Li Xiao joked, but found that there was no movement behind him. He turned around and saw that Zhou Qing had left the tree house.
Looking along the rope bridge, she was already sitting on the balcony outside the bedroom. She crossed her legs through the railings to build the treehouse platform, hugged the railings with her arms, and put her head on her arms to look into the distance.
His expression was melancholy and indescribably lonely.
Li Xiao also followed her example and sat next to her.
Looking forward, I saw the beautiful scenery of the lake - the islands in the middle of the lake covered with gems, shining with colorful light; the lake surface was blown by the breeze, sparkling, and from time to time there were some fish flipping up in the water.
A burst of water splashes, creating layers of ripples...
"Aren't you going out today?" Zhou Qing asked without looking back.
"Well, I've been busy for several days and I'm tired. I'm going to take a day off today."
The breeze blew, and Li Xiao, who was lying on the railing, couldn't help but feel tired and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"You know, when you are not here, I will sit here all day long." Zhou Qing said in a calm tone.
"Huh?" Li Xiao's expression was startled, and his sleepiness was dispelled a lot. He looked at Zhou Qing, only to find that there was an unspeakable loneliness on the latter's face.
He did not answer the call and quietly waited for Zhou Qing's next words.
"I know that you didn't let me go out to protect me and Zhou Yi... If we die two more times, we... will be really dead!" Zhou Qing's face showed a bit of ridicule, "I have already felt death.
Too many times... To be honest, I still don't know what I expect - whether to linger and wait for you to take me and Zhou Yi back to the original world; or whether to jump headfirst from here twice.
, completely took his own life, once and for all..."
Li Xiao's expression was a little more serious, and his eyes staring at Zhou Qing were full of vigilance.
For a long time, he had forcefully kept Zhou Qing under house arrest, but he ignored her inner feelings. He couldn't imagine that if she committed suicide... after all, she had a criminal record!
Seemingly sensing Li Xiao's nervousness, Zhou Qing hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, if I wanted to die, I would have died a long time ago. Besides, even if I wanted to die, Zhou Yi might not die!"
The depression in Zhou Qing's heart has obviously been accumulated for a long time. Today, he finally found someone to talk to and completely opened up the conversation.
"You are busy all day long, going through life and death in this dangerous world; and I, at most, help you feed domesticated creatures... You have experience and more unyielding fighting spirit. I believe that no matter how long you stay in this world, ten years
, twenty years! You will eventually succeed in taking me and Zhou Yi away from here, of this - I have no doubt!"
"But..." Zhou Qing looked at Li Xiao solemnly, "This is really unfair to you! You resist the danger, but I sit back and enjoy the consequences... Why? Why? Why are I resurrected so few times? Why am I a woman?
?This is not the reason at all - we both come from modern society and are well-educated people. The idea of equality between men and women must have been engraved in our bones!
Moreover, I am also a player. In such a game world of cooperative survival and development, shouldn’t players help each other and face powerful enemies together? But now, I am like a burden and cannot help.
At the same time it is still a burden, I hope..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Li Xiao interrupted Zhou Qing's eloquence. Different from Zhou Qing's seriousness, there was a smile on his lips, "After saying so much, I understand, you
Don’t you just think that staying at home is dragging me down? It’s simple, I will go out on adventures in the future and take you with me!”
"Huh?" Zhou Qing still had many words left unsaid, but Li Xiao's response forced these words back.
"What did you say?" She thought she heard wrongly and asked again timidly.
"I said, when I go on adventures in the future, I will take you with me!"
Zhou Qing looked at Li Xiao in shock, her eyes full of disbelief, and subconsciously, she asked.
"Why?"
"Why? Didn't you just want to face danger with me? Why did you ask me why?" Li Xiao shook his head and leaned back on the railing again.
"Let's talk about it first. Although I will take you out, because your resurrection times are too few, we have to make an agreement after we go out - I will never let you go to a place that is too dangerous, and when you go outside, you
Everything must be obeyed by me, and..."
This time it was Li Xiao who spoke eloquently. However, halfway through his words, he did not hear Zhou Qing's response. He looked sideways and saw that Zhou Qing was staring at him with an indescribable look.
"Thank you……"
The gloom on Zhou Qing's body was swept away. She stood up and bowed to Li Xiao.
"Also, I'm sorry for breaking your nose last time..."
After saying that, Zhou Qing turned around and ran into the house quickly, leaving only Li Xiao, who was full of question marks, on the balcony.
"Damn it, what happened today?" Li Xiao rested his head on the railing again, took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.
The smile at the corner of his mouth became a little stronger.
"Equality between men and women? Hum, this is the funniest joke I have ever heard in my life..."
The relationship between him and Zhou Qing has always been somewhat tense due to their various personality conflicts. Now, the relationship has eased and everyone is happy.
As for the last time his nose was broken, Li Xiao had never been angry. After all, it was his fault first. Moreover, after getting along with each other for such a long time, Li Xiao also found that neither Zhou Qing nor Zhou Yi had any differences in personality.
All have some flaws——
Zhou Qing is often paranoid and insists on his own way of handling many things, regardless of whether it is right or wrong;
Zhou Yi is very sensitive and easily gets into trouble, just like Lin Daiyu in the novel. Fortunately, she is optimistic most of the time...
If you think about it carefully, you will understand the reason. After all, they are all independent personalities split from "Zhou Qingyi". They will definitely not be as easy to get along with as normal people. After all, they are all "mental patients".
As for giving up house arrest for Zhou Qing, Li Xiao also had his own reasons.
First of all, Dudu Tyrannosaurus Alarm Clock has returned, and his combat power has greatly increased. Nowadays, it cannot be said that he has no rivals on Ark Island. It can only be said that as long as he does not seek death, he will almost never die again. Bring Zhou Qing with you
If you go on an adventure, Zhou Qing's safety can be guaranteed.
Secondly, what Zhou Qing just said - she sits on the balcony every day, thinking about the question of "life or death", which greatly awakened Li Xiao.
If a "mental patient" like Zhou Qing is left alone at home for a long time, and if she gets too distracted and seeks death, then Li Xiao just shoots himself in the foot by locking her in the house to prevent her from getting into danger.
, in the end, they ended up killing themselves...
After running around for several days, Li Xiao was indeed tired. He lay on the railing and blew in the wind. However, his consciousness became blurred for a moment and he was about to fall asleep.
Unfortunately, he was destined to be unable to sleep this time. In a daze, a call came from behind him.
"Li Xiao, what should we have for lunch? I haven't eaten your cooking for a long time!"
The sound came closer along with the footsteps, and the figure who had just left sat back on the railing again.
Turning his head to look, he saw a bright smile on his fair face, and his eyes were as clear as lake water, giving people an extremely intimate feeling.
It is the other personality of this body - Zhou Yi.
"Alas -" Li Xiao sighed, "That's me, if it were anyone else, I would have been driven crazy by you guys!"
He slowly stood up and gently caressed the girl's cheek with his fingers.
