Chapter 13: Chasing the Shadow of Light
Seeing that she seemed to have an epiphany, the professor reached out to hug her, and this time the lady struggled violently, and the professor asked, "Do you want to lure both Ji and Adams out?" I really couldn't control you like that then, but how do you explain it to them? Will they not follow you? β
"What the hell are you going to do?!" The lady asked angrily as he reined in his words.
"I'm saving you, ma'am." The professor whispered.
"I don't need to!" Wang Xizhi stretched out his hand and wanted to break his hand away, but his strength was too great, it was like a grasshopper shaking a tree. She gradually felt a sense of powerlessness, a familiar sense of powerlessness, a powerlessness that she couldn't do anything, whether it was Darkmond or under the Neil Bridge.
Wang lost the sharpness of his struggle, like a deflated ball, and the professor let go of some of his strength to make sure it didn't hurt her, and whispered behind her back, "Do you understand? There are some things that can never be changed on your own. With all due respect, ma'am, you are still in the middle of summer when flowers are blooming, and you can't always trap yourself with the past, and it's even less worth withering for it. β
"Don't you have someone or something for whom you can give your life?" Wang Xizhi pushed him away, pressed his right hand on his forehead, trembling his breath, and asked in a low voice.
"I didn't." The professor said calmly, "My life is the most important. Madam, it should be the same for you, maybe your friendship with the little girl, and your dissatisfaction with that incident will be enough to give your life, but you must understand that even if you persist, you may not even be able to bring down the executioner in the end, let alone the mountain behind you. β
"It is true that there will be people who will give their lives for it, but Madam, you still have a future, and you will meet such people in the future, so you can kill yourself today who is obsessed with the past and justice, and give your life for the person in the future." The professor said.
Wang Xizhi leaned against the wall, she couldn't see the ethereal future, but her past was constantly catching up with her, wrapping her in darkness, because of Lanchester's words, she was almost shaken, in fact, the main thing that shook her was the feeling of powerlessness that she couldn't do anything, her hands covered her face, crying silently.
The professor sighed and turned off the hallway lights. The lady huddled in the corner alone, but if she gave up those insistences, her life would be like a boat in a rainstorm, losing its direction and sinking at any time.
βMissγβ The professor sighed, took her into his arms, and lent her the gentleman's shoulder, for he did not like this grumpy and stubborn woman, but could not see her grieve alone, and all his actions were just that he did not want to see her give her life for a meaningless thing in vain. He told himself.
"Sometimes giving up is more valuable than perseverance, and it is even more remarkable."
The lady pressed her right hand on the professor's chest as if to push him away, but her left hand was tightly covering her face and leaning on his shoulder, the lady was such a contradictory person. The strength in her bones made her not want to rely on anyone, she only planned to be a loner, but the darkness and pressure of reality made her reluctant to rely on this short-term borrowing.
"Can't I do anything?" She asked.
"It's remarkable to be alive, ma'am." "You're staying here, just like the cases Adams solved before, you've helped a lot of people, you've saved a lot of people, and you've always found meaning in life if you live in a different way." There are many kinds of future and many possibilities for you. β
The king gritted his teeth and pushed him away, turned and ran back to his room.
The handkerchief in the professor's right hand was a little redundant, but the soaked fabric on the front placket told him that today was also a day to help the lady, so he smiled and went upstairs.
Wang Xizhi opened the curtains, looked at the empty street, washed her face first, wiped it well, and then took the charged mobile phone and walked to the rooftop, her room was facing the coastal avenue, and she climbed to the top floor to see the center of Harbin City in the distance in the night breeze, she didn't know how many lives would be lost tonight, and how many innocent people would die in Huangquan.
In the early hours of winter, the cold outside the cold style blew away the sleepiness. Lanchester is right, others are right, and she is right, the only difference is that the value they measure is different from the starting point for their own value.
She blew the cold wind on the rooftop for a long time.
......
"Yo, good morning, ma'am." Adams said hello, the lady got up late again today, after all, he and Ji both came down. "Ma'am, are you sick?"
Ji Qing had already tactfully heard that the lady fainted yesterday with "anemia plus low blood sugar", and couldn't help but feel that the lady was at least more humane, and she was wearing a medical mask today.
"I have a cold, and I don't want to infect you." She rarely wore makeup to cover the traces of her eyes today, and she was really sick by blowing a cool breeze, and the professor asked, "Have you taken medicine?" β
The lady shook her head: "I'll eat it when I'm done with breakfast." β
Then she sat down listlessly, and the cold made her a little dizzy, and she picked up her breakfast and sat down on the side, still coughing and sneezing intermittently.
"Why don't you take a vacation today, there is no job anyway, and we have an internship period!" Adams laughed.
Wang Xizhi did not refuse, took off the mask and ate, and when he put the things down, a sharp lady called from the office: "Mr. Adams! Miss King! Please help me! Where are you? β
Adams put down the knife and fork, it was Joan's voice, and the lady could hear it, the professor's face was ugly, why wasn't she dead? No, how did the poor lady survive?
The lady had just put down the dishes and was about to stand up, but the professor sat back with a calm face on her shoulder, he looked at the door that Adams hurriedly rushed out and forgot to close, and said, "Madame, eat well, and you are on vacation today." β
Ji also wanted to go out, but saw the young master take off his coat and drape it on the young lady with messy hair and said, "Madam, your worries are right!" Someone is going to kill me! β
The lady put down the knife and fork, removed the professor's hand, and stood up, the professor saw her familiar eyes again, firm and not confused, this is something that the lady has been missing when she just walked into the cafeteria, he can't help but have a headache, what kind of cerebral palsy killer they sent can't even handle a college student!
"Allow me to take care of it for you." Wang coughed a few times and said, and touched her forehead with his hand, but she was still feverish, "Then have breakfast and take some medicine." β
Wang went upstairs to find a set of clothes to change for her, but fortunately it was a little big but it barely fitted, Joan borrowed her bathroom, and she asked, "May I ask what happened?" β
"That's right, last night after Mr. Adams left, I sent off my relatives to rest, but I was going to take a sleeping pill to sleep, someone shot me outside the window, my sleeping pill happened to fall, the shot hit my table, I hid in panic and called the security guard, but no one responded. Soon I heard strange movements, I hid behind the sofa, waited for a long time and did not move, and in the morning I changed into the maid's clothes and changed my hairstyle, pretended to go out to buy something, and fled here before the maid came to clean up. β
"Madam, I don't believe anyone anymore, those relatives of mine may be murderers, I can only come here."
