The European Emperor’s character remains standing

Chapter 188: Moonlight Can't Relieve the Sadness in My Heart

When I woke up from the dream, I felt lost.

The sweetness and beauty in the dream came to an abrupt end after waking up. On that day, Lin Shilu was not with Zhe Er and the others. Zhu Qingyou sensed her hidden loss and sadness from the details and quietly accompanied her.

As the sun sets and night falls, Lin Shilu speaks out his heart: "I feel so tired." Salty tears slide down silently, and confusion and uneasiness fill his heart.

Zhu Qingyou held her in his arms and patted her back to comfort her: "It's okay, I will accompany you to face everything. Just say whatever you want to say, I will accompany you."

The barrier in the room has long been opened and no one can spy on it. It is a good place to talk about your inner thoughts.

"I don't know how to describe myself." She trembled slightly with anxiety, hugged Zhu Qingyou tightly to draw a sense of security, like a drowning person climbing to the surface of the water, holding tightly to the life-saving driftwood.

She did not use any words to comfort the other person. She felt an indescribable bitterness in her heart and shared the same emotions.

Their tears fell on each other's shoulders. Zhu Qingyou used a little trick to hide her feelings, and her tone was as calm as ever: "No matter where you are, no matter when, I will be with you. Don't be afraid, you and her will always meet."

"But will she still be herself?"

Anxiety crept into his heart. Xi Ling's temptation created this uneasiness and confusion, but no matter what, Lin Shilu's goal never changed, he always wanted Xi Ling to go home.

The crying voice was too heavy to be distinguished. Zhu Qingyou heard it clearly and said, "Yes, she may have changed. Separation and loneliness separated you, but the feeling of missing each other will be passed on to each other."

Her heart was broken, but Zhu Qingyou kept all her emotions locked inside, not letting them out at all. She opened her arms and only Lin Shilu was left holding her one-sidedly, with his fingertips trembling slightly.

"But what should I do if she never shows up? How can I look for her in such a vast sea of ​​people? Now, after only one day, I can no longer suppress my feelings. I can feel that her existence will gradually be unsealed as the fragments return, and the disappeared items will also reappear. But..."

Reason is eroded and emotions dominate everything.

"I don't know, I really don't know." Lin Shilu's tone collapsed and his movements became more forceful. The loneliness and longing that had been suppressed in his heart for years burst out at this moment. Sharing is the only way out.

Tears blurred her vision, but her instinct told her: salvation was right beside her, right in front of her.

The deer cub loosened his embrace and fell backwards as if he had used up all his strength. Zhu Qingyou woke up from a dream and hugged the person in his arms, "I will accompany you to share the burden, and I will always be your support."

"We said before that I will be your best sister. You can tell me all your resentment, fear, confusion and sadness, and I will share them with you." My mind was blank. It didn't matter what happened. She was not important. When the bottom line is someone, you can lower it again and again.

The point is that Lin Shilu is under extreme pressure now and is on the verge of breaking down. She must find a way to share her pressure and all the negative emotions.

Under Zhu Qingyou's guidance, the progress was smooth. Although she was not a professional, she was able to more easily enter Lin Shilu's heart and help her relieve her tense emotions.

"How do you feel now? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

"I felt my heart swell up and I couldn't speak. I couldn't control my tears from flowing out..."

Zhu Qingyou didn't know how to use words to guide her, so she could only say: "Clear your mind and take a deep breath. She will definitely come back to you. If she knew you were like this now, she would definitely be very worried, and so would I."

"Yeah." Lin Shilu cleared his mind and took a deep breath, and his depressed mood was relieved.

Outside the window, the sky has unknowingly changed from dusk to night.

Neither of them noticed how gorgeous the sunset was at dusk. During this period, sadness and helplessness surrounded them until night fell. With Zhu Qingyou's company, Lin Shilu's condition improved and he was no longer overwhelmed by negative emotions.

The sadness in Zhu Qingyou's heart sank again, and some of it was eliminated because the two of them shared the pressure, but it was not enough. However, as long as Lin Shilu's condition was stable, this pressure and negative emotions were nothing to Zhu Qingyou. Like Xi Ling, she had precise control over her emotions.

Lin Shilu is her anchor. As long as he is there, Zhu Qingyou will not collapse due to excessive pressure. Her ability to withstand pressure and endure is excellent.

The stars twinkle silently and the moonlight is gentle and peaceful.

Even the moonlight cannot relieve the sorrow in my heart; only talking and companionship can alleviate it.

"How do you feel now?"

The two of them hugged each other. Zhu Qingyou couldn't see the expression of the person in her arms, but could only hear Lin Shilu's muffled groans. She buried her face in Zhu Qingyou's neck and shoulders and said, "Don't move. Let me hold you for a while longer, okay?"

"Okay." After Zhu Qingyou finished speaking, a thought flashed through his mind: "It's broken, it's numb."

The two of them maintained the hugging position for several hours without moving much, it would be strange if they didn't feel numb.

Now Zhu Qingyou had no feeling in her lower body, and her hands were numb and sore, but she couldn't move. Lin Shilu leaned most of his body on her, feeling pain and happiness at the same time. At least her emotions were stable!

She felt that she could still hold on mentally; her body was falling backwards instinctively.

Secretly control the spiritual energy to flow through the meridians, and the feeling of soreness and swelling will increase. When the spiritual energy completes a cycle in the meridians, the numbness will disappear and control over the body will be restored.

The disadvantage is that Zhu Qingyou's expression is particularly ferocious now. The circulation of spiritual energy can dispel the feeling of numbness at this moment, but the problem is that the feeling of soreness and pricking will be aggravated.

There was a knock on the door, but Lin Shilu was unaware of it. Zhu Qingyou did hear it, but she couldn't get up. She felt sore and numb, and it would take some time for her to recover.

Time goes back to N hours ago, when Zhu Qingyou discovered Lin Shilu's hidden anxiety and confusion, and went upstairs to find her.

Half an hour passed and there was no sign of anyone.

An hour passed and still no trace.

Two hours passed, and An Zhe'er downstairs began to murmur, taking a breath and analyzing: "Hiss, something is wrong! It's been almost two hours, and there is still no movement."

The perceptive ones, such as An Zhe'er, Hu Zifeng and Su Heng, have already turned their attention to the silent room upstairs, and a strange atmosphere begins to spread among them.

The dull ones, Siyuan, Qiye and Qingxuan, some didn't care at all, while others spoke frankly and inadvertently pushed the atmosphere to a climax.

"Why has my sister been upstairs for so long and there's still no movement?" Qingxuan asked in confusion, "It's almost time for dinner. She's the one who's in charge of cooking today. Siyuan, do you think we can still have dinner?"

"Then let's change someone to prepare dinner for everyone. I'll recommend myself!" Siyuan was playing auto chess with Qiye. Suddenly he heard Qingxuan's words and his invisible tail started wagging: "She cooked yesterday, but since she's not cooking today, let's change someone else, like me. I'll cook some of my specialties for everyone to taste."

Except for two people who were not allowed to enter the kitchen, the other six people set up a cooking schedule during Aunt Zhang's vacation, and changed shifts every Monday.

This week, Sister You is in charge of everyone's dinner. Others are responsible for cleaning up after dinner, and she only needs to cook.

The people responsible for lunch are Sanhua, Qiye and Qingxuan. Among the three, Qiye prepares the staple food, Huahua is responsible for the dishes, and Qingxuan helps because he is not very good at cooking.

Breakfast was prepared by Shaoshao and Siyuan.

Their breakfast that day started with porridge, fried dough sticks and steamed buns, which is also Shao Shao’s regular breakfast combination.

The lunch was very sumptuous, prepared by Huahua. The dishes were all his specialties, and he also prepared pastries for after the meal, including lotus cakes, flower cakes, chestnut cakes, cloud cakes, rice flower candies... His cooking skills were definitely not inferior to those of Zhiji and Linxiang.

As for dinner, it's not ready yet...

Qingxuan said helplessly: "The key is with my sister, what can you do with it? You can't even get in."

Siyuan: "Ah? Ah!"

"Shut up." Zhe Er couldn't stand it anymore.

Can't read the atmosphere?

She hasn't forgotten about the fragments. The sudden departure of Ling Qixian and Lin Ximing is undoubtedly a good start, which means that the fragments have returned to their bodies and everything is on the right track.

Then again, we don’t know when the next fragment will appear, and it’s possible that the two of them are discussing this matter upstairs.

The truth and the guesses cannot be said to be 80% accurate, but there are two or three points of guesses that are correct. However, the subsequent imagination of Zhe Er was too wild, which completely shifted the focus.

The two of them left suddenly, and Huahua and the others must have noticed it, and they would not miss this opportunity. In fact, the reason why they left suddenly must be related to Hu Zifeng.

The allies are all upstairs, and Zhe Er is isolated and helpless, so she must be extremely cautious. Of course, these are her personal thoughts.

She was not the only one who thought so. Looking at the message sent by the fragment, Hu Zifeng was also muttering in his heart, "Could it be that Ling Qixian's departure was related to Zhe Er? I originally wanted to..."

"Forget it. Since they've all left, all the arrangements we made before are useless. We might as well focus on other people."

Hu Zifeng's intuition told him that the matter was not over yet, and there would be many people like Ling Qixian and Lin Ximing who were eyeing the deer cub. Instead of targeting those who were about to leave, it would be better to target those who were about to show up.

Every practitioner's intuition is never biased, especially when it comes to themselves or things around them.

"Why don't we go upstairs and take a look? What if something happened?" Hu Zifeng decided to take the initiative. He gave an example: "It's not that there are no unlucky people who can fall in the room, and even four people can fall at once."

"Do you think the fawn will be unlucky?" Folded Ear refused.

Lin Shilu has nothing to do with bad luck.

After she said this, the two neutral people were also a little shaken. At Hu Zifeng's suggestion, Su Heng and Si Yuan from the same camp came online to help. They had only one goal, to go upstairs!

Qiye and Qingxuan were neutral and became the targets of being won over. With one more person's support, Zhe'er would have one less reason to dissuade and refute.

Three hours passed, and the people downstairs still hadn't reached a conclusion.

Cold sweat broke out on Zhe Er's forehead, and he shouted in his heart, but no one could hear him: "Reply to my message, I sent you a message before!"

While arguing with Huahua and the others, Zhe Er quietly prepared to use the terminal to make contact, but was discovered by Huahua. He could only call the two people upstairs in front of everyone, but unfortunately no one answered.

The reason for dissuasion is one point less. What does not answering the call mean? It means the probability of an accident has increased.

Finally, Zhe Er had to take out his most precious treasure to delay time, and made a final promise that they would go upstairs together to check in more than an hour.

She really was helpless. Huahua's rhetoric was too powerful and one person could not win against so many people.

The cat feels aggrieved and can't speak out its pain.

"Is there anyone who can hear my inner voice? Can you please pass on my current thoughts to those two heartless people upstairs? I'm hungry now, and I have to fight against so many people alone."

There are more than one way for ascetics to communicate. They can be communicated through spiritual awareness and spiritual connection, which are easy to detect. A more private way is spiritual connection. If you can sense the other party's fluctuations or have the other party's token, you can connect no matter how far away you are, which is equivalent to an encrypted call.

In addition, there are many inventions such as the sound transmission talisman, all of which can be chosen.

The problem is that once the barrier is opened, no one can find out what is going on inside, and trying to contact them by other means is simply a pipe dream.

Outside the window, the dark color invades the dusk and the night comes quietly.

Four hours passed and the promised deadline had arrived.

Seeing that he was about to be unable to stop the crowd, Zhe Er followed them upstairs, thinking about whether there was any way to delay time.

The time was too short and Zhe Er couldn't think of any good solution, so he could only pretend to be sick. But if he wasn't sick, he couldn't pretend to have a sudden illness, right?

Don't be ridiculous about trying to get away with it. Huahua is a cunning fox. It's basically impossible to get away with it in front of him. You can only...

She was about to go up the stairs and seemed to have lost her balance and was about to fall. She instinctively exclaimed, "Ouch!"

Huahua caught Zhe'er in time, not giving the other party any chance. He held An Zhe'er like he was helping an old man, and reminded him meaningfully: "Be careful, don't sprain your ankle."

The person walking in front stopped and looked back because the two people were making a lot of noise.

Zhe Er was in a dilemma at the moment, so she forced a smile and said, "Thank you so much!" But she really didn't sprain her ankle, everything was fine. If she was discovered, it would be all over.

Huahua prevented her from continuing to act up and kept a close eye on her.

After turning around, she approached the stairs. Huahua's eyes were fixed on her upper body, and a thought flashed through her mind: "There's a chance!"

My ankle bumped against the guardrail, leaving a few marks. I lowered my head and rubbed my ankle to check it, and took the opportunity to rub the skin red. It's not that I haven't thought about using the red medicine in my pocket, but I will definitely be discovered later.

With Huahua's constant support, Zhe'er decided to go all out and leaned towards him. Now Huahua really embraced Zhe'er.

"Hiss, but my foot still seems to hurt a little, maybe I sprained it just now. There is a medicine box downstairs, and I can't walk now, can you help me get it?"

It seemed that Zhe Er was leaning on Hua Hua, with Hua Hua holding her, but in fact, the two of them were competing secretly and restraining each other.

Zhe Er's acting skills came into play, with some small movements suggesting that his ankle was badly sprained. Si Yuan had never seen Zhe Er look so weak, and he really believed it, so he went downstairs and took out the medicine box.

Gang Siyuan was walking in front and knocked on the door twice. If this hadn't happened, he might have continued knocking.

Zhe Er said softly, "Please help me."

The leader was restrained by her, and the others also returned downstairs.

Hua Hua said gently: "It's not a problem. I have never found your problems troublesome or difficult."

"Really? Then..." Zhe Er took the opportunity to assign some insignificant but trivial matters to Hua Hua. He had already agreed and there was no possibility of regretting it.

"That's no problem. Is your foot badly injured?"

Both of them were holding a grudge in their hearts, and it just depended on who could disgust whom more.

This scene appeared differently to other people. This injury was nothing. It had been said before that the medical care in the Xuanmeng Realm was very advanced. It was rare to see Zhe'er looking so weak.

And Huahua looks so gentle, his tone is not usually so gentle.

Everyone was watching the show, temporarily forgetting the two people upstairs. Qi Ye suddenly had an idea to take a picture of the two people going downstairs, ready to show it to Lu Cub and the others later.

The two of them intentionally disgusted each other, so one acted more weak and the other acted more gentle. Unexpectedly, someone would suddenly record this moment and stab them in the back.

Zhe'er wanted to slow down her pace, and leaned most of her body on Huahua, walking very slowly.

Huahua saw that she was trying to delay time, and frowned, looking worried, "You are seriously injured, let me hold you."

Before he could finish, he picked him up horizontally, put his left hand on his shoulder and his right hand around his knees to secure him to prevent him from moving.

A flash of surprise passed through her mind, and the sudden feeling of imbalance almost made her want to take action, but she finally held back. The play had to go on, and the longer she could delay, the better.

Zhe Er now hopes that the two heartless people upstairs can see the message she sent and come down quickly to save her.

Folding his ears noticed from the corner of his eyes that the others looked like they had just eaten a big melon, and he probably wouldn't go upstairs for the time being, but he had to continue acting, otherwise...

But I really couldn't act out the blushing and heartbeat, so I could only shrink my head into Huahua's arms and pretend to be shy: "Then thank you for your help."

Huahua's body tensed up subconsciously, and the action of folding his ears reminded him of some not-so-nice memories. His previous experience as a model was truly a nightmare, and he was still frightened.

He comforted himself in his heart: "No, I have to hold it in and can't throw it away! Otherwise, she will get what she wants."

Just as Zhe'er wished, Huahua slowed down her pace, but she was put down on the sofa right in front of her.

Siyuan is good at sports. Compared with others, he knows a lot about injuries and falls, and so does Zhe'er.

Based on her statement and palpation, Siyuan judged: "The injury is not too serious, just rest for a few days. If you want to get better quickly, you can apply this bottle of special safflower oil. During this period, avoid excessive exercise to aggravate the injury of the foot."

He closed the medicine cabinet.

Zhu Qingyou came out and closed the door casually. She came down from upstairs, looking no different than before, except that she put on a deer calf coat, which completely covered the wrinkles and tear marks on her shirt.

"What happened?" Sister You wondered.

The photos that Qi Ye had taken earlier came in handy, and with the help of the pictures for explanation, the course of events and their outcome were completely revealed in less than a few minutes.

Except for the two parties who looked not in good condition, their skin seemed to be slightly green, and it seemed that they were very sick.

Zhu Qingyou came down from upstairs, and he had no excuse to go upstairs to check. The opportunity was lost. Zhe Er won, but he injured the enemy by a thousand and lost eight hundred of his own.

Huahua at least had an excuse to leave, and as soon as Zhe'er showed his intention to go back to his room, the others gathered around and wanted to help support him.

"It'll be OK if I have Sister You to help me." She had to continue pretending, tears streaming down her face, "I wouldn't have used this excuse if I had known, but fortunately it worked."

With the help of Sister You, Zhe Er successfully returned to the room.

After entering the room, she closed the door and opened the barrier, and began to recount what happened downstairs when Sister You was away. The main point was to prove that there was no affair between her and Huahua, to ensure her innocence and reputation, and to find out when the next fragment would appear.

Zhu Qingyou summarized in a few words what had happened in the room over the past few hours. She avoided the main point about what happened between Lucub and her, only saying that Lucub needed to rest now and not to go upstairs to disturb her. She did not mention Lucub's emotional problems at all.

She explained: "It is still uncertain when the next fragment will appear."

You can tell from Sister You's attitude that Zhe Er also avoided Lu Zi and emphasized, "There is really nothing going on between Hua Hua and me, and it's not like what they said. If Lu Zi heard the rumors between him and me, please prove my innocence."

Zhu Qingyou responded: "Okay."

Not long after she left, she returned to the Deer Cub's room to prevent a relapse.

The "fragment" in Xi Ling's name is a homonym of the name. Every name has this character, except Mao Bailing (Ling Ling), who is not really a "fragment".

It's really not a joke, it's sweet! Although I was stabbed half to death when I wrote it. The deer cubs' moods change, they hug each other for warmth, the name and personality of the next fragment have not been decided yet, the little sun or the cold beauty with a sense of brokenness. It looks like a little sun, but it's actually a big wolfdog because it's too tall.
