Chapter 98: Return to the Land of Dusk (9)

"You're here. Why, rest today?" Dr. Lu opened the door and saw a slumped Qile person, and quickly put in the person. "It's really time for you to come, I bought a freshly baked little cake as afternoon Tea, haha. "
"I asked for a long vacation. Didn't you say that the shop closed early in the evening? And I couldn't find any other time. I was with Ning Zhou at night." Qi Leren said. He honestly told Chen Baiqi that he was going to buy an engagement ring for Ning Zhou, letting her hide from Ning Zhou, Chen Baiqi pursed his lips, and unhappyly approved the leave.
"Okay, you guys don't want to be apart for a minute, so you'd rather take leave to escape training, right?" Dr. Lu rubbed his arms and looked like a single dog hurt by a couple.
Qi Leren snorted, "Yes, envy, hate?"
Dr. Lu covered his chest and fell down on the sofa, saying ruthlessly: "Take off the dog, don't want to eat my little cake !!!"
"Can you leave?" Qi Leren urged.
"Eat first before leaving, don't worry." Dr. Lu said.
Qi Leren is also a bit hungry, and high-intensity training always exhausts his physical fitness. The training content these days is sneaking into the assassination. Chen Baiqi did not know how to invite the illusionist. The illusionist used his skill card generously. That skill card can easily change the surrounding environment and create a completely different one. Scene, simulate different scenes. Qi Leren, like a mouse bullied by a cat, was dying under the joint training of the two.
Can no longer think about training, he had to take a break, Qi Leren thought.
After eating cake and drinking tea, Qi Leren sorted out his mood.
"I remember you were a Ph.D. Have you studied psychology?" Qi Leren asked Dr. Lu.
"Ah, how many electives, but not very professional, what do you want to ask?" Dr. Lu asked.
"In fact, I'm a bit worried about Ning Zhou's mental state. He is too different from our growing environment. His religion and education have caused him to ignore himself, or he feels that sacrifice and dedication is what he should do because every time An individual is born with original sin and is born to atone for it. Except for falling in love with a person who should not be loved, he has never done anything against his faith in his life. "Qi Leren leaned on the sofa, took a sip of black tea, and slowly treated Lu. The doctor said.
He has been suppressed in his heart for a long time. Regarding some things about Ning Zhou, he couldn't find anyone to talk to. He didn't know how to help Ning Zhou, so he had to ask Dr. Lu for help.
"The original sin theory, I know. But Ning Zhou has been affected much more than ordinary people, so the self-condemnation he chose to leave the Holy See is very strong." Dr. Lu said.
"Yes, and his departure from the Holy See does not mean that he betrayed his faith. He still believed. He just committed it after deliberate deliberations. So he believed that he would fall into after death and be punished in the lake of fire forever. It seems to us that this is nothing but a post-mortem world, but for him, it is a real existence. It is only because of love that he is willing. "Qi Leren took a deep breath and took a deep breath before he eased," He cannot It is too painful to eliminate this despair. Even if I am with him, the pain will always be with him, but I do n’t know how to help him, so I am sad. "
For Ning Zhou, this is not a love that brings happiness. It can be said that it brings millions of times more suffering than sweetness.
But it has been born and can no longer be given up.
It is already part of the soul.
"Now that I am resurrected from the dead is a good thing, but ... there are really too many problems. There are many things that we dare not stand on the stage to talk about, even if we all know that this will almost certainly happen, Ning Zhou has his thoughts on this, and I also have my choice. Once I speak, there will be no such happy and sweet time now. "Qi Leren said.
If that day really comes, Ning Zhou, who lost control, committed an unforgivable crime. Should he choose to kill Ning Zhou in order to maintain the world that Ning Zhou loves, or choose to let it go and watch him go beyond recognition and turn this world Destroyed?
When the night is quiet, he always finds it difficult to fall asleep.
He secretly prayed that this day would not come, or before this day came, they left here and went to a place where no one was, such as in the semi-realm after he solidified, in a garden full of white roses. Spend the rest of your life.
Dr. Lu looked at him confused, he was ignorant of the realm and the source of power, this was not the level he could reach, so he did not know what Qi Leren was struggling with at the moment.
Facing Dr. Lu's doubtful eyes, Qi Leren said, "I'm still worried. Ning Zhou now attaches too much importance to me. He can't accept my injuries at all, let alone death. So now I am afraid of death. , What should Ning Zhou do? "
This obsession supported him through so many difficult tasks, even in the realm projection of Killing the Demon King, he carried over, and even condensed half of the realm. However, the human will and belief cannot resist the absolute power. If the killing devil was not a small avatar at the time, I am afraid he would die forever if he did not make a breakthrough.
"The two of you ... well, I think about each other too much. It's just a warm-looking man who is dedicated to others without asking for anything. Fortunately, I'm working on a foundation, otherwise I'll have a second child for a lifetime." Dr. Lu expressed his emotions, "If anyone in love is looking forward to you and thinking about each other like you, who would dare to easily fall in love and get married. If you talk like this, the proof is a lifetime 'married.' "Unless one day is" widowed ", it is never possible to" divorce. "
"... Can you say something auspicious?" Qi Leren said silently.
"Ah, ah, ah, I was wrong, I was wrong! Widowed! You have a hundred years together!" Dr. Lu reacted and immediately covered his mouth. "Come and come, I will teach you to stack paper roses, don't hit me ! "
"The next time I come to school, I'll buy a ring first." Qi Leren was still worried about the ring.
"Come on, let's go!" Dr. Lu jumped up from the sofa and ran out of the door-tripped by his shoes and fell to the door. It seems that his self-training did not help him get out of the ground.
Qi Leren used to want to confuse his little friend, but when he saw Dr. Lu's grieved expression, he swallowed the words back and lifted him up: "Be careful, too."
"Hey, there's nothing you can do, it's natural." Dr. Lu touched the back of his head and said with a little regret, "Maybe it was to balance my IQ, so God weakened my motor nerves when he created me. Now. "
"Are you sure you are not trying to balance your luck?" Qi Leren asked.
Dr. Lu touched his chin: "That makes sense."
"Don't rely too much on luck. Luck is useless before absolute strength." Qi Leren advised.
"I know ... I know it." Dr. Lu bowed his head and shouted, "I also think I'm very wasteful, and I'm always holding you back ..."
Qi Leren comforted: "Everyone is different in what they are good at. If you can carry, fight and breast, what do your companions need to do? Everyone is imperfect, and luck is as bad as I am. You are willing to make a copy with me, and I am very grateful to you. Since you are good friends, you must tolerate the shortcomings of the other party. Now I am really glad to see your hard training and continuous improvement. "
Dr. Lu's eyes were red, and he covered his face and quickly shifted the topic: "Ah, don't say this. That jewellery store is near the steel bridge. It is a well-known old shop in the dusk. Twenty years after I opened it, I asked Xue Yingying to find out that girls just love this kind of shop. "
"Is it expensive? My budget is limited." Qi Leren worried.
"Look what kind of ring you want."
The two spoke while walking in the direction of the steel bridge.
Walking through the market and through the steel bridge, the two came to a nearby business district and found the jewelry store deep in an alley.
The old owner gently brushed the fine dust on the jewellery with a small brush. When he learned of the arrival of the two, he pulled out a large glass box from the counter, displaying a dozen delicate rings.
Qi Leren was chatting with Dr. Lu while pulling Dr. Lu to help him pick.
"The custom here seems to be that the bigger the ring, the more it represents the intention of the proposal, and you're right." Dr. Lu said.
"In fact, I already have two rings." Qi Leren said.
"Ah? Really? Show me." Dr. Lu curious.
Qi Leren took out two rings from the props bar, one was an exquisite sapphire ring—Ning Zhou put it in front of his tombstone, and suspended this period of false love that could not continue. The other was a straw ring, rough and ordinary—Ning Zhou wore it on his dead hand, determined to continue this period of love that was bound to bring him countless suffering.
"Young man, let me look at this sapphire ring." The elderly shop owner suddenly said.
Qi Leren stunned and handed him the ring.
The old man held up the ring, observed it carefully under the light, and said quietly, "Yes, this one was bought from my shop."
"So coincident?" Dr. Lu said "wow".
"Although I am old and have bad memory, I will never forget such a beautiful ring." The shop owner reluctantly returned the ring to Qi Leren. "That day, there was a man wearing the Holy See uniform. The young man hurried to my store and I asked him what he needed. He only said two words, the ring. "
Such scenes can't help but emerge in Qi Leren's mind.
After finishing the mission of sacrificing the sacrifice witch, he returned to Ning Zhou, the hometown of dusk, and was anxious to see him at the Steel Bridge, but before going to the Steel Bridge, he also came here to buy a proposal ring.
"I showed him a lot of rings and in the end he chose the most expensive one. At that time I told him that any girl who saw such a beautiful and expensive ring would not hesitate to promise him Propose marriage. "The owner looked at Qi Leren deeply and sighed lightly.
"A lot of things happened later, this ring finally came to my hands, but ... this is not a proposal, at that time he used it to say goodbye to me." Qi Leren whispered softly.
The owner smiled, and the wrinkles on his face were deepened by this smile, just like his cloudy but transparent eyes: "Is there another story in that straw ring?"
Qi Leren felt his blood surge, and he couldn't help looking down at the rough ring. It was so inconspicuous and even pitiful that it was placed beside the sapphire ring.
But he loved the ring deeply, because hidden in its rough appearance was a person's sincere love to analyze the soul, so solemn that he could not disappoint.
"Later he asked me to marry me with this ring, but I couldn't answer him. This time, I will take the initiative to ask him if he would like to make a lifetime commitment with me." Qi Leren's mouth raised. A sweet smile.
"I originally had a good ring to introduce to you. Unfortunately, it has already been bought." When talking about it, the shop owner paused and seemed to be thinking about it, and only continued for a while. "You don't need to buy anything. Ring, take this sapphire ring out, propose to your lover, and make the future that you could not have achieved, this is the best ring. "
"Yes, you have rings, what else do you buy!" Dr. Lu urged.
"I thought it was wrong, originally thinking, I should buy a ring for Ning Zhou myself ..." Qi Leren muttered.
But maybe this ring is the most suitable.
The original fate was destined to end here, but it seemed as if there were a pair of invisible hands that brought them back together in the midst of meditation.
Ning Zhou didn't even know that the ring fell into his hands.
Qi Leren snickered and said to the owner: "Thank you, I can save a lot of money this time."
"You're welcome." The owner smiled kindly and watched Qi Leren and Dr. Lu leave.
As soon as I stepped out of the jewelry store, a meow came from the roof.
Qi Leren raised his head in response. An obese safari cat fiddled with a black card. Qi Leren raised his hand subconsciously. The card was caught by him. At first glance, he noticed the silver card in the upper right corner Spades mark.
