Chapter 210: sleepwalking
Chapter 210 Sleepwalking
Never cry, laugh, or speak.
Look dull and dull, like a walking dead without a soul.
He was really worried that Yoyo's illness would recur.
Mo Shenbai's dark eyes glanced at the girl in the side hall with concern. At this moment, her head seemed to be covered by a large dark cloud, and it was raining heavily.
I don’t know when the dark clouds will dissipate and the heavy rain will stop, so that there will be a smile like the sun on the delicate face.
"With me here, she won't go back to the way it was before." He didn't allow it.
Xu Jialu took a deep breath and changed the subject, "Can you leave the Lin family to me?"
Although Mo Shenbai is now Youyou's husband, it's natural to help Youyou out of anger, but this is the Xu family's business after all. As the eldest son of the Xu family, it seems that he is very incompetent to let Mo Shenbai, who is half an outsider, do this.
Mo Shenbai did not hesitate, and readily agreed, "I will greet the project department. If you need anything, just go to them."
Because of the situation of Xu Lin's family, he has not moved the Lin family, so it is better for Xu Jialu to do it himself.
"For my sister's sake, I won't be polite to you." Xu Jialu smoked another cigarette vigorously.
Mo Shenbai pulled his lower lip, as if he had been polite to him before.
…
Ms. Xu's funeral was arranged for the next morning. She would go to the crematorium to be cremated before being buried.
In the evening, Mo Shenbai still didn't go back to Lanyueju, but stayed at Xu's house.
There is a custom in Mocheng that a married daughter cannot have **** with her husband when she returns to her natal home, which will affect the luck of the son.
Although Xu Jianshu and Cheng Ying were somewhat superstitious, they didn't pay much attention to this feudal vice, and arranged for Mo Shenbai and Xu Youyou to share a room.
One, they are legal couples sleeping in the same room as a matter of course, and the other is not at ease, as there is someone who will accompany them at night.
In the evening Xu Jialu kept vigil for the old lady and told them to go back to their rooms to rest.
Mo Shenbai helped Xu Youyou dry her wet hair, covered her quilt again, pressed her cold face against her lips, "Go to sleep."
I will get up early tomorrow morning to send the old lady off for the last time.
Xu Youyou closed her eyes. Just as Mo Shenbai was about to get up, she immediately opened her eyes, staring at him with clear and quiet eyes.
Mo Shenbai sat down again, held her hand, "Go to sleep, I will accompany you, I will go down to see your brother after you fall asleep."
It stands to reason that Xu Youyou should also keep vigil for the old lady, but in her current situation, no one will allow it.
If she can't, then he will guard for her.
The old lady loves her, so I won't blame her.
Xu Youyou slowly closed her eyes, Mo Shenbai adjusted the light of the floor lamp to the darkest, the light in the room dimmed instantly, a faint light fell on her face, the thick eyelashes quietly covered her eyes, scarlet His lips were pursed tightly, and so were his brows.
Mo Shenbai reached out his hand to rub away her frowning brows, but stopped when his fingertips were millimeters away from the center of her brows.
After hesitating for a long time, she still retracted her fingertips, unable to bear to disturb her silent grief.
Late at night, Xu Youyou finally fell asleep, breathing evenly.
Mo Shenbai put her hands back under the quilt, tiptoed up, and just walked a few steps towards the door when she heard movement.
Turning around, I saw Xu Youyou sitting up suddenly.
"Yo Yo?" Mo Shenbai turned back, "Did I wake you up?"
Xu Youyou's eyes were dull and unfocused, she lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and walked towards the door.
A trace of suspicion flashed across Mo Shenbai's eyes, and he didn't speak any more, but walked up to her quickly, blocking her direction.
Staring at her sluggish appearance with well-understood eyes, he stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her...
Xu Youyou didn't react at all, not even blinking her eyes.
After being blocked by him, he stood there for a minute, then turned around and went back to the bed to lie down.
Before Mo Shenbai could breathe a sigh of relief, Xu Youyou sat up again, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and started walking towards the door.
Repeat what you just did.
Mo Shenbai's breath was stagnant, and he finally understood what was going on.
She was—sleepwalking.
Xu Youyou went to the door and opened it, and walked down the spiral staircase.
Mo Shenbai followed behind her almost every step of the way, her eyes fell on her feet, as if she was stepping on the apex of her heart with every step she took.
Xu Jialu, who was on guard at the mourning hall, heard footsteps, looked up and saw Xu Youyou coming down, immediately put down the paper money in his hand, got up and said, "Why aren't you asleep yet? I'll just keep watch tonight, hurry up..."
Before he finished speaking, Mo Shenbai immediately made a "shh" gesture.
Xu Jialu's voice stopped abruptly, and he looked at Mo Shenbai with question marks all over his face.
Mo Shenbai just shook his head without explaining anything.
Xu Youyou went downstairs to the kitchen, took out an apple from the refrigerator, and then walked to the knife.
Mo Shenbai realized what she was going to do, and immediately took the knife away.
Xu Youyou couldn't find the knife, so she turned around and went back to the refrigerator, put the apples in, and closed the door.
Open the refrigerator door and take out an apple.
"What's going on?" Xu Jialu's face was gloomy, and he asked Mo Shenbai in a low voice, "Yoyo, have you been bewitched?"
Mo deeply frowned, and two words overflowed from his thin lips: "Sleepwalking."
Xu Jialu gasped, no wonder Yoyo couldn't see himself the whole time.
Mo Shenbai looked at him, "Go and peel an apple and put it in the refrigerator."
Xu Jialu frowned, "I don't know."
Mo Shenbai's black eyes were full of doubts and looked at him with a bit of disgust.
"Why do my elders eat apples and peel them?" Xu Jialu said confidently.
Mo Shenbai put the knife in his arms, turned around and went to the refrigerator to take out an apple, walked to the trash can and quickly began to peel it.
Xu Youyou is still repeating the process of putting apples in the refrigerator, taking them out again, and looking for knives.
Xu Jialu was holding the knife, staring at Xu Youyou with her phoenix eyes, and suddenly her nose became sore...
Mo Shenbai didn't worry about peeling apples, so he glanced at Xu Youyou from time to time, for fear that she would hurt him.
"Have you ever sleepwalked before?"
Xu Jialu came back to his senses and shook his head.
Never have.
Mo Shenbai put the peeled apples into the apples while Xu Youyou took advantage of them, and had to replace them quickly before closing the door.
Xu Youyou opened the door again to get the peeled apple, her movements froze for a long time without any reaction.
Xu Jialu worried: "Will your method work?"
Mo Shenbai also had doubts in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He really didn't dare to let her touch the knife.
Fortunately, Xu Youyou walked out of the kitchen with an apple after standing there for a while, without looking for a knife.
Xu Jialu and Mo Shenbai both let out a sigh of relief.
"Put away the knives, lock the kitchen, and don't let her in." Just in case.
Xu Jialu nodded, "I know."
Xu Youyou walked up the stairs, but didn't go back to the room, but turned around and sat down halfway through the walk, lowered her head and slowly gnawed at the apple.
I heard that a sleepwalker cannot be awakened, and she should be asked to go back to bed and sleep again, and wake up by herself.
Mo Shenbai didn't dare to approach her, he just took two steps up and stopped, then looked up at her, feeling uncomfortable.
Even though she has endless wealth, she cannot stop the pain caused by the death of her relatives.
Xu Jialu also came over, leaned on the armrest and took out a cigarette, lit it, put it in his mouth, and took a deep puff.
Looking up at Mo Shenbai, "Would you like one?"
