The sun outside the hospital is equally bright. A wide road stretches out, with evergreen trees and well-trimmed bushes on both sides, and some flowers of various colors dotted in the thick greenery. It is so beautiful that people forget that this is Hospital.
"Brother Qingxing, hurry up!" Zheng Duoduo walked in the front of the group, picked a small flower from the side, and waved to Su Qingxing and the others with a smile.
"This little girl has a really big heart." Niu Yong said with emotion, "I also have two babies, if they just get lost like this, they will definitely not be able to stop crying, unlike this girl, it only took a while started laughing."
Zheng Duoduo's performance at the moment is indeed a bit unusual.
"What's going on here?" Su Qingxing looked at Zheng Duoduo's expression in surprise, and even Shen Si beside Su Qingxing frowned.
The reason why Su Qingxing made up his mind to protect Dodo was because when he first saw the child, he felt her patience and the desire to find his parents.
At that time, although Dodo was shedding tears, she pursed her lips and did not cry. The little girl did not cry until she saw Su Qingxing. It was this kind of patience that was different from ordinary children that made Su Qingxing notice this little girl.
But even so...
Is Dodo's recovery speed a little too fast? I was still crying just now, but now I am running and dancing on the road, smiling very brightly, as if going to the park with my parents to play.
No matter how you look at it, it's a bit strange.
"Be careful, something is wrong." Shen Si said softly beside Su Qingxing. Although the voice was not loud, he believed that Su Qingxing must have heard it.
And Su Qingxing nodded slightly.
"Duoduo." The barefoot Su Qingxing was not very fast, so he could only try to keep up with the little girl in front of him, and bent down to say to Doduo, "Aren't you afraid to walk in front alone?"
"Don't be afraid, Brother Qingxing!" Duo Duo blinked her big eyes, flicked the tail of the pony on the left, and handed the pink flower in her hand to Su Qingxing, "Brother Qingxing is so powerful, he will definitely help Duo Duo find his father Mom's, right?"
"Well, I will definitely help Dodo find her parents." Su Qingxing promised again, "But before that, Dodo must be careful to follow behind her brother and not run around, okay?"
"En!" Duoduo flicked her pony tail, obediently ran behind Su Qingxing, and did not continue to run forward.
Although she was already following Su Qingxing, Dodo looked around very curiously, and seemed to really like the scenery around the hospital.
"I have to sigh again, this place is more beautiful than all the hospitals I've been to." Bai Chu smiled all the way, making one wonder if he could see the way forward clearly.
"Brother, what you said... seems like you have walked through many hospitals." Niu Yong's smile looked a bit simple and honest, "Are you a doctor?"
"If you have been ill for a long time and become a doctor, if you stay in the hospital for a long time, you can become a half doctor." Bai Chu still smiled, "I have been in poor health since I was a child, and later I got a serious illness, so I spend almost half of the time in the hospital. Spent in the hospital."
Hearing what Bai Chu said, Su Qingxing suddenly remembered the cause of his death. This seemingly calm young man was indeed seriously ill, and in the end he even chose to understand his own life in a deviant way.
"So that's the case." Niu Yong seemed a little embarrassed, "But you seem to be in good spirits now, so you should be fine already."
Bai Chuyi didn't speak for a while, just looked at Niu Yong and smiled for a while, and then said: "In such a beautiful environment, the whole person feels relaxed, as if all the pains have disappeared."
A group of people continued to walk towards the gate of the hospital, but Su Qingxing stopped suddenly.
Su Qingxing's race is very special, physical injury is irrelevant to him, he just feels pain, which also leads to the fact that Su Qingxing's physique and body itself are not strong.
So when he felt that he stepped on a broken stone under his bare feet, he moved to the side and rubbed against another broken stone. After a kind of pain hit, Su Qingxing stopped and looked, and he found that the soles of his feet were bleeding.
In the next second, Su Qingxing felt himself soaring into the air.
"You..." When Su Qingxing came to his senses, he realized that he was hugged by Shen Si's whole body, and Shen Si's arms held his body tightly, making Su Qingxing, who was hundreds of years old, blush, "You do what?"
"Your foot is hurt." If the pensive face was placed on the big screen, it might become the most popular male template of the year, but at this moment, he looked at Su Qingxing very seriously, and the strength of his hands was still gradually tightening. "Do you still want to continue to get hurt?"
The pensive eyes were very focused. When he saw those eyes, all the rejections that Su Qingxing wanted to blurt out were swallowed back into his stomach in the next second.
"It's okay, the soles of your feet are not that fragile, it's better to go out first." In Su Qingxing's long memory, there are only two experiences of being hugged so tightly.
The first time, he was still sealed in the stone tower. A man in a black cloak cut off the stone locks on his limbs, hugged him like this, and left the stone tower that had locked him for hundreds of years.
The wind and sand were very strong that day, and the man just carried him across the army horses lined up on the wasteland, as if some kind of pious and sacred ceremony was being carried out, everyone was shouting something, but Su Qingxing's memory was not very clear anymore .
Although Su Qingxing passed out quickly due to various reasons that time, it was still an unforgettable memory for him.
The second time is now, and the other party is Shen Si, a tester who has just met for a long time. However, because the sole of Su Qingxing's foot has been injured now, and the road ahead looks like there are still many small stones, Su Qingxing feels that it is a good intention to meditate.
It was not easy to refuse for a while.
"I saw a lounge on the first floor of the hospital just now, and there might be spare shoes in it." Bai Chu suddenly interjected from the side at this moment, "This way, there is no need to bother Mr. Shen to hold Qing Xing like this."
After hearing what Bai Chu said, Shen Si stared at him silently for a while without speaking.
When he heard Bai Chu call himself "Qing Xing", Su Qing Xing subconsciously felt weird, and couldn't help saying: "Mr. Bai, we may not know each other very well, just call me by my full name."
"Sorry." Bai Chu's smile froze, but he recovered in an instant, "I just think Su Qingxing looks like my younger brother, so..."
"Anyway, let's go out and have a look first, and look for shoes later." The only thing that didn't seem to be affected was meditation. He just still hugged Su Qingxing so tightly. Go straight to the hospital gate.
Su Qingxing was a little hesitant to speak, and now he really didn't know how to persuade Shensi.
"Don't worry, I'm strong." Shen Si didn't meet Su Qingxing's eyes, but just looked straight ahead and said, "You are so light, about as heavy as a feather, even if you hug it a little longer, you'll be fine."
"In any case, it's such a big man, no matter how light he is, he can't be as close as a feather." Su Qingxing felt that Shen Si was very strange, but he couldn't say it was so strange.
"How do you want to walk? Even if you are no longer injured, you will walk very slowly, unable to keep up with the large army." What Shen Si said sounded very reasonable.
In addition, the road under his feet was indeed not as smooth as in the corridor of the hospital, and everyone was rushing, so it was not good to be slowed down, so he simply abandoned himself and nestled in Shen Si's arms.
Mr. Shen was forced to hug a "hard" man and didn't speak. As a person being helped, Su Qingxing naturally couldn't say anything.
Well, it won't be too long anyway.
"Sorry everyone, we may not be able to talk and joke like this anymore." Niu Yong's voice came suddenly.
Because of the episode just now, Su Qingxing and the others fell behind, while Niu Yong, who was walking in front, suddenly spoke in a tone that made people feel a little uncomfortable.
"What's wrong?" Bai Chu glanced at Su Qingxing and Shen Si before walking to Niu Yong's side, "What did you find?"
"Something's wrong outside the hospital!" Niu Yong was so frightened that his dialect almost came out, as if he didn't know how to express what he saw.
something wrong
Surrounded by birds and flowers, the trees are shady.
But Niu Yong said something was wrong outside
What's wrong with this place other than there's no one there
Su Qingxing couldn't help looking not far ahead, and he didn't know if it was because the hospital was located in the suburbs, Su Qingxing always felt that he couldn't see anything outside the hospital at all.
And Shen Si hugged Su Qingxing, and after making sure that the little girl Zheng Duoduo had been obediently following behind her, she hurried up and stood with Niu Yong and the others near the closed iron gate of the hospital, looking out of the hospital.
Fog!
A fog!
Nothing but fog!
When Su Qingxing saw the situation outside the hospital clearly, he couldn't help but gasped, his eyes were covered with mist.
Through the iron gate of the hospital, they could only see a road outside at most, but the other side of the road was "submerged" in the fog, and there was nothing, and they couldn't see anything clearly.
"How could this happen?" Niu Yong couldn't help talking to himself, "It's strange enough that there is no one in this hospital, and now there is such a heavy smog outside the hospital? You can't even see the shadow of the building!"
"It shouldn't be smog." Bai Chu said with a smile, "It looks like ordinary fog, but it's really too thick to see anything."
"My brother once told me." Zheng Duoduo grabbed the railing of the iron gate of the hospital and looked out, "Don't walk in the fog, there may be a very fierce monster hidden inside."
Dodo has a brother
"I can't open the iron door." Niu Yong checked the electronic lock on the door, "This kind of lock not only needs a key, but also needs a fingerprint and a controller. one day one Night."
When Niu Yong said that, everyone looked at him the same way.
"Brother Niu seems to understand this very well." Bai Chu smiled pointedly, "It's really impressive."
"No, it's nothing. Sometimes our driver's circle is very complicated. When we are bored, we can listen to and learn from everything. It's normal, very normal." Niu Yong touched his nose, looking a little embarrassed.
"Do you still want to go out?" Holding Su Qingxing's thoughts in his arms, he shook the iron door and checked the strength of the hospital gate. "If you want to go out, the only way to go out is probably to climb out from above."
"Difficult." Niu Yong pointed upwards, "There are power grids and thorns on the walls and iron gates. If the power grid is not connected, we have children here, and there is probably no way to go out without incident. If the power grid is connected Well, then we probably would have turned into kebabs before we climbed over it. If equipped with... ahem... "
Niu Yong only spoke half of what he said next, and interrupted himself by coughing a few times, then changed the subject and said: "In short, there should be no way to go out through the main entrance."
"Understood." Although Shen Si didn't look strong, he was about the same height as Niu Yong. When he straightened up with Su Qingxing in his arms and showed a serious expression, an inexplicable aura flashed in an instant, but he restrained himself in the next second. stand up.
"That's it." Shen Si lowered his eyebrows and pondered for a while, "I'll take Qingxing to find a pair of shoes first, please check around first to see if there are other exits from the hospital, or if there is any place around here that is not shrouded in fog .”
"Okay, then we'll meet up in front of the mirror in the hospital hall later." Niu Yong and Bai Chu quickly agreed to Shen Si's proposal, and let Zheng Duoduo still follow Su Qingxing and the others, and then separately ran to the left and right. Explore the situation of the entire hospital as quickly as possible.
"If this hospital is really surrounded by mist..." Su Qingxing was hugged by Shen Si, feeling the warm wind blowing under his feet, he felt a warm feeling, couldn't help shrinking his toes, squinting his eyes like a kitten, "Then this place becomes an isolated island?"
Su Qingxing's tone was obviously serious, but when he opened his eyes, he found that Shen Si was staring at him, that concentration almost made Su Qingxing's skin crawl.
"What's wrong?" Su Qingxing tilted his head.
"It's nothing." Shen Si turned her head to one side, but her ears were flushed, "I believe there must be a way out."
"Yes." The wind blew on the soles of Su Qingxing's feet, and he couldn't help shrinking his toes again because of the itchy feeling. "The most urgent thing is to find a pair of shoes first."
Su Qingxing didn't know why, he obviously hated Bai Chu calling himself "Qingxing", but he didn't hate Shen Si calling himself that.
Even... After being nestled in Shen Si's arms for so long, Su Qingxing never thought of resisting...
The other party is just an ordinary tester, why do I feel this way
Su Qingxing felt that not only did he not hate meditation, but he even felt that this ordinary practitioner was taking care of him, and that he didn't hate this feeling of being taken care of very much.
Su Qingxing is very strong.
Su Qingxing is so strong... even he himself doesn't know how strong he is, after all, he has never tried what is called a full-strength burst.
But it was precisely because Su Qingxing was so strong that he never felt that he needed protection, never felt that he needed help, and even encountered difficulties in trials, he would never call Zhu Sha for help.
When Su Qingxing is very strong, everyone will subconsciously rely on Su Qingxing.
But when Su Qingxing was very weak, few people helped Su Qingxing.
After a long time, Su Qingxing, who felt that he was very strong, didn't even know it. Maybe he was the type who longed to be taken care of.
Hardships since childhood.
More than a hundred years in the stone tower.
Walking through the ghost town of the underworld alone...
In fact, Su Qingxing really needs someone to take care of him, someone who can give him support, but Su Qingxing, who has been supporting him all the time, has not noticed this himself.
However, this need was revealed little by little in Su Qingxing's actions.
For example, Su Qingxing valued the friendship between himself and Zhu Sha, because although Zhu Sha couldn't even take care of himself, he always worried about this and that for Su Qingxing, just like an old mother who worried about her own children.
For example, those dead souls who helped Su Qingxing during the trial...
Whether it was Zhang Biao who died for Su Qingxing in the end, or Qin Guan who lent his shoulder to Su Qingxing in the bloody corridor, Su Qingxing made Su Qingxing accept this intention.
So when Shen Si's wholehearted care of Su Qingxing gradually emerged, Su Qingxing also felt this very sensitively, although this kind of action is very similar to the princess hug in Zhu Sha's mouth...
However, this may be Mr. Shen's only solution after thinking about the current situation
Su Qingxing felt that Mr. Shen needed to hug such a "big" man, he should be very reluctant, and it was very embarrassing, sometimes his arms were shaking!
How reluctant is it that your arms tremble when you hold him
Thinking of this, Su Qingxing remained silent, waiting for a solution.
In fact, Su Qingxing would not easily accept anyone's care. If Bai Chu wanted to take care of Su Qingxing, he might have already hidden away, and it is best not to see each other forever.
Shen Si hugged Su Qingxing, Zheng Duoduo followed behind with small steps, and the three of them returned to the hospital hall again.
Although the hall was still spacious and bright, when Su Qingxing and the others saw the mirror wall again, they felt that the temperature of the whole hall had dropped a lot even though the sun was shining through it.
Especially after seeing himself in the mirror, the whole hall felt even more chilly.
Although there is nothing abnormal about the three people in the mirror.
But just like what Bai Chuyi said at the beginning, no one knows what he is doing in the mirror when his eyes leave.
"The lounge that Bai Chu said should be over there." Although he had already entered the hospital, Shen Si didn't seem to want to put Su Qingxing down at all, "Let's go there first."
"Mr. Shen, you can put me down now." Although he was willing to accept Shen Si's care, Su Qingxing was a little embarrassed to continue to stay in Shen Si's arms when he thought that the other party was just a "stranger" whom he had met for the first time.
Moreover, just now Su Qingxing saw Duoduo staring at the mirror in a daze, and had no intention of following in, so Su Qingxing said to Shen Si with some embarrassment: "Excuse me, can I trouble Mr. Shen to see if there are any suitable shoes? I'm not worried about Dodo."
Shen Si is an ordinary experimenter, if he and Dodo are allowed to approach the mirror together, some uncontrollable things may happen, so Su Qingxing can only ask this Mr. Shen to go to the lounge and take care of it by himself. Duo Duo moved her feet.
"..." Shen Si just stood there with Su Qingxing in his arms for a while, and then slowly put Su Qingxing down from his arms, which seemed a little reluctant to part.
"Okay, take care of yourself, I'll be right back." Shen Si's words were relatively simple, but what he said could easily give people a sense of trust.
Su Qingxing nodded, watched the pensive figure disappear around the corner, and then turned back to the mirror.
The little girl Zheng Duoduo was standing in front of the mirror at the moment.
Su Qingxing originally thought that Duoduo was playing in front of the mirror, but when he walked over, he found that she hadn't done anything, just looked at herself in the mirror and smiled...
Yes, just laughing.
Su Qingxing could even hear "hee hee" laughter coming from Duo Duo.
Dodo outside the mirror is smiling.
Dodo in the mirror is also smiling.
The very normal scene made Su Qingxing's heart tense for no reason.
"Dodo, are you okay?"
"It's nothing!" Dodo turned her head with a smile, pointed to herself in the mirror and said, "Dodo just thinks she's so pitiful."
"Poor?" Su Qingxing looked at Dodo in the mirror with some puzzlement, "Why does Dodo think she is pitiful in the mirror?"
"Because she can't come out of the mirror!" Duo Duo blinked her eyes wide, "I'm outside and she is inside, isn't it pitiful?"
"It's just a mirror, Duoduo." Su Qingxing still explained to Zheng Duoduo gently, but the way he looked at the little girl became complicated, "Whether it's inside or outside the mirror, it's just you, Duoduo."
"It's different, Brother Qingxing." Dodo looked like a little adult, raised her finger and pointed to the ponytail on her left side, "Duodo's tail is on the left, and in the mirror, Dodo's tail is on the right. So it's different."
Su Qingxing wondered if he should explain the principle of mirroring.
It can only be said that it is a remarkable thing for a four-year-old child to be able to distinguish the left and right in the mirror.
"You are so pitiful, Dodo." After saying that, Dodo said to herself in the mirror, "Just stay inside and don't come out."
"Duoduo, could it be that you..." Su Qingxing's gaze sank.
However, before Su Qingxing could ask the question, he heard footsteps behind him, and when he turned around, he saw Shen Si coming around the corner with several things.
"I found this." Shen Si walked up to Su Qingxing, and handed a pair of... slippers to Su Qingxing, "There are labels on them, so no one should have worn them. I see that many of the other shoes are women's shoes. Most of them were worn by other people, so I think you may be more used to this new pair of slippers.”
"Thank you." Su Qingxing silently looked at the pair of slippers handed to him.
Although Su Qingxing really doesn't like to wear things worn by others, the pair of slippers Shen Si found turned out to be... royal blue fluffy indoor slippers, and there were two cute little fur balls on the fluffy uppers!
The most annoying thing is that this pair of fluffy slippers looks very good with the pajamas that Su Qingxing is wearing!
Could it be intentional to meditate
Even Su Qingxing couldn't help but glance at him now. However, the other party's expression was very serious, which even made Su Qingxing feel that Mr. Shen, who wished well, was really unreasonable.
"If it doesn't work, I'll look for it again." He stared at Su Qingxing with pensive eyes, "but put it on before that, the ground is very cold, and the soles of these slippers are non-slip, very good."
"Let's do this first." Su Qingxing tore off the label on the slippers, and directly stuffed his bare feet in, taking a few steps, "The size is just right, thank you, Mr. Shen."
In the mirror, Su Qingxing, who was wearing a blue little love pajamas, looked very slender. The sleeves were very long, with knuckles exposed at most, and the neckline was also very large. A little movement would reveal the fair skin at the collarbone.
And now Su Qingxing was still wearing a pair of fluffy blue slippers on his feet.
"This period of time has really caused trouble for Mr. Shen!" Su Qingxing thought that Shen Si had no choice but to walk around with his arms in his arms. This embarrassing situation really made him feel very embarrassed.
Mr. Shen has worked hard!
He will definitely find a way to repay the favor!
"Just fit." Shen Si covered her nose silently for some reason, and turned her face sideways, "By the way, I saw this in the lounge, maybe the children will like it."
Shen Si handed a white baby bear to Dodo, and after a little hesitation, Dodo stretched out her left hand to take the baby bear from Shen Si's hand, and held the baby bear in her arms with a look of love.
Su Qingxing saw Duo Duo playing with the little bear in front of the mirror, and knew that this child should like the little gift from Shen Si very much. When he was about to thank Shen Si instead of Duo Duo, he saw that Mr. Shen was still holding something in his hand.
"That is?" Su Qingxing observed for a while, and saw that there seemed to be a white dress in the transparent bag in Shen Si's hand.
"I also found it in the rest room." Shen Si took the clothes out of the bag, "You seem a little unaccustomed to walking around in pajamas, so when you saw it, you thought you might need it, and then took it over."
"It's very necessary!" Su Qingxing nodded immediately. Everyone who participated in the trial this time was dressed neatly, and he, the guide, was wearing pajamas, which was really out of character.
But…
When Shen Si unfolded the whole dress, Su Qingxing regretted what he said.
because…
It was a white nurse uniform.
Su Qingxing: "..."
"Sorry." Shen Si directly rolled up the nurse's uniform and put it away, covered her nose again and turned her head away.
"Ahem, it's okay, such small mistakes happen from time to time." Su Qingxing felt that Shen Si was a good intention, but encountered an embarrassing situation again. Although there was no way to change his pajamas, Su Qingxing would not be serious with Shen Si because of this. .
After standing in front of the mirror for a while, Bai Chu and Niu Yong ran in, one on the left and one on the right, both looking a little out of breath.
The expressions of both of them were a little heavy.
"It's terrible." Bai Chu and Niu Yong said almost in unison.
"what happened?"
Under Su Qingxing's questioning, Bai Chu and Niu Yong resigned, and then described everything they saw as clearly as possible.
After sorting out and summarizing what Bai Chu and Niu Yong said, Su Qingxing and the others came to a helpless conclusion.
This hospital is really an "island".
The entire hospital and the front and rear yards were in a rectangular shape, so the walls on all sides were also at right angles. Apart from the gate they had seen together before, there was not even a back door.
Both Bai Chu and Niu Yong managed to observe the situation outside the wall, but the situation in the four directions of southeast, north and south was exactly the same, except for the road outside the wall, everything else was shrouded in mist.
It's as if there is only one hospital left in this world, and other life and non-life have been swallowed by the thick fog.
"There is nothing in the hospital." Niu Yong's physical strength is slightly better than Bai Chu's. When Bai Chu couldn't help but leaned against the wall and gasped for breath, he had recovered a little. screaming, but I walked around half of the hospital, but I didn't even see bird droppings, and I always felt that the only ones alive here... maybe only us."
"So, even if we try to escape from the hospital, we still have to face the unknown fog?" After Su Qingxing came to this conclusion, he led everyone to the edge of the mirror, where they once read a passage written with blood. written text.
"Don't trust me with the left earring!"
"That's me in the mirror!"
"I'm a nice guy, but she's not!"
"It's the opposite in the mirror!"
"Don't run away anymore, you can't escape, there is no way out here, the only way out is in the mirror!"
"But if you decide to go into the mirror world, be prepared to die!"
"good luck."
The text written in blood was still there, and the handwriting was still so scribbled, no different from when they first saw it. But when Su Qingxing read these sentences again, he seemed to have some new feelings.
"If what this text says is true, then it's useless for us to leave the hospital." Bai Chu and others read the text carefully again, "After all, this sentence tells us that the real exit is in the mirror. inside."
"But this is a mirror." Niu Yong couldn't turn the corner, "How can we get into the mirror? Could it be that we have to smash the mirror?"
"But, what if the exit is not behind the mirror, but inside the mirror? If smashing the mirror now, wouldn't it mean destroying our last way out?" Bai Chu panted heavily while trying to stop the straight-minded Niu Yong.
"Then maybe the way to enter this mirror is not so rough." Su Qingxing said, reaching out to the mirror again.
But just when Su Qingxing's fingers were about to touch the mirror, Dodo's voice suddenly sounded in the hall—
"Don't! Don't! Dodo don't go into the mirror! Dodo doesn't want to go into the mirror like that poor guy!" After Dodo said loudly, she rushed out of the hall and ran outside.
"Duoduo came out with great difficulty, so it's impossible to go back! Doduo don't go back!" Duoduo, who had already walked to the gate, seemed to have a tear in her voice.
But after hearing what Duoduo said, Su Qingxing's expression immediately became serious. Before, Su Qingxing had sensed that something was wrong with Zheng Duoduo's body, and now he was completely sure—
Dodo, who has been following them all the time, came out of the mirror!
Although he doesn't know what happened to the real Zheng Duoduo, nor when the two children completed the exchange, Su Qingxing is absolutely sure that Duoduo who ran out just now came from the mirror.
And for some reason, this Duoduo is unwilling to go back to the mirror again!
"Wait a moment." Su Qingxing had to stop what he was doing, and ran out on the fluffy slippers, "We will continue after I bring that child back!"
"Be careful, Qingxing, be careful." Bai Chuzhi stood up and warned.
"It's Su Qingxing." Shen Si glanced at Bai Chu beside him.
Su Qingxing's figure quickly disappeared from the hall, leaving only the three of them standing in the sunlit hall in meditation, looking at each other from time to time.
"It seems that something extraordinary has happened." Niu Yong's expressive ability is not very good, but after being in such an unrealistic environment for so long, his ability to accept has also improved a little.
"Your name is Shen Si?" Bai Chu suddenly smiled and looked at Shen Si, "Mr. Shen, you seem to be very hostile to me, are you afraid that I will take Qingxing away?"
"He doesn't like your address." Since Su Qingxing was not around, Shen Si didn't bother to say an extra word to Bai Chu.
"So Mr. Shen is really afraid that I will snatch Brother Su away?" Bai Chu was still smiling, "Obviously the two are just strangers who just met, aren't they?"
Shen Si looked at the smiling Bai Chu, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Has anyone ever told you that you deserve a beating when you smile?"
"..."
