Chapter 151 Conductive Halo
Some people are good at hiding their true feelings, not necessarily because they are cunning, but simply because they don't want to expose their weakness in front of others. Some people are clear and transparent, which could be a facade of inconsistency between appearance and reality, or it could be a pure and innocent heart that remains untainted by the mud.
Zhong Sixin is the latter.
A pair of anxious yet expectant eyes, devoid of desire, met Lin Rui's response. He neither agreed nor refused, but simply turned and sat back down on the sofa.
"Come in."
Zhong Sixin was a little reserved. After observing for the past few days, she was 100% certain that Lin Rui was Fusheng.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
At first, Zhong Sixin was a little conflicted, but after meeting Lin Rui's gentle yet encouraging gaze, she gradually calmed down.
"Can you tell me what it feels like to be on the verge of death?"
After speaking in one breath, Zhong Sixin looked at Lin Rui nervously again. She had no idea of the turmoil in Lin Rui's heart after she blurted out what she had been preparing for so many days.
Although the appearance of the word "near death" was unexpected for Lin Rui, the complete fusion of his memories from the two lifetimes also gave him more composure in the face of adversity.
Lin Rui gave Zhong Sixin a deep look, his tone calm.
Why would you ask such a question out of the blue?
Lin Rui's composed demeanor failed to glean any information from Zhong Sixin, and she couldn't help but feel guilty when questioned. At this moment, she became uneasy.
"When I was three years old, a car accident took my father away. In my memory, all that remains is the smile on my father's portrait."
"When I was seven years old, my grandfather fell ill and passed away. I remember him as a very serious man who rarely smiled, but he smiled while holding my hand before he died."
When I was ten years old, my mother remarried in Yunzhou and never came back, leaving me and my grandmother to depend on each other for survival.
“My grandmother passed away when I was fifteen. That night, she seemed to realize something and left with her hunched back. Before she left, I saw a strange smile on her face.”
"It wasn't until the next day that my relatives called to inform me and helped with my grandmother's funeral arrangements."
"To raise tuition and living expenses, I worked as a caregiver in a nursing home for the three months before the start of the semester. A very kind grandmother passed away, and on her face, I saw the same smile as my grandfather before he passed away."
Lin Rui didn't comfort Zhong Sixin about her ordeal, not because he was heartless, but because he understood that Zhong Sixin wasn't revealing these experiences to gain sympathy.
At least those were eyes filled with a thirst for knowledge, nothing more.
After pondering it for a while, Lin Rui realized that the problem lay in the word "smile".
The repeated and deliberate use of these words is hard not to raise suspicions. He just doesn't understand how Zhong Sixin is so certain that he can provide the answer.
After a moment of careful consideration, could it be that when he first arrived in Yuezhou and his memories merged at the peak of his ten points of stress resistance, his unintentional changes in expression were noticed?
This is the only reasonable explanation Lin Rui could find.
After taking a deep look at Zhong Sixin, who was full of curiosity, Lin Rui couldn't help but sigh, "She's a girl with amazing observation skills."
"The person is gone; is it meaningful to talk about these things now?"
"have."
Zhong Sixin's gaze was firm.
"I understand, come with me."
Lin Rui got up and walked towards the door. Zhong Sixin's eyes lit up, and she immediately followed, closing the suite door behind her.
The two entered the elevator one after the other and eventually arrived at the hotel's fourth-floor lounge.
The restaurant is right next to the lounge. It's not mealtime yet, so the whole corridor is empty, with only one or two waiters passing by occasionally.
An old piano is placed to the right of the lounge, right next to the restaurant. When the restaurant hosts a banquet, the hotel usually invites some pianists to play and entertain.
Less than three meters away, there were three massage chairs. Lin Rui pointed ahead and said, "Go lie down there and relax."
Zhong Sixin nodded obediently and sat down on the massage chair without hesitation.
After Zhong Sixin lay down, Lin Rui sat down in front of the piano and gently stroked the black and white keys.
Instead of rushing to play, Lin Rui first checked the system interface.
