Chapter 205, Testing Love
We have known each other for a while, and I don’t want them to end up on the same fateful path again.
In the original novel, when Huo Lingyin and Luo Rui first met, Huo Lingyin had a fight with Luo Rui because she teased Xie Chengzhi.
Although they returned to Beichen Base together in the end, Luo Rui sneered at her way of doing things, and the conflict between them became more and more obvious.
Because Huo Lingyin was isolated from the Huo family and had a bad relationship with Huo Sichan and Huo Lingge, after Huo Sichan passed away, Luo Rui helped Huo Lingge take control of the Huo family.
Later, there were rumors that Huo Sichan was poisoned by Huo Lingge. Huo Lingge listened to Luo Rui and arranged for the special power team to kill the first team where Huo Lingyin was.
The night before Luo Rui left Beichen Base, the psychic who was chasing Huo Lingyin brought back Huo Heng's head.
Huo Lingyin fell off a cliff and disappeared.
Huo Lingge held the man's head and cried out loudly.
In fact, at that time, the Beichen Base had almost fallen into Luo Rui's hands - although the person in power was Huo Lingge, she was just a puppet in Luo Rui's hands, and her every move was beyond her control.
At the end of the novel, after Luo Rui gained control of the Xiling base, she received news from the Beichen base.
Huo Linyin took advantage of the dark night and strong wind to break into the Huo family's old house, killed her own sister in the bed with her own hands, burned down the house, and disappeared again.
…
The feud between the Huo sisters ended with Huo Heng's death and Huo Lingyin killing her own sister.
"This ending could have been avoided." Jiang Ran stroked her aloof hair and recalled the plot of the novel - many details had become blurred with the passage of time. The only thing that impressed her was Huo Lingyin's crazy crying when she let the house burn.
"If there weren't so many grudges between the Huo sisters, it wouldn't give others the opportunity to take advantage." More importantly, if the Huo sisters had a deep relationship, Luo Rui would have lost the opportunity to control Huo Lingge.
"Si Xu." After finishing the story, Jiang Ran hugged Si Xu's arm and rubbed her cheek against his shoulder. "What are you thinking about? Why don't you say anything?"
Si Xu pursed his lips and looked at her, his expression conflicted: "Why don't you say it?"
"Huh?" Why didn't she say it? Didn't she say it?
"If they really have a deep relationship, why don't they say it? If Huo Heng really likes Huo Lingyin, why doesn't he say it?"
In men's cognition, this behavior can no longer be described as smart or stupid.
"I do not understand."
"Ah." Was this already a completely incomprehensible and bizarre behavior? Jiang Ran laughed.
"It's such a waste of time." Because it was so contrary to his understanding, Si Xu couldn't help but add a comment.
Jiang Ran laughed so hard that his shoulders trembled slightly.
Just reach out for what you want - not everyone in this world can do that.
Not everyone can express openly who they like and who they hate.
"Well, people are very complicated creatures. They like to hide their feelings. If too many secrets are exposed, they will feel insecure." Jiang Ran said, "Not everyone can be like you, expressing their emotions openly."
"But they are companions, family." Si Xu was not unaware of the forbearance and sophistication required when facing enemies or strangers. "You see, concealing feelings can easily lead to tragedy."
"Yeah, that's true." Jiang Ran didn't deny his words, "But, that's just how tsundere I am."
"This isn't tsundere, this is stupidity."
Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow: "Do you know what tsundere is?"
"...Gu Yunqing said that he was cute, tsundere, and three-no. When he was in the lab, he would hide a lot of discs under his bed."
"..." Jiang Ran's mouth twitched as he gave an objective evaluation, "In some aspects, Captain Gu can really be considered your teacher."
"Jiang Ran, don't change the subject." Si Xu was still struggling with the previous question, "Why didn't they say it?"
"There are so many misunderstandings that I'm embarrassed to express my good intentions." Jiang Ran was unsure, "... probably, that's it."
"Oh, that's easy." Si Xu asked her, "Are you sure Huo Heng likes Huo Lingyin?"
"Ah..." She was unsure. "When Huo Lingyin was in trouble, Huo Heng was the only one who stayed with her. In the end, to protect her and escape safely, he chose to divert the supernatural beings who were pursuing them, and he died in the process."
“…”
"If a man does this for a woman, he must like her, right?"
Hearing this, Si Xu opened the car door and pulled Jiang Ran out, like a child about to play a prank, with a smile in her peach blossom eyes: "Let's go and prove it."
"Proof?" Prove what? Huo Heng likes Huo Lingyin?
Jiang Ran passively followed Si Xu into the yard.
…
The balcony glass was broken by the attacking zombies, and the wind blew into the room at night.
Huo Lingyin wrapped the quilt tightly around herself and, with her psychic intuition, discovered that something was slightly wrong with the room. She opened her eyes slightly and was startled by the girl standing at the end of the bed.
"Jiang Ran!" Seeing who that person was, Huo Lingyin was almost furious. "What on earth do you want? Are you going to let me sleep or not..."
"Shh..." Jiang Ran made a silent gesture to her, "Come with me."
Huo Lingyin was furious: "No!"
"Si Xu went to talk to Huo Heng. I want to eavesdrop. Are you sure you don't want to come?" Jiang Ran said, and walked straight out of the room.
Si Xu went to find Huo Heng?
Worried that something might happen to the two of them, Huo Lingyin quickly put on her coat and followed Jiang Ran out.
After going downstairs, Deputy Captain Huo was stopped in the corner of the backyard by Si Xu, who had a gangster look on his face.
"Is Huo Lingyin your girlfriend?" the "rogue" asked.
Huo Heng looked puzzled. "No." He frowned. "Didn't Miss Jiang say that the captain's true love is Lingge?"
"You believe that kind of joke?" "Rogue" was very calm. "If Huo Lingyin wasn't your girlfriend, I would have brought her back to Xiling Base - it just so happens that my lab is in need of a girl like her."
Huo Heng was even more confused: "Mr. Si wants to take her back to the lab? What experiment is going on?"
"It's a virus," the "rogue" said nonsense. "It's rare to meet a female psychic with a high-level ability. It would be a waste to let her escape."
Huo Heng slowly frowned and said, "Mr. Si, Lingyin is the captain of our first team and will not go to Xiling with you."
"That's not necessarily true." The "rogue" was very narcissistic. "Doesn't she like my appearance?"
Huo Heng pursed his lips: "..."
"Actually, if she really were to be a test subject, Huo Lingyin wouldn't quite meet my requirements. She's slept with so many men, most of whom were psychics, unclean ones. The virus in her body might have been contaminated..."
"Mr. Si, please be careful with your words." Hearing the dirty words, the frown between Huo Heng's eyebrows deepened, and he interrupted Si Xu as if warning, "Since she doesn't meet your requirements, there is no need for you to be obsessed with her."
"Hey, I heard from Jiang Ran that Huo Lingyin forced you to do this and that with her?" Si Xu was surprised. "She forced you, why are you still defending her?"
"Si Xu!" There was clear anger in Huo Heng's eyes.
"Or, how about I help you kill Huo Lingyin and let you become the captain of the first team?"
"Shut up!" Anger slowly turned his fair face red.
"I also heard that you and Huo Lingge were childhood sweethearts. It just so happens that if you kill Huo Lingyin and become the captain, you can go back and marry Huo Lingge, killing two birds with one stone."
"I won't marry Lingge. I treat her as my sister!" Huo Heng corrected Si Xu and said coldly, "Also, as long as I'm here, I won't let you take the captain away. Mr. Si, you'd better give up this unrealistic idea as soon as possible."
Si Xu suddenly realized: "You are so angry, it seems that you really like Huo Lingyin?" He said with disdain, "What kind of vision do you have? That kind of woman..."
"Don't you dare say that about her!"
Huo Heng lost his mind due to the young man's harsh expression and words, and punched him in the face.
