Chapter 1156: Confession, the reason for running away from home (two chapters in one)
"Hello?"
"Ms. Su, I'm sorry to bother you so late."
"What's the matter?" Su Yue asked.
The caller was a courier, and it was unusual for him to call at such a late hour.
"I promised to deliver the express to you in the evening, but I was delayed due to some things. I can only wait until tomorrow morning to deliver it to your door." The courier said apologetically.
"It doesn't matter. When will you deliver it tomorrow morning?"
"I'll deliver it before you go to work."
"Okay."
"That's it for now, see you tomorrow."
After ending the call, if the courier hadn't called, Su Yue would have forgotten about it.
Put your phone on the sofa, take the kettle and walk towards the kitchen.
After a while, Su Yue returned to the living room with a pot of hot water.
After watching TV for a while, I felt that it was almost time, so I was ready to turn off the lights and go to bed.
Not long ago, I accidentally slept for a few hours in the park. Su Yue went to bed at this time, and it was very likely that she would not be able to fall asleep.
You have to get up early to go to work tomorrow, but you can't stay up late. Even if you can't fall asleep now, you have to lie down in bed and try to fall asleep as much as possible.
In the quiet bedroom, a faint fragrance floats in the air.
After the lights were turned off, the room was dark. Only the light from the street lamp outside the window entered the room through the gap between the curtains and cast a narrow beam of light on the wall.
Su Yue was lying on the spacious bed, covered with a very warm quilt.
She stared at the ceiling in a daze, then closed her eyes and fell asleep without realizing it.
I thought it would be difficult to fall asleep, but I didn't expect to fall asleep within a few minutes. The quality of my sleep was not that good.
After Su Yue fell asleep, at around twelve o'clock in the morning, in the dead of night, the spiritual energy floating in the air began to become restless.
Spiritual energy fluctuations appeared in the bedroom, and a large amount of spiritual energy gathered around Su Yue.
In the study room, on the expensive mahogany bookshelf, an ordinary bronze mirror comes to life.
It looked in the direction of Su Yue's bedroom. Within its range of perception, a large amount of spiritual energy gathered in Su Yue's room.
Compared with other places, the concentration of spiritual energy in Su Yue's room was several times higher.
As time passed, the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from Su Yue increased significantly.
Bronze Mirror waited for a while, and the psychic energy in the room gradually returned to normal.
Wisps of white mist appeared. The moment he saw the white mist, the bronze mirror began to become excited.
Every time Su Yue goes out, white mist will inevitably appear.
A graceful figure wearing pajamas appeared at the door of the study, exuding a cool aura, which was different from her usual temperament.
"Master." Bronze Mirror greeted him flatteringly.
"..." Su Yue, expressionless, raised her hand, and the bronze mirror immediately felt a force lifting it up.
A large amount of white mist enveloped Su Yue and Bronze Mirror. As usual, when the white mist disappeared, Su Yue and Bronze Mirror disappeared without a trace.

In the vast spiritual world, after nightfall, the moon hangs high in the sky.
Compared with the moon of the Blue Star, the moon of the spiritual world is larger.
It seems that both the sun and the moon in the spiritual world are larger than those of the Blue Star.
The city is the territory of humans. Outside the towering city walls, under the dark night, alien beasts whose faces cannot be seen are wandering around, and the beasts roar one after another.
Separated by a wall, it is divided into two worlds.
People staying outside the city at this time are always on tenterhooks.
After dark in the city, some bustling areas are still very lively, and they are a bit more lively than during the day.
The carriage was driving on the road, and the horses' hooves made a clicking sound on the ground.
When the carriage stopped in front of the hospital, the driver shouted to the passengers in the carriage.
"Sir, we've arrived."
Lin Li opened the curtain and got out of the car, said thank you to the driver, and then paid the fare.
The driver got off work later than usual today, but he made a lot of money from this last business.
The smiling coachman bid farewell to Lin Li and drove the carriage back home.
Passing by a candy store on the way home, the driver stopped the car and went to the candy store to buy some candies to take back to his children at home.
Lin Li walked into the hospital and came to the door of the ward. Just as he was about to reach out and push the door open, the door in front of him opened first.
A middle-aged woman appeared in front of her. This middle-aged woman was in her fifties and was wearing gray clothes.
"Huh?"
When Lin Li saw the other party, he thought he was in the wrong ward. He took two steps back and looked up at the number on the door frame.
"I'm not looking in the wrong place."
"Hello, I am a nurse at the medical center. Sir, are you a family member of that young lady?" The middle-aged woman saw Lin Li's puzzled expression. She had encountered this situation many times, so she opened her mouth to explain.
It turned out to be a nurse, let me tell you, how could he have found the wrong place... Lin Li muttered in his heart, and then he walked into the ward.
Qin Muqing lay quietly on the hospital bed, covered with a light blanket.
Now she still hasn't woken up, but fortunately her pale face has recovered a little. Depending on the situation, it won't be long before she wakes up.
Lin Li stretched out his hand to pull out a chair and sat down. He looked at Qin Muqing, whose appearance had changed drastically, and muttered to himself.
"Why did you change your appearance? Is there any enemy?"
…………
The security situation in Shuanghe City is very bad. Although there is no curfew at night, in some relatively remote places, there is no one on the road early.
As for other busy roads, at around nine o'clock at night, people on the road began to go home one after another.
This is not the case in Dongwu City. Even after eleven o'clock at night, there are still many people on the roads in many places.
The public security is terrible, and for safety reasons, we definitely don’t dare to stay out very late.
Soldiers patrol at night, but there are not many patrol teams. I don't know if it is a financial problem, or if they can't recruit people even if they give money.
The medical center is open 24 hours a day, which is the same as the hospital on Blue Star.
Suddenly, a carriage came from a distance, and the sound of horse hooves sounded in the street. Because it was quiet at night, it was especially clear.
When the carriage stopped, the people in the carriage immediately carried a wounded man covered in blood out of the carriage.
The receptionist in the medical center frowned subconsciously when he saw the other party.
He was very familiar with these people. They belonged to gangs.
Every night, these gangs in the city would fight, and someone would inevitably be injured, and then they would be sent to the hospital for treatment.
"Someone, come quickly! My brother has been seriously injured and can't hold on any longer." As soon as the man with a loud voice spoke, he immediately attracted the attention of many people in the medical center.
"Don't be so loud, it will affect other patients' rest." A doctor walked over from a distance and said with a steady face.
These gang members don't have a good look on other people, but the doctors at the medical center are an exception. After all, they can save their lives at critical moments.
Reprimanded by the doctor, the gang members immediately lowered their voices. Then the wounded were taken away.
Lin Li came out of the bathroom and happened to see this scene.
Not long after he arrived in Shuanghe City, he encountered these gang members one after another, and he couldn't help but wonder if he had a conflict with these guys.
…………
"嘤~"
In the quiet ward, a soft moan suddenly sounded.
Qin Muqing's eyelids trembled, and then he opened his eyes a thin slit.
His shiny black eyes looked at the unfamiliar ceiling, and the thoughts in his mind moved very slowly. This was the sequelae of the illness.
"Where is this?"
"Am I not at home? How come I am here?"
Qin Muqing found that she was not at home, with a confused expression on her face.
The latest chapter of this novel was first published on 6@9书#. Please go to Liujiu Book Bar to read it!
Observing the situation in the room carefully, she knew that she was in the ward of the hospital.
Suddenly, she looked at the window glass, and a figure with a beautiful face came into view.
"Eh?"
"My appearance...!!!"
Just when Qin Muqing was panicking, the door to the ward was opened.
Lin Li walked into the ward and looked at Qin Muqing who turned around.
The two sides looked at each other, and the scene suddenly became very quiet.
This time the illness was so serious that I couldn't bear it and fell into a coma.
Lin Li happened to return home and met himself unconscious.
The moment Qin Muqing saw Lin Li, all the doubts in her heart were instantly answered.
"You finally woke up." Lin Li broke the silence and sat down on the chair in front of the hospital bed.
"..." Qin Muqing avoided looking at Lin Li.
"Can you tell me why you changed your appearance?" Lin Li said calmly.
"..." Qin Muqing had a thousand words in her heart, but she didn't know how to speak at this time.
Originally, she had thought of waiting for Lin Li to come back, saying goodbye to him, and then finding a place to spend her last days.
As a result, all the plans were disrupted, and after being hidden for so long, they were finally exposed.
"If you don't want to say it, I won't force you... Are you hungry now? I'll buy you something to eat..." Lin Li stood up as he spoke.
"Alas..." Qin Muqing sighed and said to Lin Li.
"I'm sorry, I lied to you."
Lin Li looked at Qin Muqing quietly, waiting for what she would say next.
Qin Muqing leaned against the bedside and said slowly, "I'm not from the village, I'm from the imperial capital..."
Lin Li sat down again, "Coming from the Imperial Capital? This distance is really far."
The first time the two met was in Dongwu City. The imperial capital and Dongwu City were tens of thousands of miles apart. This distance was not ordinary.
Not to mention that ordinary people would not travel long distances from the imperial capital to Dongwu City, which is tens of thousands of miles away.
Qin Muqing's physical condition is far inferior to that of ordinary people, so there must be some special reason.
"My family arranged a marriage for me, but I ran away from home in order to escape the marriage."
"Eh?!!!"
Lin Li was stunned when he heard the reason why Qin Muqing came to such a far place.
"Well, I know my physical condition well. I have always opposed the marriage arranged by my family. Seeing that I couldn't change it, I ran out in anger." Qin Muqing said.
"At first I thought you changed your appearance because you had enemies, but I didn't expect it to be this reason," Lin Li said.
Qin Muqing felt relaxed all over after telling what he had concealed for a long time.
After all, Lin Li was very kind to her and kept it secret, so she couldn't let it go.
"You are in very bad health. You are so courageous running around." Lin Li said.
"Hehe, I have always been very courageous. I was very angry at the time and ran out on impulse..." After Qin Muqing confessed, her whole person became relaxed and her tone of voice also changed.
Lin Li looked at Qin Muqing, who had become more lively, and thought that this should be her original personality.
"Well... I originally planned to say goodbye to you." Qin Muqing said.
"Farewell?" Lin Li was stunned for two seconds after hearing this, and then asked, "Am I not treating you well? I actually made you want to leave."
"You were very kind to me. I ran away from home and encountered many unlucky things along the way.
Not long after arriving in Dongwu City, I was robbed by bad guys. If you hadn't helped me, I wouldn't have known what I would have done next. "Qin Muqing said slowly, recalling the scene when the two first met.
"Then you still want to say goodbye to me?"
"My time is running out. You have given me a lot of help. If I die in your home again, then I will not be a human being."
"Uh..." Lin Li didn't know what to say after hearing Qin Muqing's explanation.
He found that Qin Muqing was very calm in the face of death. Thinking from his perspective, if this happened to him, he would not be as calm as her.
"Thank you." Qin Muqing expressed her heartfelt thanks. "In the last days of my life, I am lucky to meet such a good person like you."
"..." Lin Li raised his hand and scratched his head, not knowing how to answer this.
"My health is fine now. I'll go home and pack my things tomorrow morning before leaving." Qin Muqing glanced at the sky outside the window and said with a smile.
"Do you know how much time you have left?" Lin Li asked.
"It should be half a month away!" Qin Muqing said uncertainly.
Before, she had a specialized doctor diagnose her at home.
Qin Muqing can know roughly how much time is left after each diagnosis.
However, this time she ran away from home, her physical condition deteriorated very quickly, and the time when the doctor originally diagnosed her would definitely change.
Qin Muqing discounted, knowing that there was still half a month left.
"The doctor at this hospital just diagnosed you and said that you have no more than seven days left..." Lin Li said.
"No more than seven days! It's much less than I expected." Qin Muqing's expression did not change at all after hearing what Lin Li said.
"You are so calm."
"I have been like this since I was a child. If it were you, you would be as calm as me."
"..." Lin Li was silent again. Facing Qin Muqing, who was terminally ill, he wanted to comfort him, but he was at a loss for words and didn't know how to speak.
Seeing Lin Li in trouble, Qin Muqing said with a considerate smile.
"Lin Li, you don't have to comfort me. I've heard countless comforting words since I was a child, and I've long been tired of them."
Lin Li nodded slightly, and then changed the topic, "The doctor at this medical center gave me a prescription. If I can gather the ingredients on the prescription, I can extend your life."
Qin Muqing declined Lin Li's kindness, "It should be difficult to obtain the items on the prescription. Even if you can get it together, it can only last for a short period of time for me. You don't have to do this for me."
Lin Li smiled and said, "For other people, the things on the prescription are difficult to obtain, but for me it is quite simple, so don't think it will cause me any trouble."
