After Su Xiao finished reading the novel, she collapsed from the chair to the ground. She was so embarrassed to see others. She lay on the ground in an extremely funny posture, not daring to look at Qin Yu's expression.
Su Xiaoxiao, you are such a lunatic, why did you say it? It’s all Qiaoqiao’s fault. What did you say about kissing her...ahhhh! How to do how to do?
Qin Yu was obviously stunned. Is this some kind of ritual before taking pictures? Don’t understand but respect.
"Want to try?" Qin Yu lowered his eyes and looked at Su Xiaoxiao like an ostrich on the ground.
Um? !
Su Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up and she suddenly raised her head, "Try... try?"
Unlike her panic, Qin Yu stretched out his hand to her calmly, "Well, you should get up first. The floor is dirty. I haven't mopped it for a long time."
Afraid that Qin Yu would regret it, Su Xiaoxiao held her cold palm and stood up, facing her, "Sister Qin Yu, I really... kissed you."
Qin Yu stretched out his profile towards her, ready.
Her heartbeat was frighteningly fast. Su Xiaoxiao looked at Qin Yu who was sitting in front of her with his own filter. He leaned close to her, swallowed a sip of saliva and tilted his head. His eyelashes lowered and his soft lips touched lightly.
Qin Yu's body froze, his eyes widened suddenly, his pupils were shaking, wasn't he...kissing his cheek...?
The fingertips on both knees were curled up into fists. Why was the heart beating faster? It was as if a small flame was lit deep in the body, constantly radiating heat to the limbs and bones. It was so strange...
Su Xiaoxiao moved her lips and opened her eyes, she saw Qin Yu's cheeks were red and his misty eyes were sparkling. When he met his eyes, he looked away in panic, looking at a loss.
She gently lifted Qin Yu's chin, turned her face back, abandoned her usual carefree and playful look, and said seriously: "Sister Qin Yu, I like you."
With a "crunch", Qin Yu stepped back on the chair and looked at her in shock.
"Pfft!" Although he was nervous, he still laughed heartily when he saw her like this, "Sister Qin Yu, you are so cute."
Qin Yu immediately covered his face and turned away, "No, don't say such disgusting words."
Su Xiaoxiao took two steps forward and said, "I'm sorry, sister Qin Yu, I scared you. You don't have to rush to reply to me. I won't force you!"
Shudderingly lighting a cigarette, Qin Yu's eyes wandered but never looked at Su Xiaoxiao. She exhaled a puff of smoke and shook her legs unconsciously, "Let's take pictures."
"Okay!" She picked up the camera and flipped the display. She was delighted that she and Qin Yu were one step closer. Although she did not agree immediately, she did not explicitly refuse either.
The two of them faced the camera, and only Su Xiaoxiao's face appeared on the screen. Su Xiaoxiao moved the camera lens in Qin Yu's direction without caring.
The smoke filled the air, but Su Xiaoxiao was still the only one on the camera screen.
Su Xiaoxiao's smile gradually solidified, and she turned to look at Qin Yu.
Qin Yu was looking at the camera screen in confusion, wondering why there wasn't... her.
She turned her head, and their eyes intertwined in the air. After a while, they both looked at the screen at the same time to confirm.
That's right, there is only Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao stood up stiffly and put away the camera, smiling as enthusiastically as before, "What a broken camera, something went wrong just a few days after I bought it. I have to go find him!"
Qin Yu frowned and looked at her, thinking constantly in his mind.
The smile on Su Xiaoxiao's lips became more and more unnatural. She backed away from Qin Yu who was sitting there, "Sister Qin Yu, I'm going back first."
Qin Yu didn't speak from beginning to end, until Su Xiaoxiao's figure disappeared from the room, until there was a banging sound from the door opposite.
The cigarette in her hand burned out and her fingers were burned. She lowered her head and stared motionlessly. Strangely, she didn't feel any pain at all...
Why?
"Just take pictures, why do you want me to draw for you?"
"Because evil spirits can't appear in the camera, I can't be in the same frame as Wanwan. If Wanwan is unhappy, I have to comfort her."
This was the conversation Ji Chi had with her at that time.
The evil spirit cannot appear in the photo, so is she dead? When did you die?
She held her head and tried to recall, those things became increasingly blurry, how long had passed, when was it now...
When did she lose her sense of taste, when did she always forget to eat without feeling hungry, when did she know that the woman upstairs and the kid delivering cigarettes were not normal people? Since when did you not receive any royalties?
She kept pulling at her messy hair to comb everything out. In her distant memory, there was only one time, late at night, when she felt uncomfortable, so she went to bed to rest, and then fell asleep.
It felt like she had slept for a long time. After she got up, her body felt comfortable and she felt light all over. She got up and looked for something to eat, but then she found that it was very hard to eat.
She thought the food had gone bad because she hated going out and the food at home had been hoarded for a long time.
Later, her sense of taste never recovered. She thought it was physical problems caused by eating spoiled food, long-term irregular diet, and poor work and rest.
Everything was just self-comfort. Maybe deep down in her heart, she had already discovered it, but she was just unwilling to accept that she would be a loser until her death.
He raised his head and slumped down on the chair, lighting cigarettes one after another.
Didn't the person who just said he liked her escape as quickly as possible after learning the truth?
No one has ever liked her. Isn't it normal to run away after knowing the real her?
…
Spring passes and winter comes, year after year.
Su Xiaoxiao took a long leave of absence three years ago and resigned altogether. Qin Yu, whom he had occasionally met before, had not opened the door for three years.
Qiao Wan knew that something must have happened between them. Maybe Su Xiaoxiao didn't listen to her advice. After all, she was most afraid of ghosts.
Fortunately, she asked Ji Chi to let the vine go around the window and take a look. Qin Yu was still there, so she didn't care. She probably didn't want to be disturbed. After she figured it out, she would naturally be willing to come out.
After closing the folder and uploading the last chapter of Death Apartment, Qin Yu closed the computer and saw heavy snow falling outside the window.
Can a person who has died die again?
Her body couldn't feel pain, but it was no different from humans. She had all the organs she needed, and she would bleed when she was injured. After eating raw meat before, she felt hungry now.
She stood barefoot on the window sill, snowflakes whistling on her face, hair, eyelashes...
Looking at the empty bottom of the building, she had wanted to do this a long time ago.
Opening her hands, closing her eyes, and falling surrounded by countless snowflakes, she raised the corners of her lips. She really wanted to completely disappear into this world, a world where no one would welcome her.
…
Qiao Wan was coming home from get off work in the snow and wind. As soon as she stepped into the building, she heard a "bang". Her heart palpitated and she felt intense uneasiness. She turned around and rushed into the heavy snow, running along the corner of the apartment.
After running around the corner, a bright red spread on the white snow. She raised her head to look at where she fell, then ran over and shouted: "Qin Yu!"
She rolled and crawled to the center where the blood was spreading. The snowflakes covering Qin Yu's face could not melt. She opened her eyes, and blood was still seeping from the corners of her eyes and nose. Her calf was fractured and turned outwards, and her hands were twisted and twisted.
The smile disappeared when she fell, and she looked at the gloomy sky with unfocused eyes, "You already knew that, right."
Hearing her words, Qiao Wan finally released the air that was stuck in her chest. She stepped forward to straighten Qin Yu's arms and legs, and after her wounds healed, she lifted her up from the snow.
"Qin Yu, let me take you somewhere."
…
Taihe Cemetery——
Qiao Wan told Qin Yu everything about the cleaning aunt.
She said: "The cleaning lady said, if you think about it and decide to leave, let me take you here. Have you decided to leave? Or go back with me. We are not only friends, we can also be family if you want." .”
Qin Yu looked at the photo on the tombstone in a daze. That photo was the only selfie she took at that time. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be her last photo.
She smiled: "It turns out that I should have left a long time ago."
"Qiao Wan, thank you for taking care of me all the time, but I don't want to trouble anyone anymore."
After she finished speaking, starting from her feet, her body slowly turned into black mist...
"do not go!!!"
Not far away, a woman ran in embarrassment in the snow. She shouted as she ran, her voice hoarse as a cry, "Qin Yu, don't go! I was wrong, I was wrong..."
The black mist reached their thighs. Qin Yu and Qiao Wan looked at the sound at the same time. It was Su Xiaoxiao.
We hadn’t seen her for a few years. She had cut her hair short and looked much more mature. She ran here like crazy, tears streaming down her face, and her nose and cheeks were red from the cold.
He hugged Qin Yu who was disappearing with all his strength, and said in a trembling voice, "Please, please don't go! I was wrong, I was really wrong, I deserved it, I'm just a coward, you can stay, it's up to you. How to punish me."
Qin Yu held Su Xiaoxiao's arms and tried to push her away, "It's not your fault."
Su Xiaoxiao clung to her, "No, don't let me go even if I die."
Qin Yu pushed her again, "My clothes are full of blood and very dirty."
Su Xiaoxiao repeated, "I will never let you go until I die. You can't even think of leaving by yourself."
She has thought a lot about her in the past few years. She has tried to understand everything about her. She even went to the place where she was born and lived, and watched "Death Apartment", which she serialized and discontinued many years ago, and searched from inside. There are many clues about Wansen Apartment and her.
Seeing the black mist reaching Qin Yu's waist, she begged her, "What did you say in the second half of Death Apartment? Do you know that none of what you wrote later was successfully uploaded. After so many years, people are still begging you to update. Just treat it as if it’s for them and stay!”
She does not want the silent female writer in "The Apartment of Death" to end up with death.
Her love for her grew deeper and deeper, and she couldn't help but feel sorry for her, love her, and give up on her.
She truly, after considering everything, fell in love with her completely.
Qiao Wan glanced at the two of them and turned around to leave. She had already done what she had to do. What happened next was up to them.
——
Ji Chi lay on the window and blocked his ears. Qiao Xiaoran was playing his guitar again. It was so noisy that it completely disturbed his desire to wait for Wanwan's return.
"Boom!" Accompanied by the harsh noise and the loud noise made by the guitar falling to the ground, Ji Chi, who was concentrating on drawing hearts on the glass window, was frightened to jump.
He turned his head and saw that the guitar lying on the ground had three strings broken. That was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that this guitar was given to him by Wanwan! ! ! !
"Qiao, Xiao, Ran!!!" Ji Chi was so furious that the vines on the frame by the window danced all over the room.
Qiao Xiaoran's two fat little fingers were entwined on her chest, and the little red flower on her head was blooming brightly. She blinked her watery, innocent eyes and said in a childish voice, "Daddy, are you going to hit me?"
"Me!" Ji Chi's anger was filled with nowhere to vent. If the little villain were a boy, he would definitely wait for her, but she was a girl.
This little rascal looked like him when he was still a baby, but now he looks more and more like Wan Wan, which makes him unable to do anything.
He was furious, "You broke the guitar Wan Wan gave me, please pay for it!"
"Dad, we are all a family. How can we tell the difference between yours and mine? Besides, what's yours is mom's, and what's mine is mom's. What I broke was mom's stuff, and mom didn't say anything about me." Xiao Naiyin said clearly. Clear and logical.
"You!" Ji Chi was going crazy, and he had no words to refute.
Qiao Xiaoran pouted and whispered again, "And Ranran doesn't have any money..."
Ji Chi: "You wait until Wanwan comes back to deal with you!"
When Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrived, the door lock rang at this moment. The eyes of the big and small people lit up at the same time and they ran towards the door quickly.
"Wanwan!!"
"Mother!!"
