The night in the prison was broken, and the iron bars inlaid on the small windows cut the moon shadow into many pieces, and the broken moonlight penetrated into the cold and rusted railings, and sprinkled on the ground piece by piece.

Lu Zhengqiu narrowed his eyes, staring at those pale and bright fragments in a daze.

The ground is very clean and is cleaned frequently. There are beds, tables and chairs in the room, and even pens, inks, papers and inkstones. If it weren’t for the smell of rust blowing in the wind, this place would almost be like a quiet and comfortable study.

This cleanliness was due to Si Yutong’s entrustment. It was not her idea to imprison Lu Zhengqiu, but her own request, so she did not regard Lu Zhengqiu as a criminal, and she hoped that he would have a better life in prison.

Lu Zhengqiu was not having a good time.

Unexpected kindness is like a sharp knife, cutting off his dignity.In Hayama he had stayed in a harsher place, and in the distant past, he had experienced crueler torture than this.But none of his past encounters made him feel so pins and needles.

He didn’t have to be like this, he was once the most ruthless killer of the Demon Cult, he could have lived a more ruthless life.It was he who personally placed affection in the empty heart. If affection was the root cause of the disease, he would have already been terminally ill.

Physical pain is nothing compared to this.Patience is his strong point. He held his breath in the cold and waited quietly, waiting for the end of his long breath and the moment when life would be freed from the sick body.

He heard a knock on the wall.

In the cell next door was Nan Yanqi, he ignored it, but the knocking sound became more and more intense, accompanied by a frivolous voice: “Since you have come to accompany me, but you don’t talk to me, are you planning to suffocate here? Seeing that he didn’t answer, he simply raised his voice, “Stop pretending, do you think I’ve never seen the way you speak eloquently in front of the brat?”

After a long time, he sighed: “Now that the dust has settled, what else is there to say?”

The voice on the other side of the wall paused: “What do you mean when the dust has settled? What are your plans for the future, please tell me quickly.”

“My plan has been announced in public a long time ago, you probably haven’t heard it.”

Soon, the sound of tapping on the wall turned into a heavy pounding: “Hey, are you really going to plead guilty?”

Lu Zhengqiu said: “Of course it is true.”

Nan Yanqi’s tone sank: “Don’t forget that you promised to save me!”

Lu Zhengqiu shook his head and said, “We have nowhere to escape.”

Nan Yanqi’s breathing became heavy, and a hoarse questioning voice came almost against the wall: “…you lied to me?”

Lu Zhengqiu still said flatly: “I persuaded you nine years ago. It’s too late now.”

Nan Yanqi sneered: “Advise me to put on airs like you, and then go kidnap a brat and tame him like a dog?”

Hearing this, Lu Zhengqiu only felt his head buzzing, and a suppressed moan could not help but escape from his throat.

Nan Yanqi didn’t let him lose his composure for a moment, and said with a sneer, “What are you afraid of, in front of that puppy, you are really better at seducing than a bitch.”

“I was wrong!” Lu Zhengqiu stopped the other party from continuing, and then gave a self-deprecating chuckle, “You are right, I was putting on airs, but now I have confessed the truth, I can’t even save myself, How can I save you?”

Nan Yanqi was also startled, as if he finally realized the seriousness of the situation, and said eagerly: “Lu Zhengqiu, my siblings, do you know how lucky you are? You were able to look back back then, why can’t I now? Let you enjoy all the benefits? If you hadn’t abandoned me…”

“I won’t abandon you again.” Lu Zhengqiu interrupted him.

“So you get me out quickly.”

“I won’t rescue you either.” He paused for a moment, then said, “I will die with you.”

Nan Yan Qi was stunned, beat the wall with his fist, and angrily said: “Are you stupid? You locked yourself up, really want to die?”

Lu Zhengqiu turned around, put his back against the cold wall, and let his body slide down.

He felt more tired than ever, and he couldn’t even exert the strength to continue standing.

He lowered his head, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said in an inaudible voice: “Yes, I have been thinking about it for a long time.”

There was a sound of footsteps coming from the end of the corridor, the sound of heavy boots, accompanied by the clanging of sabers, it was the jailer who came to deliver food.

Seeing the figures of the two jailers getting closer, Nan Yanqi couldn’t help turning around and leaving his back to them. He has been spurned countless times these days, and he really doesn’t bother to pay attention to it.

He heard a spitting sound, but it was from the direction next door.

“The master is kind to you, but we are not so kind.”

“It’s a waste of food to keep you alive, pay for your life as soon as possible.”

The cursing sound did not come to him, but to vent to Lu Zhengqiu next door.

Nanyan Qida was astonished. After the jailer walked away, he walked to the door of the cell and looked out along the corridor.

The dinner plate placed by Lu Zhengqiu’s door was kicked over, and muddy saliva hung on the shriveled steamed buns, presenting a miserable appearance.

He was surprised: “What did you say to them?”

Lu Zhengqiu did not answer.

“So that’s how it is,” Nan Yanqi showed a look of sudden realization, “You are really stupid. Not only did you throw yourself into a trap, but you also dragged me to be buried with you. Do you think I will thank you? Even if I become a ghost, I won’t let you go.” You who are also ghosts.”

Lu Zhengqiu remained silent, allowing the other party to curse. After an unknown amount of time, Nan Yanqi finally lost all strength in cursing. He stopped hitting the wall, and no sound came out. He seemed to be asleep.

He still didn’t feel sleepy at all.

The night was extremely long, like a boundless sea, into which the peaceful days of the past merged and quickly disappeared, like an illusory dream.

Happiness is fleeting, only suffering is eternal.

Just before Lu Zhengqiu closed his tired eyes, the moonlight flickered.

It was because a figure floated in front of the window, disturbing the moonlight.

Lu Zhengqiu felt a gaze, urgent and flustered, looking at him blankly across the cold night.

That should never be the case.

This is a prison, and the courtyard is isolated from the market, separated by high walls, and even guarded by guards.

Even without these, that person should never have appeared here.

As if to answer his question, he knocked on the window sill with both hands, clanging the rusted iron, and the sound penetrated into his ears like an evening bell.

He heard a familiar voice calling him: “Master, it’s me.”

The moonlight shone through every corner of the prison, chasing him, leaving him nowhere to escape.

He finally opened his eyes and looked towards the window.

He met a heavy gaze, the owner of the gaze looked much more haggard than a few days ago, the eye circles were blue and black, and the dark eyes were sunken deep in the shadow of the eye sockets, although he was dressed in brocade, his shoulders were much thinner than before Little, his Adam’s apple trembled up and down in the cool wind, hesitant to speak.

The boy he had been with for nine years grew up overnight and lost his childishness.

His heart was both gratified and bitter, and he suddenly wanted to cross the broken moonlight and use a pair of intact hands to hug his young man again.

But he just stood there, shook his head and said, “Holly, you shouldn’t be here.”
