"Yes."

"You are indeed a chatterbox."

Chapter 249 Stories from the Past

Qu Yunliu shook his head repeatedly, slowly stood up, and said softly,

"Perhaps it's just like what you said, this kind of concept, something so mysterious cannot have a standard answer."

“That kind of thing never suits me.”

Compared to my noncommittal, he became more interested in the girl's later story, so he couldn't help but look at Qu Yunliu and ask.

"And then, what happened to the girl?"

Qu Yunliu looked calm, his eyes moved over to me, paused on me for a moment, then moved elsewhere, and spoke softly in a calm tone.

"I told you, she's very beautiful."

"You should know very well what will happen to a beautiful girl in this era."

I was suddenly stunned and realized that I had asked a very stupid question.

"In fact, I have seen her in other bases. She is still the pretty girl I remember, wearing her favorite white dress."

"It's just that she looks a lot quieter than before, as quiet as a corpse. She didn't say anything when she saw me, she just kept looking at me."

I sighed, slowly stood up, looked at Qu Yunliu's face carefully, and asked softly.

"Did you do anything?"

Upon hearing this, Qu Yunliu looked at me, his delicate eyes and brows showing no joy or sadness. He was as quiet as a tranquil forest, deep and silent, hiding everything in darkness.

"Do you think I'm the kind of nice person who'd like to help others?"

Qu Yunliu asked me with a little self-mockery. I was silent for a moment. As he said, I couldn't imagine what Qu Yunliu would do for that girl.

In many people's impressions, he seems to have always been a gloomy, paranoid madman who doesn't care about anyone.

but……

I raised my eyebrows slightly, met Qu Yunliu's teasing gaze, and answered seriously.

"you will."

Qu Yunliu was startled when he heard this, and the teasing in his eyes disappeared as his brows relaxed little by little, replaced by sadness and loneliness that was no longer concealed.

Perhaps I am the only one in this world who knows that he will definitely save that girl.

To this day, I still remember Qu Yunliu, who was lying on the chair with a relieved smile in the last reincarnation, and who was Qu Yunliu who died quietly on the chair.

Perhaps, I will never understand what kind of person Qu Yunliu is.

After a long silence, Qu Yunliu took a deep breath again and said with a lonely look.

"I did try to do something. At that time, the Shield Stronghold was not yet a Shield Stronghold. I had never inhaled the pollen of the night-blooming cereus and was still an insignificant figure."

"But I thought that the people I was with were good people, so I told them that I wanted to take her back."

"They rejected me for a simple reason. At that time, the base was still a small, shabby place. We were still on someone else's territory and could not provoke them."

"This is actually the right thing to do. If it were me, I would do the same."

“They didn’t do anything wrong.”

Qu Yunliu rubbed his face with both hands. His pale fingers blocked his eyes so that he could not see anything clearly. His voice came out from between his fingers, still in that calm tone.

"In the end, I didn't do anything and couldn't even say a word to her."

"I thought... as long as I was alive... as long as I was still alive... one day I would be able to take her away from there."

"But unfortunately, there will never be such a day."

"At that time, she just looked at me and didn't say anything."

"Three months later, I went to the base again and heard the news of her death."

"She escaped from the base the same day we left. She ran in the direction we left, but she had no idea where I was."

"So, while being chased by the zombies and those people, she jumped into the lake and died there."

Hearing this, I sighed and finally felt that I understood what kind of person Qu Yunliu was.

His obsession and extremism were never achieved overnight. Instead, the departure of one person after another in his life made him a gloomy and crazy person.

His parents' divorce at a young age made him desire to stand out, while the death of the girl and the rejection of his peers at the time made him want to prove that he could do better than those peers.

He even let people in other strongholds know about the existence of the Shield Stronghold to attract others to come here. Although it was a scam, it was also the product of his twisted obsession.

"do you like her?"

I asked the question again, and Qu Yunliu put down his hands, turned his face and spoke softly.

"I never liked her, that's the only thing I'm sure of."

"But at the same time, I don't hate her. After all, who would hate someone who likes them?"

"I've always wanted to ask her why she likes me, but it seems like I'll never get the answer."

Qu Yunliu lowered his brows and said with a bit of helplessness and self-mockery.

"It's so strange, why am I suddenly telling you all this, when I can't even remember her name."

As he spoke, Qu Yunliu raised his head, with a bit of confusion in his eyes, and asked me softly.

"You said that everyone's answer is different, what about you?"

"What does that mysterious thing feel like to you?"

Hearing this, I was slightly distracted, and the image of Tongtong involuntarily appeared in my mind.

So, what is my answer?

"Sorry, I haven't found the answer yet."

I tried hard to recall everything I had experienced with Tongtong, slowly closed my eyes, and spoke slowly.

"I just feel comfortable with each other. Even if we don't talk, it doesn't feel weird."

"We just sat together, quietly, but I felt safe and comfortable."

Qu Yunliu frowned when he heard this, and scratched his ears with his fingers, saying.

"Don't talk about me anymore. I already have goose bumps all over my body."

Seeing this, I couldn't help laughing. How come Qu Yunliu is becoming more and more like a normal person?

Qu Yunliu looked up at the waning moon hanging in the night sky, then said to me.

"That's all for today. Go to bed early. I'll come back to you tomorrow if there's anything else."

I nodded as a response. After saying goodbye to Qu Yunliu briefly, I turned around and went back into the house.

There were no candles in the room and everything was shrouded in darkness, but in the moonlight I could make out a vague outline of a figure sitting on my bed.

After a moment, the black shadow slowly stood up, walked out of the darkness, and came to the moonlight at the door. It was Tan in the white dress. She walked to the door, glanced in the direction where Qu Yunliu left, and then said to me.

"I just listened to your conversation."

The corner of my mouth twitched when I heard that, and I couldn't help but speak.

"No, what's wrong with you? Why do you like to eavesdrop?"

The girl in the white dress ignored my complaints and continued talking to herself.

"I retrieved the memories of this body before it died. I can give the answer to that person's question and the answer to why that girl liked him."

My eyes flashed, I stepped forward and asked seriously.

"why?"

The girl in the white dress looked at the moonlight outside the door and spoke slowly.

“He makes people feel safe.”

Chapter 250 Qu Yunliu (I)

“He makes people feel safe.”

Hearing this, I lowered my head and my expression became a little complicated. After a moment, I raised my head again and said to the strange girl in the white dress with a smile.

“That’s a bit of an odd answer.”

"Although it's a little subtle for me, that girl must have had some interesting story with him."

As I spoke, I walked into the room and came to the table. There was a teapot on the table. I naturally picked up the teapot and wanted to pour a cup of tea.

The teapot was tilted, and a long line of water flowed out from the spout. The water was turbid and had a fishy smell of sand and dust.

I sighed. Ajie and the others were indeed not enthusiastic enough to prepare tea for me. Then I pulled out a chair, sat down, looked at the girl in white dress who was still standing outside the door, and spoke softly.

"Can you tell me that story?"

The girl in the white dress retracted her gaze, turned to look at me, raised her slender eyebrows slightly, and asked.

"Do you really want to hear it?"

I subconsciously wanted to deny it, but as soon as I started to move, I smiled bitterly, then nodded slightly and spoke sincerely to the girl in the white dress.

"Yes, I really want to know."

"I probably wouldn't be able to sleep if I didn't hear this story."

Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the girl in the white dress. She stepped into the room, sat back on the bed that belonged to me, and asked calmly.

"What's the reason?"

As if sensing my surprised gaze, the girl in the white dress added.

"In my extracted human memories, asking for reasons is a common thing, so I asked."

I sighed, thought for a moment, and then glanced at the white-haired girl sitting on the bed.

It has to be said that when Tan is parasitic on the human body, its every move is very similar to that of humans, but there are still obvious differences in some places.

For example, the imitation she is doing now.

I should have pointed this out, but the girl in the white dress's honesty left me a little dazed.

Perhaps I should be more honest.

When I thought of this, I pursed my lips and spoke out my true thoughts.

"There's no special reason. I just want to know more about this weird guy Qu Yunliu."

"learn?"

"Yes, I have always felt that Qu Yunliu is like a flower in the fog. Not only is he not real, but I also always feel that there is a great distance between him and me."

"I finally have a chance to get to know him, so I naturally don't want to miss it."

Hearing this, the girl in the white dress frowned slightly and held her chin with one hand, as if she was thinking about something. The lighting in the room was a little poor, and her little face looked hazy in the darkness.

After a moment, the girl in the white dress finally relaxed her brows and spoke slowly and softly.

"That's a good reason. I can tell you what happened between him and that girl."

Then, the girl in the white dress sat up straight and asked me seriously.

"In your eyes, what kind of person is Qu Yunliu?"

I blurted out without thinking.

"Insidious, suspicious, extreme, traumatized by his parents' divorce, and doesn't care about anyone as long as he can achieve his goals."

Hearing this, the girl in the white dress slowly shook her head, stretched out a pale finger, gently pointed it on her forehead, and spoke slowly.

"But this girl doesn't think so."

"In her eyes, Qu Yunliu is a very executive person. He is smart, cautious, and persistent. Although he has a not-so-good past, he never talks about it with others."

I was stunned for a moment, smacked my lips, and spoke softly.

"No, are you talking about the same person as me?"
