Ling Xiao rubbed his eyes vigorously, only to confirm that the person in front of him was not his hallucination.
"Lan Sheng? Is it really you? How are you...?"
"Are you surprised to see me?" Lan Sheng asked back.
Indeed, because the principal has been in the CDC for six years, he has already been hailed as a miracle by the dean. Isn't that a miracle that Lan Sheng, who has only been there for a year
But even so, seeing the person I just missed appearing in front of my eyes always surpasses my surprise.
Seeing that Ling Xiao's expression kept changing, Lan Sheng smiled again, took the initiative to step forward, and gave Ling Xiao a hug.
"I miss you."
Ling Xiao hugged back tightly, "Me too."
Thousands of words after parting were condensed into this intimate hug, until after a long period of time, the two reluctantly let go of each other.
"You've grown so tall," Lan Sheng looked up at him with mixed emotions in his eyes.
Ling Xiao only then remembered that he now has eyes of the same color as his, and he no longer shy away from his identity as a deed child, and he will introduce the deed master to them generously when he meets new friends. But Lan Sheng is different. He is an old friend of his in the elementary school. Because of his misfortune, Ling Xiao once swore not to be a pawn, but when we meet again today, two people who don't want to be pawns have become pawns of others.
But Lansheng didn't ask Ling Xiao any embarrassing questions, and he acted very calm in the face of the other party's gray eyes.
"Won't you invite me in?" he asked.
"Oh," Ling Xiao realized that the two of them were still here, and hurriedly invited Lan Sheng in.
Lan Sheng looked around with interest from the moment he entered the room, Ling Xiao was so full of questions that he could not wait to pour it out.
"When did you come out of the CDC? Why didn't you tell me to pick you up? How did you get in, Yutian, didn't the guard stop you?"
Lan Sheng didn't answer any of his questions, but said with emotion, "So Yutian's dormitory looks like this. I used to yearn to study here, but unfortunately I don't have this opportunity anymore."
When Ling Xiao heard this, he felt sad for a while, not knowing what to say.
On the contrary, Lan Sheng saw him like this and comforted him, "But seeing you get admitted to Yutian, you will be as happy as me, and you don't have to feel sorry for me."
Unexpectedly, he looked more open than himself, and Ling Xiao's sad mood was faintly comforted.
At this moment, a black shadow jumped out of the bedroom, aiming at the extra people in the room and pounced over. Ling Xiao's eyes were quick and he quickly stood up to stop it.
"Small gray!"
Seeing Ling Xiao standing in front of him, Xiao Hui quickly retracted his claws, but because of his body imbalance, he rolled heavily to the ground. After turning over two reels, he stood up and directed Lan Sheng, who was behind Ling Xiao, with a whining warning from the depths of his throat. Voice.
"Xiao Hui! He is my friend, don't be rude!" Ling Xiao stopped it.
Although he didn't accept it, but Ling Xiao said this, Xiao Hui could only retreat step by step, his eyes full of hostility always locked on Lan Sheng.
"Is this your dog?" Lan Sheng asked curiously behind him.
"Xiao Hui is not a dog, it's a wolf. I'm sorry, Xiao Hui is not usually like this."
Even the person it doesn't like, just coldly uses his butt to face each other, this is the first time that he is so aggressive.
Lan Sheng shook his head to indicate that it was fine, and continued to visit Ling Xiao's dormitory. He went from the living room to the bedroom. The most conspicuous thing here was the group photo of Ling Xiao and Ying Feng on the wall. Lan Sheng naturally saw it.
"Uh..." Seeing Lan Sheng scrutinizing the photos on the wall, Ling Xiao felt a little embarrassed again. Lan Sheng knew Ying Feng and had heard the big words he said when he was young and ignorant. Now everything is reversed. , it's like a replica of Lan Sheng and Ping Zong.
After looking at him for a long time, Lan Sheng said, "You finally came together with Ying Feng. Back then, I felt that you treated him differently from others. You kept his name on your lips and kept saying that you were a competitor. Or have different feelings."
Ling Xiao couldn't refute it. When he was young and ignorant, he couldn't recognize his own feelings, and he needed an instrument to tell him the truth.
"How is your relationship now?"
"Uh... um," Ling Xiao replied awkwardly.
Seeing that he was so nervous, Lan Sheng smiled again, "I have no problem with Ying Feng, I just remember that he is very strong and cold. It must be difficult for you to get along with him."
"No," Ling Xiao hurriedly denied, "Actually, he's... pretty easy to get along with."
Ling Xiao said that he didn't have much confidence in his words. Ying Feng was indeed a very difficult person to get along with for people he didn't know well.
But it is also because of this that he, who is looked upon differently by Ying Feng, has the feeling that he is the only one in the eyes of the other party every day, but it is a pity that others cannot understand it.
"Really?" Lan Sheng accepted it naturally, "I'm really happy for you to see you like this now, studying in an excellent university and being with the person you like."
Before Ling Xiao could figure out how to answer, the other party's tone seemed to drop a few degrees, "All of this, if you are the deed master, it will be perfect."
Ling Xiao was a little surprised. He didn't understand why Lan Sheng said that, nor did he understand his intentions.
"Why are you looking at me so surprised?" Lan Sheng turned his head, "Don't you think so?"
Ling Xiao's mouth moved, "Alright... alright... "
"You were the one who was determined to be the master of Ying Feng's deed, but now you have become his deed. Although the object has not changed, but the identity is completely different, can you accept it?"
Ling Xiao became serious, "I don't know why you ask that. Although Ying Feng is now my contract owner, since we accepted each other, he has never done anything excessive to me as a contract owner."
"Even before that he did it."
"That's right, but..."
"So have you accepted your identity as a Qizi willingly? Or you have to face the reality when you have no power, can't resist, and are suppressed again and again, and in turn hypnotize yourself, it's not bad, isn't it?"
Ling Xiao was speechless when asked.
Lan Sheng shook his head in disappointment, "Ling Xiao, you have really changed a lot."
Ling Xiao wanted to say that this shouldn't be the case. Lan Sheng is clearly the person who sees the identity of the deed master and deed child most thoroughly. It is because of his insistence that Pingzong is reincarnated. He should have realized this issue a long time ago. right.
But in the face of such Lan Sheng, Ling Xiao couldn't say a word. Now Lan Sheng has become very strange. The CDC has completely transformed him into a different person in one year. Although he often laughs, But the smile never reached the bottom of his eyes, and the coldness emanating from his body even surpassed that of Ying Feng.
No, Ying Feng's coldness comes from the naturalness of his character. But what pervades Lan Sheng's surroundings is a layer of black smoke and cold air, Ying Feng will only make people dare not approach, but Lan Sheng makes people want to escape.
Lan Sheng, who had spoken harshly to Ling Xiao just now, softened his attitude, "But what right do I have to accuse you? After so long, everything outside has changed, even myself."
Ling Xiao immediately thought of what he had seen and heard when he went to the CDC. It is impossible not to change one's psychology if he could stay in that kind of place for a year.
If it's just because of this, then Lan Sheng has come out now, all he needs is a little time.
So Ling Xiao asked, "Have you left the CDC completely now? Where are you going next?"
Lan Sheng also naturally followed him and changed the subject, "I haven't made up my mind yet, but I don't plan to continue my studies. Someone offered me a job, and I'm going to try it out."
"Work?" Ling Xiao felt a little regretful when he heard that he didn't plan to continue his studies, but he felt relieved when he knew that he was going to work.
"Where is the job, is it far from here? It doesn't matter if it is far, leave me the address, and I will visit you often."
Then he thought again, "Is it Tiansu's job? I met a friend before, um," Ling Xiao considered his words, "his situation is similar to yours, he said that with his physique, outside of Tiansu Local survival is hard work.”
"I understand, it's soul pulling," Lan Sheng said generously, "The less healthy people are, the more serious the impact will be. For people like me who haven't developed at all, even if they go to Lupus, they won't feel better. "
"You don't have to worry about me, I'm not as fragile as you think, but you," Lan Sheng raised his hand and touched Ling Xiao's cheek, "It's made me feel uneasy since a long time ago, and it's still the same to this day. ."
His words brought Ling Xiao back to the night when Lan Sheng came to him to say goodbye. Every word and sentence he said was deeply imprinted in his heart.
They agreed to meet again, and now this wish has finally come true, but it was never thought at that time that when they met again, it was a matter of right and wrong.
"Okay," Lan Sheng put his hand down, "I'm leaving, but before I leave, I want to ask you to return the things I asked you to keep for me."
"Ah," Ling Xiao then remembered, "Wait a minute."
He took out the box Lan Sheng gave him from a hidden place under the bed, and hesitated for a moment, "This box... is it still useful to you?"
Lan Sheng guessed that there must be more than what he left to him in the box, "No, just return the dagger to me, you can keep the box."
Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly opened the lid of the box, and carefully took out Pingzong's dagger.
"Give you."
Lan Sheng took it over, looking at things and thinking about people, and fell into contemplation for a long time.
Ling Xiao didn't bother him until Lan Sheng recovered by himself and caught a glimpse of the contents of the box.
"What are you doing collecting so much junk?"
"No," Ling Xiao hurriedly closed the lid, "just save it for fun."
Lan Sheng ignored it, and Ling Xiao stuffed the box back into place again.
"Thank you for your safekeeping," Lan Sheng gestured to him with the dagger in his hand.
"No," Ling Xiao was a little uncomfortable with his politeness, "Ying Feng will be back soon, haven't you seen him?"
Lan Sheng showed his usual smile again, "No need, I didn't know him well."
"Alright then," Ling Xiao gave up, "I'll send you..."
As soon as he finished saying these three words, Xiao Hui, who had always been facing the enemy, shouted at him loudly. Ling Xiao had never seen Xiao Hui so excited before.
"Don't make trouble, Xiao Hui, I'll be right back."
Seeing that he couldn't stop him, Xiao Hui jumped up desperately and rushed straight to Lan Sheng, but this time even Ling Xiao didn't stop it, seeing Xiao Hui's fangs biting Lan Sheng's arm fiercely.
"Little Hui!" Ling Xiao cried anxiously.
Lan Sheng's brows wrinkled, but he didn't shake it off twice, the dagger in his hand turned, and along with a whimper, Xiao Hui let out his mouth in pain and fell to the ground, making a pitiful whimper all the time.
"Xiao Hui!" Ling Xiao called out its name again, but this time he was full of worry.
He hurriedly squatted down to check on Xiao Hui's injury, but fortunately, Lan Sheng's shot was not serious, he only cut the epidermis of its front paws, which was a warning to it.
"I'm sorry, it bites me, I just reflex..."
Ling Xiao felt a little stuck in his heart. Although Xiao Hui was rude, he was an ignorant animal after all, but when he raised his head, he saw that Lan Sheng also had two deep tooth marks on his arm. Forced to swallow again.
He could only hate the iron and rubbed Xiao Hui's belly, "Xiao Hui, why are you doing this today, wait for me to bring gauze to wrap it up for you."
Xiao Hui is not a Tiansu person, so he cannot be treated with soul crystals. He can only wait for the wound to recover slowly after being injured, which is really troublesome.
"I'm leaving now, won't you give me a ride?" He just got up to get the medical kit, but was stopped by Lan Sheng.
Ling Xiao looked at the injured Little Hui anxiously, and it screamed pitifully, "I'll just deal with it, it's really fast."
Lan Sheng raised his hand and glanced at the time, "I don't have enough time. After I leave this time, we won't be able to meet again for a long time."
Lan Sheng was his former best friend after all, so it wouldn't make sense if he didn't give it away before he left. Xiao Hui's injury didn't seem that serious, but it screamed exaggeratedly, as if someone had cut off its claws.
Ling Xiao carried Xiao Hui to the bed, and warned, "I will be back soon, please bear with me a little."
No matter how Xiao Hui howled, he couldn't keep Ling Xiao. Looking at the back of him leaving, Xiao Hui flipped up and jumped out of bed, quickly chasing after him. With that nimble movement, he couldn't tell that he was injured. .
But the door was completely closed in front of it, and Xiao Hui was desperately pulling on the door, screaming anxiously, expecting Ling Xiao to turn back.
"It's not usually like this, and I don't know what happened to it today," Ling Xiao felt a little guilty when he saw the wound on Lan Sheng's wrist, "I'll treat it for you."
"No need," Lan Sheng declined, "I know you're in a hurry, my car is on the tarmac, and it won't last long if you come and go."
The two soon came to the apron, and Lan Sheng actually had a car, which was a relatively new aircraft.
"Where did this come from?" Ling Xiao asked.
"I lent it to me where I work," Lan Sheng replied lightly.
"Oh," Ling Xiao believed without much doubt.
Lan Sheng stood in front of the cabin door, "Okay, thank you for sending me off."
Ling Xiao really wanted to say goodbye to him, but he was still thinking about Xiao Hui in the dormitory.
"Remember to contact me."
"must."
Lan Sheng hugged him again, Ling Xiao didn't think too much, he also hugged him and patted his back, when he heard Lan Sheng's voice whispering from his chest.
"But I can't bear what to do with you."
"What?" Ling Xiao didn't hear clearly.
"Then come with me."
Ling Xiao was stabbed with a needle in the back, and the cold liquid was injected into his body. Ling Xiao was unable to exert himself, and his eyes gradually became blurred.
Until he fell into a coma, he couldn't believe that Lan Sheng would do such a thing to himself. He was his best friend, and he never had the slightest doubt about him.
"Why..." he struggled to say the words.
"Because I don't want to see you like this," Lan Sheng gently supported his body, "I will help you end this pain."
But I really don't suffer at all, why don't you understand
Ling Xiao closed his eyes and thought of Xiao Hui, who was injured at home alone. No wonder it reacted so radically. The intuition of beasts is usually terrifying. Why didn't he receive its warning of danger
The moment he fell, he seemed to see the figure of Ying Feng returning from the dust, it was getting dark, where did you go
