Lu Shizhen has experienced many kinds of death.
Growing up in a place like a hospital, how could I not have seen death
But when Qiuqiu's head drooped completely powerlessly in Lu Shizhen's hand, her whole body still shook violently.
The overwhelming grief was like a huge mountain, smashing heavily on her head. Qiuqiu said her farewell words intermittently, and then there was no response.
The space was extremely quiet. Lu Shizhen sat motionless on the ground, holding Qiuqiu in his arms.
She never thought that Qiuqiu would leave her one day.
Over the years, Qiuqiu has been traveling with her all over the world.
The shadow of the kitten wagging its tail overlapped with hers, and the double portion of delicious food dangled from her wrist.
Lu Shizhen always felt that she was different from Qiuqiu’s previous hosts, and she would be with Qiuqiu for a very long time.
It was also impossible to imagine how she would separate from Qiuqiu.
How could we possibly separate
She has so many points that she can live for a very long time.
Otherwise, after thousands or hundreds of years, when the points she has used to extend her life are used up, she will just have to go back to the system and work for the Lord God.
She will not separate from Qiuqiu.
Will not…
But when the end did not come, everyone thought that the future would continue like this.
Qiuqiu had no host in her past, and she became one of the “many hosts” who left with Qiuqiu.
One night, she suddenly thought that she and Qiuqiu would be separated by death one day, but she didn't expect that the one who died was the immortal one.
This completely unexpected thing caught Lu Shizhen off guard, and tears kept falling from her dazed eyes.
The silent crying depressed the atmosphere of the entire space to the extreme. Xu Shiyue stood silently aside, feeling very uncomfortable.
From the moment she saw the little ball floating next to Lu Shizhen, she knew that this little guy had been with Lu Shizhen for a very long time, longer than her.
When they met again, the ball had turned into a Siamese cat with a messy face.
He holds his tail up, looks stupid and not very smart, and can't even pretend to be smart.
But it, like himself, is an irreplaceable existence beside Lu Shizhen.
There is not only love in the world, and the intersection of emotions is not limited to people.
Xu Shiyue opened her lips slightly, and even her light breath sank.
She just looked at the motionless figure and thought of words to persuade Lu Shizhen in her heart.
But in the face of death, language really seems too pale.
Every word of comfort seems to be a repeated whip on the heart, reminding the other person of the fact that an important life has passed away.
Xu Shiyue half-lowered his eyes, his pupils were gloomy, his lips were slightly parted, opened and closed.
At this moment, footsteps were heard in the distance. Shen Yanxing, after receiving the message from Xu Shiyue, hurried over: "Shiyue, suddenly..."
But before she finished her words, she stopped instantly and rushed to Lu Shien who had fainted on the ground: "Xiaoen, Xiaoen, what happened?"
Xu Shiyue calmed down immediately without leaving any trace, and calmly said to the somewhat panicked Shen Yanxing: "Just now, that thing used her body as a medium to come here."
"What? How could it happen suddenly?" Shen Yanxing seemed to know more than Lu Shien. He was surprised but did not show any doubt about Xu Shiyue's obscure expression.
"I'll tell you the details later." Xu Shiyue calmed Shen Yanxing down and said, "The most urgent thing now is to take Lu Shien to the hospital for a comprehensive checkup to rule out any problems."
"Yes, you are right." Shen Yanxing nodded and half-knelt beside Lu Shien without any hesitation.
Xu Shiyue looked at it and then made another plan: "So from now on, this place will be completely blocked off, and the status quo inside will be maintained, and the power supply will be maintained. No one can come in without my permission."
"I understand. Don't worry, I will arrange everything."
Maybe it was because he felt Lu Shien’s steady breathing and heartbeat, but Shen Yanxing’s voice became a little calmer than when he first arrived.
She answered Xu Shiyue, and then she picked up Lu Shien neatly and said, "I'll go first, and I'll contact you later."
After saying that, Shen Yanxing hugged Lu Shien and left.
The little girl's hanging skirt left a swaying shadow on the wall, and the sound of footsteps came from far away and then went away.
Shen Yanxing didn't even stay in this place for half a minute. He came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
The place where the wind couldn't get in returned to silence.
Xu Shiyue turned her head and looked. It was as if what had just happened had not happened in Lu Shizhen's world. She was still sitting there, motionless and silent.
It's so small that it looks like it will break if touched.
Xu Shiyue let out a deep breath, squatted beside Lu Shizhen, and said to her gently: "Shizhen, didn't Qiuqiu say it was cold? Let's take it to a warmer place."
The sunlight shone on Lu Shizhen's half-closed eyelashes, shaking off the golden color dully.
Xu Shiyue's words made Lu Shizhen react. She raised her head and looked at Xu Shiyue, then looked at the kitten curled up in her arms.
The image of the cat exchanged in the system mall did not disappear. Its fur was shiny and glossy under the sunlight, and it was vivid and lively without any trace of death.
Yes, it just told itself that it was cold.
This place is indeed not warm enough, and its limbs are somewhat stiff from the cold.
She had to take Qiuqiu to a warmer place.
But where is the warmest place
Lu Shizhen's thoughts were searching vaguely, and a pair of hands stroked the back of her hands.
A shadow blocked the dazzling sunlight, and a layer of gentle warmth fell on her.
Xu Shiyue asked softly: "Would you like to come home with me?"
It is a sense of belonging that is called, and there is enough warmth in that place.
There is also the little bed that Aunt Sun just made yesterday, which Qiuqiu likes very much.
Lu Shizhen nodded suddenly, and with the help of Xu Shiyue's hand, he barely stood up: "Then let's go home together."
.
The yard is covered with green grass in spring. The azure blue sky and the tender green grass blend together like a quiet painting.
But the wind didn't quite cooperate with the silence, and the orange-red frisbee crossed the blue-green and flew away, and was then caught by a dog that suddenly flew out.
It was not yet time for lunch, and Lu Shizhen and Xu Shiyue were not at home. Yuanzi pestered the servants at home to play frisbee.
I don’t know if this dog was only enthusiastic for a short time or what, but when the servant threw the frisbee for it for the third time, it stopped halfway through the chase.
The roses climbing all over the courtyard wall completely blocked the view outside the courtyard. When the wind blew past, one could vaguely see something black passing by.
Xu Shiyue and Lu Shizhen are back.
Yuanzi stood on the grass for a long time until he saw the car that had carried its two owners away this morning driving in, then he ran over like a rocket.
The thick tail was wagging wildly, as always warmly welcoming the returning owners.
But this time, the hand on Yuanzi's head was only Xu Shiyue's, not Lu Shizhen's.
Yuanzi looked at Lu Shizhen who got off the car with some confusion, but found that she didn't seem as lively and enthusiastic as before, as if she had noticed something, but didn't seem to understand it very well. She just wagged her tail and rubbed her hand actively, as if she was completing her daily homecoming ritual by herself, or as if she was comforting Lu Shizhen.
It doesn't want its owner to be so unhappy.
This made it feel not so happy.
The group walked into the villa from the yard without stopping. Qiuqiu had already been taken from Lu Shizhen's arms by Xu Shiyue.
Yuanzi looked up at the kitten lying in its owner's arms, her eyes full of envy. She also wanted to find this smart old friend to play with, so she followed Xu Shiyue to her and Qiuqiu's room.
But its owner didn't seem to want to let them play, and its old friend didn't pay much attention to it and kept sleeping.
The mat that Aunt Sun had just made yesterday was shrouded in the best sunshine, and a newly made quilt was covering it.
"Woo woo..." Yuanzi looked at Xu Shiyue who had gone through everything last night, and sobbed to remind her that it had been ignored.
Upon hearing the voice, Xu Shiyue immediately stopped and was about to leave.
She just looked at the dog who knew nothing below her sight, and squatted down towards it as if she had thought of something: "Qiuqiu just fell asleep, you have to eat well, understand?"
The bony hands laid their fingers on the platinum-colored velvet, and every touch was filled with endless tenderness.
Yuanzi lay on the ground, looking at Xu Shiyue with her eyes like black grapes. As if she could understand what she said, she whimpered at her twice.
"Good boy." Xu Shiyue rubbed Yuanzi's head again.
This time she used a little more force, just like when Lu Shizhen usually rubbed it.
As they were talking, it was time for Yuanzi and Qiuqiu's lunch.
Just as Xu Shiyue was about to leave, she took away Qiuqiu's lunch from the servant's hand and only asked her to put down the lunch for Yuanzi.
The door was closed again as Xu Shiyue left. Yuanzi looked at the only lunch in the room that belonged to him, pushed it to the side of Qiuqiu with his nose, and ate the largest piece of chicken breast in one bite.
It seems to be for showing off, but it doesn't seem to be the case.
Yuanzi chewed and chewed exaggeratedly, but his thick-skinned face never received the meow punch from Qiuqiu.
The shadow projected on the ground was still that lonely one, and the cat lying on the bed never opened its eyes to look at it.
Yuanzi spit out the chicken breast that was hidden in his mouth in one piece, and spit it next to Qiuqiu without reservation, as if he was worried that Qiuqiu would not eat it. Yuanzi nudged hard with the tip of his nose, and his tongue stuck wetly to Qiuqiu's neck, wetting the entire circle of his fur.
But Qiuqiu didn't react at all.
Neither move nor open eyes.
Even the smartest dog seemed unable to comprehend death and just thought that its old friend had fallen asleep.
After all, that’s what its owner just said, right
Its owner is so good that he would never lie to it.
The huge shadow reflected on the ground slowly lowered, and Yuanzi carefully placed her head on Qiuqiu's small bed.
The black eyes just stared at the kitten lying in the quilt motionlessly, and the slightly drooped brows were full of confusion.
But when will it wake up
It has been five minutes since it was ignored.
.
Xu Shiyue hadn't felt the world so quiet for a long time. The bright sunlight fell into her sight, and everything around her was as quiet as an exquisite painting.
She walked out of the pet room and looked towards the living room, but did not see Lu Shizhen.
She suddenly became a little nervous, looked at Aunt Sun who was carrying the fruit, and asked, "Aunt Sun, have you seen Sixteen?"
Aunt Sun said calmly, "Miss Sixteen? I just saw her answering a phone call at the door. It seemed to be about work, so she stopped immediately and hasn't come in yet."
"I understand." Xu Shiyue nodded, paused and walked towards the door.
A gentle spring breeze rolled through the porch as the door opened, and layers of green covered the distant landscape.
A thin figure sat on the steps of the small porch, a large white foam box next to him.
Xu Shiyue paused, then sat down next to Lu Shizhen and asked softly: "What is this?"
"Starch sausage." Lu Shizhen replied calmly, "I promised Qiuqiu before that when it comes back from the main system, I will make 99 starch sausage flowers for it."
The light breath disappeared in the air with the wind. Lu Shizhen raised his hand and touched the box beside him. He stared at it for a long time without blinking, and then said in a hoarse voice: "It's too late. It can't eat it."
