Chapter 7: Everyone Is Not Living Well (Additional Update 20)
Late at night, Long Qinxin tossed and turned on the sofa, unable to fall asleep with peace of mind.
Today, she had brought back the salvation she yearned for. She had Lu Zhiyin’s person, but she still couldn’t fully settle down.
She was a little scared, afraid that Lu Zhiyin would leave her.
Long Qinxin, who had committed kidnapping, knew very well that her actions were unforgivable. Once Lu Zhiyin left her, she would never return, and she would never be able to touch her again.
“…”
Thinking of this, Long Qinxin abruptly sat up.
Outside, the rain was still falling, and the pattering sound of the rain made Long Qinxin uneasy.
“Sigh…”
She sighed. On a rainy night last time, she and Lu Zhiyin lay in the same bed, having sweet dreams. That beautiful scene made her miss it immensely.
Getting up from the sofa, she paced back and forth in the living room.
She turned on the living room light, and the bright light dispelled the darkness in the room.
Long Qinxin walked to the balcony and looked at the rain curtain outside through the floor-to-ceiling window.
After looking absentmindedly for a long time, Long Qinxin slowly walked to the bedroom door.
Pushing open the bedroom door, with the light from the living room shining in, Long Qinxin looked at Lu Zhiyin lying quietly on the bed.
She was still covered by that thin bedsheet, without a quilt, her shoulders trembling, she didn’t know if it was from the cold or a nightmare.
Long Qinxin thought, it must be a nightmare, right? After all, she had encountered such a terrible thing.
Lowering her head, Long Qinxin slowed her steps. She walked into the bedroom and carefully closed the door, leaving only a small gap.
With the faint light, she successfully reached the bedside.
Climbing onto the bed, Long Qinxin lay down beside Lu Zhiyin.
She carefully removed the gag and the collar around Lu Zhiyin’s neck.
Wiping away the saliva from the corner of Lu Zhiyin’s mouth, she looked at Lu Zhiyin, who was slightly frowning, and touched the girl’s forehead.
If she could, she wouldn’t want this, but if she didn’t, her Zhiyin would run away.
The image of Leng Qingqiu sitting on Lu Zhiyin flashed in her mind. The gasps and the slight sound of water in the video made her blush.
Long Qinxin knew what was happening.
If she were like Leng Qingqiu, Lu Zhiyin would probably bite her, right?
Feeling a bit unbalanced, Long Qinxin leaned over Lu Zhiyin and lightly kissed Lu Zhiyin’s lips.
She didn’t dare to use force, nor did she dare to go further, fearing she would wake Lu Zhiyin. Once she woke up, she wouldn’t be as well-behaved as she was now.
“…”
Raising her head, Long Qinxin was about to get off Lu Zhiyin when she saw Lu Zhiyin’s eyes, which were already open and red.
“What are you doing?”
After being thrown out of her dream by the deity, Lu Zhiyin slept very lightly. Moreover, she hadn’t eaten for a long time, and her stomach ached. When Long Qinxin removed her gag, she was already awake.
“… I wanted to do you, but I haven’t done anything yet.”
Upon noticing that Lu Zhiyin was awake, Long Qinxin’s original gentleness vanished. She got off Lu Zhiyin and roughly held her in her arms, hugging her tightly.
Lu Zhiyin’s indifferent gaze and tone made her extremely uncomfortable. She was somewhat annoyed with herself and also annoyed with this rainy night.
Rainy days always made people sentimental. If it weren’t for the rainy night, she wouldn’t have thought so much…
Like her, Lu Zhiyin was also a little tired of this rainy day.
Being hugged by Long Qinxin, she couldn’t fall asleep again, and she couldn’t break free, so she stared blankly at the dim ceiling.
“… So annoying…”
Annoyed by the rainy day, annoyed by the wicked deity, annoyed by this terrible world.
Long Qinxin heard Lu Zhiyin’s complaint, which made her feel even more distressed, and she held Lu Zhiyin tighter.
…
While Long Qinxin and Lu Zhiyin were embracing on the bed, Leng Qingqiu was hiding alone in a dark alley.
“…”
Leaning against the wall motionlessly, her feet were in mud soaked by water, and her clothes were completely wet from the rain. Her long hair was soaked and clung tightly to her.
The rain was still falling, constantly taking away Leng Qingqiu’s body heat.
She was gradually losing strength but still did not move.
Outside the alley, hurried footsteps gradually approached, and the beam of a flashlight illuminated the rain curtain. Even from a distance, Leng Qingqiu seemed to be able to see the small water droplets floating in the air.
The barking of police dogs reached her ears, and along with the barking, she also heard the noisy chatter of police officers.
The rain washed away the scent from Leng Qingqiu’s body, preventing the police dogs from tracking her. Despite this, when the police dogs and groups of police officers passed by the entrance of the alley, Leng Qingqiu’s heart was in her throat.
“Strange, where did that guy run off to?”
“I don’t know, it’s all because of this damned rain. But it doesn’t matter, he can’t escape this city anyway.”
“That’s true, but if someone else catches him, the year-end bonus won’t belong to us…”
The voices and footsteps gradually receded. As these sounds completely disappeared, Leng Qingqiu’s worried heart relaxed.
“… Luckily, they’re all idiots.”
Ignoring whether it was clean or not, Leng Qingqiu sat down in the mud on the ground.
Today, a group of police officers came to her door, bringing police dogs and wanted posters. Through the peephole, she recognized the police officers and the wanted posters in their hands.
Her face was on the wanted poster.
If she hadn’t looked through the peephole beforehand and opened the door rashly, she would have been arrested.
Before the police violently opened the door, Leng Qingqiu escaped through the window.
Her route changed countless times, through sewers, rooftops, and various hidden alleys. She wandered for an unknown amount of time before finally shaking off those annoying people.
If it weren’t for the rain affecting the police dogs’ sense of smell, Leng Qingqiu felt she would likely not have escaped.
“Sigh…”
She sighed. Leng Qingqiu knew long ago that she would eventually attract the attention of the police.
She had killed too many people, and there were bound to be some clues left behind when she handled the crime scenes.
She didn’t suspect Lu Zhiyin of informing them. Her childhood friend was very timid and incapable of doing such a thing. Moreover, they were accomplices.
Even though she had forced her to become an accomplice, even if she were caught, she would probably be innocent.
It had been a terrible day. Leng Qingqiu stood up unsteadily, supporting herself against the wall as she left.
She had to find a place to go quickly, otherwise, even if she escaped the police, hypothermia would kill her.
…
While Leng Qingqiu was looking for a place to go, Qin An was in her apartment, standing on the balcony looking at the rain outside.
On the coffee table were the leftover broths from several bowls of instant noodles.
Her life had not been smooth recently. Ever since she abandoned that little brat and left on her own, her father had stopped her allowance and frozen all her bank cards, telling her to apologize to that little brat.
“Something like this… how is it possible to do it.”
Supporting her forehead, Qin An threw herself onto the sofa.
The living room was filled with the aroma of instant noodle flavoring. She had been eating instant noodles recently, and Qin An now felt like vomiting at the smell.
The sound of rain outside was also too noisy, and she couldn’t sleep.
Or rather, she hadn’t been able to sleep recently, and she had to stay up late to barely fall asleep.
The pressure from money had made her want to bow to her father more than once, but her stubbornness had stopped her thoughts.
She had no money herself, and the underlings at school couldn’t get any benefits from her, so they gradually stopped following her.
Because of her tarnished reputation, except for her underlings, most people dared not communicate with her.
at school, she had become a lone boat, with no one to talk to.
The various pressures made her somewhat collapse.
“If only that guy were still at school.”
She thought of that crippled girl named Lu Zhiyin, one of the few people Qin An could talk to… Well, although that guy mostly said begging for mercy words.
She wanted to see Lu Zhiyin, wanted to vent all her pressure on her, and wanted to return to her former relaxed state.
She had tried to find others at school as substitutes for relieving stress, but most of them were not as interesting as Lu Zhiyin.
