Ghostly Eyes [Tomb Raiders]

Tong Jiu at that time, to be honest, was closer to Tong Mei's temperament, lazy and evil.The face was disguised, and a pair of obsidian earrings symbolizing the identity of the patriarch hung under the broken hair, emitting a gloomy glow.On the other hand, Li Qiu, when we first met, was not as calm and sophisticated as he is now, like a hedgehog erecting his whole body's arms in a panic, showing his sharp edge and full of flaws.

"Well, what are you doing here?" Tong Jiu asked with a smile.

The security guards all knew Tong Jiu's "face", and replied attentively: "This kid has been standing here for a long time, looking very suspicious. We are investigating him."

"He..." Tong Jiu blinked, "He is a guest of the Shang family, I know him." After saying that, he walked up to Li Qiu and asked, "Why are you here alone today? You didn't call the driver to pick you up, Look, what a misunderstanding there is."

Li Qiu didn't expect that this guy, whom he had never met before, would excuse himself as soon as he came up, and hurriedly responded with hesitation.With Tong Jiu as the guarantor, the security guards were naturally no longer embarrassed, and they left after asking a few words casually.

As soon as the security guards left, Li Qiu also turned around and left immediately, but Tong Jiu stopped him just two steps away.Tong Jiu tilted his head and smiled playfully: "Don't even say thank you, is this your attitude towards your savior?"

Li Qiu's eyes dodged, and he didn't dare to look directly at Ah Jiu: "The savior is too much, but it's just a favor, the security guard just now is respectful to Mr. Tong, I think you must be a big man with status, how can you care about these things. "

"Heh, you are not young but you are not young. If I hadn't seen you... well, forget it."

Li Qiu took a step back warily, he had heard that the current patriarch of the Tong family was cunning, cold-tempered, and extremely difficult to get along with, but when he saw him today, he took the initiative to lend a helping hand to him, which made people suspicious.

Tong Jiu chuckled: "Defensive posture? It seems that you already know who I am, and you are very afraid of me."

Li Qiu stared closely at the pair of black earrings: "You've never met me before, why did you help me?"

Tong Jiu smiled mysteriously and long, but he didn't answer Li Qiu's question, but waved his hands casually: "You better go, even if I come forward, those dedicated security guards will still report you as a suspicious person. Don’t get caught again, go home quickly.”

Li Qiu pursed his lips, he was about to leave, so naturally he wouldn't hesitate a little more at this juncture.The two passed by each other, and after walking more than ten meters away, Li Qiu turned around suddenly, and found that Tong Jiu was still standing where he was, looking at him with a smile from afar.

Seeing him stop, Tong Jiuyao waved his hand and urged him to leave.

"……thanks."

Li Qiu's heart felt hot, and he quickly looked away, but this murmured thank you didn't reach the other party's ears that night.

thank you.

+ + +

Li Qiu let go of Ah Jiu, walked alone to the intersection back then, stood still, and repeated the movements at that time.

"I was embarrassed by the security guard. You came forward to help me. That's how we met. Ah Jiu, do you still have any memories?"

Just when Li Qiu thought Ah Jiu would continue to remain silent, the person who had been speechless for several days made a hoarse and difficult voice for the first time.

"This is... where I fell in love with you."

On a lonely New Year's Eve, two people with different trajectories completed a fateful encounter on this street corner.

Before that night, Tong Jiu never thought that a guy like him would actually fall in love with someone, just for a silhouette, love at first sight, and love him for life.

There was no snow on New Year's Eve that year, and the lights of the city lit up the entire sky.Li Qiu stood just outside the lights of Wanjia, wrapped in a thin scarf, looking into the distance alone, forming a scene on the corner of the street.

Beautiful face, thin but straight figure, both fragile and deep, both restrained and anxious.Just one glance is unforgettable.

Tong Jiu touched his sudden heartbeat and smiled wryly. A person like him is even qualified to taste the taste of love.It's just that although the heartbeat is beautiful, it is too extravagant for him. As long as he is the head of the Tong family, this beautiful and graceful emotion will never be met in his whole life.

"Ajiu, you...you can talk now! You remember everything!?"

I have always been able to talk... Ah Jiu said silently, and at the same time opened her arms to catch Li Qiu who was rushing happily.

These days, because of Ah Jiu's aphasia, Li Qiu worried day and night, and even made the worst plan that Ah Jiu would never be able to recover.Now finally hearing the voice from Ah Jiu's mouth again, the big stone hanging in Li Qiu's heart can be regarded as falling to the ground, and he was overwhelmed with joy.

Ah Jiu enjoyed this warm hug to the fullest. Although the two had hugged countless times since they met Li Qiu, each time brought him a completely different experience, and he would never get bored.

"I remembered, I remembered everything... On the night before the Mid-Autumn Festival, I was downstairs in the apartment. I was worried when I saw that you took someone else for me, so I followed you to Shang's house and hid in the bushes . Later I saw you standing on this familiar street corner, I was stimulated, and all my memories were restored."

Li Qiu reluctantly separated from Ah Jiu, so the elder brother and the others found Ah Jiu unconscious in the bushes, it was because of his memory recovery.

"You scare me to death, you scare me to death..." Li Qiu gripped the corner of Ah Jiu's clothes tightly, facing this huge joy at first, he actually became worried about gains and losses. "You have no idea how anxious I am these days."

"You are my destined nemesis." Ajiu pressed her chin lightly against Li Qiu's forehead, and said hoarsely and gently: "The first time I saw you, I was taken away by half of my soul. Willing to risk my life and go through fire and water for you."

"You remember that I am..."

"Well, Shang Yanyu." All the memories, naturally including all kinds of experiences in Diannan Dou. In that life-and-death struggle, he discovered and pointed out Li Qiu's true identity.

"But it doesn't matter, whether you are Shang Yanyu or Li Qiu, you are the person I love the most in this life. No matter which identity or name you use, I don't care."

"Actually, my face is also fake," Li Qiu tugged at his face bitterly, "This face belongs to the real 'Li Qiu'."

"Then add one more, I don't care which face you use."

Li Qiu was amused by Ah Jiu, and hugged him for a long time speechless.But Ah Jiu's face soon showed a trace of worry, he waited patiently, and only said cautiously when Li Qiu left his warm embrace.

"One more thing, I also remembered."

"What? Say it."

"I didn't escape from the explosion of the Diannan Dou."

Li Qiu froze like an electric shock, and Ah Jiu continued: "Actually, I'm already dead, right?"

Those two words were like a thunderbolt from the blue, shaking Li Qiu unsteadily, Ah Jiu hugged him nervously, not causing the person in his arms to make any accidents or impulsiveness.

"No...no...you are not dead, Ah Jiu, you must remember wrong!"

"But I don't remember the feeling of death wrong."

Li Qiu suddenly said hysterically: "If I say no, then there is no! Don't scare yourself!"

"Ari!"

Li Qiu was shocked by this sound, and tears rolled down his face.

"Why did I make you cry again..." Ajiu sighed and stuffed the person into her arms, stroking Li Qiu's trembling back over and over again, feeling distressed: "If you don't want to say it, then listen to me Say, okay?"

"I don't doubt you. If you want me to live, just say one word, and I will crawl back desperately even if I go to hell. But I really can't lie to myself about many things. The healing power of wounds, the blood that is invulnerable to poison , and a strange amnesia... The Tong family doesn't have such a heaven-defying ability, and of course I don't have it either. These special physiques are all acquired after I lost my memory. You did it, right?"

Ah Jiu patted Li Qiu, and continued: "When the explosion happened, I accepted the fate of death, and exchanged my life for yours, and I never regretted it. It is understandable that you are alive, but I shouldn't be alive. "

"Resurrection from the dead... After recovering my memory, I have been thinking about this possibility. Although immortality has never been an unfamiliar concept to us tomb robbers, it is still a fantasy to realize it. I racked my brains, Thinking about what method you used to bring me back to life, after much deliberation, there is only the Longevity Screen."

Li Qiu buried his face on Ah Jiu's body, and clenched his fingers unconsciously.Ah Jiu wrapped Li Qiu's fist completely, and slowly felt relieved.

"Is it really the longevity screen? We found the yin side in Diannan Dou, and the yang side... the yang side, have you always carried it with you? The combination of yin and yang, the reversal of longevity, this only chance, you used it on me."

Ah Jiu didn't continue, because every time his memory came back, he would faintly hear that familiar and desperate cry.

——Don't die... Ah Jiu...

——Ah Jiu...I beg you...don't die...

It is Li Qiu who is crying at the edge of life and death, no wonder he is not afraid of the claws of death, but only afraid of Li Qiu's tears.

Ah Jiu's heart was in severe pain like bursting, and he leaned against the tree trunk, holding Li Qiu in his arms, and slowly sat down on the ground.

He couldn't imagine how, at the bottom of the tomb after the explosion, how Li Qiu would collapse and cry while hugging himself amidst the corpses everywhere, bearing the hopelessness and sorrow of life and death alone.

He didn't even expect that Li Qiu would use the longevity screen to exchange all of this.Changshengping Screen, the delusion that so many people dream of, the source of Shang Yanyu's life tragedy, was completely shattered at the bottom of that dark tomb, just to save the life of a mortal.

Tong Jiu was resurrected because of this, but the two longevity screens were completely destroyed. Li Qiu swallowed this huge secret by himself, and carried the heavy lies that cannot be told, and maintained the relationship with the Shang family until today.

Ah Jiu's throat moved bitterly: "Why are you so stupid..."

Li Qiu's eye circles were red: "I don't want you to die... no matter how much the price is, I will make you come back to life." After a pause, he continued: "Why did you risk your life to save me? You knew at the time— —”

"I know," Ah Jiu interrupted him, word by word: "That's why I did that."

Li Qiu stared at Ah Jiu obsessively, and finally lowered his head again: "This kind of thing will never happen again."

"Yes, listen to my daughter-in-law, there will be no next time, and I will never put you in danger again."

"You are poor, then why...why didn't you speak before?"

Ah Jiu just laughed and said nothing, and wiped away Li Qiu's tears with a tissue.Li Qiu gave him a powerless look: "Tell me, I'm asking you."

"Then I told you, don't laugh at me."

"Why are you laughing at you?"

Ah Jiu sighed deeply: "I won't talk about some terrible things. You just need to know that when I opened my eyes in the hospital and saw you standing in front of me, I thought it was a dream. I dare not speak. It was because I was afraid that once I opened my mouth, the dream would wake up and you would be gone. Later, I found out that it was not a dream, so I still didn’t open my mouth, because then you would worry about me, and I could take all your eyes as a matter of course.”

Li Qiu stared blankly at his lover who was close at hand. In his whole life, he had never been in love and confiscated a love letter, but he sincerely believed that the most romantic love words in the world were probably nothing more than this.

He is willing to be a mute for the rest of his life just because of the sentence "you will not be here when you wake up from the dream".

Li Qiu knew that he would never be able to respond to this affection in his life.

"You're a... real fool."

"You're stupid, I'm stupid, it's just right for a stupid pot to match a stupid cover." Ah Jiu kissed the top of Li Qiu's head, "Besides, I was alone in the first half of my life and had nothing. I can't give you anything except this feeling. You Don't despise me."

Li Qiu burst into tears and smiled: "My family relationship is messy. One day I will fight and the next day I will rob you, but you have never disliked me."

"You don't dislike that?"

"Don't dislike it, let's grow old together."

On the deserted street, the two sat under a tree and talked intimately, unaware of the passage of time.

When they finally packed up their emotions and entered the Shang residence hand in hand, they arrived two full hours later than the scheduled time.Shang Fei Jiebai waited for two hours, naturally he didn't have a good face, he hastily sent them a copy of Longzhu's information and documents, and drove them away with a smile on his face.

The author has something to say:

A group of little angels left, silently suffering from myocardial infarction Q_Q

I feel like I should write an extra episode of "Nights in Southern Dian" If you don't enter the original text, you can't describe Memories clearly, so let's give a complete one.

sort out the chronological order

1. The first time the two met was outside Shangzhai. Ah Jiu fell in love with Li Qiu at first sight, but Li Qiu was very afraid of the head of the Tong family.

2. The second meeting was Diannan Dou, Ah Jiu was the minion of the arresting organization, the two had a hostile relationship, Li Qiu was still afraid of the head of the Tong family.

3. When the explosion happened, Ah Jiu sacrificed his life to save Li Qiu. It wasn't until this time that Li Qiu realized that you like me?

3. Li Qiu rescued Ah Jiu, carried him out of the ruins, and sent him to Taihe Hospital. Half a year later... that was the beginning of the story. In terms of plot distribution:

Li Qiu: Organization line, Shang family line, tomb robbery line, emotion line.

Ah Jiu: Emotional line, emotional line, emotional line, emotional line.

So it’s normal for everyone to feel distressed... The full text will be over in about 3W. I hope the ending can bring the emotional plot back into balance. Thank you for never leaving >

PS: Ah Jiu's current condition is silent and sensitive, and it is still a postoperative sequelae of pupils, and it will gradually return to its original state.
