Chapter 156 Antecedents

Punch after punch, each one hitting the flesh. It was thought that Yang Luoliu would beat Li Ling to death directly, but when Li Ling couldn't hold on any longer and coughed up blood, which splashed onto Yang Luoliu's hand, she stopped.

In the snow and ice, a touch of warmth on the hand brought Yang Luoliu back to her lost sanity.

Even though Li Ling under him was a person with superpowers, she could not withstand Yang Luoliu's fierce punch.

Li Ling's eyes had begun to blur and she was unable to move. She was only a matter of Yang Luoliu raising his hand away from death.

But looking at Li Ling like this, Yang Luoliu's clenched hands with white knuckles stopped in mid-air and did not move down at all.

It was not until now that he could clearly see the unconcealable sadness beneath the strong hostility in Yang Luoliu's eyes.

As the two sides pulled at each other, Yang Luoliu's trembling hands stopped in mid-air and could no longer move forward.

After a long time, a tear slid down from the corner of Yang Luoliu's eye and fell on Li Ling's miserable face.

Perhaps it was because Yang Luoliu did not use more cruel force, or perhaps it was because the psychic's healing ability was too strong, the originally lifeless Li Ling's eyelashes trembled when this tear fell.

She seemed to have come back to her senses, but her eyes were bloodshot. It took Li Ling some time to recover.

But after seeing Yang Luoliu's expression, Li Ling, who had finally recovered, was stunned for a moment.

He seemed to not understand why Yang Luoliu didn't kill him and was crying in front of him when things had come to this point.

Yes, it was tears, falling drop by drop on Li Ling's cheek which had been broken by Yang Luoliu.

Perhaps it was the warmth of the tears that brought Li Ling back to her senses in this world of ice and snow, and warmth and pain spread throughout her body.

Yang Luoliu seemed to feel that Li Ling had come back to her senses. She looked up and forced back her tears, then let go of her hand, as if she was about to get up and leave.

But Yang Luoliu couldn't get up after all, because Li Ling coughed away the fishy and sweet taste lingering in her throat.

After clearing his throat, he said the most hurtful words in the weakest voice.

"As expected, he's still that coward."

After saying this, perhaps Li Ling felt some of her strength returning, and she spoke sternly before Yang Luoliu let go.

"Yang Luoliu, if you let me go like this, be careful or I will be rude to your girlfriend. Let me see."

But Li Ling didn't get to finish her harsh words because Yang Luoliu punched her in the mouth, forcibly stopping her from saying the next word.

Even though Li Ling is a person with superpowers and even though she was well prepared, the pain still made her mind wander.

And just then Yang Luoliu spoke.

"Li Ling, that's enough. I know you don't want to kill me."

Li Ling, who had recovered a little, sneered when she heard this and was about to open her mouth to refute Yang Luoliu, but Yang Luoliu spoke first.

"If you really wanted to kill me, I wouldn't have discovered any flaws along the way. With your personality, you wouldn't choose to confront someone head-on if you really wanted to kill them."

Li Ling wanted to refute Yang Luoliu's words, but was interrupted by Yang Luoliu again.

"We've been together for ten years."

This sentence stopped Li Ling from saying what she was about to say. Her eyes looked up at the sky, past Yang Luoliu's complicated eyes, and it was unknown what she was thinking.

Seeing Li Ling like this, Yang Luoliu seemed tired. He got up from Li Ling, stood aside, and looked down at Li Ling who was lying in the ruins in a very miserable state.

Seeing Li Ling like this, Yang Luoliu's eyes trembled. Yang Luoliu didn't know whether he should blame others or not. The memories of his previous life were engraved in his mind like a knife and an axe. Sometimes even Yang Luoliu himself could hardly tell whether he was the Yang Luoliu of this life or the Yang Luoliu of the previous life.

When I found out that it was Li Ling who killed me in my previous life, did I feel resentful? Of course I did. How could I not feel resentful when someone killed me?

Do you want to kill Li Ling? Of course, especially when she was recklessly targeting Ye Yiyi, the desire to kill her reached its peak.

But after venting all his anger, Yang Luoliu found that he couldn't bring himself to kill Li Ling. Why?

Because the memory of fighting side by side with Li Ling and Hua Xiangwan for ten years is engraved in his mind.

Li Ling and Hua Xiangwan are different to Yang Luoliu.

What's more, after calming down, Yang Luoliu realized that something was wrong, because from the moment they met until now, Li Ling's style of doing things was really different from hers.

Because she is a person with an extremely deep mind. She can do something to you in a very deep way, and you will be unaware of it and feel grateful to her.

That's why Yang Luoliu said that if Li Ling wanted to kill him, he wouldn't be able to detect it at all.

As for why Li Ling would act so stupidly, Yang Luoliu couldn't figure it out, or rather, he guessed it but didn't dare to confirm its authenticity.

One of them was lying down, the other was standing, one was looking at the sky, the other was looking at the ground.

If they smelled blood outside the fence and heard the zombies roaring even louder, the two of them would have been in a terrible state if it weren't for the mess on the ground.

Snow flying all over the sky, basketball court, two beautiful women, how can it not be pleasing to the eyes and warm?

But there are no ifs.

"Why don't you kill me?"

"Why are you trying to kill me?"

The two spoke at the same time. Li Ling's voice was extremely weak, but when you listened carefully, you could hear a sense of confusion and helplessness that she herself didn't even understand.

But Yang Luoliu was the complete opposite. All the hostility in his body faded away, even the sadness in his eyes disappeared. He looked at Li Ling on the ground as if he was looking at a stranger.

The only emotion in his eyes was a hint of confusion, and even his eyes were not red, so Yang Luoliu's voice did not fluctuate at all, as if he was asking an insignificant question, and it was okay if he didn't get an answer.

Li Ling seemed puzzled. She didn't understand why Yang Luoliu in front of her could be so calm, too calm, after knowing that she had killed her.

The ninja turned his head slightly to see the pain in his body, but when he met Yang Luoliu's eyes without any emotion, Li Ling's heart trembled.

An unknown emotion spread over her body, and there seemed to be a touch of warmth that wanted to escape from the frame. Thinking that it was tears, Li Ling turned her head instantly and continued to look at the sky.

As if trying to divert her attention from tears, or perhaps for some other reason, Li Ling answered Yang Luoliu's words with a trembling voice.

"Because I like Hua Xiangwan."

When Yang Luoliu heard this, he felt it was ridiculous. As soon as this thought came out, Yang Luoliu didn't want to listen to what Li Ling said next.

But Li Ling seemed to know what Yang Luoliu was thinking. After saying this, she laughed at herself and continued without much pause.

"Don't you think it's ridiculous? But that's the truth."

"I am the adopted daughter of the Hua family from the orphanage."

It seemed that the words "orphanage" and "adopted daughter" made Yang Luoliu, who was about to leave, stop where he was.

Feeling that the people around her did not move, Li Ling took a deep breath before speaking again.

"That's how it is for wealthy families. They want a good reputation, everyone understands. I don't have much hope for the Hua family, but it's definitely better than the orphanage anyway."

"But the person I met was Wanwan. She was so beautiful that she warmed my entire life."

As if thinking of something beautiful, Li Ling's lips curled up into a gentle smile, her eyes filled with longing.

"I just fell into this tenderness without hesitation. Even if they all say that I am the most loyal dog around Wanwan, so what? I am willing to do it."

"By the time I realized it, I had fallen head over heels in love with my own god, even though I was such a despicable person. But how could a god be tainted by darkness? I put away all my dirty thoughts and just be a good and obedient dog beside her, so what?"

"But the end of the world has come, and at that moment I was actually happy. I despicably wondered if I would have the chance to stand beside the gods."

"Things are indeed developing in a positive direction, and I'm carefully maintaining our relationship."

But after saying this, I don’t know what Li Ling was thinking about. Her originally gentle smile gradually faded, carrying with it endless sadness.

"Until I brought you back to the base, you started to shine again. By the time I wanted to stop you, it was too late. You two were like the protagonists of this world. You were so well-matched, so well-matched that I couldn't even fit in."

"At that time I thought, it doesn't matter, as long as it's what Wanwan thinks about her, as long as she's happy, it's fine."

"But everyone is jealous. It's this jealousy that's almost driving me crazy. Every time you come to ask me how I'm doing, I get even more jealous. Jealousy torments me and makes me say many things that go against my heart, just thinking that this way you two won't be together."

"At that time, we should think that if the three of us just stay friends like this, it would be fine as well."

"It's just that this world is playing a joke on me. I've already been content with the status quo, but then I heard Hua Xiangqing wanted to match you up with Wanwan."

"Why? It's just because he thinks you can protect Wanwan in the base and consolidate his position in the base. But I'm not bad either, right? Why can't I do that?"

"I'm not willing to accept this. I'm the one who's been with Wanwan the longest, and I'm the one he's most familiar with. Why can't it be me?"

When Li Ling said this, her eyes were filled with strong reluctance, but underneath the reluctance was a strong sadness.

The originally calm tone gradually became hoarse.

"Everything is just because you came. Everything is because of you, Yang Luoliu. Do you know? Hua Xiangqing hates homosexuality the most, but you showed up and made him relent. Why? On what basis?"

When Yang Luoliu heard what Li Ling said, her eyes trembled. At this moment, Yang Luoliu had no desire to listen any further.

She moved her feet, as if she wanted to leave, but before leaving, Yang Luoliu closed her eyes and interrupted Li Ling.

"Do you know why Hua Xiangwan keeps looking for me?"

Li Ling, who had already gone a little crazy, miraculously stopped when she heard this, but Yang Luoliu did not pay attention to Li Ling's condition behind her.

He didn't care whether Li Ling was listening or not, or whether she could hear him or not, he just kept talking to himself.

"Because she likes you, but doesn't dare to say it out loud, so she can only let me feel you out."

"And the reason Hua Xiangqing changed her mind wasn't because of me, but because of Hua Xiangwan."

"Without your knowledge, Hua Xiangwan has also done a lot."
