Qin Qiu stepped aside slightly, his eyes cast down from his eyes, and fell on Youyou's lips.
They snorted heavily and crossed each other.
The warning has never sounded for so long, like it's broken.
But no one cared about it.
"Big examiner, you're breathing a little too quickly." Qin Qiu said in a low voice.
It is said that light-colored eyes are born with thin emotions.
But when these beautiful eyes reflected the lingering smoke, half-opened and half-closed in the rapid breathing, they were even more humid and misty than the fog.
Wandering started to calm down, but with little success.
After a while, he turned his face back to answer Qin Qiu: "… a normal response to hypoxia."
"Normal reaction..." Qin Qiu repeated the word, and smiled in heavy breathing: "Kissing with another man in broad daylight is also a normal reaction of our examiner?"
"… "
Youhuo's lips moved, and after a while, he said, "The things in the old castle have been revealed before."
"What happened in the castle? There's a lot going on in the castle."
Qin Qiu said: "You mean that you promised not to take risks with your front foot, and your back foot secretly traded with the witch doctor while I was under siege? Or... before I could react, you forcibly grabbed my hand and stabbed you yourself? Or...the thing about stabbing and lying still in my arms with a hug, stopping breathing for a century before opening my eyes again?"
Confused: "… "
"Three pieces, pick one and reveal it." Qin Qiu said.
Wandering: "What about you, you want to poke yourself one by one, think I can't guess?"
Qin Qiu looked down at him and suddenly said, "My heartbeat has hit a new high now, and I can't tell if it's anger or something else."
The knuckles of his index fingers were pressed against Wandering's jawbone, and his thumb was on his lower lip.
Youhuo's heartbeat is also fast.
He glanced at Qin Qiu's fingers, his voice hoarse: "... There is a mentality called the suspension bridge effect."
"Suspension bridge effect?" Qin Jiu snorted, he flicked his thumb, and then tilted his head to kiss when his lips were slightly opened, "Does the suspension bridge effect include being kissed until the neck turns red?"
The moment Qin Qiu lowered his head, perhaps because of the strong aura, a scene from a long time ago flooded into You Huo's mind.
vague and familiar...
It seems to be a copy of a dream.
***
It was the same midsummer day as this exam.
Perhaps this season is fiery with hot flashes and it's easy to splatter with urges and emotions.
At that time, the confusion was still the examiner A, and Qin Qiu had reached the end of the examination period.
It was his 11th violation, and it took him a day to clean up the exam room, and he was locked up in Examiner A's solitary cell for two days.
This is the evening of the second day.
Qin Jiu held a glass of water and sat on the edge of the table, his short hair was wet, his clean shirt had the buttons open at the neckline, and the muscles on his shoulders, back and chest were strong and powerful.
He took a sip of water, tilted his head and said to You Huo, "Thank you, dear examiner, for your reasoning and adding a bathroom to the toilet in the confinement room. Otherwise, after these few confinement sessions, you may have to cut off contact with me."
You Huo stood aside, waiting for him to finish drinking the water and take the cup away.
"The system didn't suspect anything?" Qin Chen asked.
"These facilities used to have confinement rooms a long time ago, but they were omitted later, and now they are just changed back." You Huo said, "It can guarantee that there will be no candidates in the same situation as you in the future? Those candidates need to use it here. "
He spoke as calmly as usual, Qin Qiu admired it for a while, and said, "It must have been deceived by your expression."
"...Are you thirsty or not, take two sips in five minutes?" You Huo said.
"It's another topic." Qin Jiu honestly took a third sip and said, "Whenever it's not so serious, you'll change the topic. Are you in a hurry to leave?"
Youhuo said: "Hot."
The confinement room was actually not stuffy, the ventilation was good, and the moisture from the bath quickly dissipated.
But there is still enthusiasm left.
Qin Qiu said, "Twenty minutes ago, it was obviously hotter here, and you didn't rush to leave."
Confused: "… "
With a naturally cold handsome face, he took the cup from Qin Jiu's hand and said, "Just remember what I said before, I'm leaving."
"What's up?"
"… "
Just forget about it.
Examiner A wants to hit someone.
Qin Qiu jumped off the table, and then said, "You mean to let me leave as soon as possible after the test, the farther away the better, don't be an invigilator?"
Confused: "… "
He clearly hoped that Qin Jiu would pass the exam successfully, leave the system, and stop jumping into this fire pit.
But... it's not wrong to explain it that way.
"I came with a purpose, you forgot? Even if the system tells me to get out, I have to try my best to come back." Qin Qiu said.
"Your purpose is the same as mine. I know this better than you, I am more familiar with the system than you, it is easier for the system to relax its vigilance, and it is easier to achieve that purpose." Youhu frowned and said, "I don't know what you have. The reason has to be tied here."
Worried about trouble, he felt a rare impatience.
"Reason?" Qin Qiu said, "There is one in front of me, and he speaks harshly to me without looking back."
You Huo stopped in front of the door.
"I'm suddenly a little curious, what kind of relationship do we have now in your eyes?" Qin Qiu said.
You Huo stood for a while, then said after a while, "The relationship between the invigilator and the candidates."
After he finished speaking, the silence in the room lasted for a long time, and the always arrogant and wanton person behind him suddenly became quiet.
Youhuo looked calm, but the knuckles of his fingers holding the cup turned white.
After a long time, when he was about to open the door, there were light footsteps behind him.
Then, Qin Qiu's breath fell.
He lowered his head and said in You Huo's ear: "Other invigilators and candidates don't go to bed, big examiner."
Youyou's eyelashes trembled.
It was almost a gesture of being hugged from behind, but it also had a unique confrontation between them.
"I'm used to your tough mouth. The more worried you are, the more you want to stab someone. I've never seen you stab someone like this. I'll come back if I say anything about this." Qin Qiu said.
"Even if the system throws me out, clears my memory and leaves nothing, I will come back."
…
***
The fire of the ancient castle has been burning for a long time, and it is not about to be extinguished at all. It seems that there are too many things that should be burned clean.
The souls of the duke and the witch doctor have long since dissipated, and the corpses left behind have returned to human beings one after another due to the retrospect of witchcraft.
They experienced a nirvana rebirth, screamed and fled from the fire and saw the sun again.
All life and death returned to the starting point in the fire.
In a corner of the castle, a mahogany box suddenly vibrated a few times, and someone screamed in panic and wanted to leave.
Ever since the Duke's resurrection, the mahogany chest has been placed under his bed.
Every few days he would call out "My Eliza" and would look for girls similar to her and cut off their heads and limbs in order to bring Eliza back.
But for a long time, he never opened that wooden box.
He hid it under the bed and never opened it from the day it was put in until now...
That witchcraft, requiring the resurrected person and the victim to be surrounded by candles.
The Duke has done it countless times for himself, and the details couldn't be clearer.
But every time... every time he went to those young girls, he didn't bring Alisha with him.
Not for fear of stumps.
He had seen so many stumps, and he could not count the number of cuts he had personally cut. He just didn't want to see the face in the box, and he didn't want to see the woman in the box.
Because that woman is not Alyssa at all.
The real Eliza was borrowed by the witch doctor on the day the Duke was resurrected.
The witch doctor said that his last body was too old to last long. He is linked to the Duke, and he is weak, and the Duke will be weak. If he dies, so will the Duke.
He needed a body suitable for sojourn to ensure that the Duke lived a long and healthy life.
In fact, there are many shells to choose from, but the butler chose the one that is closest to the Duke.
He knew that the duchess loved her husband miserably. If the witch doctor lived in the lady's body, he might be influenced by the original owner and be loyal to the duke forever.
So that night, the butler only resurrected the duke, the witch doctor occupied the lady's body, and in return, he recalled the undead of the servants.
But instead of staying in the castle, she went to the church in the town, disguised as a nun. Because there are more living people in the town, enough for her to use.
Afraid that the Duke would be sad when he woke up, the butler chopped up the woman in the couple who had tricked him into a mess, and put a mask on her again.
He said to the duke: "The resurrection failed, something went wrong."
The Duke stood beside the pool of blood, staring at the half face under the mask without turning his eyes, and after a long time said to the butler, "Put it in the box."
Open one eye and close one eye.
He could ask the witch doctor for a body, but he didn't.
He just tacitly hid "Alyssa" under the bed, and asked everyone in the castle to accompany her to put on a mask to show everyone how much he missed each other.
It's just... it will never be possible to resurrect her.
The mahogany box was finally knocked open, and a young woman with disheveled hair jumped out, met her equally miserable husband at a corner, and left here together.
In the corridor wrapped in scarlet flames, oil paintings were scattered all over the place, the paint was baked to dry and cracked, turned to charred black, and the picture frame burned like carbon.
The corners of the Duchess's mouth tightened in the heat, from upturned with a smile to straight, then down slightly, like disgust, like sadness.
Her body lay down in the once magnificent bedroom, while the Duke's original body was buried under some scorched earth.
Outside the castle, Jiang Yuan ran into the crowd with a scrambling and crawling, Zhou Qi hugged him, laughed and danced, and finally burst into tears.
Further afield, the proctoring office was notified.
The system sounded the longest alarm in history, but only gave the three invigilators a white note.
Because it can't find any basis for punishment, nor can it find any rules to explain... Why two people with no memory, separated by a few years, with opposite identities, can still get together.
So love and hate is a strange thing.
Some rot into the soil early.
Some are etched.
