Because he lost his vision, Xu Shiyue's perception in other aspects is always more acute than other normal people.
She could faintly sense that something was stuck in her throat, preventing her from uttering any syllables, and then a thought that did not belong to her at the moment flashed into her mind.
If the feeling of having the body's meridians blocked last time was only fleeting, this time Xu Shiyue felt it particularly obviously.
She didn't understand where this strange feeling came from when she faced Shen Yanxing, but she was sure that it was different from the blocked jealousy she had felt towards the people around Lu Shizhen before.
She was not jealous of Shen Yanxing, and she didn't even have any interest in her.
If she was abandoned and left alone in this place, she might have agreed to Shen Yanxing.
But she is not alone now.
The real weight, with a slight smell of alcohol, fell on her legs, and the even breath penetrated the fabric, still delivering warmth to her.
Xu Shiyue lowered his eyes and looked at the girl who seemed to be curled up slightly because of the cold, and didn't want to abandon her like that.
"No-"
But when Xu Shiyue tried to reject Shen Yanxing for the second time, he was still blocked by the blockage.
Xu Shiyue's brows, hidden by his hair, furrowed slightly. He just paused for a moment and did not fight against this feeling.
She just looked up at the bodyguard standing outside the door and changed her approach: "Li."
The bodyguard immediately walked in upon hearing the voice: "Ms. Xu."
"Where is the car that brought us here parked?" Xu Shiyue asked.
"Parking lot," the bodyguard surnamed Li answered, and then asked with extra tact: "Do you want me to ask the driver to come over?"
Xu Shiyue's vocal cords trembled slightly, and he nodded to the bodyguard without being stopped: "Yeah."
The two did not have this conversation behind Shen Yanxing's back. She just watched the bodyguard leave as if she understood what Xu Shiyue meant.
At the same time, that force seemed to realize that Xu Shiyue had tricked it with a roundabout strategy, and suddenly became a little angry.
Xu Shiyue felt a slight numbness in his calves and arms, and fumbled to complete the action of standing up on his own and leaving Lu Shizhen behind.
Slowly, an inexplicable thought slowly flooded into her brain, as if to make her previous behavior and thoughts "reasonable" and "correct".
"Are we leaving?" As if she felt some movement of her legs, she hazily opened her half-asleep eyes and asked in a daze.
The sound was not clear, but it reached Xu Shiyue's ears particularly clearly.
The girl who had been resting on her legs reappeared in her dazed eyes, and the smell of alcohol mixed with the scent of roses drifted into her nostrils.
As if he had touched some safe word, Xu Shiyue was pulled back immediately.
Those cold eyes contained a rare gentleness, and he said to Lu Shizhen in a calm voice: "Wait a moment."
Xu Shiyue's voice was just as calm as Lu Shizhen remembered, but it also revealed a hint of effort.
It is disgust and resistance.
Xu Shiyue has never been someone who would willingly be controlled, even if it is her body that is controlling her at the moment.
She doesn't want to.
Even if the numbness was gradually threatening to block the blood flow to her entire arm, she refused.
Maybe even the systems don’t know what kind of paradox they have created, or maybe they are always confident that they can control the paradox.
They wanted Xu Shiyue to be tortured and completely turned into a black moonlight that would kill anyone and god who stood in her way, but they also wanted to control her and demand that she obey their orders.
Perhaps they have succeeded many times in millions of worlds, but Xu Shiyue is not one of them.
The noise from the corridor could be heard from the open door of the box from time to time, and the cool breeze that blew in was a common feature of the hustle and bustle.
And even in such a scene, undercurrents were surging. Although there were no signs at all, the situation was already tense to the extreme.
Xu Shiyue didn't know what was happening to her body, but that didn't stop her from trying to avoid the word that her heart resisted and prohibited.
After a short while, or maybe just two seconds, Xu Shiyue said to Shen Yanxing in a statement, as if notifying him: "I just confirmed it. I'm sorry."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Shiyue immediately felt as if an uncontrolled electric current had rushed through her body. The chaotic pain after the paralysis accumulated densely at her fingertips connected to her heart.
The moonlight outside the window swallowed up some of the bright lights, and there was no change on Xu Shiyue's face reflected in the moonlight.
But Shen Yanxing's expression seemed to relax for a moment.
She didn't argue and said, "It's okay. I won't bother you then."
"Yeah." Xu Shiyue nodded slightly.
In an instant, the only light left at the door was the light coming in from the corridor, which was so bright that it disrupted the originally balanced light in the box.
Xu Shiyue looked at the empty door and said to the bodyguard standing outside, "Li, take off your coat."
The bodyguard didn't understand what Miss Shen was going to do and was stunned for a moment in surprise.
However, Xu Shiyue's deep voice was filled with a sense of oppression that even their young lady did not have, and doubt could not be a reason for him to refuse to obey.
Without pausing, Li took off his coat neatly and handed it to Xu Shiyue: "Ms. Xu."
Xu Shiyue took the coat and covered Lu Shizhen with it.
Her fingers slid across the thicker fabric, making a slight rubbing sound. Xu Shiyue's eyes followed her movements as she examined the person leaning on her legs. Her gaze was heavy, as if she was examining a strange creature.
Xu Shiyue couldn't understand what he had just experienced.
The numbness in her hands and even her body disappeared instantly after she said that, and she was back to normal and calm as if nothing had happened.
So what happened just now
As she was thinking this, she felt a rustling sound on her legs.
Lu Shizhen felt the warmth and movement in his body. He opened his eyes and slightly raised his head in the direction of Xu Shiyue's gaze.
Xu Shiyue saw the blurry eyes flickering silently in her sight and asked, "Are you still cold?"
Lu Shizhen shook his head and looked at Xu Shiyue in confusion.
The combination of sleepiness and alcohol made her voice unclear: "Why don't you walk with Shen Yan?"
"Are you looking forward to me walking with Shen Yan?" Xu Shiyue asked in a calm voice.
Lu Shizhen shook his head first, and then nodded.
After a pause, she somehow changed her mind and shook her head at Xu Shiyue.
Like a little robot stuck in a programming mess.
Xu Shiyue narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the girl who had clearly revealed her contradictions without saying anything.
She just naturally dropped her hands on Lu Shizhen's body and sneered: "Lu Shizhen, is this question so difficult for you?"
As soon as the words came out, the "little robot" was completely stuck.
Xu Shiyue's smile was soft, but her slightly cold voice made her mood seem a little unpredictable.
With his brain paralyzed by alcohol, Lu Shizhen now only had his intuition and the life-threatening mission left. For a moment, he didn't know how to answer Xu Shiyue's question. He just blinked his eyes, looking confused and pitiful.
At this moment, Li came in again and reminded: "Miss Xu, the car is here."
Xu Shiyue didn't insist on Lu Shizhen answering her. After hearing this, she let go of the question to Lu Shizhen and said suddenly: "Forget it, just come with me."
As night falls, the hotel becomes more and more lively, and all kinds of noisy sounds can be heard faintly in the corridor through the private rooms.
Lu Shizhen was carried out by a bodyguard, and in a daze he was humming along with the impromptu chorus in a private room.
"Forgive me for being wild and uninhibited and loving freedom... I am also afraid that I will fall one day!! Ahem, let's be honest... Everyone can..."
No one expected that Miss Lu, who seemed to be an all-rounder on weekdays, would speak such terrible Cantonese. Li felt a little overwhelmed when he heard it.
Xu Shiyue accepted it quickly and calmly got into the car while listening to Lu Shizhen's singing.
A car passed by in the distance, the light shone into the dim compartment, and there seemed to be a smile on the corner of the man's mouth.
But this smile didn't last long, and Lu Shizhen fell on her legs while singing "I'm afraid there will be a day..."
This caught Xu Shiyue off guard, and then she heard a vague voice coming from her leg: "You and me."
The originally vague sound was a mixture of Cantonese and Mandarin, and was particularly clear in Xu Shiyue's ears.
She just looked at the head on her legs, and saw the pair of eyes with a hint of smile in the dim light.
It was pitch black, and there was something pure and sincere about it.
If she could see clearly, she would definitely see her own reflection in it.
Plop, plop.
The moon was half covered by dark clouds, and Xu Shiyue's eyes looked gloomy and a little flustered.
She just looked at this girl who would return to her "abnormal" nature once she drank, and raised her hand to cover her face with her hair.
Xu Shiyue thought that with such a person and in such a state, she would answer any question she asked.
Of course, Xu Shiyue had a lot to ask Lu Shizhen, but she glanced at the Lu family driver sitting in front of her, and then looked at Lu Shizhen who was drowsy with his head resting on her legs. Her thin lips, which were lightly pursed, never opened again.
The evergreen trees outside the hotel swayed in the night wind, and the car started up and drove into the night.
.
Although the sunshine the next morning was not as good as yesterday's, it was still bright and warm.
Lu Shizhen woke up from his sleep in a daze, feeling dully as if a piece of his brain was missing.
She still remembered that she seemed to be drunk again yesterday, but it was at a band party, so nothing should happen...
Thinking of this, Lu Shizhen slowly opened his eyes.
The next second, the whole person froze.
The sunlight spread gently across the room, clearly outlining the girl's lowered eyes.
Xu Shiyue sat in front of her bed, a pair of white headphones showing from under her black hair, looking at her phone with a calm expression.
How is this going
Lu Shizhen's head was full of question marks, and then Xu Shiyue noticed her movements: "Awake?"
"Yeah." Lu Shizhen nodded, "You...are you reading a book?"
"Miao Miao recommended me a few good books." Xu Shiyue replied with some approval in her tone, "I was originally thinking of adjusting it, but now I feel that some of the books on the Internet are really good."
Lu Shizhen didn't expect Xu Shiyue to be interested in it, which was a bit surprising. In addition, she hadn't had time to watch it since she came to this world, so when Xu Shiyue mentioned it, she felt a little itchy.
She didn't know how different this world was from her original world. If Xu Shiyue thought it was good, she would buy some to watch.
"What kind of texts are these?" Lu Shizhen asked curiously.
Xu Shiyue seemed happy to share it with Lu Shizhen. Upon hearing this, he exited the interface and touched the cover.
The sunlight fell into her calm eyes, with a somewhat unhurried taste: "Some... book-traveling system stories."
