Chapter 31: Heart-to-heart
Lu Qing held Betsy's hand, and the two groped in the darkness along the corridor.
Since the power was cut off, there had been a deathly silence all around, and even the voice of the madwoman who had been talking to herself in the hospital room was gone. Lu Qing and Betsy were not far from the ward, they pushed open the door and entered the room, and after some searching, they unexpectedly found that room 7 was already empty.
Not only the patients, but also the other dreambreakers seemed to be missing. At this moment, in the entire three floors, it seems that only the two of them are left.
Lu Qing's hands were not warm, on the contrary, they were a little cold. But being held by such a hand, a strange feeling emerged in Betsy's heart, and even her heartbeat involuntarily accelerated a lot.
Becky's ears were feverish, and she was glad that it was dark now, otherwise the other party would have seen her blushing face......
"The ghost is starting to do it, what do you think?" Lu Qing didn't know what the girl behind him was thinking, he said what he thought, and wanted to hear what the other party had to say.
"I don't think anyone else has been killed." He added another sentence, guiding the other party intentionally or unintentionally.
After all, when the power went out, Betsy was by his side. Now that everyone else is gone, the only thing that is certain is that Betsy should be genuine and trustworthy.
"We must be trapped in a fantasy." Despite the joy in her heart, Betsy did not get carried away by her feelings, on the contrary, she quickly reflected what had happened to them.
"It should be. When the power went out, the ghosts separated us all. Lu Qing guessed that the other people's experiences should be similar to them.
"Why is this happening all of a sudden?" Betsy was puzzled.
Lu Qing didn't say anything, he opened the curtains, letting the moonlight shine through the window in the room, illuminating the surrounding environment faintly.
Under the moonlight, Betsy looked at his side face with clear lines, Lu Qing's eyes were very good-looking, the outline of the upper eyes was like the lines outlined by an ink pen, hard and soft, although usually these eyes always look cold and emotionless, but at this moment, the bright moonlight is imprinted in his eyes, but it adds a unique softness to these eyes.
"I didn't expect to sit down with you again and have a good talk, it would be under such a scene." Lu Qing smiled slightly and sat cross-legged against the wall.
Despite the smile on his face, Betsy could feel that there was no other emotion in the smile, as if he just thought that something needed to be done to ease his tension in this environment.
She could see that Lu Qing's eyes always contained an inexplicable emotion, which should be sadness.
Lu Qing doesn't look the same, he is still so handsome and mature as he was two years ago, giving people an inexplicable feeling of peace of mind and reliability. But Lu Qing has also changed, and he has become different from before. He is no longer the soft-spoken Lu Qing he used to be, who will be shy after a long time of contact with girls, and who is extremely gentle to anyone.
"Is it because of her?" Betsy stared at each other, and asked the ghost a question.
Lu Qing was not too surprised, he nodded and said "um" lightly.
"Her name is Li Wenqiao, right?" Betsy sat next to Lu Qing and said to herself: "I was fortunate enough to meet her, it was the mission ...... of Red Moon High School" As she spoke, she noticed that sadness welled up in Lu Qing's eyes, and she suddenly realized that she had mentioned his sadness again.
"Ah, I'm sorry." She clutched the corners of her clothes a little crampedly, and secretly blamed herself for her recklessness.
"It's fine." Lu Qing stretched out his hand and gently rubbed it on her head. And when his hand touched the top of Becky's head, the girl's body was slightly stunned, and a familiar feeling came to her heart again. When he was at Devany Manor, he would always rub his hair helplessly while making trouble.
Becky's nose was a little sour, and her voice was a lot hoarse when she spoke: "She is very beautiful, and she is a very gentle person like you." ”
"yes." Lu Qing said, a smile unconsciously appeared on his face. The corners of Betsy's mouth were a little bitter, and she could see that this was a real heartfelt smile after the softness of her heart was touched.
"After she left, I had thoughts of suicide more than once. But when I think of her telling me that I must live, to take care of my relatives for her, to do those things she wants to do, and to witness the beauty of this world for her, I still carry this promise and survive. Although it was a lot of pain for me to face the rest of the life alone, I survived. I went where she wanted to go, showed her the sea she wanted to see, climbed the mountain, and saw the beautiful maple leaves blooming on the mountain...... It's a pity that the person who promised to watch with me is no longer there. ”
When Betsy heard him say this, her heart was extremely sad, and she wanted to say something to comfort, but she didn't know what to say. At this moment, not only Lu Qing, but also her heart is also extremely tormented. She didn't know anything about the matter between Lu Qing and Li Wenqiao, and she had just been stupidly worried about each other for more than a year.
And now it seems that Lu Qing's heart has died with Li Wenqiao, and in his heart there is only the figure of that girl, and he can't let go of anyone else. Their love is like the maple leaf in Lu Qing's mouth, after blooming brilliantly and burning out, it withers into the earth and turns into dust.
At this point, the words that Betsy originally wanted to say to Lu Qing were also swallowed back by her, and she decided to hold back her feelings for him and bury them in her heart forever.
"Sister Wen Qiao hopes that you can let go of these sad pasts, take her hopes and expectations, and live well." Betsy said, "Qing, I believe that with your ability, you will definitely leave this ghost place." ”
Lu Qing turned his head and looked at her quietly. After a long time, he smiled with relief and touched Betsy's head: "Yes, I will definitely live." You too, little girl, I haven't seen you for more than a year, and you've grown to this point, which is great. ”
"It's all with the help of my seniors." Betsy smiled slightly: "Also, I'm not a little girl, I'm 18 years old and an adult." ”
"When I said that, I realized that I was nine years older than you, and the years are really unforgiving." Lu Qing was quite emotional, over the years, he watched batches of old people and newcomers die in the mission, and then new people continued to join the space...... Time flies, and it has been more than two years since I entered here.
Lu Qing looked at her with great emotion in his heart. In addition to the shock of seeing the other party for the first time, he thought that Betsy would enter the space, and he also had a responsibility that he could not escape. If it weren't for that solo assessment mission, maybe she would still be living happily with her family in the beautiful villa...... Thinking of this, he also secretly made up his mind that he must protect this child.
"Anyway, should we go somewhere else and see what's going on?" Becky didn't want to continue the conversation, but changed the subject. Despite the unknown dangers outside, staying in this room is not a good way to go.
"No, you don't." Lu Qing said calmly: "Just stay here and wait for it to come to the door." ”
