you're kind of scary

I don't know if it's the illusion of Hong Jiaodong. Taking that night as the dividing line, Qiange's attitude towards him seemed a little cold before—even if he is as dull as him, he can still feel that Qiange is avoiding him. Simply put, it is to avoid Make physical contact with him.However, after that night, Qiange's attitude towards him returned to normal, even more intimate than usual.

Hong Jiaodong originally thought that she had done something unintentionally that made Qiange hate him, now that Qiange is angry, she will not avoid him, but thinking about it, she is not such a petty person, she is jealous, she will always tell him clearly.

Then this situation seems strange, especially when Hong Jiaodong finds out that Qiange is becoming more and more "lazy".

This kind of laziness does not refer to laziness, but the way she started to lose interest in everything. Even the usual favorite, giving them hell training, has become less interested, making others not used to it up.

"Qiange, what's the matter with you recently?" Li Ri came over and asked anxiously. To be honest, they didn't want to be trained by Qiange so that they couldn't even climb up. The situation is more important... maybe?

"What's wrong?" Qian Ge lay on the table and looked at Li Ri, covered her mouth and yawned.

"That's it!" Liri summoned up her courage and said, "Qiange, you've been lazy recently, isn't it weird?" Say, you guys want to go through a pre-provisional license test blitz, right? I don't mind at all!"

"Ahhh!" Ashdo was paying attention to the movement here, and rushed over after hearing the words, trying to drag Liri away, "No! That kind of assault training once is enough!"

"Didn't everyone improve recently in off-campus activities? I thought you guys wanted to take a break, so you didn't propose to continue training. I didn't expect you to take the initiative to strengthen training. I really..." Qian Ge clasped her hands, very happy Said, "I'm so touched! If that's the case, I'll go to Mr. Aizawa to apply..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Hong Jiao Dong covered her mouth.Hong Jiaodong nodded to the other students: "Don't worry about it." The students immediately cast grateful glances at Hong Jiaodong—if it wasn't for fear of being remembered by Qiange, they would rather give a thumbs up.

Anyway, it was lunch break time, Hong Jiaodong simply took people out of the classroom, went to the cafeteria to buy two simple lunch boxes, and took them outside to eat.Qian Ge didn't resist, took Hong's scorched hand, found a flower gallery, and found a clean place to sit down under the gallery.

Although it is a simple bento, it is still quite rich in terms of Xiongying's canteen level.

Qiange found his portable tableware from the terminal, first picked a piece of tamagoyaki and put it in his mouth, squinting his eyes happily while chewing: "Chef Hero is really amazing, I really should let the cafeteria of the affiliated university of the Space-Time Administration Come and ask me."

Seeing that she was satisfied with the meal, Hong Jiaodong smiled involuntarily, sat down next to her, and was about to take out the tableware in his terminal when Qiange picked up a piece of fried chicken, and brought it to his mouth with shining eyes: "ah--"

"I remember the last time you saw a scene where couples were feeding each other on TV, and you said it was so nasty?" Hong Jiao Dong didn't rush to eat, but asked like this.

Qian Ge's expression remained the same, and he even became more righteous: "That's because the male protagonist is not as handsome as you! You know that beauty is justice! A handsome person will make people happy no matter what they do!"

Hong Jiaodong couldn't help laughing, but still lowered his head cooperatively, bit the fried chicken on the tip of the chopsticks, chewed and ate it.Qian Ge didn't intend to keep feeding it, she was purely curious and wanted to experience it for herself, after one mouthful of feeding, she turned her attention to eating her portion, and put away the tableware after a while: "I'm full!"

"Have you been eating a bit less recently?" Hong Jiao Dong glanced at the amount left in the bento box. "And this little sausage, I remember you like it a lot? Don't you want to eat it?"

Qiange looked at the bento box with some pity, and shook his head resolutely: "Don't eat it!"

Hong Jiaodong sized her up a few times, stretched out his arms and hugged her into his arms, and took advantage of the situation to weigh her: "It's much lighter than before... You're not really losing weight, are you?"

"Why can you feel the change in weight just by weighing it like this!" Qiange slapped his hands away, but nestled into his arms, and half-lyed down comfortably with his back against his chest, "I'm full It's time to sleep!"

Even if he wanted to explain how he judged his weight, seeing Qiange like this, he didn't want to hear it, so Hong Jiaodong smiled, and deliberately leaned against the pillar of the flower gallery to make Qiange lie more comfortably: "You sleep Well, I'll call you after lunch break."

Qian Ge didn't answer, she closed her eyes and nodded slightly, as if she just fell asleep.

Hearing Qiange's breathing became longer, Hong Jiaodong gradually became sleepy, he clasped Qiange's right hand, and was thinking about taking a nap for himself, when the hand holding Qiange was suddenly empty, and suddenly reflexively Tighten your fingers.There was no feeling of holding something in the palm of his hand, and he was jolted, the sleepiness completely disappeared, and he subconsciously straightened his waist and lowered his head to look at Qiange's hand.Qiange's hand was still well placed in his palm, and the touch between his fingers was also very real, the warm fingers and soft skin, it seemed that the emptiness just now was just his illusion.

Hong Jiaodong stared at Qiange's hand for a long while, Qiange didn't wake up, but because the angle of his body tilted changed and he rubbed against his chest, instinctively coquettish, wanting to change to a comfortable sleeping position, Hong Jiaodong Only then leaned down again.

That shouldn't be an illusion, Hong Jiaodong thought silently, Qiange was already leaning in his arms, and most of his body weight was also on him, although he was the first to notice the suddenly empty palm, but now it is also vaguely I remember that the weight on my body was also reduced at that time.So, what's going on?

Because of this doubt, Hong Jiaodong's heart became heavy.He actually knew that there might be some reason for Qiange's recent "laziness", but he didn't want to think about it, so he didn't ask more, but now, it's okay not to ask, right?

At least this way, when something really happens...he won't be caught off guard. "So you are not afraid of being caught by Aizawa-sensei when you come to my room at night just to ask questions?" Chika finished a long sentence without panting, if you ignore the fact that her hands are pinned to the bed now The posture is quite imposing.

"What do you think I'm going to do?" Hong Jiaodong asked back.

I don't know if it's because of a nap at noon, but Qiange's spirit is not bad now, she seemed a little embarrassed when she heard Hong Jiaodong's words, but she quickly suppressed the shame, and said with a straight neck: "Whatever you want to ask, just say it!"

Seeing her brazen appearance, Hong Jiaodong wanted to laugh a little, but after thinking about it, it's more important to ask the business, besides, did he sneak into the girls' dormitory?Even if Aizawa usually turned a blind eye to his relationship with Chika, running here privately at this late hour is a complete violation of school rules, and he will definitely be punished if he is found out, so it's better to ask quickly.

"When I hugged you at noon today, I couldn't feel your hand for a moment." Hong Jiaodong said straight to the point, "Although this phenomenon appeared for a short time, I'm sure my feeling is right, you should know it is What's the matter?"

As soon as this question was asked, Qiange suddenly fell into silence, and his tone became more serious: "What happened?" the truth."

"What will happen after you tell the truth?" Hong Jiaodong let go of Qiange's hand and sat upright on the bed.He didn't rush to ask the truth, because he knew that Qiange couldn't hide something very serious from him for no reason. There must be her own reasons for doing so, and it might be for his consideration.That being the case, as an uninformed person, he shouldn't force her to question her.

Qiange scratched his hair, got up obediently, and sat opposite Hong Jiaodong: "Let's assume first... no, this kind of assumption is basically equivalent to telling the truth, let me first talk about the possible occurrence situation."

She paused for a moment and didn't explain immediately, but whispered: "Actually, I'm still hesitating whether to tell the truth or not. If this kind of thing keeps being kept secret, even if you can maintain the status quo now, it will only be more painful in the end."

Hearing what Qiange said, Hong Jiaodong's expression softened a bit: It's not that she doesn't want to tell the truth, but she's just hesitating whether her choice is correct, and she just doesn't want him to be hurt.He grabbed Qiange's hand: "Speak, I will listen carefully." Qiange nodded solemnly, but the next sentence directly shocked Hong Jiaodong: "My disappearance and your death have nothing to do with each other. So, right?" Even though Qiange's tone was very casual when he said this, Hong Jiaodong immediately understood that she wasn't trying to scare people.He grasped Qiange's hand tightly, and said in a heavy tone, "What's going on?"

The person in front of him didn't answer him immediately, but hesitated, and said slowly: "I'm infected with the virus."

She looked directly at Hong Jiaodong, and said in a light, dandelion-like voice: "The virus itself expands and proliferates by devouring data. In the ghost story I experienced before, the virus infected ghosts, and I inhaled it. The blood mist created by a large number of ghosts actually infected me with the virus."

"The task was so simple that time because the virus focused its energy on restricting my actions and lowering my defenses, which made it easier. The dispersion of body parts was just to delay time. It happened that I was in the last time In the mission ten years later, I consumed a lot of sense of existence, and I was infected with the virus before I could replenish it, and now... I am a little dangerous." Qian Ge said it calmly, but Hong Jiaodong felt his head buzzing: " Wait a minute, what's the matter with consuming the sense of presence?" Qian Ge then translated what he had said to Xingya back then, and said it to Hong Jiaodong again.

"That means you will disappear if your presence is too low, right?" Hong Jiaodong tried his best to keep calm.

"Yes, I was infected with the virus again before I had a good sense of presence." Qiange looked at Hong Jiaodong, "The virus and the executive are not compatible with each other. On the one hand, I am the executive, and the virus has been devouring me. , On the other hand, I was affected by the virus and wanted to devour you." As she spoke, she touched her throat subconsciously.

"After all, I am not from this world, so no matter how much the virus swallows it, it will only make 'Qiange' disappear from this world, and I can still live well-living in the real world and in other mission worlds. However, Jiao Dong, you are different, you are originally from this world, if I swallow you up, you will really be gone.”

Speaking of this, Qiange laughed, but there were tears in his eyes: "So, it's better for me to disappear from this world? At least in this way, we can still see each other in other worlds. But, even if I left this world, and there are other viruses, only by eradicating them all can you return to the Space-Time Administration, but I don't know how long it will take."

"I don't have that much time to wait for someone who I don't know if I can see you again. Let's just break up." Hong Jiaodong just looked at Qiange without speaking, until her tears fell uncontrollably: "Hey! I said Break up!" "The flow of time in the real world is slower than the world here." Hong Jiaodong finally spoke.

"Even if I have been here for several years, your side may only be a few months, or even a few weeks. Compared with the time you wait for me, it is obviously that I have to wait longer." He held out With both arms, I put the person in my arms and said softly, "You just don't want me to waste time waiting for you. I hope that even without you, I can find someone I like in my own world."

"It's a pity that I won't break up with you as you wished. How can I fall in love with others with your appearance?" When it came to the second half of the sentence, Hong Jiaodong couldn't help laughing.He slightly distanced himself from Qiange, kissed her eyes, then stared at her with gentle and straightforward eyes, and said with a smile: "When I get rid of the virus, I'll go find you, okay?"

Qiange took a deep breath, swallowed the choking, and said in a strong nasal voice, "Okay."
