Chapter 86
Xi Siling and Liuhuaqi brought Lin Chipei back to dormitory 618. If nothing unexpected happens, they will probably stay here until school starts. After all, this matter involves too many things.
When Hua and Gu find out that they have been exposed, they will definitely be furious and want to teach these two ignorant guys a lesson. Staying here will also protect their safety.
Guessing that Lan Yi was still busy with household chores, Xi Siling called Li Ke to ask if she could use his room.
"You guys are going back to school already?!"
Li Ke certainly didn't know that Xi Siling and Liu Huacui had encountered such a thrilling thing just a few days after they separated. Would they not celebrate the Spring Festival?
"Due to some unexpected circumstances, we can only stay in Miwen for now. We have a friend here too, so we wanted to ask if we could borrow your room for a few days."
Xi Siling had no intention of involving Li Ke and Lan Yi in this matter. Even though they were the protagonists, they didn't have to be together all the time.
Li Ke agreed readily.
"That's definitely no problem. You just need to remake the bed. The sheets and everything are clean. They're in my closet. Just take them."
Xi Siling gave a gentle smile. All his friends were so enthusiastic and cheerful.
"Don't worry, I'll clean it for you. I promise it will be the same as when you left."
Li Ke hung up the phone with peace of mind, and then sent Xi Siling a photo of their family dinner.
At the same time, I also posted pictures in the group.
[6 to send, 6 to send]
What's wrong with me being one more rich person in the world: [Picture]
What's wrong with me being one more rich person in the world: How long will it take for you to come to my house for dinner? I made the sweet and sour spareribs and the pork with sand in it.
Why don’t the cats at school kiss me: They look so nice, but unfortunately I’m at home
Why are you looking for me when you report to the underworld after you die: I want to go, I really want to go, if I can't go, I will really go
What’s wrong with me being one more rich man in the world? You just sit there, I’ll make you jealous!
If you die, you will report to the underworld. Why are you looking for me? I am greedy.
What’s wrong with me being one more rich person in the world: Are you really greedy?
Why are you looking for me if you report to the underworld after you die: I'm not lying to you, 77 and I are both greedy
Flowers in bloom: Yes
What’s wrong with me being one more rich person in the world: Okay, okay, wait for me!
Why are you looking for me when you report to the underworld after you die?
Li Ke stopped replying to the message. Xi Siling and Liu Huaqi looked at each other. It was impossible that their friend was sending a secret message, right?
Regardless of that for now, Xi Siling still has to talk to Mr. Zhong Huai about what happened.
He didn't contact Zhong Huai immediately not because he didn't trust him, but because he was afraid of implicating other children in the orphanage.
Secret texts are different. When wars between countries involve secret texts, they have their basis. Xi Siling was right. This is their most powerful background as students.
"...something like this actually happened."
"Mr. Zhong Huai, don't blame yourself. Pepe was used as a test subject by Hua Hegu and was brainwashed. If I hadn't brought 77 with me, I wouldn't have discovered it."
Xi Siling knew that Mr. Zhong Huai would definitely feel very guilty and sad for not being able to protect Lin Ci Pei, but he couldn't just stand there and talk without feeling any pain in his waist.
If it weren't for the system, even if Xi Siling hadn't missed Lin Zipei during the winter vacation this year, he wouldn't necessarily have thought of visiting his home to pay New Year's greetings, let alone learn about Lin Zipei's desperate situation.
Kind people are always more likely to blame themselves, even though it is the culprit who should be punished.
Zhong Huai was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly.
He is really old and useless and still needs his children to comfort him.
"I'll go to the secret document right away, you guys..."
"Mr. Zhong Huai." Xi Siling stopped him in time. "Although Hua Hegu doesn't know that we have discovered his secret, he will soon realize it. He will definitely think that we are in an orphanage and the children still need your protection."
Xi Siling considered everything very comprehensively. Although he didn't know what kind of background Mr. Zhong Huai had, judging from the fact that Hua Hegu had to accept Zhong Huai's New Year greetings every year, he was still afraid of Zhong Huai.
"I understand. Then you should be careful in the secret text."
Zhong Huai hung up the phone seemingly calmly, while Tang Yang stood beside him with a changeable look on his face.
"Lin Zhipei is his nephew!" Tang Yang gritted his teeth and said, "How dare he do such a thing and keep it secret for so long!"
These teachers are the most responsible. They thought their background checks were thorough, but they were unaware that there is such a vicious method as brainwashing.
How desperate Lin Zhipei would be.
If Tang Yang's anger was a raging fire, then Zhong Huai's anger was the magma beneath the hard surface.
Before it breaks out, it is hidden and deadly.
"Zhong Huai, this matter cannot be let go so easily."
Tang Yang crossed her arms across her chest. Although she was nearly forty years old, her temperament was still passionate.
If Hua and Gu don't get the punishment they deserve, how can they have the face to see Lin Zhipei? And how can these poor children they are raising be safe?
Zhong Huai took a deep breath and stood up. It was rare for a man who was usually so carefree to be so serious. His temperament became completely changed.
"I know. I won't be back until tonight. I have to go out for a bit."
"You're going to the Superpower Institute?"
Tang Yang was a little surprised, but it also proved that he was really angry.
Since he had made up his mind, there was no need to worry. The woman knew Zhong Huai very well.
"Hua Hegu's identity is very troublesome. Although the secret text can be solved smoothly, it is not enough."
Zhong Huai also thought of the past and sneered.
"Some people need to know that I am just retired, not dead."
——
This was also the first time that Xi Siling used [Beers], so he wasn't sure how long Lin Zhipei would be unconscious.
Even during the Spring Festival, there will be people staying behind in the secret text, so there is no need to worry about having no food to eat.
He made the bed in Li Ke's room using Xi Siling's own spare four-piece set. Looking at the boy's peaceful expression as he slept, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Huaqi stood by the door with his hands folded.
When he learned the truth, he felt very complicated, but now he has almost calmed down.
Lin Zhipei's betrayal was beyond his control, and he was also blinded by superficial things.
Liu Huaqi should have stood firmly by Lin Zhipei's side, accompanied him to fight against difficulties and despair, and saved him from the abyss.
The boy didn't want to defend himself with any reason. He didn't do it, it was that simple.
It was he and Hua Hegu who forced Lin Zhipei to death.
"You look sad."
"No."
Liu Huaqi denied it without hesitation, but he didn't even dare to look at his senior in the department.
Xi Siling didn't reply for a long time. Liu Huaqi subconsciously raised his eyes and looked at him, and met his eyes with a slight smile.
He looked at himself gently, "Liar."
Liu Huaqi immediately felt guilty. He said nothing more and shut his mouth.
Xi Siling didn't intend to let it go, "You and Pepe's reactions when you lie are exactly the same. You don't even dare to look at me."
The boy shifted his steps uncomfortably, but where could he escape to?
Xi Siling could probably guess what he was thinking, but she had no way to enlighten him even if she knew it.
The 'puppet' Lin Zhipei, who failed to grasp hope and fell deeper and deeper into pain, will never come back.
Just like the little Liu Huaqi who was full of hope and eager to become the strongest psychic, he disappeared forever.
This is a regret for the world and a personal tragedy, but at least for now, it is not an irreversible desperate situation.
Xi Siling believed that all 77 needed was time to think calmly.
"Senior..."
As if he had made some kind of determination, the boy finally raised his head, which had been lowered.
Xi Siling was sitting beside Li Ke's bed. He pointed to the chair under the desk in Li Ke's room and motioned Liu Huaqi to move it over and sit down.
Liuhuaci did as he was told.
"Go ahead, tell me anything."
Liuhuaqi was silent for a long time, and Xi Siling was not in a hurry and waited patiently.
Fortunately, the boy adjusted his mentality quickly.
"I... once had a very good friend, and something happened between him and me, and I misunderstood him."
Liu Huaqi certainly couldn't tell anyone about his rebirth, so he could only speak out in this way in a veiled way.
The senior in the department seemed to have noticed his concerns and did not raise any objections.
Noticing that the senior in the department was waiting for him to continue speaking, Liu Huaqi's mood inexplicably calmed down.
"Later, when I learned the truth, he had already...left this world, and I..."
Guilt? Self-blame? None of them seem to be comprehensive.
Liu Huaqi didn't know how to describe it, because everything was irreversible and he couldn't even apologize to that person in person.
"Do you think he resents you?"
Did Lin Zhipei ever resent him?
Liu Huaqi didn’t know and didn’t dare to think about it.
But in Xi Siling's opinion, Lin Zhipei must have hated many things.
Hua Hegu, who caused his life to be turned upside down, and Fran, who performed experimental surgery on him again and again, can even resent Xi Siling, whom he was unable to meet, and Zhong Huai, who failed to protect him.
The boy was too kind, and even though there was an opportunity to ask for help, he was afraid that the other party would be hurt.
"77's friends must also be kind people."
Don't punish yourself with other people's mistakes. This is something Xi Siling understood after falling in the mud countless times.
Because of kindness, I feel guilty, and because of kindness, I cannot let go.
Liu Huaqi bit her lips. Although she lowered her head, her eyes were fixed on her clenched fists placed on her legs.
Doing it again, Lin Zhipei didn't seem to have changed at all. She easily guessed his true feelings and sincerely wanted to be friends with him.
So, back to the question.
Did Lin Zhipei ever resent Liu Huaqi?
'Ah Qi, I'm sorry, if possible, I really want to be friends with you.'
The boy's expression, which looked like he was about to cry, was twisted in anger, and then relaxed in regret.
He was so eager to become Liuhuaqi's friend, hoping that they could both break free from the shackles behind them and become lifelong friends.
'Don't ever forgive me, Aqi.'
Until the end, the boy was still begging for Liuhuaqi's forgiveness, thinking that he was the one who did something wrong.
How could such a kind-hearted person like Lin Zhipei hate Liu Huaqi?
Although Liu Huaqi didn't say anything, his violently fluctuating emotions proved everything.
Xi Siling patted Liu Huaqi on the shoulder, and in this way, another puzzle was solved.
"Eh? Where are you? Come out, come out! Dad is here, let's eat!"
Suddenly, the door outside was opened, and Li Ke rushed in with food packed from home in both hands.
