Shen Zicheng

Chapter 28

Meeting Shen Qiao always came suddenly and by coincidence.

I just got into the hanging garden again, and when I looked up, I saw Shen Qiao sitting on the edge of the roof.

Just like him on a certain New Year's Eve.

I thought about whether I should run away on the spot.

To be fair, I'm here because it's the second place where I can feel at ease besides the bottom of the bed.

Why did Shen Qiao appear so naturally?

Before I decided to turn around and run away, Shen Qiao turned her head and glanced at me. It was obvious that he didn't expect me to appear suddenly, and she raised her eyebrows in astonishment.

Then he laughed: "...Come to talk?"

I murmured a few words in my heart, moved towards Shen Qiao slowly, and stopped about five steps away.

Shen Qiao opened a can of beer and pushed it towards me. This is not common, I haven't seen him drink yet.

He didn't look at me either, but turned his head to look into the distance, his tone could not hear any emotion: "You don't need to be so afraid of me, as long as you don't want to, I won't do anything. Look, haven't I been obediently for the past two days? Didn't I go to you?"

"..." I was silent for a while, then whispered, "Don't do this."

"What kind?" Shen Qiao turned her head in doubt.

I choked, then laughed again when I saw him.

I hate this vibe.

Made me feel very uncomfortable.

Shen Qiao turned around from the edge of the roof, from outward to inward. He took a look at the withered garden, and joked, "Guess what? So I'm quite rich. This floor - originally It was bought by your father, and then my father inherited it, and now it is in my hands. I checked it, and it is worth more than my house."

To be honest, hearing Shen Qiao talk about these things gave me an awkward sense of dislocation.

I followed his words and hinted: "Then can't you live a very comfortable life?"

"Yeah." Shen Qiao answered quickly. He propped his chin with his hands and smiled happily, "How do you say that... I'm so poor that I only have money left. I have nothing else. It’s not just about being comfortable.”

"..." I was choked again.

I probably couldn't hold down Shen Qiao in terms of momentum.

So after being silent for a while, I said in a light tone, "I found a way to get Di to leave you."

Shen Qiao's expression froze for a moment.

He slowly restrained all his expressions, and looked at me expressionlessly: "...why?"

My scalp was a little numb, but I forced myself to look into Shen Qiao's eyes and said, "In this way, you can live a normal life."

Shen Qiao didn't speak.

He tilted his head as if he was thinking, and then slowly repeated my words: "Let Di get away from me?"

"Make me no longer a necromancer?"

"Let me live a normal life?"

He paused for a long time, then suddenly nodded and said, "Okay."

—I admit I was momentarily shocked.

But before I turned this momentary shock into a sigh of relief, Shen Qiao added: "Then I will jump from here."

"..."

I was speechless for a while, and asked dryly, "...why?"

Shen Qiao looked down at me, smiled lightly, and said, "Shen Zicheng, I love you."

I think my face at this moment is more deadly than dead.

I took a few steps back suddenly, but then Shen Qiao jumped off the edge of the roof, stood in front of me, and said: "I have loved you since I was 13 years old, and I want to help you and protect you." You, I want to be with you later, I want to hug you, I want to kiss you, and I want to hide you. This world is too malicious to you. I once wanted to kill everyone who bullies you. This idea It hasn't changed until now."

"Stop it!" The more he said, the more frightened I became, I screamed at Shen Qiao, and at the same time dodged to the back, "I'm already dead!"

"Yeah, that's why I want to kill myself." Shen Qiao laughed frighteningly, I covered my ears, but I still couldn't stop Shen Qiao's voice, "It turns out that I am the one who caused you the most pain in the end. When you were dead, I immediately thought of walking with you, but at that time I couldn't kill myself, I tried many times, but every time something brought me back from the edge of life and death I pulled it back, and then I realized that it was the inheritance of the so-called Spirit Eliminator—to be reasonable, it looks really ugly."

"Shen Qiao! You are crazy!" I couldn't help shouting.

Imagining Shen Qiao doing the things I used to do drives me crazy with fear.

I began to feel restless, so that black mist overflowed from my body, and I had to increase the distance from Shen Qiao again, and now I was standing on the other side of the rooftop.

Instead, Shen Qiao looked at me in surprise, and raised her voice to let me hear clearly: "Why do you think I'm normal?"

I couldn't answer Shen Qiao's question, his words only made me feel as painful as if he was going to kill me, which made me lower my voice and beg, "Shen Qiao...don't say it, please, don't say it... ..."

Shen Qiao ignored my pleading, and continued on her own: "Fortunately, there is something that prevents me from dying, so I can see you again. I originally wanted to die with you, but you forgot All things—isn’t it good to forget? As I said, you don’t know anything, and I remember everything, so I only need to bear everything, isn’t it good? But why are you…why Why are you trying to find those bad memories? It's not like you at all."

I can't speak.

I can't speak.

I can't say anything.

Everything is wrong.

From the beginning, to every step of development, until now, everything is wrong.

I grabbed my hair, and voices other than Shen Qiao gradually sounded in my ears.

They are laughing at me.

I deserve to be laughed at too.

"If you keep forgetting these things, if you don't remember them all the time...how good would it be? I can always watch over you...just like before, always watch over you." Shen Qiao lowered her head and muttered slowly .

If I keep forgetting these things, if I never remember—

I am also thinking about it in my heart.

do you hope so

Do you want me to forget you?

Do you want me to remember nothing?

I hear a lot of people talking.

I hear someone talking.

I heard Ah Cheng talking.

...he asked me if I wanted to forget everything again.

"Shen Qiao!" I shook my head violently and hammered my useless head hard, "I don't need you to guard me, I'm already dead! But you're still alive, I don't need you You guard me, I need you to live!"

"I do not need!"

—I was terrified.

Shen Qiao's sudden yell made me startled.

He looked up, and I couldn't tell whether it was sadness or pain on his face.He seemed to be crying, but I didn't see any tears in his eyes.

His voice was trembling: "Shen Zicheng, I have nothing...I only have you. Do you want--do you want me to lose you? Do you want me to live alone... alone? You hate me so much Me? Do you want me to be sadder than dead? Do you hate me that much?"

"I don't..." I was afraid, I was weak, I couldn't help but took a step towards Shen Qiao, and then took two steps back, "Shen Qiao, I can't..."

Today's Shen Qiao is very unusual, I don't understand, he is usually not aggressive like this, I don't know why he is pressing step by step today.

—but after I saw the black mist creeping out of him, I understood.

I reacted abruptly, took a few deep breaths, stared at Shen Qiao and said, "You said you wouldn't do anything if I didn't want to."

Shen Qiao didn't speak.

He calmed down slowly, with a signature smile on his face: "I said so."

"Shen Qiao," I said weakly, "...Is there no other way?"

Shen Qiao didn't answer my question, he asked me instead: "Do you still remember Lin Leyi?"

It took me a while to remember such a person...a ghost.

Shen Qiao said, "I chatted with him for a while."

I haven't guessed Shen Qiao's purpose for mentioning this now, but it doesn't prevent me from feeling uneasy.

I'm a very persuasive person.

What's more, the target is Shen Qiao.

"He told me his story. Coincidentally, it was also a story between two lunatics." Shen Qiao said, "But unlike us, Lin Leyi also wanted Duan Gu to die."

——I guess Duan Gu is that man's name.

"At that time, I also asked him, 'Why don't you want him to live? He's not good for you if he dies. Do you hate him so much?'" Shen Qiao imitated his tone at that time, and then asked me, "Guess what? How did he answer me?"

I didn't dare to answer Shen Qiao.

I was afraid that if I opened my mouth, I would reveal my vacillating mood.

Shen Qiao cleared her throat, and slowly restrained her expression, as if she was imitating Lin Leyi's expression: "'Because I know he will come to see me sooner or later, apart from me, there is no other person in this world that he can fall in love with people.'"

After finishing speaking, Shen Qiao looked at me again and said, "In this world, there is no other person I can fall in love with except you."

I heard my beliefs crumble.

So I turned and fled.
