Chapter 351, Make a Wish
There is a wide platform on the top floor of the Zhaixing Building. It used to be the best place to watch the sunrise and admire the starry sky. However, no one has been here for a long time, and all the tables and chairs on the platform are covered with thick dust and look dilapidated.
By the time she reached the roof, Chen Yao was sweating profusely. She took off her coat, tied it around her waist, walked around the platform, and returned to Qin Huai.
"I checked, there are no zombies here."
The smile in Qin Huai's eyes became brighter and brighter: "If there are zombies, will you protect me?"
"No." Chen Yao didn't even think about it. "You are a superpower, shouldn't you protect me?"
Qin Huai nodded: "Well, what you said makes sense."
"But, Qin Huai, you have never been the kind of good person who would protect others." Shen Yao showed a distressed expression, "You only know how to kill people - you killed that innocent girl, killed Min He, and killed my grandfather. You are a bad person."
The smile in the man's eyes faded. He looked quietly at the distressed girl beside him and said softly, "Yes, I'm not a good person."
"Well, you are not a good person." Shen Yao sighed.
Qin Huai asked softly: "Chen Yao, I'm not a good person, do you hate me?"
The girl thought for a moment and muttered, "I did dislike you at first, especially when you stayed at my house and refused to leave, and even hurt Aqin and Gu Yunqing. I hated you so much!"
I wasn't surprised by the answer. "Now what?"
Shen Yao showed a hesitant expression, her eyes wandering, and after turning around twice, she hummed reluctantly: "Now, it's not so annoying."
Qin Huai was not surprised by this answer and did not ask any further questions.
He took her hand and walked to the bench on the platform. He took off his coat and spread it on it: "Sit down."
Shen Yao sat down, and seeing that he was still standing, she moved to the side and patted her side: "You sit down too."
It really is, it’s completely different from before.
Qin Huai sat down beside her as she said: "Look at the stars, and remember to make a wish when you see a shooting star."
Shen Yao responded: "Qin Huai, do you have a wish?"
"Me?" The man said without a second thought, "No."
"Really? You're so pitiful." Shen Yao touched his head and sighed, "It's so pitiful for a person to live without any wishes."
The man laughed and agreed with her: "It's quite pitiful."
He had no wishes, because he knew that such things were useless. No one except himself would care whether he had wishes or not.
"Qin Huai, I have many wishes. If you don't have any, I can give you one." After Chen Yao finished speaking, she folded her hands in front of her and said generously, "I hope Qin Huai can have a smooth life, peace and happiness."
Qin Huai was stunned when he heard the light voice.
After Chen Yao finished speaking, she was the first to lose her temper: "Alas, without a shooting star, the wish won't come true."
She looked up at the starry sky, opened her hands, and shouted, "Come on, a shooting star! I want to make a wish!"
Under the starry sky, the thin girl looks particularly small.
She cupped her hands into a trumpet shape and placed them around her mouth, repeating the same sentence over and over again, knowing that such persistence was meaningless.
Qin Huai stared at the girl who was calling out for a long time without looking away.
He forgot how long she had been shouting. Later, he had no strength left and leaned back in his chair, mumbling, "Can't I see a single shooting star? I can't be so unlucky, can't I? Can ...
She always insists on doing something strange, regardless of whether there is any reward or not.
Even if there is absolutely no reward.
Qin Huai sighed and was about to tell the girl not to insist when the people around him suddenly jumped up: "Qin Huai! Meteor! Meteor!"
Without waiting for his answer, she folded her hands in front of her and repeated her wish earnestly: "I hope Qin Huai can have a smooth life, peace and happiness."
He has suffered a lot and hurt many people. She knows that her wish is selfish, but if possible, she still prays that he can stay away from killing and disputes and live the rest of his life in peace and smoothly.
While she was making a wish, Qin Huai just looked at her quietly.
There was a gleam in his eyes and a smile on his lips. When he looked at her, he was so focused that it seemed as if he had taken the whole world into his eyes.
——How stupid! I waited so long for a shooting star, but I prayed for someone who is insignificant.
…
He didn't see the shooting star she mentioned. After she made her wish, he grabbed her hand and said, "Now that you've made your wish, let's go back."
Shen Yao was led by him for two steps, and couldn't help but be curious: "Qin Huai, did you make a wish?"
"No." The man's voice became colder. "I don't believe this."
"I don't believe it?" Chen Yao said, "But didn't you say you would make a wish on a shooting star?"
If you don't believe it, why would you make a wish?
"Yes..." Qin Huai said, "I heard it from others when I was a child. My family sold me to the laboratory when I was young. When I first arrived at the laboratory, I had never suffered any hardship. I kept thinking about escaping, and then I was caught and brought back... Later, I met someone who took me out of the laboratory secretly and went to the garden to watch the stars."
"Ah, was that the person who told you to make a wish when you see a shooting star?"
"Um."
"Qin Huai, that person..." After listening to his description, Shen Yao asked tentatively, "Is it the dead girl?"
She always remembered the girl who died to cover his escape from the base - she gave him her true heart, and then sacrificed her young life for him.
"The dead girl?" Qin Huai was stunned for a moment, remembering who she was talking about, "That person..."
"Qin Huai, is there a girl you've liked before?"
She didn't know why she suddenly started to worry about this problem, but whenever she thought of that girl, her heart felt like a thorn, tight and painful.
"I like her..." Qin Huai could no longer remember what that girl looked like. "Who told you that I like that girl?"
"Seventh Brother said so."
"Si Xu?" Qin Huai sneered, "He's been single for twenty-six years, how could he know what love is?"
"Seventh brother heard it from Gu Yunqing!" Chen Yao also felt that Si Xu was not convincing, so she brought up Gu Yunqing.
"Gu Yunqing? Wasn't he completely dominated by Su Qin from the beginning to the end? Even Su Qin was the one who confessed her love first... hehe."
Chen Yao: “…”
She suddenly became angry, stopped and tugged at Qin Huai's sleeve tightly: "So do you like that person or not? Have you ever loved her, Qin Huai?"
"No." The man laughed sarcastically, "That woman wasn't doing it for me at all."
She felt like she had heard some incredible gossip. Even though she knew her thoughts were wrong, she still felt a smug joy in her heart: "Ah? She, doesn't she like you very much...?"
"She doesn't like me." Not wanting to continue talking about that stupid woman, Qin Huai dragged the motionless girl downstairs. "The cooperation between us is just based on common interests. We don't even have the most basic trust."
They were just exploiting each other. The woman died because she was too stupid. Not only was she stupid, but she was also greedy and always coveted things that did not belong to her.
