Chapter 1150 - Severed Finger
Chapter 1150: Severed Finger
Translator: Yunyi
“If it’s possible, I hope you can go back and tell your brother not to come and disgust me again. It’s best if he disappears from my world completely!”
What he had done the last time had already exhausted all of Song Yaoyao’s patience.
Looking at Zhong Li now, all that was left was disgust.
Zhongli Xue was unable to move. She trembled for a moment, and an inexplicable fear emerged from the depths of her soul. Especially when she was stared at by those pitch-black eyes, her mind was in a mess and her breathing quickened.
A moment later, she made a move to escape.
She pushed Song Yaoyao away, turned around, and ran out.
Song Yaoyao narrowed her eyes. After a long while, she snorted softly.
…
The movie that was temporarily named ‘Shield’ was put on hold while the assistant director that Song Yaoyao chose took some people with him to scout filming locations.
The weather grew colder and colder, and on the day of Song Yaoyao’s birthday, it suddenly snowed in the morning.
She pushed open the window and saw the priest who had just stepped out of the car standing amongst the white snow.
His senses were very sharp and he quickly found Song Yaoyao’s location. Behind the vintage and complicated window, the little girl was wearing cotton home clothes. She leaned on the windowsill and waved at him.
The priest made a gesture of blowing a kiss.
Song Yaoyao rolled her eyes, expressing her dislike, but the smile on her lips grew wider and wider.
She turned around and ran out.
Song Yaoyao knew that the priest’s visit this time would bring news about Song Lanchuan.
She was somewhat looking forward to what her brother would say to her this time? Song Yaoyao did not know where he was or how he got in contact with Nolan.
Song Yaoyao had asked about this many times openly and discreetly, but Nolan always avoided it.
She was unhappy at first, but later she chose to accept it.
She was lucky enough to be able to live again. As for the rest, she just had to wait.
She would take whatever the heavens gave her.
“Oh! My little angel, come and let me hug you.”
Uncle Zhang led Nolan through the door and she heard the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs. Soon, the bright and cheerful figure came into view.
He was still wearing the same black clothes that never changed. The only difference was the cloak-like coat he wore on the outside. When he looked up at Song Yaoyao, he had just taken it off and it was hanging on his arm at the moment.
Snowflakes fluttered like goose feathers in the sky, released from a torn pillow.
Nolan’s eyes were like fine gemstones that contained endless secrets.
He was like a character from a fantasy world.
Song Yaoyao was about to hug Nolan when a large hand suddenly appeared from behind and grabbed her collar, forcefully pulling her back.
Song Yaoyao fluttered a few times and turned her head to look at Huo Yunque who was standing behind her.
She said, “Gege…”
Was he jealous again?
Nolan shrugged. “Oh, fine, fine.” Like magic, he conjured a crystal rose out of thin air and handed it to Song Yaoyao with a smile. “Happy Birthday, pretty girl.”
Huo Yunque narrowed his eyes and did not say a word.
The rose was made of clear crystal, the petals were stacked on top of each other without a single flaw, and the roots were golden and extremely beautiful.
A girl would never reject beautiful things, and Song Yaoyao was no different.
She beamed. “Thank you!”
She took the rose and looked at Nolan with eager eyes.
Her eyes seemed to say, “And? And?”
Nolan pretended to be confused. “Hmmm? Why are you looking at me like that? I’ve already given you your gift.”
Song Yaoyao stared at Nolan. Very few people could escape Song Yaoyao’s gaze, but Nolan’s act was so good that there was no trace of a performance.
Song Yaoyao looked at him for a long time and collapsed her shoulders in defeat.
No blessings from her brother this year?
She turned her head and looked at Huo Yunque’s calm expression, not knowing how much he knew.
Just as she was feeling listless, suddenly…
Nolan smiled and said word by word, “I wish my little princess a happy birthday. May you remain safe and happy.”
Swoosh!
Song Yaoyao looked up abruptly. Her nose was slightly sore, but her eyes were flashing with joy.
“I knew it!”
Her brother had never missed her birthday, and this year was no exception!
Nolan found it funny. This little girl was sometimes too mature to be understood, but sometimes, she was as innocent as a child: one sentence could make her smile.
Didn’t she consider that he may have said those words casually?
Song Yaoyao wiped away her tears, crying and laughing.
Huo Yunque’s eyes were cold. He looked at Nolan and gently wiped away Song Yaoyao’s tears. When he spoke to Nolan, his tone was a warning. “You made her cry.”
“Oh…”
Nolan shrugged innocently. “Perhaps, these are tears of joy?”
Song Yaoyai was content with the gifts and blessings she had received. She did not want much on her birthday. As long as the person she cared about was by her side, everything was enough.
Huo Yunque and Nolan went to the study together. Song Yaoyao didn’t know what they would say.
“Miss Song, there’s a delivery for you.”
Song Yaoyao was fiddling with the crystal rose. Under different lights, the color of the crystal was different. It was either bright or dark, but it was all very beautiful.
She was thinking about where to put the flower when someone knocked on the door.
“It’s here!”
Tang Xinrou was supposed to come back to celebrate with her, but because of the sudden snow today, her flight was delayed and she could not make it back.
The other students were also studying abroad, so Song Yaoyao only thought that it was a birthday gift from one of the students who had specially chosen this day to deliver it to her.
“Give it to me.”
When the express delivery was delivered, it went through a check outside to make sure it wasn’t a dangerous item before it was handed over to her.
Therefore, Song Yaoyao was relaxed when she opened it.
In the study room.
Nolan held Huo Yunque’s hand and shook it casually.
“Don’t think too much, I’m not doing this for you.”
Huo Yunque curled his lips. “Anyway, thank you.”
Nolan curled the corners of his lips to show his disdain. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a scream from outside.
He felt a gust of wind pass by. When he came back to his senses, Huo Yunque was already gone.
Nolan’s face darkened. He cursed in a low voice and quickly chased after him.
Song Yaoyao fell to the ground, her vision turning black. She looked like a drowning person, and it was difficult for her to breathe.
A beautifully wrapped gift box was spilled on the ground. Blood dyed the white fox fur carpet red, and in the pool of blood, there was half a snow-white finger.
Huo Yunque’s eyes scanned across everything on the ground, and his body instantly brimmed with a strong murderous intent.
He covered Song Yaoyaao’s eyes and quickly carried her away.
“It’s okay, don’t be afraid.”
In the cold winter, Song Yaoyao’s forehead was full of sweat.
Her fingertips were white, and she tightly gripped Huo Yunque’s shirt.
Nolan knelt on one knee and stared at the red blood on the carpet. After a moment of silence, he reached out and dipped his hand into it, putting it under his nose and sniffing it.
As for the severed finger, he only needed to take a glance to see the problem.
“The severed finger is fake. The blood is human blood.”
