On the third day after arriving at Lu Jing's safe house, I had a severe attack and almost injured Lu Jing. If Hu Fei hadn't knocked me unconscious in time, I probably wouldn't have been able to control myself.
When I woke up and saw the bruises on Lu Jing's face, I felt very guilty about this.
But Lu Jing didn't take it to heart.
"Sister Jing, I'm sorry," I said.
"Alright, you didn't do it on purpose, so I didn't take it to heart," Lu Jing said with a smile.
I asked, "Jing-jie, did you go out earlier? Where did you go? Did you go to school?"
Lu Jing went out in the morning. I was still in bed and didn't know. When I woke up, I found that she was gone and realized that she had gone out.
So I'm a little worried.
Lu Jing said, "Yes, I went to the school, but don't worry, I was careful and didn't let them find out."
I didn't blame anyone. Sister Jing must have her own methods and sense of propriety to have survived this long. It would be superfluous for me to blame her.
...
On the fourth day, my condition improved a lot, and the attacks were not as painful as before. Or rather, I had gotten used to the pain, so I could control myself well and silently endure the pain.
That night, I had insomnia, perhaps because I slept too much during the day, so I couldn't fall asleep at night.
I ******** went upstairs to the rooftop.
It had been raining for three days, and the weather had cleared up today, but now, in the middle of the night, it has started to drizzle again.
The sky was overcast, and I couldn't see the stars or the moon, which made me very unhappy.
Everything around was quiet; there were no lights, no traffic, and no people.
I stood in the drizzle for a long time when I heard footsteps behind me, and then an umbrella appeared over my head.
I turned my head and saw it was Sister Jing.
"Why aren't you sleeping? What are you doing here? Why didn't you grab an umbrella?" Sister Jing scolded.
I smiled and said, "I've been staying indoors for the past few days and it's getting a bit stuffy. I also can't sleep right now, so I came out for a walk."
Sister Jing asked, "Are you feeling better?"
I nodded: "I'm feeling much better. If I can just hold on for a couple more days, there shouldn't be any problems."
Sister Jing was overjoyed, "That's good. As long as you're alright, everything is fine."
I chuckled, then remembered the industrial park and asked, "Sister Jing, can I ask you something?"
"Um?"
I asked, "Back then... when we escaped from Zhou Liang, who did you say you escaped with?"
Sister Jing said, "I escaped with Zhang Zhihao, but when we were escaping, Zhang Zhihao deliberately drew away their pursuit so that I could escape alone. As for the others, I don't know. I later went to the industrial park and saw the graves of Yunlan and the other two. Did you do that?"
“Hmm.” I nodded. “After I finished, I planned to go directly to Wutong City to find Zhou Liang, but I ran into that group of people on the way, so I was delayed.”
Sister Jing exclaimed in surprise, "Zhou Liang is in Wutong City?!"
I said, "Probably. I'm not sure exactly where. We killed his second uncle in Wutong City, so I think he must be in Wutong City. I think once I recover, I'll find the other people who are still alive, and then we'll go and get revenge on him."
Jingjie's eyes dimmed as she said, "But revenge isn't that easy. Besides, are the others really still alive? Even if they are, are we enough with just our numbers?"
I shook my head: "If Pu Weichao were here, perhaps there would be a way."
Sister Jing said, "Then let's find them first and bring them all back!"
"Um."
...
On the fifth day, I didn't know what to say.
I've been feeling unwell since this morning, and it hasn't gotten better by noon. Could it be because I got caught in the rain last night and caught a cold?
I lay in bed lost in thought. Hu Fei and Lu Jing had left to find something to eat. The three of us had been quite exhausted over the past five days, and given my condition, we were running out of water and food.
I'm not worried about anything happening to the two of them.
My only worry is whether I can make it through this day.
After getting tired of lying in bed, I went to the living room and looked at the continuous drizzle outside, feeling very uncomfortable.
I don't know why, but I always feel like the world has abandoned me.
Feeling increasingly unwell, I lay down directly on the cold ground, watching the dust on the ground being blown away by my breath.
In a daze, it seemed like I was having a dream.
In his dream, Hu Fei rushed back from outside in a panic. He was soaking wet and even stained with blood, looking utterly disheveled.
The first thing he did when he got back was grab me and tell me that Sister Jing had been kidnapped by Li Ming!
The moment I heard about this, I went completely mad. Without thinking, I followed Hu Fei out, got on his Harley, headed to the school, and started a crazy massacre. During the massacre, I was shot, but I managed to find Sister Jing and successfully rescued her.
Unfortunately, I died from excessive bleeding after returning home.
After I died, the dream ended, and I opened my eyes.
The moment I opened my eyes, I heard the security door open. I turned my head and saw Hu Fei walking in, soaking wet and panting. Instantly, I became worried.
Fortunately, Sister Jing followed him into the living room.
I breathed a sigh of relief the moment I saw Sister Jing.
I didn't run up and hug them. I really wanted to, but I didn't have the strength.
Hu Fei saw me lying on the living room floor and exclaimed in surprise, "Huh, what are you doing lying here?"
Sister Jing said worriedly, "Get up quickly, get up quickly, the ground is cold, don't catch a cold later."
They pulled me up from the floor and made me sit on the sofa.
Hu Fei smiled and took a hard object out of his backpack, placed it on the coffee table, and said with a smile, "Look, what's this?"
"Meat!" I exclaimed in surprise. It was indeed meat, and frozen meat at that!
I reached out and touched it; the icy touch felt unreal.
Hu Fei laughed and said, "Not bad, right? We went to a very far place and found that the icehouse there was still operating, so we took some over. We can go get more when we want to eat them later."
Sister Jing said, "We're having bone broth today, to give you a good boost."
"Thank you," I said.
Hu Fei chuckled twice, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and lit one.
The bone broth was delicious in the evening, and even I ate quite a bit.
Yeah, it's been so long since I've had meat. Even though I have no appetite right now, I still want to finish it all!
I think that once these troublesome things are over, we can live such a peaceful life when we return to school.
No, it's not "should", it's "definitely possible"!
I believe I can do it!
