    Chapter 127 Twins

    However, the comfort of words is only a drop in the bucket in the face of reality.

    Whether it was the Cheng family twins or the other people in the villa, they were all depressed because of this entrance. As a person who just entered Obsidian, Ye Niao didn't know much about this organization, but even so, he felt an extremely solemn atmosphere. He was originally a lively character, but during this time he didn't even dare to speak too loudly.

    It wasn't until a few days later that it was finally time for the twins to enter the door.

    It was a very nice morning. Lu Yanxue made a hearty breakfast with Cheng Qianli's favorite xiao long bao in it. Cheng Qianli ate it happily, almost one bite at a time, like a hamster stockpiling grain.

    Lin Qiushi's appetite is quite average. He feels that his mentality at this time is a bit like a parent who is waiting to see his child's college entrance examination results. too much.

    While everyone was eating, Cheng Yixie and Cheng Qianli suddenly stood up, and the two turned around and went to the second floor.

    Lin Qiushi saw their backs and instantly understood what was going to happen next. He was inexplicably nervous, and he didn't even hold the chopsticks in his hand firmly and fell on the table.

    Lu Yanxue was the only girl in Obsidian after Zhuang Rujiao left. She smiled reluctantly: "Will they be all right? Brother Ruan?"

    Ruan Nanzhu sat next to Lin Qiushi with his eyes down. Facing Lu Yanxue's question, he did not give any answer.

    The tenth door, even he himself, cannot promise to come out alive.

    Under normal circumstances, the time of a door in reality is only ten minutes.

    Lin Qiushi never felt that ten minutes could be so difficult. He stared at the watch in his hand, watching the second hand move forward a little bit, and even held his breath involuntarily, until he realized that he was out of breath, and then he gasped quickly. Two breaths.

    "I want to drink some wine, do you want to drink?" Chen Fei suddenly got up and said anxiously.

    "Well." Lin Qiushi nodded.

    Ruan Nanzhu glanced at Lin Qiushi, but didn't even persuade him.

    So Chen Fei went to get a bottle of Maotai, and then a group of people started drinking in the early morning.

    The sun cast mottled spots from the window, but it made people feel that there was no temperature. Lin Qiushi sipped the wine in the glass, and the atmosphere in the whole room was terrifyingly quiet.

    However, the judgment they were waiting for finally came.

    At 9:18 in the morning, there was a howl from upstairs.

    Like everyone else, Lin Qiushi's complexion changed drastically. They hurried upstairs and saw the twins who were supposed to be sitting on the bed in the bedroom.

    It's just that one is holding the other at this time, and the one being held keeps spitting out bright red blood - Lin Qiushi has never seen so much blood, one bite after another, staining the sheets, the carpet, and everything in front of him. .

    "No!! No!!!" The roar sounded like a dying cry, and the one left behind let out a shrill cry, "Don't leave me, Qianli, Qianli—"

    Cheng Qianli, who was being held in his arms, didn't seem to have much energy to say. He opened his eyes wide, but his eyes began to wander. He slowly stroked Cheng Yixie's cheek with his fingers, barely showing a smile, and let out a low voice. elder brother.

    "Ahhhh!!!" Cheng Yixie screamed like a madman, with a grief-stricken look as if he was watching a part of his soul slowly die.

    "120, hit 120!!" Lu Yanxue was already in tears, she shook her hand and hit 120, then rushed in front of Cheng Qianli, holding Cheng Qianli's hand, and said: "Qianli, Qianli, hold on, Qianli— "

    Cheng Qianli did not speak, the look in his eyes began to fade, the breath on his body gradually weakened, like a painting that had faded and turned black and white, the cold breath swept over his body, he opened his mouth hard and called He said, "Brother," and then used all his strength to squeeze out a few words: "No...sad."

    Looking at this scene, Lin Qiushi covered his face, he slowly turned around, leaned against the wall, and his whole body froze.

    The cries of Lu Yanxue and Cheng Yixie were in his ears, like the sound of sad music.

    What's the use of an ambulance, they all know the price of failure.

    Cheng Yixie finally rejected the medical staff. When they came, Cheng Qianli's breathing had stopped, and he was unwilling to let his beloved brother leave his arms for a moment.

    Ruan Nanzhu didn't speak until Cheng Qianli's death was confirmed, he turned around and went to the toilet, brought a clean towel over, squatted in front of Cheng Yixie, and wiped the blood on Cheng Qianli's face little by little. clean.

    Cheng Yixie watched Ruan Nanzhu's movements quietly. All the stars in his eyes fell, leaving only an endless darkness. He finally opened his mouth and said, "Brother Ruan."

    Ruan Nanzhu looked up at him.

    Cheng Yixie said, "I want to quit Obsidian."

    Ruan Nanzhu didn't answer, the two met eyes, he understood Cheng Yixie's eyes, and he said, "Give you a vacation."

    Cheng Yixie was silent.

    Ruan Nanzhu stretched out his hand and pressed his shoulder. The words were so weak at this time. He stretched out his finger and gently touched Cheng Qianli's cheek.

    "I was wrong." Cheng Yixie said, "You are right."

    Ruan Nanzhu didn't know what to say, but just coughed lowly, as if to suppress some emotions gushing out of his throat.

    "This door is too difficult. In the end, there are only two of us left." Cheng Yixie looked down at his brother's cheek and said calmly, "He's been stupid all his life, but he's only smart once." There was no pain, but tears kept pouring out of his eyes, as if he could no longer control it.

    "It's just so smart." Cheng Yixie put his forehead on Cheng Qianli's forehead, and he said, "It's all my fault."

    In his eyes, Cheng Qianli was a child who didn't grow up, but now, he finally doesn't have to grow up anymore.

    Cheng Qianli will never be able to pass his eighteenth birthday. His time is stuck at this moment, unable to move forward a minute and a second.

    No one said a word of comfort, no one told Cheng Yixie to persevere and endure, everything will pass. They knew in their hearts that this matter would never go away. All the words were perfunctory and deceitful, and they completely lost the kid who laughed like a fool.

    Lu Yanxue howled, accompanied by Yi Manman's sobbing.

    Ruan Nanzhu turned and left the room and went downstairs. Lin Qiushi shrank in the corner, like a solidified stone statue.

    I have seen too many partings, but I still can't get used to it. The little corgi toast who was sleeping downstairs also seemed to feel something and ran up the stairs in a panic, but when he found that his master would never move again When the time came, it let out a rapid roar, trying to wake Cheng Qianli, who seemed to have woken up, from his dream.

    But this is not a dream, or even a dream, a nightmare that cannot be woken up.

    Lin Qiushi couldn't breathe, he was in such pain, not to mention Cheng Yixie, who was the twin of Cheng Qianli. That was the feeling that Lin Qiushi dared not imagine.

    Lin Qiushi didn't have much impression of how he spent the day in the end.

    It's like the human body's self-defense mechanism, in the face of certain memories, the conditioned reflex is weakened. But Cheng Qianli's pale face was deeply imprinted in Lin Qiushi's mind. He remembered it so clearly that he couldn't sleep for a long time.

    Then comes the funeral.

    The twins' parents hurried over. They originally wanted to take Cheng Qianli back to their hometown, but they were rejected by Cheng Yixie.

    Cheng Yixie said that he wanted Cheng Qianli to stay by his side, but his parents could not persuade him, so they let him.

    In just a few days, Cheng Yixie lost weight, and even a piece of white hair appeared on his temples.

    He was only seventeen years old at this time, which should have been the age of flowers.

    Cheng Yixie held Cheng Qianli's urn and put it into the small tomb.

    The tomb is divided into two parts, Cheng Yixie is written on one side, and Cheng Qianli is written on the other side. Cheng Yixie probably thought that he would go first, and even gilded his name in gold, but the reality was completely different from what he expected.

    "I'm the most selfish one." At the funeral, Cheng Yixie said to the tombstone, "I want to go by myself and leave him behind."

    However, the one left behind was the most tragic. He suddenly laughed and said, "At least he doesn't have to suffer from all this."

    Lin Qiushi looked at his smile and wanted him to stop laughing, but he couldn't say it. In fact, he could count on one hand what he said these days.

    After the funeral, Cheng Yixie disappeared.

    His room was still the same as it was, just missing a few pieces of clothes and a suitcase.

    Lin Qiushi was the first to discover this. He asked Ruan Nanzhu where Cheng Yixie went, and Ruan Nanzhu replied, "I don't know."

    Lin Qiushi was silent.

    "I don't know where he went, and I don't know where he can go." Ruan Nanzhu said in a calm tone, "He has been at Obsidian since he entered the door, and Obsidian is where he belongs."

    Lin Qiushi looked at Ruan Nanzhu, and his eyes were a little blank.

    Ruan Nanzhu sighed softly, embraced Lin Qiushi in his arms, and gave him a soothing kiss. He said, "Some things were already expected."

    "Including death?" Lin Qiushi asked.

    "Naturally, it includes." Ruan Nanzhu said, "Everyone has to experience death, sooner or later."

    Lin Qiushi said: "But their deaths came too early." They are still so young, they have never experienced anything, they should have more time, they...

    Ruan Nanzhu said: "God is unfair."

    If Cheng Yixie and Cheng Qianli were born with healthy bodies, they would not enter the door. The door is a hardship, but it gave them more time so that they could take a good look at the world. It's just that the gift has an end, and falling from heaven to hell is the most painful thing.

    That night, Ruan Nanzhu and Lin Qiushi slept together, and Lin Qiushi said, "Did Cheng Yixie take that kind of clue?"

    Ruan Nanzhu: "Yes."

    Lin Qiushi was silent.

    "Some things have to pay a price sooner or later." Ruan Nanzhu said, "And the price is much more painful than you think."

    Lin Qiushi was about to say something, but he felt that Ruan Nanzhu had put a piece of candy in his mouth.

    "Success." Ruan Nanzhu replied.

    Lin Qiushi didn't know what to say. During this time, his silence became more and more frequent and longer.

    Ruan Nanzhu seemed to sense his helplessness, stretched out his arms to embrace him, and said softly, "Go to sleep."

    Lin Qiushi closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

    Cheng Qianli's death seemed to break the serene illusion in the villa, and a heavy atmosphere began to spread in the villa.

    Lu Yanxue often starts to wipe her tears when she is cooking, and she doesn't know if it is because she saw a certain ingredient and thought of someone who likes to eat it.

    Toast was depressed for a long time after he found out that his master was gone, but only managed to recover under the comfort of Chestnut.

    Lin Qiushi always had an unreal feeling about the Gemini's departure, as if the next moment when he returned to the living room, he could see Cheng Qianli sitting on the sofa watching TV silly. This illusion was not broken until one night.

    He came down from the upstairs that day and saw horror movies on the TV in the living room. The people watching horror movies on the sofa were wrapped in quilts and looked very scared. Looking at this scene, Lin Qiushi blurted out: "A thousand miles?!"

    However, Ye Niao's face was exposed in the quilt. He looked at Lin Qiushi and whispered, "Qiushi?"

    The moment he saw Ye Niao's face, Lin Qiushi finally realized that he would never see Cheng Qianli again. It was a feeling that could not be described in words. To the cruel and bloody truth.

    "It's okay." Lin Qiushi turned around.

    Ye Niao called Qiu Shi again, but saw that Lin Qiushi turned around and went upstairs. There was a little worry in his expression, because he clearly saw that after seeing his face, Lin Qiushi's cheeks were covered with tears. Lin Qiushi seems to have mistaken himself for Cheng Qianli... I don't know why, Ye Niao felt a little regret in his heart. It would be great if he could join Obsidian earlier, and experience joys and sorrows with them, so as not to be isolated from the environment.

    When Lin Qiushi returned to the room, he realized that he was crying. When Cheng Qianli left, he didn't cry, but he couldn't control himself at this time.

    Sitting on the edge of the bed, he suddenly understood why Cheng Yixie wanted to leave. Because in this villa, there are traces of Cheng Qianli's life everywhere, and these traces are like a dull knife, slashing human flesh with a slash, but no blood can be seen.

    Lin Qiushi lay on the bed and let out a long breath. He emptied himself and fell asleep in a daze.

    Ruan Nanzhu came back in the middle of the night and saw Lin Qiushi curled up on the bed. He did not wake him up, but gently put a thin blanket on Lin Qiushi.

    "Hmm." Lin Qiushi woke up and called out vaguely, "Nan Zhu."

    "Well." Ruan Nanzhu sat down beside Lin Qiushi, "I am here."

    "I've thought about it for thousands of miles." Lin Qiushi said.

    Ruan Nanzhu said: "I miss him too." He admitted this matter calmly, "Every time I see toast, I think of thousands of miles."

    Thinking of Qianli holding toast, thinking of that child's bright smile.

    "What should I do at such a time?" Lin Qiushi said, "I also think of Wu Qi, Tan Zaozao..." They were all passers-by in his life, coming and going.

    "You can only endure it." Ruan Nanzhu said, "Just endure it."

    Hearing Ruan Nanzhu's calm tone, Lin Qiushi suddenly felt distressed. After Cheng Qianli left, almost everyone was in a state of collapse. Only Ruan Nanzhu calmly handled the funeral. He notified the parents of the twins, contacted the funeral home, and chose the time of burial.

    Lin Qiushi didn't know how many things Ruan Nanzhu had experienced before he became so calm.

    Ruan Nanzhu understood Lin Qiushi's eyes, he sighed slightly, but smiled, and said, "Don't feel so bad for me, I'm really not as miserable as you think."

    Some things have to get used to.

    Three months after Cheng Yixie left Obsidian, he sent a letter without an address to Obsidian, in which he said that he was fine now and that they should not worry.

    Lu Yanxue was the first to receive the letter. Looking at the familiar font on the letter, she almost fainted from crying, holding the envelope and sobbing, she said, "This bad boy, why did you just send the letter back now, this bad boy? —"

    "Can you find out where he is?" Chen Fei asked Ruan Nanzhu next to him.

    Ruan Nanzhu took the envelope from Lu Yanxue after checking the letter, and finally shook his head: "There is no clue, he is very careful."

    Chen Fei sighed.

    "Will he come back?" Yi Manman actually had an average relationship with Cheng Yixie, but he had a good relationship with Cheng Qianli.

    "I don't know." Ruan Nanzhu did not give a definite answer.

    "Whether he comes back or not, as long as he feels comfortable." After Lu Yanxue said this, she burst into tears again, "But how can he survive alone, can he survive it?"

    No one knows the answer to this question, but if you can't get through it, you will have to get through it. That was the time that Cheng Qianli's life was exchanged for, and Cheng Yixie could not give up.

    Lin Qiushi stared at the lettering on the envelope and didn't speak for a long time.

    Until Ruan Nanzhu pulled him back to the room, he said, "Qiu Shi, you seem to be in a bad state recently."

    Lin Qiushi: "Huh?"

    "You've been in a daze." Ruan Nanzhu said, "Didn't you find it?" He frowned slightly and his eyes fell on Lin Qiushi's face.

    "I'm in a daze?" Lin Qiushi was inexplicable, "Is there any?"

    Ruan Nanzhu didn't speak, but his eyes gave Lin Qiushi the answer.

    "Oh." Lin Qiushi touched his face and said, "I just feel a little tired."

    Ruan Nanzhu said, "Let's go on vacation."

    "Huh?" Lin Qiushi didn't expect Ruan Nanzhu to suddenly say this. He was stunned for a while, and his mind wandered away again until Ruan Nanzhu gently pinched his cheek, "Daze again?"

    Lin Qiushi: "Cough cough." Only then did he realize that he was distracted again, still with Ruan Nanzhu staring at him, so he coughed twice and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry."

    Ruan Nanzhu sighed.

    Seeing that Lin Qiushi's state was not right, Ruan Nanzhu quickly started to prepare for the trip.

    Spring was supposed to be a season of revival of all things and full of happiness, but because of the thousands of miles away, their spring was even more difficult than winter.

    Lin Qiushi couldn't even remember the scene where the trees sprout, but when he reacted, it was already midsummer.

    The streets were lined with dense and tall trees, and it seemed as if some strange force had siphoned them out of their lives these past few months.

    But life still has to go on, but there are no people in the villa who want to enter the door during this time, so everyone's life is very peaceful. Ruan Nanzhu was also in a different state of not entering the door as usual, and was going to take Lin Qiushi out to play for a while.

    "Where do you want to go?" Ruan Nanzhu asked Lin Qiushi with a map.

    "Anywhere, I haven't been abroad before." Lin Qiushi said, "Have you been?"

    "I went there before, but I don't go there often now." Ruan Nanzhu replied.

    Lin Qiushi: "Before?" He suddenly remembered that Ruan Nanzhu rarely mentioned his family background, and hardly heard him mention his family.

    "Well." Ruan Nanzhu said, "My family is good, but they all think I'm crazy." He whispered slowly, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him, "I didn't contact them anymore. "

    Lin Qiushi said: "Oh." He felt that Ruan Nanzhu seemed to have little interest in talking about family, so he stopped asking.

    "If you want to know, I can also take you back." Ruan Nanzhu said.

    Lin Qiushi said: "I don't really want to." He smiled, "I just need to get to know you."

    Ruan Nanzhu looked at Lin Qiushi: "Really?"

    Lin Qiushi spread his hands: "otherwise?"

    In the end they settled on an archipelago near the equator and decided to go there for vacation.

    When he knew that they were going out to play, Chen Fei was still very surprised, saying that Brother Ruan, you haven't rested for several years, why did you suddenly think of going out to play this year.

    Ruan Nanzhu said: "Is it strange to go out on vacation when you are tired?"

    Chen Fei smiled dryly: "It's not surprising, it's not surprising, you guys have a good time and call back if you have anything."

    Ruan Nanzhu snorted, and when he turned to look at Lin Qiushi, he found that he was sitting on the sofa again in a daze. Ruan Nanzhu showed a little helplessness, walked to Lin Qiushi, lowered his head and took a sip on his cheek.

    "Ah!" After being bitten on the face by Ruan Nanzhu, Lin Qiushi woke up, covering his face inexplicably, "Why are you biting me?"

    Ruan Nanzhu: "I'm afraid that if I don't bite you back, your soul will fly."

    Lin Qiushi was helpless: "How can it be so serious." Ruan Nanzhu took a solid bite. Not only was his face aching, but he also had a neat tooth mark.

    "Don't be in a daze if you're afraid of being bitten." Ruan Nanzhu said very seriously.

    Lin Qiushi's face was embarrassed, and he didn't know why he liked being in a daze so much recently... Besides, can you really control things like being distracted?

    The author has something to say: that... nutrient solution... _(:з"∠)_ Don't put a knife in it, okay... In addition, there may be some things to update tomorrow, so let's talk about it in advance.
