My Evil Wife Is a Nine-Tailed Fox

Chapter 83 - You Need To Wake Up (1)

Lu Anqi remembered falling asleep next to Li Fei'er as she was too exhausted from today's events. When she opened her eyes, she realized that she was in someone's bedroom, her hands hovering over the keyboard as her fingers flew swiftly over it. Words appeared on the monitor in front of her, but it didn't make any sense to her what she was even writing. 

'What's happening? Where am I?' She thought. What was this? Was she in someone else's body?! 

Lu Anqi was panicking inside because she neither knew where she was nor what the hell was happening around her. It seemed like she had no control of the situation as her body moved on her own, and she could only watch like a spectator on one side. 

It was only by then did she realize that this wasn't her body, this wasn't her home, and certainly, this wasn't her life. Was she dreaming of someone else's life instead? She wondered. How did she end up dreaming of this anyway? 

Lu Anqi watched as the person finished writing on her computer. The person left the room to go to the small kitchen to have a drink. She was slightly perturbed when she realized that the place seemed familiar to her. 

Wait. Wasn't this Bai Xinran's place? Did this mean she was seeing a glimpse of Bai Xinran's memory before she died?

Lu Anqi couldn't be mistaken this time. She was dreaming inside the same apartment after all, but why was she dreaming about being another person though? 

The dream continued, and the person came back inside the bedroom and resumed writing on her PC. A few moments later, there was a loud banging sound coming from her door, followed by the incessant ringing of her doorbell. 

Bai Xinran's hands stopped typing over the keyboard and frowned. Lu Anqi could sense that Bai Xinran was a little upset, but she had no idea why. She could only watch as Bai Xinran made her way to her front door and harshly opened the door, revealing Liang Sisi's infuriated face. 

The two were then trapped in a heated argument that Lu Anqi couldn't hear. Somehow, the words spoken between the two were lost to Lu Anqi, but with the way the two young women were arguing, she assumed that it was serious. 

Bai Xinran stalked inside, turning her back to her friend. However, Liang Sisi followed her inside and continued saying her piece. It was as if she was oblivious that Bai Xinran had enough of her already and didn't want to argue anymore. 

If only she could hear what the two were talking about, Lu Anqi would have an idea of what went wrong between the two. Was this the reason why Liang Sisi chose not to divulge some information to them because they might suspect her as the person responsible for Bai Xinran's death? 

Lu Anqi could only watch in confusion, wondering if there was a chance for the two friends to make it up to each other before Bai Xinran's death. However, the next scenes were enough to crush her hope into pieces all at once. 

She witnessed how Liang Sisi tackled Bai Xinran to the floor, her eyes still burning in rage. Bai Xinran tried to struggle free, but she failed because Liang Sisi had straddled her, forbidding her to move from her assailant. 

Lu Anqi was so shocked when she realized she could also feel the pain of being choked to death by another person. Was this how Bai Xinran really lost her life? To think that it was her childhood friend who killed her, Lu Anqi couldn't believe it. 

'Please! If this is a nightmare, someone, please wake me up!' She cried.

Bai Xinran forced Liang Sisi away from her by grabbing her attacker's hair harshly. She heaved for breath as her neck was released from Liang Sisi's hands. 

Lu Anqi then heard Liang Sisi cry in pain, with her long hair flaying on her back as her long red silk hair tie released it from its constraints. The next thing Lu Anqi knew, Liang Sisi was using the same hair tie to strangle Bai Xinran. 

It seemed that Liang Sisi had truly lost her mind right then. Her eyes showed no signs of awareness of what she was doing to her childhood friend. She had thrown away her logic out of the window as she pulled her hair tie around Bai Xinran's neck tighter… until tears rolled down Bai Xinran's cheek. Bai Xinran's hands then fell down to her sides as she lost consciousness. 

When Bai Xinran finally stopped struggling and moving, it was only by then did Liang Sisi realize what she had done. She hurriedly released her hold on her hair tie and looked at Bai Xinran's unconscious state. 

"W-what…?" She couldn't believe what she had done to Bai Xinran. Her mind seemed to have short-circuited upon realizing the horrible thing she had done to her friend. 

At the same time, Lu Anqi was plunged into never-ending darkness, while Bai Xinran's feelings washed through her. She had no idea what had happened to Bai Xinran next, but she was certain that the girl was still alive and only lost consciousness. 

She couldn't understand what had just happened or why she felt like she had experienced what happened to Bai Xinran first-hand. It felt too real in her opinion as the pain of being strangled still lingered on her neck. 

"Please…" She sobbed and looked around, but she was only greeted with endless darkness around her. However, no matter how much she begged and prayed, no one was able to pull her out from that darkness that engulfed her. 

"Miss Lu, you need to wake up." Lu Anqi heard a familiar voice. 

"How?" She asked, "How do I wake up? Please help me, Miss Shen!" 

Lu Anqi looked around her, trying to find where the sound was coming from. It was only by then did she hear Jiang Chen's voice. 

"Lu Anqi! Wake up! You better wake up!"
