Chapter 80
Both of them were stunned. Yu Hang loosened his grip unconsciously. Lin Xing's attention was on the candied haws in front of her, and she didn't pay much attention to his actions.
Just when the two were at a loss, there was a sound of clothes rubbing against paper. Lin Xing hurriedly lowered her head and looked down, and sure enough, she found a piece of paper with words written on it.
She picked it up and spread it flat on the table so that both of them could see. There was familiar handwriting on the paper - I heard that this candied haws shop has always been good, and I won't be able to see you off in person tomorrow, so consider this an apology. Don't be too disgusted, these are the last few strings today. I remember that the little girl next to you likes this thing very much, so I bought some more. Manager Lin can share it with them. If they want to keep it for themselves, I won’t be a snitch.
This made Lin Xing laugh and cry. Chen Ling was really good at finding trouble. Now she had no choice but to keep it all for herself. Yu Hang saw that her face looked strange and tried hard to think about what he should say at this time.
"You should go back and rest as well. We will set off together tomorrow."
"Me?" While Yu Hang was puzzled, Lin Xing had already pushed his hand away and walked towards the bed, lying down in front of him. His hand, which wanted to hold her hand to tell her that her clothes were dirty, stopped in mid-air, unable to let go, and he closed the door quietly.
There was no light in her room, and the room was lit by moonlight coming in through the door. It was pitch black at this moment. The dark and silent atmosphere aroused Lin Xing's melancholy. Her pillow was wet. She sniffed and lay on her side. After she adjusted herself, she began to eat the candied haws in her hand.
Today's candied haws were not sweet at all, but so sour that tears kept flowing and could not be wiped away in time. Lin Xing felt that the quilt was getting in the way, so she simply sat up and finished the whole string in a short while.
But she didn't want to lie down. In confusion, Lin Xing found that her clothes were very dirty. She subconsciously retracted her legs and hugged her knees helplessly after seeing the bedding that she had soiled. These bedding were just changed for her by Yun Duo a few days ago.
Thinking of this, she buried her head and cried silently. She didn't know how long she cried. She opened her eyes and realized that she had just fallen asleep.
Wanting to know what time it was, Lin Xing looked around the room. When she didn't find what she wanted, she realized where she was. She could only rely on the moonlight to judge the time.
Lin Xing looked towards the window and saw from the window paper that it was still dark, but she did not intend to lie down. She just wanted to stay like this until dawn. I put my head back and suddenly there was a noise outside the door, as if someone had lost his balance.
She asked in alarm: "Who?!"
"It's me."
Lin Xing relaxed when she heard the resentful voice. But then she heard footsteps approaching the door. She hurriedly got out of bed and sat on the floor leaning against the door.
Fortunately, Yu Hang didn't want to come in. He also sat down by the door like Lin Xing did, and the two of them remained silent.
"Are there stars outside?" Lin Xing's hoarse voice broke the deadlock.
The man outside sighed and said helplessly: "Yes, the weather is very good today, have you forgotten?"
"I haven't forgotten." He retorted subconsciously.
"But you forgot to drink water."
This time Lin Xing did not refute, because she was indeed in the wrong.
"Did the Prime Minister say anything to you today?" Seeing the other party's silence, Yu Hang took the lead to prevent the atmosphere from becoming too awkward.
"No." Lin Xing denied subconsciously, but suddenly paused, and spoke again after a long time, "Yes."
"Can you talk to me? If not, forget it." Perhaps because of the layer of wood, the voice that comes through is always muffled, and it seems that the speaker is very nervous.
"He..." Lin Xing bit her lip, not knowing where to start, "He showed me a list..."
"I said I killed those people."
The voice in the room was surprised, "How did you know?"
"Because I was the one who killed those people." The voice outside the house became muffled.
Lin Xing's eyes widened with confusion. It took a long time for the stunned person to find his voice, "I thought that was all nonsense from the Prime Minister."
No response.
"Why did you kill those people? Are they all bad guys?"
Still no response. If the shadow on the door hadn't been there, she would have thought Yu Hang had left. Realizing that he didn't seem to want to talk, Lin Xing decided to give him some time.
She sat back on the bed, lowered her head and guessed the behavior of the person outside the door by the shadow on the ground.
Suddenly, a large black shadow appeared on both sides of Yu Hang's head, probably because he put his hands on his head; Yu Hang's shadow suddenly became taller, probably because he stood up... After countless small movements, the two of them were back to back like at the beginning, just separated by the door.
He finally finished his mental speech and said slowly, "There are bad guys and... good guys among them. For some reason, I had to kill them. I was not threatened or forced by anyone."
Yu Hang didn't know how Lin Xing would treat him after he said this. At this moment, the only sound of his pounding heart was in his ears. However, Lin Xing could only guess through his shadow and couldn't see his heart.
As the voice of the person in the house sounded, his verdict came, "Before, I thought that the people around me were all bad people, but after coming here, I realized that they were not bad people, and those things were nothing at all."
"…No, it's still a bad thing. You shouldn't forgive them just because you've seen worse people."
"Of course I won't forgive those people. They should go to my grandma and ask for her forgiveness." The voice in the house was a little gnashing, but then it changed its tone and became calm, "You know that's not what I'm talking about."
There was silence again. I thought I would have to wait for a long time, but the next moment a voice came, "What if I'm the worst one?"
This time it was even more boring. Lin Xing was sure it wasn't because of the wood, but because Yu Hang was really nervous. She chuckled silently, "Then I'm the second worst."
"..." The man outside the house was a little anxious, "I'm not kidding."
"Neither do I." To prove her point, Lin Xing explained seriously, "In the eyes of the world, you and I have been in the same group for a long time. If you are the worst, then am I not the second worst in the world?"
“But I killed a lot of people.”
"But you never told me the reason. Tell me, and I will judge for myself whether you are a bad person or not."
The firm voice made Yu Hang unable to refuse. He accidentally did the same thing as Lin Xing, as if this would reduce his sin, "I lied to you."
He let out a long breath and continued, "Actually, I didn't come here a few months ago. All the Yu Hang you heard about was me."
The big stone in his heart fell to the ground along with his hands. Lin Xing in the house held her cheeks with both hands and said softly: "Actually, I have some guesses. Did you come here when you fell into the water as a child?"
"Um."
"It's hard for me to judge your past. After all, I wasn't there and don't know what happened. But you haven't done anything bad these days, and every move you make is for the people's consideration, so I don't think you are necessarily the worst."
The wind is always strong in autumn nights, and the half-closed window was suddenly blown open, allowing the moonlight to pour into the house and stop at Lin Xing's feet.
