Death Spiral [Infinite Flow]

Lian Qiao squatted in the flower bed for a long time, and finally regained his strength, and left the school staggeringly.

When he returned to the hotel, he met Little Apple head-on.Little Apple was shocked when he saw him, and hurried up to help him sit down, and asked, "What's wrong with you? You look so bad, and you're sweating profusely. Have a fever?"

She raised her hand to touch Lian Qiao's forehead, but Lian Qiao subconsciously patted her hand away, and said weakly, "Don't touch me."

"..." Little Apple's expression froze, embarrassing.

Lian Qiao couldn't control his emotions just because he was uncomfortable.Seeing Little Apple's embarrassing expression at this moment, she thought that she had good intentions, but suddenly felt a little embarrassed.After thinking about it, I don't know whether to apologize or not.

He vaguely felt that Little Apple had a crush on him.It's no wonder, after all, everyone was born and died together, and it is inevitable that there will be a drawbridge effect (Note).Moreover, both of them like games, and there is no obstacle in communication, and the game terms that pop up from time to time make each other feel very cordial.

It's even more rare to put it in a copy.When he was fighting hungry ghosts that time, he discovered that although he and Little Apple had never cooperated before, they had a natural tacit understanding.This is of course because of the game thinking of playing games for many years, but if others see it, it is inevitable to misunderstand.

What Lian Qiao is most afraid of is the misunderstanding of Liandong, so he has been deliberately keeping a distance from Little Apple these days.

However, at this time, Little Apple was just worried about him, wanting to see if he had a fever, and didn't intend to have physical contact with him.He slapped people's hands away like this, not only embarrassing them, but also making them sad.

She is a girl after all...

After a short hesitation, Lian Qiao still sighed and apologized: "I'm sorry, I..."

"It's okay." But Apple waved his hand and interrupted him, as if he didn't care about his rude behavior, "What's the matter with you? Where did you go just now?"

"..." Lian Qiao fell silent.

Little Apple: "It's something you can't talk about again? All right."

She has already fully understood the pissing nature of Lian Qiao Rendong, the dog and man. Anyway, she doesn't treat her as one of her own, and has to hide everything.But there is no way, after all, the two of them are a pair, and I am just a teammate who met by chance in the dungeon.It is also reasonable for people not to share clues with her.

So she stopped asking, but took two steps back and said, "Can you go upstairs by yourself?"

Their rooms are all on the second floor of the hotel.The hotel is small and there is no elevator.The receptionist didn't know where to go, Little Apple couldn't find anyone to help, and knew that Lian Qiao was very repulsed to have physical contact with her, so she had to step back and stand by.

"I'm fine, I just have a headache." Lian Qiao stood up with the armrest of the sofa, cold sweat dripped down his face, his whole body was shaking, and he was about to fall down again.

"Hey!" Little Apple subconsciously gave him a hand, and said helplessly, "Can you do it?!"

This time, Lian Qiao didn't push her away, but smiled wryly: "It's over, it's not good. Maybe you really have a fever?"

"Burn a fart, you didn't burn." Little Apple originally wanted to say that it was cold when I touched your forehead just now, but when he thought of his rejection of him, he felt a sting in his heart, and changed his words halfway, "...you did this I was sweating profusely, even if I had a fever, it has subsided."

Even Joe's face was pale and bloodless, and it was not an option to let him just sit in front of the hotel.In the end, it was Little Apple who helped him upstairs.As soon as he entered the room, Lian Qiao fell limply on the bed, as if he was sick.

Seeing his pity, Little Apple poured him a cup of hot water.Lian Qiao closed his eyes after saying thank you, as if he had no energy to do more.

Little Apple hesitated again and again, but still couldn't help asking: "Are you all right? Do you want me to call a doctor over to show you?"

There is a community hospital in the newly unlocked block.Thinking of this, Little Apple felt a little regretful. If he had known that he was so weak, he should have been dragged to the hospital just now.Now that everyone has been helped up by her, it will be another toss to get them down.Maybe I'll be disgusted by him...

Lian Qiao didn't speak, but slowly opened his eyes, looking at the ceiling in a daze.

Little Apple felt that being alone in the room with him made the atmosphere a bit weird.She didn't know what was wrong with her, she just didn't want to stay here any longer for no reason, so she said, "I'd better go and call the monk back. I'll have to help you go to the hospital later...or I'll go to the school Xu Rendong called back too?"

She turned her head and left, but Lian Qiao suddenly called out to her: "Wait, Little Apple."

"Why?" Little Apple's heart skipped a beat when he heard his name being called.

"..." Lian Qiao propped himself up, sat up slowly, pursed his lips, and said, "I...I have something, I am very entangled, and I can't decide. Can you...listen to me?"

Little Apple was taken aback.

Hey, is this the rhythm of heart-to-heart talk?

But shouldn't this kind of thing be discussed with their family Xu Rendong?

Little Apple changed her mind and understood.What he wants to talk about must be something that Xu Rendong cannot know.

They're both really weird.Xu Rendong has something to hide from Lian Qiao, and even Qiao has something hidden in his heart and dare not let Xu Rendong know.This love talk is so intriguing, is it interesting?

Little Apple curled her lips, feeling a little complicated, but she still pulled a chair to the side of the bed and said, "Tell me, what's the matter."

Lian Qiao smiled weakly, lowered his head and pulled out something from his neck: "Have you seen this key?"

Little Apple glanced at it, it was a simple brass key, and said casually: "Where did this come from? Why is it the same as a cosplay prop?"

"It's a hidden item I found in the first copy." Lian Qiao turned the back of the key and showed her the words engraved on it.

"Your name?" Little Apple subconsciously said, "Binding pickup?"

"No..." Lian Qiao frowned slightly, as if what he wanted to say was very messy, and he didn't know where to start.After a pause, he spoke again, "When we first got this key, none of us knew what it was for. It was engraved with my name on it, so it was always kept with me. Later, I gradually remembered It's..."

"Remember?" Little Apple sharply raised her eyes, "What do you mean by 'remember'?"

Lian Qiao smiled wryly: "I don't know. It's like... It's like... after working for many years, I suddenly remembered a text I memorized during the college entrance examination. It's almost the same feeling. I remembered something related to keys, such as ... Its usefulness, and its price."

Little Apple was surprised and said, "What is it for? Isn't it for unlocking?"

"It's for unlocking, but it has another purpose." Lian Qiao took a deep breath and said slowly, "It can help me clear the level."

Little Apple opened his eyes wide.

"How?" She gestured to open the door, "Should I just open the door and pass the level?"

"I don't know." Lian Qiao shook his head. "I can think of very few things. I only know that it is helpful for customs clearance, but I can't remember the specific effect."

"What's the price?"

"The price is..." He took another deep breath, "I will lose something very important."

"..."

Little Apple pondered for a moment, then asked, "You can't remember exactly what you will lose, can you?"

Lian Qiao nodded.

"I understand. No wonder you dare not discuss it with Xu Rendong." Little Apple smiled, and there was a hint of bitterness in that smile for some reason, "If using this key will harm you, Xu Rendong must not agree to use it. But now we are at a stalemate, more than half of the dungeon time limit has passed, but there are no clues in the elevators and buttons. Besides, this is your last dungeon, if you don’t use it at this time, you won’t have a chance to use it, right?”

"Smart." Lian Qiao smiled, "You really have a strong comprehension ability."

"You praise me at this time, but I can't be happy at all." Little Apple sighed, "So what do you mean? You want me to help you decide whether to use a key or not?"

Lian Qiao lowered his eyes and murmured: "You can't say that... This matter has been hidden in my heart for too long, maybe I just want to talk to someone..."

Little Apple snorted: "Then you shouldn't tell me. After all, the price of the key is 'you lose something', not me. If you ask me, I will let you use it. If the key is really If I can open the door on the spot, wouldn’t I make a lot of money? Even if I can’t pass the level directly, unlocking a life-saving prop or something is also very good. Isn’t it for nothing if you ask me? And you are not afraid that I will steal the key and use it yourself? "

"I am the only one who can use this key." Qiao Lian smiled, "Besides, you don't know how to do it."

"How can you be sure that I won't? You can trust my character so much?"

"Ah."

"why?"

"Because you are in a crisis, and you would rather protect him than hurt yourself. You are a good person. I believe in you."

"..."

Little Apple was caught off guard and was stuffed with dog food again, and this time the dog food was so bitter that it was hard to swallow.She gave a "bah", curled her lips and said, "All right."

"So..." Lian Qiao lowered his gaze, gently stroking his name on the brass key with his fingers, "Do you think I should use it?"

"Aren't you hurting me?" Little Apple sneered, "You are afraid that you can't bear the consequences by yourself, so you drag me on the back?"

Lian Qiao was taken aback for a moment, his eyes widened in surprise: "No, I'm not..."

"It's not a fart, you are." Little Apple said sharply, "You are afraid that something irreversible will happen to you after using the key, and that Xu Rendong will be sad when the time comes. But you are also afraid that you will be trapped in the dungeon and cannot get out. You You want to take a gamble but you don’t dare, so you let me make the decision for you? Lian Qiao, you are so ruthless, you can put the blame on me if something happens, because I let you... no , because I didn't stop you from using the key!"

Lian Qiao was stunned, and hurriedly denied: "No! I didn't think so!"

Little Apple sneered: "Even if you don't think so, the result will still be the same. If something happens to you, will Xu Rendong find you to settle accounts? Isn't he looking for me?!"

"He won't." Lian Qiao kept shaking his head, "He is not such a vexatious person!"

"Come on. You gay couple, you're in a relationship that's going to kill you, who knows what will happen to him then!" Little Apple pushed the chair away with a clatter, stood up, and said coldly, "I beg you not to involve me, I want to live a few more years!"

With that, she walked towards the door.Lian Qiao stared blankly at her back, not understanding why she was so angry all of a sudden.

"Oh, by the way." Little Apple stopped at the door without looking back, "Although you have already reported to me, you'd better not use the key secretly. Otherwise, even if you die, I will I won’t tell Xu Rendong the truth. I’ll just make up any lie to bury you, and make Xu Rendong sad to death alone. Don’t think that you can sacrifice yourself as the savior alone. It’s disgusting to hear!”

After she finished speaking, she slammed the door hard.

Lian Qiao: "?"

Lian Qiao didn't understand why her mood changed so much all of a sudden, she spoke in such a blunt manner, as if she had some blood feud with him.He was in a daze, but Little Apple turned back and kicked the door open with a slam.

"Are you still alive?" She was extremely irritable, as if a bandit descended viciously, "Are you going to the hospital or not!"

Lian Qiao: "...No, it's okay...You're welcome..."

"Oh!" Little Apple yelled forcefully, then slammed the door and left.

Lian Qiao: "..."

He stared at the door that was slammed repeatedly for a long time, and his heart suddenly warmed up.

What Lonicera said is right, Little Apple really...

He is a good man.

When Lonicera came back from school in the afternoon, Lian Qiao had almost recovered.He wanted to pretend that nothing happened, but he never expected that Little Apple would expose him as soon as he came up.

"Lian Qiao has a problem here." Little Apple pointed to his head.

Lonicera: "?"

Little Apple had a stinky expression, but she still told the day's events.

"What did you do during the day?" After Little Apple left, Liandong put down her schoolbag and walked to the bed.

"Uh..." Lian Qiao secretly slandered Little Apple, but fortunately she only said that she was unwell, and did not reveal the key.All of a sudden, Lian Qiao scratched his head and lied, "Just... I went to your school to peek at you, and then accidentally slipped on the flower bed and hit my head."

Liandong frowned, and leaned in front of him: "Let me see."

"It's all right, it's not broken." Of course, Lian Qiao couldn't make a wound out on the spot, so he could only continue to lie, "It's just a little dizzy, and it will be fine after coming back to sleep. Ahaha, it's a bit embarrassing, Little Apple is really Yes, I specifically told her not to say anything..."

"Really?" Liandong was a little skeptical.

"Really." Lian Qiao nodded desperately, trying to make his expression look sincere.

Liandong stared at him for a while, but couldn't find any clues, so he shook his head helplessly: "Why are you so careless."

"It's a guilty conscience." Lian Qiao said that he was a guilty conscience, but he was even more guilty in his heart.

"By the way, how did you get in this time?" Liandong asked curiously, "I've asked, this school doesn't have a small gate."

"Uh..." Lian Qiao blushed a little, but still honestly explained the matter of digging into a dog's hole.

Liandong couldn't help laughing when he heard this.After thinking for a while, he took out a school uniform jacket from his schoolbag and put it in Lian Qiao's hands.

"Tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon, I have a physical education class." He said, "When you come in and wear my school uniform, you won't be suspected."

"Huh?" Lian Qiao was a little surprised, subconsciously stroking Lonicera's school uniform with his fingers.At this time, Lonicera was already 16 years old, and her body, appearance and appearance were already close to that of an adult.The school uniform seemed to still carry his body temperature, which made Lian Qiao think about it all of a sudden, "Do you want me to accompany you to PE class?"

"Ah."

"why?"

Liandong smiled, her gaze slowly wandering over his lips.If there was a substance in that gaze, Lian Qiao had the illusion that he was being caressed by him.

"To pay back what I owe you."
