Xu Yun and Xiao Ya had already showered and were lying in bed, preparing to sleep.
Although Xu Yun had considered many things, he never thought that Third Young Master would do something to him. He also never thought that Ruolai Shiwen would use such a thing to "educate" his son.
Xiao Ya didn't think so much. Her mind was filled with thoughts of how to get her life back on track.
This was a turning point in Xiao Ya's life. She really couldn't fall asleep. Many things surged into her mind, and she had a myriad of thoughts.
She wanted to talk to Xu Yun, but Xu Yun had already closed his eyes and started to rest. She didn't dare and didn't want to disturb Xu Yun's rest. This man was her god. Xiao Ya didn't know how many lives of virtue she had cultivated to be able to meet someone like Xu Yun.
In the darkness, Xu Yun had already fallen asleep. Xiao Ya also saw her future in a trance and imagination.
The nights in the Philippines seemed to be quieter than the nights in Hua Xia. Perhaps only in this high and cold place could one enjoy such tranquility.
At least at this time, street thugs like Lamoer couldn't sleep peacefully.
Other than doing what Xu Yun had instructed them to do, Lamoer and the others also had to continue to manage the former "night market empire." This was their main source of income. Unless they could also come into contact with the drug business, they had to rely on the night market's income to survive.
Xiao Ya lay beside Xu Yun and quickly fell asleep. She hadn't been able to sleep peacefully for a long time. The double pressure on her mind and body had almost caused her to collapse in the past six months. For a while, she even suffered from depression.
She believed that all of this would become a thing of the past tomorrow, and a brand new life awaited her.
Many things could be easily solved in a different way. She didn't have to let her brother pay for himself to go abroad to study in those universities. Since her brother was capable, she should believe that he could get good grades in university and let the school pay for him to study abroad!
None of this was impossible.
She only needed to do what an older sister should do, and an ordinary job would be enough to pay for her younger brother's tuition fees.
Moreover, her brother wasn't a little boy anymore. There were so many work-study opportunities in the university now, and he could take them all. Moreover, her brother's English was good. He could earn a lot of money by working as a tutor in some training institutions at night.
Nowadays, English training institutions are so popular that teachers are always in short supply.
Life was full of opportunities as long as one could see things in the light.
God was fair and would not really force a person to perish. On the contrary, many people who obtained opportunities were forced out by God in this way.
Humans always needed a little bit of pressure to stimulate the little universe in their bodies, and the little universe also needed a source of motivation.
In the dead of the night, Xiao Ya fell asleep.
Xu Yun slowly opened his eyes and turned to look at Xiao Ya, who was lying beside him. This girl's thoughts were really heavy. She actually took so long to fall asleep. It really made his heart ache.
Xu Yun didn't know that Xiao Ya was the template for many girls in this industry in Hua Xia, but he really hoped that when he went back, he would have the time to calm down and write this story. He would find a place to publish it and let more people know about Xiao Ya's story.
Heaven, hell, it was really just a matter of thought.
Sometimes, when people faced with threats and difficulties, they chose to escape. Then, they might fall into a bottomless abyss. If they chose to face it, everything would be different.
Xu Yun looked out of the window. Xia Qiuyu must be very worried at this time, but before Xu Yun left, he told her to wait for him to take the initiative to contact her at any time. Unless there was no news from him for more than three days, she could leave the Philippines and go back to help him pass the message.
…
At that time, Xia Qiuyu took Xu Yun's words as a joke. However, it was already so late, and there was still no news from Xu Yun. Xia Qiuyu was more or less worried, even though it was still early from Xu Yun's three days.
Xu Yun said that he would only be considered missing if he disappeared for 72 hours, but Xia Qiuyu felt that it was impossible for her to wait for 72 hours.
This was too scary, really too scary.
72 hours! How many hours had it been? Xia Qiuyu couldn't help but want to call him, but in the end, she chose to endure it.
This was because Xia Qiuyu knew very well that any careless action of hers could bring danger and harm to Xu Yun.
On the surface, the search for the beast head seemed to be for the country, but in reality, it was for Xia Qiuyu's knot in her heart.
That was why Xu Yun brought a burden like her along.
When she first came to the Philippines, Xia Qiuyu didn't feel that she was a burden, but now she couldn't help but smile bitterly. She really was a burden. She couldn't help Xu Yun at all, and even made him worry about her.
Sigh. Xia Qiuyu let out a long sigh. She probably wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
Xia Qiuyu had a habit when she couldn't sleep. She would play with beads. On her wrist was a gift from her father. Xia Qiuyu had already played with the red sandalwood Buddhist beads.
This was because her father said that the red sandalwood was an excellent product that could balance Yin and Yang. It was recorded in the Herbal Medicine that the red sandalwood had many effects such as calming the mind, relaxing the muscles, promoting blood circulation, reducing inflammation, and relieving pain.
That was why Xia Qiuyu's father told her that wearing the red sandalwood ornaments could have incredible power.
Later on, Xia Qiuyu also heard that the wood shavings of the small red sandalwood emitted a substance called "wood oxygen" that had a very good calming and refreshing effect. Furthermore, long-term contact with it could also promote the regeneration of cells, and it could even help a woman maintain her youthful appearance.
Her father also said that the fragrance emitted by the red sandalwood was good for the human heart, liver, and kidneys. It could effectively stabilize the human brain, balance emotions, and make people feel peaceful and calm. It could also help with sleep and meditation.
That was why Xia Qiuyu had developed a habit of playing with the beads on her wrist when she couldn't sleep.
In fact, very few girls would wear a red sandalwood bracelet. The red sandalwood bracelet was very special. Its color was called the color of the emperor. Purple Qi from the East. It had a very good meaning.
Those who knew the industry would definitely take a few more glances at it, but those who didn't know the industry would never know the sense of accomplishment that a red sandalwood bracelet could bring.
Xia Qiuyu was actually an outsider. She had never studied the industry, so she didn't know the quality of wood.
To her, this red sandalwood bracelet was just a reminder of her father. With this bracelet, she felt that her father was always by her side. It made her feel a different kind of happiness.
As Xia Qiuyu played with the beads, she prayed that Xu Yun would be fine. Time passed by, but she didn't feel sleepy at all.
Suddenly, the string on Xia Qiuyu's wrist snapped!
The prayer beads fell to the ground with a crackling sound!
Xia Qiuyu's brain buzzed. Fear seemed to come from the bottom of her feet!
The broken beads meant that something bad was about to happen. This saying didn't only exist in Hua Xia. Although it was a superstition, Xia Qiuyu's heart couldn't convince herself at all!
If something bad was going to happen, who would it be?
Xia Qiuyu hoped that it would be her, but now … the person in danger seemed to be Xu Yun!
She picked up every bead on the ground crazily, praying for Xu Yun in her heart.
To comfort herself, Xia Qiuyu kept telling herself: If you read too many books, the paper will rot! If you wear it for too long, the color will darken! If you play with the beads for too long, the string will naturally snap! Everything follows the law of formation, residence, decay, and emptiness. This is a natural phenomenon!
But even after repeating this saying over and over again, Xia Qiuyu still couldn't convince herself. She was still very, very worried about Xu Yun's safety.
What exactly happened? Even if Xia Qiuyu's heart resisted, she couldn't stop the fear from creeping up on her.
A person's imagination was scary. Many things that didn't happen could be colorful because of imagination. It was really amazing.
