Chapter 98
Xu's only beautiful wish was dashed. Not long after the countdown ended, the gold coins scattered on the ground disappeared without a trace along with the bloody corpses of the ghosts.
The sky was clear, the grass was green, the breeze was gentle, and the playground returned to peace. It seemed as if the horrific scene just now had never happened.
In the peaceful atmosphere, Dina's figure slowly emerged again.
"Congratulations on passing the first round." She smiled, but her eyes were cold, and she looked dissatisfied with the result. "There is water and food here. You can rest for an hour. During this time, the playground is absolutely safe."
As she finished speaking, two packages appeared on the open ground in front of her. The packages were open, and bottled water and bread and biscuits could be seen inside.
Yu Qian's mouth had been dry for a long time, and she was delighted to see the supplies. However, her joy barely lasted a few seconds before she heard Dina continue, "The second round of the test will begin in an hour. Please adjust your condition and be prepared as soon as possible."
Then her figure slowly disappeared into the air, as if melted by the sunlight.
"What do you think the second round of tests will be?"
On the bench under the shade of a tree, Yu Qian asked the people around him.
A countdown appeared above my head again. Because it was break time, the font this time was a peaceful white, like clouds blown away by the wind.
"If it corresponds to the wedding vows..."
Xu Weiyi unscrewed a bottle of water and drank half of it in one gulp. Then he continued, "The first round was 'Rich and Poverty,' and the second round should be 'Health and Disease.'"
Yu Qian opened the bread in her hand, took a bite, and her eyes widened slightly.
The bread Dina provided them was the most ordinary kind found in convenience stores, something she would never even glance at before, let alone buy.
But maybe it was because she hadn't tasted food for a long time, or maybe she had just consumed too much energy, she actually thought it tasted very good.
But do the dead need to eat? Is she still dead now?
Could it be that she came back to life briefly here?
Yu Qian temporarily put aside the messy questions and returned to the main topic.
She swallowed the food in her mouth. "Does that mean one of us will get sick?"
In the first round of tests, one is rich and the other is poor. So in the second round of tests, one will be healthy and the other will be sick.
Xu Weiyi nodded, "It's possible."
So, who will be sick this time?
Will we be able to choose on our own like in the first round, or will it be random?
Yu Qian thought about it and slowly finished the bread in her hand.
"What if? I mean what if." Yu Qian crumpled the package into a ball and held it in her palm. "If we really got married, and then I was seriously injured or seriously ill, you would definitely leave immediately."
This was a question she had just thought of out of nowhere, and because she wanted to know the answer, she just asked it.
Xu Weiyi said, "No."
Yu Qian was stunned and her heart skipped a beat.
She had already prepared herself mentally to hear Xu Weiyi say things like "Of course" and "Is there any need to ask?" and then mock her.
Unexpectedly, Xu Weiyi actually said no, which made it impossible for her to do it.
She doesn't like to hear "yes", and she feels uncomfortable when I say "no". She is really a mean person.
Yu Qian thought with self-mockery.
Then she heard Xu Weiyi slowly explain, "What I meant is, I won't leave right away. I'll find another place to stay before leaving."
Yu Qian: ...So you still want to squeeze out every last bit of value from her, right?
Forget it, forget it. This is what Xu Weiyi would say.
She glanced at the girl next to her and said, "How dare you do this to me? I'll find another partner."
Xu Weiyi remained unmoved and sneered, "Haven't you been looking for it?"
Yu Qian was speechless.
She had no objection to this, but her relationship with Xu Weiyi was just a transaction of money and sex, and shouldn't be bound by the rules between lovers. Shouldn't it be enough for both parties to reach an agreement and have a happy transaction?
So she retorted, "Isn't it the same for you? If someone else gave you money, you would also be willing to follow them."
Xu Weiyi blurted out, "I didn't."
Yu Qian: “Huh?”
She opened her mouth, unable to believe what she heard, "What are you talking about?"
"I mean, not just anyone can do it." Xu Weiyi gathered her long hair to cover her red ears. "She also has to look like someone I like."
Yu Qian was so angry that she laughed, "You still picked it? Do you know how difficult it is to find a job nowadays?"
"Why do you have so many questions?" Xu Weiyi rolled his eyes at her. "Is it my turn to ask?"
Yu Qian was annoyed, "What do you want to ask?"
Xu Weiyi lowered his eyes and whispered something.
Yu Qian didn't hear clearly, "What?"
Xu Weiyi was silent for two seconds, then suddenly raised his voice, "I say, why do you always treat her like a child?"
Yu Qian was startled by her, but she heard her voice drop again, "I'm only 20 years old."
It's "she" again.
Yu Qian's eyes moved, and her expression was complicated.
It seems that Xu Weiyi really cares.
When Yu Qian first met Cheng Hua, she was a sophomore in college. While Cheng Hua appeared well-behaved, that was only on the surface. She had violated school rules and regulations numerous times and had been held back two years, so she was already 22 years old.
Cheng Hua behaves like a cat in front of Yu Qian. She is cute most of the time, and she can be willful just right, not really annoying.
At that time, Xu Weiyi had just turned 20 years old, but she had not continued her studies since graduating from junior high school. She had rich social experience and no student spirit at all.
Yu Qian sometimes gets the ages of two people mixed up.
The reason is very simple. When a small white flower and a cactus appear at the same time, people tend to think that the small white flower is naive, while the cactus has been through a lot; the small white flower needs careful care, while the cactus only needs occasional watering.
So sometimes when she mentioned Cheng Hua, she would say things like "She is still young and doesn't understand these things", or "She just has a childish temper and is a little willful".
Xu Weiyi usually just listened, and occasionally expressed different opinions, saying that Cheng Hua was already 22 years old and was not a child at all.
But Yu Qian would always retort, saying that Cheng Hua was spoiled and had a young mindset, and would act like a child and act spoiled, so she would make such an evaluation.
At that time, Xu Weiyi listened nonchalantly and spoke in a very flat tone, so Yu Qian always thought that she didn't take Cheng Hua seriously at all, let alone be jealous of her.
However, combined with Xu Weiyi's series of abnormal behaviors after arriving here, the situation became a little subtle.
Yu Qian's throat rolled, and she asked casually, "Are you jealous?"
After asking, she felt that she was going to be embarrassed again. Xu Weiyi had never given her a good look since they met. She was afraid that he would take the opportunity to rebuke her again.
She turned the broken wedding ring on her finger and was about to say something to save herself, but she heard a soft "hmm" from the person next to her.
Yu Qian paused and looked sideways, "What did you say?"
Xu Weiyi was silent for a moment, then said coldly, "I'm just jealous."
It is difficult for Yu Qian to describe her feelings at this moment.
It was as if an untamable little beast suddenly lost its arrogance, no longer bared its fangs and claws, but instead exposed its wounds to others.
Even a seasoned hunter would feel pity.
So she couldn't help but slow down her tone, "Then why didn't you say it at the time."
Xu Weiyi asked, "What good will it do if I tell you?"
"What I said, I..."
Yu Qian was stunned by the question.
At that time, Xu Weiyi was not able to please her, so her attitude towards him was also very ordinary. Even if Xu Weiyi said it, she would probably just be surprised and not take it seriously, or even tease him maliciously.
Later, she separated from Xu Weiyi and they were separated again and again. Although the process was not pleasant for her, the impression Xu Weiyi left on her became deeper and deeper, and the emotions involved became more and more complicated.
Xu Weiyi smiled, "See, it's hypocritical."
Yu Qian wanted to say something, but saw the countdown in the air reset to zero.
So the words on my lips became, "It's time."
Dina appeared in front of the two as promised, but this time her hands were empty, without any props.
"I believe that after resting, you two have some guesses about the content of the second round of tests."
Dina seemed to have heard their conversation and smiled. "In that case, I won't keep you in suspense."
After saying that, she raised her hand and snapped her fingers.
Yu Qian held her breath, but there seemed to be no changes around her. When she was wondering, she heard a low cry from beside her.
Then a force came from her shoulder, pulling her body to the side.
Yu Qian quickly turned her head to look, and then her eyes fixed.
Xu Weiyi's left leg, the part below the knee disappeared out of thin air. The incision was smooth and there was no wound, as if it had never existed.
The incident happened suddenly, and Xu Weiyi reflexively supported her shoulders to prevent her from falling.
"Then please hold on until dawn."
As Dina's sweet voice rang out, the sky gradually darkened.
The blood-red countdown that appeared on the deep blue sky was shocking, and this time it lasted for six hours.
Yu Qian's heart suddenly sank.
The two-hour first round of tests had already exhausted them. Could they really survive the six-hour test?
Moreover, Xu Weiyi's current situation...
Yu Qian lowered her gaze to look at the girl's mutilated left leg.
If they still had to run away desperately to survive, how did they last so long?
Xu Weiyi's face also looked very ugly, and his clear eyes became particularly gloomy. Against the backdrop of the night, they looked like the sky covered with dark clouds before a storm.
"Are you okay?" Yu Qian asked cautiously, "Does it hurt?"
She herself found it strange. In the first round, she needed Xu Weiyi's help, so it was natural for her to be humble. But now, no matter how you look at it, Xu Weiyi is the one who relies on her. The roles have been reversed, so why can't she speak with any more confidence?
It seemed that if I spoke a little louder, Xu Weiyi would get angry.
But what's the point of being angry? Why should she think about this?
Yu Qian rubbed her brows in frustration, trying to analyze the situation. "It must be because I was at a disadvantage in the first round, so it was your turn to be unlucky in the second round."
Xu Weiyi still didn't say anything, with his eyes lowered, no one knew what he was thinking.
"Speak up," Yu Qian said patiently, then suddenly thought of something and frowned. "Are you going to say something like 'Don't worry about me, just go ahead'?"
"What are you dreaming about?" Xu Weiyi finally spoke. She sneered, "If you dare to leave me, you'll be dead."
