Chapter 662: Extra: Xu (End)
Turn back to Qiao Xi's ward.
Xu sat in a chair beside her bed in a daze. It was as if time had stopped for Qiao Xi. She was still lying there quietly, without any change or sign of waking up.
Untouchable.
Qiao Xi was right in front of him, but he still couldn't touch her.
"Today, I met someone I saved before."
Xu moved his lips, as if he had finally found his voice: "By the way, they're not afraid of me, and they even seem to want to chat with me. Haha, don't you think it's a bit strange?"
He said this in the same tone as usual, as if jokingly.
That's not the case.
The truth was clearly not like that, and he knew it. He had changed so much, so much so that he could even sense the malice or kindness in a person. Those people clearly harbored strong malice towards him.
But……
He couldn't say such unpleasant words in front of Qiao Xi.
He was afraid that Qiao Xi would worry, even though the girl was asleep and couldn't hear him, but he still didn't want to talk about these topics in front of Qiao Xi.
"Those people are all superpowered, and they are all very powerful."
Xu continued to talk to himself, Qiao Xi had been in a coma for half a year, and no one knew when he would wake up.
But he was also really afraid that Qiao Xi would never wake up from her sleep.
Only when he came to see her like this every day did Xu feel that he was alive. As long as he was with her, time would not pass and nothing would change.
Only in this way can we be sure that his memory is true.
Xu seems to have no sense of security.
He only felt better when he stayed with Qiao Xi. Fortunately, the girl's ward was large enough for him to sleep on the floor. After packing his things, Xu went to sleep on the other side.
Although he was infected.
But since the body is still a living person, it always needs rest.
Not long after Xu fell asleep, on the hospital bed not far from him, the invisible mental barrier surrounding Qiao Xi slowly disintegrated.
At the same time in the system space.
The little white cat helplessly looked at Qiao Xi's consciousness, which had not yet fully recovered its memory, and could only persevere in persuading her.
[So, didn't I tell you that we need to stay here for a while and wait for a few years to pass outside? This time span is a must...]
"don't want!"
Before he could finish his words, he was refuted by the little girl in front of him who was wary of it.
Qiao Xi looked at it warily.
Although she felt that the cat was very familiar, she was unwilling to stay here because the other party asked her to go back to see Xu and could not stay there for even a day.
Qiao Xi's eyes were full of hostility.
This also made the little white cat system silent. It opened its mouth and wanted to say something but stopped. However, seeing how wary and cautious Qiao Xi was towards it, it was speechless.
It was clearly this thing that temporarily cleared Qiao Xi's memory.
It’s not surprising that Qiao Xi would have this reaction now, but why does she feel... a little depressed?
I have always taken it for granted that I should stay with Qiao Xi.
Never thought that such a scene would happen to it.
Looking at Qiao Xi's completely unfamiliar gaze, the Little White Cat System had no choice but to return to its own operating table in a depressed mood and start completing the corresponding operations.
【Got it, I’ll take you back】
Originally, it wanted to take advantage of the blank period of these years to let Qiao Xi, who had no memory, sink into the depths of her own consciousness to see if she could remember anything.
But now Qiao Xi insisted on going back to find Xu.
I can only give up for now.
Before Qiao Xi could say anything, her vision went dark. Her perception of her surroundings gradually became clearer. She slowly opened her eyes, and amidst the pitch-black darkness, the pure white ceiling was before her.
Are you back?
She subconsciously raised her hands to rub her eyes, then pushed herself up from the bed. She felt no weakness in her body, her limbs felt strong, and the sense of power filling her body was clear.
I can’t tell what it is.
But she seems to be able to use some special abilities like the one in the seventh window.
What power is it?
That's right, it's magic. She doesn't have any super powers, but she uses magic, which looks very similar to super powers.
This is also because she does not need a wand to cast spells. The girl in the fifth and sixth windows seen in the dream has spent most of her life learning to get rid of the specific condition that humans must rely on a wand to cast spells.
Although the content of the dream was very familiar to her.
But at the same time, Qiao Xi also had a bad feeling. She felt that once she accepted what happened in her dream, she might never see Xu again.
She didn't want to foresee this outcome.
At least not now.
When Qiao Xi noticed the figure not far from her bed in the darkness, her pupils shrank slightly, and her beautiful and lively eyes widened a little, full of disbelief.
The boy I saw in my dream.
But now he is not far away from her!
However, the other person's appearance and the coldness in the air at this moment all told Qiao Xi that this was reality. During his coma, the world seemed to have changed a lot.
The person lying not far away was indeed Xu.
It was an appearance that made her feel familiar yet somewhat strange. In her dream, she saw the development trajectory of the seventh window, knew that there were strange zombies, and the world had fallen.
However, I didn't expect that tragedy would actually happen in reality.
But……
Be it selfish or heartless, Qiao Xi just wanted Xu to be by her side. Even if the world collapsed, as long as he was by her side, she wouldn't be left with nothing.
But even so, she still held out a glimmer of hope.
How are mom and dad?
Qiao Xi reached into the drawer and pulled out her phone, turning it on. Her slender hands were trembling, even the fingers that were flipping through the address book were shaking. She found a familiar number and dialed it, but it wasn't picked up like before.
Don't answer...
What about this? I called, but still no answer...
Try them one by one.
"Beep, beep, beep—" The phone rang busy, but no one picked up the phone.
Qiao Xi's heart gradually sank to the bottom, and a great sorrow of being abandoned came over her. She sat on the bed like a doll, her face dull and distraught. Finally, she couldn't help but cover her face and cry.
Quiet night.
The girl's crying and whimpering voice was filled with an unbearable sadness.
No one could tell her the answer.
Everything she had was taken away from her. Even the boy who loved her the most and carried her most beautiful memories was corroded by the strange virus and turned into such a strange appearance.
Although she knew it was still Xu.
However, I still feel heartache for what the young boy went through and what he encountered.
A faint sound came from beside him.
The crying girl didn't notice that the boy who was supposed to be lying there to rest had already stood up. The place beside the bed suddenly sank, and the cold air that followed made Qiao Xi hold her breath.
She was stunned.
The girl opened her eyes blankly, her vision hazy, looking at the boy who suddenly approached her.
It’s Xu.
Those eyes were mingled with emotions she was familiar with, yet they also contained a profound paranoia that Qiao Xi could not fathom. Something had changed in Xu, as if he was no longer the boy who had simply loved her.
"Xiao Xu...?"
Qiao Xi opened her lips and called out his name hesitantly.
The boy who came close to her and stared at her also showed a charming and gentle smile at this time. As usual, he raised his hand and gently rubbed her head.
"It's me. You finally woke up. Xixi, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
The boy who was rubbing her head held her in his arms.
His body temperature was lower than ever before, and he could hardly feel the heat. Qiao Xi's body stiffened slightly, and she leaned against the boy's chest, listening to the faint heartbeat inside his chest, and she couldn't stop worrying.
"Xiao Xu, what's wrong with you..."
Although I vaguely know the answer.
After all, Qiao Xi had seen him in her dreams, but now that she was really facing such a Xu, she naively didn't want to believe that it was reality.
The young man smiled easily when he heard this.
"Huh? This one, it just took a few bites, that's it. Maybe I was too disgusting, so they gave up after one bite."
He said it in his usual joking tone, sounding nonchalant, but his words made Qiao Xi's eyes red again, and tears rolled down the girl's pretty cheeks.
"Why are you crying again?"
Xu widened his eyes in surprise, and used his sleeve to wipe Qiao Xi's tears in a panic.
Of course he wouldn't understand now.
Why did Qiao Xi cry when she saw him?
He was clearly delighted when he saw Qiao Xi wake up. Shouldn't that be the case? He felt elated, his whole body filled with strength. He could even sense how many zombies were within a few hundred miles and control them at will.
This state.
This showed that he was very excited. He was very happy to see Qiao Xi wake up.
otherwise.
If you are not in a good mood, you can only control a certain number of zombies at best.
"You...why did you make it so easy to talk about being hurt? Why didn't you protect yourself? Why didn't you hide? You really are an idiot!"
Qiao Xi's emotions were already out of control.
She broke down even more when she heard Xu say that. This time she couldn't control her tears anymore and she started to sob.
"It's all right with me."
Xu pulled her hand down and intertwined their fingers. The warmth that had once warmed the boy's cold palm was no longer there. Everything about him was abnormal, yet those emerald eyes were stained with the darkness of desire.
His cold lips kissed Qiao Xi's warm cheek.
Kiss away Qiao Xi’s tears.
The kiss, filled with love and desire, yet extremely restrained, moved to Qiao Xi's eyes. The moment he saw Qiao Xi's eyes, he knew that the girl must also have memories of their previous life.
only.
He didn't want to mention it, nor did he want to make Qiao Xi sad.
If Qiao Xi liked the boy who had been with her in the past, then he would be her Xiao Xu again. He would not go crazy, nor would he lose his love and care for her because the virus gradually corroded his brain and devoured his perception.
Even now it is incomprehensible.
But for him, the only special and exception will always be Qiao Xi.
No matter if he is human.
It's still in this half-dead, half-zombie state.
"I dreamed of you. You were the same in my dream as you are now..."
Qiao Xi was caught off guard by his exceptionally gentle kiss, and her accelerated heartbeat couldn't hide her calmness. She lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, like a fragile butterfly.
"I dreamed about you, too."
Xu also looked at her: "But no matter in a dream or outside of a dream, no matter if I have memories or not, I will fall in love with you again and again."
This is his confession.
In fact, he was indeed attracted to Qiao Xi, and only to Qiao Xi. Whether it was when he was still alive as a normal person, or when he first met her after being infected and half-zombified.
Without exception.
Xu was moved, even though he himself could no longer understand this feeling.
But he knew.
That's probably how it is. If you care about someone, you will always think of that person, and you will often worry about that person or be emotionally affected by him or her.
That means you care.
And being able to touch Qiao Xi like this, the warm current he could feel in his chest became more and more obvious.
It's like...
The cold blood that had long been stained with the virus began to boil again from deep within his body, briefly allowing him to feel what it was like to be a normal person.
Now.
His blood should have turned black, cold, and completely corroded by the virus.
Because I can touch Qiao Xi.
As the energy flowed out from the heart and spread to every part of the body, it gradually began to take on a scorching temperature.
The emotion spreading from his heart.
It was like unlocking a certain seal, allowing him to feel the pure part of himself as a human being.
That’s right.
The him in his previous life, the him in his dream, had the same feeling when he touched Qiao Xi.
The blood is boiling.
Becoming scorching and hot.
It's strange, isn't it? He's clearly infected with the virus, suffering from a serious illness that's incurable. Yet, he's still given the right to be moved by anyone, to become paranoid and hysterical for anyone.
This world is so unfair.
Everything was taken away from him since he was born, but he had to meet Qiao Xi at the end of his life.
That was when he was weak and sick.
I may even hate myself, hate this weak body, and hate the few days left.
But I hate it the most.
Or was he powerless and could only watch his life slip away? Now, as long as he wasn't cured, could that be considered eternal life in another sense?
But this disease...
It also stripped him of everything he once was as a human being.
Whether it was feelings or memories, they were like faded paint, gradually drying up with the passage of time. The only thing he didn't want to forget was Qiao Xi, whether before or after the infection.
A kiss fell on the girl's lips without her noticing.
There was no warning.
Following his heart, he began to ask for what he wanted from her, suppressing the overflowing painful and sweet heartbeat, with a stubborn and firm kiss.
Very gentle.
Qiao Xi also stretched out her hands unconsciously and took the initiative to hug the person in front of her.
Such a light kiss.
He was affectionate and alluring, quite different from the Xu she had seen in her dreams. But she loved the Xu who cared about her so much, because he was someone she cherished.
"Xiao Xu."
When their lips parted, Qiao Xi slowed down her breathing and raised her somewhat shy eyes to look at him.
"I won't leave you, so can you please not leave me too?"
A very direct confession.
Just like that night when I told him directly that I liked him.
Looking back.
It seemed like Qiao Xi was always chasing him, while he kept avoiding her and never gave Qiao Xi a positive answer.
so.
The reason she felt so insecure now was entirely because of him.
"I should be the one saying this. I've always been dependent on you, and I can't live without you. Thank you for being by my side. You've always tolerated my willfulness and approached me regardless of what others might see. I'm very grateful."
He stroked Qiao Xi's head.
Every move was gentle, and he didn't know how to express the words buried in his heart.
However, at this moment.
But it became unusually smooth, and at this moment, he became alive again.
"But... I have to tell you the truth. My emotional perception has been almost completely obliterated by the virus, but my love for you won't change. Don't think of taking advantage of my illness to run away from me."
Xu pinched her cheeks with a serious expression.
He will lose his basic human qualities, his sense of morality, and his so-called three perspectives. As time goes by, he will gradually lose the ability to distinguish between good and evil.
Will he become like he was in his previous life?
However, his love for Qiao Xi will never change, and he will restrain his behavior for Qiao Xi.
Just like before.
"It's okay, I won't run away from you." Looking at him like this, Qiao Xi felt her heart tighten and she couldn't help but hug the boy in front of her.
Somewhere she didn't know.
What Xu had endured and experienced was completely beyond her imagination.
She would not uncover Xu's scars.
Instead, she chose to spend her whole life to accompany and heal him forever.
"good."
Xu lowered his eyes to look at her, his mind moved slightly, and he bent down to kiss the girl's ear.
From now on, he will be responsible for his previous escape and will use his future time to compensate Qiao Xi.
