A few days later, Zhou Ming met the woman again at a banquet.

This banquet was a welcome banquet held by Earl Shengguang in his Longlan Castle. The person receiving the welcome was naturally Zhou Ming, his new neighbor who had just moved to District 11.

The owners of the other 23 small castles also arrived. They toasted at the banquet with great enthusiasm. Zhou Ming drank a lot with them.

At the end of the banquet, a woman wearing a purple evening dress, holding a wine glass, standing alone on the edge of the terrace tasting wine, caught Zhou Ming's attention.

"Isn't she the female painter I met a few days ago?"

Seeing that she was alone and lonely, Zhou Ming moved his feet for some unknown reason, took the wine glass, and walked towards her.

"Hi, Good Evening."

Zhou Ming said hello, raised his head and looked at the stars in the night sky, and said with emotion: "The starry sky tonight is so beautiful."

The woman ignored her and continued to drink her wine. Her face was unwavering, and her unfocused eyes were looking into the distance, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Hi, I like the painting you painted very much. I hung it in the hall of the castle...Thank you for this gift."

Zhou Ming took two steps closer to her and said to her, "Can you tell me your name? You look very... lonely."

"Aren't you afraid of me?"

The daughter still didn't turn her head, put down the wine glass, and asked in a calm tone.

"Haha~"

Zhou Ming laughed twice and said with a surprised look on his face: "You are not a man-eating beast, why should I be afraid of you?"

Although he said this, he was actually a little scared in his heart. Although this woman was not a man-eating monster, her eyes were more terrifying than a pure monster.

The scary thing about the monster lies in its ferocious appearance, and the scary thing about this woman lies in her eyes that seem to be able to penetrate everything.

Eyes are the windows to the soul. This woman's eyes not only have a window, but also a pair of hands that can climb into other people's windows.

"You're lying to me."

The woman shook her head: "There is no obvious difference between you and them."

After hearing this, Zhou Ming was silent for a long time.

After thinking for a while, he said:

"Yes, I am no different from them. I am the same type of person as them, but I can feel that you are lonely..."

"Just like your paintings, they are beautiful, dreamy and full of color, but I can also see the emptiness, darkness, loneliness and loneliness behind those colors..."

"We are actually the same, we are all people who are losing our souls. Many times, what controls our actions is just an empty shell..."

"So, I'm not afraid of you. To me, you are just one of the many passers-by."

The woman's body moved, and she finally turned her head, her eyes sparkling with light, she looked at his face and said: "I know, I saw it from your eyes, you don't belong to this world, you don't care about anything... …Including your fear of me.”

Boom~

There was a booming sound in Zhou Ming's mind, and everything went blank.

this……

Did she see all this?

How evil are those eyes of hers?

Zhou Ming still forced himself to remain calm, with a stiff smile on his face, and asked jokingly: "Oh, then do you know where I come from?"

The woman shook her head: "I don't know, that's a world I don't know, a much better world than this one, so although you are lonely, you are enviable."

Zhou Ming didn't dare to ask any more questions. This woman was too terrifying.

In just one second, this woman can really see through you.

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, the woman sighed, turned her head back, took a sip of wine, and said Youyou: "I'm sorry, I didn't want to pry into your mind, and I caused you some trouble. I hope you can forgive me."

After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait a moment!"

Zhou Ming stopped her: "Can you tell me your name? I want to get to know you."

"The heart of blue dreams, the dream of dreams, the heart of the soul."

The woman paused, and an ethereal voice came slowly.

"My name is Zhao Yu!"

Zhou Ming said to her back.

…

After the banquet that day, Zhou Ming created many opportunities to communicate and contact Lan Mengxin.

For example, knowing that Lan Mengxin was good at painting, he picked up some of his previous comic skills, drew some funny comics, and gave them to her for tasting. As expected, Lan Mengxin became interested, imitated these comics, and drew some I asked Zhou Ming to comment on comics in a similar format. In her reply, Zhou Ming naturally said that her talent in comics was higher than that in oil painting.

In addition, whenever he is free, Zhou Ming will ask the pilot to take him to Longlan Castle, and then stay in Longlan Castle for half a day, or take Lan Mengxin out to play in various places.

Sometimes he takes her to walk in the forest, sometimes to go boating in the lake, sometimes to camp on the grass, sometimes to talk under the stars.

Of course, the most visited place is the white beach east of Fort Hope. The two of them listen to the sound of the sea and talk about life together.

Sitting on the big rock under the sunset, Zhou Ming would occasionally take out his guitar and play a few songs for her.

Zhou Ming felt that this kind of life was very fulfilling, and he didn't know what it was about Lan Mengxin that attracted him. Maybe it was because he lacked someone to talk to, or maybe he needed a partner.

A soul mate.

Of course, there are two light bulbs that always follow them and monitor their every move - the two bodyguards who always follow Lan Mengxin in the name of protecting safety.

One day, Zhou Ming felt that the two bodyguards were too much of an eyesore. After sneak attack on them, he administered two injections of slave potion. Only then did he get more time alone with Lan Mengxin.

After spending more time alone together, Zhou Ming naturally understood women more thoroughly.

93 years old, two rounds older than him.

I am unmarried, have never been in love, and have never made any friends. I have been living alone for so many years.

In addition, she is also a "psychic clairvoyant".

A clairvoyant?

What is a clairvoyant?

Zhou Ming was very curious when he heard this term for the first time.

"It is a special ability to see through other people's minds, know the secrets of other people's hearts, and guess the thoughts of others through the eyes... People with this ability are called 'psychic clairvoyants'." Lan Mengxin explained.

Zhou Ming opened his mouth into an O shape, was he seeing through the mind? What kind of special ability is this? It's obviously a special function, okay?

Seeing through everything in other people's minds at a glance, this... is simply unbelievable!

No wonder at first, he thought this woman was so evil and terrifying.

"Are there many people with this ability? Are you the only one?" Zhou Ming asked.

Lan Mengxin shook his head: "More than that, there should be quite a few. Many players with superb gaming skills have the ability to see through the mind. This ability can be strong or weak, and can be divided into innate and acquired. Generally speaking, innate The number of psychic clairvoyants is much smaller than acquired ones, but in terms of ability, innate psychic clairvoyants are generally much more powerful."

"I am an innate psychic clairvoyant."

Lan Meng thought.

After listening to these explanations, Zhou Ming suddenly understood.

No wonder, every time he looked at Lan Mengxin, he felt hairy all over his body and weak in his heart.

The name of a person with innate psychic clairvoyance sounds awesome enough. He is gifted with advanced mind-reading, hypnosis, and mental coercion techniques, and has the ability to instantly break through the shackles of the mind... How could such a character not be terrifying?

If you apply this ability to the most popular casino game in the upper-class area, you can almost win every battle and become invincible.

"Since you have such powerful abilities, why does your father still imprison you and prevent you from staying away from the castle?" Zhou Ming asked again.

This is one of the two questions that puzzles him the most, the other is: why Lan Mengxin doesn't follow her father's surname of Long, but her surname is Lan.

This question made Lan Mengxin's expression darken, and he fell into a flash of memories, with a trace of pain on his face.

After a long time, she slowly said: "He is afraid that I will lose control and will kill him in the future."

"You are his daughter, how could you kill him?" Zhou Ming said in surprise. Even his own daughter was suspicious. Isn't this too suspicious?

"No! I have thought about killing him, more than once!" A trace of deep-seated hatred flashed across Lan Mengxin's face.

That beast, the beast that killed my mother, I will never forgive him!

"Why, why? He is your father, why would you want to kill him?"

Could it be that you have been under house arrest by him for too long and have too much resentment in your heart?

Or is it for some other reason?

Maybe there are some unspeakable difficulties? Lan Mengxin didn't tell him the answer, but the hatred in her eyes made Zhou Ming understand that things were not as simple as imagined.

Since your father treated you like this, why didn't you run away?

If you want to be free, I can help you. Those two bodyguards are actually not difficult to deal with.

Zhou Ming wanted to help this woman and help her get out of that prison.

"No, you can't help me. My body is implanted with a chip that can not only send out positioning signals, but can also explode at any time and take my life... I can't escape from his grasp."

This surprised Zhou Ming. He actually had such a cruel and vicious father. This is your biological daughter!

"Zhao Yu, I have been very happy with you during this time. This is also the happiest period of time in my life. I am very content. From your eyes, I can see that you are a good person. .”

"Don't come to me again. My father has recently become murderous towards you. If you go to Longlan Castle again, your life will be in danger..."

"So, forget about me being a passer-by in your eyes. You have spent a less lonely time with me. I really... thank you very much."

The woman's soft lips came over, kissed Zhou Ming's cheek gently, and whispered in his ear: "Goodbye."

Turning to leave, unknowingly, a tear slipped from the corner of the woman's eye.

"Dream Heart!"

Zhou Ming screamed and stretched out his hand in the air, trying to stop her, but the woman's body trembled slightly, her pace quickened, and she could only look at the lonely back, getting further and further away from him.

At this moment, for some reason, Zhou Ming's heart became empty.

I’m not very good at writing emotional scenes, but I still want to portray a more profound female character.
