Chapter 24

After Rong Hua came with the news this time, Ling Li was a little bit cheered up, but there was still a gloomy look between his brows.

Su Jingyang accompanies Lingli to sleep every night, but when the five-day period ends, he will still return to his room. Even if he knew that the system would not let Ling Li find out that he suddenly disappeared in the middle of the night, it would make him feel awkward to come back and continue to lie beside Ling Li after the incident.

During this period, System No. 1 finally appeared briefly once to answer some of the doubts that Su Jingyang had accumulated.

Su Jingyang's first problem was that the guy in the dream had self-consciousness from time to time, otherwise he would be angry and awkward, and the first two times he always tried to draw and remember his facial features with his hands, although he avoided them in the end. .

System One told him that this was absolutely impossible.

"He has no self-consciousness, and is still under complete control to do things according to instructions. It's just that his willpower is very strong, so he has some instinctive personality reactions and actions. But don't worry, even if he perceives your outline at that time, I won't remember when I wake up."

Su Jingyang was very depressed, "That is to say... even if he realizes that this five-day dream is not right, and wants to refuse and resist, he can only obey the system's instructions, right?"

"right."

Su Jingyang's eyes were stagnant, and his chest was panicked, "I have been resisting him, but maybe he will also disgust me after he wakes up. After all, it is I who have implicated others."

System No. 1 said: "I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry?" Su Jingyang twitched the corners of his mouth, "If saying sorry can bring me back to the world before, I can say 10,000, 100,000 sentences to you without hesitation."

System No. 1 was dumbfounded for a long time before he said worriedly: "Our original intention was to help those in need, listen to their wishes, and solve problems for them, but we never thought that it would turn into a weapon for harm. What makes me uneasy is that now it is not just overkill and extreme, but a pure vent. By the way... you better talk to it in the future with a little peace of mind, otherwise, he will also take the opportunity to absorb the negativity in you. Energy, it will become stronger. Things will be more difficult then.”

"..." I'm fucking calm!

System No. 1 smiled bitterly, "I know you're aggrieved, but you should do as I do, otherwise the energy you collect will never catch up with the speed at which it absorbs grievances, and it will be difficult to offset it."

Su Jingyang gritted his teeth, feeling that he was about to explode.

Su Jingyang often gave those little beggars the food that could not be eaten in the restaurant, and collected some energy every day. Most of the rest of the energy came from Lingli, especially in the days when Lin Ji Xiaoguan started. Lingli's gratitude was almost endless. Su Jingyang almost thought that the progress bar was half finished. , the numbers displayed by the progress bar are still a joke.

System No. 1 was silent for a moment, then sighed heavily, "I'm already severely restrained, and if I give you a reminder, I'm afraid I'll never be able to get out, but..."

Su Jingyang listened to his struggling tone, his chest heaved for a while and he didn't answer.

Before System No. 1 disappeared, he relented and told him to remind him. It is to tell him to do good things and not always stick to trivial things, but to focus on a larger spiritual level, such as helping to fulfill a person's biggest wish in life, such as promoting a beautiful marriage, or helping to solve the problem for many years. Heart knot, help separated relatives to reunite and so on.

If you succeed in such a situation, it is often easier to get an explosive and concentrated energy value, which will be many times more than what you usually get by helping an old man or giving beggars.

Su Jingyang was very depressed. He hadn't thought about this before, but he was finally guided in a new direction, and the negative emotions in his heart gradually dissipated.

Regarding the biggest wish in life, the first question Su Jingyang asked was Lingli.

Ling Li was cutting vegetables in the kitchen at home. Before Su Jingyang's question could be heard, Ling Li seemed to have accidentally cut his hand because he was shaking his head, and blood immediately gushed out.

Lingli stared at the blood on his hand, standing there indifferent. Su Jingyang hurriedly pulled him to the water tank, rinsed his hands with water, and then dragged him into the house to bandage him.

Su Jingyang murmured in a low voice and blamed himself: "I shouldn't have distracted you when you were chopping vegetables."

In the dead of night, Su Jingyang and Lingli were sitting at the table in the hall. The lights on the table were dim, which reflected the two people's silhouettes and eyes very softly.

As soon as Su Jingyang tied the gauze to Lingli, a wave of energy melted into his body immediately. Lingli is like this, Su Jingyang usually helps him pour water, and he can get a lot of colorful small circles from him.

Su Jingyang said, "I hurt my hand today, so don't do it, just take a good rest, okay?"

Lingli agreed, and Su Jingyang said while packing the medicine box, "You've worked so hard, you've done well enough, and the guests are full of praise, and you're still doing so much research."

Ling Li looked at his face and said softly, "But I want to do better, I don't want to disappoint you."

After hearing this, Su Jingyang shook his head in disapproval, and said seriously: "The original intention of opening the Lin Ji Xiaoguan is to let you ensure a worry-free life, not to put you under pressure, so don't bother when you come back every night in the future. Tired enough."

Lingli's eyes were as clear as water, and he shook his head to say that he was not tired.

The corner of Lingli's mouth moved, and he said again: "By the way, Jingyang, you asked me about that..."

Su Jingyang heard a smile on his lips, and he said, "I just want to know Ah Li's wish. Say it, maybe I can help you fulfill it."

"Want to fulfill my wish?" Ling Li looked at Su Jingyang, his eyes were fixed on Su Jingyang for a moment, and then he asked softly, "Jingyang, why do you always treat me so well?"

"Why? Why use it for you?" Su Jingyang answered without hesitation.

Ling Li's breath was in a mess, and suddenly it seemed that he didn't dare to meet his clear eyes, so he quickly closed his eyes, "Maybe, maybe I'm not worth it at all."

"If I say it's worth it, it's worth it." Su Jingyang said, "You haven't told me yet, what is your greatest wish?"

Ling Li shook his head and stopped talking. Su Jingyang put his hands on his shoulders and leaned over to ask, "Speak, speak, Li."

Ling Li seemed to have been looking down at his wrapped finger, and after Su Jingyang's repeated questioning, he pursed his lips and said slowly, "My biggest wish is... I don't want to be separated from you for the rest of my life. "

Su Jingyang's heart trembled when he heard it, and he was stunned.

He had thought that Lingli's wish might be to clear his reputation in the town, or to find his adoptive father's ashes for burial, or to keep Ah Xuan healthy, but Su Jingyang never thought that it was related to him.

However, he was destined to not be able to do it. He still has to leave.

Lingli didn't hear Su Jingyang's response, and he immediately understood most of it. He still lowered his head, but his breath was clearly trembling, "Jingyang, in the future... you're going to leave me after all, right?"

Su Jingyang was caught off guard by his question, anxious and flustered, his mouth moved and moved, and he was a little reluctant to answer this question.

Before he asked Lingxin about his wishes, he never expected to jump to this question.

His silence made Lingli head lower, and suddenly, a teardrop began to drip down, smashing on the hand that had just been bandaged.

Su Jingyang hurriedly said, "Ali, don't cry! Don't cry!"

Ling Li raised his face that was already full of tears. He didn't cry much, even forbearance, but he looked a little embarrassed. His cheeks flushed, and he tightly grasped Su Jingyang's hand, like a drowning person holding a unique piece of Driftwood that can save itself, such a force. Efforts to restrain the choked tone, Lingli begged Su Jingyang intermittently: "Can we not go? Let's take Ah Xuan and live like this, no one else, no one else, the three of us live like this, it's pretty good , Jingyang, I, I love you... I can't bear you to leave, I'm afraid, I don't know how I'll live without you by my side, I don't dare to think..."

Before Ling Li's words were finished, Su Jingyang suddenly reached out and hugged him. Su Jingyang stroked his back lightly, Ling Li almost subconsciously wrapped his arms around Su Jingyang, the tighter he tightened, Su Jingyang felt a little bit hurt by him.

Su Jingyang felt the wetness on his shoulders getting heavier and heavier, frowned, and when Ling Li cried, he really didn't know what to do, let alone crying like this.

Su Jingyang's eyes were flushed, and he said angrily, "I've made A Li so sad, I wouldn't have asked if I had known."

Ling Li shook his head in his arms, weeping silently, and one hand tightly grasped the clothes on his body.

Su Jingyang had no way to promise Lingli that he would not leave for the rest of his life, nor could he comfort him at this moment, "The moon is full of yin and sunshine, and people have joys and sorrows." Su Jingyang could only hug him like this and comfort him.

In fact, when the time comes to leave here and go home, Su Jingyang will definitely be reluctant to leave the mausoleum.

But... he still wants to go home, he is not from this world at all. Facing Lingli's tears, Su Jingyang suddenly felt that he was so ruthless.

The two of them still slept together that night. Long after the lights were turned off, Su Jingyang with his eyes wide open knew that Ling Li was also awake.

Su Jingyang thought about it for a long time, and finally turned slightly sideways in his direction, Ling Li felt his movement, moved slightly, and turned his face to him.

In the darkness, the two of them were facing each other, and Su Jingyang spoke in a soft and soft voice: "Ali, I don't want to lie to you, I tell you, I'm trying to find a way to go home now."

Ling Li's breath moved slightly, and his voice was slightly nasal, "...Going home?"

Lingli always thought he was homeless, and this was the first time he heard the word starting from him.

"Well, my home is far, far away, so far away that you can't imagine... I have a way to leave, but ah that way is difficult to do, I'm afraid I have to wait for many years before leaving, so don't be sad, I still It will be there. When you are sad, it makes me feel bad."

Lingli grabbed Su Jingyang's sleeve and hurriedly asked, "How far? How far? I still have Ah Xuan, can I go back with you?!"

No need to ask the system Su Jingyang to know that this is just a fictional world. It would be difficult for him to go back to the sky, let alone bring two people back.

Su Jingyang hesitated for a while, but chose to tell the truth: "My place is very special, only I can go back alone, Li, you..."

Ling Li's breathing seemed to be stagnant for a while, and he didn't ask Su Jingyang why he was the only one who could go back, and the hand that grabbed him gradually became weaker. After being silent for a long time, Su Jingyang thought he couldn't speak anymore, so he listened to his tone and repeated a sentence: "Only... can you go back alone?"

Su Jingyang felt uncomfortable and hummed softly.

Lingli asked again, "Jingyang, is this your greatest wish?"

Su Jingyang didn't say anything.

After Lingli was deadly silent for a long time, he suddenly turned over and turned his back to Su Jingyang.

"...Jingyang, you know, what am I thinking now?"

Ling Li's low voice suddenly came, and before Su Jingyang could answer, Ling Li had already said to himself: "I'm thinking... how can I trick you into telling you the so-called way to go home, and then I'll go. Destroy it to stop it and keep you from leaving. I'm thinking, how can I do my best to fulfill my wish."

"Ali???" Su Jingyang was so shocked that his body was propped up, his hand paused, and he touched his shoulder, Su Jingyang could feel his shoulder trembling slightly.

"You're scared, aren't you?" Ling Li noticed his shocked tone, his breath trembled violently, his tone was like crying instead of crying, and there was a strong sense of self-loathing in his words, "You always say that I am good, in fact, I really No, I'm not good at all. I'm shameless and selfish at the bottom of my heart. I said that I would try my best to repay you, but I didn't. You want to help me fulfill my wish, but I just want to destroy your wish. I even If I want to keep concealing and destroying it all the time, I am actually such a person, and this is the most real me."

Su Jingyang's heart was aching from his pain, and he leaned over to pull Ling Li's body over, and said to him in an unprecedentedly solemn tone: "Ali, don't talk about yourself like that. Hello, you are really good."

Su Jingyang has been with Lingli for so many days and nights, and he is very clear about his disposition. Su Jingyang was indeed a little surprised just now, but he will not change his opinion of him just because of these few words.

"You think so because you care about me too much, don't you?" Su Jingyang rubbed his hand on his tear-stained cheek, felt his hot and humid breathing, wiped the tears gently with his hand, and tried his best to speak. The soft: "Actually, everyone has such a side, which is normal, it's just because you are too kind, so you are scared by yourself. You don't like me, I sometimes encounter That kind of annoying and annoying person has already tortured him thousands of times in my head and I still feel pissed! But as long as you don't actually do anything to hurt others, it doesn't matter."

Su Jingyang was talking, but found that Lingli's tears were even more turbulent.

"No, no, I'm not kind." Lingli grabbed Su Jingyang's hand to wipe his tears, shook his head vigorously, with a suppressed cry, "I've done something to hurt you, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry Jing Yang, I'm ashamed, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

He kept saying sorry as if to atone for his sins, Su Jingyang was anxious: "You raised me fat and white, why are you sorry for me? Also, I really won't leave now, A Li, A Li is obedient, we Stop thinking about it, okay?"

However, Ling Li seemed to have his throat blocked again, so choked that he couldn't even say sorry. Even if Su Jingyang couldn't see his face clearly, he could sense that his whole body was filled with endless sadness.

Su Jingyang felt exhausted and helpless in his heart, and caressed his trembling back with his hands, not knowing how to persuade him.

I originally planned to go to Jincheng alone after a while, but now it seems that I have to make another plan.

The two of them didn't sleep for almost the whole night, so they lay on the bed quietly until the light outside, Su Jingyang said to Ling Li, who had his back turned to him, in a clear and usual tone: "Ali, let's have breakfast in the morning. Egg pancakes and sesame porridge, I'll do it!"

Ling Li still didn't turn around, just called in a hoarse voice to him who was about to get out of bed when he got up.

"Jingyang."

Su Jingyang sat beside the bed and immediately looked back at him.

"Actually..." Ling Li paused for a long time before continuing to speak, his voice was so light that it seemed that he was about to disappear, "Actually, Ayi and I were just a misunderstanding."

Misunderstanding?! Su Jingyang was stunned by this sentence, and even his breathing became cautious.

Su Jingyang really didn't know why Ling Li said this all of a sudden, and he didn't know what his words meant. He just felt that everything in his mind was confused. Su Jingyang didn't understand, it was so obvious before, how could it be a misunderstanding? What happened that he didn't know about?!

Su Jingyang was full of consternation and confusion. He wanted to know what was going on, but Ling Li was obviously vulnerable to the extreme at this time. Su Jingyang didn't want to make him sad anymore, so he calmed down and suppressed the desire to continue asking questions. He comforted, "Then let's leave him alone, my Ah Li will definitely meet the person he loves deeply in the future."

Su Jingyang stayed with him for a while, put on his shoes, got up and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Ling Li was stunned as he listened to the movement of his departure, his pale lips trembled, he raised his hand to cover his swollen eyes, his hair stuck to his face in embarrassment, as if endless tears flowed down his fingers. It slipped silently, soaking the still-dry pillow again.

The one who loves deeply will not be there again in this life, never will be.

Su Jingyang was a little uneasy, and always felt that after that day, Ling Li's eyes always inadvertently revealed a dead silence like still water, which made him feel inexplicably sad. Su Jingyang has always wondered in his heart, is it because A Yi said something before, Ling Li pretended to be calm to the critical point, and because he said he was leaving, he suddenly lost control of his emotions under the double blow.

Ling Li seemed to know what he was thinking, and with a clear and soft smile, he denied everything.

"It really has nothing to do with Ayi, I just miss my child so much, and that day too... I miss Axuan, and I heard you say that you would be too reluctant to leave in the future, so I haven't been able to control my emotions. It's not because of Ayi. I There's really nothing between you and him from beginning to end." Ling Li's last sentence was very serious.

Su Jingyang was suspicious, "But Ah Li, your state is not right."

Ling Li was stunned for a moment before he touched his face subconsciously and said, "Is that so? It's obvious, how could it be, I..." He quickly bent his mouth and smiled at Su Jingyang, "Maybe, during this time. The reason why I haven’t slept well, I will try my best to adjust, I will definitely adjust…”

Su Jingyang had no choice but to wait for Ah Xuan to come back. With the company of his children, Ling Li should be better.

The night when Rong Ci came back with Ah Xuan in his arms, Su Jingyang picked up eggs next to the chicken coop again. The scene was so similar, but when Su Jingyang looked back, what he saw was not the back of Ah Yi who entered the house indifferently, but just bumped into the house. The dark eyes he looked over at him.

A Xuan, who was lying on Rong Ci's shoulder and was about to fall asleep, saw Su Jingyang's energy immediately, he straightened up and stretched out his hand towards him happily, "Uncle, uncle!"

When Ling Li heard the movement, he hurried out of the house, took the child over, kissed and kissed with tears in his eyes, and then kept saying thank you to Rong Ci.

Rong Ci gave a light hum, turned around and was about to leave, Ling Li suddenly said, "Ayi, have a late night snack before leaving."

Without waiting for Rongci to respond, Lingli turned to face him again and stood there without moving Su Jingyang: "Jingyang, I'm going to bathe the child, can you help me get some egg pancakes?"

Su Jingyang said, "Okay, okay." He went to the kitchen with the eggs he just picked up. After the busy work came out, Ah Xuan was already asleep, while Ling Li and Rong Ci sat on each side silently, the atmosphere was eerily quiet.

……What's going on here???

Su Jingyang, who had eaten a late-night snack, was hairy all over, but he felt that Rongci had been staring at him with an unclear expression. Su Jingyang was biting the soft cake, and his heart was pounding, what are you looking at, what's wrong!

Rong Ci disappeared for a few days after this night before returning home. How did Su Jingyang find out that he had come home? It was that chicken that flew to the next door as if it had been beaten with blood in the morning, Su Jingyang knew, oh, next door The wild man who seduced it is back.

Su Jingyang went to knock on the door to catch the chicken. This time, he didn't wait long, and the door opened. Rong Ci in black appeared behind the door, holding the chicken in his hand and reaching out to him.

Su Jingyang said thank you, took it and was about to leave when he caught a glimpse of the Pixiu jade pendant around his waist.

Su Jingyang: "…………"

Rong Ci folded his arms and stared at him and said, "It's not that you wear it because you like it. It's just that you are so stingy. If I don't wear what I send out, you will definitely find an excuse to go back."

Su Jingyang held the chicken and took a step back in shock after reacting. How could this person know that the jade pendant was given by him??! Ah Li, what did Ah Li do??

Su Jingyang turned his head and wanted to run back to ask Lingli, but was grabbed by Que Rongci and pulled him back to him. Facing Su Jingyang's nervously blinking big eyes, Rong Ci lowered his head slightly, his black eyes stared at him, and said in a cold tone: "Su Jingyang, if your stupid brain dares to mess with me in the future, you can just chop it yourself and take it. Go feed the pigs!"
