Chapter 149: A Night Without Stars

What should you wish for on a starless night?

It is said that meteors can grant people's wishes, and the starry sky can record people's wishes.

What should you wish for on such a night?

Wearing a thick protective suit, Li Ai was very tired and leaning against the mud-covered wall with a shovel. She hung her head slightly, gasping lowly, but the memory of the man resurfaced in her mind. She shook her head, turned her eyes, and glanced at the colleagues in front of her who were still digging hard, and a strange light flashed in her eyes.

Here, it is the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor of Lishan. After more than two years of preparation, the national archaeological team finally decided to start excavating the resting place of the first emperor of the ages. And for some purposes, she used all kinds of means to participate in the excavation of this tomb.

And the reason why she wants to get involved is only because of two words, revenge. After recalling everything, the only thing she wanted to do was this. She came here to follow Moyin Bao'er's instructions, preparing to take away something from here that should not appear in the world. That thing can help her get revenge.

However, Moyin Bao'er didn't know where exactly it was in this tomb, so when she got here, everything was on her own. So she stayed by these people's side every inch, silently waiting, waiting for the thing to be unearthed......

However, she had been sleeping down there for a day and a night, and her already weak body could no longer withstand the erosion of sleepiness. Coupled with the dim and fluffy environment underground, her vision became more and more hazy, and she finally fell asleep in a daze...... In her sleep, she seemed to go back to the past, to the time when he had not left, the few short but unusually beautiful days.

At that time, she told him that she was testing him. So he tried his best to take care of her, wanting her to stay by his side and become a real couple with him. Now she will always think back, always think, if at that time, she rejected him, and then worked hard to find the truth and answers, and saved him, what would she be like now? And if she didn't give the truth at that time, what would have become of her later?

Unfortunately, there is no if...... At the end of the day, all she could miss was a few days......

It was getting dark, and the color of azure was gradually replaced by darkness after the rain. Perhaps it was because of a heavy rain, but there was not a single cloud in the whole sky, so when the sun set, there was only a shallow glow on the horizon. When the sun faded, the heavens and the earth were shrouded in darkness. But this city is like a pearl in the dark, exuding a hazy brilliance. Blue, green, red, purple, neon and lights of various colors illuminate the whole city, obscuring people's vision, but it is also beautiful.

Li Ai lay on the sofa, tilting her head to look out the window, watching the sky gradually fall from dusk to night; Watch as neon and lights gradually replace the glow of the sun, illuminating the city; Watch everything go from clear colors to dim lights...... I have been anxious these days, but the heart that has been tense has been quietly calm and relaxed.

She didn't want to think about anything, she didn't want to do anything, she just wanted to quietly watch the world change outside the window, waiting for him to come back. What she longs for, what she wants, isn't this the kind of life? She curled the corners of her mouth slightly, then looked back from the floor-to-ceiling window and focused on the hallway of the living room.

It's time for him to come back, right? Judging by the distance from the nearest farmer's market, he should be at the door. The smile on the corner of her mouth slowly opened, gradually covering her entire pretty face, and suddenly became a little more beautiful.

She forgot all kinds of things for a while, and tried to let herself discard all other thoughts, and let herself indulge in the happiness he brought her. The future is confused and unknown, the future is distorted and foggy, and she doesn't know which direction everything will develop. She just wanted to rest, to lie in his arms, to indulge in his tenderness.

It's good today, it's good for half a day. Tomorrow I will pick everything up again, tomorrow I will try to use the information I have to find the truth and methods, and tomorrow I will ask Zhang Zhou what has happened to him. Just today, no, half a day after I woke up...... It's just half a day, let me be selfish, let me be willful, and make me weak......

After spending Zhang Zhou from her home in the name of buying groceries, she trapped herself in the futon and struggled with complicated thoughts. Although she made that decision, there were more things for her to choose from. So she broke away from him, wanting to strip him of his influence on her and thus make a choice. However, how can it be stripped of what is about him?

Countless words and scenes stirred in her mind, every word, every minute and every second was about him. Her vision, her efforts, her choices...... She liked him. And she had deceived him. She wants to make memories that she can remember in the future. So, she faltered......

"Shang once said that there are beautiful women in the west, and the female Yaochi is unknown, and I don't know the people."

"You are about to lose the existence that is most important to you right now. And the being that wants to strip him out of the world you live in, you can't contend with. The city is far less beautiful than it seems. Where you can't see, there's filth that you can't touch or imagine. If he dies in the end, then the murderer, in a way, may be this beautiful city. ”

……

She struggled to remember, repeating the words that had made her think for a long time and not get many answers. He kept telling himself in his heart, telling himself that he was still in danger and that he could lose his life at any time. She wanted to calm the wavering in her heart and regain her stability. But...... But the more she thought about it, the more she wavered in her heart.

In the end, she silently opened her eyes, turned her eyes, and looked out the window...... Eventually, she compromises with her desires. The one who wanted to leave a more complete good memory persuaded herself, let her go for half a day's leisure, and gave her half a day of happiness.

The sound of the door lock being opened sounded. Silently smiling, Li Ai, who stared at Li Ai over there, restrained his smile slightly, and then whispered to Zhang Zhou, who pushed the door in, "You're back." Zhang Zhou looked up with a smile while changing the shoes on his feet, and responded to her, "Well, I'm back." ”

The simple question and answer, with some trivial repetitions, added a bit of vague tenderness to Li Ai's eyes. What she longed for, what she hoped for, what she wanted, and the future she hoped for with his existence were full of such plain and happy scenes. In a trance, she only felt that everything she had longed for had been realized.

Zhang Zhou, who had changed into slippers, walked to Li Ai's side with a large white plastic bag filled with the fruits of his sweep of the farmers' market, and reached out to cover her forehead, which was still in a trance. The cold temperature between the palms of her fingers made Li Ai shiver unconsciously, and she raised her hand dissatisfiedly, brushed away his palm covering her forehead, and then glared at him a little viciously. After entering the state of a tentative lover, she began to like to pose like this little daughter in front of him.

"Well, the fever should go away." Zhang Zhou withdrew his hand in a daze, with a casual look on his face, trying to get through the trick. Seeing that she was still pouting and looking unrelenting, he looked away a little weakly, and then suddenly reached out and ruffled her long hair, and then rushed into the kitchen with the bag while she didn't react, and then hurriedly closed the door, blocking her angry words from the door......

That ordinary fight, later, became the best memory of her life. No, not only the fight, but also a lot of memories that she didn't want to forget during that half a day. She feigned anger and asked him to feed her porridge; She pretended to be willful and wanted him to ...... Everything has become the best ...... of her life

When she woke up from the dream, she looked at the shovel that she was holding tightly in her arms, and unconsciously burst into tears. She had conceived of herself and his future, and everything in it was so beautiful, but after all that happened, all the fantasies that could become reality became extravagant hopes.

She fantasized that every morning when she woke up, she would be able to see him and the sunshine, and he smiled softly, rubbed her hair and said, Li Ai, get up! She fantasized about staying by his side, blessing him, being naughty with him, and never being separated like Moyin Bao'er and Yangu in the previous life. She also longed to grow old with him, until everything slowly passed away, and she was still with each other......

But all this, all that she fantasized about, all that she longed for, has now become an extravagant hope. His tenderness, his warmth, all vanished, along with the memories of his existence in this world, along with the future she longed for with his existence. Because, he's gone. On that gloomy night without a trace of starlight, in that narrow and dimly lit alley where no one passed, in her arms she clenched hard, trying to hold him around.

And the culprit of all this is that guy. That one...... She vowed to erase the guy who was buried for Zhang Zhou. It is the object of her revenge, and if she wants to complete this revenge, she must obtain the object in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.

Thinking of this, Li Ai, who still had tears on his face, turned his eyes and looked at the hole that his peers were digging hard...... Inside, is the depths of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, where there is something that can erase that guy.

She lifted her palm and pressed it against her chest. There, there is a picture of him......
