She is soft on my heart

Chapter 70 She is one step ahead of the light

There was also chaos outside.

The four cobblers finally ran into a dead mouse and tried to open a door, but they opened the wrong door. There was a room full of NPCs like zombies, and they were scared out of their wits.

After a chaotic and fierce fight, the four of them stood side by side like quails. Opposite them was the boss of the secret room and the staff who covered their stomachs and supported their waists and cried out for pain—they were the zombies.

People on both sides are discussing the issue of money.

Ou beat a staff member with a fine of [-] yuan, but it has not been determined yet for beating a group of workers.

Even though Princess Ke has privileges, she still has to follow the rules if she hits someone.

What's more, there are several zombie faces with special effect makeup mixed with red scratches from fingernails, and one side of the face is swollen.

Yang Lang and Bai Daiyi didn't have enough fighting energy, let alone those punches, kicks and shoulder falls.

Ke Manman glanced at the opposite side, and muttered in a small voice: "Now they don't seem so scary..."

The buddy with a swollen face was wearing zombie makeup, holding a disposable ice pack on his face, and said angrily, "How the hell can you scare me?"

"..."

The boss of the secret room was also helpless, sighed and was about to speak, when a staff member with a walkie-talkie rushed out from the next room and called the boss several times.

"The NO.17 secret room is malfunctioning, and some players are trapped inside."

The boss stopped the original conversation, frowned and asked him: "How many people?"

The backstage staff said in a hurry: "Two, a man and a woman, mainly I think one of them is not in a good condition."

Just as he was talking, another person rushed over with a set of keys. The boss put this aside and went inside with them.

Before Jiang Cong and Li Xingshen came out, Bai Daiyi and Yang Lang became more and more wrong, and then they met each other's eyes, and finally ran in when the boss lifted the curtain to enter.

Ru Ling also guessed about it, La Ke Manman went in, but Ke Manman didn't know, so he shook his head violently and refused to go into that ghost place again.

Jiang Cong is afraid of the dark, and the three of them knew about it by accident when they took him out to play in junior high school. Later, I heard Brother Yi say that he had to sleep with a small light on.

The specific reason is not clear, I only vaguely feel that it has something to do with his family, but Jiang Cong has never mentioned the Beihejiang family that everyone knows.

The family is rich in business, and the gossip is not separated from the wall. After hearing the adults in the family mention it a few times, the three of them can guess what should be a bad scar, and they have always avoided talking about related topics.

……

"Jiang Cong, are you alright?" Li Xingshen asked cautiously after an unknown amount of time had passed in the surrounding silence.

There was no response for a long time.

Li Xingshen's heart was very tense, and as soon as he moved his arms, he felt his arms folded and hugged even tighter.

"Li Xingchen." His voice was muffled and hoarse, and he just called her name.

Li Xingchen responded hastily: "Well, I'm here."

The still soft and delicate voice, in the dense darkness at this moment, carried immeasurable strength, soothing his intense and restless pain.

Without saying anything else, Li Xing wrapped his arms around his waist, buried his face halfway on his shoulder, and gently rubbed his back with his hand.

Silence flowed, and there was a sudden sound of running outside, which drew in quickly, and then, the metal sound of turning the key mixed with the sound of shouting.

In a few seconds, another door on the opposite side opened.

Bai Daiyi and Yang Lang held up their mobile phones, turned on the flashlight, and the moment the white light flooded in, they saw the two hugging tightly on the ground.

There was silence for a moment.

The inescapable nightmare in the past is like a black deep bottomless vortex, repeating and endless, he needs bright light to cut it off, to stop those memories that are more terrifying than darkness.

But this time, she was one step ahead of Guang and pulled him out of the abyss.

……

The sky is so dark that the few scattered stars are shining brightly. The moon is like a layer of fog, with hazy edges, and a round round hangs high in the darkness.

The unfinished business was discussed in the hall of the secret room, and he couldn't hear clearly from the outside. Jiang Cong leaned loosely by the lamppost, a little dazed.

The little moths were circling within the scope of the bright light, and the crowds were shuttling and clamoring. He just stood still, and his shadow was stretched and slender on the ground.

Light footsteps approached, and a thin shadow overlapped him, Li Xingshen stood in front of him, and handed him a bottle of mineral water.

Jiang Cong interrupted his thoughts of traveling in the sky, slowly raised his eyelids, and moved his eyes from the mineral water along her loose sleeves to her worried little face.

Jiang Cong moved the corner of his lower lip slightly, took the water from her hand, unscrewed it and took a sip, keeping his eyes on her. He tightened the cap of the bottle, and his moistened voice became clearer: "Did it scare you?"

Li Xingshen shook his head lightly, took a few steps closer, looked up at him slightly, and asked him the question he hadn't answered just now: "Jiang Cong, are you okay?"

He paused slightly, staring at her clean and bright eyes for a long time, pursed his lips, and said in a softer tone: "Well, it's all right."

Li Xingchen's expression did not relax at all because of his words.

When several people came out, they all breathed a sigh of relief, said a few words at the door, and then walked towards the two of them under the streetlight.

There was nothing unusual about Jiang Cong when he came out. Ke Manman, who had been outside all the time, didn't know what happened inside, thinking that the three of them simply went in and called the two of them who were alone to come out.

Therefore, everyone's expressions were a little frozen, only Ke Manman wrapped his fingers around a lock of hair, still thinking about the Ferris wheel, and looked left and right, wondering why they stopped talking.

"Daigou, what's the matter on your face?" Yang Lang was thinking about how to ask Jiang Cong if he was okay, but with a glance, he saw the red marks on Bai Daiyi's face.

Just now, he focused all his attention on the group of wounded zombies on the opposite side, and didn't look at the patches of red on Bai Daiyi's face.

"Huh?" Bai Daiyi wiped his face in doubt, some red unknown grease smeared his hands, and his eyebrows were twisted together, "Damn, it can't be the plasma on the faces of those buddies?! Who has the paper?" ?”

No one moved, Bai Daiyi was wiping with his hands.

Li Xingchen rolled his eyes, remembering that Jiang Cong wiped her hands with paper in the morning, she didn't think much, she reached out to touch his pocket, didn't find it, went to his right to touch another pocket, and finally took out the wrapping paper , handed one to Bai Daiyi and stuffed it back.

A series of seemingly innocuous actions, but it seems that the relationship between the two has become very intimate and natural without knowing it.

Jiang Cong's eyes followed her, and a genuine and relaxed smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Bai Daiyi took it, wiped it and said, "Brother Cong, why don't you give me the paper?"

Jiang Cong glanced at him, his expression returned to normal, and he casually opened his lips: "I don't want to waste."

Bai Daiyi: "..."

Ke Manman looked at the two people standing together by the lamppost, raised his chin and meditated.

Looking back on this day, the two of them seem to have been acting together. Although it was just a pack of inconspicuous papers, Jiang Cong, such a difficult person, allowed Lu Chi to touch him and dominate his belongings. Is this relationship cultivated? It's been a while...

After a flash of thought, Ru Ling stared at Ke Manman's lips and said suddenly, "Princess, why are you all out of lipstick?"

Bai Daiyi sniffed the paper, and frowned in confusion: "Why does this blood plasma smell like strawberries?"

Ke Manman: "..."
