitively felt that what Wan Li said was right. He must have a way, but he just refused to help. She shouldn't say another word to such an unloving person, but as the saying goes, 'the situation is stronger than ever', she had to be humble.

"I'm sorry."

Seeing that he was still pretending to be innocent, Xiaoxia knew that it was useless to say anything.

"Okay, pretend I've never been here. Goodbye." She walked out angrily, deliberately not giving Ruan Zhan soda money. I thought if I had known if I drank his most expensive bottle of wine, the mental loss could be compensated by the material loss. Thinking about it, I really don’t want this kind of person to give him any blood.

Ruan Zhan watched Xiao Xia leave without any guilt in his heart. This young lady has provoked evil. Whether it can be broken or not is all her luck. What does it have to do with him? His first principle in life is to never care about anyone else's business and just keep to himself quietly.

As for Wan Li, the **** who betrayed his friends, he ignored him. I believe he will come to your door to explain himself.
