Ah Shuang.

Qin Lishuang.

Liang Shi once heard this name from Liang Xinzhou.

Liang Xinzhou asked her if she still remembered Qin Lishuang, and she took the initiative to confess that she had lost part of her memory.

The dream and reality are connected, the original owner is tied there and cannot move, and Qin Lishuang is allowed to paint. She is a talented artist and a lunatic.

In pursuit of the so-called ultimate sense of art, she was desperate, and even tortured the original owner for the broken and decadent feeling she wanted.

The original owner was also a lunatic, but in front of Qiu Zimin, he became a well-behaved person.

"Taming the Beast" is about that.

The beast can show its fangs anywhere, but it must bow its head in front of its master.

……

"Liang Shi." A familiar voice came, as if someone stretched out a hand and dragged her out of the deep sea, but the boundless darkness still seemed to swallow her up.

She couldn't open her eyes, and she couldn't tell whose voice it was. She only knew to walk where there was light.

But where is the light?

There is no light anywhere.

It was pitch black all around, you couldn't see your fingers, and there were noisy voices all around.

She couldn't hear anyone talking.

The wind whistled, and there was a light in the distance, and the faint light was flying all over the sky, and it was a beautiful firefly.

There is a moon in the sky, and there are also scattered stars.

Although the light is faint, it has a direction.

She heard someone shout: "Sister, sister."

She heard someone ask: "Sister, will you remember me in the future?"

"Sister, can we really escape?"

"Sister, don't cry, I won't cry either."

"..."

The voice was so familiar that she subconsciously wanted to catch something.

But slowly, even this sound disappeared, replaced by noise.

There were so many different voices, so many people talking, she didn't know who to listen to.

I don't know where I am staying.

The light in front of her disappeared, and her surroundings turned into a boundless deep sea again, and the icy sea water was about to swallow her up.

Even the last consciousness is slackening.

"Liang Shi!" There was tension in that cold voice, which instantly tightened her lax consciousness.

Then there was a blinding white.

Liang Shi finally opened his eyes, seeing a bright light, Xu Qingzhu squatted in front of her, looking anxious.

The other players stood not far away, looking at her tremblingly.

Behind Xu Qingzhu is a group of people who look like the person in charge of the secret room, and they are also trembling with fear.

The immersive secret room is mainly for young players, and what they are looking for is excitement. People with heart disease, coronary heart disease and other symptoms of stress disorder are not suitable for playing this kind of thing, and the store will not let the other party in, including them. Before coming in, they all signed an agreement to confirm that none of them had this type of disease.

Unexpectedly, Liang Shi fainted because of a single mission, and the group of people in charge were shocked.

Including the NPC in the single-player dungeon just now, the sister in red whose wig was ripped off by Liang Shi, lying on the ground and dragging Liang Shi's feet, and NPCs in fluorescent white, all stood there in a row, with worried faces, for fear that Liang Shi would come out. something.

I have already called 120, but I didn't expect Liang Shi to wake up.

After seeing her awake, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Liang Shi looked at Xu Qingzhu after scanning the crowd present, and subconsciously smiled at Xu Qingzhu.

Just slightly twitching the corner of his mouth, the whole person's condition is not good.

Xu Qingzhu suddenly hugged her and said in a low voice, "You scared me to death."

Liang Shi was caught off guard, hugged her back after a while, and patted her on the back lightly, "It's all right."

//

This game in the secret room was full of twists and turns.

It was only after Liang Shi went out that he found out that Xu Qingzhu broke the sixth level that even many secret room adventure bloggers hadn't broken by himself, and he used the king's solution.

The first solution is indeed to work together. After finding the communication tool, people from the two spaces exchange clues to solve it together.

The second solution is to open a new dungeon by one person, which is equivalent to exchanging three branches for clues to Liang Shi's dungeon, which is more cumbersome.

But there is another kingly solution, which is to skip the original logical steps and directly cross the three branches to get the clues, so that the teammates trapped in the dungeon mission can be rescued.

Xu Qingzhu is the king's solution, and he is 10 minutes faster than the well-known secret room explorer blogger who came to their place before, and the whole network called him the person who decrypted the boss.

……

When Liang Shi and Xu Qingzhu were about to leave, the manager of the escape room shop not only apologized to Liang Shi, but also asked Xu Qingzhu if he had any idea to take over a job and produce a new copy for their shop, the price can be negotiated.

Xu Qingzhu declined.

Liang Shi didn't expect that he could faint in a solo mission while playing a secret room, which was a bit embarrassing.

When she came out, she was still complaining to Xu Qingzhu, "Dream Castle, it's not dreamy at all, it might as well be called Nightmare Castle."

In fact, the things she experienced in the secret room made her a little uncomfortable.

The uncomfortable point is that I don't know how to do it at all.

Those chaotic memories came in one after another, scattered in several lines, no matter which one was picked out, it would make people sad.

But she didn't want Xu Qingzhu to be sad with her, and she didn't want to convey her low emotions, so she tried her best to act indifferent.

Even in order to cover up his depressed mood, he was more talkative than before.

It's just that Xu Qingzhu didn't give her this opportunity to talk well.

It was already night when I came out of the escape room. When I broke through the level, the time passed quickly, and six or seven hours had passed before I knew it.

It was dusk and the street lights on both sides of the road were on. It was already late autumn, and there were only a few stubborn yellow leaves left on the trees on both sides, which were crumbling on the nearby bare trees.

After Xu Qingzhu came out of the secret room shop, she was very quiet. Liang Shi teased her a few times, and she also smiled face-to-face, but the smile didn't reach her eyes, and she still looked cold.

It's like going back to when they first met.

No, it was when Liang Shi first wore it, Xu Qingzhu saw her as very indifferent.

But it was slightly different from that time, Xu Qingzhu's body was still approaching her subconsciously.

When the autumn wind blows, Xu Qingzhu will walk by her side, staying very close to her.

But when the gust of wind passed, Xu Qingzhu would keep a little distance from her again.

They didn't walk very far. They just walked from the escape room shop to the shopping mall diagonally opposite. Because the distance was short, it would be faster to walk there than to drive around.

During this short journey, Liang Shi's thoughts turned a thousand times.

When he was almost at the entrance of the shopping mall, Liang Shi suddenly reached out to grab Xu Qingzhu's wrist, and gently rubbed her wrist with his cold fingertips.

Xu Qingzhu raised his head slightly, his eyes were cold, "What's wrong?"

"What are we going to eat?" Liang Shi asked.

Xu Qingzhu shook his head: "I don't know."

The tone of the answer to the question was also very cold.

But Liang Shi didn't know where he had offended her.

Liang Shi didn't feel well. When those memories hit her, it was like throwing her into the same scene to experience it again. The things she was afraid of before are still scary now. Even if she is comforting herself psychologically, her body will have memories.

She was just suppressing it deliberately, and she didn't want to let that emotion play out.

But I don't know what happened to Xu Qingzhu.

After Liang Shi woke up there and she hugged Liang Shi in fear, Xu Qingzhu became very cold.

When leaving that store, Xu Qingzhu's attitude towards those shop assistants was even colder, it could even be called indifferent.

Liang Shi was silent for a moment, but still asked, "Are you angry?"

"No." Xu Qingzhu said.

"True or not?" Liang Shi pursed his lower lip, and said in a deep voice, "But you don't look like you are not angry now."

The atmosphere was suddenly silent.

Surrounded by people coming and going, occasionally passers-by would look at the two of them, but they just passed by.

The two stood not far from the entrance of the mall, their eyes facing each other.

After a long time, Xu Qingzhu slowed down and said, "I'm angry."

Liang Shi: "..."

Liang Shi has no experience in dealing with such things, and he doesn't know what Xu Qingzhu is angry about.

It's just that she simply couldn't stand the cold atmosphere, it was awkward, so she asked.

But what about after the question?

She doesn't know it herself.

So the silence spread again, but the surrounding area of ​​the mall was very noisy, with pedestrians passing by constantly, the road not far away was full of traffic, the sound of tires rolling over the ground, and even the top of the mall was playing advertisements in a loop.

In the advertisement is Yang Shuyan's face, endorsing a set of skin care products.

Yang Shuyan's face is a powerful advertisement.

The noise of the outside world set off the dead silence between the two of them, and no one spoke.

Liang Shi was a little inexplicably nervous, and subconsciously stroked Xu Qingzhu's wrist with his fingertips, round and round.

When Yang Shuyan's commercial on the LED screen above the mall ended, it turned into a popular star's MV.

When the restless prelude sounded, Xu Qingzhu said, "Why don't you ask me why I'm angry?"

Liang Shi: "..."

Liang Shi's thoughts were chaotic, and he only followed Xu Qingzhu at the moment.

"Then what are you angry about?" Liang Shi asked.

Xu Qingzhu broke away from her hand, looking even angrier.

Liang Shi was a little dazed, and suddenly became inarticulate.

Xu Qingzhu sniffed, and asked her after silence: "Do you have any tasks that you have to complete?"

Liang Shi: "?"

At that moment, her pupils constricted, and she was about to deny it, Xu Qingzhu said: "From not divorcing me at first, to you coming to the secret room with me, what drove you to do this?"

Liang Shi paused.

Xu Qingzhu's voice became more and more calm, "This is your business. If you don't want to say it, I won't ask, but you..."

When she said this, her voice choked up for a while, and there were crystal tears in her eyes, which were particularly dazzling under the refraction of the cold sun.

Liang Shi's heart suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

It's like biting an immature hawthorn, sour and astringent.

Especially Xu Qingzhu, after a choked pause, looked into her eyes and said, "Can you be nicer to yourself?"

It used to be, it still is.

Always think about how others are.

Obviously scared to death, but still keep going.

It is clear that the mood is very low, but he has to force himself to tell cold jokes.

"Do you know that your cold jokes are not funny." Having finished speaking, Xu Qingzhu's words poured out like a flood that opened the gate, "Your forced smile is ugly, just like I just perfunctory you same smile."

"I saw you smiling like that, just like you seeing me laughing like that." Xu Qingzhu's voice was cold, but a little hoarse.

When she said it, she was not condemning, but every word fell into Liang Shi's ears, like spring water flowing through her limbs and bones in summer, making her feel at a loss as to what to do.

I don't know what to do.

I really want to respond, but I don't know how to respond.

I want to say something to her, I want to subconsciously deny it, but I can't say it.

I was afraid that if I said it, it would make Xu Qingzhu even more angry.

Making Xu Qingzhu angry doesn't seem to be the most terrible thing. What is terrible is that Xu Qingzhu will be sad and sad.

Those beautiful eyes will shed tears.

Liang Shi pursed his lower lip, raised his hand, and wanted to reach out with his slender arm to wipe away the tears that were about to condense in Xu Qingzhu's pupils, but Xu Qingzhu took half a step back, her arm was hanging in the air.

It was only a few centimeters away from Xu Qingzhu's face, but it seemed so far away that he couldn't touch it.

Xu Qingzhu let out a breath, readjusted her voice, and said to her in a cold voice: "I didn't ask you to say anything to me, and I didn't ask you to do anything for me. Just be yourself, okay? Liang Shi .”

When Xu Qingzhu's cold voice called Liang Shi, the voice fell, with an indescribable tenderness.

It seems that when I was in bed this morning, it was raining outside, and there was only faint light in the house.

Xu Qingzhu shouted in her ear: "Teacher Liang."

Sometimes shouting fast, it is Liang Shi.

Liang Shi's fingers curled up and spread out.

The two standing in place were as beautiful as if they were taking pictorial photos. A withered yellow leaf on a nearby tree fell on Liang Shi's shoulders, and the branches were completely bare.

Xu Qingzhu glanced, took his hand out of his coat pocket, and quickly reached out and brushed off the fallen leaf on her clothes.

Seeing that she still didn't respond, I couldn't hold back my emotions, so I turned around and walked forward.

Xu Qingzhu was very angry.

She was angry with herself, why didn't she solve the riddle faster and find Liang Shi.

I was also angry with myself why I agreed to her to play the escape room, and even more angry that I knew it was a five-star horror dungeon before playing, but I still wanted to see Liang Shi get embarrassed and scared, so I went to play without Liang Shi knowing this copy.

She is also angry that Liang Shi never learns to be kind to herself, and always puts other people's needs and emotions first, but forgets that she is the one who needs love the most.

Since he was a child, Liang Shi said that he wanted to have a lot of love.

But now, she will only love others.

She is quiet, selfless, gentle, and tolerant, like warm mountain spring water, nourishing all things where it flows.

But I forgot to love myself.

Xu Qingzhu was wearing a blue woolen coat, dark blue jeans, and a pair of well-polished black knee-high boots with five-centimeter heels, making her look tall and thin.

It's just that in the autumn wind, her soft hair and the hem of her clothes were blown up, making her look desolate and lonely.

After sighing heavily, she turned and walked towards the entrance of the mall.

In Liang Shi's view, there is a feeling of hating iron but not steel, so he doesn't want to say more.

Liang Shi's hand dropped to his side, and Xu Qingzhu's words kept circulating in his mind.

——I didn't ask you to say anything to me, nor did I ask you to do anything for me, just be yourself.

"Be yourself."

How difficult are these five words.

People have always told her, you have to work hard to move forward, you have to set up a character, you have to be an actor that others like, you have to play a role that the audience likes, you have to show your best side .

Almost everyone is asking her to be perfect and to be someone other people like.

But it was the first time someone said——be yourself.

Most of the following words are - I come to love you.

Liang Shi's heart was filled with something, and it was completely soft.

After Xu Qingzhu took a few steps, when that sentence echoed in her mind for the third time, Liang Shi suddenly smiled.

She raised her feet and trotted, and caught up with Xu Qingzhu within a few strokes.

Grabbing Xu Qingzhu's forearm, Xu Qingzhu turned his head, his eyes still red.

Liang Shi opened his arms and hugged her tightly.

On the streets where people come and go, the roadside lights are dim and bright.

Liang Shi's head was buried in Xu Qingzhu's neck, and his voice was hoarse: "Xu Qingzhu."

Xu Qingzhu's hand curled up in his pocket a few times, but in the end he still didn't reach out, and just hummed, "Huh?"

"Don't be angry." Liang Shi said, "I was very sad just now."

With Xu Qingzhu's chin resting on her shoulder, he could still feel her hair, and he could also smell the fragrance of oranges in this world full of smoke and fire, which was the same shampoo as his own.

Liang Shi said: "If you ask me to coax you at this time, I will not be happy, and I will think you are making trouble for no reason."

Xu Qingzhu couldn't help reaching out and pinching her waist, and hummed softly: "I was quite unreasonable."

"How could it be?" Liang Shi smiled lowly, it was the first time since he came out of that shop that he smiled sincerely, his body was trembling, and even Xu Qingzhu followed him, "Our teacher Xu is the most beautiful girl in the world. An empathetic person."

"Go." Xu Qingzhu pushed her, but Liang Shi hugged her and said, "I'm very sad today, so can I not coax you?"

Liang Shi said: "If you are very angry, can I coax you tomorrow?"

Xu Qingzhu's hand that was pinching her waist stopped and fell on her waist, "Then I'll coax you."

//

Xu Qingzhu said he wanted to coax Liang Shi, so he took her upstairs to eat a famous devil's spicy hot pot.

Liang Shi doesn't like spicy food very much. When she entered this restaurant, she teased, "Are you kidding me or you?"

"Coax you." Xu Qingzhu said boldly.

They followed the waiter and walked in. The bottom of the pot on each table was bright red. No one came here to eat other flavors, and many people were covered with a layer of bright red by the spicy mouth.

As a result, when he arrived at the seat, facing the menu handed over by the waiter, Xu Qingzhu said: "I want a double-packed pot bottom."

Before the waiter said that we don't have double pot bottoms here, Xu Qingzhu said: "One for mushroom soup and one for tomato."

waiter:"?"

"I'm sorry, miss, we only have three flavors here: spicy, extra spicy, and super spicy. If you want to double it, you can only use a clear water pot." The waiter patiently introduced.

Xu Qingzhu looked at her with clear eyes, and said in a very polite tone: "But my wife can't eat spicy food, I want her to eat these two flavors, you can help me with two clear water, can I cook it myself? Qian Zhao pay."

The waiter was embarrassed, probably the first time he heard such a request.

But it wasn't too difficult to satisfy, the waiter ordered two water pots for her, without counting her money.

Xu Qingzhu ordered some more dishes, and when the waiter walked away, Liang Shicai asked her inexplicably, "Why do you ask for something else instead of spicy food when you come to a place that specializes in spicy food?"

Xu Qingzhu didn't explain, just said: "Wait for me for 5 minutes."

Then he got up and left, walking past the tables of brightly red hot pots.

Five minutes later, Xu Qingzhu came back with a pack of instant mushroom soup base and tomato hot pot base. She tore open the packaging bag and poured the two bags of seasoning into it.

Their table suddenly seemed out of place.

"Ms. Liang." Xu Qingzhu lowered his eyebrows, stirred the bottom of the pot with his serving chopsticks, and said to her when the water boiled: "You don't have to do something in any scene, you can learn to break the rules occasionally .”

Xu Qingzhu's voice was very soft.

Liang Shi looked at her through the dense mist. The hot pot restaurant was full of spicy smells. Only their table smelled of mushroom soup and tomato. One was milky white and the other was scarlet. Everything was different from this environment.

And Xu Qingzhu's voice sounded again: "People should be selfish. No matter how great you are, you shouldn't go beyond human nature. And it's really cool to break the rules and get rid of the shackles. This is what I know after I died once."

Liang Shi: "..."

Immediately, I felt that the meal in front of me was not a hot pot, but a pot of philosophy.

These two bags of hot pot base ingredients are sublimated in situ.

Liang Shi boiled the plate of meat into the mushroom soup pot, "Others eat red, we eat white, it's really not bad."

Xu Qingzhu smiled, then took the plate of meat from her hand, and put it in with chopsticks, "Don't move, I'll do it."

Liang Shi: "..."

For some reason, the picture in the morning suddenly appeared in her mind.

That's the same sentence, but it wasn't what Xu Qingzhu said.

At that time, Liang Shi said: "Don't move, I will do it."

It was only after Xu Qingzhu finished speaking that she realized that something was wrong with what she said, but she didn't make up for it, and let Liang Shi think wildly.

Liang Shi's ears turned red from thinking about it alone, but the touch on his hand seemed to still be there.

She pinched her earlobe, but Xu Qingzhu's arm crossed the table and pinched her earlobe too.

Liang Shi looked at her, "Why?"

Xu Qingzhu's cold fingertips were still a little wet. Hearing her question, he smiled and asked her: "Mr. Liang, your ears are so red, what are you thinking?"

Liang Shi: "..."

Her teasing tone made Liang Shi's ears redder, and it kept turning red between her fingertips.

The way she caressed made people think of what happened this morning, so Liang Shi held her hand and said, "Eat meat."

"Whose meat?" Xu Qingzhu answered subconsciously.

Liang Shi: "..."

Liang Shi secretly poked and gritted his teeth, "Your."

Xu Qingzhu sat opposite her, picked up a piece of meat for her with serving chopsticks, and smiled at her through the dense mist: "Where is it from?"

Liang Shi: "..."

This meal is really hard to eat in your mouth.

//

When I came out of the mall, it was raining again outside.

As if the short sunny day in the afternoon was just for people to come out to relax, the pattering rain wet the whole city.

There are not a few people who are trapped in shopping malls without umbrellas.

Many people were standing at the exit of the mall waiting for the rain to stop, and there were young couples hugging each other because it was too cold. Xu Qingzhu and Liang Shi stood closer at best, with their hands in their pockets, as if they didn’t know each other. .

Liang Shi glanced at the young lovers around him several times, and then at Xu Qingzhu, who was indifferent, but she didn't dare to act rashly.

As a result, someone from the next door squeezed Xu Qingzhu directly to Liang Shi's side, and Liang Shi stretched out his hand to help Xu Qingzhu.

The other party apologized repeatedly, and Xu Qingzhu replied that it was okay in a distant manner.

Liang Shi supported her and asked, "Are you all right?"

Xu Qingzhu stood up straight, but said, "I have something to do."

Liang Shi: "?"

Xu Qingzhu put his hands into her coat pocket, "I'm a little cold in my pocket."

After a while, Liang Shi also dropped his hands back into his coat pockets, which happened to cover her hands. Indeed, as she said, her coat pockets were too cold, so even her hands were cold.

Liang Shi smiled and said, "It's warm in my pocket."

"Are all Alphas so warm, or just you?" Xu Qingzhu asked casually.

Liang Shi shook his head: "I don't know, and I have never held Alpha's hand."

"So you pulled Omega?" Xu Qingzhu said.

Liang Shi: "Do you count?"

"Forget it." Xu Qingzhu said with certainty.

The voices of the two are not high, and they can only be heard by each other, that is, the tone of casual chatting.

The awkward quarrel in the afternoon seemed never to have happened.

When the rain was about to stop, Liang Shi's phone rang, and it was another strange number.

After taking over the original owner's mobile phone without a note, Liang Shi was used to answering unfamiliar numbers. After she picked it up, she greeted politely: "Hello. How are you?"

I only heard crying from the other end of the phone, it was a female voice.

The voice was a bit familiar, and after careful identification, Liang Shi tentatively called out, "Wan Wan?"

Liang Wanwan stopped suddenly, and said yes between crying.

Liang Shi immediately said: "What's the matter? Don't cry, what happened?"

Liang Wanwan paused for a while before saying, "Sister, I... I slapped Liang Xinran across the face."
