Chapter 134 Xiao Niang's Past 9
Yu Niang did not intend to accept the puppy that Li Zhao sent to her at first.
It was not because he did not like puppies, but because he thought he could not bear the responsibility of taking care of a life.
He had picked up stray dogs before, and originally thought he could raise the dogs himself, but later he was often hospitalized due to health reasons, and the task of raising dogs fell on Yu Lin.
Yu Ni does not remember what happened afterwards, but he has no memory of the second dog, and he should not have accepted the puppy from Li Zhao at that time.
Besides... this world is just virtual, and he will eventually leave here.
"Don't you like dogs?" Li Zhao was obviously a little surprised by Yu Nu's refusal, "But I think this little guy likes you very much."
As he spoke, the puppy in his arms began to "whine" restlessly again, raising its paws to pounce into Yu Nu's arms.
Yu Nu's hands were itchy, and she raised a finger modestly for the puppy to hold, but still shook her head to refuse.
Li Zhao thought for a while.
"How about this, I'll keep him at my house," Li Zhao noticed that the puppy started to chew Yu Nu's finger. Li Zhao pulled him back reluctantly, causing the puppy to howl angrily. "But this is a gift from me to you. You are his owner. You should come to see him often, right?"
Yu Nu hesitated for a moment, "... to your house?"
"Yes!" Li Zhao nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, I'm the only one at home."
Yu Nu did not agree immediately.
It was not because she didn't want to see the puppy, but because of Li Zhao's face.
Today's Li Zhao looked different from the Li Zhao he had seen before. It was not that his facial features had changed, but that he was much more cheerful and his face was no longer always gloomy.
——Although different from Qin Du, he was closer in demeanor.
Yu Nu shook his head and shook Qin Du out.
No matter how he thought about it, Li Zhao shouldn't be Qin Du. He couldn't always think of the two of them as the same person.
There are so many props in the infinite world, maybe Qin Du's face was based on Li Zhao?
Thinking of this, Yu Xi had a flash of inspiration, "Li Zhao, is there anyone around you called 'Qin Du'?"
Li Zhao paused for a moment while touching the dog's head, and then continued to touch it as if nothing had happened, "No, I've never heard of this name."
He raised his head and stared at Yu Xi as if nothing had happened, "What's wrong? Is it a friend you know?"
... Why is the reaction the same as Tan Lingqi's.
"Not a friend," Yu Xi said, "Oh, it's okay, I just asked casually."
Li Zhao didn't know how to ask more at this point. There was no abnormality in his expression, but there was a huge wave of turmoil in his heart.
It can't be such a coincidence, so it can't be the same name.
Yu Zhen... couldn't possibly be a player of the Infinite World like him.
How could he possibly endure the rules of life and death elimination in the Infinite World with his condition? If he was really selected, he would have been eaten up long ago.
Did someone around mention Qin Du to Yu Zhen? Saying that he looks like Qin Du?
Who could it be? Yu Lin? Qin Lingqi?
"Why didn't Qin Lingqi come today?" Li Zhao secretly probed, "You two have a very close relationship, right? He should have come on such an important day."
Yu Zhen got a little angry when she mentioned this.
"I don't know what he's been doing recently. He doesn't reply to my messages or answer my calls," Yu Nu said angrily. "He said he would come on my birthday, but today there was no sign of him."
The more Yu Nu spoke, the more aggrieved she felt. Her nose started to feel sore. "I'm starting to hate Tan Lingqi now."
"Did you have a fight with Tan Lingqi?" Li Zhao pretended to be considerate and suppressed his subtle joy. "Even if you had a fight, you can't be like this. Everyone is here for my birthday today. How could he..."
"Well, but maybe Qin Lingqi wanted to give you a surprise. It's really noisy with so many people here today. Qin Lingqi might come after everyone leaves."
Yu Zhen became even angrier, "He didn't reply to my message, which means he didn't want to come."
Li Zhao pretended to comfort her with a few words. It sounded like he was making excuses for Qin Lingqi, but in fact, every time he said it, it was like pouring fuel on the fire, which made Yu Zhen very annoyed. In the end, she would get angry whenever she mentioned Qin Lingqi.
Until the party ended and everyone left in twos and threes, Yu Yan and Li Zhao said goodbye and stood at the door for a while. Yu Lin called him from the house, "Don't wait."
Yu Yan looked at Yu Lin, who noticed the sad and disappointed expression of his brother. In the end, he still couldn't say the words to scold Tan Lingqi. He rarely excused him, "... Recently, the Tan family probably had an accident. There must be a reason why he didn't tell you."
He stretched out his arm to hold Yu Yan and smiled, "What if he secretly climbed over the wall to see you tonight?"
Yu Yan's cheeks blushed.
It turned out that Yu Lin knew everything.
It was also because of Yu Lin's words that Yu Yan felt better and even waited until the evening with a secret expectation.
Twelve o'clock arrived.
Yu Zhen opened the window and looked down. The corner of the wall was clean and empty.
Qin Lingqi didn't come.
A car passed by outside, and the light shone directly on the window, which made Yu Zhen squint her eyes. She had to lower the window and draw the curtains.
He turned off the desk lamp, lay on the bed and covered himself with the quilt. He finally understood why he had forgotten Qin Lingqi before.
Not only Qin Lingqi's appearance, but also his voice, name, all the memories were completely forgotten.
Qin Lingqi was the one who didn't want him first, so he didn't want Qin Lingqi either.
Yu Zhen stared at the ceiling quietly, and then buried her head in the quilt silently.
Outside the villa, a black private car stopped in a hidden corner. The rear window slowly rolled down, revealing Qin Lingqi's pale face with visible veins.
The driver in front looked back at Qin Lingqi worriedly, "Are you really not going down to take a look?"
They had been looking here for a while, and the lights in the Yu family were all off.
Qin Lingqi shook his head and was about to say something, but before he could make a sound, he suddenly coughed violently.
The veins on the wrists exposed by the sleeves of his coat were bulging due to coughing, and the joints of his palms were distinct. Tan Lingqi had lost a lot of weight compared to a few months ago.
There was a moment of silence in the car, which made Tan Lingqi's cough particularly frightening.
Tan Lingqi reached out for the tissue paper in front of the seat with shaking hands, grabbed a dozen sheets, covered his mouth and coughed again.
The blood flowed through the seams of his fingers onto the tissue paper, instantly soaking the tissue paper and staining his hands.
The driver wanted to say something but stopped, unable to bear to watch any more, so he could only turn his head away and sigh secretly.
Master Tan's health had always been good before, why did it get worse and worse since this year?
.The
summer vacation was over in the blink of an eye.
The university that Yu Nu applied to was in a city in the south, not very close to her home, so Yu Lin excitedly decided to drive Yu Nu to school on the first day of school.
On the first day of school, Yu Nu naturally caused a sensation.
Just like the first day of junior high school and high school, Yu Lin followed Yu Nu closely behind, feeling proud and vigilant. Countless eyes in the crowd fell on Yu Nu, but most of them were blocked by Yu Lin.
——This is one of the reasons why Yu Lin must personally send Yu Nu to school.
"Classmate, classmate," a senior student with a name tag came over and took the initiative to talk to Yu Xi, "Are you a freshman in the School of Computer Science? I'm the welcome senior of the School of Computer Science, I can help you carry your luggage--" "
He's not from the School of Computer Science." Yu Lin's expression was cold, and he took the initiative to interrupt the young senior student's chat for Yu Xi.
The senior student looked embarrassed and had to put his hand down again, "Oh, then which school are you from? I can take you there."
Yu Xi was very polite and answered obediently, "I'm a freshman in the School of Mathematics."
Seeing Yu Xi talking at such a close distance, even the senior student who had been prepared had a red face. For a while, he just stared at Yu Xi's face, and stood there in a daze.
"Okay, okay," he stepped forward and picked up Yu Lin's suitcase, "I'll take you there."
"Thank you."
The senior student was full of energy, with his chest puffed out, dragging Yu Lin's schoolbag and luggage all the way, and blushing as he led them to the welcome point of the School of Mathematics.
Along the way, there were other bold students who wanted to get close to Yu Lin, but they were all forced back by Yu Lin's extremely oppressive aura.
When they arrived at the School of Mathematics, several seniors in the booth looked at Yu Lin behind the student from the School of Computer Science.
What a cute little junior.
The seniors of the School of Mathematics rushed to stand up, and just as they were about to talk to Yu Lin, a freshman walked over and interrupted them.
"Hello, is this the School of Computer Science and Technology?"
The senior from the School of Mathematics was too lazy to turn his head, but when he looked at the cute junior in front of him, he suddenly said, "Eh... Li Zhao?"
The freshman who asked the question was Li Zhao. He turned his head and was surprised to see Yu Xi. "You are also in this school?"
The seniors present only saw Li Zhao's face clearly.
"Junior, do you know each other?" Someone looked at Li Zhao's handsome face and his heart was alarmed. "...Are you a classmate?"
Yu Xi was about to answer yes, but Li Zhao answered first, "A friend."
The seniors became more alert.
Friend...what friend?
Li Zhao was not in a hurry to find the location of the School of Computer Science. He looked at the sign hanging on the booth and asked, "You applied for the mathematics major?"
While asking, Li Zhao took the suitcase of Yu Xi from the senior of the School of Computer Science quite naturally, "Let me do it."
Yu Xi stared at Li Zhao for a long time, and was a little stunned for a moment.
It was less than two months since they last met, and Li Zhao's temperament has changed drastically.
...If you have to say it, Li Zhao now looks more like Qin Du.
"Why are you staring at me?" Yu Lin was helping Yu Xi with the formalities in the distance, so Li Zhao moved a little closer, "Is there something on my face?"
Yu Xi did not deny or confirm, "I just think you... have changed a lot."
Li Zhao smiled with a frown.
The two of them went upstairs one after the other. Li Zhao helped drag Yu Nu's suitcase to the male dormitory floor of the School of Mathematics, and began to clean up Yu Nu very attentively.
Yu Nu tried to stop him several times but failed, so she had to give up.
"Speaking of which, I have suddenly become interested in philosophy recently," Li Zhao said as he made Yu Nu's bed and started chatting with her. "Dante introduced seven evil deeds of human beings in "The Divine Comedy", which are pride, jealousy, wrath, laziness, greed, gluttony and lust."
"In fact, we all have the shadow of the seven deadly sins to a greater or lesser extent. For example, greed, according to Dante's explanation, is the desire to possess more things than what is needed." "
Xiao Nu, what sins do you think you have committed?"
Yu Nu didn't understand what Li Zhao meant.
Li Zhao didn't seem to expect Yu Xi to answer immediately, but just smiled and said, "If you ask me, you have committed the sin of lust. Although you don't love others too much, you make others flock to you."
