Chapter 109: Balance Collapses
"Ari ......"
The fire suddenly became fierce, and a hesitant whisper crept through the crack, and Ari's body froze, almost thinking that he had misheard.
Someone called him......
Who is it......?
Not a father...... His father had never called him in that tone......
The flames burned.
In the gap of confusion, vaguely remembering someone, she is useless, but with her hug at night, she will sleep soundly.
Ah, and that terrible cooking......
Ari hung his head and pursed his lips as if aggrieved.
He was used to sleeping beside her with a gun with the magazine unloaded.
But the more reassuring she is, the more terrifying the time outside becomes.
The more hugs, smiles, and gentle words you get, the less you can restrain your reaction to threats. When confronted with a pinprick threat, it shudders, and the danger is cleared as if it were a conditioned reflex.
The world is split in half, and he struggles to maintain balance.
But tonight, the balance collapsed.
The feeling of being out of control was so dangerous and yet joyful that Ari trembled, unable to restrain his desire to destroy, destroy, destroy everything......
She didn't like him holding a gun......
Will she be disappointed......
If you are disappointed, you will not want him......
Ari's eyes were hazy and shimmered with a strange light.
Case...... It's better for him to do it...... It was enough for her to stay in the moment when she liked him...... Don't change, don't change, don't change again......
The gun was pointed in the direction of the comer, and the small hand was firmly pressed on the trigger.
The familiar figure was distorted by the hot air.
Pull the trigger.
The heartbeat was empty. Unparalleled happiness welled up, as if seeing her get shot, fall, and never leave......
Ari lay on the ground and smiled brightly. The big eyes are gradually empty.
Will never care about him again.
Will never cook for him again.
No one will ever read to him the story of the stupid little prince again.
Ari was shocked, as if he had fallen from a high-rise level, and he suddenly panicked, no, no, don't!!
And this violent emotion seemed to be a stormy wave, swallowing up the last bit of his sobriety. He couldn't take it anymore and passed out.
With a snort, the young man strode in the firelight. He picked up Ari casually and said, "What a troublesome little ghost." ”
"Is he alright?"
Not far away, the girl's worried voice sounded.
"Can't die. Bai Hengyuan rolled his eyes and walked back to her, his tone annoyed and helpless. "Aren't you quite bold? Rampage careless, and want to get rid of our own heroes...... Why did Ari shoot an empty gun and you were so scared that your legs went weak?"
Gu Lian's face flushed, she really thought she was going to die just now, at that moment, Ari's black grape-like eyes carried a killing intent that was so strong that it choked her breath, and when the voice sounded, she was already kneeling on the ground with weak legs.
It's useless.
Gu Lian sighed secretly and stretched out a hand in front of her. Gu Lian took it, and he pushed hard. Helped her to her feet.
"Are you alright?"
Liu Liu chased after him from behind.
The wooden building had begun to crumble, the smoke was filling, and the smell of burnt corpses was sickening.
Bai Hengyuan shook his head and said, "It's okay." Let's jump out of the second floor, the first floor can't get out. ”
Naturally, there was no objection, they jumped down one by one, and the moment Gu Lian jumped out with the support of Bai Hengyuan, the wooden building boomed, accompanied by sparks like fireworks, and fell down crackling.
In the exclamations of the people, Gu Lian fell to the ground a little embarrassed, her foot was broken, she sizzled and gasped, and was grabbed by Bai Hengyuan who came from behind, and he shouted softly: "Don't stop, go!"
He half-supported and half-embraced, and Liu Liu also led the fainted Ari to flee forward, and the collapsed wooden building was bathed in flames, with unimaginable magnificence.
Ran farther away, to confirm that it would not be affected again, the three of them and one small stopped at this time, Gu Lian was already weak in her hands and feet, coughing again and again, kneeling on the ground, and feeling weak for a while.
They were silent and adjusted their breathing, everyone knew what kind of thrill they had just experienced, and none of them wanted to speak.
People hurried to and fro, some bypassing them, some passing through the center of the four.
They were silent.
"What are you thinking?"
Bai Hengyuan's low voice suddenly sounded.
Gu Lian stayed for a while before she seemed to react, turned her head to look at Bai Hengyuan, and said slowly, "I'm thinking...... My life story has been wonderful. ”
Bai Hengyuan laughed out loud, Liu Liu raised his head and glared at her, but she didn't have the strength to say anything cruel anymore, touching Ah Rui's tear-stained face and the gun in his hand that would not let go even if he was unconscious, she was a little trance-like.
"What are you thinking?" Gu Lian hugged herself, shrinking herself into a small one, and the smell of burnt hair was accompanied by the smell of fireworks, as if to remind her of what had just happened.
“…… I'm wondering, did I do something wrong by handing over Ari to you?" Liu Liu said softly.
Gu Lian blinked and sighed, "A piece of gold is really hard to earn. ”
She still has the strength to joke! Liu Liu wanted to cry and laugh again: "Don't talk nonsense." After a moment of silence, she whispered, "I didn't know he could be so dangerous...... I never knew Ari was ...... He'll ......"
I talked about it for a long time, but I couldn't go on.
Everything about the welfare home, in fact, Liu Liu doesn't know.
She simply regarded it as a home, a future expectation, a big family with poor conditions but warm interpersonal relationships, where people lived and worked in peace and happiness. When she's strong enough, she can rest there quietly.
She has been in a dirty place for a long time, she has seen too many money, fame and fortune and ugly faces, so she expects more and more that it is a clean place without strife and desire=hope, but this fire seems to remind her that it is not a warm paradise, but people always have desires, good and bad, yours and mine.
Her long eyelashes drooped, and the beautiful girl raised her head and held back the tears in her eyes.
Perhaps, she never knew about her family.
It's just wishful thinking, believing in everything you want to believe.
Gu Lian looked at her silently, wanting to comfort her, but she was afraid of disturbing her. In the midst of the noisy crowd, the girl held her sleeping and weeping child, the image was both sacred and sad, and she thought, maybe she didn't need her now.
Soon, the people of the Jade Mansion found Liu Liu, a lot of things for her to deal with the aftermath, she looked at Ah Rui, and when she looked up, she was smiling again, beautiful and proud, but also simply sharp.
She took Ari away.
Gu Lian looked at her back straight, and her heart swelled with respect.
She will always give her a lot of touch, surprise, and courage.
"Can you go?" Bai Hengyuan asked her.
Gu Lian gave it a try, nodded and smiled, "No problem." ”
Bai Hengyuan looked at her, and suddenly squatted down in front of her. Gu Lian hesitated: "Uh, I think I can ......"
"Come up. Bai Hengyuan said calmly.
His tone was calm and abnormal, Gu Lian swallowed the words, obediently leaned up, and wrapped her hands around his neck.
The two men left the crowd, descended the stairs, and slowly walked to the golden elevator door in the midst of countless hurried by. Only then did the surroundings quiet down a little.
"Do you know what I was thinking?"
Gu Lian couldn't see his face, and replied honestly, "I don't know." ”
"I'm thinking, if you died like that just now...... Bai Hengyuan's tone was so leisurely that Gu Lian had the illusion that he was saying warm love words, "Should I make your corpse into a mummy and hide it in the ice cellar, or should I hollow you out and make you a puppet, so that you can wear the best dress, and show it to everyone I know." ”
"......" Gu Lian shuddered.
It's a joke, isn't it!!?
Feeling the tightness of the girl's arm on his back, Bai Hengyuan laughed lowly, as if he was very happy, and continued to laugh slowly: "If you die, all the things I have been entangled in will be in vain, and in this respect, this is a good thing." ”
Gu Lian trembled and said weakly, "We...... Don't discuss it under the assumption that I'm dead, right?"
Such a serious book, she will take it seriously!!
The elevator opened, he walked in steadily with her on his back, pressed the floor, and said calmly with a smile: "Okay, then let's talk about life." ”
He was faint, calm, even gentle, and gave her a muffled thunder.
"Zhou Hengyun, who is it?" (To be continued.) )
