Chapter 112
Ling Yin's head jerked, "What?"
Why is there still the matter of Cun Ziying?
A few people upstairs searched the third and fourth floors but couldn't find him. Jiang Lin and He Weichen came downstairs and were about to tell Qu Xing when they saw this scene. Jiang Lin ran over: "What's going on? What's going on? Skateboard isn't upstairs! Xingxing! Xingxing, what's wrong with you?"
Ling Yin supported Qu Xing and said gently, "What happened? Xingxing, tell me, and we can solve it together, okay?"
Qu Xing couldn't calm down at all and spoke incoherently, "Is Cun Ziying dead? She jumped into the lake... I didn't save her, brother... What would happen if I didn't save her?"
Le Anyi rushed back and was stunned. He muttered, "How can there be death here?"
Ling Yin suddenly grasped Qu Xing's shoulders, his heart sinking. "Why? Honey, did you see her jump?"
Qu Xing said in a trembling voice: "I saw her. She fell down with my skateboard. I almost..."
Ling Yin asked carefully: "What?"
"I almost jumped down with her." Qu Xing said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Qu Xing was hugged tightly by Ling Yin, so tightly that he could hear Ling Yin's chaotic heartbeat.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Ling Yin asked fearfully.
Qu Xing: “…”
A group of people looked at the two men in surprise and doubt. Le Anyi's heart was pounding. He had never known that behind Qu Xing's few words of illness was hidden such a rich and colorful story of grievance and pain.
Qu Xing's mind was in a mess. He let Ling Yin hold him for a while in panic and distraction. Suddenly, he tried to separate himself a little, propped himself up and stood up. He looked at the door and tried to pull Ling Yin's hand out.
When a group of people saw that he couldn't even stand steadily and wanted to go out, they immediately rushed over to stop him.
Jiang Lin was about to cry: "Xingxing, Xingxing, where are you going? Sit down first, sit down and let's talk slowly."
Qu Xing's mind was filled with only one thought - Cun Ziying jumped down.
"But I watched her jump and didn't save her." Qu Xing looked at Ling Yin helplessly, then frantically struggled to get away from him, saying, "Let me take a look. I want to see. What should I do, what should I do, what should I do..."
Zhou Sidao said, "You wouldn't be able to see anything if you went there now. If the person had been dead for such a long time, they would have been fished out long ago."
Jiang Lin said anxiously, "Zhou Si! Don't provoke Xingxing!"
Qu Xing shook violently and stopped struggling, letting Ling Yin hold him. His eyes were blank and he couldn't say a word.
Ling Yin hugged him gently: "It's okay, don't be afraid. No matter what happens, it's not your fault."
"It's not a question of right or wrong!!" Qu Xing collapsed.
Ling Yin frowned and breathed a sigh of relief, looking at him and said, "Xingxing, tell me first, how did you see her fall?"
"I...she..." Qu Xing still looked towards the gate, and after a while he turned his gaze back to Ling Yin: "She asked me to die with her, and I said...okay, and then she dragged me to the lake, and then...and then..."
As soon as Qu Xing returned to the scene, he was immediately overwhelmed by a sense of unreality. He couldn't believe it was real. He turned around and forgot what he was saying, looking at Ling Yin: "Is the skateboard really gone? Brother, I don't know if what happened that day was true. Did she really jump down?"
Ling Yin said gently: "Whether it's true or not, tell me what happened first, and we can find a solution together, okay?"
Qu Xing took a few deep breaths, lowered his eyes and nodded.
"She took you to the lake, and then what happened?" Ling Yin asked.
Qu Xing whispered, "I stopped and tried to stop her. She told me to live well and then rushed into the lake. I tried to stop her but failed. She rushed out."
Ling Yin: "And then?"
He found it odd. Xingxing was the kind of person who would even go up to someone with a minor injury and blow on them. Unless he was truly unconscious and unable to grasp basic facts, how could he have watched someone sink in front of him without reacting? But his description was clear, not that far off.
Ling Yin asked softly, "Why do you doubt whether she is dead or not? You didn't see her sink."
Qu Xing looked at him with wide eyes and shook her head, "I saw many people saving her."
Ling Yin heaved a sigh of relief: "Did they rescue him?"
"They rescued her." Qu Xing was still terrified. "They pulled her ashore and said they were sending her to a mental hospital."
Le Anyi: “Fuck…”
So magical.
Ling Yin asked: "Then why do you think she is dead?"
Qu Xing wanted to say that Cun Ziying was dead and he had already arranged her funeral. Then he suddenly realized that this Cun Ziying was not the same Cun Ziying.
For a moment, he suddenly couldn't understand the cause and effect of everything that happened. It was as if his brain had suddenly collapsed, and the confusion made him feel nauseous. He was in a trance and returned to the rainstorm that day.
He shook his head and said blankly: "...I don't know."
"Okay, it's okay." Ling Yin hugged him and said softly, "If you see her being rescued, then she's been rescued. Don't scare yourself."
Jiang Lin said anxiously, "Yes, yes! Don't scare yourself."
Le Anyi didn't know whether to comfort Qu Xing or himself: "He was definitely saved, definitely saved."
Qu Xing didn't say anything, and I don't know if he heard it or not.
He frowned and pondered for a long time before finally sorting out everything that had happened and his feelings. He shook his head helplessly and said, "But I don't know. I don't know if anyone really saved her. At that time, I already... didn't know what was real. Why did someone rescue her as soon as she fell? There was clearly no one around at the time, so why did so many people suddenly jump?"
Ling Yin looked at him closely and grabbed his trembling hands with heartache.
Qu Xing's eyes, which should have been carefree, were filled with raging fear. "I don't know if those were my hallucinations, or if I made them up. The truth is, I watched her drown."
Jiang Lin was scared again, his eyes full of fear like Qu Xing, and he bit his hand nervously.
Zhou Si raised his hand and placed it on Qu Xing's shoulder, saying calmly, "What's his name? I'll go to the mental hospital and look for him."
Qu Xing looked at Zhou Si, and after a pause, he said, "Cun Ziying, the Ziying in shadow."
"Okay." Zhou Si raised his chin towards Ling Yin, "Calm down Xingxing, I'll go find her."
He turned to Qu Xing again: "It's okay, if you saw someone saving someone, then that's it. If it was really an illusion, then it has nothing to do with you if the person died."
Ling Yin made a light "tsk" sound, covered Qu Xing's ears, and turned his head back to prevent him from looking at Zhou Si.
Jiang Lin fearfully thrust his hand forward, afraid Qu Xing would hear him, and whispered, "Will you shut up! How horrible it would be if someone really died? How can we, Xingxing, be okay watching someone die?"
Zhou Si frowned and said nothing, striding out with his phone in hand.
A moment later, a man entered the gate. He must have been waiting outside for a long time. He glanced at me briefly before heading straight towards me. He walked slowly, his face expressionless, like a body dragged by a garment, and stood still before Qu Xing.
Ling Yin frowned, wondering where this person had come from. He had come at such an inopportune moment. He hugged Qu Xing's head and buried it in his own, covering his ears with his hands.
Others may not know, but he knows that Xingxing's hand injury was caused by his brother. Otherwise, Xingxing would not have taken the initiative to see Qu Hongfei.
Le Anyi looked at Qu Chen blankly, then looked at Ling Yin's inexplicably cold face in confusion, and turned to Qu Chen: "You..."
"Get out." Ling Yin said.
Le Anyi: “Ah?”
"Your manager let me in." Qu Chen didn't look at Ling Yin, but stared at Qu Xing in his arms: "Brother..."
"Get out." Ling Yin covered Qu Xing's ears.
Qu Chen ignored him and continued in his usual mosquito-like voice, "Dad is outside, dying."
I don’t know whether I want Qu Xing to hear it or not.
Le Anyi broke into tears, "What???!"
It's so weird.
So weird!!
Why is it that today, everything keeps going "die, die, die"! One dad and one mom! Why is this so magical? Holy shit! Where did these two come from?
Le Anyi even had a guess that made his hair stand on end - could it be that this couple of parents have been keeping an eye on Qu Xing all the time?
Jiang Lin suddenly shouted, "What do you mean? What do you mean by dying? Then why are you so calm? Are you kidding me? Where is he? Have you called an ambulance?"
Ling Yin frowned and said quickly, "Le Anyi, go check outside. Jiang Lin, call 120. He Weichen, go get the team doctor to see if they can provide emergency treatment."
Several people went there quickly.
Ling Yin frowned and looked at Qu Chen. Qu Xing heard it, struggled in Ling Yin's arms, and turned to Qu Chen.
He felt as numb as Qu Chen, and didn't even have the energy to react to the current chaos. He just looked at his brother quietly.
There was no panic in Qu Chen's eyes because of his father's death. Just like every time he saw Qu Xing, as soon as he saw Qu Xing, his eyes were filled with a glimmer of vitality that did not belong to him, and he could not look away.
"Dad said he wanted to see you before he died," Qu Chen looked at him and ruthlessly relayed his father's words: "Just to see you one last time."
Qu Xing moved.
Ling Yin suddenly hugged him tightly.
Qu Xing patted Ling Yin and said quietly, "It's okay, you're here."
Qu Hongfei obviously couldn't hold on while Qu Chen slowly moved over and slowly asked people to leave. When Qu Xing went out and saw him, his face was already purple, and he was dragged by the driver and laid flat in the car.
Ling Yin only took a glance and pulled Qu Xing back, asking him to turn towards him. He said softly, "Okay, no need to look. Let the team doctor handle it and wait for the ambulance."
The emergency scene was extremely chaotic. The teenagers had never seen such a terrifying scene before. They grabbed each other and muttered in fear, praying that the person could be saved.
Qu Chen didn't even look at his father whose life or death was uncertain, but looked at his brother.
Qu Xing was frighteningly quiet and submissive. He said nothing, helplessly letting Ling Yin lead him here and there.
That vaguely familiar purple face was already etched in his mind. He thought: As expected, as soon as I have this dreamlike feeling, all sorts of absurd things will come flooding back, filling up, crushing, and turning into an infinitely expanding chaotic dream.
"Shall we go in?" Ling Yin looked at Qu Xing's condition and said softly, "Okay?"
Qu Xing didn't say anything. Ling Yin took his hand and took two steps. Qu Chen called him again: "Brother."
Ling Yin pulled the person on his feet. He didn't know what Qu Chen would say, and he didn't know what would happen if Xingxing was provoked again. He couldn't care less, he just wanted Xingxing to be quiet for a while.
Qu Chen: "I will die this way in the future."
Ling Yin said coldly: "Your father is not dead yet."
Qu Chen: "It's only a matter of time."
Qu Chen followed them for two steps and said, "Brother, you know, my mother and I are just substitutes for you and your mother... We're not even substitutes."
Qu Xing stopped.
His grip on Ling Yin tightened. But Ling Yin couldn't pull him any further. They stopped at the base's main gate. Ten meters away, the world was in turmoil as lives were at stake, but here, the silence was eerie. Qu Xing frowned, trying to follow Chen Qi's instructions, feeling everything he could.
The night was windless, damp, noisy and stuffy.
Red clothes, no strength, a little pain.
Lingyin.
It's true.
Qu Xing held Ling Yin's hand tightly and turned to look at Qu Chen. Aside from the lack of the joyful light in his eyes, he was still as handsome as Qu Chen remembered him. Even more handsome. He particularly liked his brother's red clothes, and he especially liked the sadness that had somehow appeared in his eyes.
He couldn't help but take a step forward and raised his hand to pull Qu Xing, but Ling Yin raised his hand to block him.
Qu Chen was stunned for a moment, looking at his brother. He just looked at him quietly, without any intention of stopping him. So he withdrew his hand and said, "Brother, do you know why my Chinese name is Qu Chen?"
Now that he asked this, the answer is obvious.
Qu Xing said, "Because of me."
