Chapter 137: picked out, handcuffed, within range.

For two years, Xinzhi Gu's chest has been clogged with cotton wool. As a result of the long blockage, it has taken on the taste of blood, so that he sometimes felt a choking sweetness at the bottom of his throat.

Qiuyun Ding these words, is like throwing a match into the cotton wool, the whole chest burst into flames, burning him both pain and despair.

Just now, he spent several months in a dream that lasted three minutes, but ended with the death of Qiuyun Ding.

When he woke up and found that he was not in the supermarket warehouse where he usually woke up, he froze for about a quarter of an hour and remembered with difficulty that he had been driven to town by a truck "months ago".

The ...... truck has Qiuyun Ding in it.

In his ecstasy, he broke out of the room, pulled up Bin Sun who was sleeping on the sofa and asked Qiuyun Ding where he was.

Bin Sun was sleeping soundly when he was picked up from the warmth of the blanket, and was frightened, calling out, "Brother! Brother!"

Bin Sun screamed so harshly that Yan Sun thought it was his own chickens, but when he heard something wrong, he came out to check, and Bin Sun's face had turned white with fear and he jumped into his arms.

After easily figuring out what Xinzhi Gu was up to, Yan Sun drove him to the dormitory where Qiuyun Ding was staying, confused and uncomfortable.

But when he actually sat in front of Qiuyun Ding, the fire in Xinzhi Gu's heart grew colder and colder.

Qiuyun Ding didn't even look at him, put on his sweater and jacket, put on his leather gloves, and looked like he was planning to go out.

" Yun Qiu ......" repeatedly reminded himself that this is not a dream, but everything that will really happen, Xinzhi Gu no longer dare to be as aggressive as in the dream, a sentence in the mind a hundred times before daring to speak, "We Let's talk about it."

"Talk?"

Qiuyun Ding turned his back on him, and his words carried a bit of sarcasm: "Talk about your visit this time, when do you plan to make your move?"

If it were Xinzhi Gu, who had not suffered two years of nightmares, he would never have understood Qiuyun Ding's meaning.

During the two years, he often wondered what was the reason for his having an identical dream two years in a row.

If it was just a fantasy dream, why did it last for two years and the plot remained the same?

The only explanation is that it is not a dream, but an almost metaphysical punishment.

Xinzhi Gu has always believed that the dream was some kind of mystical foreshadowing of what would happen in the future.

But after meeting Qiuyun Ding and seeing his attitude, Xinzhi Gu had a very bad feeling:

...... What if, what if, everything he dreamed about was something that had already happened?

If he can have the same dream for two years, why can't Qiuyun Ding live again with the memories of his dream?

He tried his best to suppress his frenzied heartbeat and found a bench nearest to the door to sit down, both from the gesture of weakness, but also to ensure that Qiuyun Ding left in anger, he could pull him in time: "You still ...... remember?"

Qiuyun Ding took the thermos from the bed and slowly drank the hot water: "Do you expect me to forget?"

"I came back to life, and I always wanted to find a companion who, like me, remembered what had happened before." As Xinzhi Gu was dumbfounded, Qiuyun Ding put down his glass of water, "Only I didn't expect that this companion would be you."

Xinzhi Gu just found it hard to breathe: "Then why did you still come to the supermarket? You know very well that I am in ......"

"We have old humans passing through or landing in this town every day." Qiuyun Ding turned half his face, his eyes were smiling and cold, "I don't go looking for you, I'm just afraid you'll come to me yourself."

Xinzhi Gu's heart, which has always been cold and hard, was cut to the bone with a single sentence.

The previous Qiuyun Ding would never treat him like this ......

He gritted his teeth and said, "I have nothing to do with those new humans this time."

Qiuyun Ding looked like he had heard a funny joke: "Ha. 'This time.'"

Xinzhi Gu's mood was getting worse: "Don't you talk to me like that."

Even if he had done it before, he knew nothing about it in this life, and he could not tolerate Qiuyun Ding demanding things from him that had never happened.

Isn't it a good thing that all those people are clearly alive?

Qiuyun Ding looked at him and suddenly laughed.

"I just said it casually, I didn't think it would hurt you so badly, I'm sorry." Qiuyun Ding said, "In the future, I'll get a handle on it."

This phrase was repeated nearly four hundred times in Xinzhi Gu's dreams.

In the past, it was Xinzhi Gu who said this, but this time it was Qiuyun Ding.

Xinzhi Gu was struck by lightning and had a splitting headache, bending down and just shaking, unable to say a word.

Any word that had appeared in his dream became a demonic barrier that he simply could not listen to.

He was afraid that in the next second Qiuyun Ding would fall again from a high place, falling to pieces and decisively declaring himself dead.

"Don't you say this ......" Xinzhi Gu said weakly through clenched teeth, "Please."

Qiuyun Ding put down his glass of water, walked up to Xinzhi Gu, reached out and squeezed the back of his neck, forcing him to look up at himself.

The leather gloves rubbed together with a creaking sound, and Qiuyun Ding stood tall and examined Xinzhi Gu's eyes, his lips so pale that they had little color, and opened slightly: "This is not a begging attitude you have."

Xinzhi Gu was stunned at the same time, so easy to calm down the heart again wildly jumped up.

He had never seen Qiuyun Ding like this before, completely different from the person in his dream, but with an unusually moving and strange charm.

Xinzhi Gu tried his best to suppress his emotions and asked, "How do you want me to beg you. ...... How can I make it up to you? Whatever you want, I can give you."

Qiuyun Ding laughed and said, "No, I can't. I'm afraid of biting my hand when I take something from you."

He said, he let go of his hand, lightly pressed his chest, a little breathless frown, a slightly reproachful look at Xinzhi Gu, as if Xinzhi Gu had caused him discomfort.

Xinzhi Gu tried to grab Qiuyun Ding's hand, but Qiuyun Ding seemed to anticipate it, and gently pressed his wrist down and pulled it, allowing him to pull off the whole glove.

Underneath the dark gloves are the fingertips that are frozen white with contrasting colors.

Qiuyun Ding obediently stuffed his hands into his coat pocket, and inside the coat pocket there was a pocket pistol - the bump marks, look at the model is Browning.

Qiuyun Ding lowered his head and fiddled with the □ in his pocket for a moment, simply picking out his purpose directly: "I'm looking for you because I can't rest assured that you're out of my sight."

Qiuyun Ding tipped the □ in his pocket outward, "The range of this pistol is 50 meters. You can choose, either be killed by me now or stay within my range at all times in the future."

Xinzhi Gu only froze for a moment, and then a light of surprise flashed in his eyes.

...... He's willing to let himself stay?!

Noticing the change in his expression, Qiuyun Ding, as if guessing that he had chosen the latter, pushed the door open and walked out.

Before Xinzhi Gu could pull out his feet and go after him, Qiuyun Ding's explanation to Yan Sun came from outside.

His voice was as warm and inviting as he remembered, without the coldness of his conversation: "It's okay, don't worry. When I left the team I had some misunderstandings with the vice squad. ...... Well, my injury is also fine, boss, first downstairs to wait in the car, well do not rub ......"

Xinzhi Gu's face changed slightly, and malice could not help but rise from his heart.

But he had just walked out the door to meet Yan Sun, before he had any special expression, Qiuyun Ding, who had already walked six or seven steps away, turned back, raised his eyebrows slightly in a commanding manner, with a slight turn of his eyes, and his hand in the pocket of his coat was once again on his pistol, and used the muzzle of his gun to make the same angle and arc as the raised eyebrows.

...... follow up. Within range.

Xinzhi Gu's heart was tingling with excitement and sourness at the same time as his cold stare.

Qiuyun Ding also did not wait for him, lifted his feet and walked downstairs.

...... Xinzhi Gu's remorse value, in the long cold knot finally broke the ice, and the results are promising, from 0 straight up to 17.

Glancing at the datapad, Xiaochi Chi let out an imperceptible sigh of relief.

061 asked, "Do you really want to keep him?"

Xiaochi Chi said, "It's useful to keep."

For someone like Xinzhi Gu, his remorse value is not easy to swipe, nor can it be trusted.

Even though Xiaochi Chi knew in his heart that Xinzhi Gu's character would never ally himself with the new humans again after nearly four hundred nightmares, his presence was always a nuisance, and if it weren't for the mission, Xiaochi Chi would probably have left him idle until he died.

Hearing Xiaochi Chi's answer, 061 was still a bit uneasy: "It's fine to stay, but isn't your attitude towards him a bit too tough?"

Xiaochi Chi asked rhetorically, " For someone like Xinzhi Gu, can he understand why I hate him if I pose as a victim and condemn him?"

061 Thinking about it, I think so.

Xiaochi Chi has indeed chosen a good way to fight poison with poison.

The best way to deal with a crazy person whose thoughts are difficult to figure out is to be a little crazier than he is. This is the legendary chaotic fist to kill the teacher.

As for Xiaochi Chi himself, he has a clear plan for the future.

He will secure the entire town during the time it takes to take Xinzhi Gu's remorse value, monitor his every move, and shoot Xinzhi Gu as soon as something goes wrong.

The bottom line of his tolerance for Xinzhi Gu is that he must not harm anyone in the town.

As for what to do after you leave, let's leave it to the real Qiuyun Ding to decide.

What Xiaochi Chi can do is to take more initiative for Qiuyun Ding.

After he returns his body to Qiuyun Ding, whether he intends to kill Xinzhi Gu to end the danger, keep him as an available team member, drive him away, or even get back together with him, Qiuyun Ding's wishes are fulfilled.

Yan Sun drove Xiaochi Chi and Xinzhi Gu back to the Ding family.

Xinzhi Gu has been paying attention to Qiuyun Ding at the other end of the carriage, but Qiuyun Ding is not bothered to give him a look, occasionally glancing at him and not deliberately avoid, but as if he is not at all concerned, only as a piece of goods, and is preoccupied with a small comb to his boss combing hair.

It has become one of Xiaochi Chi's habits to take care of her boss's grooming every day.

The panther lay quietly on its side at his feet, allowing him to comb his fur, in the combing often static electricity generated, the panther is not restless, tame with tail coils hooked his arm, and from time to time to take the mouth gently touch the scar on his left ring finger, itching Xiaochi Chi gently inhale.

He buried his face between the soft fur on the panther's belly, gently gathered his hands around its streamlined waist muscles, and inhaled deeply.

The panther just lay backwards and let him play with himself, his gray-blue eyes focused on Xiaochi Chi.

Xinzhi Gu looked at them with a little envy and tried to talk to Xiaochi Chi: "What's its name?"

Before Xiaochi Chi could say anything, Yan Sun in the driver's seat said, "Boss."

Xiaochi Chi corrected: "Coal boss."

Yan Sun cried and laughed: "Team Ding, you really don't think this name is corny, huh?"

Xiaochi Chi cupped his boss's belly and rubbed it like a tickle: "It suits him."

Throughout, Xiaochi Chi did not have any direct conversations with Xinzhi Gu.

In the lurching and rocking of the truck, Xinzhi Gu gradually drifted off.

In the past two years, each dream he had was several months long, adding up to a hundred years that he had spent in the dream.

In the dream, Qiuyun Ding always kept his heart to himself, trusting, honest, never suspicious, always actively trying to bring him into the conversation with everyone, not letting him seem too self-absorbed and lonely.

But that kind of Qiuyun Ding, he no longer dare to see.

On the contrary, the Qiuyun Ding, which is now very different from the dream, can reassure him, but he can't stop his heart from sinking.

Noticing Xinzhi Gu's complex and even aggrieved eyes, 061 gradually understood.

Xiaochi Chi used nearly four hundred dream-making cards and put in a long line for two years to outperform a psychological war with a pervert.

So far, Xiaochi Chi has won the battle.

Xiaochi Chi took Xinzhi Gu back to the Ding family.

When she entered the house, Ding's mother was watering a tea plant that Xiaochi Chi had brought back from 300 kilometers away. Xiaochi Chi used a card that shielded her from pain, tiptoed up and wrapped her arms around Ding's mother's neck: "Sister Ding, watering the flowers. Where is the old Ding head?"

"Back? He went out for an early morning walk." Ding's mother turned around and saw Xinzhi Gu, and immediately snapped Xiaochi Chi's arm, "How old are you, still hugging around. This is ......"

"My former comrade, Xinzhi Gu ." Xiaochi Chi introduced with a calm expression, "I ran into him when I was out on a mission this time."

Xinzhi Gu nodded to Ding's mother, somewhat at a loss as to what to say.

More than once he envisioned a future with Qiuyun Ding, but the content was always him and Qiuyun Ding, no third party existed, not even a dog or cat could occupy their space.

So he was never prepared to deal with the Ding parents.

Ding's mother is more relaxed, a glance at him to know that he is an introverted child, immediately enthusiastic to open up: "Have you eaten? There's still some skinny pork congee in the pot ......"

Xiaochi Chi walked up to Xinzhi Gu and took him by the arm without saying a word: "He's not well and he's introverted, I'll send him to the guest room to rest, and I'll bring him food later."

Ding's mother has always understood her son's character, since he is his comrade, he will take good care of it, so she turned around and went to the kitchen to heat up the congee and rice.

Xinzhi Gu was pulled upstairs by Xiaochi Chi and brought into the guest room.

Once inside, Xiaochi Chi let go of his hand.

He was now wounded and had no intention of serving Xinzhi Gu. He instructed Xinzhi Gu to take out the bedding from the cupboard and leaned against the door again, watching him make up the bed mattress.

Both come from the military, and quickly taking care of a bed is already a basic skill.

Xinzhi Gu laid out the bedding and then said, "Pillows."

Xiaochi Chi : "In the cupboard."

Xinzhi Gu : "No."

Xiaochi Chi then went to the front of the cabinet to look at it.

As soon as he pulled open the cabinet, he realized something was wrong when he saw a pair of pillows lying quietly in a corner of the cabinet.

Xinzhi Gu wrapped his arms around him from behind and tried to kiss the back of his neck.

Xiaochi Chi reacted instantly, twisting his arm and taking several steps backwards, falling backwards onto the soft mattress with him.

Xinzhi Gu and Qiuyun Ding have been lovers for a hundred years in the dream, he just wanted to feel the real embrace and kiss, who thought he had not moved, he felt a cold right wrist, fixed his eyes to see, but found a handcuffs handcuffed his wrist.

In his slight daze, Xiaochi Chi had already rolled over and quickly handcuffed the other handcuff to the bedside rail.

Xinzhi Gu : "......"

Xiaochi Chi rolled over and sat up, protected the back of his neck, moved his neck, turned back over, cupped Xinzhi Gu's thin, slightly sunken cheeks with one hand, and repeated in a calm tone what he had just introduced to Ding's mother: "You are not well and are rather introverted. Don't just run around, rest more in bed."

When he said that, he took a handkerchief out of his pocket, wiped his fingers and headed out.

"...... Yun Qiu ."

Xinzhi Gu called him from the back.

Xiaochi Chi stopped dead in his tracks.

Xinzhi Gu looked at his back obsessively, "Thank you for being alive. Thank you for being willing to find me."

Xiaochi Chi ignored him and went straight out of the room.

Xinzhi Gu was handcuffed by Xiaochi Chi for a week, during which time food and water were brought to his bedside by Xiaochi Chi. He didn't seem to hate this life of detention, and even after Xiaochi Chi released his handcuffs and let him address his personal hygiene issues, he didn't overstep his bounds with Xiaochi Chi again.

In a week's time, their team would be off again in search of new supplies.

Xiaochi Chi's chest wound had healed considerably, and he informed Ding's father and mother of the time he was going out, but not Xinzhi Gu.

It was not until the morning of Xiaochi Chi's departure that Xinzhi Gu learned from Ding's mother, who had brought food to the room, that Qiuyun Ding had left home and was ready to go searching for supplies, with the official departure time being 9 a.m. and the meeting place being the parking lot at the east end of town.

He carefully hid the handcuffs with the quilt, thanked Ding's mother tamely, and only after sending her away did he lift the quilt and turn his gaze to the handcuffs that glittered silver in the early morning sunlight.

At the east end of town, heavy trucks carrying a convoy of people have slowly pulled out of the parking lot.

Lanlan Yan is telling jokes with Bin Sun, while Xiaochi Chi rests on his boss's stomach, pondering.

061 asked, "Wouldn't that be a little too risky?"

Xiaochi Chi tosses an apple up and catches it in his hand: "I want to see what he would do if he had his own space to move around."

Before he left, he put the key to the handcuffs in the first drawer of his bedside table, along with the book Xinzhi Gu used to read, so Xinzhi Gu could reach it at a moment's notice.

Xiaochi Chi is unlikely to believe his side of the story, and it is still unknown whether he has made a deal with the new humans or not.

He may stay put, or he may try to investigate the town in the meantime.

If it is the former, then Xiaochi Chi would rather let the mission fail than try to get rid of Xinzhi Gu.

In the middle of talking, the outside of the truck car against the right side suddenly sounded a muffled thud, as if someone jumped on the outside stirrups.

Lanlan Yan thought it was some young man playing with them and pulled back the pin from the inside to shoo him away, but when she saw the face, she didn't know what to say.

Xinzhi Gu stood on the outside stirrups, carrying his bag on one shoulder, his hair slightly wet, and took a step inside the carriage with a gasp.

Xiaochi Chi was also a little surprised and sat up to look at him.

Xiaochi Chi thought he had found the key, but when he looked down, he saw Xinzhi Gu's slightly red and swollen right thumb, and was momentarily speechless.

...... learned in the army that breaking your thumb out of its socket can break free of handcuffs.

It seems he didn't even waste his time looking for the key.

Xinzhi Gu sat down on his side, put down his backpack, and said, "You said it. Within range."
