Chapter 246 Love is a hallucinogen
It only took one glance for Shen Shouli to recognize Xu Lingqu.
Following behind Zhiren and Chendao, he walked out of the woods behind. When that figure came into his sight, his heart trembled suddenly, and all the blood in his body seemed to flow backwards towards his heart.
Even though her whole body was covered at this moment, and her face was covered with a mask, Shen Shouli could recognize that this was Xu Lingqu in an instant.
The back figure he had looked at in countless moments, even if Xu Lingqu was among millions of people at this moment, Shen Shouli could still see her at a glance.
He didn't dare to keep his eyes on Xu Lingqu.
His face remained calm, but his heart was already in turmoil. The huge sorrow and joy enveloped Shen Shouli in an instant. He gritted his teeth and looked away to calm himself down.
Master Xiao and Master Duanmeng were still there, and Xu Lingqu must have dressed like this because she didn't want people to recognize her. Shen Shouli waited patiently for them to leave with the blade and the knife.
At this moment he was still hoping for a lucky break. He was wondering if Xu Lingqu would take the initiative to explain to him after the two men left.
When I looked up, I saw Xu Lingqu leaving.
Shen Shouli couldn't help it. He lowered his head and held her sleeve, with mixed feelings in his heart. He had a lot of things to ask her. During those sleepless nights, he thought of a lot of things to say to Xu Lingqu.
Those humble and bitter secret loves that were difficult for him to talk about, those emotions that grew wildly when he secretly hid them, and the endless regrets that overwhelmed him.
On every sleepless night, he muttered to the imaginary Xu Lingqu. Those words were an outlet for his emotions. During the day, he had to force himself to go to the battlefield. If he didn't rely on this way to vent, he might have collapsed long ago.
Now that he had really seen Xu Lingqu, who was alive and well, Shen Shouli had to work hard to say six words.
"Xu Lingqu, is that you?"
Xu Lingqu didn't expect that he would be recognized by Shen Shouli.
She was very confused.
After deciding not to announce the truth about his fake death, he met Liu Zheng and Xu Xizhen, but they didn't recognize him.
Xu Lingqu couldn't figure it out, she really didn't understand how Shen Shouli could recognize it?
I should have waved my sleeves and said, "You've got the wrong person," and then left, Xu Lingqu thought. This was the most correct thing for her to do.
But Shen Shouli's voice sounded like he was about to cry, and this inexplicable thought made Xu Lingqu stop his actions.
The two of them stood there, Shen Shouli holding her sleeve tightly and not letting go.
Xu Lingqu could feel the moment his tears fell, and she silently felt the extremely heavy emotions coming from Chen Shouli.
How could Shen Shouli be so sad, so sad that she was about to be completely swallowed up by his sadness.
She originally thought that Xu Xizhen might be the person who could not accept her death the most. But that day, seeing Xu Xizhen become more resolute and slowly getting out of his grief, Xu Lingqu breathed a sigh of relief.
Then the others should also walk out slowly like this, Xu Lingqu thought.
When he met Shen Shouli today and saw his shaky state, Xu Lingqu realized that he couldn't get out.
Shen Shouli was very glad that Xu Lingqu did not turn around but chose to stand there and acquiesce to his question. If she turned back, wouldn't his state of being neither human nor ghost bother her?
He tried his best to calm himself, the words in his mind turning into chaotic words flying around, and finally he said: "Where...where are you going?"
Xu Lingqu sighed helplessly. She really didn't know what to do with him.
She turned around and saw his haggard face and tearful eyes up close, and was speechless again.
Shen Shouli turned his head slightly to avoid Xu Lingqu's sight. He really didn't want her to see him like this. He suddenly regretted why he didn't dress himself up properly before coming here today.
Xu Lingqu took off the silver mask and she said softly, "Shen Shouli."
She raised her eyes and looked around: "Go in and talk."
Xu Lingqu was already very familiar with the buildings on the Neutral Star. She found an empty guest room. Shen Shouli followed her obediently, refusing to let go of the hand holding her sleeve the whole time.
He calmed down a lot, watching her every move and said, "You've been here for quite a while, right?"
Xu Lingqu motioned for him to sit down, and the two sat down face to face. Shen Shouli didn't let go, so she stretched out her hand and placed it on the table for him to hold.
"I didn't die. I had the mecha Lumen, which protected me. I landed on a neutral planet." She succinctly summarized her experiences during that period.
"You haven't thought about it..." Shen Shouli lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice, "Xu Xizhen misses you very much... She has been in a lot of pain these days."
Xu Lingqu looked at him and suddenly asked, "You like me, right?"
She asked suddenly, and Shen Shouli was startled. He looked up at her, and there was no doubt in Xu Lingqu's eyes. She said this just to confirm.
Shen Shouli pursed his lips: “I…”
"There's a reason why I don't want you to know I'm still alive."
Xu Lingqu ended the topic she had started first. She also regretted asking at this time, but at that moment, she seemed to be instantly controlled by her intuition and blurted out the answer.
She didn't know where Shen Shouli's feelings towards her came from, nor did she know how they had developed to this point. All of this came inexplicably, and Xu Lingqu could not find a reasonable reason for him to become like this.
Until that moment just now, she suddenly thought that for human beings, love is such an inexplicable thing.
Love has always been an unclear topic for human beings. Before the end of the world, Xu Lingqu was dragged by her classmates to watch a classic movie about love. She finally concluded that the movie's ingredient was a kind of illusory hallucinogenic drug.
This was indeed the case. She couldn't figure out what she had done to make Shen Shouli have such strong feelings for her. She suspected that Shen Shouli was hallucinating due to some unspeakable substance.
This made him extremely painful but he still couldn't let go. After Xu Lingqu confirmed this, she didn't feel the pleasure of solving a mystery. An indescribable sour feeling spread in her heart, so she decided to take the initiative to end the topic.
Fortunately, Shen Shouli thought, he didn’t want to confess in such an embarrassing state, it would be too miserable.
"What's the reason?" he asked.
"I'm going to do my own thing soon," Xu Lingqu said. "This matter is very important to me, so I can't give up. If I do this, I don't know whether I can come back alive or how long it will take."
Shen Shouli raised his head suddenly when he heard this, and his eyes were full of questions and pain.
Xu Lingqu frowned slightly.
"That's why I don't want to tell you I'm not dead."
