Lin Dan did not answer Liu Liang's words. After taking back the colorful butterfly, he walked towards the school gate. Passing by a lottery betting station, he spent 30 yuan to buy three scratch tickets, and then took Liu Liang to a cafe to talk.
"Are you here to apologize?" She looked out the window nonchalantly.
Liu Liang nodded. He had a lot of sentimental words in mind, but what he said turned out to be: "Why should I apologize to you? I don't think I did anything wrong. Your life was taken by Chen Li. If you want to deal with someone, just deal with her. I am your father, how can you be so ruthless? If it weren't for your strong strength and the fact that you can help me make a comeback, do you think I would be willing to beg you in such a humble way?"
Lin Dan then looked at him straight in the eye and nodded, "I understand."
Liu Liang was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He wanted to open his mouth to speak but closed it immediately. He almost forgot that Lin Dan had cast a poison on him, forcing him to tell the truth.
Lin Dan didn't seem surprised by his true thoughts. Some people will never recognize their mistakes and will simply blame others when disaster strikes. She took out a coin, scratched a scratch-off ticket, looked at the winning information, threw it aside, and scratched another one.
Liu Liang was just taking a casual look at first, and then his eyes widened. The first scratch ticket won the highest prize of 350,000, but that was not the end. The second one also won the highest prize, and the third one also won the highest prize... Lin Dan only bought three scratch tickets, but won the special prize in all of them. This was obviously abnormal.
Are the winning rates for scratch tickets that high? Liu Liang looked at the lottery tickets with red eyes.
Lin Dan threw the coins on the table and said slowly: "You can see that your fortune is now in my hands. As long as I am willing, I will have endless money in this life, and they all belonged to you. Do you want to take them back?"
Liu Liang looked straight at Lin Dan, his voice hoarse: "Are you willing to give it back to me?"
"I can give it back to you as long as you kneel in front of my mother's grave and sincerely say sorry."
"Okay, let's go to Shuchuan right away!" Liu Liang said decisively.
Lin Dan's lips curled up slightly, but she didn't say anything. She took out her cell phone and called Gao Shukai to ask him to arrange the itinerary. That afternoon, the group arrived at the Miao village and stood in front of an isolated grave without even a tombstone.
"Go and apologize." Lin Dan said calmly.
Yu Yeying gently held her right hand, trying to give her some warmth. Gao Shukai picked up a hatchet and cut the weeds on the grave, then dug up a few bamboos and planted them on top of the grave. Next spring, when the bamboo grows into a lush clump, it will provide shade for Lin Dan's mother. If she knew about this in the afterlife, she would probably be happy, right? In order to protect Lin Dan, she gave her life. She was not the bad woman as rumored by others, but a great mother.
Liu Liang stared at the grave for a while, then slowly bent his knees and knelt on the ground. He opened his mouth and wanted to say sorry, but no sound came out for a long time and he suddenly became a little anxious.
Lin Dan sneered, "You've been poisoned by my truth poison, so you can never tell lies in your life. If you don't really feel sorry for my mother, you will never be able to say 'I'm sorry'. Your fortune is in my hands, I'll keep it for you, think carefully about how you've let my mother down, and when you can think it through and say this, I'll return your fortune to you."
Liu Liang finally realized that he had fallen into Lin Dan's trap, but he couldn't express his pain. Is it really that difficult to say "I'm sorry"? He didn't feel it before, but now he suddenly realized that these three words carry such heavy weight!
He looked at the lonely grave, his heart burning with anger, but he still couldn't utter a word. He simply closed his mouth and kowtowed three times.
Lin Dan also knelt down and kowtowed, then stood up and said, "You should stay here until I hear your sincere confession."
Liu Liang wanted to chase her but didn't dare to. He could only stand there and watch her back. After she walked away, he turned around and looked at the grave with complicated eyes. He began to recall the past, trying to find his own mistakes, but it is so difficult to make a selfish person repent overnight. This is a test of the soul, and no one can help him except himself.
He simply decided not to leave and built a shed next to the grave, reminiscing day by day and thinking about it night by night, and many years had passed before he knew it.
…………
Four years later, Lin Dan graduated from university and prepared to take his equipment to the tropical rainforest to look for poisonous insects. Gao Shukai called her and asked her to come downstairs.
"What is this?" Lin Dan looked at the countless colorful balloons tied to the big tree with a puzzled expression.
Gao Shukai adjusted his hair and coughed twice before kneeling down with a bouquet of flowers and a ring box in his hands. He said sincerely, "Dandan, please marry me. I love you." His cheeks flushed and he looked very shy, but his eyes were brighter than the stars in the sky, and Lin Dan's figure was reflected in them.
Lin Dan was stunned, her heart was shaken, but also slightly sweet. The classmates around him jumped and laughed, and started to cheer: "Marry him, marry him, senior sister, it's hard to find a rich husband, you must seize the opportunity!" Everyone knows that Gao Shukai is a famous top student in Tsinghua University. He founded his own company in his sophomore year and became a wealthy man with assets of over 100 million in his senior year, no less than his father. Marry him and you won't have to worry about the rest of your life.
Lin Dan slowly stretched out her hand, trying to take the ring box, but Zhou Xuan suddenly appeared and grabbed her wrist. "Wait a minute," he chuckled, "Dear, I advise you to think about it carefully."
Lin Dan turned to look at him with a very cold gaze. Zhou Xuan smiled even more flamboyantly, and his fingertips gently brushed her eyelids, his movements revealing indescribable tenderness, "Don't agree to him."
The students around were all dumbfounded. What is going on? Senior Gao is proposing here, why would Professor Zhou from the History Department come out? These two are both the male gods of Tsinghua University. They are the ideal lovers in the minds of many men and women. Senior Lin Dan is worthy of being the campus belle of National Tsinghua University. She has charmed both male gods at once! Two men are competing for one woman. This melon is delicious!
The smile on Gao Shukai's face froze, and he immediately stood up and tried to pull Zhou Xuan, "Let go of Dandan. Who are you?"
"Fetal blood, fetal hair, and placenta." Zhou Xuan whispered in his ear in an inaudible voice.
Gao Shukai froze. After a second, he stuffed the flowers in his hand into Lin Dan's arms, but put the ring box away. He smiled bitterly: "Dandan, we will talk about marriage later. But don't worry, I will protect you all my life."
Lin Dan looked at the flowers with an unpredictable expression, then her nails turned black and she attacked Zhou Xuan fiercely. Zhou Xuan casually held her wrist and held up her strange five claws with his palm to prevent people around from seeing them. He whispered in her ear, "Dear, if you can't belong to me, then you can't belong to anyone else. Your fetal hair, fetal blood, and placenta are safe with me. I promise you that no one else in this world will use them to threaten you."
He put his scratched index finger into Lin Dan's mouth and chuckled, "Try it, my blood is no worse than Gao Shukai's. I was born with a Taoist bone."
The surging power went down her throat into her stomach, warming Lin Dan's cold body. Her expression was fierce, but she licked Zhou Xuan's index finger honestly with the tip of her tongue.
Zhou Xuan laughed happily, lowered his head to kiss her thick black hair, and murmured: "You said that sooner or later you would come to take my soul orb, I will wait for you. I will live as long as you live. Don't marry anyone, otherwise I don't know what I will do."
He let go of Lin Dan's hand, which had returned to normal, and helped her tidy up the messy hair on her forehead. Then he left slowly.
Gao Shukai could only stare at his back with gritted teeth, feeling helpless.
"Let's go, forget about him." Lin Dan said slowly: "A piece of paper can't prove anything. We will be together for the rest of our lives, and that's enough."
Gao Shukai's gloomy face suddenly brightened up. He held her hand and smiled with relief: "Well, we will be together for the rest of our lives. It's settled. Let's go to the Amazon to catch bugs."
…………
When she opened her eyes again, Lin Dan found herself sitting on a truck. The road seemed a bit bumpy, shaking her back and forth. She quickly grabbed the handrail, looked out through the gap in the tarpaulin, and was immediately stunned. I saw that the city in the distance had become a ruin. Some buildings had collapsed, and some were emitting thick smoke. A group of large black birds were circling in the air, making loud calls.
The sky was a shade of gray, filled with dust and stench, giving people an extremely ominous feeling. A group of people ran after the truck, screaming continuously. Lin Dan took a closer look and found that their clothes were already tattered and stained with blood. The exposed skin was falling off in patches and oozing yellow-green pus. They are not human beings at all; they are clearly a group of walking corpses.
Logically speaking, Lin Dan had just arrived in this world and was seeing such a horrifying scene for the first time, so he should be scared. However, she was only stunned for a second before quickly coming to her senses and tightening the machete in her hand. Although she had no memories, she knew clearly that she was an outsider. This feeling was strange, yet so familiar.
After making sure that the zombies were left farther and farther behind by the truck and would not catch up with her, she closed her eyes and began to absorb the memories of this body.
The original owner was also called Lin Dan. He was a graduate student at the School of Life Sciences of Tsinghua University and was considered a top student. When she was about to graduate, a meteorite hit the earth, bringing viruses from outer space. Sixty to seventy percent of humans were infected by the virus and turned into zombies, another ten percent underwent genetic mutations and gained special powers, and the rest were all ordinary people.
The whole world fell into doomsday. The government and non-governmental organizations quickly established several large survival bases and began searching for survivors. Of course, among these survivors, the first ones to be protected are the big guys who are at the forefront of science and technology. After all, only with them can humans find ways to fight the virus and doomsday; the second is to summon the superpowers and quickly form a legion of superpowers that can effectively fight the zombie tide, and the last ones to search are ordinary people.
The original owner was a very lucky person, but also a very unfortunate person. Fortunately, she possessed water-related abilities, and her mentor was one of the bigwigs that the Chinese government had to protect. The day after the apocalypse, the army came to rescue them and brought them safely out of the fallen city. Unfortunately, the original owner's water ability was very weak. To this day, three months have passed since the end of the world, and other people with abilities have been promoted to level one or even level two, but she is still at the elementary level.
She had no way to protect herself and could only cling tightly to her mentor's golden thigh. However, just half an hour ago, her mentor was torn to pieces by zombies, and the army responsible for protecting them was also wiped out. The future of the researchers who survived by chance is unknown.
