Death Spiral [Infinite Flow] - Chapter 197
Lian Qiao squatted in the flower bed for a long time before she recovered and left the school staggeringly.
He went back to the hotel and met Little Apple head-on. Xiao Apple was stunned when he saw him, and hurriedly came up to help him sit down and asked, “What’s wrong with you? Your face is so bad, and you’re sweating profusely. Have a fever?”
She raised her hand to touch Lian Qiao’s forehead, Lian Qiao patted her hand subconsciously, and said weakly, “Don’t touch me.”
“…” Little Apple’s expression froze, very embarrassed.
Lian Qiao couldn’t control her emotions for a while because she was uncomfortable. Seeing Xiao Apple’s expression embarrassed at this moment, I thought that she had good intentions, but suddenly I felt a little embarrassed. After thinking about it, I don’t know if I should apologize.
He vaguely felt that Little Apple had a crush on him. It’s no wonder, after all, everyone is born and died together, and there will inevitably be a suspension bridge effect (note). Moreover, both of them like games, there is no obstacle to communication, and the game terms that are usually popped up from time to time make each other feel very friendly.
It’s even more difficult to place in a copy. When he was fighting the hungry ghost, he discovered that although he and Xiaomao had never cooperated before, they had a natural tacit understanding. This is of course because of the game thinking of playing games for many years, but if others see it, it is inevitable to misunderstand.
What Lian Qiao is most afraid of is the misunderstanding of honeysuckle, so these days he has been deliberately keeping a distance from Little Apple.
However, at this time, Little Apple was just worried about him, wanted to see if he had a fever, and did not intend to have physical contact with him. He slaps people’s hands like this, not only embarrassing people, but also sad.
She’s a girl after all…
After a brief hesitation, Lian Qiao sighed and apologized: “I’m sorry, I…”
“It’s alright.” Little Apple interrupted him with a wave of his hand, as if he didn’t care about his rude behavior, “What the **** happened to you? Where did you go just now?”
“…” Lian Qiao fell silent.
Little Apple: “What can’t be said again? Okay.”
She has fully understood the urination of Lian Qiao Rendong, a dog boy and a boy, anyway, she just doesn’t treat her as her own, everything has to be hidden. But there is no way, after all, the two of them are a pair, and he is just a teammate who met by chance in the dungeon. It is also reasonable that people refuse to share clues with her.
So she stopped asking, but took two steps back and said, “Can you go upstairs by yourself?”
Their rooms are on the second floor of the hotel. The hotel is small and has no elevator. The front desk didn’t know where to go, Xiao Apple couldn’t find anyone to help, and knowing that Lian Qiao refused to have physical contact with her, so she had to step back and stand by.
“I’m fine, I just have a headache.” Lian Qiao stood up with the armrest of the sofa, cold sweat dripping down his face, he swayed, and he was about to fall again.
“Hey!” Little Apple pulled him subconsciously and said helplessly, “Can you do it?!”
This time, Lian Qiao didn’t push her away, she just smiled bitterly: “It’s over, not very good. Maybe you really have a fever?”
“Burn your ass, you didn’t burn it.” Little Apple wanted to say that it was cold when I touched your forehead just now, but when he thought of his rejection of him, he felt a stab in his heart, and changed his words halfway through. Said, “…you sweat so profusely, even if you have a fever, it has already subsided.”
Even Joe’s face was pale and bloodless, and it was not a solution to let him sit at the door of the hotel. In the end, Little Apple helped him upstairs. As soon as he entered the room, even Joe fell softly on the bed, as if he was sick.
Little Apple looked at him pitifully and poured him a cup of hot water. Lian Qiao closed his eyes after saying thank you, as if he had no strength to do more.
Xiao Apple hesitated again and again, but couldn’t help but ask: “It’s okay with you? Do you want me to call a doctor to come and see you?”
The newly unlocked block has a community hospital. Xiao Apple felt a little regretful thinking about this. He knew that he was so weak, and he should have taken him to the hospital just now. Now that everyone has been helped up by her, it will be another toss to get them down. If it doesn’t work, I’ll be despised by him…
Lian Qiao did not speak, but slowly opened his eyes, looking at the ceiling in a trance.
Little Apple felt that being alone in the room with him was a bit weird. She didn’t know what happened to her, but she didn’t want to stay here for some reason, so she said, “I’d better go and call the monk back. If I want to get you to the hospital in a while, I’ll have to help him… or I’ll go to the school and take Xu Ren Dong also called back?”
She turned her head and left, but Lian Qiao suddenly stopped her: “Wait, little apple.”
“Why?” Little Apple jumped in her heart when she heard him call her name.
“…” Lian Qiao propped herself up, sat up slowly, pursed her lips, and said, “I… I have something, I am very entangled and can’t decide. Can you… listen to me talk?”
Little Apple was taken aback.
Hey, is this the rhythm of a heart-to-heart talk?
But shouldn’t this kind of thing be discussed with their family Xu Rendong?
Little Apple’s mind changed and she already understood. What he wants to talk about is definitely something that Xu Rendong cannot know.
They’re just weird. Xu Rendong had something to hide from Lian Qiao, and even Qiao had something hidden in his heart and dared not let Xu Rendong know. This love affair is simply intriguing, is it interesting?
Little Apple pouted, feeling a little complicated, but she still pulled a chair to the edge of the bed and said, “Tell me, what’s the matter.”
Lian Qiao smiled weakly, and lowered her head to draw something from her neck: “Have you seen this key?”
Little Apple glanced at it, it was a brass key with a simple shape, and said casually: “Where did this come from? How is it the same as a cosplay prop.”
“It’s the hidden item I found in the first copy.” Lian Qiao turned the back of the key and showed her the words engraved on it.
“Your name?” Little Apple subconsciously said, “Binding pickup?”
“No…” Lian Qiao frowned slightly, as if what he wanted to say was messy, he didn’t know where to start. After a moment’s pause, he spoke again, “When we first got this key, none of us knew what it was used for. It had my name engraved on it, so it was always with me. Then I gradually remembered it. now…”
“Remember?” Little Apple raised her eyes sharply, “What is ‘remember’?”
Lian Qiao smiled bitterly: “I don’t know. It’s like… It’s like suddenly remembering a text I recited in the college entrance examination after working for many years. It’s almost the same feeling. I think of some and Things about the key, like… its usefulness, and its price.”
Xiao Apple said in surprise: “Use? Isn’t it used to unlock?”
“It’s used for unlocking, but it has another use.” Lian Qiao took a deep breath and said slowly, “It can help me clear customs.”
Apple opened her eyes.
“How do I get through?” She gestured to open the door, “Do you open the door directly and clear the customs?”
“I don’t know.” Lian Qiao shook his head, “I can think of very few things, I only know that it is helpful for customs clearance, but I can’t remember the specific effect. “
“What’s the price?”
“The price is…” He took another deep breath, “I will lose something very important.”
“…”
Little Apple pondered for a moment, then asked: “You can’t remember what will be lost, right?”
Lian Qiao nodded.
“I understand. No wonder you dare not discuss with Xu Rendong.” Little Apple smiled, and there was a hint of bitterness in that smile for some reason, “If you use this key, it will hurt you. Damage, Xu Rendong must not agree to use it. But now we are in a deadlock, the time limit for the dungeon has passed more than half, but there are no clues about the elevator and buttons. Besides, this is your last dungeon. , is that so?”
“Smart.” Lian Qiao smiled, “You really understand very well.”
“You praise me at this time, but I’m not happy at all.” Little Apple sighed, “So what do you mean? You want me to help you decide whether to use a key or not? “
Lian Qiao lowered his eyes and muttered: “I can’t say that… This matter has been hidden in my heart for too long, maybe I just want to talk to someone…”
Little Apple snorted: “Then you shouldn’t tell me. After all, the price of the key is ‘you lose something’, not me. If you ask me, I will definitely let you Use it. If this key can really open the door on the spot, wouldn’t I make a lot of money? Even if I can’t clear the customs directly, unlocking a life-saving item or something is very good. Are you asking me for nothing? Aren’t you afraid that I will steal the key and use it myself?”
“Only I can use this key.” Lian Qiao smiled, “And you can’t.”
“How can you be sure that I won’t? You can trust my character so much?”
“Hmm.”
“Why?”
“Because you’re at a critical moment, you’d rather be injured than protect him. You’re a good man. I believe in you.”
“…”
Little Apple was caught off guard and was stuffed with a mouthful of dog food, and this time the dog food was so bitter that it was hard to swallow. She gave a “bah” and pouted, “Okay.”
“So…” Lian Qiao lowered his eyes and stroked his name on the brass key with his fingers, “Do you think I should use it?”
“Aren’t you hurting me?” Little Apple sneered, “You’re afraid that you can’t bear the consequences alone, so you pull my back?”
Lian Qiao was stunned for a moment, her eyes widened in surprise: “No, I’m not…”
“It’s not a fart, you are.” Xiao Apple said sharply, “You are afraid that something irreversible will happen to you after using the key, and Xu Rendong will be sad. But you are afraid of being trapped. You can’t get out of the copy. You want to gamble but you don’t dare, so let me make the decision for you? Lian Qiao, you are so cruel, you can put the blame on me when something goes wrong. Because I let you… no, because I didn’t stop you from using the key!”
Lian Qiao was stunned and hurriedly denied: “No! I didn’t think so!”
Little Apple sneered: “Even if you don’t think so, the result will still be the same. If something really happened to you, would Xu Rendong settle the account with you? Isn’t he looking for me?!”
“He won’t.” Lian Qiao shook his head, “He is not such a vexatious person!”
“Come on. You two gangsters, you’re going to be in a relationship and you’re going to die. Who knows what he’ll do at that time!” Little Apple slammed the chair away, Standing up, he said coldly, “I beg you not to involve me, I want to live a few more years!”
As she spoke, she walked towards the door. Lian Qiao stared blankly at her back, not understanding why she was so angry all of a sudden.
“Oh, yes.” Little Apple stopped at the door and said without looking back, “Although you have already reported to me, you’d better not use the key secretly. Otherwise, even if you die, I won’t tell Xu Rendong the truth. I will just make up any lies to bury you and make Xu Rendong sad to death alone. Don’t think you can sacrifice silently to be the savior of the world. It sounds disgusting!”
After she said these words, she slammed the door hard.
Lian Qiao: “?”
He was stunned, but he didn’t expect Xiao Apple to turn back and slam the door open.
“Are you okay?” She was extremely irritable, like a bandit coming, “Will you go to the hospital?”
Lian Qiao: “…No, it’s fine…You’re welcome…”
“Oh!” Little Apple slammed the door hard and left.
Lian Qiao: “…”
He stared at the door that was repeatedly slammed shut for a long time, and his heart suddenly warmed.
Honeysuckle is right, Little Apple does…
He is a good man.
Lan Dong came back from school in the afternoon, and Lian Qiao has almost recovered. He originally thought that nothing had happened, but he never expected that the second or fifth boy, Little Apple, would expose him as soon as he came up.
“Lian Qiao has a problem here.” Little Apple pointed to his head.
Honeysuckle: “?”
Little Apple had a stinky expression, but she still told what happened during the day.
“What did you do during the day?” After Little Apple left, Honeysuckle put down her schoolbag and walked over to the bed.
“Uh…” Lian Qiao secretly slandered Little Apple, but fortunately, she only said that she was unwell, and did not reveal the key. For a time, his brain was running fast, and Lian Qiao scratched his head and lied, “Just… I went to your school to peek at you, and then accidentally slipped on the flower bed and hit my head.”
Honeysuckle frowned and leaned in front of him: “Let me see.”
“It’s okay, it’s not broken.” Of course, Lian Qiao couldn’t make a wound on the spot, so he had to continue to lie, “It’s just a little dizzy, just come back and sleep. Ah ha ha , it’s a bit embarrassing, Xiao Apple is also true, I specially told her not to say it…”
“Really?” Honeysuckle was suspicious.
“Really.” Lian Qiao nodded desperately, trying to make his expression look sincere.
Honeysuckle stared at him for a while, but couldn’t find any clues, so she shook her head helplessly: “Why are you so careless.”
“Being a thief has a guilty conscience.” Lian Qiao said in his mouth that he was a thief, and even more so in his heart.
“By the way, how did you get in this time?” Ren Dong asked curiously, “I have inquired about it, there is no small gate in this school.”
“Uh…” Lian Qiao blushed a little, but still honestly explained the matter of her drilling the dog hole.
Honeysuckle couldn’t help laughing when she heard it. After thinking about it, he took out a school uniform jacket from his schoolbag and put it in Lian Qiao’s hand.
“Tomorrow at three o’clock, I have a gym class.” He said, “When you come in and wear my school uniform, you will not be suspected.”
“Huh?” Lian Qiao was a little surprised, and his fingers subconsciously caressed Ren Dong’s school uniform. At this time, the honeysuckle was already sixteen years old, and her body and appearance were close to that of her adulthood. The school uniform seemed to have his body temperature on it, which made Lian Qiao think, “Do you want me to accompany you to gym class?”
“Hmm.”
“Why?”
Honeysuckle smiled, his eyes slowly wandering over his lips. That look was real, and it made Lian Qiao feel that he was being caressed by him.
“To pay what I owe you.”
The author has something to say:
Note: The Suspension Bridge Effect: It means that when two people are swaying on the suspension bridge together, their heart beats fast because of fear. Nitrogen mistakenly thinks this is the feeling of heartbeat.
