Chapter 196 Cloudy Mood
The House of Terror
In a remote mountain village, there is an old and dilapidated mansion. This mansion has a history of hundreds of years, and it is said that many bizarre events and terrible tragedies have happened in it.
A young man named Li Ming, who was full of curiosity about the legend of the ancient house, decided to explore it one night. He carried a backpack with some simple equipment and food and set out on the road to the ancient house alone.
When he arrived at the gate of the old house, a gloomy atmosphere hit him. The gate was closed, but there seemed to be an invisible force attracting him. Li Ming took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to push the gate open. The door hinge made a creaking sound, which was particularly clear in the silent night.
After entering the old house, Li Ming found it very dark and damp, with a smell of decay. The paint on the wall was peeling off, revealing mottled bricks and stones. He walked carefully, holding a flashlight in his hand to illuminate the road ahead.
Suddenly, he heard a slight sound of footsteps, as if someone was following him. He turned his head, but saw nothing. He was filled with fear, but he pretended to be calm and continued to move forward.
He came to a hall with some shabby furniture and decorations. In the center of the hall, there was a huge portrait. The face of the person in the painting was blurred, but it gave people a weird feeling. Li Ming approached the portrait and looked at it carefully. Suddenly, the person in the portrait seemed to move, and he was so scared that he quickly stepped back.
At this moment, the whole old house began to shake violently, as if there was an earthquake. Li Ming panicked and didn't know what to do. He wanted to escape from here, but found that he had lost his way.
In a panic, he ran into a room. The room was very dark, with only an old bed and a dresser. He was about to turn around and leave, but found that the door had closed automatically and could not be opened. He slammed the door hard and shouted loudly, but no one responded.
At this time, he heard a low laugh, which seemed to come from all directions. He looked around in horror, but saw nothing. Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him. It was a woman in a white robe. Her face was expressionless, but her eyes revealed a strange light.
Li Ming was so scared that he collapsed on the ground and stammered, "Who... who are you?"
The woman did not answer him, but walked slowly towards him. Her steps were light, as if they were weightless. When she came in front of Li Ming, she stretched out a pale hand and gently stroked his face.
Li Ming wanted to resist, but he found that his body was no longer under his control. The woman's hands were cold, like ice. Her mouth
Love and Sorrow
In the hustle and bustle of the bustling city, there is a lonely soul named Lin Xiao. Her parents divorced when she was young, and she lived with her mother, but she suffered hardships and difficulties in the process of growing up.
Lin Xiao is very pretty, with a pair of big watery eyes that always reveal a hint of sadness. She works as an ordinary clerk in a small company and lives a routine life.
By chance, Lin Xiao met the man who changed her life, Su Ran. Su Ran was a senior executive of a large company, handsome and elegant. They met on a rainy street. Lin Xiao was running in the rain without an umbrella. Su Ran happened to drive by and saw her, so he kindly let her get in the car.
At that moment, Lin Xiao looked at Su Ran's gentle smile, and a strange feeling surged in his heart. From then on, they began to meet frequently and gradually fell in love.
Lin Xiao thought she had finally found her own happiness. She loved Su Ran with all her heart and gave him all her tenderness and love. And Su Ran seemed to love her very much, caring for her and taking good care of her.
However, fate always likes to play tricks on people. Su Ran's company suddenly encountered a major crisis, and he had to devote all his energy to deal with it. He began to become busy and had less and less time to accompany Lin Xiao. Although Lin Xiao felt a little lost, she understood Su Ran's situation and supported him silently.
However, as time went by, Su Ran changed more and more. He began to become indifferent and his temper became irritable. Lin Xiao tried to communicate with him and wanted to regain the sweetness they once had, but Su Ran always interrupted her impatiently.
"Can you please stop bothering me? I'm tired enough now!" Su Ran yelled.
Lin Xiao's heart hurt like a knife. She didn't understand why her once gentle lover became like this. She began to doubt herself, wondering if she hadn't done well enough to make Su Ran become like this.
On a quiet night, Lin Xiao finally couldn't help it and broke up with Su Ran.
"Su Ran, let's break up." Lin Xiao's voice trembled.
Su Ran raised his head and looked at Lin Xiao, a complicated look flashing in his eyes.
"Okay, let's divide it." He said coldly.
Lin Xiao's tears welled up in her eyes and she turned and fled from the place that was once full of happiness.
After the breakup, Lin Xiao seemed to have lost the direction of life. She was immersed in pain and memories every day, unable to extricate herself. Her friends all advised her to let go of the past and start over, but she couldn't do it.
As for Su Ran, not long after the breakup, the company's crisis was finally resolved and his career was back on track. He began to frequently appear in various social occasions, surrounded by countless beauties. He seemed to have forgotten Lin Xiao and their former love.
A few months later, Lin Xiao accidentally learned that Su Ran was getting married. The bride was a rich girl, beautiful and charming, and a perfect match for Su Ran. Lin Xiao's heart was torn again, and she felt that she was the most pitiful person in the world.
On the day of Su Ran's wedding, Lin Xiao secretly came to the wedding scene. She hid in a corner, watching Su Ran's happy smile, tears kept flowing.
"Why, why is it like this..." Lin Xiao murmured to himself.
After the wedding, Lin Xiao came to the beach alone. She looked at the endless sea, her heart filled with despair. She felt that her life had no meaning, and she wanted to end all the pain.
Just as she was about to jump into the sea, a familiar voice sounded in her ears.
"Lin Xiao, don't!"
Lin Xiao turned her head and saw someone she didn't expect to see, it was Su Ran.
Su Ran walked quickly to her side and hugged her tightly.
"I'm sorry, Lin Xiao, I was wrong." Su Ran said while choking.
Lin Xiao looked at him blankly, not knowing what to say.
It turned out that after getting married, Su Ran realized that the person he really loved was Lin Xiao. He regretted what he had done and regretted giving up this relationship so easily.
"Lin Xiao, I love you. Can we start over?" Su Ran said.
Lin Xiao shook her head, tears blurring her vision.
"It's too late. There's no going back." Lin Xiao said.
Su Ran held Lin Xiao's hand tightly and said, "It's not too late. As long as we are alive, we still have a chance."
Lin Xiao broke free from Su Ran's hand and turned away. She knew that even if they were together again, they could not regain the happiness they once had. The pain had been deeply engraved in her heart and could not be erased.
Since then, Lin Xiao left the city and went to a distant place. She wanted to start a new life and forget everything in the past. And Su Ran spent the rest of her life in pain and regret. Their love, like a beautiful but cruel dream, ended in tragedy...
Many years passed, and Lin Xiao met a man who truly loved her in a new place. They spent many happy times together, and Lin Xiao finally walked out of the shadow of the past. But Su Ran, on the other hand, always lived alone, and there was always an irreparable regret in his heart.
Sometimes, love is like this, full of helplessness and pain. But no matter how many hardships we go through, we must believe that happiness will eventually come as long as we don't give up hope.
