Rebirth 004

  Fire all around, flames everywhere, no escape. The fire scorched her skin, a pain that cut to the bone and left an indelible mark.

  The person on the bed suddenly sat up, broke out in a cold sweat, and soaked the bedding.

  The bed curtains were lifted up by someone, under the candlelight, Qing Luan's face was pale, a pair of eyes black and dull without any focus.

  "Miss, you had another nightmare?" Gu Yu's voice cut through Qing Luan's eardrum, and she suddenly lifted her head, her eyes coldly staring at the maid in front of her.

  Gu Yu was startled by that cold and gloomy gaze, hastily putting down the candle holder in her hand, stretching out to touch Qing Luan's forehead: "Miss, are you alright? Didn't you have a nightmare?"

  Just as Guyu's hand was about to touch Qingluan's forehead, she slightly turned her body and dodged his hand. "I'm fine, I just had a nightmare! Go tell them to prepare hot water, I want to take a bath."

  Valley rain paused for a moment, then looked at Qing Luan, seemingly the same as usual, covering up the anxiety in her heart, lit up the lights in the house, and went out to make arrangements.

  The blue phoenix lifted the quilt, and the early autumn air was slightly cold, making her involuntarily shiver. She raised her hand to put on the clothes beside the bed, she wanted to take good care of her body, she couldn't waste this opportunity given by heaven.

  Yes, she was reborn. That big fire brought her back to when she was twelve years old. She wasn't Lin Zixuan's wife yet, and her brother hadn't gotten into trouble yet.

  The little face in the mirror was slightly pale, but it was exceptionally tender. Probably because God had heard her rebirth and given her a chance to relive. This time she wouldn't give them another chance to harm her brother, those who harmed her, plotted against her, would all be made to pay the price.

  The eyes in the mirror flashed an astonishing light for a moment, almost burning everything in front of them to ashes.

  The footsteps coming from the door made Qing Luan's body stiffen, she blinked her eyes, and suppressed that hatred and regret deep into her heart. When she opened her eyes again, she was already the twelve-year-old Wei Qing Luan.

  "Miss, the water in the bathing room is ready." Gu Yu said as he walked in.

  Qing Luan nodded, gazing at this honest and simple-minded maid. She had followed her for so many years, when did she start having such thoughts? She treated her as the most trusted person, but she chose to betray her at the moment she needed her the most.

  The blue phoenix lowered its eyes and quickly walked into the purification room.

  Gu Yu followed behind with some trepidation, why did she feel that this young lady made her hair stand on end? Those eyes staring at her always made her feel naked and exposed.

  After washing up, the sky outside had already brightened, Qing Luan didn't feel sleepy, so she didn't lie down again. She shooed away the maid beside her and stood by the window. The courtyard was already being swept by the cleaning lady, and in the east, there were a few strands of light that seemed to be suppressed by something. Slowly, the light grew brighter and brighter until it could no longer be held back by the darkness. Finally, the sun burst out, and the earth was bathed in brilliant radiance.

  Qing Luan withdrew her gaze, and this time there was no longer any hatred in her eyes. The ripples of light flowing between them made it impossible to discern any emotions.

  "Let's have a picnic!" Qing Luan said loudly.

  Before long, a maid came in with a food box, and her breakfast was always the most sumptuous. There were six kinds of porridge alone, and only she had one person, but the breakfast was full, all arranged by her good aunt.
