Chapter 101 Finale 1
After a dizzy spell, Xie Liang opened his eyes in the room of the villa, on Xu He's bed. Xu He, who was supposed to be lying in bed with him, was nowhere to be seen.
The quilt on the other side of the bed was opened, as if Xu He had just left.
He checked the time and saw that the date was the morning before everyone entered the dungeon.
Xu He should still be lying in bed. They should have entered the dungeon around nine o'clock in the morning that day. It was now past seven o'clock, and there was still more than an hour until nine o'clock.
Xie Liang couldn't wait to verify what Xu He said. He opened the bedroom door and walked out, heading straight to Lu Bubu and Shi Xiaoyin's room downstairs.
Walking to the door of Lu Bubu's room, Xie Liang raised his hand and knocked gently on the door.
"Knock knock knock--" There was a rhythmic knock on the door.
There seemed to be footsteps in the house. Xie Liang held his breath and his heart beat faster.
With a creak, the door opened and Lu Bubu walked out with his bare chest, squinting his eyes and yawning.
"Brother! What happened so early in the morning?" Lu Bubu was extremely sleepy, and tears welled up from the corners of his eyes.
Xie Liang's heart relaxed: "Want to have breakfast tea? I'll treat you."
"Okay... But what's so windy today? Don't you usually get up at eleven or twelve?" Lu Bubu finally opened his battered eyelids and looked at Xie Liang with suspicion. "Did you have a fight with your brother?"
Hearing Xu He's name, Xie Liang felt complicated.
Seeing Xie Liang's strange expression, Lu Bubu asked in surprise, "No way? With my brother's sullen personality, you two could actually start a quarrel?"
"No, we didn't quarrel." Xie Liang said and turned around, "I'll go call Miss Xiaoyin."
Lu Bubu was completely confused. He couldn't understand why Xie Liang, who usually got up the latest, suddenly became so upset today: "What happened between you and my brother?"
"It's okay, hurry up and put on your clothes, I'm hungry." Xie Liang said as he knocked on Shi Xiaoyin's door.
The door was quickly opened from the inside. Shi Xiaoyin was wearing a set of home clothes, with clear eyes, as if she had woken up a long time ago.
Seeing Xie Liang, she was surprised and asked, "What's wrong? You got up so early today."
"Nothing, let's have breakfast, wanna go?"
Shi Xiaoyin asked worriedly, "Well, you seem to be in a bad mood. Are you okay?"
"How can I be in a good mood after quarreling with my brother? We have to comfort him." Lu Bubu said carelessly.
It took him only a short while to change his clothes. Xie Liang looked at him in surprise.
Lu Bubu put his arm around Xie Liang's shoulders and said, "What's wrong? Are you attracted to me? That won't do. I'm your man in life and your ghost in death."
Shi Xiaoyin rolled her eyes at him and said, "Who wants you?" Then she slammed the door shut. Her voice came from inside, "Wait for me in the living room. I'll change my clothes first."
After Shi Xiaoyin came out, Xie Liang took a taxi and went with them to a famous teahouse in the city.
On the way, in the car, Xie Liang couldn't help but think of Xu He.
Where is Xu He? Is he still alive?
Xie Liang's mind was in a mess, and he subconsciously took out his cell phone and called Xu He.
The phone was still busy, just like when he called from the living room before.
"Hey, brother, don't be anxious. Tell us, what happened between you two?" Lu Bubu said earnestly.
"fine."
Shi Xiaoyin turned around in the front seat and said, "Maybe Brother He went out to get some fresh air. Don't worry."
Xie Liang smiled stiffly: "Well, I'm fine."
After an unknown amount of time, the car stopped on the side of the road in front of the teahouse.
After sitting down, Xie Liang casually ordered a few snacks and handed the menu to Lu Bubu.
After Lu Bubu ordered a few dishes, he handed the menu to Shi Xiaoyin.
"I've ordered too." Shi Xiaoyin said as he handed the menu to the waiter.
As soon as the waiter left, there was a loud noise in the air!
“Bang—”
The sound of the bell is distant and deep.
This sound is...
Xie Liang stood up with a loud bang. This sound was clearly the unique sound when the vortex gate appeared in the dungeon. Why would it be like this now...
The worries in my heart grew heavier. Why did the bell appear in the real world?
Xie Liang turned his head and looked around. Lu Bubu and Shi Xiaoyin looked at each other in disbelief. It seemed that they had heard it too. The other customers seemed not to hear the bell and were busy chatting and laughing.
"Brother! What's going on?" Lu Bubu was surprised.
Xie Liang shook his head in a daze, his heart beating faster and faster. Unable to hold back any longer, he suddenly ran towards the door of the teahouse.
On the road, Xie Liang stopped a taxi and hurried towards the villa.
"Fuck! What's going on, sister? What happened to him?" Lu Bubu retracted his gaze and looked at Shi Xiaoyin in confusion.
"I don't know. I think we'd better follow him." Shi Xiaoyin said as he stood up and walked towards the cashier.
"What? Not having breakfast? You've already ordered it, isn't it a waste?" Lu Bubu yelled at Shi Xiaoyin's back.
"Eat shit!"
After Shi Xiaoyin paid the bill, she and Lu Bubu hurriedly took a taxi to the villa.
In the master bedroom of the villa, Xu He lay on the bed with a pale face, motionless, looking like he had been dead for a long time.
Xie Liang's heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of his chest. Standing beside the bed, he stretched out his trembling fingers to feel Xu He's breath.
An inaudible cold breath flowed between Xie Liang's fingers, and then, his white fingers touched Xu He's forehead.
His palms were cold, and Xie Liang gently shook Xu He: "Brother He, you..."
Xu He's face was pale and lifeless. No matter how Xie Liang shook him or called out to him, he just wouldn't wake up.
Xie Liang's mind was in a state of chaos, and he became increasingly panicked: What had Xu He done? What was that bell ringing?
Xu He didn't wake up, so Xie Liang and Lu Bubu, who had rushed back, rushed him to the hospital where Xu Wenjie was.
In the hospital, Xie Liang accompanied Xu He to complete all the examinations, and the results showed that Xu He was very healthy.
But Xu He was still sleeping, his body temperature was cold, and Xu Wenjie couldn't explain why.
The days passed one by one, and three months had passed unknowingly.
Xie Liang stayed with Xu He in the hospital every day, waiting and expecting.
After the bell rang in the real world that day, Xie Liang and the other descenders gradually discovered that the vortex symbols on their chests had disappeared.
According to Hong Guo, Long Qingye miraculously woke up at the same time the bell rang.
From then on, no one descended upon the small world. Lu Bubu and Shi Xiaoyin also flew back to their respective homes. After they left, the villa became much quieter.
Xu He was still in a deep sleep, so Xie Liang took him back to the villa. Every day, he imitated the medical staff, injecting nutrient solution into his stomach through a catheter and taking good care of him.
In the living room on the first floor of the villa.
Today is Xie Liang's birthday, and as usual he is lying on the sofa playing mobile games.
The half-open door of the villa was opened with a creaky sound by someone from the outside, and Xie Liang looked up.
It was Long Qingye again, holding a large bouquet of red roses in his hand as usual, and walking towards Xie Liang with a smile on his face.
"Happy birthday!" Long Qingye placed the bouquet of red roses on the coffee table, took out an exquisite little box from his trouser pocket and handed it to Xie Liang.
Xie Liang didn't answer and looked at him puzzledly: "How do you know?"
"It's not difficult to find out." Long Qingye said as he took the mobile phone from Xie Liang's hand and stuffed the small box into Xie Liang's hand.
"You know." Xie Liang solemnly put the box back into his palm, "Don't waste time."
"Are you planning to stay with a cripple for the rest of your life?" Long Qingye smiled. "Then aren't we friends? A friend gave you a birthday present, and you wouldn't accept it?"
Xie Liang looked at his slightly hurt expression and sighed helplessly: "Thank you."
"Shall we have dinner together tonight?"
"No."
As Xie Liang finished speaking, Hong Guo walked in with a rosy face: "Please do me a favor and let's all get together for a farewell dinner."
After escaping from the strange other world, everyone's faces became much rosier.
At the invitation of Hong Guo and Lu Bubu, Xie Liang attended the hotel party that night.
The party was held at the Qinhe Hotel. Long Qingye booked a luxurious and spacious private room that could accommodate about a hundred people.
There were only a few dozen people who came, some of whom Xie Liang had seen before and some whom he had not seen before.
According to Shi Xiaoyin, most of the Adventists in the WeChat group she managed participated in the gathering at that time.
The party started at 8pm and lasted until around 11pm. Most people went home drunk.
Xie Liang also drank that night, and it was Lu Bubu and Shi Xiaoyin who sent him back to the villa.
Spring goes and autumn comes, and a year has passed.
That day, in the living room on the first floor of the villa.
Xie Liang curled up on the sofa, holding his mobile phone and opening the job search app to check.
His savings are almost gone, and he has submitted his resume to several companies in the city in the past few days. He plans to move back to his home in the city with Xu He after finding a job, so that the commuting time will be convenient for him to go home and take care of Xu He.
The doorbell of the villa gate rang, and Xie Liang stood up and walked towards the gate.
After looking through the peephole, I saw Long Qingye outside the door, still holding a large bouquet of red roses.
Xie Liang didn't know what he was thinking, he hadn't given up yet.
Opening the door, Xie Liang said calmly: "Should I keep a dog at the door to deal with you?"
"Is this how you treat your pursuer?" Long Qingye said with a wicked smile.
"I thought you would know what's good for you." Xie Liang said.
"What? You won't let me in?" There was a confident smile in Long Qingye's eyes.
Xie Liang turned sideways and let him in: "Forget it this time, don't come next time."
"You really don't welcome me."
"Yeah." Xie Liang returned to the sofa and lay down again.
"How is he?" Long Qingye asked casually.
Xie Liang glanced at him and was about to speak when he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps on the stairs leading to the second floor.
"It seems that Mr. Long will have to take care of Xu's affairs."
The man had a light and steady voice. He was wearing home clothes. His face was pale and thin from long sleep, which made him look even more handsome. He had an otherworldly temperament.
Xie Liang's heartbeat began to accelerate, and he stared in astonishment at the man who was slowly walking towards him.
Tears flowed uncontrollably from his eyes. He thought Xu He might never wake up again, and that he would take care of Xu He like this for the rest of his life...
In the hazy vision, Xu He walked towards him as if no one was around, and that handsome face came close to him.
Xu He leaned over as if no one was around, and kissed Xie Liang's still stunned lips with his cold lips.
