The two of them sat on the bed in the bedroom. Qin You lowered his head and looked at the agate ring lying in his palm.

His voice was a little low, "Why did you suddenly think of giving me this?"

Su Junxin tilted her head and looked at him with a smile, "Suddenly? When I first saw it today, I thought it was especially suitable for you. Later, I found out that the red onyx turned out to be the lucky thing of Capricorn. Qin You Say, is this a coincidence?"

He raised his eyes and glanced at her, then quickly withdrew his gaze, his eyelashes trembling slightly.

"Well, it's a coincidence...but it's too expensive."

"You don't want it?" She gestured to get it back, "If I don't want it, I'll get it back."

Qin You squeezed in his heart and clenched the agate ring subconsciously.

She smiled and took her hand back, "Look, you obviously like it very much."

He was speechless.

"Accept it." Su Junxin held his hand, folded his fingers and put the agate in his palm, "You have helped me so much, and I will give you a heart-warming gift, no matter what its value, it is worth it."

Qin You's gaze slid from her thin white fingertips to the skin between the two close to each other, her lips were pursed, and a moment of hesitation flashed in her eyes, "Junxin, in fact, I--"

However, before he could finish speaking, Su Junxin suddenly let go of him, stood up and walked to the bookshelf, somewhat surprised and said: "Qin You, do you like Joseph Conrad?"

He froze for a moment, and said, "I like to read his ocean adventure novels."

"Which one do you like best?"

""Heart of Darkness"."

Su Junxin’s gaze and fingers crossed the spine of the rows of books, stopped on one of the books, tapped his fingertips, and muttered: “'He is an impenetrable darkness. When I look at him , It’s almost like watching a figure lying under the cliff where the sun never sees from a cliff'...When I watched "Heart of Darkness" before, this sentence impressed me the most."

Qin You was startled slightly, "Why?"

She didn't answer, but turned to look at him, her gaze like a torch, as if she had the power to see through people's hearts, "Joseph Conrad also has a famous saying that I like very much.

"He said:'It is not necessary to attribute the evil to supernatural factors. Human beings themselves are sufficient to carry out every evil deed.'"

She paused, and suddenly changed her questioning tone: "Qin You, I have always believed that there are supernatural factors in this world, what do you think?"

Qin You hesitated for a moment, and looked at her quiet and smiling eyes from a few steps away, with a slightly suspended heart, and for the first time he had the tension of being seen through the disguise.

"Why are you asking me this suddenly?"

"I'm just curious. I didn't expect you to like the same writer as I, so I couldn't help but ask more." She looked confused, "What's the matter?"

As she spoke, she took a few steps forward, her eyes tightly closed like a cheetah.

Qin You's Adam's apple slipped quietly, watching her approaching step by step.

Her face was blocked in the shadows and it was difficult to discern her. She stopped in front of him, bent down, and put her arms on the edge of the bed on either side of his body.

The distance between the two was so close that she could hear her breath, her gaze slid from his eyes to his lips, and she spoke softly: "...is this question difficult to answer?"

Qin You's lips moved lightly, and his voice was slightly muted, "What kind of answer do you want to hear?"

She shook her head, "Don't speculate about my thoughts and reactions, I want to know what you think."

"If you mean monsters and ghosts by supernatural, then I think they all exist." He paused. "They exist in each of us. When our will is not strong enough, victory will belong to them. ."

Su Junxin kept this movement and stared at him for a while, with mixed emotions in her eyes.

After a while, she said, "Qin You, do you know ‘zug-zwang’?"

He shook his head.

"Zug-zwang, meaning'touch the net', a chess term, describes a situation in which a chess player realizes that he cannot avoid being defeated by the opponent's general, but has to move." Su Junxin raised the corner of her lips lightly, her eyes were unclear. "However, I prefer the translation of'reaching the killing net, forcing it to be inferior'."

After that, she straightened up and quickly scanned the clocks hanging on the wall.

"It's not early, I should go home."

Without the suppression of her powerful aura, Qin You blinked and sighed with imperceptible relief. Hearing this, he subconsciously grabbed her wrist and said, "Why don't you stay at my house for lunch today?"

She said: "I still have some personal affairs to be busy."

"Tao Tao will also want you to stay." Qin You's eyes rose slightly, and the angle when he looked at her from the bottom up made his eyes look very harmless and gentle. "He is a toy he treasures. They are all given to you, can't you even stay a little longer to accompany him to a meal?"

Su Junxin: "..."

Obviously knowing he did this on purpose, but she just didn't have much resistance to his pretending to be cute, so she had to say: "Well, I'll leave after dinner."

"Yeah! I'm going to call the nanny to prepare now!" He bent his eyes happily, put the agate ring into his pocket, and went downstairs in a hurry.

The smile on Su Junxin's face slowly faded until he watched his back disappear from the line of sight.

She looked back at the "Heart of Darkness" on the bookshelf, and a complicated light flashed under her eyes.

The three of them had dinner together at noon, and Han Taotao ran to Su Junxin again, pulling his slippers "puff puff," and hooked his finger at her.

"Sister Junxin, can you tell a story?"

Su Junxin nodded, "Do you want to hear the story?"

"Yeah! My uncle said that Sister Junxin will go home in the afternoon, and I won't see you after a nap, so before you go back, I want to hear you tell me a bedtime story, okay? "

She really had no reason to refuse such a Xiaozheng's request, so she touched his head and said, "Of course."

Su Junxin took Han Taotao's soft hand into the room, and Qin You helped him put on his pajamas and put him on the bed.

Han Taotao lay on the bed obediently, blinking his eyes lightly, "Uncle, you go out first, I only want sister Junxin to tell me the story."

Qin You was stunned when he heard the words, and then caressed his forehead helplessly, "I have forgotten my uncle when I have a beautiful sister. I am so ungrateful that I will not help you run away the monster if you are afraid in the evening."

Han Taotao blushed when he heard this, and turned his attention to Su Junxin.

Su Junxin couldn't help but help him carefully tuck the quilt, "Your uncle is teasing you."

"Then...that sister, do you really have a monster in my room?"

"Monster? Let me see." She thought for a while, bending down and looking at the bed, "Well-there is indeed one."

"Ah!" Han Taotao was so frightened that he hurriedly drilled into the quilt, "Sister, get rid of it!"

"Don't worry, with me, the monster dare not hurt you." Su Junxin glanced across his small desk, and suddenly had an idea.

She took a few pieces of blue cardboard, folded them into a small sword, and handed it to him, "Tao Tao, you take this."

"What's this for?"

"This is a weapon that all monsters in the world are afraid of. The monster hiding under the bed just now has been scared away, and it will never come back to scare you in the future."

Han Taotao's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Really?"

Su Junxin nodded firmly, "I promise!"

He hurriedly hugged the small sword into his arms, "Then I have to carry it every day!"

Su Junxin smiled and rubbed his head, "Then I want to start listening to the story now."

"it is good!"

Qin You gently withdrew from the room, leaning against the door and listening to Su Junxin's gentle and slow voice, the arc of the corners of his lips had not fallen.

Not long after, Su Junxin came out of the room and ran into his sight head on.

He smiled slightly, and asked softly: "Are you going to leave?"

She hummed.

"I'll take you home."

She shook her head and declined: "No, I still have some personal matters to deal with before I go back."

Qin You showed regret on his face, "Will you come to my house next time?"

Su Junxin glanced at Han Taotao, who had fallen asleep in the room, "Let's talk about it if you have time."

The two went downstairs together, and Qin You watched her get in the car and go away.

He stood at the door of the villa, watched her disappearing and walked for a while, then took out the agate ring from his pocket and squeezed it tightly in the palm of his hand.

Turning around, his face is no longer the gentle and indifferent, his brows are lightly frowned, his indifferent eyes are looking straight ahead, and his pale lips are almost stretched into a straight line.

On the third floor, Qin You knocked on the door and pushed it open.

The woman standing by the window turned her head back and saw that it was him. The slightly raised fox's eyes showed some surprise, "What happened?"

He did not answer, but went straight forward and spread his hands.

When he saw the agate ring lying in his palm, the wine glass in Su Tingbai's hand almost broke to the ground.

She stared at it blankly, her lips trembled imperceptibly, "Isn't this your token of love...Junxin gave it to you?"

"Yes." Qin You took it back again, "and she also asked me some questions today, seeming to be testing whether I know the power."

Su Ting Bai frowned, meditating for a moment, and said: "Her memory has awakened too quickly, Qin You, you shouldn't let her see those paintings today."

Qin You's eyes sank, "We can't wait for the next ten years. With Xiaoyou, Junxin won't have an accident."

"This is her world. Of course she won't have an accident. But have you ever thought that if you do too much, her subconscious will not be able to accept the information and mistake you for a foreign invader, you are very likely --"

"Die again?" he continued.

Su Tingbai tightened his lips and said nothing.

Qin You lowered his gaze, swept his gaze, took the ice cone placed on the side table, raised his hand and pierced his chest forcefully.

However, in the next instant, the ice cone that was still in his hand suddenly disappeared out of thin air, and then reappeared on the table.

The air was quiet for a moment, Su Tingbai looked at him, the expression on his face became a little subtle.

Qin You put down his hand and chuckled, "This time she won't let me die...so, I'm willing to take a gamble."

Even if I knew, I was already in danger of catching the net.

*

At the moment Qin You raised the ice cone, Su Junxin, who was leaning against the car window in a daze, suddenly felt her heart tighten, and subconsciously raised her hand to cover her chest.

Retracting her gaze, she let out a sigh of air, recalling what happened a few hours ago in her mind.

People’s first reaction is impossible to lie. Although Qin You’s mood swings when he saw the agate ring today were well concealed, Su Junxin’s ability to observe words and expressions is not bad. She immediately saw from it that he must know something about it. Information about that agate ring.

In addition, he deliberately failed to answer his own questions directly, and she had countless questions.

What did Qin You hide from himself? Does he already know the news of zombies and the coming of the end times?

There was a sudden chill from her fingertips, she lowered her eyes to meet Xiaoyou's curious gaze, and suddenly thought of it.

Since his rebirth, he has been in contact with Qin You most frequently, but he has never had any dreams related to his past, and even asked Xiaoyou several times to no avail.

If you say that you will only foresee before the superpower awakens completely, then suppose Qin You himself has already awakened...

She spread out her fingers, and the silver-blue electric light faintly drilled out of the fingertips.

If he is really a supernatural person, then find an opportunity to test it yourself, don't you know?

small theater.

In the taxi, Su Junxin looked at the little lightning in her hand, and cocked her mouth with a smirk.

In the Qin's villa, Qin You suddenly sneezed without warning.

Qin You: "???"

Qin You: "A sneeze shows that someone is thinking of you...Hey, it must be Junxin thinking of me, hehe!"
