Loving and being loved are never taken for granted. Mahiru Shiina still doesn't understand this. She is immersed in the false dream she created and refuses to wake up.

The warmth and care that Mahiru Shiina had always longed for did not exist from the very beginning.

No matter how hard she tried and persisted, her parents would not respond at all.Such blind pursuit of empty dreams will only lead to despair in the end.

That's when - she'll break.

Lin Qingluo actually didn't know the true meaning of love and being loved, but he was certain that Mahiru Shiina was wrong.

“After the chick leaves the nest, it’s time to embrace the world.”

"I know...I've always known it."

Shiina Mahiru opened her mouth as if she had lost the ability to breathe. Her eyes were opened to the limit, but there were only holes in her caramel-colored pupils.

In Lin Qingluo's eyes, the girl at this time seemed to have sunk into the deep sea, falling endlessly into the darkness, with her mind dead and ignorant.

So, he raised his hand, like a parent comforting a child, gently caressing the girl's head and touching her long flaxen hair.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter...as long as you don't lose your nobility, the whole world will be open to you."

"..."

Mahiru Shiina felt inexplicably reassured by Lin Qingluo's comfort. The girl raised her head slightly, and her vacant eyes gradually became colored.

The scene at this moment reminded Mahiru Shiina of the time in the police car: the young man who was bleeding and dying, trembling and trying his best to raise his arms in order to comfort her.

At that time, he didn't even have the strength to touch her hair like this, so he could only pat her on the top of her head twice as a farewell and a blessing.

Then, she watched in despair as he closed his eyelids and his raised palm suddenly collapsed.

"Lin Qingluo, why...are you desperately trying to save me?"

"Because at that time, your expression looked like you were about to cry."

Lin Qingluo had a smile on his face and narrowed his eyes quite proudly.Although he came into this world penniless, he could only be proud to say that in such a situation, even if it wasn't Mahiru Shiina, he would take action.

——He can be as humble as dust, but he can never be twisted like maggots.

"Is that so..."

When Shiina Mahiru heard this answer, she felt as if she was finally relieved, and breathed a long sigh of relief, with an unusually peaceful smile on her face.

"Lin Qingluo, thank you."

"Ok, I know"

Lin Qingluo pursed her lips, nodded slightly, and withdrew the palm that was stroking the girl's hair.

Shiina Mahiru sat quietly on the chair, looking out at the bright moonlight outside the window, and gradually returned to her usual self...

"Ding~! Shiina Mahiru's teaching stage has been upgraded to: LV.2 friend! The fledgling that has left the nest has fully fledged. She will embrace the world and roam in her own freedom."

Lin Qingluo looked at the system prompt that suddenly popped up. He never expected that he could improve Mahiru Shiina's teaching progress so easily.

To be honest, even Lin Qingluo himself felt that what he said was a bit abrupt, and even meant to be superficial.

However, his attempt was right. In this day, Shiina Mahiru experienced too many blows and stimulations. This is the point where her mind is most easily shaken and collapsed. If she misses this opportunity, it may be difficult for her to step forward again in the future. This step has been taken.

"This is... a meeting of fate."

Lin Qingluo relaxed with relief. He opened the [Teaching File] interface and saw the system's brief comments.

"Shiina Mahiru"

Teaching stage: LV.2 friends (rewards to be collected)

Progress note: Mahiru Shiina has been curled up in the shell of self-deception, and no one has ever come to wake her up.Today, your questioning shattered her illusions and made her finally understand that no matter how well she did, she could never regain her parents' love.

"..."

At this moment, Lin Qingluo had a profound understanding of what the butterfly effect was——

The night before yesterday, on his way to the convenience store, he saw a gangster pestering JK.At that time, Lin Qingluo's [Weekly Task I: Punishing Lawbreakers] had not yet been completed, so he made a sneak attack and beat up the gangster.

It turned out that this guy was so vindictive that he took his younger brother around to look for him the next day, and even accidentally entangled Mahiru Shiina, which changed Lin Qingluo's Emergency Mission III beyond recognition.

All of this can be regarded as a superposition of various accidents, but in a certain respect, it is also inevitable.

Because, from the moment Lin Qingluo came to this world, the firing pin of cause and effect shifted, the infinite chaotic entropy expanded again, and everything was different from before...

""Successfully received the teaching reward: 10 pieces of "Entangled Fate", free attribute points +10, free skill points +5!"

·[Free Attribute Points]: 24

·[Free skill points]: 22

·[Entangled Fate]: 20 pieces

·[Source Crystal]: 3840 (can be exchanged for 24 pieces of entangled fate)

"Haha~ Capital, class, domination, one day, I will destroy them all with my own hands..."

Lin Qingluo lay back and leaned his body against the propped up hospital bed. He was now like a squirrel filled with winter food, finally feeling a sense of security.

"Classmate Lin, what are you thinking about? You're laughing so disgustingly~"

Shiina Mahiru's attitude towards others has always been as gentle and polite as Yamato Nadeshiko, as if she was wearing an 'angel mask' and would not open her heart to anyone.

But at this moment, the girl let go of her burden for the first time, her tone was filled with teasing and teasing, and Lin Qingluo's response was perfect.

"I think about it...the moonlight is so beautiful~"

"Eh?!"

Shiina Mahiru was stunned for a moment, then her cheeks flushed. The girl clenched her pink fists with both hands and hit Lin Qingluo's shoulder 'hardly'.

"I'm going to hammer you to pieces! Physically, you're so bad that you can't get back up!"

"Hey! Don't do this! Don't do this! It's too light! It's too light! Use more strength~ I happen to be a little sore."

Lin Qingluo looked like he was itching all over and was in need of a good beating.This made Mahiru Shiina puff out her cheeks in anger and start blasting him like crazy.

But from beginning to end...the girl's fists had little strength.

Chapter 11: The missing dawn

In order to ease the atmosphere, Lin Qingluo deliberately showed a funny expression. Sensing his thoughts, Shiina Mahiru no longer maintained her 'angel-sama' persona, but instead raised her fist in an unusually 'ferocious' manner.

When the 'war' ended, Lin Qingluo lay leisurely on the hospital bed, looking very comfortable after being massaged.Instead, Shiina Mahiru sat tiredly on the chair, with a post-exercise blush on her fair cheeks.

"You are cheating!"

"Hey~ What's wrong with me? I'm an injured person, lying on the hospital bed all the time, letting you beat and bully me~"

Lin Qingluo tilted his head and looked at the caramel-eyed girl. Before he even noticed it, a smile appeared on his lips.

Compared to the perfect, doll-like 'Angel', Lin Qingluo preferred the real and natural person in front of her.

——After all, the smile that a girl reveals inadvertently is really beautiful.

"Classmate Lin, you are so cunning! When you are healed, I will hit you hard again!"

Mahiru Shiina clenched her fists viciously, trying to be more aggressive, but her fierce and cute look prevented Lin Qingluo from tensing up.

"Ha~hahaha~ Shiina-san, you are so...ouch!"

Because Lin Qingluo laughed so unscrupulously, he finally tore the wound on his side. His cheeks suddenly wrinkled, as if he was imitating the wrinkles of a steamed bun.

"Idiot~ He has received his retribution."

Although Mahiru Shiina said she was angry at Lin Qingluo, she still got up quickly and checked the blood seepage in the bandage.

After confirming that Lin Qingluo was fine, the girl sat down on the chair again, with a slightly contemptuous expression that was extremely cute.

After the two of them let go of their guard tacitly, the atmosphere between them finally became natural.

However, the girl did not ask for a week's leave to come to the hospital to take care of Lin Qingluo's affairs.

After all, in the eyes of the family, this kind of thing would ruin her reputation and be detrimental to her becoming a 'commodity' in the future.

Once that happens, Mahiru Shiina will only lose some freedom at most, but Lin Qingluo will probably lose his life.

Of course, all this is based on the fact that Shiina Mahiru is a predetermined 'marriage tool', just like her parents, who were forced to get married for the benefit of the family.

At this moment, Shiina Mahiru still had no way of knowing the answer to this question, but she didn't dare to gamble.

——In other words, she has been an 'angel doll' for too long and doesn't know where to go.

"Shiina-san, what time is it now?"

"It's six o'clock soon."

"It's almost dawn~"

"Ah."

"It's great...dawn is coming."

Lin Qingluo had been watching Mahiru Shiina, so he noticed the darkness in her expression, and also noticed the depression and hesitation in the girl's heart.

But Lin Qingluo didn't say anything to comfort her, or boast about Haikou's promises. He just stayed by her side quietly, waiting for the dawn with her...

"Shiina-san, in my memory, it has been many, many years since I had no one to watch the sunrise with me."

"Actually...me too."

"Really? But it must be my time."

"So sure?"

"Of course... I was lonely for too long in my last life."

Lin Qingluo's voice suddenly became very low, as if he was whispering or talking to himself.Shiina Mahiru didn't hear his words clearly, but she didn't ask...

Soon after, Shiina Mahiru got up and turned off the lights in the ward. The night outside the window became clearer. The two of them became quiet, and only the sound of slow breathing could be heard in the room.

However, dawn did not come as promised, and even the moonlight outside the window gradually disappeared, leaving only endless darkness——

"Shiina-san, what time is it now?"

"It's twenty past six."

"..."

Lin Qingluo finally clearly felt something was wrong. He raised his hand to open the system, checked the time, and then picked up his phone and took a look.

"There's no problem with the time. It should have dawned long ago, but now..."

"What's going on? Could it be that we met the legendary... Shenyin?"

Shiina Mahiru looked out the dark window, the fear slowly rising in her heart. She unconsciously leaned closer to Lin Qingluo, waiting for his explanation.

"Maybe. Urban legends are usually not groundless."

Lin Qingluo rolled up the quilt and held it in his arms with one hand. Then he put on his slippers and walked out of the hospital bed.

"No matter what happens, as long as I don't let you run away, you have to follow me closely, do you understand?"

"understand!"

After Shiina Mahiru was desperately saved by Lin Qingluo, she already had a lot of trust in him. At this moment, it was precisely because he was by her side that she was not so afraid.

"Classmate Lin, what should we... do now?"

"Turn on the lights."

Lin Qingluo glanced sideways at the girl, and after confirming that she could not detect anything strange in the room, he couldn't help but frown.

In Lin Qingluo's sight, gray-black mist like smoke was continuously pouring into the ward from the gap in the door. In just a few minutes, the floor of the room was already covered by this mist.

Shiina Mahiru couldn't see this at all. She followed Lin Qingluo's instructions and pressed the light switch, but nothing happened.

"Lin Qingluo, the light...is broken."

Shiina Mahiru suddenly felt a cold that penetrated deep into her bones. She shivered and shrank unconsciously.

At this time, she looked around the room again and found that the surrounding scene had become distorted and blurred, as if a thin curtain was covering her eyes.

"Classmate Lin, my eyes..."

"It's okay. There's nothing wrong with your eyes. Just go out and you'll be fine."

This was Lin Qingluo's second encounter with this situation, so he still maintained enough sense.
