Only when Lin Su's feet appeared in front of her did Xiao Wanqing look up at him with obvious displeasure. In just a second, she realized something was wrong; Lin Su's eyes were devoid of any emotion, and his gaze towards her had become unfocused. She noticed the bloodstains on the knife in his hand.
"Lin Su, I... I just acted impulsively. I didn't really mean to hurt you. Believe me! How could I possibly lay a hand on you!" Xiao Wanqing pursed her lips, feeling somewhat guilty but mostly afraid. She knew very well that she absolutely couldn't provoke Lin Su right now.
"Wanqing, you really are a good actress!" Lin Su suddenly burst into laughter, the knife in her hand waving wildly. "How could I have met such a madwoman like you! Hahahaha, I'm mad too, that's why I didn't recognize you."
His face darkened, and he abruptly released his hand from his abdomen. Xiao Wanqing saw that blood had stained his shirt. He slowly squatted down, carefully observing the face he had loved for so many years. Even in the dim light, it was still so bright and beautiful, but unfortunately, beneath that beautiful face lay such darkness and horror.
Lin Su suddenly felt an indescribable pain welling up from the depths of his heart, as if his soul was being cruelly torn apart. His heart felt as if it were being tightly gripped and squeezed, and the dual torment of physical pain and psychological anguish caused his entire body to tremble violently.
"What do you want to do? Don't be impulsive, Lin Su, let me tell you, I..."
Xiao Wanqing began to panic, a series of terrifying speculations flashing through her mind, her lips slowly turning white with fear.
"I think we should die here together," Lin Su said calmly, even revealing a satisfied smile.
"Are you crazy!" Xiao Wanqing was still sitting on the ground rubbing her legs. When she heard that her guess had come true, her hands began to tremble slightly, and her eyes were filled with uncontrollable fear.
"We can survive, as long as we kill Shen Zhi Qiu, we can go together!" Xiao Wanqing shouted.
But as Xiao Wanqing turned her gaze towards Shen Zhi Qiu, it felt as if her throat had been blocked. Shen Zhi Qiu was nowhere to be seen in that corner!
In an instant, her mind went blank, and the words that came out were both shocked and strained, "When did Shen Zhi Qiu run away?!"
Lin Su smiled, not even glancing in Shen Zhi Qiu's direction, but laughing bitterly, "So what if she ran away! It means she wasn't meant to die! What difference would it make if the two of us killed her? You said we could leave together, but when you stabbed me, why didn't you think of that? I wasn't even in your plan! Don't try to lie to me anymore!"
"If you kill me, Gu Qingyan won't let you get away with it! You know how powerful the Gu Group is! Do you think you can escape?!" Xiao Wanqing felt all the blood rushing to her head as she screamed sharply.
"Look at you, how can your memory be so bad? Didn't I just say I wanted us to die here together? I never intended to run away! They don't need to catch me, I'll die with you." Lin Su said calmly, her fingers lightly tracing the tip of the knife. "Don't worry, I'll be quick, so you won't suffer too much!"
"I don't want to! Don't come any closer!" Xiao Wanqing was terrified. "I don't want to die!" She kept backing away, trying to stand up quickly, but due to extreme fear, her legs had no strength to support her and she could only move backward with difficulty, shuffling along the ground.
"Good girl." Lin Su's lips curled into a gentle smile. He said softly, "Wanqing, don't be afraid. We'll die together. Your sins are too deep. I really can't let you go out and harm people anymore. If you die, everything will be over, and the sins will be lessened a lot, won't they?"
His tone was too calm, and the warmth emanating from him was as gentle as when he had led her to make a wish in church years ago. Xiao Wanqing felt a chill run down her spine. Back then, he had wished for them to be together forever, but now, he was gently begging her to die.
"Lin Su, I don't want to die. Don't do this, you'll scare me." Xiao Wanqing had an idea and pretended to calm herself down.
Seeing Lin Su getting closer, Xiao Wanqing pouted somewhat aggrievedly and muttered, "It's not that I can't die with you, after all, we made a vow in church to grow old together. But look at me like this." She pointed to her clothes, "Look, they're all covered in dust. If I die now, we'll be a dirty, miserable couple in the underworld. You know I'm very vain, I don't like it if I'm this dirty."
Lin Su watched as her whole body went limp, her voice becoming soft and sweet, and he felt a little dazed. It was as if they had returned to a time when nothing had happened, when she had acted coquettishly towards him in the same way back in Country A.
He subconsciously put down the knife in his hand, leaned forward, and tried to see clearly the dirty place Xiao Wanqing had mentioned, since the environment was too dark and he could only see it clearly if he was close enough.
"Look, it's right here. Can you clean it for me?" Xiao Wanqing said, tugging at his sleeve. She looked at him with a pitiful expression, still the same little girl she used to be.
