115 Good Night
◎Qi Qiuxue hugged her◎
Li Yiqing raised his hand to take the water handed to him by Qi Qiuxue. Their hands happened to touch each other at this moment. Soon, Qi Qiuxue felt the coolness coming from her fingertips.
This formed a stark contrast to the warmth of her palm. Qi Qiuxue pursed her lips and waited quietly for Li Yiqing to finish his drink before asking, "Feeling better?"
"Much better." Li Yiqing responded with a smile, his face looking extremely pale.
She is in very bad health.
Li Yiqing is a person who is very good at disguise. Qi Qiuxue knew this a long time ago, but this state has already exceeded the scope of acting and cannot be achieved simply by disguise. What exactly Li Yiqing encountered after leaving the previous copy, the answer is self-evident.
"Is this a punishment from the Lord God?" Qi Qiuxue couldn't bear to see her like this, so she asked bluntly, "Because you chose to help me, the Lord God is angry and is deliberately making you pay for your actions, right?"
"Axue is amazing." As soon as the words fell, Li Yiqing nodded in response, "She saw through it at a glance."
"But it's okay. It doesn't matter to me." Even though the other party had seen through his identity, Li Yiqing still instinctively wanted to act coquettishly when facing Qi Qiuxue, "Axue, don't worry about me. It's okay..."
Before he could finish his words, he started coughing violently again.
Qi Qiuxue raised her hand again and patted her back soothingly. "Before coming to your room, I met another player, Su Wen. We're old friends."
"There are a lot of NPCs in this dungeon. A rough calculation shows there are over 200." She patted Li Yiqing on the back while explaining the information she had gathered to her in detail. "But apart from Su Wen, I haven't seen any other suspected players appear."
"According to the system, there seems to be some supernatural events in this instance, and our mission is to uncover the secrets hidden within the crew..."
She spoke a lot in a clear and organized manner. Li Yiqing didn't know when he became quiet. He didn't say anything, but just listened attentively.
After Qi Qiuxue had explained all the information, she asked, "Anything else you want to ask?"
She thought Li Yiqing would ask her about the copy, but no, Li Yiqing just looked up at her slightly sweaty forehead and said softly, "Axue, have you been looking for me for a long time?"
"No." Qi Qiuxue denied calmly.
"You're sweating."
"Because I just had some drinks downstairs."
"Is that so?" Li Yiqing responded, raised his hand and took a piece of paper from the side, gently wiped the sweat from her forehead, and muttered softly, "I thought Axue was worried about me."
Like throwing a tantrum.
Qi Qiuxue met her gaze and raised the corners of her lips slightly after a moment. The words Qingqing said before the end of the last dungeon, Li Yiqing's unnatural state and reaction, her inability to contact him, entering the new dungeon with worry and doubts, searching for her for a long time but no trace of her... These things came one after another, and each one made her uneasy.
During this period of time, she had unconsciously accumulated a lot of pressure in her heart. Even if one had a strong ability to withstand pressure, too much negative emotion would seriously affect a person's state. In order to pass the copy smoothly, Qi Qiuxue would try to suppress and fight it, but this was not what she wanted.
There is nothing perfect in the world, but everyone has desires and always hopes that everything can develop in the direction they want. If this is not possible, then they hope that the deviation will be as small as possible.
Compared to Li Yiqing's complete disappearance without a trace, it's good to see her after all.
Compared to hearing the news of her death, even though Li Yiqing is in poor health now, at least she did not lose her life, and she even had the mood to complain and act coquettishly with him.
As long as it is not the worst outcome, everything can be reversed.
Qi Qiuxue gradually let go of her worries: "Have you had dinner?"
Li Yiqing shook his head truthfully: "Not yet."
"Let's order some takeout." It was too noisy downstairs. Qi Qiuxue didn't like that kind of atmosphere. It was enough for Su Wen to stay there alone. She was busy trying to find out the news before and had no time to start eating. Now that she relaxed, she felt hungry.
Qi Qiuxue was too lazy to go back. Instead of playing coy with those NPCs, she decided to stay and spend more time with the patient. "Is there anything you want to eat?"
"I'll eat whatever Xue orders~"
Li Yiqing opened his lips to respond, his beautiful eyes sparkling in the light.
-
According to the crew's arrangement, most of the staff members lived on the 17th and 18th floors.
During the meal, Qi Qiuxue learned about Li Yiqing's identity, a small cameraman. Because of her introverted personality and poor health, she didn't have close relationships with other people. It happened that the girl who lived with her didn't seem satisfied with the room arrangement, so she discussed with other colleagues early in the morning and moved into another room.
Therefore, the other bed was completely empty, and Li Yiqing was the only one left in the huge room.
This provided convenience for Qi Qiuxue. In this case, she naturally took the right to use the other empty bed. No one could be at ease with Li Yiqing in this state. In order to prevent any accidents in the future, it was necessary to stay by her side.
The night gradually deepened.
Such excellent accommodation conditions are rare in the copy. Before going to bed, the two of them took a shower in turn, changed into disposable pajamas prepared by the hotel, and lay down on the bed. The director of the movie "The Soul" is a person who attaches great importance to efficiency. He requires all the staff to be in place at six o'clock tomorrow morning. According to the story background provided by the system, once the movie officially starts shooting, strange things will follow.
In other words, this might be the first and last night they will have the chance to sleep peacefully.
"Go to bed early." Qi Qiuxue raised her hand to turn off the main lights in the room, but left a dim bedside lamp on. It was necessary to stay alert in the copy world. With the light on, you can react faster if you encounter any emergency.
"Okay." Li Yiqing nodded obediently and closed his eyes.
"Good night, Xue."
"Good night." Qi Qiuxue also closed her eyes. The room was quiet, with only the faint noise coming from outside the window from time to time.
Time passed slowly, perhaps an hour, perhaps even longer, but Qi Qiuxue still couldn't fall asleep. She kept an eye on Li Yiqing's condition, fearing that her condition would suddenly worsen.
In the first half of the night, Li Yiqing coughed from time to time. Later, perhaps because he fell asleep, the coughing stopped, but was followed by the sound of turning over and whispering that was completely out of normal frequency.
Qi Qiuxue got up and looked at her twice. The first time, she gently helped Li Yiqing smooth out her frown, and the second time, she found that she was shaking.
"Is it cold?" Qi Qiuxue asked her in a low voice how she felt. Her palm touched her forehead, which was slightly warm.
Li Yiqing did not answer her, still immersed in sleep and not waking up, but his expression was a little painful.
After weighing the pros and cons, Qi Qiuxue did not wake her up. It was not easy for the sick Li Yiqing to fall asleep. She had taken medicine before going to bed, and she believed that the temperature should not rise too high under the effect of the medicine.
Qi Qiuxue will continue to observe her condition. If it gets worse, it will not be too late to take appropriate measures.
"Axue..."
In a daze, Qi Qiuxue heard Li Yiqing's mumbling in his sleep. Whether as a human or as a god, Li Yiqing at this moment was undoubtedly pitiful and fragile.
Qi Qiuxue rarely gets emotionally affected by others, but perhaps because they have been together for too long, Li Yiqing seems to be an exception.
"...Yeah." After a few seconds, Qi Qiuxue responded to her call softly. Instead of returning to her bed, she lifted the corner of the quilt and slowly lay down beside her.
Li Yiqing's hands were cold, and the temperature felt the same as hers in skeleton form. Qi Qiuxue took the opportunity to hug her, putting one hand on her waist and the other on the back of her hand to warm her cold skin.
This method was surprisingly effective. Li Yiqing obviously stopped shaking and his brows relaxed.
Her breathing gradually became even, and a few strands of air touched Qi Qiuxue's neck, causing some itchiness.
Qi Qiuxue did not dodge. Even though the distance between them had already exceeded the normal social distance, she did not feel any resistance. She just maintained the hugging posture and closed her eyes again.
He whispered, "Good night."
