Seven years after my death, the male protagonist of the substitute novel was criticized

Chapter 108 The Past - Antarctica
Pei Yizhou thinks that Lin Lu’s love is never obvious.

Indeed, when talking about the development of their relationship, the most noteworthy thing is that Pei Yizhou fell madly in love with his own sister, and he was determined to get her.

If it is likened to a narrative essay, the cause, process, result and all the climax parts were all written by Pei Yizhou.

He loved her too hard, so hard that it was like two glass beads pressed together, with the risk of one of them flying out. So after they had been in a stable relationship, he started to become suspicious and unable to sleep or eat.

It’s the same situation as Pei Juan’s after marriage.

Is the reward for my efforts not enough? Anxiety.

She has given me so much tolerance, why doesn't she ask for it from me?

Can a love that is maintained by passion really last? Will she regret it one day? Fear.

Pei Yizhou would sometimes wake up in the middle of the night and could only fall asleep by staying by Lin Lu's bedside.

Lin Lu, on the other hand, continued to go to college as usual, occasionally going on dates, and when there were conflicts she would glare at him, quarrel with him and scold him. Just like other boys and girls in college, she lived this relationship in an ordinary and normal way.

It was as if a genetically mutated short-stemmed rice had appeared among the clusters of tall rice plants, with excellent resistance to lodging, firmly supporting Pei Yizhou's fragile thoughts as he tossed and turned.

If eating together doesn’t work, then hug. If hugging doesn’t work, then kiss.

When kissing didn't work, she used the "any card" she had ordered from "Lulu's Wish List" and instructed Pei Yizhou to bring a pillow to her room at night to sleep with her.

It was the Chinese Valentine's Day. As the night passed, the early summer sun shone on her sweaty back. Pei Yizhou was completely unaware and licked her earlobe, causing her chest to ache.

Lin Lu felt as if he was a piece of jerky baked by two suns.

This level of sweetness really made Pei Yizhou feel more at ease, but just like an addiction, as soon as there is a little physical contact, he will quickly cling to you and escalate the situation.

Sometimes when Lin Lu was half asleep, she would still think, if this was a special medicine, then its effect was probably gradually weakening because Pei Yizhou was pestering her more and more frequently.

While panting in the afterglow, he always held her tightly, as if he wanted to tie a knot in her body so that they could be connected together forever, and every time he failed, his face was gloomy.

One time he went too far and Lin Lu's whole body was horribly damaged. She was so angry that she slapped him with her backhand - the action was so light and soft that it only served to intimidate him.

"Get out! If you keep doing this, I won't be coming home next month!"

Pei Yizhou buried his head in her neck, and the three words "I'm sorry" became muscle memory.

"I'm just scared," he would say when he was showing weakness.

Lin Lu asked him what he was afraid of, but he didn't say.

On the anniversary of Pei's father and mother's death, they went to visit their graves. Pei Yizhou looked at the photo on the tombstone in silence for a long time. In the light of the lit red candle, he asked her: "Do you think I am as unbearable as my mother?"

They, mother and son, are like black holes, constantly seeking love but never being able to fill it.

Lin Lu looked at him, leaned over and kissed him on the lips.

"Is this what you're afraid of?"

Pei Yizhou hummed softly.

"Before the incident, they had a quarrel and my dad cursed my mom, saying that normal people would not like a psychopath like her, and your parents looked down on her. Your family is too normal, which makes them afraid to deal with you."

Before this, Lin Lu had never thought that being a person with a normal personality and mental health was a great thing.

She also never thought that her upright and ordinary love would make Pei Yizhou increasingly afraid of this relationship.

He tried everything to resist this fear.

Hugging, kissing, and having sex are not enough.

He took out the money he had saved for some time and secretly bought a pair of rings, and then planned to go traveling with Lin Lu for a while while she was on vacation.

There were three travel destinations given, including an aurora cabin in a small town abroad. Lin Lu chose Antarctica, saying he wanted to see diamond dust.

Because she guessed what Pei Yizhou was going to do, she cooperated and chose the most romantic spot.

Exchanging rings and proposing under the diamond dust is so meaningful.

Before setting off, Lin Lu excitedly asked Pei Yizhou to buy a lot of things, and specially chose the brightest orange color for winter clothes.

I also told him that this was the most easily visible rescue color. If they were unlucky enough to get into danger, wearing orange in the snow and ice would ensure that rescuers would see them at a glance.

Pei Yizhou didn't care about the orange or red color. He hooked her up and asked her to turn off the lights and go to bed. Before leaving, he lay in bed for two days until his bones were weak.

When she woke up in the morning, she still put on the clothes Pei Yizhou gave her and played with them like a doll.

"It's really bright, and your complexion is rejuvenated in a second. If you get lost, I can find you immediately."

"You are shameless."

"Well, I have no shame."

"...Anyway, you are shameless."

She didn't know what to curse.

Pei Yizhou laughed grimly and kissed her collarbone again and again.

Antarctica is in a warm winter in November, and many people travel here in groups.

The scientific expedition team's icebreaker advances into more dangerous areas, while the sightseeing team only operates in areas that have been explored.

When the diamond dust appeared, a group of people had been waiting for a long time and were almost frozen into popsicles by the wind and snow. They were like a group of stupid geese, with their heads looking up at the sky.

The ice crystals refracted the light and gradually moved together to form a spindle-shaped pattern. Then it slowly changed until it looked more and more like a time and space gate in a science fiction movie. The central area was too bright to look directly at.

The refracted light was too strong, ice crystals filled the sky, and visibility was strangely low.

Lin Lu wanted to grab Pei Yizhou's hand, but she slipped on the ice and fell accidentally.

"Lulu——"

The panicked cries sounded as if being carried by a car, with each word becoming farther away than the last.

When Lin Lu got up, there was no one around. She looked around in the vast snowfield, but there was no sign of Pei Yizhou anywhere.

It was a very ordinary moment. Apart from the appearance of diamond dust, there was nothing else worth remembering. But she was inexplicably lost in Antarctica.

She stumbled forward, searching and shouting, but there was no echo. In the vast world, the feeling of confusion and panic engulfed her like a biting cold wind.

After searching for a long time, Lin Lu's voice was almost hoarse. He stayed where he was and squatted like a mushroom, his confused mind thinking about the possibility of escaping from Antarctica. At this time, a figure fell in front of him.

"Here is a stray mushroom that has been blown silly." The man said jokingly to his fully armed companion behind him.

Lin Lu raised her head and saw the only thing exposed on his face was a pair of eyes, whose eyelashes were as long and curled as Pei Yizhou's.

Tears flowed uncontrollably.

"Who are you?" she asked, holding back her tears. "Can you help me get out of here? My brother is waiting for me outside."

"What do you mean outside? There's no one else here." The man wiped away her tears roughly, took off his windproof scarf, wrapped it around her three times, and stretched out two fingers from his black gloves and easily lifted it up. The plush edge covered the area below her nose bridge.

"My name is Duan Chengyu, come with me."

　I wish you all a happy New Year's Eve in advance! Happy New Year!
