Chapter 3 You Let Nightmares Entangle You
At this moment, Qin Liu had shed her previous sickly appearance, and her entire person seemed a lot more lively.
She descended from the air and her feet touched the ground. The smile on her face made her look so spirited and cute.
Liu Haoyu looked at this young girl and he also reached out to hold her hand, saying.
“Welcome back.”
“I’ll go buy ingredients for dinner first. You two chat slowly.”
Deng Xiaolin felt like she was glowing, so she decided to leave this place of trouble.
After she left, Liu Haoyu sat on the sofa, while Qin Liu leaned against his shoulder.
Compared to before, Qin Liu, after recovering her memories, had clearly let go of many past grievances.
“Have your memories all returned?”
“Basically about seventy to eighty percent have returned…” Qin Liu said leisurely, “I never expected that I would be an old woman who is almost sixty years old.”
“Your age is based on your ID card, and your real age isn’t sixty,” Liu Haoyu said a bit lazily at this moment, “And since your memories have returned, your strength should have recovered too, right?”
“That’s true, but with this fragile body of mine, if I continue to use my abilities, I might really die.”
Qin Liu was a little helpless. If it were before, she might have been able to help Liu Haoyu a little, but now… she was really not much different from a vase.
She could still fight, but after fighting once, she might die immediately.
“For me now, as long as I don’t have to use my abilities, I won’t. Although… if you are in danger, I will still pull you through.”
“But you’ll die then, won’t you?”
Liu Haoyu sighed and said.
“So, you should rely on me as much as possible, whether it’s about repairing your body or dealing with Gu Qianyang. Otherwise, if you die, then everything will be in vain.”
“How could that be?”
However, Qin Liu just nuzzled Liu Haoyu’s shoulder, her expression looking very serious as she said.
“If I die, I will definitely take you with me, because I am not willing to wait another few decades.”
Liu Haoyu looked at the girl leaning on his shoulder, unsure whether to laugh or cry.
“…You’re not joking.”
“No, no, no, I’m not joking,” Qin Liu emphasized again, “If you are in a dangerous situation, even if I die, I will definitely unhesitatingly eliminate the danger in front of you, and then drag you into the black coffin, to be a pair of ghost lovers.”
Compared to her previous confusion, the current Qin Liu looked very determined.
So determined that Liu Haoyu couldn’t help but be a little scared.
Come to think of it, Qin Liu had a bit of a yandere tendency…
However, Qin Liu seemed to be able to read Liu Haoyu’s thoughts, and said with a cold snort.
“Do you know how I’ve spent these decades?”
“To find you, I’ve flipped through the King of Hell’s book of life and death countless times.”
“I’ve searched the entire underworld and the human world inch by inch, yet I couldn’t even find a single hair of yours.”
“And you still want me to wait decades?”
“Don’t even think about it.”
Qin Liu’s words made Liu Haoyu feel a heavy burden for the first time, but it would be a lie to say he wasn’t happy.
Looking at Qin Liu’s extremely determined eyes, Liu Haoyu couldn’t help but feel a complex emotion surge within him.
Searching for nearly half a century, it was tough on her.
Thinking of this, he sighed softly, reached out to ruffle Qin Liu’s hair, and spoke with a hint of helplessness and pampering in his tone.
“You… I really don’t know what to do with you.”
Qin Liu narrowed her eyes, like a cat, and nuzzled the hand he extended. Even so, her tone remained very assertive.
“So, you’d better live well, don’t think about being a hero alone like before, otherwise…”
Her words paused, and the girl’s fingertips lightly traced Liu Haoyu’s neck. The cool touch made Liu Haoyu’s back stiffen.
“Otherwise, I really don’t mind pressing you into the black coffin with my own hands, to keep you by my side forever.”
“Hey, hey… this is considered a threat, right?”
Liu Haoyu chuckled dryly, feeling a tightness in his throat for some reason.
Ever since Qin Liu recovered her memory, her entire demeanor seemed to have changed, becoming much more mature.
But come to think of it, the emotionless Qin Liu might have been her true personality, and having personally witnessed his death once, how could she let him off so easily?
Decades of obsession would make even a normal person incredibly paranoid and stubborn.
“Think whatever you want,” Qin Liu withdrew her hand and leaned back on his shoulder, her voice as light as a warm breeze, “Anyway… this time, don’t even think about leaving me behind.”
As the sun gradually set, the distant lights outside the window began to twinkle on.
Liu Haoyu looked at the girl beside him, nodded, and said.
“Don’t worry, I definitely won’t this time.”
“Hmph…” Qin Liu raised her head, her eyes gazing at Liu Haoyu. She gently pulled down the corner of her clothes, revealing a mole like a gem on her chest to Liu Haoyu.
“Who am I?”
Facing the girl’s question, Liu Haoyu’s heart jolted. Memories of the past flooded back. The emotionless Qin Liu had done this more than once back then, but at that time, how could he have understood so much?
Thinking of this, Liu Haoyu nodded with a wry smile.
“Qin Liu.”
“It’s good that you know,” Qin Liu released her hand from her collar and said very seriously, “Liu Haoyu, you must remember, your life… is no longer just your own.”
“Think about your wife, think about the children you might have in the future.”
“If you really die, I will definitely press you into the black coffin and let you know what it means to be entangled by nightmares!”
Listening to Qin Liu’s words, Liu Haoyu chuckled in amusement and nodded.
“You’re really a bit overbearing…”
“You’re only realizing this now?” Qin Liu snorted, then bit Liu Haoyu’s neck and sucked hard, her muffled voice carrying a trace of imperceptible tremor.
“So, don’t be so reckless anymore.”
The autumn wind gusted into the room, and Liu Haoyu slowly tightened the arm around Qin Liu, sighing as he made his promise once again.
“Okay…”
However, perhaps due to the fatigue from time travel, although it was not yet six o’clock in the afternoon, sleepiness found Liu Haoyu. The man leaned against the sofa, closed his eyes, and prepared to take a nap.
But before he could fall asleep, he suddenly felt something straddle his lap.
Liu Haoyu opened his eyes in confusion, only to see Qin Liu lick her lips, a smile on her face, and gently wrap her arms around his neck.
And he felt her breath by his ear.
“Tired?”
“Then… let me help you relax.”
