Chapter 40 Don't Do This to Me Xie Shi didn't look at her again, and calmly followed...
Xie Shi didn't look at her again, and calmly followed the operating cart into the morgue.
Lin Xicai was extremely confused and did not pay close attention to the other implications of his words. She stood there in a daze for a moment and then followed him.
I checked the time halfway through and was afraid that the original owner's mother would worry, so I called to report that I would not be going back tonight because a friend was in a bad mood and she wanted to accompany her.
The original owner's mother hesitated, then pressed the question: "Was it a boy or a girl?" Lin Xicai choked and said, "Of course it's a girl." The original owner's mother then asked who it was. Lin Xicai paused, figuring Xiang Ling wouldn't actually verify it. She then pulled Xiang Ling in to shield her from the question, then gave her a few more instructions, which was considered an agreement.
Lin Xicai sat on a bench outside the morgue, her uniform wet and sticking to her body, and she was very cold.
The lights were on in the corridor, but perhaps it was a psychological effect, any slight movement would make her feel uneasy.
She was so abnormal today - even she herself felt that this kindness was strange and unnecessary, and her every move today was not her style.
Normally, when Xie Shi pushed her into the taxi, she wouldn't have looked back...
She felt sorry for him.
And this heartache has reached a level that makes her ashamed to admit it.
The door beside her opened and closed again. Lin Xicai looked up in a daze, and looked up along the wet uniform, seeing a silent and desolate face.
"Let me stay," she said, "even though I may not be able to help you."
Xie Shi didn't say anything and sat down next to her.
The two men sat in silence on the bench outside the morgue from dusk until nightfall.
Lin Xicai sat there with her head down. As midnight approached, she became anxious again. She unconsciously held the watch on her wrist tightly, and the frequency of looking down at the watch became more and more frequent.
Finally, after looking down at the time again, she couldn't help but speak, her voice a little anxious: "There's only half an hour left, are you really not going to try again?"
Xie Shi didn't say anything.
Time was still passing by minute by minute, and Lin Xicai was almost unable to sit still.
"Fifteen minutes left."
"...Ten minutes, only ten minutes left. Have you really thought it through?"
Lin Xicai grabbed Xie Shi's wrist and reported the time for the last time, her voice almost trembling. "Five minutes, the last five minutes. If we don't do something now, it will really be too late."
Xie Shi finally raised his eyes at this moment, his Adam's apple rolling up and down. After a while, he seemed helpless, yet also self-deprecating, "Do you think I'm a god? That requires conditions."
"Conditions? What kind of conditions..."
As he spoke, the pointer on the dial had already passed zero. Lin Xicai's voice choked and her eyes became wet in an instant.
Everything is irreversible, the people inside are really dead.
She lowered her head, and something flowed out of her eyes, drop by drop, falling onto her thighs.
There was so much sadness in my chest, so much that it was suffocating. For a moment, I couldn't tell whether it was for the person lying inside or the person sitting next to me.
Xie Shi had been acting indifferent, but at this moment, he stared at those red eyes, gently touched her eyelids with his thumb, and suddenly felt a pang of pain in his heart.
A new day has arrived.
At around seven o'clock, people from the funeral home came to pick up the body.
Xie Shi handled the aftermath in an orderly manner, skillfully, mechanically, and calmly. Lin Xicai always followed him like a little tail, silently, without leaving his side.
Until the very end, she accompanied him to complete everything. As the two of them walked out of the funeral home holding the urn, Xie Shi suddenly glanced at her and said something that was a bit confusing, "You've seen how disgusting this world is."
Lin Xicai looked at him, somewhat confused, "What?"
Xie Shi lowered his eyes and said the second half of the sentence in his heart: So you must leave, okay.
…
Lin Xicai returned home before seven o'clock in the afternoon. She went back to her room and started to daydream.
I took out the exercise books and test papers from my backpack and spread them out on the table, but I couldn't continue studying. I didn't even need to close my eyes. All I could think about was that person's gloomy and calm face.
At some moment, Lin Xicai even had some absurd thoughts - for example, if the strategy mission had not been modified, and it was not her who came to this world, would his situation be better than it is now?
Those people's mission was to capture him. Regardless of whether they were sincere or not, they would at least do a lot for him, at least pay close attention to him, at least...
Lin Xicai closed her textbook and buried her face in her arms.
It's all fake - she told herself this more than once, but she didn't know when she started to get into the role.
After dinner, Lin Xicai went to wash the dishes. While washing the dishes, she vaguely felt that she seemed to have forgotten something. It was not until she finished washing the dishes and returned to the room that she suddenly realized what the thing she had forgotten was.
Lin Xicai returned to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and saw some rice and leftovers inside. She immediately took them out, heated them in the microwave, put them in a food box and took them back to the room.
She had been in the hospital all night and had completely forgotten that there was someone waiting to be fed. Fortunately, there were always other instant meals available, so if she missed a dinner, he wouldn't starve to death.
When Lin Xicai entered, Li Ci was sitting upright on the sofa in the living room, his body stiff as a man waiting for his wife. There were two torn books on the carpet, which were exactly the ones Lin Xicai brought over last time.
Lin Xicai appeared there with a lunch box. Li Ci looked over in just a second. Hatred smoldered in his eyes, mixed with an inexplicable desire. "Yesterday...why didn't you come yesterday?"
Lin Xicai walked over and placed the lunch box on the coffee table. Almost at the same time, someone grabbed her wrist. Li Ci's skin was pale, and his narrow eyes were blurry and hot. He stared at her, as if to trap her with his eyes. "Why... why didn't you come?"
Lin Xicai frowned, "Are you questioning me?"
She forcibly pulled her hand away, a hint of sarcasm flashing across her eyes. "Do I need to report to you whether I'm coming or not, or where I'm going? Li Ci, don't you think this question is ridiculous?"
Li Ci's hand froze there after being thrown away. He seemed to remember his situation, and his expression suddenly became painful and distorted. "Don't do this to me."
His voice was too soft for Lin Xicai to hear clearly. "What?"
"Don't do this to me," Li Ci looked up at her, his voice hoarse and painful, "Whatever you want me to do, just don't do this to me."
Lin Xicai sat down on the sofa and stared at him for a while. "Anything is fine with me?" She suddenly smiled. "Then tell me, what can you do?"
Li Ci was stunned for a moment, his expression dazed for a moment, he lowered his head and looked over, he saw her sarcastic eyes and a delicate and beautiful face as white as jade and porcelain.
Then, under her sarcastic gaze, Li Ci leaned forward slightly and moved his face closer to her little by little.
Inch by inch, as he got closer, he could almost smell her breath, the subtle fragrance on her body. His heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by a pair of hands, suffocating him and driving him crazy.
Lin Xicai looked at his face coldly as she approached him, and could clearly see the fear and desire in his eyes. She observed every subtle expression of his, and his nervousness and piety made her feel ridiculous.
When he was almost about to kiss her, her hand rose and placed on his slender, fragile neck, strangling his further approach.
"Are you trying to please me, or are you rewarding yourself?"
She applied a little pressure, causing Li Ci's Adam's apple to roll up and down in her hand. Lin Xicai looked at him, tracing the shape of his lips with her eyes. Her expression was gentle and harmless, but her voice was as cold as ice. "How many people have you kissed with these lips? You don't find them dirty, but I do. Li Ci, what are you thinking? How dare you try to please me in this way?"
She removed her hand from his neck, moved her fingertips upwards, and gently touched his high nose bridge. "Is it because of this rather handsome face?"
Lin Xicai pushed him away, seeming a little regretful. "What a pity! I've seen better and more beautiful women, and they're cleaner than you."
Li Ci's body froze there, her originally pale complexion stained with a strange color, and the complex emotions in her eyes suddenly became sharp, as if she couldn't help but want to tear her apart and eat her. "What did you say?"
Lin Xicai was unmoved by his bluffing. She stood up from the sofa with a disappointed expression. "Look, you're yelling at me again, Li Ci. You lose because you're always so impatient."
Lin Xicai was about to leave after saying this, but a hand carefully grabbed the corner of her clothes.
The two of them paused there, and Li Ci's slightly trembling voice came from behind, "Don't go. Please..."
Li Ci held the corner of her clothes tightly, as if he had grasped the only hope. What did sarcasm mean to him? He wanted her to stay.
His only bargaining chip is himself. If she doesn't care about him, he has no bargaining chip at all. If he wants something, he can only beg her.
The word "beg" is something he despised and had no use for in his life for more than ten years. It was always others who begged him, and he never thought that one day he would show such a humble and disgusting attitude in front of others.
This person is even the daughter of a damned lowly servant.
He actually spoke to a servant's daughter in such a tone, flattering her and begging her, like a drug addict, like a starving dog that had lost its home.
But he had no choice. He wanted her more than any dignity or backbone. He wanted her to stay, even for just one more minute or a second.
He was addicted, she was his poison, he was starving, she was his food, his desire for her was beyond his imagination, beyond his endurance, he couldn't bear it, he really couldn't bear it! He could only beg her, beg her to give him a look, a little closer, a little companionship...
He was so humble and begged her so much, but the next moment, his hands were empty and this person disappeared lightly, like a wisp of mist that floated in and out.
Li Ci was stunned, his eyes fierce. Yes, this bitch, this bitch is so hard-hearted, how could she stay?
He hated her, he hated her so much, an uncontrollable manic emotion almost overwhelmed him, this bitch deserved to die, when he saw her again, when he saw her again, he would definitely...
As he lost control, the figure that made him hate and desire reappeared. The man came back with a schoolbag in his hand.
Li Ci stared at her, his pupils shrank slightly, and he stood there in a daze.
Lin Xicai ignored him and walked around the living room with her schoolbag, looking for something but couldn't find what she was looking for. She looked a little irritated. Finally, her eyes fell on the dining table. She walked over with her schoolbag and reluctantly sat down at a seat.
Lin Xicai sat in that position, pursed her lips, and took out the exercise book from her schoolbag.
Li Ci stared at her straight, his eyes glued to her, never leaving her for a single second.
His chest was filled with a sudden shock and ecstasy, which made his chest hurt.
He was still hating her just now, wishing he could tear her apart, but she just stayed to do an assignment, and that terrible emotion immediately gave way, turning into a pool of water, nearly drowning him.
She didn't abandon him, she stayed for him...
