Chapter Seven: Memories (Part Two)

 　　The top floor was a mystery to everyone, an unreachable place. Except, of course, 'they'.

　　Stepping inside, a vast house came into view. A series of crystal chandeliers shimmered brilliantly above the ceiling. A verdant carpet covered the entire room, making one feel as if they were on a meadow. A golden piano stood beside the window. A large bed occupied a third of the room, next to which was a door. Bing Tong slowly walked over and opened it. Inside was a huge bathtub, its water shimmering under the lights. Potted flowers surrounded the tub, emitting a delicate fragrance, and the patterns around the tub shimmered with golden light. Clearly, the designer had put a lot of thought into this place.
　　Bing Tong reached out and took off her hat. Instantly, her long purple hair cascaded down, revealing her breathtaking beauty. Especially her deep purple eyes, which seemed to draw people in, and the rose below her right eye added to her allure. This was why Bing Tong wore a hat. First, she was afraid her appearance would cause a sensation; second, she was afraid they would recognize her. 'Sigh,' Bing Tong shook her head. Why was she afraid of them? In the end, it wasn't fear, it was simply that she didn't want to see them.
　　After a while, Bing Tong came out, drying her still-wet hair. She was even more captivating now, her thin nightgown perfectly outlining her exquisite figure. (Author: Wow! Pervert!) Bing Tong dried her hair and then half-reclined on the large bed. She picked up an exquisite box and carefully placed the ring she had found at school inside, then closed the box.
　　Afterward, Bing Tong picked up the laptop next to her and began researching the four major families. Although information on the four major families wasn't easy to find, nothing in the world could stump Bing Tong. Sure enough, Bing Tong quickly found the information on the four major families. After reviewing it, she found nothing unusual, except for that incident from before. Of course, Bing Tong knew about that incident too; after all, the four major families were her families, and even though she was far away, she could always know what was happening in them. Next, she checked Wei Yi and Mo Xi'er's information. She discovered they had been dating for a year and were now preparing for their engagement! 'Sigh! Wei Yi, you said you would wait for me, but why did you lie to me too? I will never trust you again. I wish you happiness, and I will never forgive you.' Bing Tong closed her eyes wearily, a tear rolling down her cheek.
　　A moment later, she opened her eyes again and sent an email to someone in England: 'I'm sorry, everyone, please forgive my sudden departure. I'm here to take care of some things. Don't come looking for me. I'll be back after I'm done. Don't worry about me; I'll take good care of myself.' After sending this message, Bing Tong closed her laptop, closed her eyes, and lay down on the bed to sleep. The room, bathed in moonlight, was dazzlingly bright, and the rose on Bing Tong's face seemed to come alive. The entire room exuded a mysterious aura; though the lights were on, it had an eerie feel.
