The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 763 Lightness
That was the happiest and happiest day in Liu Haoqiang's life. It was a day that she would never forget as long as she was alive for one second.

That day, except for the desperate early morning, was perfect.

Liu Haoqiang and Ba Qiuchi skipped school together and stayed at his cousin's shop.

The third floor of the store is a small attic, which is also Ba Qiuchi's "secret base". Sunlight comes in from the skylight, making the attic warm and bright.

There are soft blankets on the wooden floor, various comics, magazines and novels, a radio and many music cassettes. There are posters of various handsome male stars on the walls of the attic.

The two of them lay on the blanket, listening to pop music together, reading blush-making girl comics, and chatting about private topics belonging to girls.

Ba Qiuchi also borrowed her cousin's cosmetics to put on Liu Haoqiang's makeup.

The two of them were playing around like best friends who have known each other for many years.

"Oh, don't move! I'll draw you a flaming red lip..." Ba Qiuchi smiled and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, I haven't asked your name yet."

"Liu Haoqiang."

"Ah?" Ba Qiuchi thought he heard wrongly.

"Liu Haoqiang." She repeated.

"Why do you call a girl such a name? It doesn't sound good at all." Ba Qiuchi said bluntly.

Liu Haoqiang lowered his head subconsciously.

"Don't bow your head!" Ba Qiuchi reached out to lift her chin and continued to apply lipstick on her: "How about you give yourself a name?"

"Can you?"

"why not?"

"The name was given by my parents..."

"Whatever!" Ba Qiuchi said unfazed: "If my father gives me an unpleasant name, I will definitely change it."

"Yeah." Liu Haoqiang smiled, but his eyes were still a little unsure: "But, I don't know what to change."

"How is Liu Qingqing?"

"Light?"

"Well, actually this morning, I spotted you as soon as you came out of Tongzilou." Ba Qiuchi took back the lipstick: "Okay! Perfect flaming red lips, wait, there is something missing, your eyes are not charming enough, I will apply it on you again One eyelash..."

Ba Qiuchi took out the mascara and said: "You were wearing a little red dress, barefoot, dancing on the road, like an elf, beautiful, agile, elegant..."

Liu Haoqiang blushed. This was the first time she had been praised like this: "Don't talk nonsense, there is no way..."

"Really! I think the word 'light' is the most suitable for you. You are the kind of light and airy beauty. You may be drying the sheets in the yard one day, and suddenly fly away and disappear into the blue sky..."

"A strange description." Liu Haoqiang said.

"Haha, Liu Qingqing." Ba Qiuchi looked at Liu Haoqiang, "Don't you think it sounds good?"

"Liu Qingqing." Liu Haoqiang repeated softly, his heart trembling slightly, as if his soul was touched by a pair of gentle hands.

She smiled and nodded: "Hello, Ba Qiuchi, my name is Liu Qingqing."

"Hello, Liu Qingqing, my name is Ba Qiuchi."

"Ba Qiuchi." Liu Qingqing mustered up the courage. Without any hesitation or fear, she pressed down Ba Qiuchi's hand to stop her from brushing her eyelashes.

"There is something I must tell you."

"You said."

"I'm intersex."

Ba Qiuchi was stunned: "Huh?"

"I am both a man's body and a woman's body, androgynous." Liu Qingqing looked at Ba Qiuchi: "But my soul is a woman. I have felt that I am a woman since I was a child."

"A freak like me, do you still want to be friends with me? If you regret it, it doesn't matter, I will leave immediately. I will pay you back the money I owe you..."

"Oh my god!" Ba Qiuchi stood up excitedly and knocked his head with a "bang", "Ah! It hurts!" "Are you okay?" Liu Qingqing didn't expect Ba Qiuchi's reaction to be so big, "I'll do it right away. Let’s go, I’m sorry, I’m leaving right now…”

"Liu Qingqing!" Ba Qiuchi ignored the pain and immediately squatted down, grabbing Liu Qingqing's shoulders with both hands: "You are so lucky!"

"Ah?" This time it was Liu Qingqing's turn to be dumbfounded.

"Being both a man and a woman, is there anything cooler than this?!"

"..." Liu Qingqing was stunned.

"You are God's beloved! You are the most perfect work of the Creator! God, I envy you so much! I really want to trade with you!"

Liu Qingqing looked at Ba Qiuchi blankly. She was not acting. Her eyes were excited, bright and sincere. She really thought Liu Qingqing was cool.

Once again, Liu Qingqing cried.

Her eyes were red and tears were streaming down her face.

At that moment, she sincerely thanked her fate, thanked herself for reaching the small stone bridge over the stinking ditch without jumping off, and thanked her for meeting the girl in front of her.

It's good to be alive.

It turns out that as long as you survive, good things will happen.

……

Liu Qingqing woke up on the couch in the office. She would take a nap at noon every day. The warm winter sun shone warmly on her body covered with a thin blanket.

She will fall asleep quickly, and there is no need to deliberately control [sweet dreams]. She can always go back to the day when she first met Ba Qiuchi, and return to that warm and bright little attic.

Today's dream was interrupted before it ended.

Liu Qingqing stood up slowly and said in a polite voice: "Who is this?"

The office window was gently pushed open a crack, and the sound of cans appeared in the air: "Boss Liu, it's me. Hehe, I'm sorry to disturb your nap. Are you free tonight?"

Liu Qingqing did not answer, but smiled slightly, and a white petal appeared on her slender fingers.

"Soon-"

A breeze blew into the room, wrapped around Liu Qing's fingers, gently held up the petals, sent them out the window and quickly disappeared.

"Copy that. Goodbye, Boss Liu."

The windows were sewn shut as if nothing had happened.

……

Gao Yang "wakes up", and the refreshing spring breeze blows in the face, rustling in the ears.

In front of you is the empty rooftop of the Tongzi Building, covered with white sheets, which glow cleanly in the bright sunshine.

Liu Qingqing was dressed in the style of a medieval country woman, wearing starched gloves and galoshes, and a polka-dot printed blue and white headscarf. She had her hair tied up, with two strands of hair hanging down on her lightly freckled cheeks.

She held a washtub in both hands with some clothes piled in it.

She looks like a beautiful, gentle, hardworking farm girl.

"Captain Jiu Si, long time no see." Liu Qingqing's smile also became simple according to the role she played.

"Long time no see." Gao Yang took a step forward and walked into the sunshine: "Let's get started."

"Haha, it's still as direct as ever." Liu Qingqing put down the wash basin and waved her hand gently. An exquisite small round table and two wicker chairs appeared between the two of them. On the table were a pot of scented tea and a pot of waffles. cake.

After sitting down with each other, Liu Qingqing poured tea for Gao Yang: "Do you have any information for me?"

Gao Yang nodded: "One S, one S+."

Liu Qingqing's eyes lit up: "As expected of you, it's a big deal as soon as you open your mouth."
