Seriously, let's run for our lives
Chapter 84 Illusion ①
【Jojo】
When Qiaoqiao opened her eyes, she found that she was lying on a big soft bed, beside her pillow was the teddy bear that she often slept with her arms around, and her freshly washed school uniform was draped on the bedside chair.
The curtains were not drawn properly, and the setting sun penetrated through the gaps, coating the room with a gentle light golden color.
She turned over abruptly and looked in surprise at the familiar floral quilt and the pair of fluffy rabbit ear slippers under her feet.
That's right, this is her former room. After doing the math, she has been away from home for almost a year and a half, and now, she has somehow returned.
Why?Didn't you just travel through the interstellar vortex?
She opened the door carefully, and saw that her mother and stepfather were at the dining table in the living room, and the food on the table was full of aromas.
Mother Qiao waved her hand and called softly, "Qiao Qiao is awake? Come and eat quickly. Mom made your favorite sweet and sour fish and pork ribs."
She approached step by step, with a hesitant look: "What's wrong with me?"
"You are sick and have a high fever, so you didn't go to class today and rested at home." Qiao's mother asked worriedly, "I have a fever, don't you remember? Is there any other discomfort?"
Qiao Qiao checked her mental state calmly, and made sure that there was no sign of illness at all, but she didn't say anything, just responded perfunctorily, pretending that nothing happened, and sat down to eat.
The stepfather moved the stool closer, touched her forehead with a big rough hand with a smile, and rubbed it twice intentionally: "Let me see, does the child still have the fever? It would be great if the fever subsides, such a smart brain, don't worry." Burnt out."
His slightly narrowed triangular eyes looked shrewd and cunning as always, and every word that came out of his mouth was hypocritical and greasy.
He was always like this, taking advantage of her without any disguise in the name of caring.
Qiao Qiao patted his hand away blankly, and put a chopsticks of pork ribs into his mouth instead: "It's delicious, mom's cooking is getting better and better."
Qiao's mother glanced at her stepfather quietly, making sure that the other party was not angry, and then calmed down, and responded in a soft voice: "Your father bought the fish and ribs himself, and they are the most expensive and the best."
"Oh."
The stepfather said: "As long as Qiao Qiao likes to eat, it doesn't matter how expensive it is."
What a happy family picture, if he didn't take the opportunity to put his hands on his lap again.
Qiao Qiao sneered in her heart, she switched to her left hand to hold the chopsticks, and stretched her other hand under the table, forcing her pointed nails into the skin of the back of her stepfather's hand.
The stepfather couldn't help but let out a low cry, and hurriedly raised his hand to check, and saw that the back of his hand had been scratched with red bloodstains, he was shocked: "...you!
Mother Qiao also panicked: "Qiao Qiao, what are you doing? How can you be so disrespectful to your father!"
In the past, Qiao Qiao would only feel wronged when she heard the words, or choose to swallow her anger. She knew that her mother could not protect herself. After all, in this chaotic society, even her mother had to rely on her stepfather to live, and she had no ability to resist.
But now, while understanding her mother, she also realized what she should do, just like when she ran away from home, be more decisive.
Regardless of the situation she was in at the moment, whether it was reality or a dream, there was no difference in what she wanted to insist on.
What is the meaning of existence of a brutal and wretched scum who is strong on the outside but does nothing on the inside?
"I respect him? How does this bastard deserve my respect?" She sneered, "Do I respect him for violently domesticating you every now and then, or for the disgusting thoughts he has towards me?"
"..." Mother Qiao was speechless for a moment.
Qiao Qiao stretched her chopsticks towards the plate of sweet and sour fish, but her stepfather firmly grasped her wrist halfway. She turned her head and met his incredulous gaze, which was somewhat vicious.
He said: "The little girl suddenly lost her temper, who taught her?"
"I'm not what I used to be, but you don't know it."
"Really? Then let Dad see, what's changed, breasts?"
Before he could finish speaking, Qiao Qiao put the plate of sweet and sour fish directly on his face, and the thick soup seeped into his collar, which also ignited the fear of Qiao's mother next to him.
"Jojo, don't..."
"Mom, you'd better stand away."
There have been many times when her stepfather was violent after drinking, and she could still hide in the school dormitory to avoid trouble, but occasionally when she came home and saw the bruises on her mother's body, she would feel resentful in her heart.The resentment was endless and impossible to resolve. It was not until she had gone through so much now that she realized that the method of resolving it was actually very simple.
In the pocket of the pajamas lay quietly the pencil sharpener that Liang Yi had drawn before. The handle of the knife was crooked and not very attractive, but the blade was very sharp.
This is enough.
One second before her stepfather's fist landed, she got up and rushed over, stabbing the pencil sharpener hard in his heart, and then spun a few inches deeper, without even bleeding a drop.
She gritted her teeth and watched him fall down stiffly with his eyes wide open, and he couldn't breathe for a moment.
"Mom." She didn't turn around to see her mother's expression at the moment, but only sighed with tears in her voice, "If I can return to Earth alive, I will definitely not choose to escape again, and I will protect you."
【Qin Shiyue】
Qin Shiyue sat in the coffee shop, maintaining the same posture for almost half an hour.
She didn't quite understand why she suddenly appeared here, wasn't she still eating cheese bread in the spaceship just now?
Could it be that behind the interstellar vortex is a space-time tunnel that can travel back to the earth?What about the others?
The coffee in the cup was completely cold, she added two more cubes of sugar to it with a blank expression, and stirred numbly.
After a while, a waiter came over and asked politely, "Do you need anything else, Miss?"
"No, I have no money."
"……what?"
She repeated lazily: "I have no money."
"Miss, you..."
"I'll settle the lady's bill, and I'll add two cups of Americano coffee and two creme brûlées, and bring them here together."
A clear and gentle male voice sounded behind him without any warning, echoing the light music played in the coffee shop, it sounded like the sound of nature at this moment.
Qin Shiyue looked back suddenly, and saw Liang Yi Yushu standing behind Linfeng, wearing a white shirt and jeans, the cleanest and simplest attire, but surprisingly handsome.
"Liang Yi! You, you also came back from time travel?"
Liang Yi sat down opposite her, and was slightly surprised when he heard the words: "Traveling? Miss Luna's speech is really interesting. Is this the new inspiration you recently broadcast?"
Qin Shiyue was slightly taken aback: "Live broadcast?"
"That's right, aren't you the most popular female anchor of Zhanyu.com, the 'Game Fairy' Luna?"
"...It's me, but don't you think it's strange that you're telling me this out of nowhere now?"
"What's so strange? This is exactly the purpose of my visit today." Liang Yi smiled slightly, "Miss Luna, have you ever heard of the name 'Yi Ye Qing Zhou'?"
She nodded in a trance: "Isn't it you? You are my number one fan on the list. I said it a long time ago."
"Because I fell in love with Miss Luna, a potential stock, I thought that one day, we might have a chance to cooperate."
"Cooperation...? What cooperation?"
Liang Yi elegantly stirred the coffee in the cup with a small spoon, his manner was impeccable, he looked like a pampered young master, and what he said next was indeed in line with his status.
"I plan to leave Liang's Group, set up a new studio independently, and sign a group of artists—if you want, you can be the first artist I sign, and will also become the most popular artist."
At this point, Qin Shiyue finally realized that the Liang Yi in front of her was not the Liang Yi she was familiar with. She might be falling into a strange dream and couldn't get out.
But she was still curious, and she wanted to ask for a definite answer.
"Why did you sign me?"
"Your appearance, talent and popularity are all things I value, including your game level, which is beyond the reach of ordinary female artists. You have excellent economic value."
"that's it?"
Liang Yi was slightly surprised: "Do you think I missed something?"
Qin Shiyue was silent for a long time, then smiled suddenly: "No, for a qualified businessman, it is enough to consider these things."
"But your tone tells me you're not happy with that."
"After all, I'm not interested in economic value, and I don't want to try to figure out the minds of you rich people."
Liang Yi pushed one of the caramel brulee towards her, his white and slender fingers set against the small white porcelain bowl inlaid with gold rims, which was particularly pleasing to the eye.He raised his eyes and stared at her with deep eyes.
"Is this a polite refusal, Miss Luna?"
"Yes."
"You didn't even listen to my generous offer."
"I don't need it." Qin Shiyue sighed, she took a closer look at his handsome face, and then turned her gaze out of the window, "Boss Liang, you may not believe it, I know someone with the same name as you A man with the same surname and looks exactly the same."
Liang Yi was thoughtful: "Excuse me for being abrupt, has he ever hurt you?"
"No, he likes me."
"...Is our topic a bit off?" Liang Yi frowned, "So Miss Luna means that she doesn't want to talk about the price with me, but wants to talk about feelings with me?"
Qin Shiyue touched her pocket, miraculously, the pocket knife Liang Yi drew for her was still there.
She pursed her lips and smiled, "Boss Liang misunderstood, you're not him, I don't have any thoughts about you—but let's forget about signing the contract, after all, I haven't played games for a long time."
Her main job now is to fight against aliens.
Liang Yi said in a deep voice: "Really don't think about it anymore? Such a rare opportunity."
"Then leave the opportunity to those who need it more."
Qin Shiyue got up to leave, she pushed open the door of the coffee shop, only to feel the white mist in her vision, which suddenly became unclear.
At this moment, she missed Liang Yi very much, his gentle and harmless smile when he looked at her, and his serious and focused eyes when he held the paintbrush.
The Liang Yi she was familiar with was a down-and-out rich second generation. He was slow-tempered, a little clumsy, and claimed to be a wandering painter.He never complained about losing everything he had, but he was happy with his fate and treated others with sincerity, showing the most kind and innocent appearance.
He is the only boy she likes.
When Qiaoqiao opened her eyes, she found that she was lying on a big soft bed, beside her pillow was the teddy bear that she often slept with her arms around, and her freshly washed school uniform was draped on the bedside chair.
The curtains were not drawn properly, and the setting sun penetrated through the gaps, coating the room with a gentle light golden color.
