As he spoke, he winked at the boy and said, "You kid, you will have a comfortable life from now on. How about it? Do you feel good?"
Qingyou said calmly, "Hmm"
There was no ripple on his handsome face, no joy to be seen, but instead an indescribable sense of dejection.
The principal noticed something was wrong with him and the teasing look on his face gradually faded.
His eyes fell on the tall and thin boy, and he noticed the dark color under his eyes and the excessive paleness of his face.
His brows furrowed, revealing a hint of worry, "What's wrong, Tada-kun, did something happen to you?"
Qingyou shook his head, "I didn't sleep well last night, don't worry, Principal."
"Is that so..." The principal slowly breathed a sigh of relief, "Then you can go to your office and have a good rest later. You can do your work later. Health is the most important thing, understand?"
"Yes, Tada-kun understands."
The principal nodded in satisfaction, as if it was not enough, and then glared at him again, "You kid, stay up less late in the future, don't rely on your youth to overdraw your life."
After the lecture, he reminded me, "Pay more attention to yourself and don't worry so much when you go to bed at night. It's normal to have insomnia."
The principal said this, with no emotion in his tone, but his sharp eyes glanced meaningfully.
Qingyou was in a trance. He didn't know if the principal had noticed anything, and he didn't ask. He just bowed and replied, "Yes, Duotian will slowly change in the future."
After hearing his statement, the principal withdrew his gaze.
"It's all up to you to know how to control it... Oh, right." As if remembering something, he suddenly brought up another topic, "Sakaki Qi, do you still want to help?"
Qingyou raised his eyes and looked over, "Help?"
"Yes." The principal flipped through the documents on the desk as if nothing had happened. "Although the work of the two of you representatives is a little easier, it is always more efficient to handle it together than individually."
"Not only that, it can also save a lot of unnecessary time, so do you want to go and help again, Tada-kun?"
Qingyou lowered his eyes and did not respond immediately.
His calm expression changed for a few moments, his thin lips slightly opened, as if he wanted to speak, but for some reason he swallowed the words back halfway.
After a long silence, he slowly spoke, "With such a small workload, there is no need to trouble Representative Sakaki again."
This is rejection.
The principal sighed deeply in his heart, but waved his hand without showing any strange expression, "Okay, since you think it's easier to do it alone, then let's do it this way for now. Come to me if you have any questions."
"There's nothing else to do, go down and have a good rest."
"Yes."
Qingyou bowed respectfully and then walked away.
Looking at his back, the principal shook his head.
"What a stubborn and silly boy..."
----
The air is cool in the morning
Even in early spring, the oolong tea in the vending machine is still not iced, just like the cherry blossom petals that have not yet bloomed between the leaves.
I found a chair and sat down. I didn't go back to my office to work right away. I just sat there and looked at the buildings in the distance. The sunlight under the dense leaves was no longer mottled. Only a thin beam of light remained.
[Host, don't you want to take a rest? ]
Seeing that the boy was already a little sleepy, the system suggested again, "You can go back to the office and lie down for a while. After all, there is a sofa, and it is comfortable to lie down."
"talk later."
Qingyou lowered his eyes and looked at the green liquid in the can, shaking it slightly, as if he was watching the rolling waves, or just in a daze.
I don't understand what confusing behavior he is doing.
Seeing that he was totally unwilling to listen, the system simply gave up and stopped paying attention to him.
[I'm going to go to the movies now. If you need anything, please let me know.]
"Ah."
He took a sip of tea, held the can with both hands, his eyes dark, and sat in his seat in a daze.
This peace did not last long, and was soon disturbed by a soft female voice.
"Tada-kun?"
Qingyou looked over and saw a girl with a delicate face standing on the side, her blue skirt fluttering slightly in the wind.
"So you are here~"
"Student Gui Yan." He called the other person's name, then lowered his eyes and returned his gaze to the ground, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"It's about the arrangements for the campus festival." Gui Yanyue answered while sitting next to him naturally, "We have already finalized several plans, and we just need your stamp to confirm them."
As the girl approached, a faint scent of gardenia suddenly filled my nose. Under the blue skirt, the white stockings only extended to the base of the thighs, leaving a small piece of white skin exposed. Just one look at her fleshy texture showed her allure.
This young and delicate body also began to show the charm that belongs only to her age.
Qingyou drank his tea with a calm expression, not even glancing at the girl.
"Okay, got it. I'll go there in a minute." After giving a formal reply, he stopped talking and sat there like a piece of wood, not trying to find any topic to talk about. The atmosphere gradually became stagnant.
Gui Yanyue smiled softly. She didn't feel the atmosphere was awkward. Rather, she hoped that the boy would be like a piece of wood, unable to move.
In this way, even if he lets himself do whatever he wants, the boy can't resist.
Covering her slightly upturned lips with her jade hands, she naturally started to bring up the topic, "Tada-kun, did you have a fight with your elder sister?"
Hearing the name, Qingyou slowly raised his eyes and cast his gaze on the girl.
"quarrel?"
He thought for a moment, "No, it can't be considered a quarrel."
"Eh? Doesn't it count?" Gui Yanyue blinked, looking very confused, "Then why did my elder sister move out?"
"Because the terms of the contract ended early." Qingyou replied calmly, "Miss Guiyan naturally has no need to continue living here."
"Huh?"
Gui Yanyue opened her cherry lips slightly, her expression even more surprised, "But aren't you and my elder sister good friends? Can't you save the relationship..."
"good friend?"
Qingyou chuckled and shook his head, interrupting her words, "Maybe it was once, but now, it's just an employer-employee relationship."
"Why do you say that, Tada-kun?" Gui Yanyue stared at him with her bright eyes, her cheeks puffed up, and she looked a little angry. "Sister is so good to you. Apart from other things, can't she even be regarded as an ordinary friend in your heart now?"
Hearing this, Qingyou was stunned
"Just an ordinary friend...?"
Her eyes slowly moved back to the tea can. She took a sip. A trace of bitterness flashed across her long eyelashes, but her tone was unusually calm. "No, it's just an employer-employer relationship. It has always been like this, whether it was before or now."
"That's too much, Tada-kun!" Gui Yanyue clenched her fists and wanted to continue arguing with him angrily, "How could you..."
"Don't talk too deeply about unimportant things. There's no need." Qingyou waved his hand to interrupt her again.
"I'll finalize the plan later." He stood up from the bench and walked towards the teaching building without giving the girl a chance to speak. "That's all for now. See you later."
"Tada-kun, you are so cold-blooded!!"
Gui Yanyue stood up and shouted at him loudly, her voice full of anger, but the boy did not respond at all, as if he did not hear her, and continued to walk forward until he disappeared from sight.
The girl was left alone there, and the anger that had appeared on her face disappeared in an instant.
The corners of her lips curled up, she smiled silently, lowered her head, and took out a cell phone from her coat pocket, which showed that she was still on the phone.
"I'm sorry, onee-sama, I messed up..."
She whispered this, her voice full of grievance, but the happy smile on her face never disappeared.
----
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's time to go home from school.
Qingyou left the campus early as usual and walked home in the afterglow of the sunset.
After a whole day without sleep, he was already feeling a little sleepy. The dark circles under his eyes had deepened, and his upper eyelids drooped from time to time, and he forced himself to open them again.
Being exhausted both mentally and physically, he could fall asleep in seconds even if he lay down on the ground.
[Damn it, I told you to sleep in school, but you didn't listen. Now you must be feeling bad.] The system angrily scolded him again.
"We're already home, why are you worried, Uncle Tong?" Qingyou forced a smile on his face. Just as he was about to say something else, he found that there were several people carrying things back and forth in front of his house.
His eyebrows furrowed instantly, and he quickened his pace to walk over and ask, "What are you doing?"
"Is this Mr. Tadoda?" A middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader came over and replied politely, "We are moving all of Miss Gui Yan's personal belongings away. It will be done soon. We won't disturb you for long."
"Oh, yes, there is also this." The man handed the key from his trouser pocket to him, "This is what Miss Gui Yan asked me to pass on to you, please accept it."
Qingyou grasped the door key in his hand, and the cold touch in his palm made him feel dazed.
Really, are you leaving just like that?
I walked into the entrance hall in a daze and looked into the living room. Nothing was missing.
but...
Walking into the inner room, Qingyou couldn't find the girl in any room. He stopped, put his hand on his chest, and fell into silence.
It seems like, something is missing...
Chapter 44 Just to Live
The dead leaves in the sky swayed slowly down like a swing. Soon, the surrounding land was covered with dark gray dead branches and leaves. In the darkness, the weather was still hot and cold. It was really terrible.
The air is filled with an indescribable oppressive dampness.
The yellowed wall paint has fallen off, and cold wind is blowing through the cracks in the wall. This is a small room that is no different from a slum. It is the place where he is reborn every time.
It was also his home for 15 years.
"Uhhhhh..."
Under the dim orange light, the young man grasped the corner of the table tightly with both hands. His body was covered with red scratches and marks. Even though there were several larger wounds bleeding, his screams did not stop.
His eyes were bulging out terribly, covered with dense bloodshot, tears of pain mixed with saliva, and snot stuck to his face and dripped onto the floor.
Pain, real pain
The head was shot and turned into a bloody mess.
The pain of being crushed into a meat paste by a roller
The pain of having my limbs suddenly broken and being cut into pieces by a knife.
The soul is like being tortured, slowly being burned and pulled away
The pain from the 24th death swept through my body at this moment and continued
He fainted more than once from this pain that was worse than death, and was awakened by intense pain the next second. It was as if his soul was cut into pieces. He could not escape the pain by losing consciousness, but could only force himself to feel it most intuitively until it ended.
"Ahh...ah...uh...ah..."
"Oh... Ugh... It hurts... Ahhhhh..."
His body kept twitching and rolling on the ground, a lot of white foam came out of his mouth, his bulging eyes rolled up, and his unclear screams never stopped.
it hurts....
Really... it hurts... it hurts...
How long...will I...
pain...
pain....
.....
The house was already dark, and only a few rays of sunlight shining through the half-open windows could make out everything inside.
