Chapter 270 Half-dead, utterly devoid of joy
Jin Luo asked Ji Xinghan to play a tune, and mumbled a name in her sleep.
Ji Xinghan was taken aback. Madam Yingyue opened her eyes, revealing a hint of impatience: "Keep blowing!"
Ji Xinghan quickly took out a suona and started playing it.
From the moment I first met Madam Yingyue, she had always been quite gentle and rarely showed this kind of expression.
Ji Xinghan suddenly remembered that Jin Luo had been very arrogant and refused to let her go, but as soon as she saw that Madam Yingyue had drunk wine, she immediately became cowardly, abandoned her, and ran away as fast as she could.
She felt something was very wrong.
Could it be that a wife's personality changes drastically after drinking alcohol?
Ji Xinghan felt a chill run down his spine and immediately began to concentrate on playing the suona.
While blowing, he observed Lady Yingyue's expression.
Lady Yingyue leaned back in the swing chair, her eyes closed, her face expressionless.
Ji Xinghan only knew a few pieces, so he had to play them over and over again. Unexpectedly, perhaps because of practice, these pieces became more and more fluent and were now barely audible.
Ji Xinghan was very satisfied.
Madam Yingyue suddenly opened her eyes, stared blankly at Ji Xinghan for a moment, sighed slightly, leaned back, and murmured, "Your talent is even better than his. Back then, he played this piece for half a month and only reached this level."
who is he?
First love?
Ji Xinghan couldn't help but ask, "Is he alright now?"
Lady Yingyue's face was filled with sorrow: "How could I have known? He's gone, and he'll never see me again..."
She raised her hand and said weakly, "Fine, you can keep blowing your tune, but don't say anything!"
Ji Xinghan continued playing the suona. Perhaps she received positive feedback, or perhaps the music finally wasn't so bad, she gradually became more serious and began to focus on learning the suona, trying her best to correct the parts she hadn't played perfectly the last time.
Time and time again, she lost track of time.
By the time she felt tired, it was already noon, the sun was shining brightly, and Madam Yingyue kept her eyes closed and remained silent.
It seems she's asleep.
Ji Xinghan rubbed his stiff cheeks and stopped.
I'm so tired!
She sat down in the chair, ready to rest for a while and browse the chat channels.
In the chat channel, players were all busy collecting resources, exchanging for gold coins, and buying things. Of course, no matter how busy they were, some people didn't forget to make sarcastic remarks about Zhang Kuang and Long Si and Long Shisan.
Suddenly, Zhang Kuang said coldly, "Ji Xinghan, you're not feeling well either, are you?"
Long Shisan: "Haha, it must be terrible!"
Huh? What do they know?
Ji Xinghan frowned and stared intently at the chat channel.
The others were also puzzled. Jin Baiwan asked, "Are you two crazy? What does this have to do with Ji Xinghan?"
Zhang Kuang gritted his teeth: "How can it not be her fault? You think we don't know? She's the one who took Madam Yingyue to the service area!"
Immediately someone said, "Ah? It really is Boss Ji? I knew it was her, haha, I guessed right! Thank you, Boss!"
Long Si rarely spoke up: "Thanking her is useless; her face is a disaster right now! — [Screenshot]"
Ji Xinghan opened the screenshot, which clearly showed her current appearance.
Long Shisan chimed in, "Yes, this is Ji Xinghan now. I don't know how she became like this, she seduced Madam Yingyue. Hehe, Ji Xinghan, don't you like it this way? From now on, it'll be like this every day. Are you satisfied?"
Ji Xinghan was shocked. She suddenly realized that the reason she had been keeping this appearance all along was because of Long Si or Zhang Kuang!
Arrogant: "Haha, Master Chongyue will remember you well, Ji Xinghan. You cheated on the master, and he won't let you get away with it!"
Everyone realized that the handsome man in the video was actually Ji Xinghan.
The players were buzzing with discussion.
Luo Mingxin sneered: "Long Si, Zhang Kuang, Long Shisan, you guys really have plenty of free time. What, haven't the people chasing us arrived yet?"
Ji Xinghan was also puzzled. Weren't there supposed to be a group of mysterious NPCs hunting down Zhang Kuang and his group? Why hadn't it started yet?
She glanced at Madam Yingyue unintentionally and found that the lady's eyes were closed, but tears were sliding down her cheeks and onto the swing chair.
Was the lady having a dream?
Before she could say anything, Lady Yingyue suddenly opened her eyes. She slowly wiped away her tears, sat up wearily, and said blankly, "This was my own choice... Was I wrong?"
She stared blankly ahead.
Ji Xinghan followed her gaze and saw only an empty wall in front of him.
She could tell that Madam Yingyue was very sad; her face was ashen, and an aura of despair permeated the air.
Ji Xinghan suddenly felt an unbearable pressure in his chest.
After a moment of suppressed emotion, she felt dazed and suddenly found life utterly meaningless.
What is she so busy for?
She already has plenty of resources and enough to eat and wear, so why does she need to work so hard? The world of survival is full of chaos and conflict, so why does she insist on doing the task of opening service areas?
Isn't it good to just live like this?
Eat if there's food, don't eat if there isn't.
If you're destined to die, then die. If you can't die, then live on. Can't you just live one day at a time?
Even if I really die one day, it doesn't matter if Zhang Kuang and Long Si kill me. There's not much point in living anyway, is there?
Let's just give up. We'll stop playing the suona and let Lady Yingyue kill us if she wants. It doesn't matter!
What's the point of all this hard work and busyness?
She suddenly felt weak all over, her hand fell limp, and with a "clang," the suona fell to the ground.
Ji Xinghan was startled, and his whole body shuddered.
Wait, what was that thought just now? Why did it become so negative?
Something's not right!
She glanced at Madam Yingyue, who was still staring blankly ahead, leaning lazily against the swing chair, looking despairing and颓废.
not good!
Ji Xinghan sensed something was wrong.
Like the Disappointment Forest and Broken Heart Lake, this place must have another virus!
She shouldn't have that kind of mindset!
This moment of clarity flashed by, and she suddenly felt dizzy, a thought rising in her mind—sigh, why bother with so much? If there's a virus, so be it. The world is doomed, viruses keep emerging, how can she possibly manage so much by herself?
Will this virus kill people? Probably not. Even if it does, so what? If you die, you die!
The surroundings are so quiet, not even a whisper of wind...
not good!
She bit her tongue hard, and the pain brought her back to her senses. She immediately took out the blue C-grade potion and gulped it down her throat.
Finally, my mind cleared up a bit.
However, the thought of dying or being killed kept surging back, seemingly trying to overwhelm her.
Ji Xinghan gritted his teeth and used a "virus identification" skill on himself!
[Identify the virus!]
[You seem to have been infected with a strange virus called "Delusion Breaker." Delusion Breaker doesn't eliminate delusions, but rather makes one give up all hope and become utterly devoid of interest in life. A C-grade blue potion can alleviate the symptoms. If you are infected, please stay away from the source of infection as soon as possible!]
Wearing protective gear can prevent poisoning or reduce the symptoms of poisoning!
It only provides temporary relief; no wonder the C-grade potion is only so-so.
Stay away from pollution sources?
Who is the source of the pollution? Lady Yingyue?
