Chapter 318: Insomnia
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Yin Tao had always naively thought that as long as the main characters in the novel achieved their goals, the story would have a good ending. Xi Feng and Yin Ning would be together, and Feng Jing would catch the murderer who kidnapped and lulled his brother. This story would end there.
When she was no longer being manipulated by the plot, she felt that she would have a chance of returning to the real world.
However, as she lived in the novel, Yin Tao could clearly feel the different thoughts of everyone. All the characters here were too real. Sometimes, Yin Tao couldn’t tell what was real.
Could it be that her previous life was just a dream, and that the original world was like this?
Especially when she saw each victim, Yin Tao could feel the loss of each life and the sorrow and pain of the victims’ families.
“I can understand what you’re thinking. Although it’s a little heartless, sometimes I also hope that the murderer will reveal a flaw. That way, new victims will definitely appear.”
Feng Jing was not too surprised by Yin Tao’s thoughts. In fact, when the police encountered such a clueless case, they would also hope that the murderer would reveal a flaw. Otherwise, letting such a person go unpunished was also a threat to the public.
When the two of them returned to the villa, Yin Tao didn’t see Feng Ya. She said disappointedly, “I plan to bring my luggage back to the dormitory tomorrow. 1 had wanted to make some of Auntie’s favorite food before I leave.”
“Do you want me to call and ask where she is?” Feng Jing saw that Yin Tao was a little disappointed and took out his phone from his pocket.
“There’s no need. It’s not like we won’t have a chance to meet in the future. Say goodbye to Auntie for me tomorrow.” Yin Tao walked up the stairs and turned to Feng Jing. “I’ll go pack my luggage first. I’ll put it in your car tomorrow and bring it to the police station.”
Feng Jing nodded. When he realized that Yin Tao would not be staying here from tomorrow onwards, he felt a sense of loss.
Although Yin Tao hadn’t lived here for long, Feng Jing seemed to have gotten used to seeing her when he came home.
“Do you need me to help you pack?”
“There’s no need for that. I don’t have much anyway.” Yin Tao didn’t notice the change in Feng Jing’s mood and walked upstairs.
After tidying up her clothes, Yin Tao’s luggage was filled to the brim.
“I’ll be returning to the small bed in the dormitory tomorrow.” Yin Tao lay on the soft bed and turned over reluctantly. “I don’t know why, but I have always felt safe in Brother Feng’s bedroom.”
Yin Tao looked at the simple decor of the bedroom and felt that it might be because of Feng Jing’s profession that she had a sense of trust in him.
Ever since Yin Tao moved into Feng Jing’s house, he had given up his bedroom to Yin Tao out of consideration. At first, Yin Tao felt a little bad, but she could indeed rest very well in Feng Jing’s room.
When she was at the police station, she was always worried that there would be new cases. However, in Feng Jing’s house, Yin Tao seemed to have suddenly found someone she could rely on. When she encountered something, she no longer wanted to take charge.
“Best of luck. You still have to buy your own apartment in the future!” Yin Tao knew that staying in the police station’s dormitory was not a long-term solution, but returning to the Yin home to live with Zhao Yue and Yin Ning was simply a torture to her body and her mind.
Therefore, Yin Tao wanted to move out and live alone. Although it was impossible for her to buy a villa like the Feng Jing family’s, there was still hope for a smaller apartment.
Although the salary of a forensic doctor was not high, it was very stable. If she could think of a way to raise the down payment, Yin Tao was confident that she could repay the mortgage independently.
“When I have my own bedroom in the future, I must buy a bed of the same brand as Brother Feng’s house.” Thinking of this, Yin Tao took out her phone and checked out beds of the same brand as Feng Jing’s house.
When Yin Tao saw the long list of prices on the mobile phone interface, she gave up on this idea.
“Forget it, I’d better accept reality as soon as possible…”
Yin Tao placed all the things she had to take away the next day at the door of the bedroom. She washed up briefly and lay back on the bed.
Perhaps because she especially cherished this last night, Yin Tao didn’t sleep well the entire night.
Yin Tao only slept for a short while when dawn was breaking. When the alarm on her mobile phone went off, Yin Tao struggled to get up from the bed and walked out of the bedroom with two big dark circles under her eyes.
“Why don’t you rest a while more? You’re going to resign anyway. There’s no need to go too early.” Feng Jing was preparing breakfast in the kitchen when he saw Yin Tao walking down the stairs in a daze..
