"Professor Su, aren't you angry that your sister said that to you in front of you?"
While driving, Zhou Qi suddenly asked.
At this time, the car had been driving for a few minutes, and it had been quiet. Su Zhiyun had not said a word, and Li Qing had been leaning on Zhou Qi's shoulder, looking down blankly, making no sound.
The scenery outside the window recedes like lightning,
Su Zhiyun closed the slightly opened car window and replied calmly: "I'm not angry."
"Aren't you angry about this?" Zhou Qi suddenly raised his voice: "Then why do you get angry when I say a few words to you? You look down on me, right?"
"..." Su Zhiyun refused to answer.
Zhou Qi curled his lips and asked, "Then your relationship shouldn't be very good. You haven't even said a word to each other. You ignored her and she looked at you as if you were an enemy."
Su Zhiyun turned his head slightly and glanced at Zhou Qi: "I thought you would know the reason."
"How is that possible?" Zhou Qi looked innocent: "How do I know about your family affairs? Those who can survive in an environment like the end of the world will never take the initiative to talk about these things."
"..."
Su Zhiyun didn't say anything after hearing this.
He just organized his words slightly and said calmly: "Many years ago, our mother had a very bad relationship, with many conflicts over family, ideology, politics, status, etc.
But at that time it was just a conflict between the elders, and the relationship between us juniors was relatively relaxed.
It's just... Later, my mother died, and their conflicts were transferred to us. Su Yiman was also brainwashed, and she also had deep resentment towards me. "
"Ah," Zhou Qi blinked: "Why did the conflict shift to you after your mother died? Shouldn't you be dissatisfied with them? They treat you better?"
Su Zhiyun replied calmly: "My mother wanted to kill them, but she failed and was killed instead."
"...awesome."
Zhou Qi smacked his lips, thinking that Professor Su's family experience was so wonderful.
No wonder he could develop such a character and do such things... No wonder Su Yiman resented her so deeply and was not polite at all. It turned out that there was such a relationship in it.
He turned to look at Li Qing who was leaning against him, thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "Professor Su, let me ask you a question."
"What?"
"What would you do if one day I died suddenly?"
"?"
Su Zhiyun frowned and glanced at the rearview mirror, wondering why Zhou Qi said this.
Without thinking too much, she replied: "I don't know."
Zhou Qi asked: "Is it because I don't know what to do, or I don't know how to answer?"
Su Zhiyun shook his head slightly: "I don't know how to answer."
"Oh, what I said may be a bit vague..." Zhou Qi pondered for a moment:
"But that's what I mean. Many things don't leave room for preparation. Maybe in a few hours, maybe one day in the future, I haven't achieved my goal, and you haven't completed your layout, and I He died suddenly, what should you do?"
"..." Su Zhiyun controlled the car to slow down slightly and asked, "This must be the problem?"
Zhou Qi nodded: "Yes."
"Will you definitely die?"
"Yes."
"What's the cause of death?"
"Everything counts."
"..."
Su Zhiyun's hand holding the steering wheel was a little harder.
For some reason, after hearing Zhou Qi's words, she felt an indescribable depression in her heart again.
Maybe it's motion sickness.
She wanted to open the window, but before she could finish her words, she had to take a deep breath to adjust.
The atmosphere was condensed, and the driving condition of the car seemed to become heavier.
After a moment, she slowly replied: "I will probably... die with you."
"Ah." The corner of Zhou Qi's mouth moved: "But I have guaranteed that you will not die."
"……Um?"
The moment he reacted, Su Zhiyun frowned.
She suddenly felt a little cold in her hands and feet.
"...What do you mean?" Her voice deepened.
"No harm done."
Zhou Qi looked out the window and sighed softly: "Just say it casually, if I die, it doesn't matter what you want to do..."
Buzz~~
Sudden.
He felt a vibration in his pocket.
He turned back and took out his phone. Just as he was about to take a look at who sent the message, he saw Li Qing leaning on his shoulder, holding the phone with his head down, pressing something.
"?"
He raised his eyebrows, and instead of looking at the other party's screen, he took out his phone and opened it.
Then, he saw two messages from Li Qing on the screen:
[Zhou Qi, I’m so cold. 】
【Grievance.jpg】
——

Cheng Yuren feels that something is wrong with him recently.
Ever since Li Qing and her father were inexplicably involved in certain incidents a few days ago, he began to feel abnormal.
It's physiological.
A feeling like a light on the back and a chill in the body.
However, when he was arrested and imprisoned by a group of policemen, he was strangely released the next day.
Not only was he cold, he actually started to hallucinate.
lake!
Yes, he could always vaguely see a lake.
Under the gloomy sky, there is a lake covered with thin ice. It is dark and deep below, with undercurrents surging, and the surrounding fog is so thick that you can't see the distance.
Of course,
At that time, he didn't pay much attention to it. He just thought it was caused by not smoking for too long.
At that time, all he could think about was, what situation was he in? What kind of turmoil has your family been involved in? And why wasn't he punished?
Didn't care too much about anything else.
Can,
He couldn't understand these things, and he couldn't verify anything.
No one told him either.
His mother should know, but... every time his mother looked at him, she looked like she wanted to kill him. Naturally, he didn't dare to ask, so he could only curse a few words in his mind.
Father... treated him the same way.
And when he came back to his senses, he discovered that he said he was released, but in fact he was imprisoned in a decent way. He could only stay in an ordinary house every day, and his every move was monitored, and he could not do anything. Outrageous behavior...
This made him feel bad.
But... he still didn't care about anything at that time. His consistent experience since he was a child: "If you make a mistake, no matter if there is any punishment, just wait, it will be fine." He couldn't think of any panic and fear. To truly resist.
but……
after that,
As his withdrawal reactions became stronger and stronger each time, he began to get scared.
because……
Every time, the illusion before his eyes becomes more real...
Cheng Yuren started to panic.
He couldn't describe why it was always that lake.
And he couldn't describe why whenever he wanted to do something, the ice under his feet would start to crack, just like any move in reality would put the ice under a lot of pressure.
He could feel that it would be very dangerous under the ice, and something bad would definitely happen if he fell.
He was scared.
But there was nothing he could do, he couldn't even ask for help because he was forbidden to have contact with anyone...
He could only slow down all his daily movements, including eating, going to the toilet, even walking, dressing, etc. He became like a stuck robot, not daring to speak loudly or make violent movements. Afraid of the ice completely shattering.
But even so, he could still feel that there were more and more cracks in the ice.
until today.
This is the third day of his imprisonment.
He fell.
…
It's late, it's late, I'm sorry, I wish you all a happy Chinese Valentine's Day...
