It was said to be "bright", but the sky was still covered with dark clouds.
This village, still shrouded in silence, welcomes a new day.
After Gao Ying escaped with Jiao Chaoming, he returned to the original house. As for the book, he hadn't shown it to Ji Yixuan yet. It wasn't entirely because of suspicion of cheating. It wasn't like he couldn't wait until the skeleton closed its eyes and showed it to him. .However, he didn’t want Ji Yixuan to see the pattern in this book. After all, there was no guarantee that seeing the pattern would not lead to disaster. However, using the time when the skeleton closed its eyes, he gave the two key answers. I told Ji Yixuan.
Cheating definitely involves risks, but for Ji Yixuan, who has saved Gao Ying continuously, he is willing to take this risk. Ji Yixuan is worthy of what he does!
And this is Gao Ying’s determination!
Frankly speaking, Ji Yixuan was extremely happy to find that Gao Ying came back alive. He thought that Gao Ying must be dead, but he didn't expect that he was still alive! Not only that, he also brought back the answers to new questions! Ji Yixuan's answer to Gao Ying Ying was very trusting, so he also filled in the answers Gao Ying said! However, Shen Junhao was lucky because he was with him, so he also copied down the answers.
It's just that... the completed questions are still too few compared to the total number of questions. There are still quite a lot of questions that are still blank. Fortunately, there are still two days left to complete the questions.
Although a lot of things have happened on this day,... the most critical issue, that is, the source of the taboo on sound, is still a mystery. This mystery is not solved, and it always makes people feel like they are stuck in the throat. Gao Ying decided to wait until the next time the skeleton closes his eyes. , tell Ji Yixuan the hypothesis of parallel space as quickly as possible.
Frankly speaking, this night was very difficult for Ji Yixuan. After all, he thought Gao Ying was dead before, and even people like Gao Ying would die, so how long could he live? The long night, the thought of bleakness On the road ahead, he felt darkness in front of him. He might never see his mother again, and it would be impossible to see Yixin again. The so-called eternal life was obviously just a castle in the air. It was precisely because of such fear and despair that when Seeing Gao Ying come back alive gave Ji Yixuan a strong sense of hope again.
At this time, he couldn't help but think of O. Henry's short story "The Last Leaf". The desperate patient lost confidence in survival when looking at the withered trees outside the window, but a painter painted the last word on the tree. A leaf finally brought the patient back to life. In fact...whether the disease can be cured has nothing to do with the leaves? However, Gao Ying, who returned, became Ji Yixuan's last leaf. This made him doubt his inner feelings. Despair feels a trace of regret. In reality, many patients who are terminally ill and declared dead by doctors may survive according to their own will. Once he loses confidence in survival, it is impossible for him to survive.
"Thank you, Gao Ying, thank you for surviving."
Gao Ying was actually also confused as to why Ji Yixuan was so excited when he came back. If it weren't for that taboo, he might even burst into tears.
However, he immediately thought...Ji Yixuan, what was he thinking about.
The long night has passed like this. Although the sunshine is shrouded by clouds, but...the sunshine is still more hopeful than the moonlight. Today is another new day.
Looking at the sunshine outside the window, Gao Ying checked the test paper in his hand again, and began to think about how to arrange the next day. He always felt that the current candidates were working independently and scattered, which was really inefficient. If it could be done
Integrating the surviving candidates may lead to better results. But... the current Gao Ying really doesn't have much prestige at all. How can it be so easy to integrate the remaining candidates? To paraphrase Ge You's lines in "A World Without Thieves",
People's hearts are scattered and it's hard to lead the team.
At this moment, Ji Yixuan's words interrupted Gao Ying's thoughts.
"I am an illegitimate child, Gao Ying."
Gao Ying was a little overwhelmed by this sudden confession. Because Ji Yixuan's voice was very low, his first reaction was whether he heard it wrong? So he asked again: "What did you just say...
?”
"Illegitimate child. To put it simply...I am the mistress's child."
For the first time since his birth, Ji Yixuan took the initiative to tell his deepest secret in front of a person. This life experience has always tortured him like a curse, reminding him that his birth was accompanied by the original sin of his parents, which was unethical.
A product of immorality. However, in front of Gao Ying, he felt that there was no need to hide it. In this world, no one would care about morality and immorality, because here, survival is the first priority.
Gao Ying was very surprised by this confession. It took his brain a few seconds to receive this information. Then, he immediately thought that he must not show any shocked expression at this time. After all, with a life experience like Ji Yixuan's,
He must be sensitive and fragile inside, and he couldn't let Ji Yixuan feel that he would discriminate against him.
But...he discovered that even though he was resourceful, he couldn't think of the most appropriate opening statement at this time. It seemed that no matter what he said, it would be awkward.
Ji Yixuan naturally knew what Gao Ying was thinking at this time. He tilted his head and looked out the window at the sunlight that was gradually shining on the earth, and continued to whisper softly: "I know what you are thinking in your mind at this time. My existence
, yes... As you can imagine, I have always felt that my birth was superfluous and even meaningless. However, until I met my half-sister,
Only then did I feel that there was a dawn in my life. It turned out that my existence could be meaningful..."
"Yixuan..."
Gao Ying realized something at this time. Ji Yixuan told the most secret things in his heart, which showed that... he truly accepted himself as a life and death companion. Therefore, he must also face Yixuan's attitude seriously.
"You have done nothing wrong. There is no fault in your existence."
Gao Ying said this with very sincere words. There was no politeness in this sentence. This was his real thought. And his words also made Ji Yixuan raise his head.
He is not at fault. Ji Yixuan himself knows this. However, this is just a common truth. In the eyes of the world, this is his biggest original sin. So far, except for his mother, only Yi Xin has ever done anything to him.
He releases the greatest kindness. And now, there is one more person, and that is Gao Ying.
"So, you don't need to be mentally burdened by this kind of thing. You are fully qualified to obtain happiness, and you are fully qualified to obtain eternal life. To me, you are the benefactor who saved my life, and even more... I will Companions who stand side by side."
Companions who work side by side...
Ji Yixuan nodded heavily, and then the two of them stretched out their hands almost at the same time, and then held their hands tightly together.
The two of them have become the most steadfast comrades who can trust each other with their lives!
In fact, Gao Ying still feels very good about this feeling. If he is the only one on this road to eternal life, and he doesn't care about the life and death of others, then he will become extremely lonely.
"We will all survive...and have a life without end!"
…
"You like your sister very much?"
"Yes... when we get along, we are no different from ordinary brothers and sisters."
"Come on... go back alive and see your sister."
At this time, Gao Ying, Ji Yixuan, Shen Junhao, and Jiao Chaoming gathered together. Jiao Chaoming and Gao Ying agreed to act together with him.
After Ji Yixuan and Gao Ying finished talking, they looked at the newly joined Jiao Chaoming with some doubts. Jiao Chaoming's expression made everyone look like he was bitter and resentful.
"Huh?" At this moment, Jiao Chaoming suddenly asked a question in confusion: "Is there another person?"
"There is another person?" Gao Ying understood immediately and said: "You mean...Hou Mingbo? He is already dead. Last night...died."
"Dead?" Jiao Chaoming sighed and said, "That's such a pity."
At this time, he had not yet realized what a horrific scene he had seen last night...
