Chapter 697 The Lock That Was Unlocked
Just as He Lingling was about to pass out from being force-fed milk, the full bottle of goat milk was finally poured out—no, it was all gone.
Sun Qin carefully shook the empty plastic bottle in her hand, casually tossed it into the sink, and quickly helped the swaying He Lingling.
"He Lingling!"
He Lingling felt a sharp pain in her throat, and her vision went completely white. Sun Qin's voice calling her sounded like it was coming from another world, with a heavy emphasis.
"Are you alright? Oh my god, all this wool..."
Sun Qin anxiously patted the wool that had fallen off He Lingling's body, feeling a chill on her skin whenever she touched the wool.
Who wouldn't feel cold wearing that? Wool can be quite polluting!
--etc!
Sun Qin paused in her patting motion, and stiffly looked down at her hands and the barely visible wool stuck to her clothes.
...Although I know that these are wools that He Lingling shed after drinking goat milk, are they still contagious...?
Thinking of this, Sun Qin felt a chill run down her spine.
He Lingling finally regained her senses. She leaned on Sun Qin, her legs weakly twitching forward as she coughed violently.
"...Come on, help me to bed."
In just a few minutes, He Lingling's voice was almost completely ruined, becoming hoarse and unpleasant to hear.
“…Oh, oh oh.”
Sun Qin came to her senses and helped her walk out of the bathroom.
Just as the two stepped out of the bathroom and were about to touch the bed, they heard the sound of someone turning the lock on the door behind them.
He Lingling and Sun Qin: "..."
Their hearts skipped a beat, and they instinctively exchanged a glance.
The former had bloodshot eyes with numerous red veins covering the entire white of his eyes, looking extremely tired.
Sun Qin suppressed her fear and whispered, "I...I'll go open the door?"
He Lingling: "...No need, she should be able to come in by herself."
"what?"
As they spoke, the "person" outside the door, who was turning the doorknob, seemed to become agitated, and the sound of the door lock being turned forcefully grew louder and louder! The sound made the eyelids of the two sober people inside twitch.
Sun Qin helped He Lingling, who was still a little weak, to another empty bed, and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand.
"Could it be... Wu Huimin is back?"
He Lingling, now lying down, looked much calmer. She turned her head to look at the clear blue sky outside the window, her eyes squinting slightly as if stung by the light.
"possible."
He Lingling: "It's okay. If she wants to talk after she comes in, just talk to her... Anyway, this is the only time we can chat with her this afternoon."
Whether you successfully kill the BOSS or are "left behind" by Dawn Games to become a new NPC for some reason—that's a matter for later.
"..."
Sun Qin remained silent, incredulous: "Me? Do I look like the kind of person who can have a proper conversation with someone who seems to be a boss?!"
Sun Qin was shocked. She even wanted to cry. She wasn't stupid. Of course, she could tell something from He Lingling's two short sentences—He Lingling herself clearly didn't want to care about what happened after Wu Huimin came in!
How can you live like this?
"can."
He Lingling blinked weakly: "You and Wu Huimin have always had a good relationship, so don't worry about her making a move against you beforehand."
"..."
Sun Qin was speechless: "...A good relationship?"
She glared at He Lingling, who was half-asleep and almost asleep: "And what about you!"
He Lingling was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I don't know why I'm so sleepy right now. Maybe it's a side effect of being contaminated?"
Sun Qin: "..."
Sun Qin opened her mouth, then closed it, then opened it again, and finally, with a bitter face, she covered He Lingling with the blanket—the kind that covers her head.
He Lingling, whose vision was suddenly plunged into complete darkness: "..."
She found it somewhat amusing and silently pulled the blanket covering her face down a little.
"Ugh."
He Lingling heard Sun Qin sigh and heard the faint sound of the other woman dragging her feet weakly toward the door. She couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
Sun Qin is... timid as she may be, but she has a really good personality.
I just don't know how long it can last.
He Lingling lowered her eyelids, unable to resist the drowsiness that swept over her from the depths of her mind, and slowly fell asleep.
This time, there was nothing in my dream.
When Sun Qin reluctantly reached the door, she stared blankly at the noisy lock being turned repeatedly. She took a deep breath and reached out—
Click!
Sun Qin's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly took a step back.
My goodness... isn't this kind of safety mechanism being turned on a bit illogical?! Is Wu Huimin really that powerful?
Despite her wild thoughts, when the door was pushed open by someone resembling Wu Huimin, Sun Qin quickly suppressed her panic and confusion, replacing it with an expression full of surprise.
Wu Huimin, standing outside the door, tilted her head and looked at her, giggling.
"Qinqin".
Wu Huimin called Sun Qin's name affectionately, her tilted head gradually drooping and twisting:
"Since you were standing behind the door, why didn't you open it for me?"
Sun Qin: "...Huh? Yes, no, I didn't."
Her back felt cold, her head felt cold, and her hands and feet felt cold. She wished she could drag He Lingling out of the quilt to deal with Wu Huimin, who was clearly not normal at the moment.
Who the hell said everything would be alright?! She gets the feeling that Wu Huimin probably wants to chop her own head off and use it as a football right now!
Sun Qin clenched her fists helplessly. "Really, no. I was washing my hands in the bathroom just now, and I was about to open the door when... and then the door was opened by you, Huimin."
"……Yeah?"
"Of course!"
"..."
Wu Huimin stared intently into Sun Qin's eyes, as if trying to find evidence of her lying.
—Sun Qin could still pretend about this; she genuinely hadn't intended not to open the door, and she was originally planning to do so.
Having successfully brainwashed herself, Sun Qin straightened her hunched body slightly.
Yes, she didn't want to open the door.
Perhaps it was Sun Qin's "completely unashamed" appearance that "moved" Wu Huimin, because Wu Huimin's twisted and drooping head moved slightly, and finally circled around and came back to rest peacefully on her neck.
Wu Huimin smiled and rubbed her head. "Oh dear, Qinqin, you're really something. I was just joking."
Sun Qin: ...You'd better stop joking. Other people joke to amuse, but you're trying to kill someone.
Despite her inner thoughts, Sun Qin forced a laugh and said, "Really? That's quite funny."
Unexpectedly, her obviously perfunctory remark made Wu Huimin's smile deepen.
"Is it funny?"
Wu Huimin covered her mouth and laughed again, and Sun Qin's gaze involuntarily fell on her cut wrist.
